can anyone make an oneclick unlock tool for the mini pro please ?
i wanna flash an new kernel but i think i cant do an unlock by my self...
i wanna use an tool like the old xrecovery & root tool
we need one simple tool that makes the complete process i think..
well, if you don't get it what is posted here I would mean you are not worth of using any rom. I think that tutorial is very nice, simple explained and I think you can't do anything wrong if you follow that instructions CAREFULLY.
May be you did not take notice of that tutorial - feel free to use it
good luck.

well the ulocking process is not more than 2 clicks so...
just concentrate a little on the tutorial...its very easy, u just gotta click a s1tool button (s1tool tutorial is even given in the software interface) and then If the simlock certificate specified is SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE, run msm7227_Setool.cmd while debugging on...its that simple...go through the thread one more time spyderx's tutorial
ive seen the guide to unlock.. but iam afraid to brick my phone permanently
rooting i learned by myself too.. but i think that is to heavy for me...
can i brick my complete device when i make something false ?
my device has no simlock (buyed simlock free phone).. works that ?
i need to unlock on 2.1 stock rom ? or can i do on custom rom too ?
can i reinstall an CWM recovery on unlocked phone ? or there are problems with modules loaded ?
sorry for these much questions.. i only wanna be safe before i unlock it

yah u may brick it...bt i dont think u will brick it if u r cautious
if its factory unlocked phn then running msm7227_Setool.cmd to unlock bootloader wiil be just fine...worked on my gingerdx bt eclair is recommended. theres no issue here with cwm recovery...u may have to delete modules when u flash a kernel...the tutorial answers to all..its not as hard as u r thinking
ok ok so i can recover an custom rom after i unlockend..then delete modules and flash kernel right ?
yah...if u r unlocking from eclair, theres no problem with ur cwm recovery or xrecovery...if u wana load slade's kernel u will need to delete the modules he mentioned...u dont need to delete modules to flash d4's kernel
i think ive unlocked now testing now kernel..
one question.. i have to delete all 2 jbd.ko files or only that module with jbd2.ko name ?

hi all i am getting my mini tonight ..i just destroyed my w8 when i was unlocking BL and i scare it will happen to my mini so ere are my doubts
-what is the worst thing that can happen when you root? will rooting brick you phone?
-what tool is used to root a mini? for my w8 is used flashtool for both rooting and xrecovery ..is it the same for mini?
-what are the best roms for mini? well romming brick your mini?
-what safe tweaks i can do on my mini? i heard of odex and reduce sensitivity but i don't get what they are saying
-whats the worst that can happen if i over/underclock my mini?
-what mods should i use for my mini?
-is it worth romming the mini since ICS is releasing soon
so please answer my questions! a thanks will be given and a sincere one!
HAPPY CNY
oh ya i am not planning to unlock BL for my mini so all in stock please
rooting procedure of mini is very simple since dooomlord made a bat file that automatically roots device. CWM installation is also automatic. bootloader unlock is a mess for me. i tried many times but failed and it did not brick my device. but you dont need to unlock bootloader and install custom rom since ICS is on its way
oh..so this doomlord is like a flashtool is there any links ?
and if i brick my phone do i use pcc to recover?
search dooomlord's easy rooting toolkit on google. you will find it
you can go to wotanserver.com for online free flashing of your phone if you ever bricked it
oh...but pcc is also fine right? and does flashtool supports mini?cause pcc and flashtool is the one i am most familar with
yes. you can find
flashtool in development section of xperia mini.
sweeettt then i can root my phone with ease...oh how do you cwm your mini? i can xrecovery but never cwm ...

dont know. i dont have flashtool experience but extreme tweak installer is very reliable, it just needs 1 click to install CWM
i want to asnwer this but someone already answered it for you.
so what i want to say u have nothing to worried about about unlocking bootloaders and installing cwm recovery and all that stuff. its quite easy for our mini/mini pro if you check carefully on mini/mini pro development section
oh..so u unlock BL for mini is very safe?it bricked my w8 once =( ...i think i will try the xtreme tweak later! oh ans what kernels + rom work the best? there isn't much roms in the mini section compared to the x8 section ...oh ya can extreme tweak unlock BL?

no. it just installs cwm. you need S1 tool to unlock BL or unlock it via se official website.
WHOAA never expected SE would support unlock bootloading!

SE is only company which supports developing. they gave us thier camera library and they also support freexperia. and also unlocks bootloader on thier own website.
recently htc also gave bootloader unlocking after developers forced them because they did not get root in any way when bootloader was locked.
LOL never expected that ..still it looks so complicated on their web..is there a easier way ? i searched for unlock bl guide for mini but all i got was for x10 mini ..oh and is it wise to rom now? since ICS is releasing for mini now
i am running feralab v20 final 2.3.9 on ferakernel with unlocked bootloader.

There's no way to delete recovery for unlocked bootloaders as recoveries on ulbl are directly in the kernel and not on the system or anywhere on phone partition.
I have a doubt... what happen if you relock your bootloader while on an unlocked bootloader rom (like ferabab v20) ? will it still boot up?

is it also possible to disable the phone from entering flashmode on either locked or unlocked bootlaoder?
i dont want ppl to steal my phone and flash over it to use as their own ?
i mean how to disable flash using computer (eg. SEUS, flashtool) not disable recovery?
pls tell me. thx.
Root your sisters phone and unlock the bootloader then flash the kernel,Wifi and all other things required and once you installed the ROM lock the bootloader using flashtool, that would do the trick.. having CWM is a safe option as anything goes wrong its easy to fix using CWM right..
Hi!
I have an Xperia U ICS flashed using flashtool. Unrooted and Locked. I do want to root/unlock, I just had a few questions first.
- Can I root my phone WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader?.. as I heard that unlocking ones bootloader is risky and can damage the phone.
I really have no idea as to how to root a phone as I'm totally new to droid ( 1st android phone ) ! So it would be really helpful if someone at least posted a link(s) for a tutorial. (The right tutorial for a newbie! ) If possible, I want to root my phone WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader.
- What is the difference between Root with Locked bootloader & Root with Unlocked bootloader?
And regarding ROMs, I also heard that custom ROMs are really much better than the stock ones, So If anyone could help me choosing the best ROM for my Xperia U would be helpful too. Also a tutorial link as to how to install a custom ROM. User reviews would be real helpful here, People who have custom Xperia U ROMs, HELP!
Help out guys
P.S I know there are tutorials out there, I just don't know which one to follow.
Just follow the instructions here to root your phone :

Alright, I 'll just wait then.
Bootloader unlocked means u can try different roms now bt u loose ur warranty and u also need to flash a custom kernel for custom rom
Rooting I guess has nothing to do wid bootloader being locked or unlocked

Yes you can root your phone without locking the bootloader, when you unlock the bootloader you void your warranty. A locked bootloader doesnt void your warranty, but doesnt allow you to be able to flash all custom roms, some need an unlocked bootloader to work. Cannot help you with guides because i use the Xperia P, good luck though.

Thanks!:good: Alright, So I've decided, I'll root my phone without unlocking my bootloader, So any help here please?
And are there any ROMs I can apply to a locked bootloader? Help Xperia U users please!
root without unlock bootloader it still save to be use and doesn't void your warranty
you still can try some custom ROM but definitely never to custom kernel

If you follow that thread i think you can be on .62 gb rooted, otherwise search for another
After rooting bootloader is NOT unlocked. Unlocking it allows you to install custom kernels in order to improve performance or get more ROMS like cyanogenmod jelly bean. It's a whole different story unlocking it
A kernel tells the device what to do, basically. ROMs are modified system files by users to mod their device. This is really base explained
Jelly bean is still experimental so all roms will have bugs. You need to unlock your bootloader for it
Well, the best would be back up with cwm but you cant, so if you wanna save all your data, search for some backup app

Firstly you don't need bootloader unlocked for custom roms(just root is needed) but u need it unlocked for installing custom roms.....and please don't ask about best/fast/good Rom since these type of thread are discouraged and u won't get your answer instead a hell lot of people mocking you for this....please be careful next time

You don't need to downgrade to root if you want to unlock the bootloader. Just unlock it and flash a prerooted kernel like rage kernel and you will be rooted and cwm or TWRP recovery are built in
Try some and you will find your personal best rom :good:
I'm new to android,earlier I had Nokia 5233.Everyone's talkin about custom Rom,kernel,flashing Roms, bootloader etc..I want to know that.
But I know that for accessing system files we should have root access,so I managed some how and succeeded in,rooting my phone(Xperia go Stock ICS 4.0.4) installed CWM also.Now I want to know what is bootloader,and how do we unlock it,and is there any threat in doing so?
What about installing Custom Roms? Do they require unlocking bootloader or we can install them without unlocking bootloader.
Pls tell me about this.
Many new android users want to know this.
Replying to this thread will help others too.
Read, read and read. And most of all use search... you will find everything.
May b u should wait till u get official ics..... Unlocking ur bootloader wont let u use pc companion....
