I just want to know the ratio of users whose Xperia SP has a locked bootloader.
The question is quite simple, so leave your answer!

I have Xperia x8 and I want to install ICS 4.0.4 but I need to have Unlocked Bootloader for do that.I looked on net to find how to do that but it's only for 11w29 or lower but my is 11w47 so i don't want to hard brick my phone.So can I install ICS on my x8?
Sadly, you cannot. However, there is an ICS ROM which is made for stock kernel, though it is very buggy and not maintained anymore.

It is recommended to you for not unlocking the bootloader instead of saying No.
It's all upon you to take the risk or not. There are so many buddies who successfully unlock their bootloder and other failed also.
I recommended to you go for stock roms(ginger) e.g.
Gingerdx v28
Kuyadroid 4.5.4
Which not required unlocked bootloder
Yup!!!!

There are so many time for stock kernel. Just search
Hello,
Am I able to install ROMs that are stock based if I do not have unlocked bootloader?
I am specifically talking about this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180208
Thanks!
I don't think so,maybe later the dev will release a version for locked bootloader.

Okay thanks for the quick answer.
I just got confused because I checked this thread about ROMs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171958
And on the first 3 it specifically mentioned [Unlocked Bootloader] and the 4th did not say that, so I figured I might be lucky^^
Since there isn't a CWM recovery for locked bootloaders yet there is no way to flash ROMs with a locked bootloader. Once there is it will just be a case of flashing the ROM and then the stock Sony kernel.

Hi everyone, i have a locked x8 and i wanted to ask if i can unlock the bootloader and flash another rom. Will i have any problem with it?
+ is there any free way to unlock it?

Only if you have below 11w28 with free guide else you can choose paid method as i do.

it is not necessary to unlock the bootloader to pass another rom, make you root your phone and put a rom on your liking, I suggest gdx v030
If you have at the back sticker of your phone a number that tells 11w29- then you can unlock your bootloader.
Even if you cant unlock your bootloader you can install a custom rom but you can use those roms that are for stock kernel.

I've been searching around, but can't seem to find a straight answer on all ROM's. Which ROM's are usable with a locked boot loader? Thanks in advance.
Edit - Done some more reading... Can I do anything with a locked boot-loader really? Or am I forever limited to 4.1.2 based ROMs?
Take a proper look in the Android development forum dude!
There are loads of ROMs you can flash on a locked bootloader. Generally the ROM will say LB/UB and must be a modified stock ROM.
The only ROMs you can't flash are cyanogenmod/Aokp /aosp based ROMs.
Or upgrade to 4.2.2. with a stock tft via flash tool.

Thanks so much, sorry im new to sony bootloaders. So if I upgrade to 4.2.2 I can flash cyanogenmod/aosp Roms? I really want to use parandroid... Or is that impossible as of currently? Also, will the boot loader eventually get unlocked? I'll probably end up returning this phone if its not possible for a long time. Again thanks.

Do not flash paranoid on your phone with a locked bootloader , you will brick your phone.

You can only flash ROMs which use the stock kernel or have a specific LB (lock bootloader) build.
Thanks dude, Your help is very appreciated.
