Can Anyone Tell Me That What Is A Unlocked Boot Loader ? What Is The Use Of Unlocked Boot Loader ? How To Unlock Boot Loader ?
I AM On Wolf Break v6 Stock And Stock Kennel . I Am On X10i . I Am On Baseband .7X ( Forget Later Check Phone ) Original Android 2.3.3 Baseband .
Is There A Easy Way To Unlock Boot L oader Without Changing Rom And Change Kennel And Baseband .
Unlocking the bootloader simply means giving you the access to modify the phone to the fullest.
For example, with the old bootloader bypass, we can only flash the stock kernel from flashmode, and the custom kernel can only be the one modified from the stock kernel and can only be flashed via recovery mode, which is not the real recovery(xRecovery which we used before).
Having access to the bootloader can give us access to the real recovery mode, which will be useful for us in a specific situation.
You can unlock the bootloader with the files provided by the_laser. For simplified instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087
So if I'm on Wolf's rom = no unlocked bootloader?

Once you've unlocked your bootloader, you can't use the stock kernel anymore.
And no, being on WB's ROM doesn't mean you don't have an unlocked bootloader. It's an entirely different thing, a ROM don't make your bootloader locked or unlocked.
And yes, there is such app but you still need to downgrade to old 2.1 kernel first then click the big button and reflash the stock 2.3 kernel. It was made by Malyeruqrofjskdfsmdf something like that.

Don't think so, X10 has never had battery to last 3 days, and I have unlocked bootloader with same battery life like I always have had.

Lol sorry, your name is just too hard to be spelled.
@OP, if you want to use the stock kernel, then don't waste your time unlocking it.
Once the final cyanogen is out i'd say yes, definitely unlock it. For now, just enjoy WB since it works just fine.

your bootloader is UNLOCKED
it's not rooted, rooting is related to the firmware once you unlock your bootloader you can flash a ROOTED rom, or root your stock rom using methords available. Unlocked bootloader also allowes you to flash a custom Kernal.
(anyone correct me if im wrong)

u r right.. im sorry
il change this to bootloader unlock instead of bootloader rooted...
As discussed in messenger you suceeded in unlocking the bootloader that has been done by many already.
Next step is to read tutorials and ask questions to make sure you understand everything fully.
Many people brick their phone due to not understanding and if in doubt... Ask.
On that note the best GND for that phone is the metal sim housing
Good luck

Yes. I've flashed this ROM, and my bootloader is locked.
You only need a unlocked bootloader if you're planning on flashing a custom kernel, and or any custom ROM. (E.G cm7, etc)
I had never used fastboot, flashtool, etc before, as i've always been a samsung, Odin flash a holic lolz. But I bought my Xperia mini as it's cheapest phone that money can buy that is ics ready ;-)
If you need help flashing, I'm the wrong person to assist, as I'm new to all this, but all I can say is that I followed a guide on the sony talk mobile site, and also here via flashtool thread and site.
Hope that helps.
For me, this ROM is running so smooth, and myself, after flashing, I hooked up the phone to pc companion and clicked the repair my phone option in the software update tab, to download the original files from sony servers, to make my rom 1 hundred percent legit and trouble free.
Only issue that bugs me, is that pinch ln zoom in the stock Browser is poor. The text isn't crystal clear straight away like how it is in gingerbread, but it's only blurry for a fraction of a second.
I've not adjusted anything yet to try and remedy it though ;-)
I wanna keep it as stock, and non rooted too, as I'm happy with it like so
I'll only unlock bootloader and flash cm9 once it's fully stable and no issues. Till then, stock is king in my opinion LOL.

Hello
When using this ROM the games controls doesn't work
i tried to use Angry Bird and BackStap
and i can't use any thing on screen or use any control
Same thing happens to me,I tried one game,and I can't press ok,or some other things.
What could be the problem?

I don't have this problem, and I've been playing angry birds, angry birds space a lot *confused*
Here's what I did :
Flashed ftf file, rebooted, reset back to factory settings, (data wiped), and once phone rebooted, I hooked up the phone to Sony pc companion, then clicked on update part. Once it said my phone was upto date, I clicked the repair phone option, that essentially triggers the original firmware to be downloaded from Sony servers.
This option data wipes during the Flash / repair option.
Once rebooted, I reinstalled my apps and games, then everything was okay.
I've noticed a few on Sony mobile forum site have this issue, along with camera quirks, and Sony themselves recommend the repair phone option in pcc.
A lot are reluctant to do it, as obviously you've a phone then with your apps missing, having to reinstall your apps and games from scratch, but it's worth it, as it does fix 99% of problems.
And isn't it any wonder I don't have the game problem, camera issues etc?
Pcc and the "repair phone" option is your friend; so give it a try ;-)

HEY GUYS! this thread is dedicated to the xperia u and xperia sola pink spot on camera issue.
this was originaly spotted on the xperia u, but seeing that the xperia sola would probably have the same camera lens and module, i thought that it would probably pop up on the sola too and hence have included it in this thread.
so lets get to the issue.
main issue- PINK/PURPLE spot seen on center of the screen when taking pics.
basicaly even on the camera preview, and on the taken picture, on the video preview and while taking video, there is a pink-ish or purple-ish spot at the center of the image. this spot some times is even yellow, and somtime, with low light, disappears..... here are some pics taken with it-

}
as u can see, when they are zoomed in the spots seem blue-ish...they appear purple on the phone. sometimes the spot is yellow. keep in mind that this problem developed 3 weeks after i bought the phone....it was clicking fine 3 days back....then suddenly i got this problem.... i have also heard of others getting this problem with the same phone. and since its 7 days since i bought the phone, they wont replace it....only fix it..it will be done under warrenty though
so pls...post here, with screenshots/pics if u can, if u have this problem. also mention details.. eg- when u got the phone, if it was there when u bought it, how i fixed it, what sony did to fix it....... i called sony, and they said i should take it to sony service center...and that others are also having this problem....so any other ideas?? also, i am planning to relock my bootloader before taking it for servicing.... so pls any help would be appreciated!
Definitely a hardware issue IMO. And this is the first time I have seen this kind of an issue .
Get it fixed ASAP
Hope Sony don't take too long.

i think that flashing official update will overwrite custom kernel too, btw yes the spot is gone updating to 6.0.B.3.162 using update service (i relocked bootloader)
i also RE Unlocked and RE flashed custom rom but at that point the spot appeared again, so is a problem of the build *.564
now i have stock firmware because i have locked again bootloader and reupdated to stock 6.0.B.3.162 waiting a rom based on it
(spot is gone again after official update)

so that means that prblm will always pop up if we flash a custom kernel/rom?
which in turn means that u cannot root phone without having spot in camera!!

Oh That's sad but what i think is that if there is no such physical damage on the screen or the touch panel with cracks or any other damages then you'll break your warranty if there is no such physical damages then i'm pretty much sure that you can report to Sony if they dont get it done... (NO OFFENSE...) This can br done if you are in your warranty period.. :angel::angel: :good:
All the Best... let us know if its a temporary problem or else you have bricked your touch!

Well, furthermore I had bought it on March-2012, so I think that th 1-year warranty is finished. I don't want to buy other cellphone But the touch has just stopped working yesterday right before flashing th TouchWiz (ICS) over the 0.58 (GB).
I have reinstalled PC Companion, but it keeps on the same. The older version of SEUS (with repair button) doesnt seems to work on Win8! There´s anything else you know I could do?

did you flash a ICS kernel first?? Well if you are on a LOCKED BOOTLOADER can't help but i'm so sure that you can you can relock your bootloader even if you Unlocked your bootloader.....(I relock my bootloader very frequently to test my ROM builds )so try unlocking bootloader and flash the stock .587 ICS and then flash that ROM and you shoudl be getting your touch back :fingers-crossed:

My cellphone is impossible to Unlock Bootload. About the ROM, here is what I done
1. It was on the Official 4.0.2.A.0.58 firmware, which is GingerBread based
2. I rooted, installed CWM but still on 0.58
3. I downloaded the TouchWiz ROM form here, that is made to Both BL and Ice Cream Sandwich base
4. It bricked, my guess is that the Kernel from SE Firmware 4.0.2.A.0.58 is not compatible with ICS, so I should have updated to 4.1.B.0.587 that should update its Kernel to support ICS. Here it still entering on CWM but the touch buttons refused to work on it.
5. So, I unbricked the cellphone with the Xperia Unbrick Guide, and installed the 0.58 again, what made it boot, but still no touch.
Since that I flashed and reflashed ROMs thru FlashTool, including the ST17i and ST18 that were recommended in other topics, but still no touch. I really don't know what else to do, since i can neither activate USB Debugging nor acess CWM that was lost on this mess.

Hi Guys!
Got myself an Xperia XA Ultra F3215 Variant (1st Sony Android Device for me) yesterday. I like the screen and performance - even if its just a mid-ranger and I'm also coming from the Note 4, though I've yet to really test the battery out.
I tried searching not only the XDA but also through Google, but I have yet to find a thread about the F3215.
I have read the differences for some variants would be Dual SIM vs Single SIM, but aside from those, I don't really know much about the variants.
I also checked the USSC Code if the device can be rooted, but it doesn't appear to be so.
So for those devices which aren't Rootable, would there be instances wherein Root can still be achieved even if it's just Temp Root? Has it ever happened to other Sony devices? This is my first Sony android phone, so I don't have experience in Root and Modding aspect of this Manufacturer.
I'd love to have Root, mainly for: debloating, Greenify, Xposed, and Viper4Android.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

Hi, it's a full root and it's not hard if you are not a "One clic solution" user. The process is almost the same on nexus or pixel: unlock bootloader -> flash boot/recovery -> flash SuperSu. Download the rootpack for single sim on the Ultra forum and follow carefully the guide on XA forum.A big warning if you use flashtool to update, it can brick your device, on locked bootloader too!

Thanks for your reply.
Just to make it clear: mine, in the Service Info says Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No
Can that still be rooted with rootpack?

No, you can't root if you can't unlock the bootloader.

That's what I thought..
Anyways, would there be a chance that the Sony bootloader can be unlocked, based on previous devices?

Nope if it says bootloader unlock allowed NO there's nothing you can do to change it to a YES unfortunately it's your network that's locked it down not Sony..

Hello, I've got the same device variant and situation. Did you find any workaround yet?

Nope, unfortunately not yet..the best Mod I've had so far was to enable external SDCard to internal via ADB..

Not yet..though I'd really want this Bootloader unlocked..
What's your LCD Density? Care to share a screenshot, if you don't mind?

LCD density is 340 or 320i think. I was using nova launcher though.
320Dpi looks good, large enough to read stuff on and has additional space, too! Maybe I'll try 320dpi, since mine is still ln default so texts are big! Haha
