Hi there, My current configuration says bootloader unlock allowed: no,
If I do this rooting process, will the 4.04 Image that I flash be allowed to have the bootloader unlocked?

No, there's no need to have an unlocked bootloader. Go ahead

But if I want to flash a custom ROM after rooting, will this factory image have a bootloader with the ability to be unlocked? Or is that built further into the settings?No, there's no need to have an unlocked bootloader. Go ahead

You won't be able to unlock the bootloader of your device, but you may flash a custom rom for locked bootloader after rooting and installing cwm

Whaaaaat? I was under the impression as far as I have ever read that you need an unlocked bootloader to flash a custom ROM. I have just had a look through XDA and it seems you can! Thank you for introducing me to something beautiful! Though will they all be very closely related to a stock Sony Rom?You won't be able to unlock the bootloader of your device, but you may flash a custom rom for locked bootloader after rooting and installing cwm

Yes that's it. They are all based on the stock rom and for your device only Android 2.3 or 4.0, all android versions above need an unlocked bootloader
But you should just browse the development forum and find a custom rom for locked bootloader you like

i downgraded my phone's OS version to 2.3.4...I was using DoomLord's Easy Root Toolkit to install superuser app...however after completion, i could not see superuser app in the app drawer...while this utility was running, i could see error message like failed to copy superuser.apk etc...what could be the reason?
