In order to flash custom kernels onto your device you need to unlock your bootloader first.

This guy is right. When it says you have to be rooted... Its not in the sense as root for superuser... Its more the bootloader. Meaning your bootloader has to be unlocked.

Umm unlocked boot loader is like you can put any sim card in right!?
No I think that's sim unlocked. Not for r800x. But not sure if it unlocks sim when you unlock with Sony method with other xplys.

A month or two ago I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my R800X on 2.3.2. Ever since 2.3.3 has came out, I've wanted to update, but I cannot due to my bootloader being unlocked. Thanks to some very helpful instructions by a fellow XDA member, I did the instructions to relock my bootloader, but I am still rooted. Is that normal? How can I check to see if my bootloader is locked? I really want 2.3.3
You can check it by trying to use fasboot. If your locked, fastboot commands won't work (they'll come back with "you need root first" or something like that). Also, I think you need to do something to get rid of root and put the rom just like it was stock or the install might fail. Might try a factory reset. Good luck!

No if you root your phone that's all that will happen

I think it would be best if you flash your stock firmware to your phone first....as i have seen i lost both root & bootloader unlock after i did so...
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.

Okay, I tried to unlock the bootloader but after that my play didn't boot anymore so I flashed a new firmware. Root acces was no problem but I am not able to install cwm on my phone anymore. I run the script on my pc, there are no errors but I just can't get into the recovery menu. Could this have something to do with my unlocked bootloader? I tried to find out, how to install cwm on unlocked bootloaders, but I did not find something satisfying

Just download cmw installer from the market and install it that way. No computer necessary.

Guys,
I would like to install the DoomKernel in my device but, I entered in the sony`s setup in my phone and there says that I cant unlock the bootloader.
The question is:
Is there a way to install the DoomKernel in my device, even if my bootloader is locked?
I've made the root and I already have the CWM installed.
I would like to make a swapp and a little bit overclock
I tried to find this answer in the forum but, I found nothing.
Thank you very much.
First of all what model is it but seeing you can't unlock it's probably a r800x. Anyways, you can't install a kernel with a locked bootloader

And yes, you CAN unlock your model too, you'll need to if you want to install a custom kernel. Try doing some searches and you'll find out how

Unfortunately I think no.
I went to Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. And there is write No. So, I think that my device cannot be unlocked, unless I pay some company to do, right?
Guys,
Just to let you know that I have solved my problem.
I made the bootloader unlock with this server:
wotanserver.com
Worked fine!
Tks.
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

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
