[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.

You have to unlock your bootloader because that ROM requires you to flash a custom kernel.

The thread explicitly states you need an unlocked bootloader, yet you still have to ask?

Eh, maybe a bit harsh. In OP's defense, most of the talk around here about bootloader unlocking is concerning ICS ROMs. Probably just wanted to make sure since that ROM is based on stock.

Actually the rom might work witn unlocked boot loader, check out the 54 page

Use stock kernel and you'd be fine.

Does that mean if I am running stock Verizon I will be fine?

Correct. Correction you should stick with Verizon's 2.3.3 rom and you will be fine.

Use CWM to flash ROMs. Use Fastboot to flash kernels.

So that's a yes?

Yea I realized that afterwards that's why I edited my post. And yes it will work. But if you wanted the .145 you could just use the darforest ver.

Just a quick confirmation, I can flash this in CWM? As you can see, Im a huge noob
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app

Yes...be sure you do a backup first. Since you stated you are on 2.3.3 you'll be OK.

It would just stop at step 7, it wouldn't do anything after that.

You can flash superuser.zip in recovery if you unlock your bootloader. why do you say you cant?

The 'bootloader unlock allowed: yes' doesnt always ahow up. It depends on the android version and some other things. Anyway, if it shows no value for it or it even doesnt show up at all, it means you cannot unlock you BL, not at least by IMEI code method. It is possible through a paid method by alejandrissimo, a well known and trusted member of xda. Just take a look on unlock-bootloader.com (maybe its free now, I dont know)
For unrooting, you should try flashtool (zerg-rush), or the unroot tool, maybe they work on r800at

[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

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.
