Hi
I tried to unlock my Xperia Play boot loader using http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
but when use command (fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version) or (fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY)
I get this
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools>fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
commands:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip
flashall 'flash boot' + 'flash system'
flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
erase <partition> erase a flash partition
getvar <variable> display a bootloader variable
boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] download and boot kernel
flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] create bootimage and flash it
devices list all connected devices
reboot reboot device normally
reboot-bootloader reboot device into bootloader
options:
-w erase userdata and cache
-s <serial number> specify device serial number
-p <product> specify product name
-c <cmdline> override kernel commandline
I tried two PC !!! Xp and Windows 7 !!!
I need help to unlock boot loader
I have r800i sim locked free and root .
I can see the blue light ...
I install the driver ...Google USB Driver package revision 4
Thank to chevyowner
I update the FAstBoot file and its working now ...
I attach the new fastboot file
go to the folder everything is extracted to and hold left shift and right click and click on open command window here then put
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
If you see something do...
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY
Put the number sony gave you where it says KEY Then it's unlocked
you need a newer version of fastboot from what you posted
this line is missing from options
-i <vendor id> specify a custom USB vendor id
Rather than using that method I would use the lollylost tutorial in development as I found it much more straight forward.
Also make sure you type the commands correctly to the dot as putting a space or such in the wrong place will not work.

I got a newly acquired Arc and having issues with fastboot. ADB works fine as I'm able to root the phone thru it. The problem I'm having is flashing or booting a kernel img with fastboot. I've unlocked the phone with fastboot and can erase the userdata with it. But anything it seems like that has to push a file to the phone it just sits there.
[email protected]:~$ fastboot flash boot ArcKnight_RC3.img
sending 'boot' (5598 KB)...
I've let it go for about 30 minutes and nothing.
I'm on Debian (Testing) x64. This is holding back progress for me. I've searched around, tried different setups and different fastboot executables, but same outcome.
Thanks
Try using " fastboot -i 0x0fce " then enter your command
Example flash kernel:
Fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot boot.img
Example boot kernel:
Fastboot -i 0x0fce boot boot.img
IF it dont work try adding .exe behind the fastboot
Example:
Fasboot.exe and the rest of the command

One of the things I tried. Same issue. I just understand why fastboot erase and doing the bootloader unlock work but flash doesn't.
I can't do the exe. I'm on Linux. I hope I don't have to find a Windows machine.

You are on blue led all the time ?
Example:
Command, Enter
Waiting for device
Shut phone down, wait a sec.
Hold menu button and connect.
When blue led is on, release menu button
Since your on linux, have you tried the sudo command?

This should work:
If you have fff installed:
Copy the tools folder from KFU to your local disk.
Now power off your Kindle Fire all the way.(all doing)
Then open command prompt and type:
cd c:\tools
fastboot
fastboot getvar store
(now you should see <waiting for device>)
Now power on your Kindle. Now in cmd it should say finished and the time it took.(wating for device..... naver finishe)
Now copy TWRP to your local disk
Then type:
fastboot flash recovery c:\openrecovery-twrp-blaze-2.2.0.img(openrecovery-twrp-blaze certainly in to tool,)
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot reboot
Now as it boots up use your power button to boot into recovery and it should boot into TWRP.
naver ending wating for device~~~~~~~~~~~
cd c:\tools(recovery certainly into c
fastboot
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
(driver re-installing many times ,certainly driver install,well showing driver numbers)
don`t end ,naver ending~~~~~~~~~~wating for device

You just said something that might be your problem because of how different korean characters are in your alphabet maybe just simply changing your computers language to english to complete the process will help

Why don't you just use fmkilo's apk? So much easier.
