Is there a possibility that some dev is planning to make a CyanogenMod for Xperia M that bootloader cannot be unlocked?
I am asking this because there are already available solutions for other (more popular I guess) devices.
Thanx

Im pretty sure that's impossible on this device

it's impossible,because you have to unlock BL in order to have the CWM...you must have CWM to flash cm11

Hi to all I just got my new Xperia Arc today.
I already read some threads regarding rooting and unlocking bootloader
i just like to ask if im going to just root my phone using zergrush without unlocking my bootloader. Will is it be possible to install Custom Roms if bootloader is lock but the device is rooted?
No you can't..you have to unlock it..arc has good ROM right? Why are you so hurry....just use it at least
One month
Xperian using xda app

Im using rooted ICS desire S before, but the camera is not working well so i decided to sell the unit and bought ARC.

no i don't think so....
I am using ics camera not working...but i don't bother because its x8..camera is not good..so no need to consider it..
Xperian8~ click thanks if it helps...

Is it a requirement of Custom ROMs to flash a Custom Kernal as well or can the stock Kernal be used. I'm using the latest Baseband that was supplied with the ICS update?

Yes, whenever you change ROM you should change the kernel as well. In the thread from the ROM it says which kernel you should use. For example for CyanogenMod you need to use the kernel provided. But there are also kernels which can be used for more than 1 ROM, like DoomKernel

The last time I flashed a custom ROM was on my X8 and it was stock all the way with the Kernal.
Does the boot loader need to be unlocked to flash a new Kernal?

OK. I think I'll stick as I am for now as I really want a vanilla ICS ROM with all hardware working, Software buttons and the hardware back, home & menu button disabled in Android but active in CWM.

It is not that hard to unlock the bootloader. It is way easier than it looks. And it gives you much more options to customize etc. It really recommend to unlock your bootloader

I'll look into unlocking the boot loader when I get in.
Are there any Vanilla ICS ROMs available?

Thanks for the link to the ROM thread. I've subscribed to a couple that look interesting for more attention when I'm on computer.

Could you explain how to unlock bootloader on arc lt15i
When I go into service menu it says bootloader unlock allowed: no
I know jinx13 does it for a fee but are there any other methods?
Thus would be really helpful as I want to use custom Roms but can't find any that work with stock firmware
Cheers
I don't know it when it says bootloader unlock allowed: no
But you can always look it up oj google. Your are probably not the first one with this problem

Contact with T-mobile to unlock the bootloader. You might have to pay for it.
If you can't, you only have the options for locked bootloader ROMs. CWM is there as well with many mods
Hit THANKS if I helped.

Give a try. Go to Sony website to find the official guide to unlock bootloader.

Hello friends, good morning!
I have a xperia s with 2.55 Firmwares with locked bootloader. And, finally, I managed to make root through this process:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39498268
I would change the official rom
What do you recommend me?
With the locked bootloader, is it possible for me to put some 4.1 or 4.2?

You cannot install 4.1 or 4.2 ROMs on locked boot loader for now. Sorry. Check the development section for a list of roms that work on locked bootloader. We are not allowed to tell which ROM is the best so you will have to try it for yourself. Sorry again.

Thank you so much for your short but informative reply !
I had already said that i installed CWM on locked bootloader (xperia SL LT26ii) !
Now will it be possible to unlock bootloader ?
Or Is it necessary to remove that installed cwm first and unlock the bootloader ?
thanks in advance !
