No problem. Although if you lock it you will have to unlock it again to flash another rom/kernel and unlocking it wipes your phone so its just as easy to leave it unlocked.
don't re-lock it. You'll wipe your device unlocking it again. Just leave unlocked there's no reason not to.
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.

Ok I have rooted and flashed cwm recovery now I want to flash a new rom but if found out its not as easy as usual i don't get it plz help

Have you unlocked your boot loader? or is it locked?
You need to start there.. If you installed the CWM for locked bootloaders it will not help you as you can not install a new kernel.
How do I find out?

Lol, i unlocked my bootloader and i havent paid for it. You just need to know if bootloader is unlockable. And if you dont know what to do, i wouldnt recommend it to you doing it.

try to use fastboot if it let's you flash a kernel then it's unlocked
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk 2
I dont think mine can be unlocked I did the dial thing to make that menu to pop up but theres no menu for root
Sent from my R800at using Tapatalk 2
Or does the fact that its not activated have anything to do with it? I have no service just wifi
Sent from my R800at using Tapatalk 2
Flashing bootloader have nothing to do with phone activation i thnk..
One thing for sure is u need unlocked BL to flash kernel for cwm9

Yea I get that I don't think I can unlock it like I said I looked to see if it could and I'm missing the root settings in that pop up menu

Goto the Phone Application and type in:*#*#7378423#*#*
Then tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If: Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes, then you can Unlock your bootloader. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked
Please Press the THANK YOU Button, if it helped you )
It doesent give me the root status option

Can any one direct me to the roms for locked bootloaders plz
Sent from my R800at using Tapatalk 2
lets not make it more complicated then it is
1 if you dont know if you bootloader is unlocked its NOT !. you need to unlock it first before you move on from here ! once that is done you move on to step 2 .
2 if you have CMW flashed. then when you turn on your phone Click the volume up button untill it boots in to recovery. once ther you can flash CM9.
if you have the GMS version you can do it your self directly from sony's website. Not sure about verizon and other CMDA versions.

Ps. Remember to put CM9 zip you Downloaded on the root of the SD card. otherwise you cant ofcause not flash it.

not neccesarily as it could be preowned or the service menu apk removed or various other things.
also wrong, you can only unlock gsm sim unlocked and a few locked ones not all gsm phones.

My phone didn't have the root status menu but i was still able to unlock my bootloader
Hello everyone,
after using FreeGee to unlock the bootloader of my E975 I have the Nexus 4 bootloader (makoz10i) on my device.
I was just wondering if I could flash the latest version of this bootloader - makoz20i - without messing everything up.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin
