is your bootloader unlocked? because if its not you cant.

as bladestonez said, the recovery partition is included in the kernel and the kernel is only flashable via fastboot (which needs the bootloader to be unlocked)

Check out the xperia mini pro section someone there has got cwm to work without unlocking the bootloader!
Edit: I just posted all the stuff to install cwm easily on the phone with a locked bootloader over in the dev section!

[Q] Locked Bootloader on R800

Guys,
I would like to install the DoomKernel in my device but, I entered in the sony`s setup in my phone and there says that I cant unlock the bootloader.
The question is:
Is there a way to install the DoomKernel in my device, even if my bootloader is locked?
I've made the root and I already have the CWM installed.
I would like to make a swapp and a little bit overclock
I tried to find this answer in the forum but, I found nothing.
Thank you very much.

First of all what model is it but seeing you can't unlock it's probably a r800x. Anyways, you can't install a kernel with a locked bootloader

And yes, you CAN unlock your model too, you'll need to if you want to install a custom kernel. Try doing some searches and you'll find out how

Unfortunately I think no.
I went to Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. And there is write No. So, I think that my device cannot be unlocked, unless I pay some company to do, right?

Guys,
Just to let you know that I have solved my problem.
I made the bootloader unlock with this server:
wotanserver.com
Worked fine!
Tks.

In order to flash custom kernels onto your device you need to unlock your bootloader first.

This guy is right. When it says you have to be rooted... Its not in the sense as root for superuser... Its more the bootloader. Meaning your bootloader has to be unlocked.

Umm unlocked boot loader is like you can put any sim card in right!?

No I think that's sim unlocked. Not for r800x. But not sure if it unlocks sim when you unlock with Sony method with other xplys.

[Q] Verizon Xperia Play r800x

Hi everyone. I completely apologize for this question as I am absolutely new to Android and to unlocking a phone. I just bought a R800x Verizon Xperia Play for the sole purpose of being able to play emulators. I will not be activating it to use as a phone. I have read as much as I can and am still a little confused in regards to being able to unlock the bootloader and install roms.
If the bootloader message says No, am I not able to unlock it or install roms at all?
If it says yes, can I install any rom, or am I limited to what I saw as Cola and a few others?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone help me out. Or can I keep it locked but install cola?

You can.unlock the bootloader I have mine unlocked using sonys unlock method but.if you wish to.stay with a locked bootloader yoj can.install cola but you'll have to.root 2.3.3 install clock work mod.recovery I my.self.am.vefy glad I unlocked my.bootloadef and since yoj habe.no.intentions of using the phone side yoj could install numeruous amounts of gsm roms

Thanks dark.
If I unlock it using that method. I've read the forums. I just need to get flash tool then and pick a rom I want to use. Most roms come with the clockwork recovery from what I'm seeing.

Well all roms have root and superuser your clockwork recovery on the other hand is in the kernels and flashtool is a life saver on so.many levels lol I'm trying to reset mine up since.my.computer crashed and.I went.to a lap top running windows xp home as of right now.I.can flash ftfs, my phone isn't being recognizes for fastboot so ya lol I'm on 2.3.3 stock without root it sucks not having root unlocked bootloader and.not.being able to.flash a kernel lol
