Nope, as clearly stated in the topics of both of those ROMs:
Unlocked bootloader is a NEED!
Note: unlocking bootloader WILL void your warranty.
Good luck!

Stock recovery

Does someone know how to get into the stock recovery in Xperia Miro? Will it be the same method in all the Xperias? If so, how do you get into it?

Xperia devices don't have integrated recovery like Samsung. You've to sideload it or flash a kernel which has integrated recovery in it.
But to flash a kernel, you have to get acces to a custom recovery like CWM or not?

Thank you so much. When I have time I will flash the rom? Are there many possibilities to brick the phone?

if u don't do anything wrong then it should work
If for example it fails and the phone doesn't boot, what can i do? Sorry if I am a pain in the ass, but i want to make sure what i have to do and if there are many risks. Thanks

You can flash custom Rom, but not custom kernel (boot.img), so roms like fxp which need fxp kernel cannot be flashed.

Then, if i can install that recovery, i would be able to flash a custom rom even if i have locked bootloader. That's awesome!! I thought i was limited to flashtools if i wanted to flash something

As the title says,do yo know any ROM with those specs for th Miro, st23i?? Thanks
Enviado desde mi ST23i usando Tapatalk 2
this belongs in Q&A section
I asked there too, but none answered so i thought the problem was that it belongs to this sub-forum. This thread can be closed.

did that still no use
What phone do you have? Search if there is a .ftf file with the version of the actualization. Then you can flash it by Flashtools
Enviado desde mi ST23i usando Tapatalk 2
Firstly relock boitloader
After locking it, repair your phone with pc companion
That should fix it
hit the thanks button, don't say it.
it costs you nothing, but it is worth something for me.
