This has been said many times... It's not possible because a custom kernel needs to be flashed, and that special partition is locked by the bootloader and cannot be written to when locked.
I c i cant unlock my plays bootloader as testpoints dont register so im stuck on stock 2.3.3 with minimal roms to use

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?

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.

What i mean is if there is a .tft or .ftf for the new beta of ICS cause i dont want to unlock my bootloader. The very reason i have a custom rom is i created multiple method just to have one. For example my Xperia Play as of this moment is running the T.E.A.M Rom w/ default ericson kernel. How did i do that? I used a kernel w/ Superuser and Clockwork then flashed again replacing just the kernel and i was able to use a Rom. Anyway i relly on flashtool to get more w/o unlocking my bootloader, but is there a flashtool process to get the ICS beta working?

u must have unlocked bootloader to use that ics beta..
I guess this means that the flashtool serves no purpose for the xplay beta, better wait for the official w/c doesnt require unlock bootloader.
Btw the other free method w/c uses a pin, i was able to successfully do that. But the dos for fastboot wont continue, that made methink that unlock bootload for me is unsuccess though the tool said mine is unlocked.

why not u unlock bootloader?? u can relock back using flashtool..
Sorry im not really that techy but ill read that relock, cause what i know is that relocking bootloader has its rules and limit, would it be possible to relock after flashing to ICS Beta. ICS w/ safe locked bootloader.

relock bootloder is so easy.. what u need is .ftf file and flash it using flashtool
you cant relock it when using custom rom.. it may brick your device
my suggestion is unlock your bootloader to flash ICS beta and when ICS officially release by sony.. u can relock it back but u must flash the stock rom first to receive that update
It thats really,if my play relock back,im can get the realease update,from sony With the pc companion? Because I just unlock my BL,

Im using gin2jellybean on my once r800at now r800i locked boot loader and everything is perfect, even better than with the stock rom.
not sure though if it works on R800x.

Correct these roms that are listed from this poster do not work with the r800x. You will get a bootloop. Since your bootloader is locked your stuck with what you have. Since you have r800x there is currently no other gb locked roms. Most of the gb locked roms only support the GSM xperia plays.
