Hey guys I love my xperia but... The stock rom suckssssss. And cause my bl is locked most of the custom roms won't work on my phone...
I oppened this topic to know if someone knew what exactly is the bootoader unlocking I mean how it works (do bootloader unlocker delete and rewrite the bootloader or juste change a setting in it? Can it ne done with the developplment tool? Etc...)
Plz do not explain me that bootloader unlocking is the process that I need to install custom roms etc... I know what it is but I want to understand HOW it works.
Sry for my bad english if you can't understand something just ask me

to simpifly, you can think that the bootloader is like a safety-system. The sony makes it to accept their rom only and block others, like a kind of filter. When you unlock it, the bootloader will accept all roms, no limits.
Yup I know that but what makes this programm so difficult to rewrite? I know that its the programm that run before the os but why nobody founds a hack to unlock it without paying? Is it too hard or sony forbid free unlocking?
And again my question how does bootloader works? If someone know the code could it copy it?

It is for free. Sony created a website purposing for unlocking bootloader for those who want to unlock.
Its easy to unlock bootloader nowadays. When im was using my xperia x8, it took 8 freakin months to bypass the bootloader...

Oh boy, you missed a lot here. Take a look at guides in the general threads.
Its free to unlock bootloader
The imei way unlock (DRM data loss)
Testpoint unlock (no loss, fully safe), easier to relock and nobody can know if it was unlocked or not

I know that the bootloader of defy is locked. I ve heard that Quarx is going to unlock it in the next version!!! Is it real??
Has anyone unocked the bootloader?????
Bootloaders can be unlocked usually by brute force method..... If the bootloader of defy is unlocked then its great news not only for defy users but for other moto users as it will help break the encryption of other phones.
NAH!!
What you tell is rooting........I m asking about unlocking it permanently...!!!!
nope its about bootloaders only.. Lol if its unlocked its unlocked.
Rooting is just a simple process of granting user access to restricted parts of the software.
A bootloader is different. Its the first thing that starts and it activates the kernel after checking and matching the kernel...like a security pass. Sorry if i am wrong but this is a general idea and i am not wellversed with this knowledge..
How can quarcx unlock the bootloader? What would be the benefit, we have 2ndinit.

he is not going to unlock the bootloader.
the french gay just found an bug in the bootloader, it doesn't check the signature in some specific condition.
Quarx is going to use it to make the cm7 in the form of sbf.
this action doesn't means he can unlock the bootloader and do everything he wants.

has anybody an idea if a carrier locked arc s production date 12w25 can be bootloader unlocked.?
i already have an omnius licence but it doesnt work?
thx for reply
Have you tried *#*#7378423#*#* to check if your bootloader can be unlocked(it's in configuration) Evan if it's a no search YouTube for a video 'by bluechipj' and he explains exactly how it can be done, although if it's a no you will have to use the 'paid for' unlocking service.

i know that i have to use the paid method therefore i have an omnius licence, but it is not working because i have a newer security because of production date 12w25. and i wanted to ask if there is any way how i can unlock my bootloader ?

Hi everyone ! I have a Xperia Arc LT15i and I found out using *#*#7378423#*#* that I cannot unlock bootloader (Bootloader unlock allowed: No). How I can unlock my bootloader because I want a ROM like CM9 or JJ's Hybrid and it`s must to have bootloader unlock. Please help me with unlocking the bootloader, or please help to find a ROM like CM9 without unlock my bootloader. I want to say that I am not very skilled Waiting for more tips.
download flashtool then Plug in > unlock bootloader
it will guide you to sony's web page, copy paste the code and let flashtool unlock it
Actually JJ's ROM doesn't require an unlocked boot loader.

If you have bootloader unlock allowed:no standing, then you can't unlock it with Sony service, because your IMEI number is then 15 symbols long, so no way for unlocking bl without paying for services like setool

Hi,
If you have bootloader unlock allowed:no , you can unlock it with Omnius :laugh:, but is not free, 15€/unlock .
I unlocked my LT15i with Omnius, I had "unlock allowed:no" before.
So .. I can't unlock my bootloader, only if I paid :crying:
Setool & Omnius links?
you guys got any links related to this Omnius and Setool things? or other alternatives for Xperias stating that unlocking bootloader is not allowed?.. I had thought that if they say so, it was just impossible to unlock...
Unlock for free

just go here unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com
I'm starting to get angry I said and ludz179 in answer above you I can not unlock the bootloader so because the Service Info says Bootloader unlock allowed: No
was only giving info you say your phone says cannot unlock boot loader then from wat iv seen there is no way to unlock it.
but there is lots of roms out there that run well on none unlocked bootloaders and using new flashtool seems easy plus using DooMLoRD to root the phone .. I think the only way to do it would be to send it to sony service to unlock but knowing them you go no chance
just trying to help thats all
Can't help enquiring.You mention that there are several roms that are available which does not need to have the bootloader unlock.Could you give me the links please.

Sorry,found it.2 threads down.Thank you.
I originally had an xperia c1905 but cross flashed c2005 FW onto my device. What i find really annoying is that when i open the configuration in the service menu i find out that i cannot unlock the bootloader, ie, bootloader unlock allowed no. I haver read online and i have researched it, but other posts were made in 2013, i thought id ask ahain in 2014. Is there any possible way whatsoever of unlocking my phone's bootloader? will i ever be able to do it? Are there any modern ways that i might have missed?
Guys please dont tell me to send my phone to sony and they will unlock it for me. I have already tried it, but fot no response from sony. I have even contacted o2( my sim carrier) and asked about information on how to unlock, they told me that they cannot comment on that subject.:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
If u have any information, i need your help, thank you!

As far as I know, no way of unlocking your bootloader if it says no. You still can try the regular bootloader unlocking procedure method, the only thing that may occur is it not working...
Or it can brick the device just leave it for now and wait for the time being there might be a way of doing it if it gets found if not the new firmware that's getting released shortly might lift the ban off the bootloader

I have the same problem. Please somebody need to find a way to unlock it. I bought my phone from Orange. I flashed the stock Sony's firmware and rooted it. I can't flash any CyanogenMod :crying: My old Galaxy Ace hasn't got any locks or something, installing custom roms was easy, but on this phone for me it's almost imposible...
I stumbled on a post on the Sony Talk forums the other day that stated if you carrier unlock your phone (so you can use any SIM card) and then flash an unbranded ROM the bootloader unlock status changes from No to Yes. This statement was made by a moderator on the forums and I have no idea how well the procedure will work.
Oh, the post was regarding the Z too so I'm not sure if it applies to the M.

Hi everyone,
maybe this is a wrong place to post this but im getting desperate.
How can i unlock my bootloader (xperia arc s). But the major problema is when i go to details menu it says this:
bootloader unlock allowed - no
And as far as i search all people says i cant unlock it....
If someone can help me i really aprreciate. or at least tell me some good room for my phone.
I need to give it a new life. Start to close and reboot very often... and right now i dont whant to spend money in other device
Thank you all for the support.
As it says - you are not allowed to unlock the bootloader AFAIK
If you try to attempt the usual unlock bootloader, you'll get hard brick

So basicly im stuck with the phone as it is? I cant install good rooms or whatsoever? what a shame :/
Really appreciate your feedback.
thanks.
You can root your phone and install some roms with the ability to install on a locked bootloader - but most of them are GB or ICS. If youre looking for JB or KK you're out of luck

Search,there's ROMs available for locked bootloader
