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

R800at user need some info?

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

Yes there are a couple. Search and you will find them. Bin4ry's method and a prerooted CWM flashable rom are two of the ways to do it with locked bootloader.

Will I lose Sony warranty after rooting and not unlocking bootloader

No you can always flash back to stock wiping away root.

Ion .96 firmware

Whats the difference in ub and lb? I am thinking to install. 96 firmware for ion but want to be sure of what am I doing...
Sent from my LT28h using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

UB: Unlocked Bootloader
LB: Locked Bootloader
When you unlock your bootloader you will be able to flash custom kernels but you will void your warranty..

Okay..thanks bro that was simple
