I hope the authors don't mind me posting mirrors, but since there are so many complaints... flashtool-0.6.8.0-windows

I had to search for it yesterday for me too, here are the links I found: http://www.fileserve.com/file/srPSREc/SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.58_GLOBAL.ftf http://www.wupload.com/file/2131527437/SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.58_GLOBAL.ftf http://depositfiles.com/files/1inil87p7

It was the way you said it. And I did mention "(paying for sim unlock doesnt count)", so I knew that avenue. Thanks anyway

No, I don't necessarily want to unlock the device to other networks, nor is it my fault that SE decided to block fastboot to simlocked devices. I was asking for a solution, be it using flashmode (maybe with bootloader unlocked its possible to flash new bootloader with flash tool?), or some other...

shameless bump

As the title says, any way to flash custom roms or enable fastboot on those devices? (paying for sim unlock doesnt count) thanks

Thanks, you just cemented my choice in the Mini :)

They know nothing about smartphones, obviously.

Ray or Neo would be much more expensive for me.. only options are - Mini Pro for 90€ - Arc S for 160€ I think I'll go with the Mini

hadn't thought about that, thanks xD

Which is why I'm having trouble choosing, and why I asked in the Mini Pro subforum :) Thanks

Hey guys, I have the choice to buy a Mini Pro for 90€ or an Arc S for 160€. Don't mind the details, just that I'm very tight on cash right now. Is the Arc S worth the extra 70€? Thanks

I was talking physically, like are the keys in the bootloader, is S_OFF etc bool variables etc. I guess I'll try to dig it up somewhere. thanks

New question, if you are still around. What exactly is a locked bootloader? Is it just a bool in the bootloader code? Where are the DRM keys and why are they lost?

I see. Thanks a lot for your time :)

Alright, thank you very much. Actually, it just struck me, why is it dangerous if it doesn't flash properly, the recovery partition is separate and you can make the device boot from it right?

actually I don't own a smartphone yet, but I'm going to soon. Since I'm well versed in Linux I was checking out the Android OS in general and that question popped up in my mind and I just couldn't find any info about it. Does that make kernel flashing dangerous too, since it's in the same...

sorry if I'm being thick, but since the bootloader is part of the partition, what stops me from backuping all the partitions, unlock the bootloader, and then after some time flash the original dumped stuff?

isnt the bootloader in the boot partition?

thank you, but my curiosity extends to the technical level, not just in the practical sense

shamelessly dumping to first page

Hey guys I have been reading through this forum and I think I get most stuff now. There is only one thing confusing me, when talking about bootloaders and unlocking them, everyone says its irreversible and you loose warranty and drm keys. My question is, why? Can't we just backup it with CWM or...

sorry. back on topic, I was going for the Xperia when I read there are troubles with noise or something. maybe the ace is safer?

I'm a he :P Yes I am not talking about the X10, and it does have better specs than ace, (1GHz CPU vs 800MHz, 512MB RAM vs 278, 320MB Internal Mem vs 158MB, Adreno 205 GPU vs Adreno 200 GPU). But specs are not everything so please keep the comments coming, specially if you have one of them, or...

Again, the must be some confusion about the Xperia one. The Xperia I am talking about has faster processor,faster GPU and more RAM compared to the Ace. But less battery and smaller screen. Since this will be my first smartphone I though I would ask since I have no idea how important the screen...

Thanks for answering, but you left me even more confused than I was about the Xperia. Were you talking about the Xperia X10 mini pro or the Xperia mini pro? http://www.compare-cellphones.org/Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-mini-pro-vs-Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-X10-mini-pro I was not talking about the X10...

I don't want to spend much and there ain't better deals for the price range I am looking at. Anyway those are the only choices I have, so please just compare them to each other. Thank you

Hey guys, even though this is a developer forum I can't find a place with more informed people to ask this question :) Which one should I buy, given that they will both cost the same to me? Thank you
