Hey Guys,
short question. I've the phone new and natual I wanted to unlook the bootloader first. But now I'm a little bit worried. Can someone who unlock his bootloader already say me if the fingerprint unlock still works?
At the unlock app the give the warning that the fingerprint unlock after unlock th bootloader will not work anymore.
Some experience please?
Thx

Works fine
Not sure what you saw but unlocking the bootloader doesn't have any effect on regular fingerprint unlock for the phone. It will stop Android Pay from working and might do the same for MI Pay.

That's true but he didn't mention rooting his phone and it might not work the same way with MI PAY.

I think this is an misunderstanding because I just got my mi mix 2 as well and I thought the same, but it actually says that it just won't be as secure with the bootloader unlocked. I just read wrong.

is there ANY way that xperia arc s newer then 12w19 can be sim unlocked??

Atm no, I think.

If you're not locked to any carrier, I don't see any reason why not.
Have you tried the official Sony unlock method? Your other option is via the testpoint method.

My bad, I didn't wrote sim locked..
It's carrier locked, and sim-lock is there for 24 months, the problem is I bought it in another country and in my country that carrier doesn't exist..
So the question is edited, can it be sim-unlocked (bootloader is irrelevant)
Then you'll need to use the Testpoint method. Contact Jinx13 or Alejandrissimo. They should be able to unlock it for you remotely for a small fee. Or use Omnius (again Paid).
And no, there's no free method to unlock your phone. But trust me, it's worth it.
Hope that helped. Cheers!
I already did contact jinx and he told me that if it's 12w14 or newer he can't unlock it :S
I'm not looking for a free method, I'm looking for a working method...
Off topic: Is it worth upgrading to ICS?
Damn, then you may be out of luck. Do ask around though.
And upgrading to ICS. Well, I have upgraded to the Generic Global World 4.0.4 and I must say I like it. My only issue is that my touchscreen isn't AS responsive as it was on GB.
There are others who couldn't/can't stand ICS and reverted back to GB after a few days with ICS. They felt that it lagged too much compared to GB etc etc.
To each his own. But I like ICS; that's just my opinion.
Cheers!
is there ANY other way?
is there anyone that has Emma and a working account and can remove the sim lock?
Also can these pay sites unlock it?
maybe fastgsm
I was looking for the exact same thing and found that fastgsm.com can unlock it with network codes.
It seems that we cannot currently unlock this phone model with our data cable method if the manufacturing date is later than 12W13, please contact [email protected] and ask for a refund. It would be possible to unlock this phone via Network codes, if there are unlock attempts left, for $59.99.

Good day to everyone and sorry to revive this thread, but i didn't want to ask a question that's been asked before so while searching the forums for cellunlocker.net i found this thread.
Is there anybody out there who got their arc S(new security manufacturing date 12w26) unlocked by purchasing the code via IMEI method for 39,99$?
dont paid

There is no known solution for disabled fastboot cases yet (Bootloader unlock allowed: No), as phones manufactured after 12W11 have enchanced type of security, for which there is no exploit yet.

It might remove the SIM-lock (I am not sure, which code you mean right now), but it will not enable fastboot and will not allow bootloader to be unlocked.

Would you at least bother mentioning your methods for this? Considering you haven't been around on this forum for long, I doubt any of your methods actually unlocks the bootloader.

Hi,
Thanks, i see there: http://www.fastgsm.com/en/sonyerics...-unlock-codes/network-unlock/flashing-debrand
Unlock codes. I read a lot, and i figured out that Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No means that fastboot disabled due to simlock..so if there's no simlock on the phone, the no changes to YES, so can unlock simply..If unlock allowed YES, then everyone successfully unlocked the bootloader in this forums. Am i wrong somewhere?

It does remove the SIM-lock, but fastboot is still disabled. Removing the SIM-lock does not activate fastboot nor does it change Bootloader Unlock Allowed to Yes.

Hi everyone, yesterday I bought Arc S and it is sim locked.
My question is: If I root it or even unlock its bootloader put custom rom, kernel, etc., will this become problem for the unlocking the network? I will get my arc s to a service so i don't want to have problems.
P.S. on Service info/configuration it says: BL unlock allowed: No .... So if my network is unlocked will i be able to unlock the BL?

I'm really interested if someone with simlock can get access to the bootloder without paying for unlock service. I look several days in the internet and didn't find a way for that

If your bootloader unlock allowed status is no then you will most likely never be able to unlock that phones bootloader. I think your best bet is to contact O2 and tell them you want a phone on which the bootloader is unlockable, perhaps they can give you a special key to unlock the functionality, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Oh and don't try CM on it, it'll just bootloop and you'll have to use SUS or PC Companion to restore a working OS.
...actually there is one hope, but it requires dismantling the phone. There is a test-point behind the battery which might enable you to put the device into a mode where it'll accept a command allowing bootloader unlock. But again, high risk, not sure if it's actually possible, easier to just sell the phone and buy an unlockable one if you want to run CM. Maybe you could even return the device, how long have you had it?
my z1c just turned up and ive got an bootloader unlock allowed :victory::victory::victory:
I have locked bootloader on EE in UK and have found that many of the tweaks I wanted can be achieved with Xposed modules. Give it a try but backup before you start.
Need a opinion by a dev
Hello there,
I was thinking about a test.
My problem is "Unlock bootloader allowed : no".
What could happen if i restore an other TA partition with "Unlock bootloader allowed : yes". I erase the old by a new one which unlockable. All i need is a TA partition build with a z1c which unlockable and the unlock code.
What do you think ?
Soory for my bad english
If you replace your ta partition it will most likely hardbrick your device.
What is a ta partition, i don't understand.
A bootloader is like a bios on motherboard.
But it is locked by a code.
The bootloader is the same on each z1c no ?

Flashing another phone's TA will hard brick yours, every TA is related to the phone which comes from

You already have an unlocked bootloader.
Network unlock has nothing to do with unlocking the bootloader.
I suggest you stump up and stop being tight. [emoji6]
If I flashed the stock MIUI 10 with miflash and by mistake I chose "clean all and lock", and the bootloader got locked again, should I wait again for the waiting period if I want to unlock it?! Or is the waiting period a one-time thing?
Thanks
once you have the permission from Xiaomi! you can unlock again with same procedure!
You have to wait only once to unlock the bootloader after that you can lock and relock bootloader anytime

Ok.
I actually haven't unlocked the bootloader yet, does the waiting time happen after I press the Unlock button on miui unlock app?
Because I once saw something like "getting the permission for your account" and it showed up for less than a minute and it's gone, but I didn't unlock it back then, so my question is, when exactly does the waiting period happen? Thanks a lot
