Guys after working hundreds of hour , i have posted a guide to unlock boot loaders of xperia ray without losing DRM data.

it is 100% tested and working fine , i also tried cyanogenmod , MIUI and all working well

you can follow this guide :-

unlock boot loaders of xperia ray without losing drm data

This method is also applicable for other xperia devices , if you are using other xperia phone then find your phone's test point here :

Test Points for Xperia Devices – Xperia Arc / Active / Mini / Mini Pro / Neo / Play / Pro / Ray

if you like my work then hit thanks , i also appeal developers to post more info about it , as i am n00b

Yeah if you want to 100% void your warranty then do this. If you mess with the TA then you WILL void your warranty. Ok I did it with my ray ages ago and just did it with my play but SE have now made trackID that needed DRM keys to work now not need them. Head over to the play themes and apps section and it's there.

Too much complicate with these cables, etc. I used for this only one paper clip. Connection was between testpoint and metal casing sim slots! So simple

And i was unlocking branded Ray with NO access to fastboot Now i have unlocked bootloader, fastboot and simfree, track-id still works olny for 15 GBP http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1304417 i got also full backup of my bootloader.

If you have access to fastboot mode (blue LED) it will by free for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1285285

You had to pay for it? . See I like the idea and if you know you won't break or brick the device then do it. But if you do hard flashing and drop your phone a lot then don't do it as it does void your warranty this way. Where we modify the TA area it is against the warranty and voids it. This is why I don't advise doing it if you are likely to need the warranty. But I will say now. If anyone has the play and wants to try this then it is actually quite tricky as it is underneath the battery and the battery need to be inserted. Also when removing the test point you can't remove the battery so..... Just pick the device up and hold the back button when removing the test point wire.

to unlock bootloader you need fastboot - in branded/locked phone fastboot needs to be enabled via PAID hardware/software.
using this method, i was aware of the void the warranty
during the whole process i did not pulled out the battery

It's still unclear for me why people want to unlock their bootloader?? Rooting can be done via the exploit so..

for custom kernel /overclocking / CM7 / MIUI etc

for installing custom roms like - cyanogenmod and MIUI

and for installing custom kernels

O allrightt I thought that was also possible with locked bootloaders

Noob question here... Is it possible to just unlock the bootloader the usual way, like I did on my Xperia Play or does it have to be done the way in OP?
