Hi!
How can I use CM with locked bootloader? I have Arc S with unlocked BL(this phone won't be sold), and I was using CM9 and CM10. Best roms ever. But how can I use it on my SXP with locked BL?(this phone will be sold, and I dont want to lose my warrant)

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..
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.

Hi, yesterday i saw in the official cm downloads, a stable CM9 release for my Xperia LWW, Can i install at normally ROM (i have locked botloader) or i need unlocked botloader?

Currently cm supports only unlocked bootloaders. Coz it can't work with stock kernel. It needs a custom kernel (so needs fastboot, so needs unlocking)
So you need to unlock it to flash cm.

Hey guys, i am new here but reading for last few weeks, i was ios user but now got hold of xperia P from sony and very pleased with the phone.
I read and learned how to root,cwm and flash custom rom. Learned how to check is bootloader unlockable or not.
So my Xperia says No for bootloader which means that i can do everything except flash custom kernels ??? correct me if i am wrong !?
I flashed Honami custom 4.1.2 and it works great but i want kitkat 4.4, but as far as i see, its available only with custom kernel (which i cant flash !?).
So tell me could i expect in near future kitkat for stock kernel or do i sell this phone which i se great by the way ??!?!
Thx, and apologiez if there is similiar thread or wrong subforum. No hate please

Nope.. You can't have custom kitkat on you phone with locked boatloader because it uses custom kernel...so, You can only flash roms that are based on stock rom...!
But there are some people claiming that they managed to unlock their bootloader despite it says no.. So, You could check those threads... But I don't recommend that as it could harm your phone..

What is the worse thing that could happen, i already had soft-brick and i fixed with pccomapnion software, could it be unrepairable ?
Actually I don't know... But it could get hard brick because you are doing what your phone is not capable of.. so... It's up to you to decide whether try it or not...

yes but Sources have leaked so won't it be possible to have a stock rom on Kitkat ?
or even use a newer phone kitkat on our XP like XPZ1 ?
I don't think we can run any custom kernel on locked boatloader..! That's why we cannot run kitkat on our phone with locked boatloader.. But I am just sharing my own view.. Because I really don't know if it is possible!

IS there a way to install the cyanogenmod onto my Sony Xperia Z2 with a locked bootloader? The phone is rooted and has TeamWinRecovery but I just wanted to know if there is a way to put cyanogenmod on it since it is an unlockable bootloader... Thanks for your help
No.
Unless someone can figure out sonys FBI lvl encryption and crack the bootloader we wont have anything but stock on a locked bootloader
Ya I've seen that a few times online but you can put custom roms on an xperia z2 with a locked bootloader because I have had existenz ultimate on my phone with the bootloader locked.

There is a difference between stock based custom and custom
Custom roms arent based on the stock rom hence they need a custom kernel to run and you cant flash a custom kernel on a locked bootloader
Stock based roms you can flash becsuse they use the stock kernel
Simple as.
Oh ok I see what your saying thanks for the info. Appreciate it.
