[Q] Can i instal custom rom's with bootloader locked? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

And i got another question i tried to unlock my bootloader but the light dosen't turn blue why?

Your bootloader could be be locked. (There's multiple threads on the subject).
And there's no real custom rom you can install. Very unfortunate.

Help...in Completing the Kraiser Effect!!!

Hey everyone first of all i would like to thank all of you for all the amazing info. you guys really helped me with unlocking the phone took me almost the hole day as was getting errors but now that's set......the help i need is in firstly answering certain questions .......
1).....Is it true that if I flash my Rom again I dont have to worry about it getting locked again.
2).....When BootLoader Mode shows SPL-1.0 OliPof means I am ready to flash any Rom right? Or should I go through CID unlock.
3).....If I flash my Tilt with an HTC Rom will I still see all those ATT Logo and 3G Splash screen and will I have all those useless ATT software.
4).....If something does go wrong or I dont like the new Rom can I flash back; the reason I ask is because some said that you couldnt. Are there a lot of issues using an OFFICIAL HTC ROM... or have they all been fixed.
5).....Has the Keyboard Issue been fixed yet for the HTC Rom or not.
Thanks,
any answers!!!! anyone

Please don't open new threads only asking questions. Use the Q&A thread instead. Opening new threads is only for contributions to the forum (roms, skins, app, kitchens, etc). I have transferred your question over there. Thanks.

is this possible?

hi guys, quick question is it possible to root without unlocking the bootloader?
cheers i want root to get titanium backup,do a back up then flash a RUU,then install my backups
Not possible RIGHT NOW.
Asked and answered a lot of times.
You should have searched a bit before posting.
Um..... you can root without unlocking the boot loader. You cant flash custom roms without unlocking the bootloader or s-off
Please search before posting new threads. There are plenty of existing threads covering this topic.

Booter Locked, 4.1.4, What are my options?

im sorry for any double threading. im just so lost on this Experia Ion and was hoping someone can point me in the right direction from where i stand with it.
1. Its locked. is there a way to unlock it even though it says Bootloader Unlocked: NO ?
2. what can i do to get any custom rom on it while the bootloader is locked or is that even possible?
3. if that isnt possible, is there a way to get a better firmware version than 4.0.4?
yes i have flashtool working with drivers i already reloaded 4.0.4 stock on it.
main reason im even wondering about any of this, is because when i make calls the MIC on it is muffled horribly. ive read the forums about the Mic rubber Gasket piece so thats my next step. but im wanting to try a newer firmware (hopefully custom) before taking the phone apart . as stated im sorry for double thread posting if there was an answer already, ive been searching for days on the threads and ahvent found much on my questions, but i did attempt my best to answer them myself before ending up here.
There is no way to unlock the bootloader if it is set to unlock = no as far as i am aware.
My only suggestion is to use a custom rom that is based on Stock and works for locked bootloaders. Any of the ROMs in the development section that are marked as LB in the title (for your phone) will work. Full instructions are there. You will need to root and install recovery to install.
Futher info on rooting is here if you haven't already done it.
thank you so much, im so used to samsungs yknow? methods are definitely different with the xperias. thanks for the direction point. i just rooted and setting up recovery i hope this thread helps others who are lost as well
