I tested it on xperia U, working for unlocking bootloader, but when I failed ti flash KA ROM, it said the file is to big.


nice work dude, I think you should make a verification if the driver is already installed or not,
because firstly I forgot to install the driver, and this app just was not responding..

I have tried two times but it is not working. I have typed IMEI and got unlocking code but when I click on Unlock BL nothing happens.
Light is blue for fastboot, I am on Xperia S - official ICS, not rooted.

Bootloader unlock allowed - YES
Program freezes and I need to reboot virtualbox to remove it from the desktop. I am using it over virtualbox on XP and I am running Ubuntu 12.04

I think you should try it on win7, it only need about 15s to unlock your phone :D

I have tried on Win 7 and it works flawless on my SXS. For some reason it could not work over virtual box on two linux machines.
Bootloader unlocked in 10 sec on win 7.
Thanks a lot, earlier I had HTC Sensation and Motorola Atrix and unlocking bootloader on those phones was very difficult. This was just to easy :victory:

Sony will know that you unlocked your phone because you give them IMEI, and for DRM keys i think that you will lose them if our phone have DRM keys.

As far as I remember, Unlocking will wipe the data ...

Is that still right with this tool?
I'm not sure if it was ever true. I unlocked my phone when I had GB and didn't lose data. Lately I wanted to see what version is my phone originally supposed to get so I relocked and unlocked again in ICS. Again, no loss of data.

But back up anyway, you're supposed to always take care of that...

And yes, you lose your warranty. How do you think you get the unlock code? From Sony site... this tool has a script that accesses Sony's site with your IMEI...
