Im using xperia mini pro,if i want to use cwm do i must unlock my boot loader first?
Can i use cwm if i just root my phone? I've use search button but no luck
Xcuse my bad english
Regards
Root just gives you higher privileges in "running" state. To install CWM you need write access to boot partition, which comes only with unlocked bootloader.
So you'd need to unlock your bootloader to install CWM. Fortunatley, there is Official way of unlocking it and now its even possible to Relock it later. Check this forum for guides.

Don't say that because it is not a true. I just using CWM recovery ported by nobodyAtall without unlocking bootloader. Someone wrote this bullshits somewhere and anyone saying this garbages.
Black_jackss, wait till begining of next week. NobodyAtall will release it in our subforum
I am happy rooted user of XMP with fully working CWM recovery without unlocked bootloader

I extract files to specific directories in /system, and set correct permissions. After reboot i press volume down button to enter CWM.
I dont have rights to share it myself, nobodyAtall will do it in coming days. Be patient and wait.
But any version for WT19i ? or all of phone 2011 ?

it happened to you , so what did you do to get your operator back?
if i may , could you please give me links to refer to? or links to download certain things i need?
manually put in your apn settings. that might help. or you can try relocking your bootloader. or just check if your phone is eligible to have its bootloader unlocked and retry unlocking it
edit* i dont remeber exactly what i did. i just restarted the whole process and successfuly unlocked the bootloader which some how brought back signal. is your phone carrier unlocked??
how do i manually put in my apn settings? how to relock my bootloader as well? i'm sorry for asking so much but i really don't know what im doing
how do i check if my phone carrier is unlocked or not?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259617&highlight=relock+bootloader
and to put in your apn settings you need to find that somewhere on the internet. that link is to relock your bootloader. im not sure if putting in your apn settings will work because you might have lost radio capabilities.

ok good you are eligible before you started trying to unlock the bootloader, did you downgrade your kernel with the flashtool?? and are you on 2.1 or 2.3?? and i belive that lower case r means your bootloader is unlocked. so flash doomlords kernel for unlocked bootloaders using the flashtool. if done properly you should not see the white sony ericcson letters

I have installed CWM recovery on my locked bootloader, after unlocking I installed SE Tweak ROM, but my phone didn't boot up, and it showed Sony Ericson Logo for minutes. Then I recovered my phone to stock rom using SEUS.
I want to know how I can be sure that my bootloader is unlocked?
If my bootloader is unlocked why didn't SE tweak work?
U can check in service menu.. Service menu>service info>configuration> boatloader status
Flashing a custom Rom usually takes time to boot.. I had similar experience

It seems that you didn't do some steps correctly.
You need to find exactly where your TP is.
Exactly the same result with a Movistar Spain Neo V. Stuck on SE screen after flash, and cannot access to the fastboot mode by presing menu key.

Hi There,
Im new to this and i didn't want to open a new thread unnecessarily so i'll post my question here because its similiar.
I have a Xperia Neo i think its branded to TMN, and i wanted to Unlock the bootloader, i did the *#*#7378423#*#* --> Server Info --> Configuration and i didn't had the frase Rooting Status. I Searched the threads trying to figure how could i Unlock it, didn´t find away... I'm a bit stuborn and tried the Testpoint test, and i don't know if it worked here is what i got:

If it worked i can't fastboot... If it didn't then i dont know what to do, is it possible for a branded phone, that doesnt say nothing about Rooting status, to get Unlocked?
Tks in advance!
For me,i unlocked my bootloader at 1st attempt at http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ because i think its the easy one...
I think entering fastboot mode and try
Code:
fastboot boot recoveryNeo.img
will be a good idea.
If it isn't bootloader unlocked it won't let you boot.
Otherwise it is unlocked.

Unfortunate this doesn't work for me because theres a phrase that's states
In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

My bad for asking questions, now I see yout post#9 above, strange didn't notice it earlier.
Anw,
1) you have old fw version, thats why you don't see that line. update your fw with flashtool to .42 or .62.
2) you have sim-locked phone, thats why your fastboot is locked. you need to pay to sim-unlock your phone and by that you will enable your fastboot. find user with nick jinx13 or anyone else with setool, or use some of online services, but my advise is to use setool.

Ok so i did something really stupid and i thought since i didn't think i used testpoint correctly i used OTA to upgrade my phone well it got bricked.... after freakin searching for over 4 hours found the solution and got my phone updated to .62 and running. I can finnaly see the phrase Rooting status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No
So that is done tomorrow gona track down jinx13 or someone that has setool to unlock my SIM card.
Tks again and ill keep u posted
Hello, I have unlocked the bootloader with the paid version (setool) and after that I remove the chinese firmware and put a generic one (ST15i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1251-0020).ftf) but the problem is that TrackID, neither the "like" button of the player work. It is suppoused that my DRM are still there right? Is there any way of checking this?
Have I installed an official release?
Thank you
Ok, I've found that if the bootloader is unlocked, track ID won't work, it doesn't matter if you still have the DRM keys or not. So... I need to relock my bootloader, but when using s1tool "Identify" botton it says:

What does it means "SIMLOCK STATE: "TAMPERED""??
And my doubt is... I have unlock it using the paid way, if I relock my bootloader, I still will be able to unlock it anytime I want right?
hello guys
here is my issue....
I wanted to install gb or ics or jb on my x10mini (e10i)
my baseband is : M76XX-TSNCjoLYM-53404015
firmware : 2.1-update1
android v : 2.1.1.A.0.6.
i successfully rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader using flashtools 0.9.8.0.
but my problem is when ever i try to flash custom kernel i get this error
Code:
ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="MEMORY_CLASS";ERR_STATIC="HASH_VER";ERR_DYNAMIC="Failed to init erase";
i tried all custom kernel including nAa-13, nAa-14, nAa-ics,nAa-jb. everything fails and i get my phone semi bricked with phone reboots and all i get is white screen and LED glows White.
then i use SEUS to flash back to stock rom. i did this for almost 20times so far everytime it fails....
any help?

ofcourse flashmode mate
unlock bootloader
I didn't know you can unlock the bootloader with flashtool. I used another tool (attachment)
Just connect your phone with debugging mode turned on and open "msm7227_semc" from the zip and follow the instructions.
This worked perfectly for me. After finished, just reboot the phone, then its unlocked. Then you can install a custom kernel with flashtool.
pls tell me if it has worked

There are actually three different methods to unlock the bootloader, which one to use depends on the status of your phone. Flashtool does actually do a decent job in deciding which method (including the one you mention here) to use. It's in the plugins menu.
I would like to ask alienwrz to post a slightly more extensive part of the flashtool output, and maybe the output of the identify-button in S1Tool.

Where did you get the kernels from (the actual links may be useful) and what sizes are they?
(You did unlock the bootloader, so it's not directly a problem with flashing per se, because unlocking involves flashing a new loader to the phone, maybe your anti-virus could be interfering with flashing the actual kernels)

Do you mean to say you lost your network when you unlocked the bootloader?
That means your simlock-certificate wasn't compatible with the unlock-procedure, which you get warned against if you read it all properly.
Use SUS (SEUS) to repair your phone., and then use S1Tool (NOT flashtool) to restore your bootloader, by pressing the RESTORE-button.
Step 1: leave your phone disconnected from the computer
Step 2: choose 'update' in SEUS, it will say 'no updates available'
Step 3: choose the 'repair' link, it will let you select your phone-model and download the firmware
Step 4: when it asks for flashmode, connect your usb-cable to the phone and your computer, and then press home- and power-buttons at the same time.
Step 5: Start S1Tool and press Restore button, follow the instructions
Hope your signal will come back, there is no guarantee.

It kind of depends on how your phone was sim-unlocked i suppose, and it's not that unlocking restores your simlock, it just disables the radio-capabilities, no matter which sim you put in.
If you tried the manual bootloader-unlock method, there are a few options you can use, maybe the other one may give you success.
Just boot up your phone after the unlocking process and check the network before you do anything else, like flashing kernels and stuff.
And entering flashmode had never been a problem for me, not on JB and not on stock. It's usually a case of just turning your phone off and only putting it in flashmode (ie, press the backbutton and plug in the cable) when the program (Flashtool or SEUS or PC Companion) asks for it.
If you try to put it in flashmode before the program is ready it will boot up.

i have still the same problem. if i put the battery out and wait 10 secs put it back in the cell boots right away. even when i press the home and power button while i am quickly putting the usb cable in. i hardly can't connect my cell to pc in flashmode. when i am pressing the back button like sony updater tells me the same thing happens. as long as i press a key nothing happens doesn't matter how long i press it.
when i release it, the phone boots normally jb.
ok, i booted up cm while having phone plugged in. removed battery and put it right back in. right in this moment the led turned green and i hopefully gained into flashmode!
so i gained network back thanks for your help!
i performed all the steps again to unlock my bootloader and had success. i recognized that i run the wrong msm7227_semc.cmd .
thread can be closed. and again thanks for your help! :victory:
