am i able to go from gingerblur to a rom on gingerbread? without having to update to gingerbread because i don't completely know how to do that from the root. but is it possible to just flash a new rom with system recovery?
You need to be on gingerbread with cwm and unlocked bootloader or you will trash your phone.

So I am rooted on gingerbread 2.3.4 using Pete's root tool. My question is do I have to be unlocked to install the Alien Rom I do have a CWM mod but its not the newest because from what here you have to be unlocked to install that as well
Yes you need to unlock

Yes you have to have an unlocked bootloader to load the newer roms on your phone

Thanks for the info and that sucks things were easier before I updated to gingerbread. Ok so if I unlock my bootloader and something goes wrong down the road can I restore it back to factory so it can be sent in for repairs
Hi,
I want to unlock the bootloader, but in the n00b guide everything is for 2.3.4
I am in 2.2.2 (4.2.11.retail.en.FR) and I tried to update in the settings but it told me that my device is updated.
So, how can i update to 2.3.4? I want to updated with the Stock Gingerbread Rom via fastboot. But i need to have the bootloader unlocked....
How can I do it?
Thank you
You should be able to flash any sbf. Seeing as how the only way you brick is by going backwards. Look on that forum again and there is a link to a seperate website which will tell you how to do it on either version.

Hi I recently bought the sony ericsson WT19i (Live), now I want to flash cyanogenmod but i don't know how. I read something about unlocking bootloader bu I can only find tutorials for Xperia range phone's also is there a way to backup my current ROM and EFS partition?.
I have alot of expirience with android so just some links should do.
Also is there a way to Re-Lock the bootloader?
You must unlock bootloader first. Then flash custom rom, and install cm using update zip.

Thanks but unlocking avoids warranty and no official updates. Is it worth it?
From what i understand with a locked bootloader you cant boot into recovery, right?

Ssory my english is bad. I am russian user.
With unlocked bootloder you can not oficially update you device.
You can install cwm to locked stok rom and boot into recovery.
Unlock bootloader only need to flash modded kernel.
after unlocking you can lock bootloader. Drm key's not restore

Hey there guys!
i know there are many how to threads aabout unlocking bootloader but i dont want to get back to stock and all that stuff.

This should be Q & A,please move.

Yes, i believe it's possible with the latest version of flashtool (+ update).
The safest way though, is to revert to stock (do a backup of your current rom&setup of course) then perform the unlock.

Alright alright.
But,if i backup my current rom (which is for LB) then unlock my BL and then restore my backup of my LB Rom,i will have a Rom for LB on my phone with ULBL.

Hi , I have a locked bootloader and rooted my phone and then I installed CWM but now when I flash a rom I don't have root anymore?
Could somebody help me or isn't this possible?
ty xd
The rom you flashed didn't contain a pre rooted kernel. You need to root again or flash a pre rooted kernel on that new rom. More info can be found on the dev sections pinned posts. I'm not sure what a locked bootloader allows tho...
