Hi Guys n Gals.
So i just unlocked my bootloader, at least i believe so..(no sony text anymore)
But i used a fresh 2.3.3 stock rom to do it. Now i have 2 questions..
1) can i "restore" my Z's cm7 rom just as usual via recovery/will this affect (or be affected by) the bootloader unlock?
2) Can i continue with flashing/installing new roms etc.. just as before?
Sorry, but i don't know and searching gave me no clue!!!

Judging from what I read in the forums,
1) Yes
2) Yes.
The bootloader is PERMANENTLY unlocked,
nothing you could do can re-lock it.
So... happy flashing and restoring!! LOL!

So its safe to flash fps and audio fix by z right?
How about flashing kernel other than doom's(thjap, goro n other)

Ok, thank you for clarifying, 1 thing I realised is that it was permanent, I was just worried I might brick it with something!!

so far doom has come out with a kernel for unlocked BL... so I'd say its presumably safe to use atm. As for the rest custom kernels, please wait... we don't want a brick sitting in our hands now. Do we?!
You can do anything with your phones, exactly like before the unlock.
It will remain unlocked permanently.
You can flash all the zips in the world, the bootloader will still be unlocked.
I, for one, use goro's kernel at the moment, exactly as I did before.
My impression, we can treat the new ftf.kernels as directly replacing the original stock kernel. Therefor no need to use bypass at all. Can someone confirm this please?
Thanks.

I have started to tweak my stock rom, so far so good
can somebody tell me, if i want to take the "other" tweaks from here (Doomlords' "collection of tweaks")
Where do i need to put the "other" tweaks?
("other Tweaks go to system/etc/install-recovery.sh") << still in here or somewhere different!?

Hello,

YOu can simply replace kernel if you are using any custom ROM on locked kernel.
Then you can simply copy and paste it (overwrite)
EDIT: As I know, this cant be applied when on unlocked bootloader (you havent noticed it before).
Yeah, well apperntly im outta luck i geus. My x10i is rooted + unlocked bootloader, but im running 2.3.3 gb.... No custom rom, about the kernel i dont know if its stock or custom, i would have to take i look at google to find it out.
Edited: And yeah, looking back it would indeed bin better if i posted this info in first post.
After all it looks that im gonna have to borrow a pc by a friend.

The process may be similar but he'll need to flash a pre-rooted version of the FW he's using or Doomkernel.
If he's planning on sticking with GB he'd be better to use one of DoomLord's methods so he can get CWM.

you have to flash a Prerootets System image or a prerootet kernel... take al look at the devs forum, you found everything you need - try out Advanced stock kernel and then, through the recovery, install the Doomkernel and, if you needet, the WIFI modules
Hey so I'm coming from the i9000 section I'm very confident with flashing ROMS and mods and stuff like that but obviously every phone is different, what would be the best most stable ROM ? What I'm looking for
*stock styling (stock launcher like in 2.1)
*good battery life
*stability
*lots of features
*the slide to remove notification feature (this is probably my biggest ask, if there is a mod that can do this on stock firmware it would be great)
*clear instructions to check if bootloader is locked and if it is how to unlock it
*clear rooting and flashing guide thanks
By the way looking for this for mini pro

I would start with MiniCM7Pro by Paul-xxx from this link.
It looks close to stock Android Gingerbread and it doesn't require you to mess with your bootloader or a custom kernel.
Steps are:
Get Flashtool
Root the phone
Install CWM
Press the backbutton on kernel-logo to get into CWM.
In CWM do the usual wipes (factory-reset/data, cache, dalvik-cache, battery stats)
Then install the ROM from your sd-card and reboot
Thanks a lot! since it is on 2.1 can I just use a once click app method? To do this then use ROM manager to install cwm?

Don't have experience with ROM manager, if it works on stock 2.1 then it will probably install CWM fine, I've got a CWM install zip for xRecovery (I install xRecovery with flashtool ,then install zip from sd-card and choose the CWM-install zip)
It is in a thread here somewhere, can't remember where though.
After that just flash the ROM with it.
Thanks a lot if it isn't to much to ask what exactly would I need to unlock the boot loader for?

search for S1Tool, it will give you the information you need to determine if it is safe to unlock your bootloader. (basically, if you have an SEMC simlock certificate you should be ok, if it states unknown simlock certificate, you're more than likely to brick your phone) (and look on the sticker under the back-cover of the phone, if it's on or after (year)11(week)29 (11w29) there is a chance of hard-bricking your phone too)
If it is safe, there is an unlock-option in Flashtool, under the plugins-menu that should do the trick.
Thanks what's the advantages of having it unlocked?

I disagree, minicm9 works better then minicm7 in terms of speed and stability. Not to mention the UI of ICS is better then GB. All I have issue is with video playback (qualcomm's fault).

Lol, it is NOT Qualcomm's fault, they would have helped if it was possible. If anyone is to blame, it is Google, for choosing a newer SOC with more possibilities as base for ICS.

Thanks I just checked her phone tonight it was under the year week thing with right baseband and update version for miniprocm7 but didn't have access to a of so couldn't check sim lock, so assuming that's okay do I just connect it check unlock bootloader and run?

I know about the update you mentioned, but there seems to be even more new then that 6.1.1.b1.100. In any case how can i upgrade to those, be it new or older firmware?

To get a real lag reduction and battery drain issue, I suggest you to root atleast (without unlocking your boot loader which does not void your warranty).
For that you need flashtools from there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933985
However, B.1.100 is slightly better than the previous version
So to try that, flash it with flashtools, you can find the download link here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974430
You do not require root to flash Sony stock ROMs.
Another better alternative is to flash custom ROMs for locked bootloader,
My personal suggest, go for SlimCM ROM, pretty stable and snappier.

So in essence i can flash newest stock B.1.100 without root, and not losing the waranty (subquestion only unlocking the bootloader voids waranty, but root no? I am asking this cos i do seem to remember but i might be wrong that root can also void it, and i wanna be sure . But if i decide to go for custom ROM which you suggested do i need root for that? With root i can remove loads of stuff which i cannot do now, so thats why the lag is much lesser?

Yes you can attain root access without unlocking your boot loader.
Use flashtool method or Bin4ry's method.
Again yes, you can flash SONY STOCK fw using flashtools (without root or unlocking) in flashmode (just keep in mind to "exclude TA")
Once you are rooted you can install apps such as greenify that really helps to last the battery longer.
Also you could remove the bloatware and other useless apps.
Or you even you can make choices to install Custom ROMs for locked bootloaders. Just check the development section.
This is my personal suggest: SlimCM ROM.
Though its CM9
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143750
See the instructions for locked boot loaders.
Sent from my Xperia U using xda app-developers app
To root fw C.1.0 or any later versions, you need to
-flash the kernel alone of B.1.0.
-follow root procedure by flashtool or Bin4ry method.
-Then flash back the corresponding kernel of the ROM.

Ty for all the suggestions. I rly appreciate it. Think i will go for what u suggested first, slimCM. I checked it and it looks nice.. Althou some things are not so clear to me. In both instructions, for slimCM and in patch for locked bootloader it says wipe data or factory reset in recovery. What is recovery? And it also mentions to do the backup of my current ROM. How shall i do that. Wipe data and factory reset means all data gone from phone so i should backup at least photos, music and sms-es to my pc or some app.

That's where you can find recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020897
CWM recovery is required to flash custom ROMs or MODs etc.
You can find the wipe data, cache options in the recovery menu. Just back up your contacts, messages and things.
Nothing from SD card will be lost.
Do carefully patch the ROM as per the instructions to make it into locked bootloader.
Copy that zip file in SD card and enter CWM recovery
-flash ROM
Done !

U can root ur device with out touching bootloader dats pretty easier....
but remember after rooting u need to install cwm recovery bcz its used to flash custom roms and rem u can also take take backup of ur entire rom
if anything goes wrong during flashing custom u can easily restore ur device to normal..... by using back up....
flash b.1.10 rom bcz it can be easily rooted by using flashtool......
So finally the process is root first, second recovery and finally flashing rom of ur choice.....
There are so many ROMS in dev section for locked bootloader......
njoyyyyyyyyy............
I ll attach CWM recovery files download and extract.... In the extract folder double click install(.bat file) make sure device connected with debugging mode on..... accept all superuser request on device........aft rooting u ll get super user app in apptry

Here's the Rooting Process for you.
This Rooting guide applies to all FW versions above B.1.10. (i.e. B.1.54/C.1.0/B.1.75/B.1.189/B.1.100)
1) Open Flashtool.
2) Click the Flash icon.
3) Select Flash Mode. (Make sure USB Debugging is ON in your Mobile Settings before connecting to PC)
4) Select & Flash the B.1.10 kernel. Then Reboot.
5) Select the Un-Lock icon and choose your preferred SU app & proceed.
6) Follow the on-screen instructions.
7) Now you have rooted your device.
8) Flash the kernel of your respective FW from the FTF file through Flash Mode and let the device reboot.
