hi i see ARC have ClockworkMod Recovery but we dont have ClockworkMod Recovery for WT19i or Sk17i any one can help me port for it ?
The main probs is we have to unlock bootloader to mod kernel or do with fastboot
Anyone can bypass it to load the kernel without verify ?
301 posts and still you post in the wrong section.
I think CWM is build in on the insecure stock kernels. I might be wrong.... Else you have to wait for someone to fix it.

Now begin with me !
The problem is, the new xperia series doesn't have separate boot block.
There are 2 ways NOW to run CWM and CFW on our devices.
1. Built inside the kernel
2. Hotboot to CWM with fastboot...
These 2 ways requires unlocked bootloader and working fastboot; so we have to wait for someone who bypasses the bootloader security on sim locked and branded phones
So...
1.: if I modify the kernel, the bootloader decline it, and unable to boot.
2.: Fastboot don't enabled in branded phones.

How do you download the bootloader?

This made my day. You dont download a bootloader. I would reccomend you do some RTFM and understand what is what in an android device and how it works.
Bootloader is somewhat like the BIOS on computers. If you can unlock it you can have custom ROMs on it. If not, you have to pay to get it unlocked.
you can get the cwm plus the bravia engine for the WT19 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346190
the cwm doesn't show up in the apps menu, you can access it by restarting the devise and keeping clicking it the volume down button.

Hello, everybody!
Guess what? the_laster had make a tool to restore the bootloader.
I found this here
It's a new s1tool. Download here View attachment s1tool.7z
So we can unlock the bootloader ,and restore it anytime we want.
Now we can do everything we want and without worry.
One more thing, after restore the bootloader our customer kernel will not boot,so you have to use the stock kernel.
Cheer!!!
And thanks to all great men here!!!
Edit:
It's useless for you unless you want to relock the bootloader.
After SpyderX add this to his thread,I think this thread should be closed(or deleted).

yeah It's very easy. I'm sorry if I opened a useless thread.
The topic '[how to] restore original bootloader after unlock' is named by the_laster.
I just copy it.
Never mind, good work finding this. I will add it to my thread. Thanks!
why we need to restore the original boot loader ???

It's not because we need. JUST WE CAN!!
Maybe sometimes we want to try SE' fully stock X8.
for warranty maybe
i think , because right now when we need to try rom must flash 1 package kernel and rom.
so if we want to use rom (old rom that there is not 1 package with custom kernel)
we need original kernel to use rom ex : GDX , GC and the others.
the point is we still wait stable custom kernel + rom.
correct me if i'm wrong.
whit this tool ,the x8 unlocked turn into locked phone?
sorry for english
Closed as per OP request.
hi i am a new user of xperia neo.....in my device bootloader unlock allowed says NO...now can anyone help me to unlock my bootloader ???? plzz someone help me ,which method i can use to unlock bootloader....and if my bootloader is lock can i use recovery mode on my device ????
Please read the stickies before posting.
Boot loader unlock no= no fast boot so you cannot flash custom kernels, but you can flash all stock ones including ics.
You can still root and install cwm, this will allow you to flash any rom for locked boot loader.

Actually no you can just read the stickies, you are going to murder your phone, you cannot downgrade to 2.3.3 you'll get the 0% battery issue.
Why people start messing with things without research I don't know.
Do your self a favor and read the stickies before you try anything else you will find the right way to root

Hi all,
This forum does not look so active as the one i came from (Xperia X10) so i'm forced to open this thread in hopes that more people will see it and be able to help me...
So the situation is very simple:
1. I am on newest ICS 6.1.1.B.1.54 - which apparently can not be rooted yet
2. My bootloader is locked and can not be unlocked (it says bootloader unlockable: NO (and i can not continue the process))
If there are no solutions currently for my situation then i would just like to ask:
3. Is there some way that i can get some options when i open the notification bar? like wifi/screen rotation etc. It is what i miss the most on this stock ICS rom.
MY IDEA for a solution to:
1. is it safe/possible to use flashtool and flash for example LT22i - 6.1.B.0.544 -Central Europe - ICS? Then root and install CWM and then custom rom for locked BL
2. i have no idea but apparently the official repair shop can change the NO to YES - if so, can i do it somehow myself?
3. no idea...
Any comment would be appreciated, even if nothing can be done, please someone who has knowledge about this...help

use notification toggles or powerful control to get toggles in notification bar....

I flashed this and is working quite well. No problems so far.
Flashing is also safe with locked bootloader. I've been flashing like crazy since I rooted my phone 4 days ago.
Just do backups and follow instructions carefully.
hi all
new from samsung to sony.
just curious, is it the only way you guys used to root or re-root xperia devices after updates with vroot, tools from DooMLoRD etc? i mean except those mentioned, nobody use other alternatives to root xperia devices (in general, not z tablet only)?
and thus if these tools are not compatible with new firmwares then u r not able to root your device in case the previous root was removed?

You can open the bootloader and then you will always be able to root (flash custom recovery, root, flash stock kernel).

Then I guess you can only root with the exploits and need to be careful about upgrades.
Is it possible to downgrade with Flashtool on locked BL? I think it is (but it's confusing). If it is then you need to keep FTF of the current version in case you upgrade to a new version that can not be rooted.

for rooting, i am fine. just have to get rid of the bl and adb issue in recovery first
Bla Bla:
I have recently bought this device. The hardware seems to be all nice but software, not so good. There are tons of improvements that need to be done on the software end. I have been waiting for someone else to take an initiative up until now, but it seems everyone else has been doing the same thing and as the device is new int he market, the XDA Threads have been practically dead and they are going to stay like that if noone starts working. So, lets tickle this lady.
What We Need:
Its obvious, but I will state that anyway.
Root and Recovery
Locked Bootloader
Unlocked Bootloader
Kernel
Repacked (With Custom Ramdisk including Recovery, Disable RIC, Insecure ADB, A few Tweaks, etc.)
Compiled (Need sources for that, so lets put this on hold for now)
ROM
Stock (Rooted, Recovery, Tweaked, Optmized, Debloated, Deodexed)
Custom (Something Like This)
Progress:
Obviously, it must be a Top to Bottom approach, but I am an idiot, so, I am following Bottom to Top, actually because thats my forte and I need help with others.
Root and Recovery
Locked
Unlocked
Kernel
Repacked
Compiled
ROM
Stock (Done)
Custom (Halfway Done)
So, folks lets join hands together and start this thing. I welcome all Developers, Beginners, Contributors, Reviewers, Haters, Bullies, Killers, simply anyone and everyone who is willing to help.
I am so happy to see someone actually do custom ROM for this device. I love Sony and I love this phone so much !
Finally there is hope coming.
Thank you so much for developing here......:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
I am building for the xperia c4. May I ask where you unlocked the bootloader? Because as far as i remember, you need to unlock the loader for a custom recovery on sony phones. Right?
So far for me the main issue with this phone is high ram usage despite having very few apps installed. Even when closing all apps after use free ram is between 500-600mb. At times ram is under 500mb free and nothing is open.
Ram management is quite an important aspect which needs improvement...
There is also a slight delay when waking the device for some reason...
Also it would be great if we can get stereo speakers working on the device. The upper earpiece is fairly large and should give us decent sound to go with the lower speaker...

Unlocking bootloader isnt always necessarry... If you have root you sometimes can hack the init process... For example look at Xperia L recovery for locked bootloader...
Its mostly something like store the recovery ramdisk as a img file in internal storage... And while init process it gets unpacked and replaces ramdisk
