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.

I have SE Live With Walman, and it's rooted with doomlord's rootkit, however my phone doesn't allow bootloader unlocking. So, i was wondering if there's any rom that doesn't require unlocked bootloader and costum kernel.

Most of the custom ROMs that are not based on Stock Sony one, require flashing a custom kernel so you need to have an unlocked bootloader!
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.

As much as i know FXP wont do his cyanogenmod for locked bootloader.
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.
