I am not 100% sure but on the title it says "ALL BLs" which I suppose stands for all bootloaders so probably no you don't need to unlock it.
the rom u mentioned does not requires an unlocked bootloader...
bt it order to run any rom based on cm9 ... u need to unlock bootloader.... as these roms require a custom kernel
clear ?
it says no on the service info to unlock the bootloader so what can i do?
when i get home im gonna install cwm from here http://theunlockr.com/2013/01/14/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-the-sony-xperia-go/
would it work if i just put cwm? and then flash the rom?
and if not is there a way that i can unlock my bootloader even tho it says no or do something???/??

Download fxp044 install kernel, download nightly and flash thru cwm recovery.
And yes bootloader must be unlocked.
From my CyanogenMod NIGHTLY, Thanks to FreeXperiaProject-Team
thanks for the info but still don't know how to install cwm o_0
now if my phone is sim unlocked via htccode, should I use setool2??? to be honest the tutorial is not that well explained if you follow step by step literally

No don't unlock your bootloader with setool or setool2, You can't unlock your bootloader for now because your phone is sim unlocked with another tool
but if you want CWM I recommend you to first flash this rom by Cobrato which works on locked bootloaders:

Pretty awesome rom
then follow this for having CWM:

Yeah you can do that. You could always do that though. But with s-off you dont have to worry about locking and unlocking and all that.

Yes, to unlock bootloader at this point in time, HTC DEV unlock is the only method.

I think, you have locked boot loader & stock kernel ?
and that rom required unlocked boot loader & V3 kernel !

i have just bought new phone don't want to loose warranty as early as possible may be later i may dare to unlock it
i love developers who makes world look better place.. i am frequent visitor of xda from my first windows mobile since 3-4years ..
but i had very bad experience with z71 android handset which gave me lot of pain but i made full use of warranty period because there was no unlocking ..! just flashing lots of custom roms ..
but xperia is different i think i have to gain more confidence to start flashing.. because there will be no warranty once unlocked...
When you feel confident, you can Unlock you device by any method you prefer, follow the guide by following link,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409269
P.S, using official method to unlock the boot loader, you will void your warranty, but using XDA method you will have option to relock the boot loader again
Hope, this will help

you're welcome,
that means you are qualify to unlock your boot loader,
its not Pre-Unlocked !
if it shows No, that means you cannot unlock boot loader due to Manufacturer restrictions.

my phone is already rooted can i oerclock by setcpu without unlocking or do sommething etc
I think, overclocking need other then stock Kernel, check Kernels thread, which suit your overclocking need.
Hi, i have a Live with walkman, with locked bootloader, can i install other kernel?, for example LuPus kernel

If you want to install a kernel like lupus, first you need to unlock your bootloader. Use this tool to unlock it.

The risk of brick your device, but a lot of people already unlocked their bootloaders without any problems, your DRM will be permanently deleted, but believe me you can get more from your phone when the bootloader is unlocked, really worth it.

And you loose your warranty
Drm won't be lost if you unlock using testpoint method.

First check the bootloader status.whether its unlocked or not.
If its already unlocked then you can flash any custom kernel.If not you have to unlock BL first.Its not harmful but it will avoid your phone warranty.Try to use SE web site to unlock BL.Its the safest way..
After unlocking BT u can flash kernels anytime using Flash tool™..
Re:How to install a kernel
To install a custom kernel,you have to unlock your bootloader and there are two ways of doing it:
1.Use the official sony method...
head to unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com and follow the procedure there..
by doing so you lose your DRM keys which means services like track id wont work anymore...
2.use a testpoint method which is a bit complicated but you retain your DRM keys
for the testpoint method check this out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730874
Bootloader unlocking should be done carefully,you might brick your phone if you are not careful..
after the unlock is complete you can use flashtool to flash a custom kernel in fastboot mode..
