In order to move to a new firmware version you need a compatible kernel. So the need for a kernel exists for that specifically

I think he means more along the lines of android 2.3 apps running under a 2.2 kernel. This has already been proven to be possible from phones like the Droid X and Milestone which are both running 2.3 using their older 2.2 kernels.
Yea. I thought people were running 2.3 on x already and they also have a locked bootloader.

Hey everyone,
I did the AT&T stock OTA upgrade to 2.3.4 on my ATRIX.
Will I still be able to load custom roms at a later date? Say when CM7 comes out =)
Or did I just stuck myself into AT&T bloatwareland?
You will need an unlocked bootloader to install ROM's such as CM7.
Lol, I think your question should be... Will cm7 ever come out?

lol dunno
i bought my atrix off of ebay, rooted and unlocked the bootloader, then messed up with gingerblur. maybe it was because i had the lastest updates installed on the atrix?

You were supposed to flash through the system recovery app's recovery, but anyways back to your question. If you follow directions on how to do things im sure you'll be fine off, as of now the only way to hardbrick is to sbf back when you have the ota installed,

Are you sure that your old atrix is hardbricked? Sounds like it would be more of a softbrick unless your old atrix had Gingerbread. Eitherway, it sounds fixable.

Yes, it will cause a ram issue.. But it can be patched by flashing a cmw file. I forget what thread its in.. But NFHimself made a cwm flashable file that fixes up the ram issue.

Hi, I came from the Motorola bravo and now I have the x10a. I noticed things are a lot different here from there. I want to install a custom Rom but keep my bootloader locked. Is that possible? And also what Rom would you recommend for stability and speed? How do you overlook on the stock Rom? Sorry for all the questions, xperia is so much different from Motorola so I want to make sure my phone doesnt get bricked.

Hello and welcome to x10 xda. Yes, you can flash locked bootloader ROMs as long as you updated latest 2.3.3official GB from sony pc companion, to get compatible baseband for most roms. Then, get your 2.3.3 rooted and installed xrecovery. Last is, download you desired ROM.zip and updates. Remember visit their thread and follow instruction properly.
If you are newcomer for rooting x10/flashing, you may visit my signature link for pdf guides. Although older version, but more stable and reliable and higher success to failure ratio.
For recommending awesome and smooth Roms for locked bootloader, try donutHD 2.2.8jelly bean. Its the best now for locked and unlocked bootloader. I got link too in my signature.
All the best

Thank you for your help. You are very much appreciated

Hey, I recommend you to use any stock based rom you like, they are very different.
As for speed there are kernel's for locked BL, I'v used doomkernel v6.
Also i just unlocked my BL yesterday and its like a new phone. really recommended. (Im on FXP129 CM7 )

can't unlock bootloader running 2.3.5, which prevents you from flashing any "unlocked" rom.. ie jb,ics, or any other rom not based on 235
