So, I'm kinda lost.. It as been a while, since I have used my live with walkman and now I see roms saying "unlocked/locked".. Afaik, to install a custom rom, we need unlocked bootloader, right? Can we now install custom roms, without unlocked bootloader, or locked means another thing? Thanks..
Edit - god, I'm so dumb.. I was thinking on other things, plz mods remove this topic..
P.s. - sorry my bad english

Well You Can't Flash That ROM on Locked Bootloader because it only Support the Unlocked Bootloader.
You Will have to Unlock Your Bootloader first. After you unlocked your bootloader then Flash a JB kernel (MESA 2.3 or any others)

Buh, nevermind.. I can't install roms with bootloader locked, above the ones sony gives support, because of the kernel.. So, no jb without unlocked bootloader..
Thanks anyway..

Yes, no jb. But here are some roms, supporting locked bootloader. Many stock based roms and some MIUI

Nah, that's pretty much it.
Does that mean we could dual boot with windows

go to stock SE rom and openn flashtool--> plugins
you should see bootloader locking option.
when I download and install Flashtool, i see "X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf" inside firmware folder.
was it for that purpose? i may be wronged...
s1tool
s1tool contains that option, but Im not shure how it works

The status said bootloader unlocked allowed:No
Does that man I can't unlock the bootloader at all?
Or there is a way to do it? Thanks for any help
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
No... You will have to wait. No custom kernels for you

It is possible, you have to wait for the Sony s1 signature server to come back online. Google it. There are other threads with more info.
