you mean this ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153905
Wouldn't it be good if you posted the same question in that thread ?
Anyways after having had a look, it seems the owner didn't mention that we need an unlocked bootloader,
In the first step in instructions he "recommends" ( not compulsory ) to flash another stock but deodexed rom. I see we can flash that rom on locked bootloader as well.
So in short, you don't need an unlocked bootloader.

what kernel are you using? if you are using stock lupus gb/ics 720 p version you might be using a 420 p setting of recording. it is a known issue

hi i have the stock kernel because my bootloader is not unlocked
sorry for my english xD

Well since you have a r800x I suggest you unlock your boot loader and flash a new kernel

heres the link for the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2210559&page=2
you can also find in the android dev section how to unlock your bootloader

ok but is compatible with r800x, games camera etc and how do i downgrade without relocking my bootloader
edit: i also saw the xdark rom and looks good what rom is the best that it will give full xperia 2011 ics experience with completely funcionality
edit2: ok i have Bootloader unlock allowed missing so how i can unlock my bootloader
sorry for my english

That's not compatible with r800x. Its only for gsm. It'll boot but it wont give you service and if you want camera and game pads you cant install on locked bootloader. Also download an ftf and flash with flashtool to downgrade without unlocking. Check out fma965s guides. They are very helpful and explain how to do everything very well

ok i know, i dont care about service, i only want a ics rom with funcionaly at 100%
with camera and touchpads and how i UNLOCK MY BOOTLOADER WITH Bootloader unlock allowed missing
and i ask of how to downgrade without RELOCKING bootloader, no UNLOCKING
edit: ok i dont care if it is an ics or, jb or gb rom I ONLY WANT A FIX FOR CAMERA ON DIXPERIA 2 OR XPERIA NXT ROM OR TA GB ROM WITH A LOCKED BOOTLOADER
edit2k i have unlocked my bootloader so can someone please give a tutorial of how to install the xdark ics rom, i have r800x with 2.3.3

Do not install ANY GSM GB roms they are incompatable to the R800x you will get a black screen instead of a home screen. You can only install ics and jb roms. but that requires a unlocked bootloader. If you dont have your bootloader unlocked your stuck with what you have.

Actually you can install gsm gb roms and flash xdarkmarios patch right afterwards and it'll boot fine but no service ofcourse

yes i flashed several gsm roms with darkmario pathc and all works excpt the video recording in high or youtube high (it works in the other modes)

ok i cant find any fix to video recording or any good roms (due to that all the roms for r800x are themed stock roms and my bootloader is locked) so i will stay in stock rom with my own adds
sorry for my english

There is now way to install any 4.2.2 based rom on Locked Bootloader . You need to unlock it !
On Locked BL you can only install stock or stock based rom (GB or ICS like Ultimate HD and X-gamer )!

Thank you for everything. No worries

Its not possible to run 4.2.2 in locked bootloader coz stock ICS kernel cannot run Jelly bean so if u want to use 4.2.2 then unlock your bootloader

Not if phone is using newer type of security, that occurs if phone is manufactured after 12W11 (11th week of 2012).

[Q] Please help me about Xperia M CWM and ROM flashing

Hi,
My bro owns Xperia M and wanted to install CWM / TWRP on it so he can flash custom ROM. I want to help him but I don't want to unlock it's bootloader. Can you please link me to threads where I can get CWM for locked bootloaders and flash rooted custom ROMs?
If this is not possible at all then please link me to bootloaders unlocking thread and kernel threads, I am just not willing to take risk as it is not my handset.
Thanks...

Hi, currently there is no CWM for locked bootloader, it is all for unlocked bootloaders. You will have to unlock the bootloader (you can find out how to do that if you search the forums) and then install a custom kernel (again, search the forums).

[Q] Custom roms for people with locked bootloader

So as the thread says, this is a single question: I've been a Cyanogenmod user for many years, and now that I have an Xperia ZL with locked bootloader, I want to know what options I have for custom roms. I've tried MIUI but haven't found other roms to try.

sorry ignore. wrong post

Also wondering this. Every time I try to flash omni or cm with twrp or philz for locked bootloaders my phone bricks and I need to recover it with xperia tools.

you need unlocked bootloader to install custom roms/kernels.

Locked bootloaders cannot flash ROMs which depend on a different kernel (such as Cyanogenmod). Bad luck for us, bro.

Yes, but which ROMs are there available for us, unfortunate locked bootloader users?

eXistenZ is nice. try looking in the "Xperia ZL Android Development" section. look at the titles of each thread. look for ones that start something like this:
[ROM][LB][UB]
simply put, it means its a rom ([ROM]) for locked bootloaders ([LB]} and unlocked bootloaders ([UB])
those are the ones you can use.

Thanks mate, I'll take a look
