Thanks a lot for the tutorial, I have been looking a long time for it.
I have a question: Is "E10i CUSTOMIZED_UK 1237-0392 10A136" a firmware from UK and Customized by the operator? I mean, I want a firmware original from Sony Ericsson debranded device. You could get more firmwares?
I also live in Spain so I don't know if that firmware turn my phone into english language.
Please answer!
Thanks again
It's Generic UK and should contain Spanish .
And how could I revert to my original firmware?
Keep a backup of the files you overwrite.
You disallow the uploading of files you pulled from a SE server or phone?
Unlike HTC you have no power to stop anyone. I'm sure the xda admins won't look kindly upon such comments by its own posters.
actually delete cba.

Let me explain myself. The files are from extranet servers, correct but the files were repacked to be used by users. I let people debrand for free on multiple ocassions, and all I want is for users to respect the rules listed in my threads. If the download link doesn't work for somebody then I will try to mirror is myself in 48hrs. I also like to keep download statistics for myself which then can be used to look for popularity in files. If you have further questions in regards to this thread then please contact me through PM as the posts here are going offtopic.

Erm, isn't this tutorial exactly the same as that for the Xperia X10 apart from the X10 mini files? Not sure why you are somehow trying to claim a 'right' to it. This is the Internet after all.
Also, if I remember correctly, the instructions to debrand the Xperia X10 were first posted up by C987. You've got some nerve claiming that you somehow own this information.
Probably he want the "rights" to earn money by donations via PayPal, but that doesn't worry me...
Anyway, thanks Lollylost100 for the tutorial. It really works!
PD: If you give me permission, I could post this tutorial into Spanish forums (Always recognizing the work of the creator).
Thanks again

First debranded X10 by SEUS was done by me (private). I didn't release the method until another person manages to do it in public. When Andy managed it, I released my tutorial.
Again, anything you want to discuss with me then write a PM and you will sure get a reply back.
I'm well aware of your claims of doing it privately, but why not just release it then? Also, my original post was to point out that you are not giving out proprietary information so you shouldn't stick caveats like that in your tutorial.
This method to debrand Sony Ericsson products has remained essentially the same for years, it's not as if these are new instructions. By all means restrict the use of the files that you have uploaded (after all nobody else has access to these), but don't claim any copyright on the method.

yea but apparently its his method and he owns it... its a nice tutorial and glad you posted it to help x10 mini users but going so overboard on the 'this is mine' 'no one else even copy and paste it' stuff is just ridiculous considering its been around for years

Did you consider, instead of making a lot of fuss about it, to just say "thanks" or say nothing at all?
Lollylost: thanks for the tut. I don't give a crap whether you made it, own it or have any rights on it but I read it here first, so I thank you.

No you don't, when you sign up you sign an agreement saying that they can in fact use your data as they wish.
lollylost100 thanks a lot for the tutorial! I'm a spanish user and there isn't many info in my language.

Yes I know, but then I have 2 choices.
1. Don't use Facebook
2. Use it but don't complain when they use my data.
Posting something in the internet and say "I disallow you to....." is odd.
Nevertheless thank you for the tutorial!

And i wonder does anyone know how to do it or atleast a web site where i can see it?
And if someone has a site with apps and games for it please post it!

That shouldn't be possible, it's not the same hardware.

As the title say's I'm creating this thread for all us carrier locked Xperia S owners to subscribe too. this way we can subscribe to this thread and keep it updated on the latest news of root or unlocking the boot-loader.
YOU CAN'T ROOT LOCKED BOOTLOADERS
I will post new info when I hear something new. Feel free to add news as well. Lets just keep the comments about the topic. No need to fill it with junk that doesn't belong here.
Maybe true maybe not. Silly tech support, they don't have clue. Should have known better.
I talked with sony today and they assured me my rogers branded phone will be getting ICS and the updates will be around may 18th. I kept telling them if my phone is branded to rogers it can't happen as rogers needs time to add their apps and stuff. again sony said they are doing it different with the xperia s and all phones will be getting ics at the same time. may 18th.
so i don't believe them but maybe if more people call we can get a better idea when it's coming.
If you call and hear something different please share in the thread.
Now can someone stick this please? And maybe write YOU CAN'T ROOT LOCKED BOOTLOADERS in big red letters in the OP.

Don't you think that will change in the future?
That's what the thread is for, news about unlocking un-unlockable bootloaders or rooting without it.
I needed this thread XD Thank you mate, Im subscribed now to know inmediatly when I will be able to root my phone!
however it is a bit annoying If this thread is filled with useless posts, just as my one at this moment. there isnt any way to subscribe only to editions in the first message?
I just thought I would shed a little ray of hope here
Apparently there is a way to root with locked bootloaders for official ICS on the Arc S, Ray and Neo V
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1600728
So maybe when we get ICS we can root without unlocking the bootloader
Yeah, the problem is when we will get ICS....we want root now! xD
Got phone from Orange, locked to Orange. Locked bootloader.
Asked for unlock key, threatened to leave.
Received unlock key. Phone unlocked. Surprise - Bootloader unlockable after restart *yipee*
Left Orange for good.
Ok I just had a thought and would like your feedback.
I have my xperia sim unlocked.
what im thinking is putting in my none rogers sim,(my other sim is smart, go Philippines).
then updating my phone with sony software and when it say's i have the latest and ask if i want to repair it. select yes and maybe it will the n download another version of the software because it knows the phone is sim unlocked.
what yeah think? would that be even possible to have the software change the ability to have the phone say yes to unlock boot loader.
Not a chance!!!
The bootloader is as it says
"a bootloader"
That means it is a seperate part of the operating system.
When you update/repair your normal running rom/operating system that is the ONLY part that gets updated/repaired.
Your bootloader is never touched

I managed to purposely get into qhsusb_dload, any way dump the contents of whatever I can?
Device manager now displays it as SEMC Flash Device.

Cool, what does it mean for us looked down users?
Replied from my little computer, Xperia S.
Not much, since I have no idea what to do with it... it's basically that I found the "test point" pin, and that it still behaves in the same way as it does the the 2011 locked Sony phones.
However, that's the simple part, now we need to wait for the unlock tokens to become available or however the old way worked on the old phones.
UPD: no, it looks like the permissions are correct on stock rom, so it won't work.

There's the new exploit thing for the HTC One X, it might work on the XPS too, at least I couldn't find the reason it wouldn't. However my device is unlocked so I can't test it without relocking. It should be safe though. Anyone who wants to test is welcome to #xperia_s_root_test @ irc.esper.net

So I ran into this site while looking for AoSP roms. Can someone confirm if this is legit? I'm pretty sure there is no official release from Sony yet.

It's a big scam, for clue if you follow the download link it ask for completing an offer. You can do it but finally you will have nothing, just malwares and viruses on your computer
This kind of scam is very popular on the web.

Thought so. Thanks for confirming.
If you look at the comments on the bottom of that page you may notice something strange. Pay attention to all of the profile pictures of those people lol most of them are professional portraits in business attire. Not really the target audience of people who root and modify their phones.

I currently own the US model of this device. I've done some digging in the forums but I never really come up with very much. If anyone could help I'd be willing to try just about anything to get this phone rooted as long as there's a recovery option. I've read in other threads that the European model can be rooted but the US version has no such luck. If anyone has anymore information please post a reply I would love to get a discussion started. Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, yes your appear to be right. I haven't been able to find anything on this device as far as the U.S. version goes anyway. Apparently, the European version has already been rooted with Magisk and an unlocked bootloader. Although no one has said much of anything about this one. I hope there some development soon!!
A shame these dont yet have bootloader unlock etc.. Its a great phone with Awesome specs on it.
I picked up a Like NEw one for 200.00 (u.s. sprint) version. I use it on t-mobile.

Well it has according to the LG website. Didn't try it out yet.
https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0703
• LG V50S: LMG850EMW/LMG850EMWX for the European market
This is the LG G8X (check your device info).
We'll probably have to wait for Firehose to be released for LG Snapdragon 855 to have any hopes for unlocking on Non EU variants
No bootloader unlock available? Was checking developer settings and was able to turn on OEM unlock. Would really like to see some AOSP ROMs available for this phone.
I am very glad to be getting replies here. However, US models are still unrootable as far as I can tell its not listed for the US region but is listed for EU. So far no new updates. Please keep the conversation alive though!! Need a developer to start cracking down on this device please!
If anyone knows any developer's willing to work on this device I will quite literally give them payment to develop a working root method for this device. No joke. I'm not very sure how much power developers have over this device. But I would really love to find out.

How would I go about doing this? Not all that familiar with Xda honestly. I rooted my old phone thanks to this site but I wouldn't know how to contact any developers on this subject.
A shame that this high end phone does not yet have root/rom. (in u.s.) You can pick these up fairly inexpensively (on ebay..as I did)
Hope LG is able to get bootloader unlocked one day or I may have to go back to Xiaomi / Oneplus
I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Well considering this same device is rooted it would likely mean that eventually we will have something. It might take awhile however. The EU version is definitely rooted and even compatible with Magisk having an unlocked bootloader is fantastic. Especially in this time. However since our country is a bit more controlling when it comes to phone data we may not see one until this device is obsolete. Meaning that LG will have made their money on it and therefore feel safe releasing a bootloader unlock officially..
