[Q] Flashing Kernel

Can I flash a kernel on my mobilephone (r800a) rooted/locked bootloader? Is there any other way that I can do it? (Cannot unlock bootloader btw)

You can't. You need an unlocked bootloader for that.

You can. Just look for the ROMs with locked bootloader instructions.

+1 on that, make sure it says for locked bootloaders otherwise, you'll be up **** creek w/o a paddle lol. Look into getting your bootloader unlocked sometime, it's well worth the $24

Might be too late but make sure the ROMs are for CDMA and not GSM if you're on the R800x. Some have CDMA patches you need to flash.

[Q] Void warranty, only root or unlock bootloader or flashing unofficial ?

I want to discuss, Which is void Xperia warranty , Only Root, unlock bootloader, or flashing unofficial ?
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium

Unlocking your bootloader is what voids your warranty. Rooting is fine.
And technically, to flash most custom ROMs, you would need to unlock your bootloader except a few stock based ROMs.

Thanks for own info

[Q] Root and unlock bootloader

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if I am supposed to unlock my Xperia S's bootloader before rooting it. Note that my intention is only to root the device and NOT flashing costumed ROM's.
Thanks in advance.

No you don't. You can Root your device without unlocking the Bootloader.

And if I am using bin4ry's methode?
