Hey guys anyone ever flashed a kernel through cmw recovery? I've seen it done on youtube but never seen it done here.

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

woohooooo!
oh yes ive have been waiting for a custom rom
do we not need a custom recovery before we can flash roms
That would be the easier way. But with unlocked bootloader, and fastboot some will be able to flash a system.img.

its not just system that needs to be flashed, boot needs to be flashed also and misc needs to be formatted, but yes its all possible from fastboot, it's just not very noob friendly

We had other Modaco ROMs before any recovery was ported. Advent Vega is an example.
I was just wondering since I looked and haven't found anything.
Has the bootloader been hacked for xperia plays that are not sim unlocked.
If not than this rom is only for the users with sim-unlocked plays.right?
Any news on the advancement of unlocking the bootloader on locked plays.

Is it necessary to have boot-loader unlocked to install a custom kernel, mods, roms ?
when i install a mod via CWM my phone it goes in boot loop.
when i flash custom kernal flashtool says your device need to be rooted or something like this. {Though my device s rooted}.
when i install a custom rom[Real ics5.2] my phone is bricked just hangs at sony logo.
Thanks in Advance for help.
Sorry for my bad English.
English is not my native language.
No you must unlock bootloader to install custom kernels.
Some roms are for locked bootloader, too. These you can flash with cwm. But read carefully, what has to be formatted and wiped.
Look for roms for locked bootloader and you can install them. But ics roms must flashed through cwm when you are currtently on stock ics rom by sony. So root your phone like this to have root in ics and then flash any ics rom for "locked bootloader"
Thanks

Your welcome
Why the installation of the kernel is through a tft file and not via recovery like other android devices?
Read my answer here.
It's not totally technically correct but that is the procedure in short

as far as i know its not possible for unlocked bootloader. you have to flash kernel via recovery in locked bootloader
I cant give more technical answer than that.
you can ask any dev
if you're into reading, then learn about kexec in wikipedia. in locked bootloaders, the stock kernel is temporarily overwritten by another kernel that has the kexec module. however in unlocked bootloaders that won't work. so for the time being flashing kernels via CWM is not possible for unlocked bootloaders. funniest part is i don't even own an X10.

Thanks, but AFAIK Galaxy Ace have unlocked bootloader and can install kernel via recovery but can't on X10 I think is more fast via recovery that flashtool

its only problem for X10.
there must be something preventing us from doing that otherwise must have been done before
So, I was searching for solution to have custom recovery on my locked Xperia S and i couldn't find it. Is it even possible because of my locked bootloader? My phone is rooted.
Rooting with This method gives recovery on locked bootloader.
I'm using it. I make backups and also flash roms that are for locked bootloader.

xcream and [email protected] roms are pretty cool, easy to install on locked bootloader and clean,
You can also use the attached "recovery", very quick no reinstalls, and even root direct with flashtool. A lot faster than the old method

How?

My SXS is rooted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460) and CWM is installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756346) on locked bootloader. So I can install for example the [email protected] ROM with CWM and will still have root and CWM?
Thx for answers!
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.

Nope you need an unlock boootloader to boot CM rom

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.
