Bootloader locked - rom options?

Hi all,
I recently learned my arc s bootloader can not even be unlocked even by the paid methods (omnius, setool) . I have rooted it, init.d enabled, cwm on (from system).
My understanding is most of the roms are not an option for me due to locked bl.
Any ideas for roms I could still try?
Thx in advance.

Whys that? You can use any ROM that doesn't require you to install a custom kernel.

There are many of them you can use: Arconium, KA21, MooDeD ICS etc.

Try JJ's HYBRID ROM v3.2 Stable(here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1537717 ) It is very very good l also have a locked bootloader (unlock only paid ) It's like an AOSP ! It is rockstabel ! Or u can use modded ICS 90.5 or 90.4 but not the 90.3 it cause bootloop ! Smoot and fast but j think JJ's Hybrid is the best for Locked BL ! Try it and then you decide what good for you ! J hope j can help for you !!
Daniel D. : Arconium(Recomended Configuration
Unlocked bootloader.), KA21(=Installation instructions== KA Ice Cream Sony users ==
Important! Only for unlocked bootloader)There are ONLY for unlocked bootloader ! or jm wrong ?

Thanks
Thanks for all the answers!!
I will try JJ and arconium today
(i'm so happy there are rom's left for locked bootloader guys like me!!!! )

man jj's rom is by far the best with sony stuff plus aosp fast and the page with nice set of instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1537717

I'm so exited about all the stuff I find here, but sadly I just can't root my phone. Every method does not work for me. I'd love to install these ROMS...

custom rom compatible with locked bootloader
I have an arc s with locked bootloader and hav personally used the following custom rom:
JJ Hybrid Rom 3.1 and 3.2
ThSEGA v3: ive got connectivity issue would have update to v4 but tried ka21 instead
Mooded 90.1, 90.2, 90.3, 90.5: ive encountered battery drain
XdroidPerfectv 2.3.2: got contact sync problem( i think it was solved in an update)
And following Daniel D's info.. I tried KA21 yesterday.
So far, in my opinion the best rom for a locked bootloadet is a toss between JJ and Ka21 since I like the smoothness and stability of jj's rom but missed my sony widgets, thus ka21 is a good alternative for this. Moreover, wifi connectivity in ka21 is more stable while 3G connectivity in jj is more stable although its wifi is also quite good.

Wifi depends mostly on kernel... So jj`s Rom has nothing to with your wifi issues. Secondly, what sony widgets you miss? I have JJ Rom 3.2 and found all widgests in play store, working very well.
I have atached a screenshot of my homescreen... all widgets downloaded from play store... and its more then enough for me !
My recomendation is Sirkay kernel (Xarc) with JJ`s Hybrid Rom 3.2, Baseband 70 (or you can use the BB72 from FXP thread, it works great... the other BB72 available is not so good), and most important : Do a full wipe (including /system).
On JJ`s Thread you will find also a lot of flashable addons (my fav. is nexus boot animation, xperia keyboard, hollo camera mod , and the advanced ICS+ camera with HD and panorama... but there are a lot other mods also).
So, JJ`s Rom is by far the best (and i have tried most of the available Roms).

I know that wifi and battery drain is a kernel issue but if you read my previous I said that I'm still with a locked bootloader so I can't change my kernel to solve my issue. The sony widget I'm talking about is the walkman player because I can only put the walkman shortcut in JJ. The sony app I've missed is the 3D Camera, track ID..(I've already changed to KA21 when JJ added the sony3D camera add on). But the gist of my post is that I'm leaning towards JJ (because of smoothness and stability) but KA21 is a good alternative (because my connection to wifi is more stable) And like you, I tried those roms i've post but keep coming back to JJ, though I'm still with KA21 as of now.
Thanks for the kernel and baseband suggestion, I'll try them once I decide to unlock my bootloader (believe me, I would really love to unlock bootloader to maximize potential of my phone but I'm still not confident in the probability of losing my sony warranty just yet:cyclops: )

Finally some one who uses the Q&A.yes it should support AOKP/CM themes.

I'm thinking test your ROM, but whats is the kernel included in the zip file?
Lupus v11? 3.X Kernel?
The main post said dont work JB Camera (4.2.2). There is other camera app included in ROM (CM camera 4.1.2 perhaps) or we must install other third party camera app.

setup wizard pac-man
Hey I flashed the inkludet kernel and did a full wipe and installed the ROM. The Rom boots but then the Setup Wizard does not respond and I cant set upp my phone. A tested this tvice and then re downloadet the rom but got the same results.Is it only me or are others having the same problem Im comming from a nother JB 4.2.2. rom if that helps. I realy want to try this rom and a realy like your work, been using lupus kernel for a long time now. Thanks

No its nAa kernel as I havent started on a 3.x kernel. Of course there is legacy camera like in cm10 included in the R no need to flash extras.

Others seem to be having no problems. Perhaps its something to do with gapps. I'm assuming you used full gapps. Try the mini or light version of gapps. So long as u done your full wipes I can't see any other reason. Maybe try flash ROM let it boot then go back to recovery and flash gapps.
Edit - OK so apparently light gapps just causes FC'ing I'll link to other gapps when I'm home.

i flashed this ROM with full Gapps in Xperia Arc S, and it's working really fine, until now had twice random reboots, but that's not really a problem to me.
other than that the ROM is awesome. :good:
Q: is it okay if i use Lupus JBv11 Kernel? (qurrently using kernel included in ROM)
thanks in advance

See I'm pretty sure its the kernel giving random reboots. But with LuPuS or Fusion kernel, WiFi and Bluetooth will not work on 4.2.

Hi,
May I also post on the Pro version here? There is no seperate thread for it.
It's my first attempt on a custom rom after using stock ICS. Unfortunately, I found it to be very unstable
My first attempt was Lupus/v21, now I'm on Fusion/v22. Both seem to be highly unstable. Just using apps is normally fine, but a few things seem to provoke lockups including unlocking the screen, listening to music and using the camera.
I did a full wipe before installing (system, cache, dalvik cache, data), I even tried the permissions fix.
Otherwise it seems a great rom, perfect feature set and very fast, but the unstability makes it unusable for me

Yes u can post here also. Comparing any 4.2 ROM to STOCK ICS, stock ICS would be the winner in terms of stability. 4.1 is the best if you want JB IMO. But 4.2 and especially PAC 4.2 has a lot more features, customization amongst other things. It doesn't matter on the kernel its going to be the same. This is why FXP stopped developing after CM10 for the XPERIA 2011 line-up. It will never be 100% stable as will any 4.2 ROM for Xperia 2011.

I don't know what calls you stabillity, but 4.1 is very stable, almost as 4.0. 4.2 isn't stable specially with 3.x kernels, but 4.1 is perfect. And FXP stop the development for 2011 line becase they have to develop for a lot of devices, i think.

I said 4.1 is stable. And no they stopped because without a stable 3.x kernel it would be impossible for a stable 4.2 J. There was no 3.x kernel for 2011 device back then, but even still they knew if there was a 3.x kernel it would need a lot of work to get stable, if it even can.

[KERNEL][ZL][EXPERIMENTAL] UNOFFICIAL DooMKernel {JB}(v13r2)[20130903]

Since DooMLoRD has stopped the development of his great DooMKernel for the Xperia ZL, and after his permission, I'm proud to announce
UNOFFICIAL EXPERIMENTAL DooMKernel for the Xperia ZL​
This is fully based on his original kernel sources at https://github.com/DooMLoRD/android_kernel_sony_apq8064
So, THANKS @DooMLoRD for his awesome job and for letting me build this unofficial release. Please, DO NOT REPORT BUGS IN THIS RELEASE TO DooMLoRD, since this is an UNOFFICIAL and UNSUPPORTED release.
This is an EXPERIMENTAL BUILD which has the following changes over the original one I posted on the other thread:
Built with Linaro GCC 4.7, custom compiled with optimizations for arm-cortex_a15
Compiled with speed optimizations (gcc -O2)
Removed profiling settings (slightly lighter footprint)
Removed debugging settings (slightly lighter footprint)
And other kernel options tweaks
It feels a little snappier to me, although there are no big changes in benchmark tools like AnTuTu (as you should know, benchmarks are not good for measuring the "real-world" user experience). I've been testing these builds for several days now, and haven't found any issues. But YMMV, report any issues you find with this experimental build that are absent in the original build (so I know it's related to this build).
You can follow the original thread for current DooMKernel at the Xperia Z forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172888. There you will find all the features of the current release, and discuss specific issues specific to this kernel.
The releases are for STOCK JELLYBEAN 4.2.2 firmwares. Currently tested only on 10.3.1.A.0.244.
>>>>>>>> Download EXP v13r2 for Xperia ZL: ZL-UNOFFICIAL-EXP-DooMKernel-v13r2.zip - 7.33 MB (build date Sep-03-2013)

General instructions and recommendations
As with previous releases, to install this kernel simply flash the zipfile in recovery.
MY RELEASE DOES NOT INCLUDE RECOVERY. You can use XZDualRecovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606 from @[NUT].
I recommend you first BACKUP THE FOLLOWING DIRECTORIES:
Code:
/system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima
/system/lib/modules
Because the kernel includes new WLAN firmware and modules, and in case you want to go back to stock kernel, you can just flash the old kernel and restore your backups.

Been working great for me since release.

2 threads for one kernel? I'm sure if you combinate the experimental and release thread it's much better for orientation. People don't have to grab in 2 threads to find things they want.
Anyway thanks for your work to keep our zl up to date!

Well indeed this is something I considered when posting this experimental build. It has its pros and cons. I went with the option of creating a new thread to avoid cluttering the original one and possibly confusing users with so much information in one place (most users don't fully read a long OP). Since this is a different build which should take much less attention than the original one, I think it's better as a separate thread.
BTW, I'll try to release v15 for you guys today.

First of all, wrong section.
Now to your question, openSEMC or the AOSP one if you want aosp based ROM, the AOSP one is claimed to be more stable, but with lesser option. If you want stock based, then there is only a few to choose from. Personally i will say go with aosp based, but its up to you. Paranoid is a nice one as well, all AOSP based ROM shares same bug as in openSEMC

AOSP/OpenSEMCis out of the question with locked bootloader. You have to stick to stock based rom.
Difference between AOSP and OpenSEMC is customization. You can't flash these roms unless you unlock your bootloader.

Firstly - Please, please post in the appropriate section. This is a development thread and not the place for such posts.
Secondly - Do some research yourself, read all the threads , you'll surely find what you are looking for.
Thirdly - If you are locked bootloader, forget about all the CyanogenMod or AOSP ROM's. There's just one CM10 ROM that works on locked bootloader. This is because you can't change the kernel on locked bootloader's
And last - Google all your doubts. Google is your friend. You'll get answers a lot more quicker.

I think it's wrong section for this.move thread to General Q.

miui works with locked bootloader,i saw it.but it have plenty of bugs.so i am gonna stick with stock rom. so sad..

In my opinion, stock is the best. Just came back from OpenSEMC KitKat. Rayman's ROM is great for sure, however, the user interface is a bit laggy and it's quite buggy.
So there's no need to be sad at all.

When you mention AOSP, you mean this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273821 ?

If you looking for a stock based rom then there are many Trinity, MIUI, etc or else you can try PAC 4.1.2 or PAC 4.2.2 which is also stable enough..

Go through the custom ROM's, check out screenshots, features and bugs. Read the instructions, and search!! Follow this and then if You have any problem, ask it here. Kindly do not expect someone to spoon feed You.
As for MIUI, I don't think it has been updated lately(somebody correct Me if I'm wrong). You can also go for Existenz or Honami Style.
Next time mention what is Your current state, like if You are rooted, bootloader unlocked, which ROM You are on currently, recovery is intalled or not etc.

I tried several rom's, but i think The Carbon Rom is the best.
It's ultra fast, super stable, and has alot of features.
