ExMIUI For sure, but I would strongly recommend unlocking your BL and installing custom Kernel..
Ofcourse you must be aware about warranty issues with BL Unlock.. But if you do it via test point method then you can re-lock your BL so warranty shouldn't be a problem..

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

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

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 )

which is the best rom for locked bootloader????which do you recommend
For installing custom Rom you should have unlocked bootloader.. Best ROM under my opinion is rooted stock.. It's. Mostly bugfree... Also you can relock your bootloader again after flashing it...
for relocking bootloader follow this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...9#post30725239

Hi friends, I was wondering what's the difference between Roms for locked bootloader and unlocked bootloader? I mean what's the difference between the contents of the Rom? what the bootloader locked Roms lack from the Roms which are cooked for unlocked bootloader? Thanks for your replies.

The roms for unlocked bootloader are mostly faster, because they have a specific custom kernel. The content is as far as I know the same, if a rom is available for locked and unlocked bootloader...
The roms for locked bootloader must run on the stock kernel, which is lighter...
It is faster with unlocked bootloader because of custom Kernel
So there is no difference in a Rom? The difference only lies in the combination of the Rom and kernel? Thanks friends.

Hey guys, i am new here but reading for last few weeks, i was ios user but now got hold of xperia P from sony and very pleased with the phone.
I read and learned how to root,cwm and flash custom rom. Learned how to check is bootloader unlockable or not.
So my Xperia says No for bootloader which means that i can do everything except flash custom kernels ??? correct me if i am wrong !?
I flashed Honami custom 4.1.2 and it works great but i want kitkat 4.4, but as far as i see, its available only with custom kernel (which i cant flash !?).
So tell me could i expect in near future kitkat for stock kernel or do i sell this phone which i se great by the way ??!?!
Thx, and apologiez if there is similiar thread or wrong subforum. No hate please

Nope.. You can't have custom kitkat on you phone with locked boatloader because it uses custom kernel...so, You can only flash roms that are based on stock rom...!
But there are some people claiming that they managed to unlock their bootloader despite it says no.. So, You could check those threads... But I don't recommend that as it could harm your phone..

What is the worse thing that could happen, i already had soft-brick and i fixed with pccomapnion software, could it be unrepairable ?
Actually I don't know... But it could get hard brick because you are doing what your phone is not capable of.. so... It's up to you to decide whether try it or not...

yes but Sources have leaked so won't it be possible to have a stock rom on Kitkat ?
or even use a newer phone kitkat on our XP like XPZ1 ?
I don't think we can run any custom kernel on locked boatloader..! That's why we cannot run kitkat on our phone with locked boatloader.. But I am just sharing my own view.. Because I really don't know if it is possible!
