I unlocked the bootloader, then installed a new firmware rom afterwards. Does the bootloader stay locked? Or do you have to unlock it every time? Cheers!
It stays unlocked next time post this in Q&A forum please

Hey.
I am completely new to Sony xperia, i always used samsung phones. I am not a noob, but i need help with xperia.
I got an arc s lt18i, i rooted it and was than looking around for cwm.
I never ever had locked bootloader, so that was new to me too.
I tried installing ICS / jb mix rom.
I did exactly what was said, but i bricked it.
So reflashed and all oké now.
Now's my question: can someone explane a bit about how to do basic things and good / easy to install ROMs?
I already bricked my phone twice today
Thanks

I think you are missing kernel. If the phone is stuck on bootscreen its the kernel.
Theres a lot of threads, news guide at the general thread. All rom threads have a install guide too.

I have nothing of worth to offer, but welcome to the community hope you are, despite the mentioned issue, enjoying the arc!
trust me, xperia won't be bricked so easily as the samsung device. xperia has the best flashtool to reflash back phone back to stock than the odin can do to revive a bricked galaxy tab.
Unless you unlock bootloader you can only install stock based roms that don't need a custom kernel.
try pureness Rom, this is ok for locked bootloader.

Yes you need to download a Original GB rom for your device and flash that rom using flashtool.

I was thinking more at a custom GB rom...With custom kernel and all that ...
Yes you can do that and questions dont belong to general section.next time post your question to the ques and ans section.

Thanks for the quick answer...
Do not post questions in general section. Post questions in Q/A Thread.
Read theses following threads:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963961
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072025
And Check the Development section for ROMs/Kernels. Read the ROM descriptions, users review and try out by your self.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1518
Before Flashing a custom GB ROM you need to be in a Stock based GB ROM first. Which you can do it using flashtools. For all the instructions- read the threads i mentioned above.

U can't unlock your bootloader because no one find a solution and still a work in progress. You can install cwm and flash stock based roms. Check Xperia S android development section.
One more thing, don't ask questions in general section.

I know it shouldn't be posted in general section but I really want to know: why would some ppl got devices with no allowance to unlock bootloader?
Is it a random condition or something...?

No, it's because of network providers who ask Sony to do that. Those who bought mobiles as contract(pay monthly) have their bootloader locked and unable to unlock anywhere. Only Sony can do that :screwy:

Yeah, sorry. I do want to help you on this but asking for the best ROM is not allowed.
You can go to the Development section to try a few KK ROMs.
You just need to lookout for (4.4) in thread name.
