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.

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

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..
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

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.

Just want to ask guys if it's okay to unlock the bootloader using a custom rom?
Thanks for future answers
Hi,
I'm not sure to understand. You mean that tou want to unlock your bootloader by flashing a custom ROM ?
If so, it's not possible. Depending on your phone, you'll need to unlock your BL manually, via Sony's website or with "test-point method" (there may also be other methods).
If you mean that you want to unlock your phone using a "regular" method, while you're using a custom ROM compatible with locked BL, then I'd answer yes. But you may not be able to access the Sony "hidden" menu to check if it's successful.
Also, your post's title is not very explicit...
Thanks for the reply, but what I mean is I am using custom rom right now with a locked bootloader. And my question is, is it okay to unlock my bootloader even I am not on stock firmware?

Well first you need to know the uses of unlocking a bootloader and also its consequences.
By unlocking your phone's bootloader,you will be able to flash custom kernels to your phone with which you will also get the option of overclocking and underclocking your phone!
BUT
You will lose your warranty and the DRM keys will be lost.
So,if you think that it's great to unlock your bootloader and you don't care about the consequences,go ahead!
Enjoy your phone's true powers then!

You're sure you want to overclock? Because that could even destroy the phone and I guess you have a higher battery draining

I don't really use overclocking always because my previous phone got some overheating issues. But I will overclock my phone when I will play an hd game because it really lags alot.
