my one still says No in the service menu! But I still got the unlock code but was unable to go into fastboot mode! :crying:

Wait for 4.3 update .
i have contacted Sony on Facebook , they said :
" Xperia C Will receive 4.3 update Very soon , and you will be able to unlock the bootloader " .

So after 4.3 update we will have fastboot drivers . :D

Very nice, JB4.3 is still JellyBean, so the kernel should be the same...
AFAIK i think its an bit strange if Sony release 4.3... There aren't many Builds of 4.3 on Mediatek devices.
Whats important there, is the new bootloader. ;)

crossfingers!!! hope we get a lot of development on our beloved xperia c... :good::good::good:

As soon as that update rolls out, and with the new bootloader...
This kernel is compatible with JB ROMs, also if Sony updates their source, i'll do the same or merge the new commits.

    Hello Guys ! ;)

    In this thread you will find my custom Kernel for the Sony Xperia C
    Please be sure to read (and re-read) this Carefull to avoid unnecessary questions.




    Changelogs


    Changelog Beta Test 1 and 2 (July 03 2014)

    • Kernel Based on Stock Sources with some few fixs (Linux 3.4.5)
      (check my github for an full commit history, don't want an long Changelog here)
    • Compiled with Google's 4.6 ToolChain (Stock MTK ToolChain)

    I made several kernel Compilations, the only difference is the Build Type and some MTK configs (Keep im mind that i don't own this phone)
    I have no way to know if these will boot or not (but they should ...), you can always restore your System

    I do respect the GPL, but using someone else's work without proper credits is just LACK OF RESPECT.

    • The inclusion of this kernel in your ROMS is NOT allowed.
    • Instead add a link to my kernel thread as a recommendation on your thread.


    I Don't support KANGS!


    Fail to comply and i will drop this project

    So, any news about BL?

    I have a lot of things to add to kernel, not only commits from mainstream, but also some ARM and MTK optimizations
    Regards

    I e-mailed SONY and their reply was :( :

    You cannot unlock the bootloader and if you do so it will be considered under Rooting and will void your warranty.
