Sorry if this is a silly question, I have been looking through the ROM forums and am a little confused.
Is it possible to use any 4.42 or 4.43 roms with a locked bootloader?
Thanks in advance

As far as I know, it is not possible. This is because it is required to change the Kernel to use these versions of android. You can enjoy many of the locked bootloader ROM's, some of them are pretty good.
Thank you for the reply
So I presume no Kitkat for my phone?

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.
Im running a completely stock sprint gs3, it has 4.3 with knox. I want to root so I can then install a new rom. Probably cyanogen mod...but I'm open to suggestions. I know there can be issues with rooting when knox is on the phone. I have searched and found too many conflicting answers and bricking my phone isnt an option. Any help and guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

That depends on your setup....you can simply flash any 4.4.2 Based ROM in Development PREVIEW by team d3rp or Team 420's OpTimuS, but you will need to make sure that you have the KK based modem....found in Autoprime's thread. The instructions for everything are the threads....That's all I got.

Typically, questions are not posted in the development section, this is something that could have simply been searched for, even from a phone...There are different sections to the Sprint G2...<<<---this is a link!!!

Again, you have failed to clearly state what you mean by, "unlocked", which also is the main reason why you're still over here asking questions in the wrong section of the forum...
The link provided to you is the latest Official Sprint release Stock and Rooted...direct questions regarding that ROM to that specific thread.

If I avoid all of the reply you gave me was because all does threats you post, was for CUSTOM roms where you have to root and instal no official things on your phone.....What I need is CLEAN OFFICIAL STOCK FIRMWARES. Thats what I am asking for.
No offense but he was trying to help you stating that you're in the wrong section of the forums to ask this. He directed you to where you could go to ask these things and even offered an alternative. Quite frankly he went above and beyond to help you considering this section is only for custom ROM development. You should direct yourself over to the Q&A section of the forum for these things where you'll get whatever help it is you're seeking which sounds like what you need is to just use the latest .tot and call it a day. I'm going to report this thread to have it moved. It really doesn't belong in this section dude.

You shouldn't have any problem... All Hardware is the same between both units and I have run Roms for AT&T and non-AT&T, CM, Slim, and stock (TW)... all Roms were compatible. Right now my SGH-I467M is showing as a GT-N5120, running 4.4.2 on CivZ Flexburst KK... Only difference may be the modem, which might be more region specific for CSC.
