Looked around a bit and found out its virtually impossible to unlock the boot loader if you are Carrier Locked so now my question is can someone help me installing CWM on Xperia J Locked bootloader (ICS 4.04 / Firmeware 11.0.A.7.5). This is because whilst browsing the web I also found its possible to flash ROMs that are based on stock ROMs which is the only reason I rooted in the first place!
Thanks in Advance,

Found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/development/tipo-clockworkmod-t2003069/ Would it work or what?

I recommend you to flash AlienRom. Its compatible with locked bootloader. Just follow the instruction how to install it. Also the rom doesnt have custom kernel inside, so just flash the stock kernel after you install the rom.

Hi experts,
Purely i'm new to this blog and also the android platform. I don't even know about unlocking bootloader and all that stuff (just heard my friends saying). I have an xperia mini pro sk17i and was having GB 2.3.4 at the time of purchasing.Now when official update for ICS 4.0.4 had came,i updated without knowing that it will affect my xperia's performance.Now i started getting lags in games which was very smothly running in previous OS (GB). I would like to switch back to GB and want to root ( also from my friends conversation) the GB.
I need a complete guide for this because i should not end in a brick state,whether to do an unlock bootloader, or flash it, which tools to use and all.... Kindly help me guys.......

Maybe this is Stock but it is 2.3.4 and is stable but you have to unlock bootloader
You need not unlock the bootloader to downgrade. Just use flashtool and get your GB ROM. Have a look at here http://mytechencounters.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/root-your-xperia-phone-without-voiding-warranty

The title says it all. I want to flash a CUSTOM rom on my xperia mini. It is rooted with flashtool running ICS 4.0.4 and the bootloader is LOCKED.
I just want to flash a new custom rom as i tried it before and that resulted in a black screen after Sony Ericsson logo. This was when i had GB installed on it.
I flashed ICS later and rooted it. I amd actually new to rotting though i've been using android since 2010.
I really need your help.
Thanks A Lot
Read the instruction and the steps in your dev section. Or you are gonna get someone to explain to you, and if he misses a step you are screwed.
I rooted my x10mini fairly easy,
Rmb fter flashing the rom make sure you flash the kernel or you will experience boot loop.
just be careful as to not flash any rom with an incompatible kernel.
Gb rom with gb kernel, ics with ics.

On small question, I can flash any rom on any android version right?
What do you mean any android version? Flash roms that is compatible to your phone.
Read everything posted in op. There are some requirements, and the methods are written clearly.

I mean to say that if i am on GB and want an ICS rom can i flash it directly or first upgrade to ICS officially and root it and then flash or in that case can i flash JB on ICS?
It doesn't matter. Make sure your do a full wipe.

I would like to flash the Jelly bean update for the Xperia J on my phone and I wanted to ask which one do you guys suggest?
I would like one that does not have bloatware.
And also could you please provide me with the link?
Thanks!
look in general section and choose the unbranded ftf. or follow the root jb tutorials because you have to flash the jb as a pre rooted zip to have root theres tutorials for locked & unlocked bootloaders

I have Xperia J (ST26i). It's bootloader cannot be unlocked.
Is it possible to flash a ROM for Paranoid Android 3. I used PA 2 on my ZTE Blade and it was great.
Any ideas?
As an aside, does the locked bootloader really restict the flashing of ROMs?

most, if not all custom ROMs on this subforum are based on CM and use CM's kernel, and therefore it's ramdisk.So it's not possible.

I have a question regarding this. I'm not sure if I understood correctly but since we have a locked bootloader we cannot flash Kernels.
But if we find a ROM that doesn't need a custom Kernel to be flashed, can we do that?
And are there any Roms( besides the stock ones) that can be flashed without also flashing custom kernels?

If a ROM is based on stock, then it doesn't need a kernel to be flashed.
There are ROMs that don't require flashing kernels in order to work, there has been reports of CM9 and MIUI both on locked bootloaders, but just not for our devices.
Hello,
Sorry for my bad English....
I have a Nexus S.
Information about it:
i9023xxki1
jz054k
The bootloader is currently unlock.
Is it a good idea to flash it wiith a custom rom? If yes, which is the best?
I read in this forum that to install custom rom, i must Install TWRP ou ClockworkMod . Why can't flash it witch normal bootloader?
Thanks you

Hi There,
As far s your question Yes you should go and root your phone and install a custom ROM you can try CyanogenMod Roms for Nexus but thet are Battery Hungry. You can also go for AOSP roms . The alternate name for your device is Crespo.might help you in finding custom roms for your phone.
Inorder to root your phone See my thread in XDA. How to root Nexus S. It aslo tells you how flash a custom recovrey.
