I just bought this phone today but its full of bloat from Claro and Telcel, id like to know if theres a rom that i can download that have only stock sony apps without all that bloat like the samsung phones, or if theres a debloat script to remove it all, cause right now the only way i see to debloat a bit is by rooting and removing manually the apps myself :(

Try XperiFirm or search Android File Host for H3223. Use H3223_Customized...... or H3223_Commercial and Journalists or H3223_Service Exchange Unit. These have the least amount of bloat.

Just checked Android File Host, there are only older firmwares below 5.59. XperiFirm have only one 5.59 - Commercial and Journalists. You can use this one.

I just checked XperiFirm, theres Comercial and Journalists and Customized US on 5.59, but custom at the end says R8A and comercial says R1A, whats the diference? should i still download Comercial and Journalists?

To be honest, i do not know the difference. Maybe some of the more experienced users can tell you.

You can use Newflasher here on XDA. Download it, unpack to a new directory, copy all firmware files and the boot directory to this directory, connect your phone in Download Mode and run Newflasher as admin. Answer "n" two times and wait a bit...

why? :( is there a way to at least remove the anoying black screen asking me to relock bootloader when i start my phone after a full shutdown?
Nope. Sony do not allow re-locking bootloader. The black screen is in the kernel. You can try build your own kernel from sources with Sony Open Devices Program, but even then i am not sure you can remove the black screen.
