Simple answer, it's yes. And it will delete all of your data, so be sure to back up everything.
1: Download the nexus 7 root toolkit here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
2: Select your model
3: Select unlock bootloader, just follow the instructions on screen

Hello everyone, I would like to have some help about installing custom roms on x10 devices...
Being honest the one who has the problem is my friend, he's in México using a Telcel Xperia X10, and we did all the steps for rooting the phone and so on.
The phone has already superuser and xrecovery, but when we try to put custom roms for locked bootloader always obtain the same line "Installation aborted". Of course we follow the threads abouts roms but nothing....
I don't know why this mistake?? Did anyone have the same problem??
The phone: Android 2.3.3, baseband 2.1.71, compilation 3.0.1.G.0.75....
FlashTool_0.2.9.1
Trying to install XSP rom for locked bootloader
Please if someone has a solution I would appreciate it so much or send me a PM...
Thanks.....

Hello , I guess you are getting the error because you are using rom.zip for unlocked bootloaders . Make sure you are using the correct zip file .
Or else you can unlock the device via latest flashtool (Flashtool in X10i developement section) then proceed with installation . It should work .

I'm very sure that the rom I'm trying to install is for locked bootloader even unlock the boot wasn't a solution...
i think you can check the information book first, to make all things right, if can not find it, try internet.
You can find all useful things through this, then make your phone good, Good luck.

Follow the link he posted.... did you try even?
Yap and failed + tried oneclick root, still nothing
Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app
unlock the phone from T-Mobile first using the following method
http://sim-unlock.net/simlock/Sony/Xperia_Z1/
then try again
The 14.1.G.2.257 Firmware is still not "directly" rootable with a tool.
You just have the possibility to downgrade on .534/.518 and use the already posted root instructions.
Either on an OTA Update to 14.1.G.2.257 you will keep rootaccess. To the newest firmware (.290) the OTA Update will not preserve full rootaccess -> only with ULBL you can root the latest one.
But be warned! MAKE AN TA-BACKUP before unlocking the bootloader.
Regards,
meet
EDIT: @Morlock O
The SIMlock does not point any issues on flashing ftf files or rooting the phone....
Hi guys. Bought a note 4 today, and it was rooted by a friend of mine using chainfire's method.
My question is, can you flash twrp or a rom without unlocking the bootloader, or is the bootloader not an issue and u don't have to mess with it?

hi ,
i have a N910F Note 4 ( Snapdragon ) i have used CF auto root by Chainfire , and flashed CWM recovery (as TWRP is not "configured" for N910F , only for Tmobile ,Sprint and i see now for Canadian models ) No need to touch Bootloader .I believe some Note 4 models( ? not sure which ) may have locked Bootloaders .
So make sure before you do anything,what your model no is etc .etc
Good luck

Hi guys I have found an easier method to root 5.1.1 (By accident )
steps
1)flash the ftf 23.4.A.0.546 based upon you device version(d6503 or d6502)
2)Download the latest custom kernel of Androplus(v62 recommended)
3)copy the same into your phone (.zip)
4)flash the boot image from the zip in fastboot to get recovery then install the zip copied earlier
5)download suView attachment UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
6)install the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46 in recovery and congrats you just got your phone rooted
I did test the same,got my D6502 version rooted:angel:
Credits
Androplus for his awesome kernel
give a thumps u if your problem is solved
This is useful only to those who have their bootloader unlocked...
Plus this method is not new... It has been around for quite some time
If you're rooted on previous version, you can make a backup of your TA partition, then do OP steps, then flash stock kernel, and restore TA... Easy

I just found the same as all the methods to root 5.1.1 found to be quiet complex
so this one may prove to be much simpler root method at present time.
Thanks working Xperia z2 D6503 Android 5.1.1 23.4.A.0.546 open bootloader. fast and easy [emoji106]

Sorry, I am just a newbie in this.
I just wanted to know how can I flash the kernal? If you could explain the procedure
Secondly, in serviceinfo>configuration - it says 'Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes'
That means my Bootloader is unlocked, right?

I am rooted right now.
I just downgraded, unchecked the data, appdata and cache and flashed the kitkat rom but it caused bootloop, I flashed again and wiped all the data and cache in the flashtool and it worked.
Rooted, installed recovery and flashed the pre-rooted file from recovery.

It means it can be unlocked.you will have to unlock it to you the
But let me warn you that you will loose the drm files ie camera quality loss and xreality and all.....try other root method if you don't want to unlock...

Please mention For unlocked bootloader in your thread name.. New people will get confused and may try to flash kernel on locked BL and get bricked. You can root or do whatever you want if you have unlocked BL.. Nothing accidental..
Hi
How about root for z1 5.1.1?

Hi there. You need to flash a custom recovery on your phone which will unlock the bootloader and root it as well. Search in XDA for the custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) for your model and follow the tutorial to install it.
Report back if any issues.
All the best!
