If you are using stock. 54 tft file, it doesnt matter if your bootloader is locked, it will work on both. If you want to use Rom for unlocked, then you need to keep bootloader unlocked all the time you are using the Rom. If you flash unlocked and then relock it, you will get bootloop.

If it is Sony stock tft file, then yes, its working on both, locked and unlocked.
If its customized Rom based on stock, then read the OP.

Do you have a ST25a or ST25i? If you're installing an ST25a on a i you should exclude the base band in flashtool and the other way around. I don't know if this causes the boot loop, but it might be worth the try.
Yes... But a boot loop isn't necessarily. It's the best probability. Maybe... Just vibrate and nothing else.

I've been trying all day to flash the .71 firmware and different kernels for miui.
I really want miui to work on my x10. I've tried all the provided kernels for the miui Roms I've tried.
I can flash the uk generic firmware fine but when I try the kernels in flashtool it keeps saying error aborted and keeps doing that but if I try uk generic again it flashes fine.
I have x10i uk vodaphone
Thanks

Have you unlocked your boot loader?
It was previously unlocked. If I reflash original uk firmware does it relock again? Any app about to test if it locked or not?

SIM unlocked or bootloader unlocked? to check if bootloader is unlocked run this: (post#2)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087
where it says: RUNNING S1_EROM FROM VER "r8Axxx" if the first letter is lowercase, you're unlocked. If you see "R8Axxx" the you will need to unlock.
Hi I recently bought the sony ericsson WT19i (Live), now I want to flash cyanogenmod but i don't know how. I read something about unlocking bootloader bu I can only find tutorials for Xperia range phone's also is there a way to backup my current ROM and EFS partition?.
I have alot of expirience with android so just some links should do.
Also is there a way to Re-Lock the bootloader?
You must unlock bootloader first. Then flash custom rom, and install cm using update zip.

Thanks but unlocking avoids warranty and no official updates. Is it worth it?
From what i understand with a locked bootloader you cant boot into recovery, right?

Ssory my english is bad. I am russian user.
With unlocked bootloder you can not oficially update you device.
You can install cwm to locked stok rom and boot into recovery.
Unlock bootloader only need to flash modded kernel.
after unlocking you can lock bootloader. Drm key's not restore

Relocking bootloader requires stock kernel. Kernel is included in a ftf file. The complete stock firmware is in ftf file, which you need to install via Flashtool.

read that. Everything regarding bootloader unlocking should be there remember, you MUST be on stock 2.3.3 rom to unlock bootloader. The official Sony Ericsson rom, not any stock-based rom..
