After reading the tutorial, I saw that it was in use to open xperia arc Lt15 bootloader and not to open the bootloader xperia arc s Lt18i, whether the way is safe to do on my xperia arc s? and what would happen if I keep up this way?
sorry, I can not speak English very well and thanks for the advice

I have unlocked my bootloader from the Arc whit the testpoint method, using the s1tool, so I don't losing the DRM.
For who want to do this, its only for the Arc, not the Arc S.

But it does unlock a few Xperias.

You can use omnius for the arc s but it will cost some money.

See the first link I gave you.
First link applies only to Arc, not recommended for Arc S.
I am new Arc S owner aswell now, also interested in unlocking via test point method, however I see information that LT18 is not supported by this method. Can someone tell me the real truth?

Bootloader unlock is independent of any firmware on the phone. It is also SEPARATE from SIM/network unlock. Your phone does NOT have to be rooted. SIM unlocking your phone does NOT unlock your bootloader. Flashing your phone does NOT SIM unlock or unlock your bootloader. (However, when you unlock your bootloader with the paid method, the SIM/network unlock is also removed.) SIM/network unlocking is ONCE and PERMANENT and not affected by any firmware.
This works for ANY 2011 Xperia: arc/s, PLAY, neo, neo V, pro, mini, mini pro, ray, active, Live with Walkman.

If S1Tool is from SETool I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Use the TestPoint method then instead of the Official Method, you'll find all you need at the first link in my sig.
The official method is more reliable and i see better for newbies... I highly recommend you continue with the SONY method... Actually when i was it his lvl, test point confused me...

The TestPoint method is better as you retain DRM, and if a video tutorial is too hard to follow, then yes, perhaps the Official no more reliable or better method is the way to go.

Yea you can if you relock your bootloader. The advantages you will get after relocking will be bravia engine, you can receive updates through sony pc companion but you won't able to flash any custom ROM (CM 10 , CM 10.1 etc etc) or any kernel.

Thanks to kangi26 ( Forum moderator) , this thread has been made as a sticky.
Could anyone tell me about a hack/tweak/app that change the vibration feedback intensity? Esp. the haptic feedback when pressing the soft buttons to control back-home-menu. I feel the feedback is bit too much.
hi guys ,
if i unlock my xs's boot-loader , what functions will i loose other than BE and music-info ? because these functions can be back by relocking BL again .
thanks !

AFAIK, BE, Music Info, update support via Sony Update Service and PCM... That is all... Apart from that, it opens up a whole lot of new opportunities to go crazy with your device..

Music info can be regained if u have walkman even with unlocked boot loader. There is a post regarding to this in themes and apps section .
