If anyone here has SEUS Pro and an unlocked bootloader, can they check something for me?
I've been told that SEUS Pro is capable of updating the firmware on handsets that have had their bootloaders unlocked but that doing so re-locks the bootloader.
If someone is willing to check that, I'd very much appreciate it.
Apparently this feature may well be rolled out in the next update to the standard version of SEUS, thus fulfilling the promise that those of us with unlocked bootloaders will still be able to update our handsets via SEUS.
I think in the dev section there's a thread on how to relock your bootloader
I know there is, it's got nothing to do with this thread.
Quick question. What exactly is SEUS Pro? I mean I haven't seen a pro version. And what does it offer over the regular SEUS?
It's a version of SEUS that's not publicly available.
It has a few extra options that the standard version hasn't, is quicker apparently and requires some sort of log-in to use.
It's a stepping stone between SEUS that the public use and EMMA which engineers use.
Nice, where can i get seus pro ? ^^
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
Oh ok. Didn't know that but thought you might have confused it with EMMA. Thanks for the info
It uses the same servers as EMMA apparently but it's for people that aren't engineers.
I believe you have to apply for a login, I'm sure I saw a page somewhere on SE's site allowing you to do so.
*Bump*
In the hope someone might be able to actually help.
Try PM'ing unknown13x he may know the answer.
will try to get seus pro if i succeed I will try it for you
edit : getting somewhere, just for info and download : http://www.sonyericsson.com/retailsupport/update_service/download.aspx?locale=gb-en
edit 2 : will continue tomorrow, I need my phone for now
If you can, that'd be great.
At the end of the day, it's not the end of the world but from what I was told, it sound like SEUS Pro is used to test out news features and can give us an inside line on up-coming updates to the standard version.
''Your email address has been verified
An email will be sent after Sony Ericsson has validated your Update Service Pro account request.''
And now we wait, I'l keep you updated
Thanks again.
Out of interest, if it's not too nosy on my part, what do you do that you might be able to qualify to use SEUS Pro?
Because last time I looked, you basically had to justify getting a login.

Ah, ok, I misunderstood.
Still, if you can get a login, I should be able to do so too - I work for a mobile phone retailer in the UK.
Well I will have to wait to know it, did you tried it already ?

If Asus says it's true, then it's true, since they made it . But maybe some smart XDA dev will find a way to re-lock it.

Just unlocked by bootloader! AWESOME! Cant wait for a custom recovery and new roms!
Hopefully TWRP will be ported over.
I am hoping for AOKP!
Anyone able to unlock a bricked tab? That would be top notch...
Nevermind, I see it's a .apk file
Now we can have the stock ROM rooted without any modifications so we can get root without downgrading our firmware. New kernels, too?
Im receiving this tablet in the mail this week.
Im hoping for a quick port of CWM and then CM9 or AOKP to follow.
great circumstances to walk into!

No doubt. I just got this tab on Sunday after a month of researching and was super bummed that the bootloader was locked.
Does the release of the bootloader, mean it will be easier to root and not have to do the downgrade any longer?
I spent last night to no avail trying to downgrade (the adb access was an issue, which I might have solved today, but haven't put the time in to test it out).
If it means that I won't have to do the downgrade and it might be end up having easier steps to root, then I think (being too much a newbie in tablets) I should wait.
Just wanted to know if that is what this release means?
Thanks!

Bootloader means custom recovery and then custom ROM's. If you intend to continue running stock rom and merely want to be rooted, then you may still need to figure out the downgrade issue. If you just wanna run cm 9, then you could just continue to wait patiently. Sounds like you oughta figure out ur adb issue either way, though.

I got a new Arc S phone and was told by the seller the OS cannot be changed? Does it mean that you can't upgrade android version to 3 or 4? I never heard this before. Anyway with knowledge on this pls let me know! Perhaps the seller does not know the phone can be rooted! I found out that not all updates are avaliable for the Arc S if they come from different countries.
I found out you need to flash it! Oh dear. Can anyone let me know if this is the right way of doing it? Flashing your phone to install android 4.0 on the phone? Will it just erase your phone so there are not icons etc? Thanks!

You can upgrade Android to ICS but you can't run another OS such as Windows Mobile on Arc S. The seller may not have made himself clear about this issue.
If you are new to this, just use Sony Update Service and follow the instructions on screen. If you have some knowledge about flashing then you can use Emma or flashtool to flash a ftf file. Note that both methods will wipe you personal data so don't forget to backup your data before flashing.

Thanks for replying..I spoke to a representative and they told me too not all countries release updates for the phone! That is very strange! It also told me on my phone that I got the latest software android 2. Won't update anymore.
I have not got an SD card but i will and will try out the sony site to see if it work and then flash if I can't get update from sony site..
So I think I figure it out and I know how to flash too. Thanks!
Yes thanks for telling me I can run windows on it.
Sony releases updates, however operators can limit it. If phone does have branded firmware (firmware, which includes operator side stuff), then you will only receive updates, that operator allows and not Sony global ones.
Also, do not believe everything the sellers say. I have heard all kinds of crap from them, most of it being false.
Is there another service to send in my HTC 10 since the service by Sunshine doesn't exist?
I am unable to unlock the bootloader, the Sunshine app gives me a failure. I have no OEM bootloader option in the developer tools. I've made several attempts using the various forums so I can root the phone without success. I feel it's time to send it out to someone who can assist me.

If your htc 10 is still on Nougat and ISN'T a Verizon device, then I think you can use Sunshine to S-OFF, don't hold me too it, but I believe you can. :good:
just download the app and try it out, it won't take your $$ of anything if it doesn't work, can't hurt to try.
I believe it is not working for Oreo and Pie htc 10 variants, and Verizon is needed to do by mail I think unless they fixed it for Verizon N as well.
Don't remember. but the website still says they do mail in, but I don't think they still are.
Give it a try and report back.

SunShine was unable to gain root access to your device. You may need to gain "TempRoot" or "PermRoot" through some other means. For HTC Devices, unlocking with HTCDev.com and rooting with a custom recovery may work.

You can 100% unlock the bootloader @ htcdev and flash custom ROMs, you don't need soff for that.
I wouldn't update from N firmware until you try a few things out.
Maybe unlocking bl and rooting then sunshine will work?

Ah, that's good, didn't know that.
I'm gonna wait a few more days for an answer from the devs of the last app on my phone that can't back up via adb and its own backup process is broken. After that I'm gonna do what you said.
Is the guide I linked above ok or is there maybe an XDA guide to doing that? I looked at the Guides subforum here but there's too much stuff and I've never rooted a phone b4 so I'm not sure which thread I'm supposed to be looking at :silly:

No, I've got the EU version (or I suppose I do, I bought it in the EU). I meant that I got it from a retailer, not a cell network company like Verizon, since I see those need some special treatment. Software number is 2.41.401.41

Hi guys
I do have an unusual situation here. Got a Honor View 20 Test device (or presample) directly from a Honor guy. I'm really happy about it as the bootloader is already unlocked. Okay, I honestly don't know what's the plus about it as I can't find a TWRP for this one.
Anyway, my main issue is the installed test ROM:
It shows:
Model: VNA-L29
EMUI Version 8.1
Android Version 8.0
Internal Memory 32GB
RAM 4GB
Using DevCheck System Info App it shows the truth:
Android Version 9.0
Internal Memory 128GB
RAM 6GB
There are some testing apps on it which I can't uninstall. One of them locks the phone after some days if I'm logging in. I have to do a hard reset to make it work again.
Updating the ROM in Recovery doesn't work. Uninstalling the app doesn't work. I'm thinking about trying to update to an official ROM thru DLOAD or HiSuite but this would lock the bootloader I guess - if it's even possible. So if I would be able to install TWRP and an official ROM to use with TWRP I should be able to update it.
Any idea? Every help is appreciated! Thank you!
---------------------
Update: I took the risk and just flashed the actual ROM 238 from androidhost.ru thru DLOAD. Phone works like charm and device still has an unlocked bootloader.
Thanks!

Huawei/Honor devices cannot be unlocked. So there is no active community with CFW developements so there is no point whatsoever of going in to shady sites and trying to 'unlock' your device bootloader.
You can try to update with download method(as it is the only way) If you brick the phone just recycle it and be done with it. There is not many options.

Thanks for your feedback. As I wrote at the end of my first post I updated with the regular firmware. Everything works smooth and the bootloader is still unlocked.
I'll try this at the weekend with the manual I found on XDA. There are CFW for a lot of Honor and Huawei devices but the firmware is quite old so I'll not even try .

Why would you say that when it is clearly possible? My Honor View 20 is unlocked and has Magisk running on it. There are other people with an unlocked bootloader, just look at the "Root Guide" Thread.
The problem is getting the unlock code. As far as i know there are no trustworthy providers at the moment so please be carfeful!

Because there is no official way to unlock phones bootloader(you cannot get unlock code, at least officially) If you are willing to give your personal info in shady sites, that is your own risk and fault if your IMEI get's in to wrong hands....
So basicly im guessing there is 90% locked vs 10% unlocked Huawei/Honor phones in the world. :good: Congrats if you are 'geek' enough and went true the shady process to get in those 10%. BUT there is no active developements of CFW. Yes there is some but they are unstable...
Oh yeah and official security apps(like banking, to pay with nfc) for security reasons check phones bootloader and if it is rooted/unlocked then you cannot start them. I dont know if it is worth the trouble anymore to bang on your chest and root your android just because of ''freedom''....
Again, it IS possible, thats what i'm saying. Nothing more, nothing less. So if you say 'its is not possible to unlock bootloader' then thats just plain wrong. Everyone should be able to make an informed decision for themselves, we're not children anymore. I definitely agree that you shouldn't give your data to some shady site.
In addition, i'm not sure what unlocking and rooting yout phone has to do with 'banging on your chest'.
Although the advantages may be minor nowadays, they are still there. The banking apps (i'm using) work just fine. If you are used to rooting your phone then its hard to accept all the restrictions
Regards
Previously ive rooted all my androids aswell. But ive stopped on my last main device(4years ago) because when you have full official support, whats the point? The hustle of manually flashing weekly because of updates and bug fixes... Meehh. Its not 2010 anymore when it was 'cool' to have a rooted phone(thats why the chest expression. )
If the device is like 3years old and dosent have update support anymore from the manufacturer
then it is a different story. Then you can flash newer custom android version and play with the device more to extend phone pocket life.
Ehmm i guess it is in country's security law or something. Because here where i live none of the banking apps work if you have rooted phone, when you open it just sayes that security check failed and error code(that you have a rooted phone)
neither lot of cupon apps where there is your sensitive info. ???Even mcdonalds app dosent let to use cupons on my rooted phone.
I have older rooted android to play on in my spare time. ?
Think we're on the same page anyway, right?
Guess i am lucky that i have rooted phone with apps and updates working. Though, i have to mention this again, i'm not sure what that has to do with being cool. Ppl are not bragging about it (at least no one i know ever has), its just that i like to have as many customization options as possible. Coming from a Xiaomi device i felt pretty restricted at the beginning
Doesn't matter, have a nice day!

Hi,
It seems like there is no update for my device, since I bought it. I have checked manually on the phone and in Xperia companion as well.
In general I am not really interested in updates, but as I read the "Green tint" issue is solved by software upgrade, so it would be great to have it.
These is the current one:
Phone software revision:
62.0.A.3.28
GLOBALEEA-A2 - user
I also don't know what the "-user" means here. As I see other forum member got the update for GLOBALEEA-A2 (without the "-user" if I understood well).
Is it something I can do for getting the upgrade, or should I just wait (I am aware of upgrades can come later for different CDAs)?
Thank you in advance.
I would recommend you to try reflashing your phone via Sony's official flashing tool Emma. It does often help with software-related problems such as this.
Thanks,
I will do so.
Is flashing with Emma voids warranty? Is it deletes user data (like factory reset)?
Thanks and Merry Christmas

You need to unlock bootloader which voids the warranty. So unfortunately yes.
But you can always relock it afterwards which may make your warranty show as non-void.
It does delete all user data as you are flashing the firmware and overwriting the full storage.
Happy holidays.
First you can try Xperia companion, if that doesn't work you can use XperiFirm to download the firmware and then use Newflasher to flash it. You should remove persist file from the firmware before flashing. This method requires no bootloader unlock.
Otherwise there's EMMA as mentioned.

The same to me, I bought an Xperia 10 III directly from the Sony store, that is no brand, with software version 62.0.A.3.28 GLOBALEEA-A2 - user. I tried several times to get updates, both from the device and from PC (Xperia Companion), with no luck.
At the end, I backed up the phone twice, first time manually connecting it the my PC, second time via Google One, than I used the Xperia Companion to make a Software Repair, now I have 62.0.A.3.163. This way is rather boring since I had to manually re-set several apps, which weren't correctly restored from the backup(s).
I hope I will able to get updates in the future, if this is not the case I will try the XperiFirm + Newflasher way in order to try to keep my data.

First you can try Xperia companion, if that doesn't work you can use XperiFirm to download the firmware and then use Newflasher to flash it. You should remove persist file from the firmware before flashing. This method requires no bootloader unlock.
Otherwise there's EMMA as mentioned.

hi lufei, just for my curiosity: the persist file you mention to remove, can you tell me why?
I've flashed the 10 III and 5 II (using Newflasher) for the same problem mentioned here in the thread, unfortunately. Many Xperia are afflicted by this problem with no OTA updates and i don't know why.
For me, re-locking the bootloader helped. It is possible that the unlocked bootloader is blocking updates.

According to the Newflasher thread on XDA you will lose attest keys if you do, which might affect functionality.
really thanks guys. I'm not an expert in the modding, and every info can help me to better understand the situation.
What can i do to see if the Bootloader is locked/unlocked on my Xperia? There is a code to put in the dialer perhaps?
