[Q] Locked Bootloader on R800

Guys,
I would like to install the DoomKernel in my device but, I entered in the sony`s setup in my phone and there says that I cant unlock the bootloader.
The question is:
Is there a way to install the DoomKernel in my device, even if my bootloader is locked?
I've made the root and I already have the CWM installed.
I would like to make a swapp and a little bit overclock
I tried to find this answer in the forum but, I found nothing.
Thank you very much.

First of all what model is it but seeing you can't unlock it's probably a r800x. Anyways, you can't install a kernel with a locked bootloader

And yes, you CAN unlock your model too, you'll need to if you want to install a custom kernel. Try doing some searches and you'll find out how

Unfortunately I think no.
I went to Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. And there is write No. So, I think that my device cannot be unlocked, unless I pay some company to do, right?

Guys,
Just to let you know that I have solved my problem.
I made the bootloader unlock with this server:
wotanserver.com
Worked fine!
Tks.

So .... What's new? I've able to download music info on my unlocked bootloader phone for a few months now. I think we need a move here.

I know that and that makes even less sense. It has always been possible to download music info with a locked bootloader, unless you unlocked your bootloader and relocked it, but in that case there was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...o working again on ICS with ReLock bootloader.
And now there already is an app that works on both. I'm not the only one saying he's months late...

Firstly, your OP doesn't say anything about not requiring root, so there's no reason to shout at us as if that's an obvious difference.
Secondly, if someone is running stock firmware on a locked bootloader and without rooting, the music downloader will work anyway.
I don't want to troll, but you can't go claiming you invented something when it's really nothing new.

Connect your phone to flashtool and click on BLU option, if it shows Relock bootloader then yours is unlocked.

Can't unlock boot loader or flash stock

Hi there,
Has anyone got a way out of this.....
I have a rooted C1905 that I have been playing around with. I want to try CM11 but boot loader unlock fails with a "FAILED (unknown status code)" report after I send my unlock code. I then thought I'd flash back to stock using S.U.S. but that fails too saying that I have a customized rom... which I don't!!! I seem to be stuck! is there anyway to force a stock flash?
Cheers

Have you checked if your bootloader can be unlocked? Go to the dialer, type *#*#7378423#*#* then go to Service info => Configuration. In rooting status, it should say "Bootloader unlock allowed: yes", otherwise it won't work. About your flashing problem, try connecting the phone directly in flash mode before opening SUS, by turning off your phone, holding Volume Down and plugging USB cable or by flashing a FTF file through Flash Tool...

It happened to me also ,check your IMEI CODE,you need to send first 14 digits of your IMEI,

Thanks guys... I've managed to Flash back to stock with flashtool and I'll try the unlock the boot again. (boot unlock = Yes).

Flashed an FTF of the latest but still can't unlock the bootloader. still get "unknown Error" and it wipes my apps.
Also can't use "repair my phone" on PCC as it says I have a Customised Rom, could this be due to me trying tools like flashgordon and debloat/deoxing flashing or routing? if so how can I get back to a stock state for a UK XM so I can start again?

Nope, but try this anyway.
1. Disconnect your phone and turn it off but keep the cable attached
2. Open PCC and go to Update
3. When it says no device found click the blue repair link
4. Choose Xperia M when asked to
5. Follow the instructions
I have a locked bootloader and modified ROM and it works flawlessly. Keep us updated

Hi there,
Thanks for the help, unfortunately it doesn't work! PCC recognises my phone ok so I carried on to the "repair my phone" tab.
and this is what I get after it's downloaded the firmware and tries to flash it...

[Q] recovery locked bootloader

As the title says, I was wondering if it was possible to have recovery without unlocking the bootloader. I know that sony phones have recovery.img unified with boot.img and that is not possible to flash custom kernels with a LB. But on old xperia U there was a way to have recovery without needing to unlock the bootloader.
Thanks in advance
