Got root on latest L 5.1.1 Z2D6503 with this method

Hii
I just got my Z2 rooted with this method
I just followed the steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/guide-how-to-root-xperia-z2-android-5-1-t3253878
Just one question
My bootloader sayz unlock not allowed...
Can I now flash TWRP or not?
Or is it just that I can not flash kernels??
I dont understand what is diffrent with bootloader locked and unlocked
Mine as I have read is locked forever so I dont want to brick my device or something...
Some advice about such bootloaders and what I can NOT DO would help me to understand
Thanks in advance
EDIT 01:
I just have followed the link in that post where I have rooted the phone
And just got TWRP installed as my recovery
So just to let you guys know evan dual recovery works fine with L5.1.1.
Just to say I have LockedBootloader
So guys please advice me for further
What restrictions do I have with the LB in diffrence to Unlocked BL
Can I do exact the same flashing of things like they on unlocked BL or not?
What should I be carefull about
Please guy give some info

1- With locked bootloader
you can only flash sony stock based roms (you can flash miui rom as there is a version with sony stock base).
you cannot flash cyanogenmod or custom kernels and any other rom.not based on stock sony.
2- with Unlocked bootloader
You can flash any custom rom or kernel for xperia z2 including cyanogenmod.
But you will LOOSE your DRM keys if you unlock your bootloader which will degrade the camera quality and xreality engine...

You cant accidentally unlock your BL and if it says it cant be unlocked Im afraid it is locked forever. There is no any way to unlock it AFAIK. If you have root, which it looks like you do, you can install TWRP by downloading an app TWRP manager from the plat store, give it root permission and in Install section find your variant of Z2 and let it doo its thing. It will automatically flash recovery.img and reboot and thats it.
Now you can flash all [UB] as unlocked bootloader marked roms, but no custom kernels and AOSP ROMs.
In my experience, if you try to flash something for LB it will just produce an error and you can reboot your device normally without any changes.

Thanks guys !!!
No its all clear to me

[HELP] UPDATE 4.4.4 NK2 to 6.0.1 ?

Hello guys, hope you can help me out.
Im have an sm g900v S5 here in Argentina. It is not rooted but it is unlocked somehow (dont know exactly how because I bought it that way). Now, Id like to update to 6.0.1 if possible without losing this condition, I mean, Ill still need to use it in Argentina so I have to make sure it wont be re-locked to Verizon.
Should I first downgrade to ni2 and root, and once rooted update to 6.0.1? In that case which guide should I follow to update from NI2 rooted to 6.0.1?
Any help will be much appreciated!!!
Best regards
Ignacio

I would rooting first then check to see if your phone is bootloader unlocked by going to download mode on your phone by turning off your device then holding the home button and power and volume down button at the same time
once your phone has a screen that says odin mode look for a line that says mode developer if you don't see developer your bootloader is locked to get out of odin mode pull out your battery then put it back in
if it is unlocked go to this guide other wise if it isn't unlocked search XDA for s5 verizon bootloader unlock and follow that guide then proceed to the guide below
If you want offial software without losing root or bootloader unlock I would recommend a mm custom rom such as

IF you want a custom rom cm13 is a popular mm ROM

Please help Relock Bootloader

Hi guys I have the retus Moto g5 plus
And I'm on NPNS25.137.35-35
I flashed TWRP and a few roms but would like to return to stock and Relock the boot loader the problem is I have reflashed the stock rom with NPNS25.137.35-35
And it works fine but the fastboot oem lock fails and says still requires signed boot or something like that.
Can anyone help or give me a step by step with commands to try ? Am I screwed because I installed TWRP ? I can learn to live with unlocked bootloader if I must but the OCD in me wants to lock it lol
Thanks for any help.

I was able to relock the bootloader should have searched the forum a little more before i posted thanks anyway

You cannot downgrade any stock ROM. Here in your built number extra S stands security patch and it not 35-35 its 35-5 (5 Indicated May security patch). If you want to come back on stock ROM with OTA updates then First install any Custom ROM on your device then Flash with Stock ROM Brazilian NPN25.137.15 (Indian Variant) Download from Firmware site and flash it using "fastboot oem lock" commands. Search for Installation of Custom Rom you will get it.

full brick moto g4

Hey guys, I have a moto g4 (Xt 1622) 2 days ago I have reflashed a rom.... but When I do the update to Android 7.0.1 There were an hard brick...I followed this link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/solved-unbrick-hard-bricked-dead-t3585016 But i have relocked my bootloader....so I don't have OS and I didn't activate "oem unlock"
Sorry for my bad English thanks a lot

Just to clarify:
What stock ROM did you use to re-lock your bootloader? Normally, you can only re-lock your bootloader by flashing and locking with stock firmware as new or newer than your bootloader, so I'm not entirely clear how you managed to hard brick with a locked bootloader (locked bootloaders generally require your device to be on the same firmware patch level).
Have you tried the blankflash here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-hardbrick-solved-guide-t3657761 You may have to try flashing with the September 2017 stock firmware here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
