Hello, I recently got an Xperia P and decided to root it, I followed the advice here to root the phone:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2023756
Everything went fine, I then installed CWN Recovery located here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020895
And now wondering what ROM I should use for my phone, my bootloader is currently locked and is unable to be unlocked. Sorry kind of new to this, first Android and all.
Thanks in advance!

Before installing a custom rom you need to install recovery, if you haven't installed any recovery previously. check this link to install recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364509
Here you can find the Custom Rom's for both Locked & Unlocked Boot Loader http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1450
Before trying any Rom check whether it is for Locked/Unlocked Boot Loader. Instruction for flashing that Rom will on that thread itself.

Hey, first of all i would like to apologise if this is posted in the wrong section, its my first post and even though i have used XDA many many time, i have never really caught onto the posting side of it!
I recently obtained a Xperia Ray of a friend and it was running gingerbread, so first of all i updated to 4.0.4A and rooted my device, and then i installed busybox ect, then after looking at the service on the phone (*#*#7378423#*#*) i found out that my bootloader was Unlockable.
as i wished to install a custom ROM, i have been looking at custom ROM's for LockedBL's and then of course to install half of them i have had to install CWM but this is where my problem begins! i have not been able to successfully install CWM via various methods, including the X-Parts App, Xrecovery PC Application, can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance,
Liam
(Again i apologies if posted in the wrong place, dont shout, im a noob i know :laugh: )
I can't help you with your problem, but if your phone is built before 2012 week 11 (if I remember correctly) you can unlock it using the wotan service, despite the non unlockable status. You can check the build date on the sticker, below the battery.

Hello,
Also available on my Xperia X10 device. Android 2.3.3 version from the very old in my device but I am very happy.
I did previously samsung device to install custom ROMs.
I could not. Can you help.
When I go to the phone's menu to unlock the bootloader nothing about.
I have tried all the methods mentioned in the forum but did not succeed.
Also, did have an opportunity to propose the stable ROM. I prefer the version from Android 4.
I would be glad if you could also tell when I apply what steps these operations.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Have a nice day.

Thanks for reply... i went through several forums .... i have a locked bootloader with 5.0.2.. am confused with the first step...
1. Should I unlock my bootloader??
or
1. Should I flash with 4.4, then install custom recovery and then flash rooted roms??
I am not concerned of warranty, but m concerned of losing my baseband .. please suggest !!
If you don't care about warranty, unlock your bootloader, flash some kernel with recovery and flash custom ROM.
Regards

You must unlock bootloader before you install non stock Rom. Before doing this, you must have a recovery.
