Hii, I just buy a XZ5P (E6833 Dual), and I would know if there is any way to save the Trim Area before unlocking BL ?
Cause you know Backup TA needs root permission, but to get root permission I need to unlock the bootloader.. :/
Is it possible to save that partition from Flashtool or something else ?
Thanks in advance

Root with LB, which is the only way to backup, still doesn't exist. You can't back it up.
Please search around on Google before asking these questions. Similar ones have been answered before and nothing have changed.

How do I check if my xperia arc's bootlader if its locked or unlocked? Do i need to run fastboot using pc or I can just check the phone's info and I will know if its already unlocked. Thanks
As far as I know, all new arc comes with locked bootloader. You have to go to their site to follow procedure unlocking it and you need to give your imei number.

IF U HAVE NOT UNLOCKED THE BOOTLOADER BY YOURSELF,THEN IT IS LOCKED
SE does not supply phone with unlocked bootloaders,,,,,u have to unlock them by yourself
EDIT:- YO,YO I AM A SENIOR MEMBER NOW.........YOYOYOYOYO......JUST KIDDING.
When I bought it they flashed it for me with lt15i firmware already and also sim unlocked it. I am assuming that they did unlock bootloader too I am not sure though so I wanna check it I still need to bootloader unlock it.
Thanks

flashing se firmware and sim unlocking do not require boot loader unlocking

unlocked bootloader cant use trackid as it erases the DRM in the phone..

Why not? Just curiousity.
Why do u want to unlock?
To be able to install third party or maybe flash with custom rom in the future.
only unlock when custom roms is released...there is no advantage in unlocking in advance...........

Cool Thanks I will not do it then it just took 2.3.3 update yesterday and everything working fine. Couple more thing, do I need to format card and how do you do it using menu? What is APK and what does it do after installing it to SD card?
Thanks for your help very much appreciated.
it depends upon you,if u want to format u can format,otherwise there is no specific need to format
i am not having a arc,so i dont know how to format it using menu,but i guess format option must be present somewhere in file manager or settings........
APK is the file extension of android software's......
installing it to sd card will save your phone memory space and reduces phone laggs or slow down...........

Hey guys I love my xperia but... The stock rom suckssssss. And cause my bl is locked most of the custom roms won't work on my phone...
I oppened this topic to know if someone knew what exactly is the bootoader unlocking I mean how it works (do bootloader unlocker delete and rewrite the bootloader or juste change a setting in it? Can it ne done with the developplment tool? Etc...)
Plz do not explain me that bootloader unlocking is the process that I need to install custom roms etc... I know what it is but I want to understand HOW it works.
Sry for my bad english if you can't understand something just ask me

to simpifly, you can think that the bootloader is like a safety-system. The sony makes it to accept their rom only and block others, like a kind of filter. When you unlock it, the bootloader will accept all roms, no limits.
Yup I know that but what makes this programm so difficult to rewrite? I know that its the programm that run before the os but why nobody founds a hack to unlock it without paying? Is it too hard or sony forbid free unlocking?
And again my question how does bootloader works? If someone know the code could it copy it?

It is for free. Sony created a website purposing for unlocking bootloader for those who want to unlock.
Its easy to unlock bootloader nowadays. When im was using my xperia x8, it took 8 freakin months to bypass the bootloader...

Oh boy, you missed a lot here. Take a look at guides in the general threads.
Its free to unlock bootloader
The imei way unlock (DRM data loss)
Testpoint unlock (no loss, fully safe), easier to relock and nobody can know if it was unlocked or not

But... My phone is branded... (bootloader unlock allowed : no) and my question is not WHAT is bootloader but HOW does this **** works (code etc..) but anyway thanks for trying

Hi...I have experia m dual Android 4.3 c2004 with 15.5.A.1.5
I have already rooted with towelroot successfully.
But I am not able to use link2sd or foldermount etc.
So I want to unlock bootloader now...
So please give me link for a best step by step tutorial to backup Ta and unlock bootloader...for my above firmware...
pls help me...thanks.
Before you start you will need to check if your bootloader is unlockable. To do this, open your phonepad/dialer and type *#*#7378423#*#*. Tap service info and then configuration. Look to rooting status, there you will find a string of text what reads "Bootloader unlock allowed:" if it says yes then you can unlock your bootloader (and I will help you to unlock it as much as I can), however if it says no there is no way to unlock it.

like i said this is for the tmobile h811.. but its similar to this guide never done this guide so follow their steps..... good luck

i know i did mine too.. i was afraid too.. but there was an eaiser way for my h811.. its the same but it only talks about that phone... but it should be similar..
Theres no one click methods unless bootloaders unlocked which dont look like is ever gonna happen. As long as you follow the steps ure pretty safe.
NOTE THIS IS GOR TMOBILE ONLY H811
just read and since its shorter maybe you can get an idea on what to do with the other method .. this guy says to read the low effort as its the same....
