Hi everyone!
I'd like to know if I will be able to install CM9 (or AOKP/MIUI in the future) with locked bootloader?
Now locked BL xu-s have a working CWM, so...
Not yet.

i have read for a long time and try some roms who didint say req bootloader unlock but all stops on sonyericsson (bootloop) maybe it is here someone who try and work with a specific rom ...
Maybe they aren't saying that you need unlocked bootloader, but if "kernel" is mentioned, then you need that kernel and kernel flash need unlocked bootloader.
Practically every custom ROM needs it's own kernel, so I'm afraid you'll have to unlock your bootloader.
My manual said that only if defects were caused by custom software, I'd might have to pay for the reparation.
Yes i know but i come from Htc where it was easy (root and redy to install everyting) and now i`m stuck but i don`t give up my garanty for this it maybe later it will apear some roms only with root
tnx all
I found a guide in this page http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119 maybe with a modified kernel of the Xperia S and following the steps, you can root with locked bootloader, is this possible???
Need help!!!!!
Thanks.....
Currently impossible.
Only Xperia's 2012 line are in this situation.
ANY OTHER PHONES! All have options to root even Motorola with permanently locked bootlaoder
I have Xperia S with locked bootloader without possibility unlock it <yet> by the operator (Orange PL)
Is it posible to flash a prerooted official image with digital signature (if that exists) without having the bootloader unlocked?
my problem is that i can't unlock my bootloader because of my phone company, but i recently flashed the new ICS to my phone and it worked perfectly. this wasnt a problem apparently because it was signed by sony or something and the bootloader didn't complain. so, does there exist a rooted but official image i can flash without unlocking the bootloader?
Thank you all in advance. im really frustrated by not being able to root my device :crying:
hope somebody can help.

Hey guys,
I was searching for a nice GB Rom for my Ray, but I have a locked bootloader
So I was wondering, is there a cool rom for locked bootloader? Cause i really don't want ICS...
(And someone ported MIUI for locked bootloader, but the ICS version, is this possible to put MIUI GB into a locked bootloader?)
Thanks !
Please post questions in the Q&A thread.
I upgrade the rom to the ICS and I would like to know if I can unlock the booloader from ICS, or if I have to downgrade to gb before unlocking
If it is unlockable, yes.
