1) Firmware is the Android system itself, so bootloader will be unlocked.
2) I don't know Sony Xperia U, but in HTC devices there is a text label "Locked" or "Unlocked" in newer bootloaders.
3) You have to unlock the bootloader only once. Flashing roms doesn't affect the bootloader itself.

Hello.
I was in a custom rom and it was 4.04 ICM (I don't remember which one) and I already had an unlocked bootloader (which I couldn't remember) and I tried to re-unlock it
Now on my phone the Sony Ericsson logo re-appeared and it won't boot (it was Sony with my custom rom)
I used this method for unlocking bootloader

I have this CWM

Now what should I do?
Should I flash stock firmware?
Should I flash another custom?

You relocked bootloader, right?
Or did you unlock it again?!
Anyways, if you did a relock, you must flash a stock ftf and/or a ROM for a locked bootloader.
Because, your custom kernel based ROM won't run on a locked bootloader.

Could someone clarify this for me:
Is it true that in order to install a custom recovery the XTZ needs to have its bootloader unlocked?
I installed custom recovery on my XZ phone alright without having to unlock the bootloader....

i have an unlockable bootloader, my question is, HOW DOES THIS WORKS???
I have the att xperia ion. And my phone says boot loader unlock allowed no.
So Basically I can't get custom roms, custom kernels. But I am rooted and have cwm installed.
But when ever I try flashing custom roms from cwm I end up getting hard bricked or soft bricked and then I unbrick my phone.
I caint go to fastboot either so please find a way to make it bootloader unlock from no to yes. Help!!
is it possible to flash a rom without unlocking bootloader of any phone
I tried this but my phone goes in hard brick mode I don't know whether this the problem of rom or locked bootloader I want to know about that
I have a G960u1 and it comes with a locked boot-loader, is there any way to unlock it by flashing a stock rom? If that isn't possible what other methods could i use to either root or unlock my boot-loader?
