[Q] R800x Questions with Root/Roms/CWM

So I've rooted my R800x using the zergrush method just fine. I haven't unlocked the bootloader because I don't want to lose my warranty. I want to find some CDMA Roms for the R800x, but I can't seem to find any that will work with the stock kernal or with a locked bootloader. I can access recovery mode by using this method:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390771
My questions are: 1.Is there a way to flash a CDMA rom to the R800x with a locked bootloader?
2. If it is possible to flash a CDMA rom, is it possible to do it using this recovery method?
Thanks in advance for any help

Since the only R800x ROMS require a custom kernel, you don't have any options. But it is possible to flash them.

So to get a custom kernel I would need an unlocked bootloader, Correct?

I just used SuperOneClick. It's very easy!

That just roots. It doesn't unlock the bootloader.
To the OP, the R800x bootloader can only be unlocked with a paid solution. But there are several ROMs you can try without unlocking the BL. Look at the sticky threads in Questions & Answers for more information.

CWM recovery method is the only way to root this ROM but it works with bootloader unlocked phones only. I have locked one.

.62 can't be rooted yet. To have rooted .62 you need to root .42 then upgrade ota, but depends on your provider...

But can you give step by step TUTORIAL or a video guide?

Basically, start with stock .42, which you're on just now I presume. Read and use the files here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582 and then check for updates on the phone(ota). If you use pc companion then you'll lose root. Basically, if you want to keep root then you may find you need to stay on .42(it depends on your region/provider if it's available). If you want .62 firmware then it's not rootable yet.

[Q]Custom rom and warranty

Hi! I'm new to android and this forum so I have some questions before I start flashing roms and tweaks. I have a rooted r800i locked bootloader.
1.If I flash a custom rom(Gin2JellyBean) will I still have warranty if i flash back .42 on my r800i?
1b.If I still have warranty after flashing Gin2JellyBean where can I get the stock rom?
2.If I brick my play is it any way I can restore it?
3.Can sony pc companion detect the play with a custom rom?
Thanks!

Yes.
Unless your bootloader is unlocked, your warrenty is valid.
1b.If I still have warranty after flashing Gin2JellyBean where can I get the stock rom?

From development section or Wotan (a windows program).
2.If I brick my play is it any way I can restore it?

Yes.
3.Can sony pc companion detect the play with a custom rom?

Yes.

You require root to flash gin2jelly so you will lose warranty however flashing back to stock will unroot phone so you will have warranty back
And se phones gets soft brick most of the times and are easily recoverable but if you get hard brick there is a fix for that too and its free
Except your sim is locked.
And pc can detect your phone with custom rom installed

I will flash Gin2JellyBean tonight. Because my mom took wrong phone for work this morning -.-

type this keypad *#*#7378423#*#* and under bootloader see if it is bootloader unlock allowed :"Yes"
if its YES then you can unlock your bootloader bro
Note: Unlocking bootloader makes you loose your warranty but still you can relock it back
You can root your device even if it is Bootloader Locked or Unlocked..
try it out and search in google bro you'd find better solutions than mine :good:

For rooting .42 firmware and below use Zergrush method by Doomlord (file named DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip )
For rooting .62 firmware and above use Eroot (it's in chinese, but is easy to understand)
No need for unlocking bootloader, this is just for root stock firmware
