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

Hi there,
I got my ZL few weeks ago, It was sim-locked. and it locked to Bell Canada.
I was bought a code from cellunlocker, and successfully unlocked my zl. After that, I tried to unlock the bl, it wasn't working
so, I check the status of BL, it says unlock allowed no, why? I used to have xperia s, the bl unlock allowed says yes after unsimlock, but why zl not?
Anyone got the same situation? Is it any solution on this thing?
Guys, talk about your operator and your device status:laugh:

Have u rooted your before? Because early root method have false unlockable status. If you are not, I think ur bootloader is lock by the carrier.

uhh..this isn't work for me...
My firmware updated last night which is 1.1.A.1.253, I lost root and I have no idea how to degrade to 434 without lost userdata.
I did try flashtool to flash 434 again, but when os is getting start, just pop up a windows says updating NFC blablabla... and it reboot and again , dead loop...
Is that false status will become normal after flash ftf with wipe data?

Did u wipe ur cache when u flash the 434? If i'm not mistaken if u hv bootloader lock do not wipe cache if u flashing rom it may boot loop but I may mistaken about this.
Have u test repair feature in PC companion after that if successfully booted, try degrade ur rom with flashtool without wiping cache but i'm not sure whether u need root to flash ftf using flashtool. Many people in Z successfully downgraded to 434 actually but not sure via what.

Before unlock BL don't forget to backup your TA.
I did not, and now I lost my certificade for ever.
So here is a tip, do that backup (TA) it's very easy to do.
Good luck!

Nozomi is the code name for Sony Xperia S. This ROM is not for locked bootloader.
And what do you thinks is the better ROM for Xperia S? LOCK Bootloader

Hi I bought Chinese Moto z play from banggood, it has android 6 based on custom rom, is it possible to install European version of official rom so I can get Netflix and android pay available,thanks.
Yes, I assume the bootloader is unlocked. You need to install TWRP and flash the stock Rom made by xda user flashallthetime.

Could you tell me how to do it step by step explained version.
Go to Motorola website to unlock your bootloader, all instructions are there. Then come back to xda and search for Alberto TWRP for Moto z play.
