[How-To] Running FXP, FXP Miui & Miui Prime on Locked BL (xRecovery / Free Kernel)

Following my FXP Port, I'm expanding the idea so that more people can enjoy these excellent roms on locked bootloader as well.

I have tested the method to work fine on FXP046, Oodie Miui Prime 004 and FXP Miui 1.4. It should work on subsequent builds unless there are major changes by the rom developer. It may work on other roms that are FXP based (but I have not tested)

Credits:
1. Z & J, Doomlord & azuzu - for too many things to mention
2. FXP, Oodie, Crowds - for the excellent roms
3. Tkymgr aka Goro - for the kernel I use as base.
4. Me - for putting these together :)


Instructions:
1. Do a backup before you proceed.
2. Download LockedBL.zip and copy it to SD Card: http://www.multiupload.com/1FI3RBPCOF

You need to install my modded kernel that comes with CWM5 first
- do steps 3 & 4 if your current rom is running on stock kernel or standard custom kernels
- skip steps 3 & 4 if you are currently running my Miui or FXP Port
3. Download CWM5.zip here: http://www.multiupload.com/9C0LAWAVJW
4. Flash it with xRecovery

5. Reboot and press [Back] key when "Xperia" logo appears, you should get into CWM5
6. Install the rom (FXP, FXP Miui or Miui Prime)
7. Install LockedBL.zip
8. Reboot and enjoy the rom :)

The rom will run on my modded Free Kernel 4.05.4 and support dual recoveries.
- To get into xRecovery, press [Back] key when SE logo appears
- To get into CWM5, press [Back] key when "Xperia" logo appears

1. Phone won't get bootloader unlocked when you do this .

2. Kernel is included in CWM5.zip , just flash it via xrec .

& Finally - The steps are clear enough , so no need to guide you again .Read the OP well

well . I think you missed the most important part .

7. Install LockedBL.zip

Have you done this ??

Edit : you have to press [Back] key when "Xperia" logo appears , to goto cwm rec .
Keep in mind that these roms need cwm to install .

Did you install LockedBL.zip (via CWM5) immediately after installing prime4.2?

    Multiupload has been down for a few days now. Can you please upload on mediafire?

    ____________
    Edit: I googled around and found LockedBL.zip http://bzlink.us/d3vowqcjbbxw/LockedBL.zip.htm
    This seems to be the same file from OP. Can anyone confirm this? If you open the zip package go to system -> recovery and open the file 'model' with notepad, it says X10. So I'm pretty sure it is.

    Edit: Found working links. You can thank me now :p

    Depend on which one you use. Original one use cwm5. I'll usually convert it to xRec version.
