[Q] I hesitate to unlock my boot. Help - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I would strongly have a super good kernel and have cm10, be in JB and all that .. The trouble is that I do not dare to unlock my bootloader, afraid of having problems with my Arc S immediately after since it is still under warranty. You advise me to do what? The Arc S t he hardware problems?
Thank you

Just unlock it, yoy can always relock it if you need to send it for repair. Or you can use s1tools to unlock it.

If you take care of your phone and always know what you put in it then by all means go ahead. You've nothing to lose. And yes, you can always relock it if you want to send it in.

I take care of my phone .. My Arc S does not even have a single claw! I bought an express hull for not damaged. But as said above, once unlocked, I lose the warranty ..

you can lock it again -> warranty back if you ever need it

Yes you lose warranty if you unlock BL but you can always lock it, most of the time they will still honour your warranty (unless they check your DRM keys but there are methods that preserve them) . So just go ahead and unlock BL, but if you're still paranoid you can always do it once your warranty expires.
Custom kernels make your phone new.

I wish I had a tutorial to unlock a tutorial for re-lock with the method to be re warranty. Please, I do not understand English, I speak from translation. (I speak French.)
My problem is just due to the loss of the warranty .. But if you know how to ensure the re-re-locking the bootloader, there is no problem but I would like confirmation.

It can be done. I have relocked my bootloader before so that I can restore my phone using SEUS.
Sorry that I can't speak French, Japanese is my other language.

Well this is my last post before I unlock the boot or not! In my place, knowing that it is still guaranteed (I've since 3 months) do you unlock the?

If you want to use CM10, you DEFINITELY need to unlock bootloader because CM10 uses custom kernel.

Salut !
Je pense que si tu veux vraiment profiter de JellyBean, tu ne tiendras pas longtemps avec un BL verrouillé !
Perso, je l'ai déverrouillé officiellement alors que je suis encore sous garantie, et je n'ai jamais eu de problemes.
Après, c'est personnel, mais il y a pas mal de rom custom très sympa pour bootloader verrouillés
A+

Okay merci
En rentrant chez moi je le deverrouillere .
As tu Skype ?
J'aimerais bien parler avec toi après le déverrouillage pour me conseiller un kernel, mettre jb, overlock etc. Merci

non je n'ai pas skype, mais on peut parler en mp.
Sinon regarde dans la rubrique dévelopment !

Ok ke vais t envoyer un mp ppur sauver ton nom

It's like you want... But if I were you, I would have unlocked it 3 months ago !
And like the others said, you can re-lock if you want ! :angel:

I guess you flashed a 2.0 firmware. Try to flash a 1.2 fw as a full download then try the 2.0 again...

I have no other idea...
Ensure that you don't forgot a step , that you have the lastest drivers for your PC and the last version of the flashing software.
Then try again and again... I don't see an other solution.
Maybe you are just unlucky but what you said doesn't sound good...

[Q] Coded Defy Orange Fr

Hello!
My friend buys recently a defy in France with orange label and it seems coded because he cannot use another sim (he is in africa). I want to know if flash with rsd lite with a naked retail fr can resolve his problem.
Thanks for the help
Non, je pense qu'il va devoir demander une clé de désimlockage a Orange FR, mais ca va etre payant si ca fais moins de 3 mois qu'il est chez eux...

I think if you flash cm7 it is what yo can call softunlocked. There was something about mound fake partitions in bootmenu. Search google for "softunlock".
Sent from my MB525
I would definitely root the phone, install 2ndinit, make a nandroid backup of his stock rom and then install CM7.
That way, he will have his answer, a way to go back to stock state for warranty purpose AND the best rom to have on his phone.
Bonne chance et bien du plaisir avec son Defy.
Defy is a good phone. I have a naked french defy for a year and recommended defy+ to him but unfortunately he buys a coded defy (with android eclair). He buys it last week.
According cm7, I tried it but it uses more data and battery than my froyo. After cm7, can he use my froyo backup?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
I just read today that custom recovery will not work (can't read from sd card) on Eclair
So your friend will have to use rsd to flash a froyo sbf before going any further.
Cheers

I have a MB525 from T-mobile Austria with cm7 and soft unlocked. It works great, but what I noticed is a slightly low battery life.

Hi all,
I just received my LG Optimus G Pro from Singapore...
All is working but not 4G LTE...my phone is not recognize as complient to my network (France) even if it work on 2600MHz Frequency...
So i'd like to put an E986 .kzd file to be able to turn on my provider's 4G...
I have tried the R&d method, but I got "extract error" every time....even by re downloading .kdz...
I have tried by modifying "host" file too....
So, my question :
Is there a way to put in an E986 stock rom ?....or something else working in France on 2600MHz network
My phone is root and I got this informations about it :
LG-F240L
Android 4.4.2

Could someone send baseband E986 and/or F240L for France plz...?
hi (salut)
moi aussi j ai un lg coreen et j aimerai faire comme toi car j ai le meme probleme pour la 4g.
t chez free ?
I think there is no solution for you. You have to buy the europe version.
There are 2 solutions for no network: 1. You flash back with kdz of f240l or 2. You install cwm on it and flash the baseband

Oui, chez Free....il est pas reconnu donc impossible d'activer la 4G....
Il faut root le phone mais surtout le rendre s-off....ce que j'ai réussi a faire en mettant la version francaise...mais plus de réseau...pour récupérer le fichier pour le réseau, il faut le prendre dans la version coréenne mais uniquement celle débloquée...

D852 Fido

Hello,
I have D852 from Fido (Quebec) that I really like and want to keep.
Until recently, it had stock MM and everything was fine.
I downgraded to LP 5.0.1 Telus that I downloaded from storagecow.eu (file name is TELUS D85220F_00.kdz) and managed to get it rooted.
I then tried to install TWRP and for whatever reason, it doesn't work.
I used ADB, AutoRec, Flashify, TWRP Official App, nothing works.
They all show that the installation is successful but when I try to boot to recovery (Quickboot, ADB, Power&Vol-), all I get is red/blue led flashes then I press Volume Down and the phone boots normally.
I really want to get TWRP on it so I can flash the latest Oreo on it.
Thank you in advance
flash with BELL D85220xx.kdz

Hi Funjet,
I can't seem to be able to flash Bell_D85220k (currently have Telus_D85220f) or any other KDZ onto my phone.
I'm using the same LGUP that I used to downgrade from MM to LP, on the same computer, same USB cable and USB port and I keep getting an error after 9%.
The error message says "Error : [18: 3:35] Port Open is failed after DLOAD change."
I'm using LGUP 1.14 and the DLL Version is 0.3.19.15. Any idea what's wrong and how to fix it?
I would have included an image but don't see how to attach a file to a thread.
Thank you,
Try my LGUP...
peut-etre que !

Downloaded it! Thank you.
Tried it and it says Model - Unknown, COM Ports - [COM4, D85220f], which is the Telus KDZ I applied on it.
When I click Select, it says You have to select a known model, please.
What's missing, the right DLL?
Where are you at? Montreal? I am in Montreal.
Is there a way to communicate with you directly?

Bonjour Funjet,
Merci pour le fichier.
J'ai essayé d'exécuter InstallUSB.exe et InstallUSB64.exe mais ils ne font rien sur mon ordinateur de Windows 10.
Est-ce une application portable ou doit-elle être installée? Si installé, comment?

Hello Funjet, I'm sorry, I have to post this one in English...
I think I finally figured out what I did! I extracted the laf.img file in order to get TWRP installed and since TWRP never installed, I now can't get into download mode.
The strange thing is that I have two laf.img files, one on my internal storage and one on my SDcard. The one in my internal storage is 16.5MB and the one on the SDcard is 32MB.
How do I know which one to install? Is there any difference at all? Could there be problems if I install the wrong one?
Thank you,
