Hi there,
Is there a way to unlock this bootloader? Bootloader unlock allowed: NO
I've a C1905 with 4.1.2 (15.1.C.1.17), i've notification of update to 15.1.C.2.8...
thks
No there is no way of doing it, your one of many unlucky people with hard locked bootloaders. Plus that's the old 4.1 update and it's now on 4.3 so update to 15.1.c.2.8 then after that update to 4.3

Sad to say , you cant unlock your bootloader
Well your not really unlucky because Sony is keeping updates for our beloved Xperia M. Just be contented to it .
Thks u all for the quick response...
I'll have to stick with the SE ROM.... i loved costum roms in my old Nexus S...
Can i root the device with any version? or its better to do that before updating?

Well since Play isn't getting official ICS, you'll have to get a custom rom.. Try the Cyanogenmod9 stable release from get.cm

You will need to unlock ur bootloader first , if you havent already?? Wether u want to upgrade GB or to ICS or JB you will need your bootloader unlocked. Check if u can unlock it for free or not by typing in *#*#7378423#*#* in dialler.

Hello friends, good morning!
I have a xperia s with 2.55 Firmwares with locked bootloader. And, finally, I managed to make root through this process:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39498268
I would change the official rom
What do you recommend me?
With the locked bootloader, is it possible for me to put some 4.1 or 4.2?

You cannot install 4.1 or 4.2 ROMs on locked boot loader for now. Sorry. Check the development section for a list of roms that work on locked bootloader. We are not allowed to tell which ROM is the best so you will have to try it for yourself. Sorry again.

Thank you so much for your short but informative reply !
I had already said that i installed CWM on locked bootloader (xperia SL LT26ii) !
Now will it be possible to unlock bootloader ?
Or Is it necessary to remove that installed cwm first and unlock the bootloader ?
thanks in advance !
