u only need root for mods. no need to unlock the bootloader.

If it is a flashable zip you need a custom recovery indeed. Besides most mods only work with deodexed roms I think.

Gingerbread first, then there's cwm flashable through stock recovery somewhere, seen it some time ago

[Q] Custom kernel

My friend have the p970, and he talk me to install a custom rom for he, but any rom need custom kernel. In my xperia x8, to install a custom kernel, need a uncloked bootloader and a flash process in pc. But i see a video showing a instalation of cm10 on p970, without flashing a new kernel with other program, but the kernel change just with a zip instalation.
How can i install cm10 for p970 without unklocking bootloader? Im cofused.
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
Installing a rom on P970 its a pretty simple.
You just need root and recovery... to install a rom just do a full wipe and then install the .zip, search on general section about how to make root.
Just this? Isnt necessary to unclock bootloader to flash cm10 and flash a kernel with a program?
Sorry for noob question and bad english

Nope, because our bootloader is unlocked. Kernel comes with the flashable .zip file, so no need for additionally flashing anything after

How to do that?
Are you using the recovery from Pengus
Read this thread the special recovery is required http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058231
Then this is my fav at the mo for 4.2.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062573
Still quite buggy tho cm10 by pengus is currently perfect.

Flash the special recovery. Then reboot recovery, flash the ROM.

No problem
why install recovery and then again flash kernel when you can simply flash the kernel for cwm as tiestobunio said?

I dont understand it right. Iam now back on stock because i bricked the phone.
What i did is root stock, after that i unlocked bootloader, then i installed cwm and then i want to install kernel for jellyblur but everytime i do that my phone bricks. How exactly i have to flash the kernel? After flashing kernel i format system and data like in instruction. I rebooted then phone without flashing jellyblur i think this is the problem. I have to fladh kernel then go in cwm formatting system and data and without exiting flashing jellyblur is this right?
