Xperia Arc S
Hello everybody, im new here so if im doing something wrong lemme know.
Im looking to unlock the bootloader of my sony ericsson, but instead of Xperia Arc mine is Xperia Arc S. I don't know if there is any difference since the phones are very similiar.
I didn't found any topic about my problem, so if you consider this as different stuff, i can make a new topic.
Thanks in advance!

Method for Arc works on Arc S, too.
So send them a pm if you don't want to use Sony Ericsson's method.

Will unlocking my bootloader erase my data?
Hello,
I own a Xperia Arc, LT15i.
Running on 2.3.4 (4.0.A.0.42),ROOTED.
I wanna unlock my bootloader to install a custom ROM.
Will this erase my data?
If so, What all data?
Having a nandroid backup will restore my data?
Thank you

If unlock bootloader, arc will wipe,erase app and all data. You can make nandroid after unlock bootloader by flash cwm recovery image

[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.

What I was meaning by my post is that, you should ask your question in the thread that has the Original Post(OP) issue. You could post your issues about clearing up the steps in the OP, in the thread that everyone reads for information. You should post your own steps in that thread also.
chances are someone else will have the same issue and you will be able to help.
You could PM the author of the OP for the thread with some helpful suggestions or even re-write it as an example.
no offence was intended, just help.

The link for rooting GB/ICS is below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29713944&postcount=1
The OP of that thread clearly says there are three methods and the third method is supposed to be easiest, then why would one want to got to other options. If one is using ICS he is supposed to use 3rd method
I don't see what is there so difficult to follow or confusing and more over every one here helps out each other. You just need to post in correct section.
I don't know how long you have been in this forum, but the thread was started when we had just GB and no rooting method and it has been updated as and when we got better rooting methods.
The problem with all the new arrivals into this forum is that they do not have patience to read through the posts.

[Q] Xperia ION software update

Hi xda,
I'm new in this forum
I bought a Sony Xperia ION (LT28at) and I rooted with a .bat file
How can I install Jelly Bean versions if my bootloader is locked
It says: Bootloader unlock allowed: NO
Thanks for your help
and sorry for my English ;D

Instead of posting a new thread, use the search button and read please. This topics were discussed many times.
You will get Jelly Bean when it will be released. Official JB for iON not yet released.
You can update official JB with a locked bootloader also. Unlocking bootloader not required.
But Bootloader unlocking required if you want to use any custom ROM and post questions in Q/A forum next time please.

Thanks for your reply and your welcome,
I know, the ION doesn't have Jelly Bean, but I can install a JB Custom ROM?
Can you please put the url to unlock my bootloader?
Its secure to do that?

If your bootloader status says this= "Bootloader unlock allowed: NO"
then i am afraid you won't be able to unlock the bootloader using the traditional way by yourself my friend.
You either have to pay for it or contact your carrier for unlocking. But i think JB for iON may not be very far, so u can wait if u want.

JB was released today in America for the LT28at by the way.
Try to use the Sony PC software to do the update.

Thanks for the civilized reply. I suppose that's the one. I haven't agreed to the update yet, so shame on me for assuming it was 4.1
it's definitely misleading that their JB updates rolled out today and this BS update came out too though.
OP, you're SOL man.. at least until Sony and AT&T actually decide to update this thing like they said they would months ago.
