Can I flash a kernel on my mobilephone (r800a) rooted/locked bootloader? Is there any other way that I can do it? (Cannot unlock bootloader btw)
You can't. You need an unlocked bootloader for that.

You can only flash stock kernels with locked bootloaders.
To flash a custom kernel,you need to unlock the bootloader first.
Skipping the bootloader and flashing a custom kernel is not possible in Arc,atleast not yet

You can. Just look for the ROMs with locked bootloader instructions.

+1 on that, make sure it says for locked bootloaders otherwise, you'll be up **** creek w/o a paddle lol. Look into getting your bootloader unlocked sometime, it's well worth the $24
Might be too late but make sure the ROMs are for CDMA and not GSM if you're on the R800x. Some have CDMA patches you need to flash.

Sim unlock is completely different from bl unlock. They are done seperately

So if I sim unlock I would still have to pay to unlock the bootloader ?

Yes most probably but first type *#*#7378423#*#* check in configuration> rooting status> bl unlock allowed=
If yes you can unlock it for free
If no ( I think in your case) then you'll have to pay for it

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?

Use CWM to flash ROMs. Use Fastboot to flash kernels.
So that's a yes?

But that requires you to flash a custom kernel, which I can't because I don't an unlocked bootloader.

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.

Probably your bootloader is unlocked.

Connect your phone to flashtool and click on BLU option, if it shows Relock bootloader then yours is unlocked.
