If you have a locked bootloader that will really not work.
Go ahead and try this installer and see if it would work CWM installer for locked bootloader
But there should be no problem on installing it since it is modded to work for locked bootloaders.

I saw a few posts with solutions how to root newest FW (autoroot, root using recovery) but I don't have unlocked BL and I can't unlock it because my phone doesn't fastboot.
So is there a tricky way (I know how to use ADB so I won't have a problem with it if there's a solution using it) how to root newest fw for those with locked BL?
Please, don't offtop if you don't have nothing smart to say.

Yeah but what if we don't want to unlock the bootloader...flashing won't work cuz the update isn't OTA. What is this Recovery mode everyone is talking about?
I don't think you can flash a firmware through recovery AKA clockwork mod
To use recovery aka clock work mod you need to use fastboot to boot recovery play IMG, and flash a custom ROM like Dalvik2Cache

Only way to get root with locked bootloader is by ota if available.
With unlocked bootlaoder you can do by several ways, for example flash pre-rooted DoomLord's kernel.
Thanks for every reply. I don't need root for now, I just wanted to ask if it's possible
BTW newest FW is awesome

Yes you can simple re-flash to 2.3.2 root with gingerbreak and do an OTA update and you'll keep your root running 2.3.3 gingerbread rooted 4.0.A.2.368 R00i with locked bootloader...
You can use the new zergrush exploit, I heard that it works on 2.3.3

Hi, i own a Xperia Play since 3 days.
Normaly it is no problem for me to root my older devices and put cwm on it.
But the Xperia Play makes me angry...
I managed without problems to unlock the bootloader.
Than i installed .42. There i could root the phone and put cwm on it but when i installed a custom rom, the device stuck on "sony ericsson" bootlogo, so i need to install stock .42 again. (i rooted with superoneclick and flashtool) CWM was installed by the cwm app and "cwm-install" from the forum.
No methode works for me to install a custom rom.
Now i installed .62 tft on the device because with .42 didnt worked for me.
But now i couldn't install root(superoneclick or flashtool doesn't work). So i couldn't install a cwm.
Could you help me ? I read a lot of threads, but couldn't find an answere.
I read something with kernel, but kernels are normaly installed by customrom itself or manualy after installing rom, i am right=!
I hope you could help me, because i want a fast device.
Best regards bikerboy-030

.62 firmware is unrootable by normal methods, therefore you have to use a pre-rooted rom/kernel to have root and CWM
thanks for the fast answer!!!
Thx a lot, now i know, that i do not need to test it with this rom any more
Does an pre rootet stock rom exist, that i can install with flashtool?
So that i can install cwm over the new app? That would be awesome

Try DooMKernel. Pre-rooted and comes with CWM.
BTW there is only pre-rooted kernel, not rom. My mistake

I am in the the situation but couldn't work out how to flash new kernel.

doomkernel brother !

yep BL is unlocked and ill try his method..cud u tell me the reason behind this problem???
Now that JB for ion has been released, i found two root methods.
One for unlocked booloaders and the other for....i dont know, which is what i am here to ask
the other one is by spectre:
LT28h-6.2.B.0.211-Stock-Rooted-Deodexed.zip
If we have an Rooted ICS with CWM installed on an Xperia ION with LOCKED bootloader,
can we also simply flash this via CWM
if yes then do we have to wipe anything?
If no then...alright xD
Yes you need to wipe for Spectra's pre root JB. Us locked loader guys have to use this method until someone comes up with a root. The only thing we still need is a working cwm but that should happen soon.

don't you also have to flash the jellybean kernel too otherwise you get bootloop?
Correct after you flash the rom shut the phone off and flash the kernal. If you guys would just read a little bit all of the answers are in the last few pages of the thread.
I tried a few ways to install CM11 on Galaxy TabPro 10.1 (picassowifi) and it doesn't work.
I can't even install a custom recovery, either CMR or TWRP. I think my Samsung bootloader maybe locked. Yes, I have rooted it OK and Root Checker tells me its rooted and SuperSU has been update and works fine. Titanium Backup works fine also, so I know its rooted OK.
Still running stock rom 4.4.2. Trying with Odin to load Recovery image and also Flashyfy but neither can install CMR or TWRP on my device. They just leave the stock bootloader in place. So I am thinking maybe the bootloader is locked?
Any advice, and if you have managed to install CM11 on this device, is there a step-by-step guide with file links somewhere?
Thanks

Yes I got into download mode OK. Power and volume up etc. In fact, that was the way I rooted it originally. Download mode on tablet and Odin on PC

Did you followed the instructions below?

If it not helped then I think you have a locked bootloader.

Yeah I tried those instructions, Heimdall Suite. That just gave an error and messed up stock recovery. It then just got stuck on Samsung screen possibly trying to get into recovery mode. . I used my trusted root method again (via download mode) and it re-routed and put back stock recovery. So that fixed that but still no Custom Recovery and no CM11
Is there any way to check if the bootloader is locked or not?
If the bootloader is locked, any ideas how to unlock on this tablet?
Thanks

Bootloader is not locked.
Try using flashify to install twrp if you are having problems with Odin/heimdall.

I tried Flashyfy. It goes through the process and says "imaged flashed" etc but then it just reboots the tablet back into stock recovery.

Yes its rooted. Flashify also confirms root.
Anyway, I got it sorted now. The problem was version 2.8 of TWRP did not work with this tablet and Flashify. It just booted back into stock recovery. But version 2.7 of TWRP worked fine and that's fine for me.
Thanks everyone
same problem here
Hi, I'm having the same problem with my rooted Tab Pro 10.1. Unfortunately, v2.7 with Flashify still results in booting to the same stock recovery. Did you follow any additional steps to get yours working? Any other suggestions? (I tried the other methods you tried also)

No, v2.7 worked for me but maybe it was nothing to do with that. I may have just got lucky.
Try Rashr (from Google Play). I had success on other devices with this just to get TWRP on

Using one of the root checker apps, it reported my device as having clockworkmod recovery even though it didn't boot into that. Must have only half worked or something, who knows. I just tried Rashr and that has just sucessfully installed TWRP so I think for here on I'm golden. Thanks so much for recommending me that!
