Nah, that's pretty much it.
Does that mean we could dual boot with windows

download z4root
write z4root.apk at google , there will be results
Use gingerbreak. z4root doesn't work past 2.2
I tried both of them but they don't seem to be working

Well downloading the zip on phone sometimes cause problems with recovery
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
But it is only possible to set a custom recovery after rooting right?

The status said bootloader unlocked allowed:No
Does that man I can't unlock the bootloader at all?
Or there is a way to do it? Thanks for any help

It is possible, you have to wait for the Sony s1 signature server to come back online. Google it. There are other threads with more info.
Cheers,

You'll love being unlocked and all the custom ROM choices you now have. Congrats.
So, I'm kinda lost.. It as been a while, since I have used my live with walkman and now I see roms saying "unlocked/locked".. Afaik, to install a custom rom, we need unlocked bootloader, right? Can we now install custom roms, without unlocked bootloader, or locked means another thing? Thanks..
Edit - god, I'm so dumb.. I was thinking on other things, plz mods remove this topic..
P.s. - sorry my bad english
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
Yes you can, As Long the ROM has Locked Bootloader Support you can flash it

Well You Can't Flash That ROM on Locked Bootloader because it only Support the Unlocked Bootloader.
You Will have to Unlock Your Bootloader first. After you unlocked your bootloader then Flash a JB kernel (MESA 2.3 or any others)
Sent from my ST15i using xda premium
Buh, nevermind.. I can't install roms with bootloader locked, above the ones sony gives support, because of the kernel.. So, no jb without unlocked bootloader..
Thanks anyway..
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
Yes, no jb. But here are some roms, supporting locked bootloader. Many stock based roms and some MIUI
