Hi!
I would like to start experimenting with my Xperia S (currently with the latest stock ROM). I rooted the smartphone, made backup of the DRM keys and unlocked the bootloader. I would like to have, just in case, the stock kernel of the Xperia. Is anyone who can share it?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Ok, i understand that ICS is just not good for gaming. I have a R800ì root LOCKED BOOTLOADER. Can i still do some flashinf roms, etc etc? I'm new in these things, but i think it's time for me to begin. If i want to keep my bootloader blocked, what can i flash? Is it possible to flash Xperia NXT 1.2 rom, DIxperia 2 rom, TrueAncestor rom, etc etc?
And most important. BEFORE i do anything, is there a way to back up everything EXACTLY as it was, so i can go back to my stock 2.3.4? Thank u for your time guys:good:
Hi, assuming you are rooted, yes you can install some rom that are compatible with locked loaders. The ones you mentioned are all compatible, provided you flash the specific fw that's indicated in each of those rom
You can do a nandroid backup to backup your current rom exactly like it is right now, with cwm. Just download x parts from the market

Thank you, exactly what i needed to hear. Another queations though. Since it 's my understanding that for those roms i also need to change differents firmware (i have stock. 42 now), i would like to know if a nandroid backup include my original firmware (.42).
Ansother thing: with a locked bootloader what i cannot do? Change kernels?
My favorite so far is Gin2JellyBean 1.8.1, i still have my bootloader locked, it has some bugs like weird looking home screen when it's in landscape mode but still very smooth and great looking :silly:

Also, i see that sometimes for installaing a rom, changing kernerl is required. But can i change kernel with locked bootloaader?
With a LB hoy cannot install custom kernels, only flash official released ones. Some roms are also compatible With LB

"Always working" method is flash 6.1.A.2.50 with Flashtool (without wiping anything, except if you wish) and root with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Rooting itself is done in 5 minutes. Flashing? Also 5 mins.
6.1.A.2.55 firmware is not rootable, you can just flash prerooted .55 rom in CWM, but for that you still need rooted .50.
Hi,
I just received my first smartphone and am really excited about it Aaaand ... I'm totally new to Android and the whole rooting & Custom firmware process
I want to root to Backup my TA before unlocking BL and was looking at zxz0O0's guide. There are now quite a few versions of the z1c dual recovery from NUT. I am on Android 4.3. Can I simply use the latest version?
Thanks a lot!
latest version is appropriate 2.7.99 (not tried it yet) as I rooted mine before KK came using 2.7.95
perfect, thanks for the information. Will give it a try and hope not to brick anything

I think it's safe to say that version 2.7.97 does not properly work so make sure to not use that version.
Hi guys, I just got my hands on a Xperia ZL... it's quite neat! But I wish I could install CM or a custom rom on it. Ok, I tried to check the bootloader and it states:
Rooting status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: no

Is it really locked?? I wanted to unlock it to change to a diferent phone career (which now is not really a problem), but now it seems I won't be able to install a custom rom can it be done? Do I need to specify any other characteristic in here?

Like 3 year olds say... " no means NO!" lol
Unfortunately you are S.O.L for unlocking the BL
Damn, I haven't done anything to this device! I don't understand why it is locked like that Some guy wants to charge me for doing it (I bet he will try to get one of those unlock codes from unlocking sites), but then I think it will be impossible. Thanks for the help!

No problem!
One good thing is that you can flash stock based Rom's, and we have one of the best out there in Niaboc's ExistenZ Rom.
Flash that Rom, and used the xposed modules, and you can manipulate it to your liking just as much as aosp or CM roms.
Especially xposed modules like "HK Themer" let you install CM themes to stock roms!
Give it a shot! ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385313
