No it isn't.
For flashing kernel or recovery your bootloader MUST BE unlocked.

What about overclocking? do i really need the bootloader unlocked? I tried to search but its always negative

You will need bootloader unlocked to overclock because you will need to flash a new kernel.

R800at user need some info?

So I guess my bootloader locked??? Can I unlock it? Also I rooted the phone. Its on 2.3.3. Can I flash roms or I cant til the bootloader is unlocked??? Any info is welcomed

You can flash any stock based roms like dark forest without unlocking the bootloader. You will have to pay certain people on the forums to unlock your bootloader but it can be done. You pay them for the credits used in the unlocking process.

Ok thanks for that info. So you cant flash kernels until you unlock bootloader huh

fastboot flashes the file to the phone
hotboot loads the kernel once only.

So hotboot would be useful to boot a kernel that has a recovery built in?

Yes, that is what it is used for a lot, guessing you still need a unlocked Bootloader though, unsure tbh

GB to ICS OTA?

Is it possible to update to ICS without Windows or Root?
Sent from my Xperia S using Tapatalk 2

Yes, you can, if you have a locked bootloader and run on a stock rom

Thanks
