Hi guys
I want to install cyanogenmod, but i read that i have to unlock the bootloader, but i bought my phone some weeks ago and dont want to lose the warranty.
Is there a new way to install a rom with a locked bootloader?
When not, can someone tell me good roms for my phone?

to unlock bootloader even if you lose warranty ...yes this is possible for your phone
in fact for certain releases of these phone models :
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ PLAY
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ arc
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ arc S
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ neo
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ neo V
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ pro
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ mini
Sony Ericsson Xperia ™ mini pro
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ ray
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ active
Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman™
Sony Xperia™ S
Sony Xperia™ P
Sony Xperia™ U
Sony Xperia™ sola
to unlock bootloader proceed with the first step at Sony site
you have to flash a stock-based ROM if you do not want to unlock bootloader
this case is the same- you lose warranty
look here for stock-based ROMs
never flash a ROM not made for your phone
that means, that i CANT install cyanogenmod with a locked bootloader?

yes you get the point !
I understand your frustration
but there are plans to release an official ICS for this phone check Sony site or by PC Companion
in this case you will never lose warranty and ICS is very good for your... in fact amazing Arc S phone :good:
PS
yes you can flash an unrooted stock-ROM before you send it to service ..
how about if you have a hardware failure ?
Ok... thank you :good:
But arconium (stock-based rom) also recomendeds Unlocked bootloader.
The point why i dont have to root my phone is that i can flash back to an unrooted firmware and then i think the support wont know that i rooted my phone ( i hope so )

I like that you really want Cyanogen on your phone
me to I made a custom rom for my phone here
this rom has Cyanogen Launcher just because I like this OS
nope no chance to have Cyangoen without an unlocked bootloader
there are little chances to find one to work without S-off
It's something about base address of the kernel/protected bootloader/encryption something like this.. You have to assume the risks if you want it !
ok ! thank u very much, u helped me alot :good::good::good:

The xperia play is almost unbrickable. If you download fkashtool and the stock ftf for your phone it can solve most software problems. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184897 this link has everything you need to know about the play. It will link you to guides on how to root and unlock the bootloader. Galaxy s bootloader is already unlocked but sony is different. You must unlock yourself and you cant flash kernel with odin anymore. You must use fastboot. Look at the guides in the thread i linked you to and you should be fine. (My brother has a galaxy s so i know all about flashing it) also before installing a rom make sure its for your version (verizon or gsm/att/tmobile)

Dear all,
I think I have read, that I can flash a Xperia S Kernel on my Acro S. It will work but I will loose external SD Card support - is that right?
Thanks for your answers
Kind regards
NEVER DO THAT!!!!!!
This will hard-brick your phone even though software of S & acro S are similar.

No, it won't brick the device as long as You follow the correct procedure.
Thanks, I will try it as soon as possible
Xperia S and Xperia SL are the same except for their CPU frequencies being clocked at a different speed.
You can use all the methods/mods/roms/kernels of S for SL and vice versa
Thanks guys for the help. I've successfully unlocked the bootloader.
