Hello Guys
I saw this custom rom ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599906
so my question is if I installed this ICS custom rom
and I didn't like it can I back to the original firmware via flashtool ?
and does this custom room needs unlocked bootloader .
Thanks
If its an ICS you will need a kernel, so you will need an unlocked boot loader to flash the kernel, every time you see this rom requires this kernel, you will need an unlocked bootloader

Dont Try this method if it says Bootloader unlock allowed "no"
If it says that, you need to pay, like i did
hiii developers
i m new to this community and want to ask u that i have purchased a Sim Unlocked Sony Erricson Arc S..
and after using stock rom for around two months now i want to root it and install custom roms like CM9...
so i just want to ask that after rooting and installing custom rom my SIM UNLOCK remains unlocked or will it get locked again...
and i have to follow these links to root my phone (as its sim unlocked) or i have to take some precautions...???

thanx in advance
most probably your sim will remain unlocked...if not, you can re-unlock it again....
could you elaborate whether you have an unlocked bootloader....
if you have, you can directly flash a fxp120/130 kernel, boot into recovery and install cm9 directly without having to root your phone (only if your phone is already on 4.0.4)
hit thanks if i helped....

noo i dnt have unlocked bootloader... n my phone is on android 2.3...
Though you have SIM unlocked phone. you will need to unlock bootloader to install custom roms.
You can unlock the boot loader for free by following Sony walkthrough available on the web site just search unlock bootloader Sony phones in Google and follow guides very carefully.
Or you use jinx13 xda member who does this but it's a paid for service.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
go thru sony bootloader unlock website.it will help you in unlocking your bootloader......(if you do it via paid service [test point method] then you will not be able to relock it again)
later download 4.0.4 and flash it on your phone using flashtool...
then, download the cm9 rom and paste it in your sd card
then, download fxp120/130 kernel and flash it on your phone
then, boot into recovery and flash cm9 with the usual steps...
check this out it is a super thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653188

Hi Everybody !
I have sony xperia SL (LT26ii) !
Which recovery tool may be suitable for this handset? I think TWRP is more versatile and user friendly than CWM? And I just want to install TWRP without unlocking bootloader? Is it posible?

You cannot install TWRP on locked bootloader - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38681130&postcount=9
Wrong section.
What about 4ext?

OK, if so what about 4EXT? Can i install that recovery tool without unlocking bootloader?
Why not try this CWM for locked bootloader?

Thank you so much. I had wanted to install either TWRP or 4EXT but this CWM also successfully installed and worked.
