Nope, you can't, to flash a custom ROM you must have Unlocked bootloader, or else you'd be stuck into a bootloop.

[Q] eXistenZ v2 Error 7

Hi guys i have a problem when I instaling the eXistenZ v2 on LT26. I rooted my phone i have recovery and when i install a rom have error nr 7 in revovery, any ideas?
Flash the kernel file from the rom itself
Try flashing the kernel from the rom itself bro this works most of the time Extract it first from the zip file of the ROM you want to install then install the kernel usually it is the boot.img file Flash it via fastboot mode using flashtool then voila you have the kernel of the ROM you want to use and most of the time the recovery comes with it too :good:

Are You on stock firmware? Existenz requires You to be on stock 6.2.b.1.96 firmware. Also, You have to flash v1 and then flash v2, not the v2 directly.

Do check, this ROM is stock based, so it doesn't have a separate kernel.
I flashed witth stock 6.2.b.1.96, and try to flash V1 witch recovery v6.0.3.0 but still error ''Error in /sdcard/xperia_s_existenz_v1.zip (status 7)'' Maybe try with other kernel?

Huh, weird. Just to verify, could You try downloading the v1 again? Or else, do You have a unlocked bootloader? If yes, then You can flash the DoomKernel.
Yes, i downloaded rom again, and i have lock bootloader witch no posibly to unlock 'allowed-no'' something like this, but this rom can be flash without unlocked bootloader.

Well, since You have a locked bootloader, You can't flash other kernels. Try this recovery, If even this one doesn't work, then try going back to full stock(no root, no recovery) and root using DoomLord's method and try above recovery again as it had worked for Me earlier.

This is waaaay late but, may help someone.
As I understand it, this is an issue with the kernel/recovery you have. You need to flash a boot.img with a combined kernel/recovery that is compatible with the rom you wish to flash. You use fastboot for that:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
So, for official CM11, grab boot.img from the rom zip file and you should get (a rather old but fine for CM11) CWM recovery.
For many other Acro S (hikari) roms you find - e.g. @deedwar's BeanStalk - you will get TWRP recovery if you flash the included boot.img file.
Once you've got the kernel/recovery flashed, then you flash the full rom after the reboot.

I think You didn't notice, but He said He has locked bootloader. So He cannot follow the procedure You mentioned.

Yes, this is for unlocked bootloader only.
Just noticed OP mentions a locked bootloader in a later post.

[Q] Rooted stock recovery

hi is it possible to gain root access but I dont want to have a custom recovery for future update I just need root access

thank you but I need only the stock recovery for future updates
That's why i said, boot the custom recovery and not flash the custom recovery. Booting it won't flash the custom one so it stays on after a reboot.
You need a custom recovery to root the rom. You can't do it without !

[Q] Xperia Z1c has no recovery

Hi
My problem is that it seems my Xperia Z1 Compact has no recovery. I rooted it by downgrading to .108 kernel, rooting and flashing .157 kernel.
I don't know if the no recovery problem was right after this but now I wanted to upgrade to android 5 and discovered I have no recovery. I tried:
manually to recovery (the LED won't even light up)
quickboot app
via adb
I also then unlocked bootloader and flashed kernel .sin again to see if this helps but no.
Please help

fastboot help you to put a kernel which is entered in the factory recovery partition. but you'll have to flash the (SLIM,RRREMIX) boot.img up and recovery.img the correct partition.
