Guys let me ask something - if i unlock bootloader on my Sola so i can install FXP 144a, can i still use CWM for Xperia U for locked bootloaders?
I am not sure how to instal the other one for Sola for unlocked bootloaders...
Yes you can.
To install other one you need flashtool or fastboot.

You need to install kernel also. Read carefully next time and learn before you do anything stupid.

So ur phone is stuck at Sony Ericsson logo...!!
Actually if u want to install custom or custom kernel then u need to have a boot-loader unlocked !!
did u read this from hybrom thread??
Needs unlocked bootloader
(actually hybrom does not contain a boot image.Thus, when you install hybrom you don't mess with your boot image at all.BUT recovery from nAa is installed in /system and while system is formated during the installation of hybrom,recovery messes with it self.That's why unlocked bootloader and a custom kernel with recovery is necessary for now to install hybrom)

1.first install stock rom and kernel from flashtool
link for stock rom and kernel : here
2.then u need to unlock your boot-loader through official way
link: here
here u will get a unlock code, then u have to use that code to unlock bootloader via flashtool and preserve unlock code for future use!!
3.after unlocking bootloader then u have to flash custom kernel then custom rom.
you can go here for further details..

so u just want cwm. so here is the LINK to download cwm.
just extract files and
1.Connect your device using usb data cable
2.Enable USB Debugging on device
3.install-cwm2.cmd for Xperia Mini / MiniPro / Active / Live With Walkman
4.Follow on screen instruction
but it requires root.
Hi guys!
I just wanted to ask, are there any ROMs that are flashable through the CWM recovery for locked bootloader on the Xperia U?
I successfully rooted my phone, and installed recovery on locked bl, and I wanted to try some other roms, but I don't know which one I can flash. Could you help me?

You need to find a ROM that is for locked bootloaders so without a custom kernel, I think KA for the P was kind of working on locked bl.
Guys, i have Xperia Sola ICS stock rom with root. I downloaded GB 184 for sola.
1. Can i downgrade to GB without unlocking bootloader? (with flash tool for example)
2. Can i flash custom ROM on my sola wihtout unlocking bootloader? (with some software)

1. Yes u can, with GB ftf file.
2. If u think on ROMs like CyanogenMod ROM answer is no, u must first unlock ur BL.
1. Of course u can, just download the file and flash it with flashtool
2. Some custom rom need unlock bootloaders to be installed, but another rom no need that.
I think if u want to install more custom rom, mod, root and etc, unlock bl is the best way

Guys, thank you very much. I succesfully downgraded to GB official stock ROM.
Now my last but very important question is - i dont like GB and i still dont like ICS (i downgraded only because of better battery life in GB), but i want to test some custom ROM (like AOKP rom posted in Sola section).
As much as i red i can not flash this ROM without unlocking the bootloader and installing CWM on my phone, is that right?
Actually the question i wanted to ask was - if i unlock bootloader can i flash custom rom with Flash Tool or i can flash only with CWM (which i dont know but i dont want to use)?

Hello everybody! I'm about to buy an Xperia U, and I have a few questions about bootloader, CWM and phone models.
I used to have a SGM which didn't have bootloader, locked and unlocked stuff, so i'm kinda lost here.
1-I see that there are some tutorials to unlock bootloader. Ok, if I unlock it, will there be any differences? Is it really needed?
2- There is CWM for locked bootloaders, but if i'm gonna flash some ROM, it will have to be for locked bootloaders or I can use any ROM after having CWM?
3- CWM backups Stock ROM?
4- Any physical differences between St25a and St25i? Can I flash a St25a ROM in a St25i phone?
5- If I update Xperia U from GB to ICS via official sony software, I can unlock bootloader after updating or I need to do it while on Gingerbread? Or I'll have to unlock bootloader while on Gingerbread and then flash official ICS ROM via Flashtool?
I guess that's it, if I remember something more i'll ask.
Thanks in advance
Sorry for my english
EDIT: Wait, Titanium Backup doesn't work on locked bootloader?

1.Unlocked Bootloader is not needed unless you are to install custom roms,kernels and stuff.It doesn't make difference in performance.
2.NO,you can only use roms which are for locked bootloaders.
3.It backups all the data of stock rom.if you want to revert to stock rom again you will have to flash it.
4.Don't know about physical diff,and also not sure about flashing st25a on st25i.it may harm your handset.but only difference is in baseband.
5.you can unlock whenever you want.But I guess once you unlock bootloader you can't use pcc or sus.(pc companion and sony update service) for updating your phone.But again,you can relock your bootloader anytime.
If you are going to flash it via flashtool you will need to unlock the bootloader first.
Told you all I know.if I helped anyhow hit thanks.
I am also a noob.so,if I am wrong anyone can correct me.

1. Leave it locked, safer until you get used to messing around with the device.
2. You can only use Rom's for locked bl.
3. Yes, with all your apps and data.
4. I have st25a on my st25i, no hardware difference.
5. Unlock bootloader on 2.3 or 4.1, you can only root with ICS afaik.
Also be aware that most sim locked Xperias cannot unlock bootloader ever, get yourself a sim free device if want unlocked bl.
