No it isn't.
For flashing kernel or recovery your bootloader MUST BE unlocked.

So I guess my bootloader locked??? Can I unlock it? Also I rooted the phone. Its on 2.3.3. Can I flash roms or I cant til the bootloader is unlocked??? Any info is welcomed

You can flash any stock based roms like dark forest without unlocking the bootloader. You will have to pay certain people on the forums to unlock your bootloader but it can be done. You pay them for the credits used in the unlocking process.
Ok thanks for that info. So you cant flash kernels until you unlock bootloader huh

You can't root 587 directly. You have to downgrade to an earlier version of firmware to do so, and then flash a 587 kernel to get it back to the most updated firmware (therefore keeping root).
Flash this, root with this (by running the runme.bat file), and then flash this
Good luck!

You have to use flashtool to flash firmwares/kernels onto your phone. Here's a tutorial on how to do it.

Did you tried sony offical unlock? If you can't either, I think there's nothing you can do.
[I saw some website (don't remember the url) that claimed that you could unlock it via imei codes, but it was pretty expensive (€ 49,00)... Plus I'm not sure if this was for carrier or bootloader unlock.]

should be carrier.
At this Sony thingy where I can check if my BL is unlockable or not it says "No". So I can't flash any unofficial kernels.

BE will not work after BL unlock.
CustomRom not possible without BL unlock.
Thats all.
just u should backup ur DRM keys befor unlocking .. cuz unlocking will lose ur keys forever .. so if u backup it u can relock ur bootloader by restore the keys only ^_^
