Has any tried this one in their arc?
is it safe to O/C using this app?
i really wanna try the O/C and U/V i dont wanna unlocked my bootloader..
anyone tried this?
You cant oc with stock kernel even you try with any program already
Ya, it works great but you need to unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel...!!!

hi guys
i'm just wondering what would be the true benefit of an unlocked bootloader, since we can still use the same roms using cobrato's method?
while i want to try it, it seems that the x10's unlocked bootloader still have limitations ie kernels need to flashed and also irreversible.
are there much tangible benefits, ie better performance?
thanks
I just love the boot screen of custom kernel ;D

hi jiawei,
thanks for getting back to me, but when you say custom kernel smoother than stock, do you mean just any? or custom kernels with an unlocked bootloader?
thanks

So you can load custom kernels directly without having to bypass the stock kernel.
Its a lot cleaner and allows for more customisation like doomkernel v06 for unlocked bootloaders which includes a bootmanager. It also has the potential for cm7.2 (Maybe cm9) in the future, and full support from cm because we will be able to use cmw recovery not just xrecovery
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
Whitefang
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 )

Hey guys anyone ever flashed a kernel through cmw recovery? I've seen it done on youtube but never seen it done here.
Sent from my X10i using xda app-developers app
you can flash kernel through recovery only on Locked Bootloader and not unlocked bootloader.
There is doomlord's bootmanager for unlocked bootloader supporing to boot into different kernels while booting but haven't tried it personally so dont know about it
Thanks. But why I ask is out of curiosity and Because my computer crashed leaving me on a cm7 rom I don't particularly like for two days! So how is it that flashing kernels for only locked bls? So not fair. Sounds strange to me. well I'm no dev or a noob. Hmmm but I wonder if I can flash that boot manager through cwm? What you think?

nope sorry mate you cant do that.
Bootmanager can be flashed only by flashtool.
In Locked bootloader, the sony kernel is killed and than custom kernel starts after this process so we can flash it via cwm
In Unlocked bootloader we have to remove the sony kernel and load the custom kernel but on X10 its not possible with cmw/xrec

Im getting an Atrix tomorrow nothing has been done to it should i update the software on phone and then root or vice versa? Can i do all this without an unlocked bootloader? Im not looking to flash any roms or CWM.
You can root it without unlocking

And i can overclock too meaning set cpu like no frills to 400`s min to 1.00 max for a little more speed?

It might be possible, but from what i've seen thats a kernel related issue. To flash a new kernel, you need to unlock.
May i ask why you don't want to unlock?

Well if its rooted it should be able to do no frills and adjust cpu. Thats really all i want to do

Yes, but you can't overclock the stock kernel. just underclock it
Then what is the deal with people that rooted and not unlocked and flash recovery and roms from rom manager?

Its an exploited weakness in the system that rom manager uses. Its like the A2, and in my side job device, the DX, bootstrap can be used. I'm not sure if there's an official bootstrap for the 4G though. But like i said, it gets into the system and exploits a weakness and installs a new recovery. You then reboot into recovery from rom manager to install a custom rom

Ty what i meant is cant i just root from one click root and then install CWM from Rom manager.without unlocking bootloader?

I don't see why not. I've never done it like that with the 4G, but it should be possible
Sent from my DROIDX using xda app-developers app
That is impossible. Where did you see that?
Maybe you need to do more research.
The HD can so shouldnt this be able to? Also i think i could root this and no frills on this and set min in the 400`s and max 1.0 of course. Is this possible without BL
Don't compare. Atrix was/is an experiment from motorola. It has very unique things that atrix 2 and atrix hd don't have.
Edit: again, you can do whatever you want with stock kernel, except overclocking it.
