[Q] BL unlocking method

Hy
J want to unlock my bootloader and j use the sonys method(http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions) in step 2.(In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.) My phone say NO (ARC S .431,locked BL,rooted,J bouht to Telenor (so it's dependent) Is there any way to unlock my bootloader ????

I'm not even sure if I want to reply. Did you try using the SEARCH feature? It's there for a reason. Hell, it even asks you to read a few threads before you start a new thread if it thinks the topic is similar!
There's no free way of unlocking your bootloader. There are a couple of members here who do it for a reasonable fee. The names? Use the SEARCH.

Unlocking Bootloader Issues and WiFi Issues.

Okay so I had a look to see if I could unlock my bootloader the SE way (http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions) but when I did the whole *#*#.............#*#* thing it said I cant unlock my bootloader, is this just them saying I cant or is that a definate and final NO?
My other problem is that when I am downloading torrents through any torrent client my WiFi keeps dropping and reconecting, any ideas?

Which way do you want to unlock? Your device is xpeir arc or arc S?
If arc (not arc S), you can use omunius (please seach by google with omunius).
After unlock xperia arc by omunius, you can see the information unloked allowed:yes, but, it is actually unlocked.
If you use SE unlock, you can see the boot loader unlocked: yes.

I have got an arc S (LT18i), Android Version is 4.0.3. Do you need any other info?
I want to remove the Bootloader Lock, Root and learn how to change the Kernel (I know nothing about Kernels yet).

Sorry, my question didn't have no meaning.
If you see the "Bootloader unlock allowed : no", you cannot unlock Sony's official way.
You have to use some unofficial way, like omunius which require some fees, to remove DRM. If you unlock by omunius, you does not lose DRM feature. But I don't know the way to re-lock the bootloader.

I looked around but couldn't find definitive answer hense the question and as for the torrent, if I wanted to used a pc I would or I would use one of my laptops, but I dont, I want to use my phone. Cheers for the point sarcastic answer though

The answer to bootloader unlocking is in the stickys, which if People read more it would reduce the amount of duplicate threads, and as for torrenting, I just don't see the point of doing it on a phone.

It's quite simple...
...and better than S.E's method as it retains DRM.

If you'd typed your thread title in to Google and added Arc at the end you would already know. I don't understand why People are still making posts about something that's been covered again and again and again for at least the last year and a half.
See the first link in my sig.

Go to google and Google that with your phone name.. Pick the official Sony website link.. Follow steps correctly and your boot loader will unlock... If you have any questions email me...

Hopefully yeah, it's a bit of a kick in the teeth from Sony and don't know why, when they know about the communities on sites like xdadevelopers that want full access to their own Phones, don't give us hidden menus so we can enable root or easily unlock the bootloader.

[Q] Sony Xperia ZQ important questions

Hi, I m from Brazil
I just bought a Xperia ZQ and it s my first Sony. Can you help me with some questions?
I ve already know that I can change my carrier version by another registered one downloaded right here in xda website without root or unlock the bootloader, right?
As I m not a developer, why would I need to root and unlock the bootloader?
Where, if It is possible, can I find different skins and themes for it?
How can I know about new upates? For example, new releases of firmware or android versions?
Thank you

Its called Xperia ZL so just search it on the search for device bar. You dont have to be a developer to unlock as unlocking can give you cool roms that can be very much customized.

You get updates thru SONY and you will get a notification when you can get a update.
To see if you can unlock your bootloader go to
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions as it will tell you the directions then once you have unlocked, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2095 and find some roms. ( its a little dangerous if you dont know what your doing ) and UNLOCKING will void the warranty

If you have already unlocked your bootloader, without backing up your Drm Keys, then you wont get the bravia engine back.

I havent unlocked my bootloader yet. I just rooted (the bootloader changed unlockable yes to no), installed cwm and made a backup using cwm, saved in internal storage. Is that enough? Is this backup saved the drm keys?
Thank you

Use the tutorial I have linked above, with that method you will get your phone back to factory-state when you want to.

I have a unrelated question, because I'm planning to buy this phone here in Brazil. Battery is something you can rely on with 3G on?

The phone is fantastic, but the battery is below average even with 3g, altough the relates i hear about SIV are even worse. Since HTC don't sell officialy in Brazil anymore, i don't trust in LG and Motorola don't have a rival for these phones i think ZQ is the best choise.
I'm a heavy user, so i charge it twice a day,but with moderate use + stamina mode i think you can get a day of battery.
