Hello. Sadly, mine Arc S is not unlockable. So my question is can I install jellybean on it?
Also I googled this but the data is old.....is there a mod to make this great phone record in 1080p?
jb custom roms are still in alpha/beta stages so upgrading to them from your locked bootloader wouldnt be great.
try out custom ICS roms by diffrent devs there are many in dev section. many of them even work on unloacked bootloaders. subsequently you can shift to aokp fxp jb roms with more stable releases .
Phones with locked bootloaders can only use ROMs that are stock based... that means that you would need Sony to release JB stock ROMs first... which they have announced they won't, so, just like my Xperia Pro with locked bootloader, we won't have a JB ROM.
On the other hand, there are some great ICS ROMs out there that can be flashed on phones with locked bootloader that feature a lot of JB system apps, they are great, you should try them... they are far better than stock ROMs anyway

Hello,
I'm new to rooting/modding/roms, and I wanna install the awesome Ultimate HD rom on my locked, unrooted Xperia Arc LT15i:
Gingerbread
Android Version: 2.3.4
Build: 4.0.2
I don't know where to start.
The page of the Ultimate HD rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920207) says:
- For Unlocked Bootloaders: Flash the Recomnend Kernels; Adv. Stock Kernel
- For Locked Bootloaders: Root your phone using this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683957
I don't think I gotta start with this page ^
I wanna unlock the bootloader, that's step 1 I think (via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034087)
But what's the best way to root and make my Arc ready to install the Ultimate HD rom?
I saw some pages like this about rooting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133650 & http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874801
But I don't know which one is good and which Kernel I gotta use to go from:
Xperia Arc unrooted 2.3.4, 4.0.2
to
rooted, unlocked with the Adv. Stock kernel Ultimate HD rom.
Do I have to install the official ICS update first on my Arc?
(Sorry if this is the wrong section for this topic/question but I don't know exactly where to post it, I'm new here)
Good afternoon!
Since I locked bootloader (bootloader unlook: NO), and as yet there is no way to unlock.
Is there any alternative rom, better than the original that can be installed through flashtools?
You can only install official ROMs on locked boot loader devices

Official based roms. There are quite a few in the development forum
Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S
try KA´s ROMS ... im now using KA08 GB because of gta vice city and its very smoth
XTXperience, Xperia SSpeed are stock based roms, you can install them using root + CWM. You can check some guides to root your phone and install a CWM recovery in the development forum.
Hi, I have a rooted xperia arc s (ics 4.0.4 [4.1.B.0.587]) i rooted it using the following guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219711
and my bootloader is locked. so my question is that can I flash custom roms without unlocking unlocking my bootloader, and if I can then how? or if I can't then how can i solve the problem?
please make your answer noob-friendly.
thank you in advance
I think you can install rom specifically made okay with locked bootloader try see development threads
you can't install custom kernel with locked bootloader through afaik

You can install Stock based ROMs such as Ultimate HD (most famous ICS custom ROM) or any other Ice Cream Sandwich based ROM. This means you can't install Jelly Bean, but look on the dev forums for [ICS] or [.587], there are a lot that even do have the jellybean statusbar and stuff like that. :3
