Ok so I've spent quite some time trying to unlock my bootloader and then I just try'ed to flash the update and I've come to realise that files are not being unzipped properly on my computer since I'm unabled to even load any of my new unzipped downloads into my flash tool I was wondering if any one could send me a link to an good file zip program ?

so i sold it and bought a new one just to have a unlockable bootloader @[email protected]
Yeah that would make sence cause I still cant seem to unlock it and I spent days trying .

No. And there are no free methods to unlock the R800x, thanks to Verizon. But if you click the link in my Signature on Aledandrissimo's name, it will take you to his site. You can have him do it for $24.00. He's very safe and reliable. All the details are there.

That link is for the xplays with imei codes. The cdma version has a meid. So u can't unlock it that way. There is no way to unlock the cdma xplay for free

Yes it works with that version. You don't need to back anything up prior to rooting as it won't wipe anything.
Thanks for the reply spectre51 im glad I dont need 2 wipe my phone

You can use flashtool for flashing firmware on locked bootloader
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium
Download the original .55 firmware
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/32d781xcq7vx5re/v6ercyFTgS#
Extract and put the ftf file in the flashtool/firmware folder
In Flashtool click in the upper left ray and select flash mode.
Select the downloaded firmware and click ok.
Power off the phone and connect while press volume down
When finished reboot your phone
Good luck and sorry for my english

hello
i have been in this forum for a while now and its awesome to learn how ours phone work.
thks for the help
right now i have a problem, i got a lt26i (my boss phone), he gave me the phone a few days ago, saying that the phone was inoperable due it always appear "recommender app is not working".
i took the phone, made a backup and then try to "restore the phone" to default, the process went fine, the phone rebooted and when finished the restart process, the phone was exactly in the same way it was a few minutes ago.
that surprised me, but, i continue with the next step, USE FLASHTOOL.:fingers-crossed:
i was confident with this step, i did select the firmware LT26i_6.1.A.2.50_1257-5499_WORLD.ftf, and everything went fine, and again when the phone restared, nothing, in the same spot.
after that, i thought that maybe if i install a custom kernel and rom, maybe i could have access to the phone again, but no, due i cant take root access or install any recovery program.
i dont know what else can use or do.
thks in advance for your response
AND SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH
regards

Its bootloader, is it unlocked?
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Dude,
You could also try Sony update service to push original stock firmware to the device.
But this will wipe all data and will only work if you have not unlocked the bootloader

well, the bootloader is unlocked, so i guess im $%"#ed! any other ideas?
