No, it won't brick the device as long as You follow the correct procedure.
Thanks, I will try it as soon as possible
Xperia S and Xperia SL are the same except for their CPU frequencies being clocked at a different speed.
You can use all the methods/mods/roms/kernels of S for SL and vice versa
Thanks guys for the help. I've successfully unlocked the bootloader.

Xperia Arc S
Hello everybody, im new here so if im doing something wrong lemme know.
Im looking to unlock the bootloader of my sony ericsson, but instead of Xperia Arc mine is Xperia Arc S. I don't know if there is any difference since the phones are very similiar.
I didn't found any topic about my problem, so if you consider this as different stuff, i can make a new topic.
Thanks in advance!
Method for Arc works on Arc S, too.
So send them a pm if you don't want to use Sony Ericsson's method.

Will unlocking my bootloader erase my data?
Hello,
I own a Xperia Arc, LT15i.
Running on 2.3.4 (4.0.A.0.42),ROOTED.
I wanna unlock my bootloader to install a custom ROM.
Will this erase my data?
If so, What all data?
Having a nandroid backup will restore my data?
Thank you
If unlock bootloader, arc will wipe,erase app and all data. You can make nandroid after unlock bootloader by flash cwm recovery image

If your Xperia S is in a purchased state (ie, not modified at all and running stock firmware) I guess its bootloader will be locked. Anyways as Xperia S has got a dedicated forum section, head over there to learn about it more.
I have an Xperia Arc SO-01c. I want to change the firmware to the global LT15i. Is this going to work out?

you can't know without trying it, try if you fail flash your old firmware again. yet it might be useful if you back it up.

Hi, I m from Brazil
I just bought a Xperia ZQ and it s my first Sony. Can you help me with some questions?
I ve already know that I can change my carrier version by another registered one downloaded right here in xda website without root or unlock the bootloader, right?
As I m not a developer, why would I need to root and unlock the bootloader?
Where, if It is possible, can I find different skins and themes for it?
How can I know about new upates? For example, new releases of firmware or android versions?
Thank you

Its called Xperia ZL so just search it on the search for device bar. You dont have to be a developer to unlock as unlocking can give you cool roms that can be very much customized.

You get updates thru SONY and you will get a notification when you can get a update.
To see if you can unlock your bootloader go to
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions as it will tell you the directions then once you have unlocked, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2095 and find some roms. ( its a little dangerous if you dont know what your doing ) and UNLOCKING will void the warranty

If you have already unlocked your bootloader, without backing up your Drm Keys, then you wont get the bravia engine back.

I havent unlocked my bootloader yet. I just rooted (the bootloader changed unlockable yes to no), installed cwm and made a backup using cwm, saved in internal storage. Is that enough? Is this backup saved the drm keys?
Thank you

Use the tutorial I have linked above, with that method you will get your phone back to factory-state when you want to.

I have a unrelated question, because I'm planning to buy this phone here in Brazil. Battery is something you can rely on with 3G on?

The phone is fantastic, but the battery is below average even with 3g, altough the relates i hear about SIV are even worse. Since HTC don't sell officialy in Brazil anymore, i don't trust in LG and Motorola don't have a rival for these phones i think ZQ is the best choise.
I'm a heavy user, so i charge it twice a day,but with moderate use + stamina mode i think you can get a day of battery.
