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.
:good:

Hello guys!,

sorry for newbie question i came from galaxy ace section
dude you are not new to the forum...you have 50+ posts..so you should know that this is the General Section..Questions goes in Q&A Section..
Well the answer to your Q is YES and NO..
you do not need to unlock the bootloader to root and flash few custom ROMs..
but if want to have many options of ROM and custom Kernels then YES..you need to unlock the bootloader.. and unlocking bootloader is highly recommeneded..

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 )!

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

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).

Roms that i used
Hi men you remember me when i start!
First I used FlashTools, to flash .96 Firmware. I felt really well
After that i try with Leopardx 4.9 ROM. I use it 2 or 3 months because i dont like it, had too much bugs in WALKMAN. (but was fast)
Now i wanna use Carbon ROM or NatureExperia Advance.
