Xperia Z- Trying to flash Custom Recovery with Locked Bootloader.

[PhantomUser2002]

Hi everybody!

I recently got new phone- Xperia Z. I wanted to unlock bootloader first, but the problem was that carrier on it (The Phone is from France SFR if somebody know) blocked chance for unlocking it. So I rooted my phone and tried to flash TWRP through Flashify. This one didn't work, it said "Partition Not Found". Then I founded this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...cked-bootloader-cwm-recovery-6-0-2-8-t2187363 but link is dead -_-. So can anybody please help me flashing Custom Recovery? I mean I know that there is not a lot of ROMs that support's locked bootloader, but I found this MIUI 8 Android M Custom which I would love to install.


I would really, really, really appreciate any help!
Thanks in Advance.

Btw. Sorry for bad English...still learning it

My advice-stick to the stock. You just got your phone and you are trying to install new rom? That's nonsense for me. Stick to the stock, root your phone(You already did) and enjoy your phone unless you want to fu*k up something. Grettings

But I always do that heh. When Galaxy Ace 2 was new, first what I did is to install KitKat for it. When I got Galaxy SIII i installed CM12. So I would love to have Custom ROM on my Xperia Z.

EDIT: I might be young, but I know what I want to do

Since removing my Simlock and flashing generic stock firmware onto my phone using Flashtool, It says I can now unlock my bootloader. If the firmware you are looking at says it is ok to use with locked bootloader then could you just flash it using Flashtool?

How about this https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/z-xzdualrecovery-qa-t2477769 ?
This is my first recovery back then when my Z still locked.

While trying to "Install Recovery" option, it says:
Remounting system (RW)
Remount system failed!

and it stops.

Would it work, If I would install KitKat Firmware and try XZRecovery from it?
