Quick Question : Why would you want to do that?
Answer to the question : Yes You can do it by Flashing A Relock ftf file for your device.
But Locked bootloader will stop the CWM from functioning,
Might leave your device soft brick.
Root has nothing much to do with boot loader lock or unlock. So boot will be present
I hope you find this information useful.
Advice : Do not attempt to lock it with root and CWM.
Correct procedure is to
1. Flash a CLEAN STOCK
and then
2. Flash ReLock

I am not sure yet if there is an available CWM for locked bootloaders for ICS 4.0.4.
I already have unlocked bootloader, so I just flashed a kernel with Root and CWM.

not a problem.
and with an unlock bootloader, you can easily flash zips thru cwm.
there is a some mods available already thru the mod section.

ROOTING doesnt have anything to do with the bootloader

CWM Installation does not unlock the bootloader

Once Bootloader is unlocked ,your warranty is void

to enter CWM menu
press power on
when the sony logo appears,keep on pressing the volume key down
(for lww,keep the home button pressed too)
CHEERS!
Tried to install recovery through x-parts with locked + rooted LWW, but reboots without cwm, even holding home button with vol down when Sony logo comes.
Help... If anyone having any idea.

you can do a full wipe :

Customisation Setting → reset customisation
or
fastboot.exe -w
or
use pc companion to repair device (this will also lead to full reset of the device)

I think you are trying to root your phone with locked bl.
proceed with the rooting steps then flash your own kernel again and It will be okay.

Do not worry it is hard to brick 2011 xperia phones.
I'm sure if you flashed your phone firmware again it will boot.
now, If I'm not wrong you were following this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842366
If you pay attention to the steps and follow them carefully you will succeed it rooting your phone with locked bl.
But give us some information to be able to help you.
Current firmware?
So are you following my rooting guide(see my signature). There it's clearly stated that whatever the status is continue with rooting. If u followed everything correctly u'll be successful.
Press THANKS if I helped,

i followed the rooting steps correctly and now after i rooted it using doomlord v1 xperia 2011 ics root , i installed the kernal using flashtool. I switched my phone back on and now its stuck at a black screen again with the periodic vibration but this time without the back capacitive touch screen button instead my screen's light keeps flickering.
Did you flashed your kernel at the end? The kernel found at the end differ from the when used while rooting!

Ok download the complete stock firmware of your phone(nearly 200 MBs) and flash it in flashmode. It should most probably switchon the device

Yes i did flash the second kernel at the end.
what all info do you need?
Hold on a second what are u guys talking about...... How is he suppose to flash kernel with a locked bootloader?? Lol
Btw flash the stock firmware first then unlock bootloader(official method or testpoint method) then flash a pre rooted kernel
Device: WT19i
Rom: Zelly Cream 2.0 [MDPI]
Kernel : Lupas v3

Dude please have proper knowledge before posting. You need an unlocked bootloader for custom kernels not the official one which are signed by sony. In the complete ftf firmware kernel is also included and it is flashed using flashtool. So in official kernel everything is removed from the ftf except kernel.sin and loader.sin and then the ftf is flashed on locked bootloader. As simple as that.

Do not follow his steps, unlocking bootloader will erase drm files which cause track id not to work and you will not be able to receive ota updates.
SO, do not unlock your bootloader unless you understand the consequences.
Now, what I can tell you is try to repair with seus or pcc, after that follow the rooting guide again, it is very simple but make sure you are following step by step correctly.
The phone is in your hand and the computer is infront of you.
You are the one who is going to figure this out and make this work.
Good luck.
