Hey,

I would like to unlock my bootloader. In all the guides I've read, it says I will lose all my data.
I was wandering whether its possible to perform a Nandroid backup before bootloader unlock and then restore that data after bootloader unlock.

Could someone please tell ne if its possible?

BTW, I use a Sony Ericsson Xperia arc.

Thanks

Testpoit it. Its easier and you dont loose anything and not the DRM keys too. Easier to relock it too, as original

No. Bootloader unlocking is not the same as sim unlocking. Bootloader unlocking allows you to install custom roms to your phone.
