Hello members of XDA I've been having some trouble with my Xperia Play R800a, Locked bootloader, A few days ago I was trying to install a rom and after it sent me into a bootloop, I was not able to get into CWM from there so I opened up the flashtool and tried getting it back to factory settings, now I can boot it up just fine, but when I try putting CWM through x-parts or cwm installer nonthing is coming up after I try to get into CWM
Was that ROM for unlocked bootloaders or locked? What is the name?

It was the Ice Cream Pureness ROM, I believe it was for both locked and unlocked bootloaders

You have to unlock your bootloader because that ROM requires you to flash a custom kernel.
The thread explicitly states you need an unlocked bootloader, yet you still have to ask?

Eh, maybe a bit harsh. In OP's defense, most of the talk around here about bootloader unlocking is concerning ICS ROMs. Probably just wanted to make sure since that ROM is based on stock.
Actually the rom might work witn unlocked boot loader, check out the 54 page

Use stock kernel and you'd be fine.
Does that mean if I am running stock Verizon I will be fine?

Correct. Correction you should stick with Verizon's 2.3.3 rom and you will be fine.

Use CWM to flash ROMs. Use Fastboot to flash kernels.
So that's a yes?

But that requires you to flash a custom kernel, which I can't because I don't an unlocked bootloader.

Yea I realized that afterwards that's why I edited my post. And yes it will work. But if you wanted the .145 you could just use the darforest ver.

Just a quick confirmation, I can flash this in CWM? As you can see, Im a huge noob

Yes...be sure you do a backup first. Since you stated you are on 2.3.3 you'll be OK.

Hey guys can anyone tell me how to install cwm in my xperia ion.i recently rooted my jb with locked bootloader.
Sent from my LT28h using xda premium
Doomlord is working on that to make one for us. Right now there is no way for those who has Locked Bootloader to get CWM (including me). So we just can wait. If u want something to install, maybe u can just copy it straight away to system and change the permission.

In my case, when i installed CWM @ locked bootloader .55 FW, the CWM didn't work properly. So I suggest you to unlock bootloader & flash doomkernel which is pre loaded with CWM and TWRP.

Pushing the files to the system and changing the permissions is hectic than flashing through recovery. If any error happens it can result in unexpected accidents.
You can unlock the boot loader (u will lose bravia engine) and flash a custom kernel using flash tool.
In the development section you can find some cool kernels with build-in recovery.
If You don't want to unlock , then wait for someone to make a recovery for phones with locked boot loaders.
I need some help!
Everytime when im trying to install through CWM any Kernel i getting a "Dead" phone. After flashing the phone never come up!
I have Sony Xperia Acro S + stock JB 200 + root + CWM.
I also tried with stock JB 96 and JB 211...
Everytime before flashig im wiping partition and dalvik...smt data also!
Whats wrong? Any ideas?
Is your bootloader lock or unlock? If you want to install custom kernel you need to unlock your bootloader...

Hi everyone. I completely apologize for this question as I am absolutely new to Android and to unlocking a phone. I just bought a R800x Verizon Xperia Play for the sole purpose of being able to play emulators. I will not be activating it to use as a phone. I have read as much as I can and am still a little confused in regards to being able to unlock the bootloader and install roms.
If the bootloader message says No, am I not able to unlock it or install roms at all?
If it says yes, can I install any rom, or am I limited to what I saw as Cola and a few others?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone help me out. Or can I keep it locked but install cola?
You can.unlock the bootloader I have mine unlocked using sonys unlock method but.if you wish to.stay with a locked bootloader yoj can.install cola but you'll have to.root 2.3.3 install clock work mod.recovery I my.self.am.vefy glad I unlocked my.bootloadef and since yoj habe.no.intentions of using the phone side yoj could install numeruous amounts of gsm roms

Thanks dark.
If I unlock it using that method. I've read the forums. I just need to get flash tool then and pick a rom I want to use. Most roms come with the clockwork recovery from what I'm seeing.

Well all roms have root and superuser your clockwork recovery on the other hand is in the kernels and flashtool is a life saver on so.many levels lol I'm trying to reset mine up since.my.computer crashed and.I went.to a lap top running windows xp home as of right now.I.can flash ftfs, my phone isn't being recognizes for fastboot so ya lol I'm on 2.3.3 stock without root it sucks not having root unlocked bootloader and.not.being able to.flash a kernel lol

I want detailed steps of installing cwm
Coz i hv googled loads of forum bt i'm very confused aftr seeing dem i want any1 of u to share xct method of installing cwm
Thnks in advnce!!
1) Unlock your bootloader, Google 'Sony unlock bootloader' for this.
2) Install a custom kernel with CWM built in, you will need flashtool for that.
That is the only way you can install CWM, it is not available for locked bootloaders.

Before unlocking bootloader (if it's allowed on your device) backup the ta partition
