[Q][WIP] Allow Bootloader Unlock

[Silversniper]

We can't install any custom kernels or ant type of cm if the bootloader Unlock its not permitted.

Is there no other chance to unlock our flash cm?

I remember that even with a S-On bootloader with a HTC device you can flash kernels via Fastboot.

Some people said that you can unlock it on a Xperia Device after it's rooted

Well it wasn't for me. Still not possible for me to unlock.

Some people said it will work after you removed the simlock but I can't say anything about it.

Some useful informations?

Or any ideas about flash a different bootloader? Is there a way?

If you really have a simlocked device, you got what you payed for.

After >>1100 postings here you should know that if there is no sticker in
a forum how to get around such a thing, it doesn't exist.

So the next time you pay less for something, think first, because buying cheap sometimes means buying twice.

ONLY is possible in Spain for all Sony (S, P, Z, U, ..) thanks to an agreement made directly with Sony Spain. Sony picks up , unlock and delivers from house to Sony Central and its free.

Do we need to live in Spain for this?
Its this you think possible in every other country?

Do you void you guarantee with that?

It is an agreement with Sony by me and supported by users of HTCMania in Spain. And is valid for ANY model Sony.
SONY Spain made it free. Do not accept other countries due to collect and send the terminals.
In other countries must be claimed as I did in Spain.

No warranty is lost as it makes Sony directly and is IDENTICAL to buy unlock/free mobile (which has garanty).

Sorry for my english.

Sony collect mobile at home.
Sony unlock mobile in Madrid changing the "unlock bootloader allowed" to YES.
Sony sent us back home.

Free all with warranty.

And if we travel to Madrid and let out unlock there, possible?

Or is there somebody in Spain who would do that for the other Xperia owner?

Just got sony reply, they say they can't unlock the bootloader of international phones

 

[Silversniper]

Than it seems like there's absolute no way to unlock Xperia devices, right?

hey, if somebody use the spanish method
could he be so kind to make a TA partition backup BEFORE and AFTER the allowing on yes? (and BEFORE unlocking for the first time maybe..)
thanks

There is a variable called ROOTING_ALLOWED in TA, which can be either 1 or 0. There is a chance we only have to change this from 0 to 1 and unlocking will be possible. However no one yet dared to provide me with a TA backup to adjust and restore it.

Maybe @mirhl his request helps us determine if the above is actually the case. I'm still open for volunteers at their own risk and the risk of a hard-brick is high. It would mean a lot for the community though and we'll be forever thankful .

I could provide a TA backup of mine, my bootloader is locked. Could this also help?

I think only of you can provide a backup of ta when it's opened by Sony Spain

That's not true, you can always backup your TA.
