bootloader locked and custom rom

[Zeok]

i fixed my phone today and try unlocking it,
i rooted it with towelroot, and even putted recovery, but the bootloader is locked, and flashtool tells me there is no offciail way to unlock it,
can i unlock it?
(my ultimate goal is to install a custom rom on it and flash puresound, so my question is, can i install a rom, without bricking my device, with my locked bootloader)

Dial *#*#7378423#*#* and go to service info / configurations / rooting status and if it's saying Bootloader unlock allowed YES so you can unlock your bootloader and if NO so you can't
If the ROM you are trying to install is stock based so you can install it without unlocking
But the custom ROMs need custom kernel and the custom kernel need unlocked bootloader so you can't keep it locked while you running custom ROM because that will brick your device for sure

Its says no. Is there any way at all to unlock it?
Like talking to Sony services or something
I bought it second hand

And tnx for the explanation it helped me understand what bootloader is, I'm new to Sony devices I had Samsung until now

There is no way to unlock it sadly, going to sony wont serve any purpose.

Sorry bro @androidfreak70
I correct you because you give not good info, he can install a custom rom based on stock with a locked bootloader so he dont need to unlock it, he needs only to unlock it if he wanna install a CM/PAC or OASP Roms because those roms needs an unlocked bootloader and not the custom stock based roms like Excistinz/MoonWalker or Ulitmate Pure etc !

Can u give me link to custom Roms based on stock..?

Dont be lazy @Zeok
Check the Xperia Z Android Development abd check the title for [LB/UB] That means for Locked abd Unlocked Bootloader.

Similar question

Hey guys i'm new here, and I don't want to hijack this thread but my question is almost the exact same, I've got the xperia Z c6606, rooted on towel root, I know i can flash roms based on the stock kernel, I was looking at Ihackers rom for the xperia z, it says it will work with locked or unlocked bootloader but in the devices it says it will only work with two other devices, I forget which, c6602 and c6603 I think, sorry if I'm wrong, I'm just curious on where I stand, I just don't want to brick the phone, and the information conflicts.

Maybe you should ask this in the ROM thread. I'm not sure what to answer
