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

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?

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

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.

If your Bootloader can be unlocked - process is same for all Xperia devices.
Go to Sony web or any Doomlord thread and find a link for unlocking bootloader.
Prepare IMEI and proceed to Sony page, you'll receive key in a short period.
But make sure you backup TA partition and you have kernel with recovery to flash...
I mean, if there's no threads, kernels or ROMs - what's the purpose of unlocking it?

I believe it's useful for sake of clarity to concentrate in a single TD the search of the rooting method for the new firmaware JB 4.3 and its detailed explanation.
So far I have seen this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51395773&postcount=38 from gamer649 mentioning the methods NOT working
this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51397314&postcount=48 from rsrishabh suggesting another method (anyone with a follow-up ?)
and finally this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51425160&postcount=99 claiming an easy method; StraightEdgeKid, could you please elaborate your method here ?
Here is mine one i have already rooted 4.3 successfully..

Umm, not really. At this point many many of us are hoping for a root method that doesn't involve screwing around with the bootloader. So your post and question is quite pertinent

I believe the point andyxoxo is making has a lot of sense: haresh311999's methods works only with unlocked bootloaders. People who cannot unlock bootloaders or doesn't want (myself), doesn't have a working rooting tool/method. Let's write in this thread our effort (I changed the title accordingly).
So far among the known methods only what rsrishabh is suggesting has to be tested.

If you flash 4.3 on top of 4.1.2 won't it wipe system including root? Or did I not get it. If you think it will work I can try it later.

As expected it didn't work. It wipes /system and then flashes the one from the .ftf.
Well, I have rooted my phone with flashing 4.1 kernel and then this SuperSU app from here.

I think this method might work.
Bcz if we select not to wipe user data, it will keep the user apps and data, I'm not sure what happens with system apps and SuperSu is system app, yeah?
Possibly it won't.
This is just my guess.
It will keep the SuperSU app but it will not have the "root" power.
It's just a guess, someone must try on locked bootloaders.
it's work?
did u try it?

Ah, Since You have "Allow to unlock bootloader = No", You cannot unlock Your bootloader, and there is no possible way to unlock it. You can always try ROM built for locked bootloaders.

bluetooth problem with AOSP 4.4.4 rom
1st of all i'd like to thank everybody who worked on this project and appreciate their work and
say that it seems the blue tooth does not work well because personally i have problems with my cars
head unit (pioneer deh-8950bt) .
every thing is ok from connecting to syncing contacts but there is no voice on calls just a i can hear
something like hummm and noises.
i didnt have this problem with stock rom.
and i had a hang while was on camera for a long period without taking a photo (just once).i dont use camera usually.
p.s : having less than 10 posts does not show im an idiot !
my phone :
sony xperia acro s
kernel 96
rooted
unlocked bootloader via flash tool
rom : 4.4.4 ASOP
link to thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785450
I can confirm this problem: listening to music via bluetooth works, but not handsfree.
I checked with a Sony MW600, an Arctic P311 and a Belkin Air Cast Auto.
When trying to make a call, only strange hissing sounds can be heard.
But there's another, much bigger problem with this rom:
After a few minutes of heavy usage (e.g. some websites, navigating with GPS) the phone freezes, the screen turns a strange yellow-red color and the phone reboots. It then enters a boot loop. Only after letting it cool for a few minutes will it start up again.
This happens from 0 to 10 times a day.
Apart from this, the rom is great.
Cheers,
Johannes
bluetooth problem
Hi
I love this rom - its so fast, but i have a problem with bluetooth and my jvc car unit. When i try to call by car unit i only hear noise - nothing else. I had this problem on AOSP 4.4.3 and on 4.4.4 also.
Have you any idea what is the problem? Thanks for your reply . Your work is great.
I found a possible reason for the frequent crashes. The CPU was overclocked to 1,8GHz by default. I never changed the clock speed and only found out after installing Setcpu.
At 1,6GHz the crashes have stopped.
Is that behaviour intended or a bug?
Cheers,
Johannes
Please say me how you installed rom,I installed CWM and my phone is rooted but i can t enter in recovery mode on my acro S
