Sony has listened the scream of the vocal minority that demand a full control over what software should be running on their devices, not just what have been specifically designed by the manufacturer for their devices.
When our device's bootloader is unlocked then we can flash the custom ROM, that's the reason we root our device, to grab any decent ROM running on to replace the stock firmware. And it's only possible if the phone's bootloader is unlocked. So leave the though of picking the best modified ROM behind if your bootloader is still locked.
Notes.
- This activity is not for a standard user, Sonny recommends you to not apply this as the company has provided great software experiences that have underwent the rigorously tests before they are officially released.
- Your warranty may be voided. Both warranty from Sony and operators can be nullified by performing the unlock bootloader activity. Therefore you may be charged a significant fee for the service you need in the future.
- Risks. You might end up bricking your phone if your decision to unlock its bootloader to flash a custom ROM to your phone, as this kind of ROM may not gone through the series of tests there is a chance you will turn your phone into a brick.
- Before performing the bootloader unlock process, it's highly recommended for you to perform a complete backup over your system as the bootloader unlocking process will trigger the factory reset to which wipe out all device settings, users data, third party apps and other associated data stored in the hardware storage of your device.
And more thing do not forget to make a necessary backup over your data.
