Yes its possible
Root your device(search for root locked bootloaders)
Install dual recovery cwm and twpr(for locked bootloaders)
look for roms that states lb or locked bootloaders
flash them

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

Try it! lol
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)
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

Dear all,
I have rooted my device which is running 4.3 (c5502) (build number: . 101) with towelroot. Now i need to install any custom ROM. I came to know that it requires to install recovery first before flash any ROM. I stuck there..Can you please guide me. I didn't unlock my bootloader yet but I had my TA backup with me.Thanks in advance guys.
whatever u need to know is already there. just search for it. if u expect to be spoonfed then you really shouldn't mess with your phone
The thing is, do we really need to unlock boot loader to flash custom roms, or can it be closed just with root and recovery?
No one tryed it till now I think.
Greetings.

Yes for flashing custom Roms the bootloader must be unlocked and a recovery must be installed however if you want to flash a stock based Rom unlocked boot loader is not needed. Just Root and Recovery needed for flashing the stock based Roms. Correct me if i am wrong.
So basicly i unlocked my bootloader flashed custom rom(cyanogen mod)i was boren from cyanogen and back to stock with my recovery backup that i made before i flash the custom rom...Today i got update to install lolipop,downloaded the file it asked me would i like to instaal it so i click install..The phone reset(like always when i update)but it went to recovery and the update didnt start..So i was thinking hmm maybe it wont update becauuse the bootloader is unloceld so i relocked the booloader and when i am trying to install the update it goes to fastboot...So i dont know why i cant install it
--Does anyone have idea that is the problem how to solve it?
-Thanks a lot

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

Hi all. I would like to revert the phone to stock after root and custom rom. Ther's a guide? I can't find anything on the forum. Thanks at all.
I think you just flash the stock firmware over what you have.

Thank's! So, no warry bout unlocked bootloader?
You might want to relock it first, but I don't think it matters. I am not sure though. Just basing this off my time with the S3 and S4 back in the day. With those phones it didn't matter. The S10 line are newer so it might with them.

I presume you want the boot screens to revert to normal without the Bootloader Unlocked warning screen.
If so, see my post HERE

I am on lineage os (Ivan_Meler) not rooted
under the developer there is no OEM option showing. My bootloader is unlocked, recovery is TWRP.
how can i goo back to stock ?
Just to be sure: Before I flash a custom firmware on a S10(+,e) like lineage, there is nothing to back up like DRM keys or certificates? (I had SONY phones before. If you reverted to stock on those some SONY apps would not work anymore if you did not backup the DRM keys).
Hello guys,
Similar question what is the procedure when I want S10e with flashed custom rom (TWRP Recovery), rooted and unlocked bootloader to return to stock firmware?
