I am not allowed to post on MoKee thread so I will post my question here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2761807
I am not a newbie and have been following XDA for 6 different devices and more than 5 years. But I just didn't post enough.
I am currently on SONY Xperia ZR (C5502) 4.4.2 (rooted). I have been trying to flash MoKee 4.4x for the past few weeks but in vain. I bricked my device few time already by trying and have to revital it with all kind of tools (Flashtool, Sony Update Service, fastboot).
I guess now my question is - "Does MoKee ROM requires Unlock Bootloader?" In the last post of that thread, someone said that it MUST be Unlock Bootloader. Is that true? The only reason I care so much about this is because I screwed up my device every time I unlocked it.
I was using the "fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY" method.
I am currently using 10.5.A.0.230.
Your answer will be really appreciated.

Yes just like any other rom out there you will need an unlocked bootloader. The reason is because you have to flash a custom recovery such as CWM and to do that you need to unlock your bootloader. I recommend unlocking you bootloader using flashtool instead of the command. Because it is just easier. When I was trying to unlock my bootloader I experienced problems doing it the way with the cmd. And what problems does it give you after unlocking and how does it screw your device? Thanks!!
PS: Try flashing a custom recovery because maybe your bootloader is already unlocked.:good:

I have installed -=[XZDualRecovery]=- with locked bootloader, so I don't think the reason is about the flashing of the recovery, maybe is something related with kernel flashing. but I'm not sure.

maybe but I wasnt able to write the boot.img unless I unlocked my bootloader.
confirmed that it REQUIRES Unlock Bootloader to install MoKee

Thanks for the advise from gurinderhans
Yes, I have confirmed that it REQUIRES Unlock Bootloader to install MoKee.
I unlocked my bootloader with Flashtool this time, instead of commend line this time. That fixed the problem I used to have.
But I used the CWM comes with XZDualRecovery to install MoKee 4.4.4. It works out fine.

Good to know everything worked out fine.
Any custom rom requires boot loader unlock.
Hi!
I've been given a few steps on how to root, flash a recovery and backup TA on my Xperia Z1 (steps are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/help/q-root-ta-backup-custom-recovery-help-t3143388 in the second post). My question is if I have to do something special to unlock the bootloader or just follow those 3 steps (1- root, 2 - flash a recovery, 3 - backup TA) and just then wipe the phone and flash a CM12.1 from the recovery? Or how can I unlock the bootloader and flash the CM12.1 on Sony Xperia Z1 (Honami)?
EDIT: !!! I found out that my Xperia Z1 says Unlock bootloader allowed: NO ! What can I do? Please?
Thank you for all of your answers!
I'm in the same boat and I have scoured the net for months and have found no solution, software or hardware or otherwise. I think we are SOL
what if we try to install custom recovery on a locked bootloader..??
is there any way to unlock bootloader without using computer..?
please reply soon
lots of thanks
it's impossible to install custom recovery on locked boot-loader , try googling before posting any questions here friend
You can't do that my friend
