Bootloader is a piece of software which basically controls the loading of the programs and data necessary to initiate the sequence of launching the OS. That’s why its called bootloader. It determines which softwares or OS to load from the internal memory and in which sequence.

So if the bootloader is programed to load only one OS from the manufacturer, then its called locked bootloader. Normally most manufacturers doesn’t want or like others to run their custom ROMs on their devices. So they naturally lock the Bootloader – which determines which OS in the memory to load. Now independant developers like XDA guys, somehow crack the bootloader software in the phone, and programs it in such a way that, it loads their custom ROM (OS) at startup.

Hence if the bootloader is locked, rooting your phone alone will not give way to load custom ROMs. Now Rooting is entirely different thing. Root imply full control over your phone’s capacities, softwares and even hardware tweaks like over clocking, etc. Its like admin privileges to do anything as you want with your phone. As far as your question is concerned, every OS loads from a bootloader – phone or computer. So without changing/unlocking the bootloader the phone cannot load any other OS.

So unlocked bootloader is a must to install or load custom ROMs. Hope this answers your question! A few people at XDA forum has reported this issue and its a known issue. They have found a solution for this too. You can go tho this link where this custom ROM originally started.

In there you can see the Installation instructions There they have reported this issue and the solution. (If anyone gets stuck at kernel logo on first reboot,he should try this also: First make the data wipe, then install,then shutdown the device.Turn it on after about 10sec) (Tested and confirmed by chrisbymoningka for v7) Original thread of this ROM. I’ve installed the custom ROM and selected “reboot now”, after that, it was stuck at “sony ericsson” screen for like 10 minutes. I removed the battery to turn it off but after I turned it on again it was still stuck at the “sony ericsson” screen. Now, I can’t reboot back into CWM even if I press the volume down button. How am I supposed to do this>>( First make the data wipe, then install,then shutdown the device.Turn it on after about 10sec) if I can’t access CWM because of the stuck screen?

I’m getting frustrated.
