I was planning to unlock my bootloader today. When I tried to open the Sony ericsson page, its showing the page is under maintenance. Are you guys getting the same response from the sever? Or did Sony completely stop the bootloader unlocking?

Same question here. I tried it since yesterday and that feature is under maintenance till now. I am planning to unlock R800i. Did Sony Ericsson stop the bootloader unlocking and if so, any alternative to unlock bootloader may I know? Thanks in advance.
Well, we will see. Hopefully its just a real maintenance, but maybe they are fixing the hole which the guys used to unlock cdma phones.
Let's hope it comes back to life soon!
Regards
I guess they're fixing CDMA keys hole. Looks like Verizon isn't happy about it.
But I don't understand why it takes so long to modify some small piece of code to disable MEID calculator.
Maybe you DDOSed them too much ?

Thanks guys.

succeeded, but with a little problem. Could any1 pls help me?
i followed Bin4ry's guide [How-to] Root your Play.
On the first try of flashing system with play_modded, i got some error message like android.process.acore & android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly, so I soft reset it to factory setting and flash system again and succeeded, with no error message.
But the problem is after the root process, my phone can't detect 3G network. The service provider I am using has two options, 2G and 3G, and phone can only detect 2G network.
Another problem is that although I can find WiFi networks and connect, WiFi connection is not working anymore (no data send/receive through WiFi).
If any of you know how to fix that 3G network & WiFi missing issues, kindly let me know. Thanks in advance.
One more, my rooted play is now on 3.0.A.2.184 build and when I connect it to computer, PC Companion said found new software update and ask me whether want to update or not. Rooting process will be overwritten and I will need to root it again if I update software (base 3.1.A....something I think) I would like to know.
Thank you again.
Regards,
edit : sorry if this post should be under Q & A section, please let me know and I'll open a new thread
Im assuming you have a r800i? If so, my simple recommendation would be to flash 4. Firmware. Then enter fastboot and flash dooms kernel which will automatically root it for you. Hope this helps.

For starters unlock ur bootloader again, as you need it to flash the kernel (which in my opinion is worth keeping), then go over to the developers sub forum, download the UK generic 4.0.whatever the rest of the code is firmware, flash it with flashtool, the go to doomlords thread and download his kernel. All instructions you need are in the relevant threads, easy to follow. I would link them, but I'm away from my computer at the moment. And I cant link from my phone. Sorry. Hope all goes well!

Hello friends,
Are you one of those guys who are pissed of that they can't unlock their bootloader because of the stupid manufacturing date?
Well be pissed of no more because that is solved!
I was scrolling around the internet and I came across this guy!
http://unlock-bootloader.com/
Alejandrissimo is what he would like be addressed as.
Basically this guy unlocks your bootloader for only 24 usd assured 100%. He has over countless pages of testimonials (there was even one person that unlocked 11w40) and i am a 12w user and I just unlocked mine and I am happy as hell!
Basically this guy expects you to download his files which is on the website and have a paper clip just incase.
There is NO EFFORT to it WHAT SO EVER even my grandma could do it and she doesn't even speak english!
What you will have to do is just be connecting your phone back and forth to the usb and having to click back button multiple times but in the end it all pays of =D
You will also need to revert back to stock firmware 2.1 and you basically I was on GDX 2.3.7 and I lost EVERYTHING but i'm actually happy cause I backed up my aps and I get to do this anew with no more mistakes
So? What are you waiting for? Those kernels aren't gonna install themselves =P
If you need any questions I'll answer them i've personally went through this so have fun!
I came across that guy aswell.. even contacted him once and he actually replied. But I bricked my phone few days before that one so he couldnt help me. The problem is the money :SS.. dont you think thats a little bit too much just to unlock the bootloader?
People who want to risk please try to unlock bootloader with flashtool!"
Because I thikn people who get hard brick with 11W29+ use msm7227 tool!:silly:

You think wrong. Flashtool just automates the process and simplifies it, it still uses the original msm7227 files provided by the_laser. Both are as safe, but Flashtool is more noob-friendly and reduces the chance of human error.
Also, hard brick on 11W29+ devices is caused by revamped chipset that fixes the security hole that the original BL unlock uses. This means, the phone will effectively have no bootloader after BL unlock on fixed chipset devices and thus the phone is now a hard brick.

Lol don't blame the tool if human error led to you having sim card issues, sounds like you used the wrong file to me . As I said, flashtool reduces the occurrence of human error as it automates everything, but it is a little strict IMO.

I bricked it before when I had the 11Wsomething . Then they changed my motherboard that was 10W51..
I unlock 2 times with msm7227 tool--> no signal and my 3 friends from SLOVENIA have the same problem. I relock and try with flashtool, all my friends and me are now happy with unlocked bootloader,great signal.
The succesa rate is 100%? And how do you pay him? Paypal? Tempting.
But I'l wait til at least few guys here in xda try it succeed.

Actually, setool can unlock bootloader with any manufacturing date...be it 11w40 or 12w**...
So why do you have to pay for a guy when there is a tool to do it?
It has the same point, you pay for the guy or you buy setool credits..and setool is more reliable coz its created by the same person who made it possible to unlock our bootloader for 11w26 downwards..

Listen,
You guys can do whatever you want with your phone fine by me but I was assured NOT to unlock my bootloader if it was manufactured after the dates of 11w30+ so I wouldn't really risk trying out ANYTHING except for this guy.
He has numerous testominals and in my opinion if you want to keep going with your phone for people who can't unlock their bootloader this is what you need =D
So it's all up to you in the end. This guy is guaranteed 100% he just lacks to reply sometimes for queries but when you say your going to co operate with him he will reply to any query whilst doing it. So in my honest opinion the 24 bucks was worth it.
Have fun guys

yes there is a very easy way to do that you dont need to unlock your device for that. go to this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015467 , download the nexus 10 toolkit and install the drivers , enable debugging on your device, then select root unroot options , from there choose root + install busy box , then select superSU. and you are good to go , root without unlocking or any custom recovery.

Sorry harrisfayyaz, but are you sure?
I rooted my N10 some days ago with this tool and tried it without Unlocking. It did not work for me - app told me I have to unlock first before rooting. Just would like to know if I was just dumb or not ^^
Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003938. It works for 100%. I did it already twice (once on 4.2.1 and then again on 4.2.2). Nexus is rooted, but lock is still there. Run *.bat file without unlocking - it works.
I dont want to doubt what you are writing but the OP from the topic says:
Note: If you are using a retail device, you may need to unlock the bootloader first, using './fastboot-windows oem unlock' (or the appropriate version for your machine, included in this zip). Note that the OEM unlock sequence wipes your device, so consider doing an 'adb backup' beforehand if required!

No, through Amazon from US. So in my opinion you always can try. In worse case if it requires unlock it doesn't root your Nexus.
I also read first post but in next part of thread users noticed that unlock is unnecessary. I tried it twice and works every time

After root, lock your Nexus by NRT.
this method worked for me
however it was a pain to get drivers working, i had to get universal naked drivers
one question, will future otas work?
Should work as long as you don't change system files (OTA checks hash codes of them).
I also used universal naked drivers.
Hello everybody,
As i don't have enough messages to answer on the development thread, i post a few information here.
On my Z bought on a xperia store (lock bootloader but unlockable, french version (I think it is a worldwide one...) ) i runned the exploit, and it do work!
But as some comment said, the NFC stopped to work (only bug so far...).
The error is simple: you can't 'check' the box in configuration.
The logcat is simple and say only a few information:
I/NfcService( 1102): Enabling NFC
E/NFCJNI ( 1102): phLibNfc_Mgt_ConfigureDriver() returned 0x0106[NFCSTATUS_INVALID_DEVICE]
W/NfcService( 1102): Error enabling NFC
I don't know if i can help. But here are the few informations i have =)

No, wont help. An unlock blocked bootloader is locked for good. No way around it and I judge from your post, you dont read other threads so you have no idea whats going on: Sony - as other manufacturers did and do - didnt compromise Qcoms security installments in place by poorly engineering the phone. Bootloader security barrier most likely wont ever be broken through.
How exactly do you remove a directory like that?
Use root explorer.. Worked like a charm
I didn't remove it I just renamed it to usf1 it worked! But there are a lot of files in that folder. Is it not important?

Hi everyone
I'm new at this root things so I would like to make a couple of questions if you don't mind...
I have a SIM Free UK Xperia Z, so I think my bootloader is unlockable. The thing is I don't want to do it (at least for now) because I will loose DRM keys, BE2, and my warranty...
1- Can I root using this method without unlocking the booloader?
2- If I root my phone with this method I mantain my DRM keys, BE2 and can restore it like when it came from factory?
Thanks in advance

2.Yes

I covered this in my initial post: recognized elite Android god Entropy512 himself, stated repeadetly, that bootloader security on Qualcomm devices is very strong. If it gets broken (this is what you ask/hope for) then it's usually because the manufacturer ****ed up Qcomms security. Sony, so it seems, does not have done that so an "unofficial" unlock or "bootloader crack" is very unlikely on the current devices, such as the Xperia T and Xperia Z.

Make sure your file explorer is configured to access system directories (such as /data) in root mode. You may need to change a setting to enable root access.
/data is definitely not empty, it's filled with plenty of other stuff.

To unlock the boatloader you need fastboot. Problem is the SIM lock blocks fastboot. If you don't have a SIM lock or you unlocked it in theory you can now unlock your boatloader.
Try it and see what happens, worst case the program will just say your phone can't be unlocked.

I had the same problem, it changed itself! try flashing the new .245 with Flashtool, then check again. But please dont unlock the bootloder, there's a rootinjg method and recovery for locked bootloaders, the BE2 it's AMAZING.

Even if you lose BE2, isn't it possible to flash X-Reality? Which is better anyway.

How exactly does any of this enable "bootloader UNLOCK allowed:YES"? (Like the name of the thread indicates) That text is from the unlock/relock bootloader thread and it doesn't enable "bootloader UNLOCK allowed:YES". Fastboot is disabled on XSP with carrier-locked bootloader.

If you unlock the bootloader you will lose the DRM Keys, BE2 or X-Reality WILL NOT WORK ANYMORE
I flashed the Russian .245, Use it...It has all the languages you need: French, English and Spanish. All stock Sony firmwares have all the regular languages. Russian doesn't have the Japanese or Chinese keyboard. You can't unlock the bootloader on a carrier locked phone, forget about it.
Has anybody tried this solution ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423756
I bougth a simlocked xperia sp.
I've unlocked my SP with nck, now i can use any simcard.
But i've bootloader UNLOCK allowed: NO
I flashed 2.245.GENERIC-DE via flashtool, still unlock allowed no
Have you any further ideas to change it to unlock allowed yes?
If phone was brought as a carrier locked device and boot loader unlocked says no,you can't change it.
you can try call the company you brought from and ask for code or take to independent phone store and ask if they can open boot loader or explain how to.
I highly doubt you will change the status.
