The ftf tut part is for people who only wants to flash the firmware via flashtool.
If you're done flashing the pre-rooted zip the u're good to go!

Hi there, Thank you for sharing this rom. My phone is on locked bootloader, I just flashed the ftf file last night. It is great fix the charging problem. But I did not get the root and recovery. Do you need flash the recovery img file? I tried but it failed.

Flashing the ftf doesn't give you root for that u should have flashed the zip file via recovery.
If you want root,follow the steps posted on the comment #56

I have C6603 version 10.3.1.A.2.67 Generic UK
Rooted, dualrecovery installed (with locked Bootloader)
After wipe data, davik ( not wipe system ) i flash the zip and skip the step: advanced kernel.
The phone booting but:
- DualRecovery LED not showing up, normally it's green led appears then i can choose vol up or down for Rcvry (It's seem I have lost all recovery)
- shown up SONY & ANDROID (or Xperia) for about 5~10sec then restart again...

I reflashed ver.10.3.1.A.2.67 to continued using till this problem solved.

Since you are coming from kitkat you have to do a full wipe meaning wipe the system too.

Yes it does.All i did on this rom is root it and install recovery,nothing else

I'm using 4.2.2 JellyBean, 10.3.1.A.2.67 Generic UK
Do i have to update to 4.4.4 or 5.02 before install this?
I know what to do with flashtool, fastboot, zip, root, ftf, bootloader, TA,...
I'm advanced Xperia-2011 user!

How to know wether bootlader is unlocled or not

 

[cdou2391]

How to know wether bootlader is unlocled or not

Dial *#*#7378423#*#*
Then click on Service info then Configuration.
If it's like on the screenshot then your Bootloader is locked and it can be unlocked if you want to

Yea, i got the phone only shown up Sony logo (Xperia or Adroid logo in the bottom, i forgot) shown up for about 5 to 10 secs then restart, no Recoveries LED, can't be reached I think, so i can install this rom when i'm in Android version 4.2.2?

To @naren9
Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes (your bootloader still in lock state)
Bootloader unlocked : Yes ( you bootloader in unlocked state)

Yes it's possible.
But it's recommended to flash via flashtool the 5.0.2 firmware,root it,install recovery then flash the 5.1.1 zip
Check the post #56. I listed the steps how to do that

seems like you tried already unlocking bootlock... how did you unlock? did u follow procedure at developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader ? also if u forgot to deactivate the "My Xperia" ? check what is the status of My Xperia Theft protection? reactivate it and reboot and check again.
