After relocking your phone wont boot in custom rom (btw if you want to use custom rom with stock kernel use stock based roms)
Only stock-based or AOSP 5.0.2 ROMs can be used with bootloader locked.

Hi
I re-locked my bootloader after flashing nAa's 2.6.29-nAa-02 custom kernel, and now my X10 mini wouldn't turn on.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
I didn't follow the first step in re-locking the bootloader.
Now I re-locked the bootloader with the custom kernel.
Is there any way I can unbrick the phone? Thanks!

I stupidly accepted the latest 78 update and am now stuck with a locked bootloader. I'm working on rooting my phone now (thanks to the guys @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2379833) but am left with a question... can I load a custom ROM, say CM10.1, with just root?
Is there any utility out there to unlock the bootloader, or a way for me to downgrade from the current baseband I'm at now?
Thanks.
No. You need to be unlocked so you can install a custom recovery. That being said, you may be able to unlock the bootloader if you can root it.

I did get the phone eventually rooted. I found an old thread that showed how you can use SafeStrap (basically a wrapper around the original stock ROM) to install other custom ROMs with... is this a safe bet? I still have a locked bootloader as I took the new update... tried motopocalypse and it came up with the error code -11.

The thing about Safestrap is it don't flash the kernel when you try to flash a 4.2.2 rom so when you try to flash it keeps your stock kernel with a custom rom and it don't work out well
Flashing stock based ROMs with ss is fine though it's how we used to do it haha

Hello. I would like to unlock my BL but I don't want to sacrifice the exclusive functionality "B.E\BionZ..." , I have already saved a back up of TA partition, I know I can restore it after unlocking the BL and get everything back like before, I have a question though, I would like to flash a custom Kernel with a custom recovery, can I restore TA after flashing the custom kernel. what would happen then? is it possible? Please reply as I don't know why everyone eats his tongue whenever I ask some question. Thanks

You cannot use custom kernels and aosp/cm based roms with locked bootloader. If you relock your BL you will get a bootloop or a softbrick. Or you simply wont be able to restore TA while using UL rom/kernel.

I don't intend to use CM based kernel, but stock based custom kernel with TWRP. Is it possible.

Then maybe you need not to unlock your BL at all, which kernel you intend to use?
I have no idea. But any stock based custom kernel will do. All I want is a permanent TWRP kernel based.
Oh. I want an overclocking kernel with much more functionalities to tweak it as I like with help of some kernel toolbox from Google Play
Thanks

Sorry Im not aware of such kernel. There is M5 kernel but it is based on CM kernel. Anyway, if you use stock based kernel and stock based rom you dont need to unlock your BL. But if this kernel wont install on locked BL then it wont work if you relock you BL. You will get a bootloop.
Thanks. What about unlocking the BL, will all the exclusive features go away? is there an efficient way to regain them?

X reality engine will be gone and advanced low light camera post processing will be gone. There is no way to get this working on an unlocked bootloader AFAIK. X reality is not a big deal, but if you dont want to compromise camera quality you might reconsider unlocking your bootloader.
I would try some roms for locked bootloader first to see if you're satisfied with them and their features. Existenz is a good one, PureX, phoenix rom...all of them have features like custom roms. You can also download kernel tuner or similar apps to fine tune your stock kernel, many options are available except for overclocking.
@ karim-ps
Custom kernels, such as Androplus & M5 are for a phone with an unlocked BL.
I will not advise trying to use a custom kernel on locked B/L, it will soft-brick.
That said, DRM ( Bionz Xreality ) CAN BE RESTORED, with the DRM fix V3 on an unlocked B/L phone.
Androplus plus kernel is stock based but with all the little tweaks you are looking for. This requires an unlocked B/L.
Hope this helps.

I haven't tried this myself, but here try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672
also make sure you use backup TA to backup your drm keys incase it all fails and always read and follow the guides properly
If any developer has the time, please consider looking into making a cm rom, cause we've managed to get echoe rom working on the Sprint S7.

Idk if it can be done on locked bootloaders that are tw launcher based because Cm is aosp based

True didn't think of that. Hopefully we find a way to bypass that or unlock the bootloader.
The only thing that stops us from having a Cyanogen rom on our phones is our locked bootloaders. It doesn't matter that we have Twiz based OS on our phones cuz when you flash a rom from a custom recovery, it basically writes a whole new OS onto the phone. So whatever OS your running prior to the flash gets overwritten with the new OS.
So the only way we can flash a custom OS is if our bootloaders get unlocked, cuz once that happens we can flash a custom recovery, and from there we can flash whatever rom we want, as long as its made for our phones. First we got to have a working root method, then we have to have our bootloaders unlocked so we can flash a custom recovery, then we can flash away. We have a root method now, so it's only a matter of time until our bootloaders are unlocked. IMO

So wait, I've flashed a custom rom (echoe rom) on the galaxy s7 using flashfire and it works fine, so what would stop Cyanogenmod from working on the Galaxy s7?

That rom is still touchwiz based. Kernel is the same, usually cm/aosp roms use a different kernel or greatly modified kernel.

There's no fix to unlock bootloader problems
Return to stock or use AOSP 5.0.2 with locked bootloader.

AOSP doesn't requires changes in kernel
Since we have a kernel made from ASUS for 4.3, 4.4 and 5.0, any AOSP ROM from these Android version will work with stock kernel and locked bootloader.

You can install AOSP from fastboot, since it's an img file. But you have to unlock bootloader to install GApps via TWRP.
After flash all you need, you can flash stock recovery back and lock the bootloader.
