(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); hello, all i have a xperia miro on ice cream sandwhich the latest and i want jelly bean on it is there any way i can just install it without boot loader or is there a program that will do it all for me at once? please help

When there isn't a official update from sony, you need to root your device and install a Costum Rom.

so does that mean i dont have to unlock the boot loader to do it? because i really dont
want to try unlock the boot loader as i may brick it.

Im sure unlocking the bootloader does allow custom roms to be installed. My one is locked so i installed an older stock rom so i could root it, i know you want to run the latest android but for me, i suggest staying on icecream, i was on 4.3 now on 4.2.2 so i could root and now my battery life is a lot longer than 4.3.

is that on ice cream sandwhich you are on i install a rom called gilmo and that allowed me to get the themes of jb and the way it acts.

4.2.2 and 4.3 are both jelly bean, the 4.2.2 had the root exploit. it wasn't really that hard to install and root.

have you got that 4.2.2 rom please ?

yes but i have the xperia z phone. ok so lets just make this clear. You have an Sony Xperia Miro that needs to be rooted, that correct? if it is ill get you the links to the firmware/root tool that you need.

ive rooted my xperia miro, the boot locker is still locked tho?

yea you got it. you dont need to unlock bootloader just stay on the stock rom, do not ever install custom roms they contain bugs and other software to steal your mobile number.
