I know Sony Ericsson has locked their bootloader and that it's a major pain in the rear to crack, but how far have we come with cracking it?
Nowhere by the looks of things...
I think there is somebody doing it but I cant read russian.
Sorry didnt save the link
I saw that the (im)famous Geohot has set his sights on cracking the Xperia Play bootloader. Pretty sure that will spill over into our world.
He is practicing with an x10 he bought
Sorry being a noob, what is a bootloader and what does it do if its cracked?

Bootloader cracked means ability to upload custom kernels to our phones and so not being forced to sony stock one in other words more freedom and simplicity to create custom roms ..
t9ed from my stupid 2.1 X10i
Ah I see now. Thanks for the quick reply

Where u guys getting this from : devs are working on bootloader? Who is this dev?
Have a look at the tread about it. It's stickied. Custom Rom development: Devs only. There are many collaborating on the bootloader. But for gods sake don't post anything there as its for Devs, not for silly questions.

Absolutely love this reply. Please "READ THE FORUMS BEFORE POSTING". It really does increase your IQ.
hey everyone,
I want to feel the honeycomb in x10 because I could not buy a tablet
anyone have a honeycomb ROM for x10??
Lol...
aZuZu made an alpha honeycomb ROM but he removed the links as he says its on hold. I wasn't sure if it was usable, but you can try MIUI with honeycomb theme made by shiwantha, or have a look inside the themes and apps section.
Good luck and wrong section
Next time post questions in Q&A

aZuZu's hc port is for 2.1, since the libs are 2.1.
That was HoneyComb 3.0. When aZuZu's x10 returns from the service shop, the first tester will test it, and then if all possible bugs are eliminated, then it will be released to the public.
FOR YOUR INFO:
- No camera yet, [WIP]
- Android Version 3.2
oh ****, I just realised, that this is in the development section. Damn, I shouldn't have answered, since well, you dont ask in the dev section. Next time, Q&A.
Ok so last answer on this topic aZuZu said he will be selling his x10 and buying new x10 or repair it himself...

That's wrong. He got his x10 fixed, but hes not wworking on HC port. He wants to port .32 kernel to x10 mini first.

To try fix it by my-self? No thanks! I did finish school for electronics. But why risk?
And yes i'm porting 2.6.32 to x10 mini.

I mean last time i had warranty issues, it took mokia 45min to check for any damage, and then they even gave me a new phone,w hen they could have replaced it, and they ENCOURAGED users to update... sad life.

Yes its possible, but aZuZu's job is a security guard, not a rom developer. So he will release it whenever he is happy.

Hi!
I've already search in other phone but i don't found any clear answer, but i'm sorry if the question is already posted in this forum !
If it say "unlock bootloader allowed : no" in service info, with the xperia s phone , is there any solution to "unblock" the bootloader for future unlock?
Thanks
I wanna know the answer too, i know i cant, but i dont know if there is a paid mathod.
Sent from my SK17a using xda premium
I'd also love to know this too, what are the tech reasons why we can't? X10 got unlocked even with SE not allowing it...
Up
Please if some is more experiment than us please help us for a simply answers
I think we have to wait for any brilliant mind to come out with an exploit...I don't think we will see any solution at least until ICS is out in the end of June...
Anyway...I really would like to be wrong so if someone knows how pliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis tell us!

I found something interesting on htcmania (unfortunately Spanish) but I'm not able to post outside links. There is Tutorial how to resolve our problem. Maybe I could send this link to someone as private message and this person share this link for everyone?

That method requires sending the phone to SONY for bootloader unlocking for any country or carrier, the only requirement is to haVe the phone Simunlocked. But it works.

I am in the same boat. There is a Sony s1 signature server which you can use remotely using ezSemc. You need to buy credits from a company (www.microunlocker.com is one). You need to ask for a full CSCA certificate unlock. Trouble is, server is offline at the mo, no one knows when it's back on.
If you search s1 signature server status using Google you'll find more info about when the server may be back online.
Just a waiting game at the mo.
Cheers,
Lunar.

Hi,
I'm selling an almost new Sony Ericcson Xperia Mini Pro (sk17i). I bought it in September and am now changing phones. I bought the phone for 150 Euro, but gonna sell it for 100 Euro. The bootloader is unlocked and the phone is running RealICS6. I can flash any rom beforehand if you wish. The phone itself is in good condition (As it should be after two months of use). If you're in Germany there will still be warranty on it - bought it at Media Markt.
Hope I'll find somebody,

Did not meant to disturb the forum. i just thought, that since the bootloader is unlocked, xda might be the place to sell. People here will understand what it means.

Ya for that you need to post it in the xda marketplace and not in a device specific forum. Read the forum rules please.

I would have but the thing is uploading is really a pain in the ass.
Second thing there will always be noobs complaining or asking silly questions and I got a really bad temper.
Most of all I haven't developed a ROM so I just don't feel like it.
Sent from my MT11i using xda app-developers app
Point taken and agreed!
However you could always make a mod containing what all tweaks or scripts you added and upload it ! ! !
Considering Rom would be too big and it wouldn't give you a pain in your ass for updating and stuffs!
Just my 2 cents!
