I am not a dev so have no idea if its plausible but on my Xperia S it was possible to flash CWM on a locked bootloader.
So has any Dev tried? Or can someone explain why it wouldn't be possible?
Here is the CWM I am talking about
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187363
apparently works on Xperia Z as well?

Please don't hate if its a silly question!!
We have this recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235228 but this doesn't mean you can flash cm10.1, you need unlocked BL to get the kernel, so this recovery is only for roms designed for locked bootloader, which for now is only deodexed stock roms like zaiben

Thats because it came out before we got this recovery, but as it uses stock kernel it should work

I read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436957
but i don't have the stock ROM, and was wondering if i can unlock the bootloader on GDX v025. I have a W8 with 11W20 and i plan on installing MiniCM9. Also, i read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24304432
What does he mean about flashing it to Gingerbread ROMs? I'd appreciate the help.
And is getting the stock ROM as simple as downloading it and then flashing it with CWM? and will i need to update it to the latest basebands or is there one already updates that's available?
Thanks

It's is highly advisable to be on stock ROM. Just flash it via PCC/SEUS. Why this is required , I don't know. But always people recommend unlocking on stock ROM. I too would therefore recommend the same. Get back to stock ROM
Don't risk it by unlocking on GDx v025
What he means that the kernel is meant for ICS ROMS only and is NOT meant for GB or stock ROMS
Another thing
So...
1) Flash Stock Rom using SEUS (will this be the one with the latest baseband and will my phone still be rooted?)
2) Unlock Bootloader while on Stock Rom (as stated here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436957)
3) Flash ICS kernel while on Stock Rom (as stated here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24304432)
4) Flash MiniCM9 (as stated here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575094)
Am i right?
Also, is it necessary to install all to Google Apps which nAa has provided a link to?
And where does the currently rooted state of my phone lie in all of this?
Thanks

Not sure about SEUS , but if you use PCC , your phone gets unrooted.
I guess both ways, you have to root again. But that's not a cumbersome task. Just use superoneclick and then place xrecovery files in /system/bin
Just make sure that after flashing the kernel , you flash the ROM directly after it. If you reboot your phone after flashing the kernel , you will encounter a soft brick.
It is not necessary , but recommended. I would suggest that you flash Gapps (Google Apps) , and then manually remove the applications you do not want by using apps like "Root Uninstaller" from the Play Store.
I did not understand your last question.
I am 99.999% sure of what all I told you is correct. However , since I have a locked bootloader , I might have missed somewhere (I'm sure I have not though)
I unlocked my 11w18 with GDX , no problems

You can install custom ROM
You can NOT install custom kernel
If it's made compatible with stock kernels, then sure, go right ahead try GingerDX...safest GB Rom for stock kernel
You can unlock your bootloader, but not for free.
I have Sony ericsson w8 and I have flash it with x8 kernal (2.0.0.A.53) and installed GingerDx. Now I am putting Jelly bean but the naA jb kernal or Ics kernal is showing 'flashing aborted' while flashing . Neither ICS nor JB is installing on my X8. Now i am running gingerDx..
So please help me in installing JB or ICS custom kernal with full procedure.
Thankyou....
Easy method,
1. flash nAa jb 05
2. flash any jb rom u want as mentioned in thread
3.flash nAa jb 06
Or you can workaround by editing the rom zip but above method is easier
Happy Flashing JB

use s1tool to check bl status. if you're flashing naa's jb kernel the first time you need to format data cache system apart from the wipes, then flash a compatible rom.

Can my phone sony ericsson has already bootloader unlocked. is it possible??
no, sony ericsson hadn't been that much of "friendly" to AOSP, you need to check it first with s1tool then if your mfg date is 11w29 below you can unlock it

If you are going to use it on unlock bootloader then use the DOOMkernel for Xperia SP.
Unlocked bootloader supports various features and tweaks on doomkernel, skip the doomlord's advance stock kernel flash

You can install custom ROM on your stock kernel too as long as bootloader is unlocked.
Unlocked bootloader opens access to more ROM's and can help in flashing Kernels.

If you are following the guide, the custom kernel was intended to give you an access to a recovery. Once you flashed the ROM zip the custom kernel will be gone and you will be running the kernel that was packaged with the custom ROM that you have chose to flash.
