Hello,
I am new to this forum and not sure if this is the right place to post this thread. Kindly help me.
I am using Xperia neo V that is running on ics 4.0.4.
Recently I rooted my phone without unlocking bootloader. I took help from this site in doing so.
Now I need to flash custom rom on to my rooted device with locked bootloader. How can I do it?
Can anyone please tell me the steps and links in detail?
I searched the site for this , found few links but I wanted exact steps for my device.
Could anyone please helpout?
Thanks,

Before installing a custom rom you need to install recovery, if you haven't installed any recovery previously. check this link to install recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364509
Here you can find the Custom Rom's for both Locked & Unlocked Boot Loader http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1450
Before trying any Rom check whether it is for Locked/Unlocked Boot Loader. Instruction for flashing that Rom will on that thread itself.

So probobly you will need to unlock your bootloader to install custom rom. Not every rom require it but most of them.
1.Here you've got tutorial to unlock your bootloader

Search the many guides. You should find what you need with a little searching.
Thanks for reply... i went through several forums .... i have a locked bootloader with 5.0.2.. am confused with the first step...
1. Should I unlock my bootloader??
or
1. Should I flash with 4.4, then install custom recovery and then flash rooted roms??
I am not concerned of warranty, but m concerned of losing my baseband .. please suggest !!
If you don't care about warranty, unlock your bootloader, flash some kernel with recovery and flash custom ROM.
Regards

You must unlock bootloader before you install non stock Rom. Before doing this, you must have a recovery.
