I think that cm9.1 only works with unlocked bl because u need to flash kernel

First of all:
You can't install cyanogenmod on a locked bootloader. You have to unlock it, because it works only on it's custom kernel.
The getprop error has nothing to do with this, but you don't need to know how to solve, because you can't install...
Look in development section for a rom for locked bootloader and maybe check out my signature how to install a custom rom (the guide is about locked bootloader, too)
success

Yes, like daydu19 said, only for unlocked bootloader, but you can't expect it for the sk17i with locked, because for that there has to be a sony jelly bean rom for a device with an armv7 processor. Just wait - maybe there will be a jelly bean rom for locked bootloader one time

Have you unlocked your bootloader? I suspect not. This is what flashtools is referencing.
Custom roms and mods that work on stock kernels can be installed on rooted devices.
Some mods/roms make such significant changes to Sony's builds that a new kernel is required (MIUI, CM, AOKP). To install a custom kernel you need to unlock your bootloader.
You may read the instructions provided by the author of the rom., to flash kernels, you need to unlock your bootloader. Seek and you'll see.
Is that right? lol

Now you’ve flashed one ROM on the Ray I can’t see you stopping
It doesn’t matter what WE recommend because your experience of which is the best ROM may be different to ours.
Try them all – I usually change mine once a month. But in my humble opinion, the most cutting edge, fully featured, experimental yet suitable for daily use ROM is PAC. My little Ray runs smoother than my wife’s Galaxy S2 and has so much more swagger – to borrow from AOKP.
so you recommend PAC rom ? actullay i want to stay with my stock based smooth (ASOP) ROM. if you know something then pls recommend me
Hi All,

hi all,
i tried the methods mentioned in the links pos9ted earlier to upgrade the phone to ICS first using SEUS and hen root it. unfortunately it did not work out. i can confirm that the steps mentioned were done correctly. what i have done is have downgraded to Gb and then rooted it. Post that i have installed a custom rom. is there any way i can install a custom rom for ICS now?
AW: How to install ICS based rom on a rooted Mini pro
for most custom roms you need to unlock your bootloader, or look if the rom you like to have is for locked bootloader too. for some roms you need to flash different kernel first. i would suggest you to flash a prerooted kernel with built in recovery. then you can install new rom via that recovery.
For installing custom roms like cm etc you need to unlock bootloader, if you don't want to do that go here and find a rom that does not need bootloader unlock. if you didn't unlock bl, download xparts and install cwm.
for unlocking, go here
then go here find a custom rom, copy zip to sd card, extract boot.img to pc, flash boot.img in fastboot mode of flashtool or fastboot, boot device, enter cwm and flash zip from sd.
thank mihann for the excellent guide.
hope it helped

I recently rooted and installed cwm on my Neo V, so I can install cyanogenmod. I was going to unlock the bootloader before installing cyanogenmod, but someone told me that the bootloader needs to be unlocked before rooting.
So my question is, do I need to unroot, as well as remove clockworkmod to unlock bootloader? Please help!

I've searched but can't seem to find an answer to my question, this thread seems to be closest. I have unlocked BL, rooted and flashed cm10 on my wife's Neo V, because on stock rom it was too slow. Runs great, really happy. Only problem, she uses a Barclays Bank app, but because it has detected that the phone is rooted, it won't let her use it. Can I unroot without losing the custom rom, or a way around making the app "beleive" that the phone isn't rooted?

Get another bank... Cant use cyanogenmod without root because root is part of cyanogenmod.. So next time yo need a phone with cyan you only need to fix bootloader and then flash you rom.. No root needed
So I want to install a custom firmware, but this is my first phone with a locked bootloader so if you'd review what I've gathered about the subject and correct it, it would be grand (I've already flashed a different stock firmware and rooted it btw, but that as far as I've wanted to get until now).
I want to flash JB eXperience 2, and from what I can see this would be the steps:
Load up the rom in the SD storage.
Install a stock b 1.54 rom like this one with flashtool.
Root the rom using flashtool (I'm also unsure abuot this step, saw some weird stuff about rooting this version).
Install this particular CWM with the included bat (this is the bit that makes me a bit uneasy).
Load CWM and flash the custom firmware.
I'm asking because I've read stuff about replacing the B 1.54 kernel by the one on B 1.10 and stuff like that, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me, and also, the experience howto is made for unlocked phones so I'm a bit unsure and I'd really rather ask than have my phone bricked
thanks!
Do this
Flash B.54
Flash B.10 kernel
Root
Flash B.54 kernel
Install cwm
boot into cwm
flash the rom
reboot
thats it
simple

Hi,
I have tried the binary's method but it didn't work either. I've been looking all over the xperia u forum's but I didn't find a solution...
It appears a message saying:
"mount: permission denied (are you root?)"
I am on FW 6.1.1.B.1.54. I also tried to flash it to kernel 6.1.1.B.1.10 but it also appear a message saying "ERROR: Aborted" on flashtool.
It's an Xperia U ICS 4.0.4 Vodafone PT with bootloader locked. Thanks a lot

win 8 should not be a problem if u have drivers installed. which version of flashtool u r using.
I'm using the last one: 0.9.10.1 64bits.
I think I have the drivers since when I connect the device, windows asks what do I want to dowith Xperia U. It also works with PCC. But when I used flashtool and I put the device in flash mode, when I connect, it appears a pop up saying windows doesn't recognize the device.
Is this normal?

I recently had re-locked my bootloader and came back on stock ICS with root!
Earlier i had flashed almost all CM ROMs including the newest CM 10.1.

Did that 3 times! Also this is the second time i unlocked my BL. I guess that's not the problem as i just flashed CM10.1 and it's working without a problem!
extract boot file of your rom and flash it with fastboot
Just open the Updater Script inside your ROM zip and then delete the first three lines something with getprop blablabla , always working for me
