I found a guidance in a Chinese forum,it says you should press vol up botton not vol down......

You have to push volume UP and not DOWN I think. Volume UP is for Fastboot mode (Blue LED) and DOWN is for Flash mode. (Green LED)

Well, try this: call *#*#7378423#*#* and then select "Service Info" -> "Configuration", and look down, on "rooting status". If the message is:
A.) Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes YOU CAN UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER WITH S1TOOL
B.) Bootloader unlock allowed: No/Missing YOU CAN'T UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER WITH S1TOOL, AND NEED OMNIUS FOR UNLOCKING YOUR DEVICE BOOTLOADER.
Try that, and if your phone allows unlocking your bootloader, I'll help you in anything I can.

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.

I extract files to specific directories in /system, and set correct permissions. After reboot i press volume down button to enter CWM.

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

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.

My Bootloader Unlocked?
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

When you type *#*#7378423#*#* and then Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status and If Bootloader unlock allowed says yes, there shouldn't be any problems! If there's no you can't unlock bootloader...
How did you unlocked (or tried to unlock) bootloader? By sony official or testpoint method?

Okay bootloader unlock no means, that you can't unlock your bootloader. There are some threads about, so maybe you could take a look there.
Maybe it could work with wotan but this is a paid method... I don't know just search for something like "xperia lww bootloader unlock:no"
Is it branded by a special carrier? So you can only unlock by SE Tool 2!
only when its supported by ur device
u can unlock bootloader on ur phone only if ur device supports it..

The link is for rooting Android 4.0.4.
@OP You can't unlock bootloader if unlock bootloader says no, or you could make a new thread and ask for unlocking bootloader if it says no.

Yes you can root your device without bootloader unlock!
Whats your current rom by sony? Gingerbread or ics? Pls say at gingerbread the last two numbers of the build number (.62, .58 .42 etc)
My rom is stock ics
Ok you will loose your data through this process, sorry.
Do it like it is explained here.
It works without bootloader unlock it's very easy to do. Just follow the very great guide!

No, he CAN'T unlock the bootloader if it says bootloader unlock: no. So your link won't work! HE CAN'T.
Just with SE Tool 2. Google for it and look for tutorials if you really want to unlock your bootloader!
But with sony he can't if it says bootloader unlock allowed: no!

So you have installed flashtool and go to installation folder > drivers and you installed all the drivers for all devices? Just install all.
After that turn phone off, wait 30 seconds (maybe just 2 secs but better wait). Afterwards hold volume up and while holding just plug in the computer, don't turn on, just hold volume up and connect to pc
But to flash a custom kernel you have to unlock bootloader. How to is in my signature

i have the same problem, i had already installed flashtool and android sdk, downloaded the Google USB Driver Packager, downloaded android_winusb.inf, but when i connect my turned-off wt19i with Fastboot button pressed to my computer - nothing does not matter. Only blue indicator lights on my phone. What s wrong? Please, help me
Just wanted to summarize some replies.
1. Bootloader unlocking is needed for custom kernel flashing. Even if it stays locked, u can STILL ROOT ur phone and flash a good custom rom. Just try the doomlord rooting to root.
2. For all guys unable to get into fastboot, please have flsshtool running on ur system when ur doing this. If the device doesn't connect, please post log from flashtool.
Also make sure u enable usb debugging and unknown sources from phone settings beforehand. And also go to connectivity and usb connection modd shud be MSC not MTP.
Also use flashtool latest version only. I think its 0.9.9.0 rt now.

Install a program called PdaNet,before when I installed all drivers,my phone also wasn't connecting in fastboot mode.

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?

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)

I am assuming your phone can be bootloader unlocked and you have unlocking key from sony.
If you don't know then refer to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159
WARNING: IT WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE DATA SO MAKE BACKUP
1. Install Flashboot and Fastboot drivers of Flashtool (setup file will be on C:\Flashtool\drivers or similar place).
2. Turn on your phone, and connect with usb debugging on.
3. Go to Plugins-> Bootloader Unlock option, start it.
4. Now it will ask to disconnect your phone and reboot in FLASHMODE.
5. Again reboot your phone in FASTBOOT mode.
6. It will show a window with your IMEI number, insert your unlock key and click "unlock".
7. The device will reboot and you are done!
FLASHMODE
You can get into flashmode by pressing specific hardware key and connecting phone to pc via USB.
It will glow GREEN LIGHT on led if done correctly.
Hardware key-
Back Button (X8, X10, X10 mini, X10 mini pro, Play, Arc, Arc S, Neo, Neo V, Pro)
Volume Down Button (Xperia U,P,S,Sola)
FASTBOOT Mode
You get into fastboot mode by turning off your phone, then pressing the fastboot mode key button, and connecting the USB to your phone. Done correctly and you should see a BLUE LIGHT on the power button.
Hardware key-
Menu Botton (Xperia Arc, Arc S, Neo, Neo V, Pro)
Volume Up Botton (Xperia U,P,S,Sola)

yes, turn off your phone then connect USB while pressing specific key.
same applies for fastboot method
When I am installing drivers, I am getting "don't install or install anyway", I choose install anyway but the same window comes up again. Should my phone be turned on, off or in flashmode or something?

Yes I checked, it can be unlocked
If you have installed Flashtools and its drivers correct you shouldn't get any driver prompts when plugging the phone in
Assuming you did a default install browse to C:\Flashtool\drivers and execute the drivers file. Make sure you select the drivers for you phone ie "Xperia U" and scroll to the bottom of the list and select Flashboot and Fastboot drivers. From what I have seen so far most people are not installing these 3 drivers.
karimkahale: I would go back to the Sony website and get your unlock code again. Maybe you entered some wrong details...
Please help me out,

Successfully installed Fastboot driver on windows 8 (Used Advance Startup for installing unsigned drivers)through Flashtools and also unlocked bootloader..
Accidently lost all data as unlocking bootloader wipes data...forgot to take a backup but m happy.
Thank you for this tutorial mate!
It's better if we can get unlock key from flashtool
Sent from my MT27i using xda premium
Thanks a million, but would my warranty be void immediately after I unlock the bootloader, what's the regulation about this matter, I'd like to keep my warranty.
---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------
If i relocked the boot loader the warranty wouldn't be void, right?
Not quite;
It all depends on your repairman...
The standard, though, is, that the warranty is valid if the guys at the repair center can flash a stock ROM (.ftf) onto the phone. Some phones can do this without their bootloader being locked, but some can't do this after their bootloaders are unlocked, even if they are locked back afterwards...
Now, I have a question:
I'm having the same error as karimkahale...
Whatever I do, I get that stupid error, and not even Sony can help me (their support team (that needs a week to reply to a simple e-mail) said that thy don't know how to help)...!
Thanks a lot for the guide, it was really helpful!
Cheers!
