Hey, All this night, I tried to unlocking my bootloader but no results, lots of problems many times.
So I want to know If i can install rom who don't need unlocking bootloader and ?
Can you tell me the name of this roms?
I can't stay on 2.3.3 stock xperia x10 because we have LOOOOTS of lags and latence, it's really inssuportable.
So, if you can help me, I'm will be really happy.
Thanks a lots, Lehr

Hey there. i was wondering if its possible to use either Wolfbreaks or the EWJET rom on an x10 with unlocked bootloader. id try this myself but i need my phone and cant really risk it atm.
thanks in advance
i used Wolfbreak 6 and wanted to try FXP, so i unlocked the bootloader
no problem, but fxp doesnt work as well as i expected and cant get Wifi running with doomkernel
so, i got unlocked bootloader, running doomkernel and the backup of my wolfbreak rom ... but sadly without wifi
I'm currently using an X10i CM7-ZMOD android 2.3.5 with locked bootloader and baseband 2.1.71.
I'm thinking about unlocking my bootloader when a stable ICS ROM is released but I just want to exercise some caution.
My questions is: What are the pros and cons of unlocking my bootloader?
I'm a total noob so please bear with me
There are no cons from unlocking bootloader,pros- you can install most of the custom roms available.and install any kernel directly through flashtool

Pros:
- direct kernel load (so on custom ROMs loading of ROM and whole system is little faster)
- more kernels (but on X10i are also great locked bl kernels)
Cons:
- if you dont unlock bl with extreme caution, you may completely brick your phone (cant be software restored, you need highly specialized service or buy JIG or JTAG box , but highly expensive)
- if you dont flash every ROM with extreme caution, you may completely brick your phone also (upper notice also )
I am very advanced user, but still on locked bootloader, because its 100% save even you mod a kernel (as I am doing often) On locked bootloader you cant brick you device.
I was also thinking many times about unlocking for ICS 4.0 (CM9 beta), but still its not usable rom for daily use, so I will wait until it will be as RC candidate
Thank you!
Thanks to both of you for replying. At least now I'm full aware of the benefits of unlocking the bootloader and the consequences of not doing it correctly
Thanks again
Unlocking BL is not a big herculean task nw .. there isn't much to bother nw as it can be done on flashtool with a click... bt the frst few methods of unlocking were kinda bit tough for noobs. Bt if u use Flashtool , its so easy.....
N second.. unless u be so dumb n too lazy to read instructions u wont brick an x10. Or else as the above user said u shud tinker with kernals to brick it ..even our masterbrain Doom has bricked it. But as normal users u rarely play with kernal tweaking

I agree with HeliumX10's cons, plus: WARRANTY.
Servicing is almost really not an option.
Hi i am a user of a xperia go (st27a) and i know now that i have a locked bootloader =( .
Im just asking this but its a way to make a rom to flash a Gingerbread version of the phone and to have it rooted?
Since i have been testing lots of ICS roms and dont like performance, battery, camera etc.
Also i have CWM recovery for locked bootloader thanks atis112
I would thank anyone that has any advice to this.
Hi,
I was searching all over the internet to find solution for this but i didn't. Gingerbread is XGO's smoothest firmware so I want to root it to delete bloatware apps and some other useful programs like titanium backup. I have tried ICS but my wifi doesn't work (tried alot of stuff to fix that), camera is too slow and it drains battery very fast. My current firmware is stock JB which i flashed with flashtool. I don't want unlocked bootloader so please tell me how to root GB on easiest way, if possible.
If there's no way to root GB without unlocking bootloader and messing up android (i'm noob), then I'm insterested into rooting JB if possible, without unlocking bootloader ofcourse.
Another few questions that I have is what exactly is bootloader and how can I lock it again if unlocked? Will I be able to update my phone with SUS or Sony PC Companion when bootloader is unlocked? What are negative effects of unlocking it?
That's about it, thanks. =)
Search the General Section properly, everything you asked are explained there already.

Hi people,
This is Burak, from İstanbul/Turkey and sorry about my first post here But I need very urgent response about my issue...
I have a question about mu xperia... I got a Xperia X10i with Locked Bootloader (Cannot be unlocked).... So, the 1st question is;
İs there any way to unlock the bootloader?
and the second is;
is there any rom based on Android 4.0 or higher?
There is a lots of issues that I had with FeraVolt ICS, most of the Google Play applications does not work (Foursquare and Vine Camera Option) and I use those programs very very very frequently... Is there any Custom Android 4.0 or higher version for my phone?
Thanks for now..
the x10 bootloader

ive been having issues with the thing too.... tried like 4 different flashtools. the issue i keep getting is that it says bootloader cannot be permanently unlocked. on 2.3. so i tried going back to 2.1 and using the xrecovery instead of CWM recovery. with 2.1 and xrecovery installed and working i tried again and suprise... it told me my bootloader was unlocked but couldnt be permanently unlocked. so then i got confused and gave up.
that being said im also using feralab v30 final. 2.3.9 and havent had any issues yet. its MUCH MUCH faster then stock 2.3. did not need a bootloader unlock. has a lot of extra tweeks. comes with superuser and whatnot so its prerooted. a cleaning tool. overclock tool. the only trick i learned is that on the website it has a ftf or zip from the kernel. it will tell u for a locked bootloader to use the zip from recovery... but from xrecovery you cant install a kernal and cwm recovery. so use the ftf and flashtool anyways. put the rom on the sd card. flash the ftf of the kernel with flashtools. on reboot keep pressing back button and cwm will open. wipe cache and install the rom. it does it all for you pretty much. there is a 4.0 rom yes and ive tried it. i get a loading loop because of the bootloader being locked. 2.3.9 is the highest ive been able to get so far with any decent stability and speed. but its better then 2.1 or the laggy 2.3 stock rom. also works with most newer apps anyway. 2.1 doesnt even have netflix or text plus. so unless anyone can chime in and help with the bootloader i suggest the newest feralabs rom. i used the general every day one instead of the gaming one. just fyi.
