Hi im a tmobile user and have a locked bootloader I rooted and installed a.custom recovery
on my phone but every time I install a custom Rom I get soft brick I've done this three times
I've followed the direction but still the same thing I have no idea what else to do
Okay so first, download ftf and flash it using Flashtool. Then you can go back to pure stock:thumbup:

Ok I am not an expert but first thing is if u are flashing a custom kernel then your bootloader must be unlocked.Since you have a locked bootloader so u have to flash recovery for locked bootloaders only else ur phone will not boot.Also being on a locked bootloader, u cannot flash roms like aosp(cm,aokp,pac etc.) U can only flash stock based roms which don't require u to flash custom kernels.

Oh I didn't think about that possibility... I thought he was just trying to flash stock based ROMs.

He didnt mention that.So maybe he was trying to flash custom kernel without unlocking bootloader.
I m sure it will help

I tested it and working with xperia arc 2.3.4 (.42) fw!
I suggest you changed the title something like "cmw recovery on locked bl and more". I think many want recovery with but hesitant to unlock bootloader. Thanks for posting.
works perfect on rooted stock arc locked bootloader
sounds wonderful. I shall try on mine too
Can I install ROM now from the dev section in the forum?
can confirm that this does not work on the Xperia acro IS11S
so does this allow a recovery menu for devices with locked bootloaders, does that mean we can flash custom firmware on these devices. if not what are the benefits of locked bootloaders having a recovery menu

If we install CWM using this method, is there a way to remove it if we need to claim the phone on warranty or anything?
Also can more people confirm this definitely works with stock fw, locked bootloader

Are you sure that'll work? You still have a locked bootloader so custom ROMs probably still won't work. I think it more for backing up stock ROMs and installing mods etc.
ah ok i guessss your right....can we flash themes?
I have no idea. I'd like to know actually. Would make it a lot easier to test things that may cause a boot loop and be able to just flash back to stock without a full reset.

You can't upload the CM7 because CM7 need another Kernel. CM7 don't working with the stock kernel! If you make change kernel you need the unlocked bootloader phone.
I think that this works:

Yes, but this is just a rom in ZIP file, just flash with CWM over the original stock rom. Test it if you have time!?
How about adding a (second) post / sticky in this Topic, with Roms, Tweaks etc. that work by CWM flashing... (locked bootloaders)

After you unlock the bootloader you can flash a custom recovery and that will allow you to root your current ROM, install custom ROMs, etc.

Yes, you can use GB custom ROMs, just don't try to go all the way back to Froyo.
With the GS2 I just got the file, put it on Odin and it was done so I have no clue about HTC phones. My phone is unlocked but has my networks firmware on it and I cannot update to newer firmware unless I get the stock firmware I'm guessing. So I'm just wondering where I can get that and how I do it?
Thanx.

Just about everything on htc phones is done through custom recovery.
If you have bootloader unlocked the you will need to flash a custom recovery I recommend twrp. After that just make a backup then download and flash a rom.
You can download and flash roms with just the phone no computer needed once you have the custom recovery

No I mean my network doesn't lock the phone but you get their firmware which is annoying. I have no idea how to check the bootloader, never even heard of one before, everything was much easier with Samsung lol.

Custom ROMs are tweaked so more than likely it will be snappier and more battery efficient compared to stock ROMs. Also some custom ROMs have different themes, wallpaper or look than a stock ROM. The only ROM I know that doesn't have ANY visual changes is ARHD ROMs by mike1986.

You need to flash a custom recovery to be able to flash a custom ROM. Read the guide that was mentioned a couple of post above. The steps år basically like this.
Unlock the bootloader through the HTCdev website
Flash a custom recovery
Make a nandroid backup of your stock rom from recovery
Download and copy a custom ROM zip to the SD card
Flash the custom ROM from recovery
No, Samsung was not any easier to modify . I have rooted and modified several devices from both Samsung and HTC. You just have to learn the steps.

Why are they all locked now? They never used to be.
Hi all, sorry if this has been posted somewhere else on XDA. I used Fastboot with the code that sony sent me a while back to unlock my Bootloader. What I want to do now is to lock my Bootloader again to update to the new official rom. I would however love to flash a custom rom, but can't find a detailed enough step by step guide as to how. Also flashing custom kernals sounds risky, not sure if it is though, being the reason why I have not flashed anything beyond the Botloader. Help would be greatly appreciated.

probably, you must be 100% stock rom and stock recovery to get OTA's, if you have relocked your bootloader then you will have to unlock your bootloader again so you can flash the stock recovery.
stock recovery is here, as long as your OTA is 7.19.401.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59082816&postcount=2
