If you have receipt you can go to Sony service and they change this status for free. You don't have simlock but locked on bootloader. Phone must be from any carrier I have from orange but don't have any sing of this on my phone and stock Sony fw inside only when I bought I had brand fw so you don't know exactly never if has brand or now

Hi Guys
i have the famous front cover brake.
My phone goes to the Service CEnter from Se here in Germany
and they said that i changed the Firmware so the warranty isnt anymore available.
Now i have only unlock the Bootloader and rooted my phone.
Now i have relocked the Bootloader and flashed the stocl 2.3.4 FW on it.
Should i try to resend it to the Service Center ?
or will they still recognize that i unlocked the bootloader ?

They probably won't even notice, btw u meant "front cover break"? The stupid crack near the sensor?
If yes i think its said in that thread that issue it is covered by warranty.
When you unlock the bootloader, you provide to Sony Ericsson the IMEI code of your telephone. I think if you send it again to the Service Center they *might* check in a database if that IMEI has been provided in past to unlock the device... this is why at the moment I prefer not to root (and so not to unlock bl) my Arc s.
yes but they dont want do accept the Warranty
They say that if i unlock the bootloader (and i have done this)
the Warranty is anymore available

+1
And It's said during the unlock procedure that the warranty will be void... at least the official SE procedure...
For hardware issues I don't think we will have that issue. Unlocking Bootloader and Hardware issue is not really related unless we bricking by flash ROM or something.
If u got warranty pls update this post.that will help others.thanks in advance
I read that this warranty is avoid only for SOFTWARE SUPPORT.
Following the law, they should keep in charge all material problem.

It is not possible. As you can see in official instructions, last step:
Code:
Warning! If you perform this step, you will unlock the boot loader and which may void your warranty and/or any warranty from your carrier.
So you void warranty only if you physically unlock your bootloader and perform last step. So requesting unlock code SHOULDN'T void warranty.

Getting an unlock code doesn't mean that you should have unlocked it...it gives you the option. That's it
hello,,
Rooting status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes
does the rooting status of a brand new XPERIA ZL is always this?
Than you.

No. It depends where the phone comes from. If it's from a carrier, it is probably with a locked bootloader. If you buy it from lets say amazon at full price which the phone is already SIM unlocked, it will probably be with a unlockable BL.

I also went to my Sony store and they only had the one branded by Rogers so I guess you better make sure its factory before you purchase it becoz at the moment, theres no way to unlock a BL that is set to NO. ....But maybe someone will come up with an exploit in the near future.
Hello,
Is there anyway to unlock a free Xperia M locked to a Portuguese carrier?
Many thnks
Yes but you must unlock this carrier lock. You can do it in a service for some $$$.

Thnks. Can you tell me how I do that?
Go to any mobile service and ask that they can unlock your simlock in xperia m, this should unlock bootloader too.

Bootloader has nothing to do with simlock so it won't unlock the bootloader

I don't want unlock the bootloader, just the simlock...
Unlocking the SIM will not touch the bootloader

Unlock simlock=unlock bootloader
Mine is SIM unlocked and the bootloader isn't unlocked had this question loads of times in the x10 forum and it doesn't do anything to the bootloader as that's just for custom kernels to be flashed if you unlock it via the guides on here SIM lock has nothing to do with the bootloader as the bootloader only runs the operating system boot it has nothing to do with the SIM lock protection wrote into the firmware that carriers put in as an insurance to them so you have to use their network but it can be removed via an unlock code that you enter with the new SIM installed

Unlocking the sim lock doesn't unlock the bootloader. My XM sim and Bootloader was locked i unlocked the Sim lock but the bootloader is still locked

My eyes!
so... what should I do?
Go to a mobile shop and ask for SIM unlocking or you can search the net for unlocking sites either way you will have to pay for the SIM unlock. And don't worry about the bootloader as it will not unlock that.

You will never be able to unlock the bootloader on that phone, unless your carrier can give you some kind of code to change your unlock status (not sure this is even possible).

I can get the unlock code not a problem to unlock phone to any network. am already waiting for that from o2 so can use on any network but will this work or is it a septate code that is used for bootloader or somthing

The BL is different, if it came from O2 then chances are you cant unlock the BL.
So there is no chance? It worked with xperia arc and omnius. Costs about 15$, that would be ok. But will it work with our z1c in the near future? Or is it just "luck" to find an exploit?

Well nothing is impossible, but it isn't likely as it requires a bootloader exploit. Realistically it isn't going to happen though, unless some smart people devote a lot of time to it. The most likely scenario (using test point to gain more software access) would require hardware tampering.
Hello Mentalghost,
Unfortunately there is no way to unlock the bootloader when the status is "No".
Have a great day, cheers!

MentalGhost, where did you purchase your phone? This phone isn't sold by any carriers in the USA, to the best of my knowledge, so the bootloader shouldn't be locked.

Bought in UK where I am not in USA. Might take back to shop where bought from and see if got any others in lol
Or wait for locked bootloader versions or someone makes modded version with unlocked rom that is been modded like one where you install modded that is unlocked install and then can unlock bootloader did in xperia s I use to have was a modded rom that was originally saying bootloader unlock no and added new Base rom and then said bootloadr unlock yes maybe this will happen on this phone in time or locked bootloader kernels and rom come along

I'd recommend to anyone that is still able to return a Phone to do so because I think you'll find you'll be waiting a long time for a solution.

Plus, there will be no solution. The reason why Xperia Arc S and other 2011 Xperias worked with testpoint method was because of that there was a big security flaw in the security of the testpoints nand access, but those flaws have been fixed in newer Xperias and newer 2011 Xperias also.

+1 It was coming to that realization that I sold my O2 locked Z after 6 months to buy an unbranded Z1 Compact. It worked out cheaper too spending hundreds of pounds up front for my Phone with the added bonus of having access to all of it.
What happens if you still follow the instructions on how to do it? I didn't check if it was allowed and I'm stuck in bootloop and I can't flash via flashtool,

So you want to network unlock your device in the hope it will allow you to unlock the bootloader? I'm not 100% sure if this will work, however some time ago I stumbled onto a post on the Sony forums saying if you did that and then flashed an unbranded ftf on the phone it would change the status, however there was a mixed response on whether it did or not.
