*facepalm* Revert back to Android 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 version,then root your phone (but you'll stay in Gingerbread firmware since ICS can't be root directly)
If you still wanna have root in ICS,check carefully in your phone forum section

Locked bootloader (unlock allowed yes) - You can't flash custom kernel or custom Rom that aren't base of stock Rom,but you can unlock it
Locked bootloader (unlock allowed no) - Same as above,but you can't unlock it for other reason (eg.contract phone by at&t,so they lock it permanently)
Unlocked bootloader (unlock allowed yes) - You can flash custom kernel and custom Rom that are not base on stock Rom (yay!),but you lost DRM key and can't use some application like TrackID...unlocked using Official Sony website
Unlock bootloader (unlocked allowed no) - Same as above,but it's not actually 'unlocked',but it's a patched version of bootloader which it still have DRM,but still can be flash custom kernel or Rom...unlocked using TestPoint usually

So I have to unlock boot loader to root my phone?
Or I can flash custom ROM only by unlocking boot loader or root is needed?

No no no,you doesn't have to unlock bootloader to root,and you can ACTUALLY flash custom Rom on your phone with a locked bootloader that are BASED ON STOCK ROM....but I would recommended to unlock bootloader as custom Rom wil usually ask for a custom kernel...

You can also flash cm7 or gigglebread after that as well. As long as you flash clockwork recovery with nvflash or TGAGunmans tool, you can flash any rom you want with booting into recovery with the volume down and power button combo. Flashing a rom doesnt require root per se, apps on the other hand require a rooted device. Hope this helps

I am going to install a custom ROM first time,Is it necessary to have boot loader unlocked in order to install any custom rom and kernel via cwm?
What could happen if boot loader is locked and ROM is installed?

As far as i know, all custom roms require the device to be rooted, firts of all you need to root/unlock your phone, then install Recovery Application that would help you flash custom rom (Like ClockWordMod) and after that flash your custom rom.
Btw all that info is located on this forum for each and any Android phone regardless of brand and model (at least 90% of them).

Yes you have to root your phone to root your phone you need to unlock bootloader than install recovery then you can install a custom ROM... You will find procedure in your device foram hopefully...
And rooting means to get Administrator privileges... I hope it helped.

If you are using cwm recovery it means your bootloader is already unlocked just put your desired rom zip file in sd card and then make a nandroid backup of your current rom.. You can make nandroid backup by going in cwm recovery and select backup and restore and follow the procedure..
After this do a factory reset and then install your rom....
I hope it helped.?

You can not unlock the bootloader,but you can root with towelroot or Stumproot.
You can Flash this Recovery
This Recovery works,but you can not save a Backup to External SD,only Internal Memory and Restore not working for me.
To flash a custom rom just need to root?
