Can I install Custom Rom on locked bootloader? - Sony Xperia L

Hello,
I bougth a new Xperia L branded to Vodafone.
Android version : 4.2.2 / kernel version : 3.4.0-g74b701b-00054-gde56c65-dirty / Build number : 15.3.A.1.14
I rooted succesfully my Xperia L using rootkitXperia(L).
I install also CWM recovery 6 using this site: h**p://techglen.com/2014/01/01/install-cwm-6-on-xperia-l-c2104-c2105-locked-unlocked-bootloader
Recovery seems to work, at least I try to baclup my current stock rom.
I validate my bootloader status, and it says unlock bootloader allowed: no.
Can I anyway install a custom kernel and KitKat Rom?
Thanks

Unfortunately, you can't
Installing a custom kernel needs an unlocked bootloader

The recovery I flash seems not 100% working.
What are the possible recoveries I can flash?
It sems that we can eventually flash roms for bootloader locked.
Can someone please tell me which Rom can be used and what is the best one?
Thanks

Yes, the recovery for locked bootloader doesn't work completely, though you can flash zips.
Also, presently there are no other recoveries for locked bootloaders.
There are some good roms for locked bootloaders. I have not tested all of them but both DextroDroid and CnT seem to be good. You can search in the development section and those marked with [L-B] or [L/B] (means Looked Bootloader) will work for you. Go through the whole thread to know about all the pros and cons.
Hope it helps.
Hit thanks if it does

I found Revolution HD, will try install it tonigth!
Thanks again

[Help] Can't install custom recovery !

Hello,
I have some problem to install custom rom and recovery on samsung US device
Can I unlock bootloader for this device ? what I should do to install Custom recovery ?
Thank's
Sadly, you cannot unlock your bootloader past the 4.1.2 update (excluding 4.1.2), and the only custom recovery that works is SafeStrap. All of the ROMs you install past said update must be on the TouchWiz kernel, so there's no escape.

You're going to have to provide a lot more info cuz that doesn't make sense. Flashing a custom recovery on a Verizon S3 (SCH-I535) with 4.3 or 4.4.2 causes a hard brick upon rebooting the phone.

ok, what can I do now to install a custom rom to get another language and get mmi code when I'm looking that ?
Thank's

Did you flash the specific recovery for your firmware?
Eg. If you are on .93 firmware, you need to flash the custom recovery for .93

and which Supersu zip version ?
D6633 23.0.1.F.96 stock rom
Bootloeader Unlocked
Sorry to tell you that I don't know where you can download a suitable custom recovery for your ROM.
I searched for you but only found the one for .74 rom.
Or just flash a stock kernel of your rom via flashtool after you had rooted.

Look in the [NUT] Dual recovery thread in the cross device development section.
You do not need a certain recovery for each firmware version, just for each device.
Root, install recovery for Z3 and done

Flash it with twrp, flash stock recovery and you should be good to go! You might need to relock your bootloader as you are s-on.

Is it really necessary to relock my bootloader? I need to send my M7 to warranty and I need to flash stock ROM, but I would prefer to leave my root alone, I don't think they would care?
I would think it would depend on how you unlocked the boot loader. If you went the way I did which was through HTC's dev site, then they will have it on record that your device's boot loader was unlocked. I think they would give it an approval to do warranty work since you are being seen as a dev. They will then let you go without 'punished'. I have not had any experience with this area however, so I might be wrong, but I have seen various reports on Reddit lately where HTC has repaired M7's that were rooted and had other ROM's on them with no issue. The Redditor did however, report that it was relocked and back to 'factory' so they had to go through the process again of unlocking bootloader and so forth.
You're an angel, thank you so much for posting this rom!
My phone got soft-bricked after I took an OTA, (completely stock without root! just an HTCDev unlocked bootloader), the logcat during boot was filled with lovely reallocation exceptions, flashed your Rom through TWRP and voila! Lucky I unlocked the bootloader first thing when I got it, I even managed to retain all of my data.
Thanks a lot!

I presume you are also on the 4.4.2 bootloader and modem, and not on an earlier bootloader/modem pair and a custom 4.4.2 ROM. If this is true, NE1 bootloader and modem, you have very few options. I think there are three ROMs to choose from: stock, SuperLiteROM, and PaulPizz. Before installing either of the last two you will need to root and then install the Unofficial SafeStrap. Links to SafeStrap are in the OPs for the two ROMs. SafeStrap will tell you how to root, I used TowelRoot two months ago.
If flashing the ROM you choose does not fix the APNs then you may need to reflash the modem that corresponds to your bootloader version. If you are uncertain about the versions of your bootloader and modem you can check with a PlayStore app, Phone Info *Samsung* by vndnguyen. Another option for checking is these commands in a Terminal Emulator:
Code:
getprop ro.bootloader
getprop | grep version.baseband
thnk's men , but now i have another , before i don't know , so i installed rom manager and CWM recovery , now when i boot in recovery i get this
secure fail : kernel
system software not authorized by verizon wireless
i can't fix , i can't enter in recovery :/

That was the point of my other post.
You said you were on 4.4.2. If you have the 4.4.2 bootloader (I535VRUDNE1), you can not flash any AOSP or CM based ROM. Your only option in this case would be to install Safestrap and then one of the two ROMs which I linked. You can not downgrade this bootloader without bricking the phone. If must use one of these ROMs to get a custom ROM, you could flash SuperLiteROM and use XPosed and it's mods to tweak your device.
There is the possibility that your phone has an earlier bootloader and a 4.4.x custom ROM, this would let you flash CM or AOSP. I posted two ways to check your bootloader version. I recommend you do one of these before trying to flash anything else to avoid bricking the phone. If you have the NE1 bootloader look back to my previous post.
