Yes, you can flash ONLY official kernels made by Sony on locked BL.

Is it a requirement of Custom ROMs to flash a Custom Kernal as well or can the stock Kernal be used. I'm using the latest Baseband that was supplied with the ICS update?

Yes, whenever you change ROM you should change the kernel as well. In the thread from the ROM it says which kernel you should use. For example for CyanogenMod you need to use the kernel provided. But there are also kernels which can be used for more than 1 ROM, like DoomKernel

The last time I flashed a custom ROM was on my X8 and it was stock all the way with the Kernal.
Does the boot loader need to be unlocked to flash a new Kernal?

OK. I think I'll stick as I am for now as I really want a vanilla ICS ROM with all hardware working, Software buttons and the hardware back, home & menu button disabled in Android but active in CWM.

It is not that hard to unlock the bootloader. It is way easier than it looks. And it gives you much more options to customize etc. It really recommend to unlock your bootloader

I'll look into unlocking the boot loader when I get in.
Are there any Vanilla ICS ROMs available?

Thanks for the link to the ROM thread. I've subscribed to a couple that look interesting for more attention when I'm on computer.

Could you explain how to unlock bootloader on arc lt15i
When I go into service menu it says bootloader unlock allowed: no
I know jinx13 does it for a fee but are there any other methods?
Thus would be really helpful as I want to use custom Roms but can't find any that work with stock firmware
Cheers
I don't know it when it says bootloader unlock allowed: no
But you can always look it up oj google. Your are probably not the first one with this problem

I was rooting my arc without unlock bootloader, Can I install custom ROM if my arc ICS rooted only ( no unlock bootloader) ?
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
There are a few ROMs that work only with CWM and stock Kernel, but most need unlocked bootloader.
You can flash Stock-based ROMs with a locked bootloader.

JJ hybrid is really nice

I have a similar question. I was able to install CMW recovery into my locked bootloader Arc S.
Does this means I can install custom roms using it? Or to flash custom roms I still need the unlocked bootloader?
Thanks.
Yes scandals if u installed cwm u can install few roms.You can install arconium, all versions of mooded,90.1 works very well,arconiu muiu,jj hybrid rom those are the ones i tested and i can verefy that they are working on a phone with locked bootloader.Make sure you follow the instructions or u will screw your phone and u will have to flash the original ICS rom
are there any custom roms that i can flash on my rooted xperia ion lt28i, i have init.d, root, and cwm, and a locked bootlader

Some people claim the rom can be use even with a locked bootloader...well,it is still under development and contain many bugs in it...

No you can't use cm9 with a locked bootloader as it needs a custom kernel. There are posts-o-plenty on this already, search and use those threads.
Hi. I just got my Xperia S. It's cool and I want to keep it that way with DRM (in case of future reselling) So for now only locked bootloader. I have found some roms for locked BL, know how to root and probably install recovery. That's no problem. The point is, in Xperia P, we can flash kernels in zip in recovery (dunno if it requiers unlocked bl, tried only with unlocked). Do we have zip kernels here too? And if so, then is XS capable of flashing them on locked BL?
And is unlocking bl/rooting and applying tweaks profitable? Will I feel boost?

U can never change/flash kernels on locked bootloader, neither through cwm flashable zips nor fastboot..

All right. Lost drm means only track id, some walkman and bravia engine features lose? Warranty is obvious...

Yes, you will lost this things and of course you will lost your warranty. If you are going to sell it you must say to buyer that your phone doesn't have warranty.

Well,some users reported that after they unlock their bootloader,your BE isn't working...so I think nope...maybe just a software bug....

Thank you so much for your short but informative reply !
I had already said that i installed CWM on locked bootloader (xperia SL LT26ii) !
Now will it be possible to unlock bootloader ?
Or Is it necessary to remove that installed cwm first and unlock the bootloader ?
thanks in advance !
