[q] noobs flashing custom and stock kernels, custom and stock roms - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Hi please suggest iam half NOOB HERE may be full. locked bootloader
i have seen many threads some gives warning that only for Unlocked bootloaders some don't . in that scenario half NOOBS ARE CONFUSED
and give a try to flash things which is not clear and get stucked
these are my some questions which may help me and other noobs..
please kind mods need help
1) can custom kernels are possible to flash on locked bootloader ?
2) super_stock_boot_v3.img- can this flash via fastboot on locked bootloader ?
3) there are some tweaked stock rom and kernels- (example :cyclops LIKE THIS
thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719973
can this also flashed on locked bootloader

Everybody are noob at 1st try, nobody is professional out of box !
you just need to read all the related stuff and pay attention.
let me try to answer your questions with the best of my knowledge,
1- Custom kernels or any kernel cannot install on locked boot loader, actually there's only one reason to unlock the boot loader, and that is to install the custom kernel.
2- super_stock_boot_v3.img is kernel & so it required unlocked boot loader.
3- you can flash some Roms on Locked boot loader, which don't required custom kernels, & can work on Stock kernels, but Roms which required Custom kernels cannot flashed on locked boot loader.

thank you ...
that was very helpful and useful ..:good:
so i have to unlock the bootloader to flash any kernel or custom roms..

Unofficial way, with s1tool.
Is your phone sim-locked, locked on 1 network?

Download fxp044 install kernel, download nightly and flash thru cwm recovery.
And yes bootloader must be unlocked.
From my CyanogenMod NIGHTLY, Thanks to FreeXperiaProject-Team
thanks for the info but still don't know how to install cwm o_0
now if my phone is sim unlocked via htccode, should I use setool2??? to be honest the tutorial is not that well explained if you follow step by step literally

No don't unlock your bootloader with setool or setool2, You can't unlock your bootloader for now because your phone is sim unlocked with another tool
but if you want CWM I recommend you to first flash this rom by Cobrato which works on locked bootloaders:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327755
Pretty awesome rom
then follow this for having CWM:

I think, you have locked boot loader & stock kernel ?
and that rom required unlocked boot loader & V3 kernel !

i have just bought new phone don't want to loose warranty as early as possible may be later i may dare to unlock it
i love developers who makes world look better place.. i am frequent visitor of xda from my first windows mobile since 3-4years ..
but i had very bad experience with z71 android handset which gave me lot of pain but i made full use of warranty period because there was no unlocking ..! just flashing lots of custom roms ..
but xperia is different i think i have to gain more confidence to start flashing.. because there will be no warranty once unlocked...
When you feel confident, you can Unlock you device by any method you prefer, follow the guide by following link,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409269
P.S, using official method to unlock the boot loader, you will void your warranty, but using XDA method you will have option to relock the boot loader again
Hope, this will help

you're welcome,
that means you are qualify to unlock your boot loader,
its not Pre-Unlocked !
if it shows No, that means you cannot unlock boot loader due to Manufacturer restrictions.
invoices presone
my phone is already rooted can i oerclock by setcpu without unlocking or do sommething etc
I think, overclocking need other then stock Kernel, check Kernels thread, which suit your overclocking need.

Xperia S Rooting question

Hi, i want to root my Xperia S. So ive read all the tuts and other threads.
So first question is: I have build-number 6.1.A.0.452 (ICS), can i root it without downgrading to GB?
Second question: Can i unlock the bootloader without downgrading (in the tuts its written about GB) ?
And last question: Do i have to unlock the bootloader to have root?
Sorry if this had been answered before, but the XS section is totally new to me. I had a HTC Desire totally modded before so this is totally different now thats why i'm asking.
Thanks in advance
1) If your bootloader is unlockable
2) If your bootloader is unlockable
3) No, you can root without unlocking, but you'll need to downgrade.

There is a way without downgrade. Unlock bootloader (ALL DATA WILL BE WIPED INCLUDING SDCARD), then flash Advanced Stock Kernel by Arakmar. Reboot and voila.
