Hi, I m from Brazil
I just bought a Xperia ZQ and it s my first Sony. Can you help me with some questions?
I ve already know that I can change my carrier version by another registered one downloaded right here in xda website without root or unlock the bootloader, right?
As I m not a developer, why would I need to root and unlock the bootloader?
Where, if It is possible, can I find different skins and themes for it?
How can I know about new upates? For example, new releases of firmware or android versions?
Thank you

Its called Xperia ZL so just search it on the search for device bar. You dont have to be a developer to unlock as unlocking can give you cool roms that can be very much customized.

You get updates thru SONY and you will get a notification when you can get a update.
To see if you can unlock your bootloader go to
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions as it will tell you the directions then once you have unlocked, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2095 and find some roms. ( its a little dangerous if you dont know what your doing ) and UNLOCKING will void the warranty

If you have already unlocked your bootloader, without backing up your Drm Keys, then you wont get the bravia engine back.

I havent unlocked my bootloader yet. I just rooted (the bootloader changed unlockable yes to no), installed cwm and made a backup using cwm, saved in internal storage. Is that enough? Is this backup saved the drm keys?
Thank you

Use the tutorial I have linked above, with that method you will get your phone back to factory-state when you want to.

I have a unrelated question, because I'm planning to buy this phone here in Brazil. Battery is something you can rely on with 3G on?

The phone is fantastic, but the battery is below average even with 3g, altough the relates i hear about SIV are even worse. Since HTC don't sell officialy in Brazil anymore, i don't trust in LG and Motorola don't have a rival for these phones i think ZQ is the best choise.
I'm a heavy user, so i charge it twice a day,but with moderate use + stamina mode i think you can get a day of battery.
Please help me, look, I'll explain my situation, I have an XPERIA S LT26, I bought locked to a carrier, or at least that's what I though. My deviced stopped getting software upgrades from Sony, so I though, cyanogenmod, why not? So I started searching for info and stuff, I realized that my bootloader was locked and with: "Unlocked Allowed: No", so Sony told me that I had to unlocked the phone with the SIMLOCK code, so I get the code, and when trying to input it with a friends microSim, supposedly "not acceptable", the phone started normally and never asked my for the code... and it was completly functionable! I was able to call with he's microSim and everything, for some reason the 3G for the internet didn't worked... I don't know what to do, in the service menu of my device it appears the "X" on Network and then a 5, on everything else there's no X and there's some 0...So i guess this means is still locked? But as I told you the phone worked great with another sim...
PLEASE HELP I NEED TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER, INSTALL CYANOGENMOD IS MY DREAM.... :crying:
THANKS PEOPLE!
I can show you the path to your dream!

You dont have to unlock bootloader to install Cyanogenmod.. there is a workaround to install Cyanogenmod 10 on Xperia S without unlocking bootloader! check this link and follow the steps.. its pretty simple.. good luck! :fingers-crossed:

It's Awesome! I've already flash it! It's there a way that this could lead to CM 11 to locked bootloaders? Or at least 10.2 10.1?
THANKS!
Nope, I don't thinks so.. they havent got a workaround to install CM11 for locked bootloaders yet.. (CM11 still has bugs) :/ wait with patience.. it might come up soon! :fingers-crossed:

Sorry bro, bad luck for you.. You cant get CM11 on locked bootloader.. because the latest version of android for SXS is 4.1.2 and has a kernel for 4.1.2, that's why CM10 worked.. because the kernel is supported.. if you need 4.4 KitKat.. you need to have 4.4 kernel.. since you cant get 4.4 kernel with locked bootloader.. its kinda impossible for you to get KitKat.. lets hope someone finds a workaround for that if its possible.. :fingers-crossed:
btw, CM10 is pretty awesome.. smooth and good on the battery and has no actual bugs except for a very very rare freeze on the recent apps screen.. a bug that you probably wont come across..
Good Luck..!

Sorry to heard that... Anyway, I think I should be able to unlock my bootloader, I mean I have the SimLock code, but as I told you before I'm having problems... Any idea how can I unlock it?
PD: So CM 10.1 or 10.2 should be able to run on locked bootloaders?

If it's not a problem, try this.. I'm not sure if it will work.. But it's worth a shot if you want bootloader unlocked so badly..
Use Emma flash tool from Sony..
Flash the latest 4.1.2 stock ROM (world)..
(when you select the rom to flash, Check if there is a file called simlock.ta on the right side, if it's there.. Uncheck it and then flash)
After flashing the clean rom.. Check again in the service menu if bootloader unlock is allowed..
If not use your friend's sim again and check if they ask for sim lock code..
Hope It works..
Good luck..
P. S. Yes if they release cm 10.1 or 10.2 for locked bootloader.. You can install..
YEAH.

Oh, sorry bout that, my bad.. :/ did some research on it and no luck.. it seems that you can't get colored emoticons on android unless we get official 4.4, or some dev has to port it from 4.4.. :/ if we need colored emoji we have to modify system fonts for emoji, and its too much of advanced work.. hope someone ports it for 4.1.2 cuz I don't think Xperia S will get any new update..
:fingers-crossed: let's hope someone ports it for us..

So as the thread says, this is a single question: I've been a Cyanogenmod user for many years, and now that I have an Xperia ZL with locked bootloader, I want to know what options I have for custom roms. I've tried MIUI but haven't found other roms to try.
sorry ignore. wrong post
Also wondering this. Every time I try to flash omni or cm with twrp or philz for locked bootloaders my phone bricks and I need to recover it with xperia tools.
you need unlocked bootloader to install custom roms/kernels.

Locked bootloaders cannot flash ROMs which depend on a different kernel (such as Cyanogenmod). Bad luck for us, bro.

eXistenZ is nice. try looking in the "Xperia ZL Android Development" section. look at the titles of each thread. look for ones that start something like this:
[ROM][LB][UB]
simply put, it means its a rom ([ROM]) for locked bootloaders ([LB]} and unlocked bootloaders ([UB])
those are the ones you can use.
Thanks mate, I'll take a look
Hello, Mark here I have an Asus Zenfone 2 64 gb edition now I am wondering if there is an official unlock method yet or not ive done research but every time I google it all I get is unofficial unlocks and I am not sure if I would trust the unofficial site. Also I was wondering what most of the users on here think of zenUI and whether or not Asus loads to many of there own apps onto this phone or? I bought mine not that long ago from a place called memoryexpress In canada. Every site I have found with unofficial unlock has all these links to crappy sites that say fill out survey to download files. and I know though sites are a waste. Also sorry if this is the wrong forum section for this post.
Not. Just UNOFFICIAL.

If you mean bootloader unlock, you can do that from here... Search for one click bootloader unlock. Just be aware that once unlocked you CAN'T relock bootloader... If you want root then easiest is to use Shakalak's pre-rooted rom in Android Developement section of the forum... You don't need bootloade unlocked to root your phone however if you want to replace recovery with TWRP and install custom rom/kernels then you need to unlock the bootloader...

No problems with Zenui, If you don't like the theme or icons, swipe up from the bottom of screen. You can change theme from there and load icon packs in too...
With 4gb of Ram even Touchwizz would be flawless...

I've got to agree - I bought mine from Value Basket, advertised as an EU version but the IMIE is for a Singapore carrier and because of that I can't unlock the bootloader, hence I'm stuck with a fantastic phone with good, but not brilliant firmware and no way to flash my favourite CFW's.

Easy there! That's not how things work around here. Also, it's not that developers wouldn't try. People worked on it and may still be working on a solution. Maybe, next time you buy a new phone, make sure you don't spend hundreds of dollars on a device you can't unlock or where it's uncertain whether it'll be unlockable or not. After all, you're a "flashaholic".
Shameful post(op)

I feel your frustration, though (misguided), you need to read a bit about unlocking the bootloader for many of the G4 models.
You are not the only one that feels as you do. You certainly do not need to be rude about your frustration, furthermore blaming people on XDA is wrong. XDA users had nothing to do with locking the bootloader.
BTW you are correct there is a donation thread somewhere.Why not learn how to develop and be the one that could do what no other could:good:
There are enough rant threads already out there, no need to keep this afloat.
PS thanks for being a member of XDA and I look forward to your development

No need to see into the future. You just need to think harder. LG is known for locking down devices. Why bother with the risk of ending up with a locked down device? Besides, I'm not dragging you anywhere. You just like the feeling of being the victim. Get a grip already!

Well see I know that lg lock some device's I have had a few lg device's g3,g4,gflex2 and now just made a MISSILE out of the g4 because sick of being told that there may be a unlocking available for the g4. I all so sick of people saying that the only root for g4 is root injection it would not work for me so now only got my gflex 2. So very soon I will look at the g4 again now knowing what I need to look for.
The way I see it with out boot loader unlocking there is no root for the g4........ok ranting over good night

Well the root works really well, though you have to be using L. Even xposed works with flash fire, so really its not a big deal. If they at least root M I will be even happier.
Of course unlocked bootloader would be ideal but I am happy with root.

Well the root works really well, though you have to be using L. Even xposed works with flash fire, so really its not a big deal. If they at least root M I will be even happier.

Why do you assume I don't know about custom roms? I do know a lot and tried many of them on different devices. Some are great some are buggy.
Truth is LG rom is very stable and with root, exposed, launcher I can get it very close to pure android experience. So root is still very important.
Don't get me wrong, I still want an unlcoked bootloader.
Unlocked bootloader will extend the life of the device.
