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 I recently bought the sony ericsson WT19i (Live), now I want to flash cyanogenmod but i don't know how. I read something about unlocking bootloader bu I can only find tutorials for Xperia range phone's also is there a way to backup my current ROM and EFS partition?.
I have alot of expirience with android so just some links should do.
Also is there a way to Re-Lock the bootloader?
You must unlock bootloader first. Then flash custom rom, and install cm using update zip.

Thanks but unlocking avoids warranty and no official updates. Is it worth it?
From what i understand with a locked bootloader you cant boot into recovery, right?

Ssory my english is bad. I am russian user.
With unlocked bootloder you can not oficially update you device.
You can install cwm to locked stok rom and boot into recovery.
Unlock bootloader only need to flash modded kernel.
after unlocking you can lock bootloader. Drm key's not restore

Most of the custom ROMs that are not based on Stock Sony one, require flashing a custom kernel so you need to have an unlocked bootloader!

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..
I have a question, I have a xperia S (lt26i), and I have allowed bootloader status "no", I have the generic 4.0.4 android world, but hey seen you can install the root cwm and also do not need the boot loader unlocked, having locked bootloader could install cyanogenmod 9?? or any way to get it having locked bootloader without having to flash the kernel?
If this was in the right section you would get your answer a lot faster as a lot of people now ignore question threads in the GENERAL section.

Not yet would be the right answer as some people are working on trying to get custom kernel onto a locked bootloader as this is the thing stopping users with locked bootloaders have cm ://

I read somewhere that putting a generic rom 4.0.4 in specific and having locked bootloader cwm installed, you could install CM9, 9 not 10, because the kernel was compatible with CM9 and did not need to flash another kernel. And would have locked bootloader CM9 with and without flash kernel.
Its possible. You have to wait. check this thread, you can understand.

I needed a help!
actually i unlocked my bootloader. tried the cm rom!
again went to stock 4.4.2 .314fw.. and locked the bootloader!
now i want to try the miui rom for our z2 but when i try to unlock the bootloader again it says already rooted!
now suppose its rooted or unlocked. i try to flash a kernel, flashtool gives an error that cannot execute the command.
why so? whats the solution?
Locking on MIUI ROM is not possible. Restore tour TA partition that will relock.
Relock will only work with stock ROM.
