MDA Compact III/Artemis is bricked!!

Hi guys I have a MDA Compact III and after flashing it bricked and won't start anymore. I can get into the bootloader(IPL 1.13.0001 SPL 1.13.0000). I've tried a lot of roms but it won't work. I keep getting the ERROR [300] Use a newer update utility .
I even tried the Artemis_SD_Card_Flashing, but i wont update. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_SD_Card_Flashing
I think that my mda is still CID locked. I thougt it was unlocked.
has someone a solution for this problem. thanks.

solution, maybe. Enter brick into search under arte upgr. forum. 100x already at least 10threads.

Your mobile is locked. SPL for unlocked is 1.11.0000. Did you try to run USPL while in bootloader?

freco: waste of time, before flashing USPL it must be in Async. USPL uses to "flash itself" some kind of fake bootloader. To enter this fake bootldr some files must be copied to device thru pdocwrite, in bootloader they cant.

pdocwrite

Explain me.About pdocwrite Step by Step please.

wrong person 2 ask, i dont know how exactly it works. But i think it has direct access to DOC(its equivalent 2 FAT).... But if U cannot connect Async its useless

Can someone still help please?

Unlocking bootloader on Xperia Arc S

Good Afternoon,
I want to install cyanogenmod 10.1 on my xperia arc S. tried to follow a tutorial, but when it came to the part of booting the device in recovery mode I found that my bootloader was locked. Apparently, on the Rooting Status it says: bootloader unlock allowed: NO. So, my question is, what should I do in order to unlock the bootloader and install the cyanogenmod. thank you vm for your time.

found this, but cannot get into fastboot

I'm pretty sure that if you are not allowed to unlock it, there is no way to unlock it.
Edit: Ok maybe i was wrong. Take a look at this Thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102783
Edit2: Found a guide...but looks like you have to pay to unlock it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896553

I too have a Sony Ericsson (pro) with bootloader unlock allowed: NO. I've scoured the Web and only come up with this site http://www.wotanserver.com/en/sony-ericsson/xperia-pro-mk16/unlock-tool/debranding-flash
Which claims that if I pay 7.99 euros I'll be able to unlock my bootloader. My question is what am I paying 7.99 for? What does this service give that can't be found out for free?

i dont be rude bro, but i had this situatzion atleast over 20 times here with friends or others from my country (then i done the job over teamviewer lol, what a pain in ass)
theres a simple calcultion which allways was right for me:
- service menu says: bootloader unlocked allowed: YES [x] (check:good
- installed all the drivers & stuff properly
(you say that cmd tells you device is connetced, so [x](check:good
if its then still not working, ITS 100%:
a human (your) fault.
- maybe request wrong code (99%)
- ???
i say that because i have friends which telled me same thing. they said "i read it thrice & requested code more than 5 times...... bla bla" - & those a were mostly smart people. (no n00bs)
guess what, after triyng help them for hours (!) over internet, i go to them next day & unlocked phone in 5 mins. lol
i dont know what they doing wrong. or why its not working. i only know if you do it carefully,patiently, read all & DO IT EXACTLY like stated it allways works. because its my way & it allways worked (even they say they done it same.)
but keep in mind that maybe your carrier locked it in some way. here in my country its not allowed for carriers. but idk how its in yr country

Remove 'bootloader unlocked!' text?

Hi guys. I want to remove this warning message when i boot up my phone. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

being able to do this would be great! I tried all the fastboot commands that work on different devices to re-lock the bootloader, flashed the bootloaders again...downgrade to Android 5, uncheck enable EOM unlock in the developer options..tried fastboot commands.. all was in vain...
Any other ideas?

I don't want to relock my bootloader. My goal is just removing this message. Because if the bootloop issue happen to me, sellers will not know that i've unlocked my bootloader. So they will repair my phone for free.

please can any mod close this? Has already been asked and answered. it's not possible! Do a damn search before!

there is not mention of this as far as I sow it anyways...
If you have it then post the link here so we can see it also .
PS: under the same logic we would not try to find a root or bootloader unlock and talk about it because its not currently possible.

That's awful

I read about a guy saying something like changing the I-M-E-I (dont want to get banned or something) to something else, reboot and then restore it, you should have a relocked bootloader..
it sounds a bit shady but maybe this can actually work...depending on how this unlock is done.

This guy actually relocked the bootloader nice

No der is no Oder way....ur getting dat error probably cause Lenovo servers are down....keep trying...it will eventually work..be sure to be connected to the internet..

I'm getting the same error. This is very annoying since you'll have to wait 14 days once it's working. And you have no idea when it does.
@ASP02 How often should you try?
