Just ignore that step and carry on... if your bootloader can't be unlocked via that method then it'll just throw an error.

[Q] Another noob question

I have a Xperia Arc s on stock .587 firmware and I wanted to flash Lupus kernel on it, but I can't enter on Fastboot mode
Is there any other method to flash .img kernels on the device?

If bootloader's not unlocked, you can't flash lupus kernel and any other custom kernel but stock lol :cyclops:

Do you know of any root resource for this version?
Thanks.

There's a thread explaining how to root 4.3 by DoomLord (don't have the link, search for it, its out there) .... But I think it's only for an unlocked bootloader at the moment. Didn't see anything about rooting a BL locked phone.

I tried using doomlord v18 but it didn't work.

I think that's exactly because my bootloader is blocked (I don't want to loose bravia engine 2). Thanks.

If you want to keep your DRM and Bravia Engine, you first have to backup your TA partition using this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
Then follow these steps to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583805

The solution is common to all z series..
Step 1. Download and install the latest version ftf which is rootable.
Step 2. Root it and install recovery.
Step 3. Wipe data,system,etc for a new installation from recovery.
Step 4. Download the latest 4.3 version which is flashable via recovery ( probably that package created by a nice dev out here will contain a recovery and is fully rooted). Or else, before reboot, install recovery flashable super user package and recovery.
Step 5. Dont reboot the os. But boot into flash mode. And flash a striped ftf file which contains the corresponding 4.3 kernel and baseband.
Step 6. Reboot and enjoy rooted 4.3

err on the side of kindness

Virgin in Canada is the i747m, not i747. Check in About to confirm which baseband and model you have before flashing anything.

Mine is i747 not m

For the i747, you can flash the stock i747 4.1.1 firmware from sammobile.com using Odin. Then, run OTA updates until you get to 4.3 or 4.4.2.
What country is the phone being used in?

In Venezuela.. But by doing that wouldn't I lose the unlocked?
Enviado desde mi GT-N7100 mediante Tapatalk

Once carrier unlocked, the phone will remain unlocked even if you change bootloaders and ROMs.

Ok so I just download the sammobile firmware and flash via odin and thats it
Got it thanks all

wrong place to ask your question..
to answer it, yes, you can.. its very simple too.. theres many threads on this, just look around

Don't bother with that now, the unlocked (U1) phone just got the June update and FM Radio.
