Bootloader benefits?? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

with my previous phones i never had a bootloader issue...
this one's quite messed up.
can anybody please clarify the following things that will work after unlocking the bootloader on stock rom -
- facebook inside xperia
- music player like button
- track id
- timescape
if somebody has tried these features after bootloader unlock, please give your feedback
cuz i just can't wait with the stock rom.....

tha track id wont work again buddy......

what about the like button in the walkman player?

havent use walkman.... cant say!

All of them wont work when you unlock the bootloader using the official way. But there is another way which unlockes the bootloader without deleting the DRM security keys so apps like the ones mentioned above still function properly

I lol'd. Sony CLEARLY states that the only things that will not be working will be TrackID (there are apps for that in the market for free), and DRM Protected media. Facebook inside xperia will work, so will Timescape.

thanks guys.....so the lil like button in the music player won't work anymore for me. I absolutely loved it. Well, to gain something u gotta lose something.
I do not want to go by the test point method, cuz it seems quite fishy to me. Messing with the hardware can get u into trouble. I mean, what if sony releases a new firmware like .62 for bootloaders unlocked using testpoint method? hahaha!....well nyways thanks a lot! cheers! \m/

Am in love with yur comment..... Yu cant always get all yu need!!! but tha test point is fair i think. but even though yu didnt use tha test point to unlock yur bootloader, so far its unlock yu get update to (.62) through OTA method or else yu ll brick yur phone. I know for sure our XDA Developers ll help out on dat!

[Q] Xperia Mini Pro Questions

Hello
Just purchased a SK17i Xperia Mini Pro Black Version that is locked to 02 (UK network). I am obvously new to all this stuff but do have a basic understanding but here are some questions:
1) I am thinking of waiting until Android 4.0 is Officially released by SE to update my phone (btw, anyone know when the update is coming). Was wondering when I update will I still be able to root my phone?
2) When I root (if I can) I want to install Set CPU to overclock my phone. However I have heard this drains batteries? Is this true and if so how can I make my phone faster?
3) I need to unlock my phone. Can this be done for free after rooting? If not, can someone link me to the cheapest place I can get this unlocked from?
Thanks in advance to anyone that answers
Hey dude,welcome to XMP family.
1)According to Xperia Blog,XMP will get the ICS update in the end of May or early June,after the first wave for arcS,neoV and ray.I don't know whether we can root it on official ICS or not,but I think to get a rooted phone is easy once you unlock the bootloader,and besides,there are so many developers here.
2)When it comes to overclocking,apparently it would cause battery drain faster.But with my experience,I hardly feel its difference on SE stock Rom.As for custom rom like FXP's,which I has used for a while,it drains about 2~3% per hour while idle(drop speed is two times than stock.)
3)Certainly you can unlock your phone for free,see this thread & tutorial.But it should be noticed that once you unlock it then you may invalidate your warranty.
Mine is on FXP CM9(ICS) and it's kind of laggy,but I can't tell it's because of the ICS rom or existed bugs.As SE said,we may not have the same experience like Gingerbread if we update to ICS.

Hello mate, thanks for the great post
I think I will leave stock ROM once updated actually, seems to be running fine atm as it is.
I think I will still update to the official ICS when it comes out as does look worth it.
Just about no. 3) I think your talking about after rooting, the process to get custom ROMs by unlocking the bootloader? I was talking about the network? lol
Unless I'm mistaken?
Thanks again

There is no way to get your phone unlocked from a network for free but WontanServer offers an unlocking for $15. You can try that out. Just type WontanServer in Google and click the 1st link. WontanServer is legit and won't steal your money
Though as a warning you might not be able to update to ICS as it also might unlock your bootloader. Just double check, as I am not 100% sure. Also it will void your warranty

Thanks alot, will take a look at that website
What do you mean by updating to ICS will unlock my bootloader? Isn't that a good thing? Don't mind about warranty, can have that sorted out but don't understand the bold line mate
Thanks
good thing in the sense? If you don't bother about warranty then you can try custom ROM ics.but the problem is some bugs are not fixed by developers they will take time.main bug is camera not working..i am using ics so just check k? Good luck

He meant that the Wotanserver network-unlock method might unlock your bootloader (which it does). This bootloader unlock, whilst giving you access to custom ROMs etc, might not behave with official SONY updates (such as ICS) - I'd link you for proof but I'm not allowed to due to my low post count .
Also, Google 'Omnius Unlock'. They will unlock your phone for free over the next few days (Easter promotion). I'm not sure how reputable those guys are though so you'll want to check.
Thanks for that Omnius Lock thing, looks great and will check it out
So, if I unlock it I may be unable to upgrade to 4.0? That is a bit stupid to say the least? Anyone on an Xperia that was unlocked then ugraded to 4.0? Did it become locked again?

If your phone's bootloader is unlocked you can not recieve any official update through Sony as it will brick your phone but you can install a ICS ROM.

Well I'm not sure about 'stupid', you'll have to weigh it up. If you look in the development section, there's already a very useable version of ICS (look for MiniCMSanwich), which is potentially better than Sony's bloatware-infused and themed version (not to mention probably unrootable) due in a couple of months.
I think it's mainly FOTA bricks that happen (over-the air updating from Sony), and some bootloader unlocks allow for this by just patching the bootloader to make it seem unlocked (any SETool unlock will do this). So there are a number of options.
Be careful also of some bootloader methods stripping the DRM keys, these are used by Sony services like TrackID, which will cease to work (permanently) following a bootloader unlock.
Edit: There's a distinct difference between a network unlock and a bootloader unlock, the former will nearly always also execute the latter, but the latter can be done by itself (obviously only on unbranded phones). The method of getting a custom ROM is basically network unlock > bootloader unlock > root > install custom kernel > install custom ROM. Root can be done before the unlocks, I believe.
I'm new to all this too, only trying to explain because I know how much of a total pain it was to work it all out .

Ah, right. Makes everything at lot clearer thanks
So if I do unlock through the Wotanserver place, my bootloader will be unlocked but I wouldn't be able to get official ICS, but a just as good if not better copy? Is the ROM fully stable as in does everything function fine? I have heard of an ICS ROM which stopped HD recording on Xperias. Does this have any such problem?

Thanks for that, do you have a link for me which I can use?
And just generally, can I add that this is the way to get MiniCMSanwich ROM on my XMP:
Root (zerg's software) (not needed but useful so might as well do it then)
Unlock Bootloader (from SE's website or the link which hopefully the above poster/someone else gives me)
Kernel Installation (Flashtool)
Finally, flash the ROM and Gapps using Clockwork Mod Recovery
Thanks

It is the same unlock method, just everything brought to one place by that app maker.
Rooting your phone before custom ROM installation is not needed, because old ROM(stock) gets deleted anyway and custom ROMs include root already.

[Xperia S] Walkman - Music info problem

Hello Guys,
Recently I've unlocked my Xperia S bootloader and then upgraded it to ICS UK fw.
Because of the "DRM" thing i cant use that "find music info" feature.
In order to solve this problem i've locked my bootloader again, installed the original fw (UK ICS) and did a factory reset. But even though this feature is not working. So, is there anything that i can do to solve this situation? I really ejoyed this feature..
Thanks in advance,

Not only the album art, but the music name as well. I used to transfer some MP3 as "Track 01, Track 02, .." and then the walkmap app just updated with the correct name, for an example. I just had to use the option "Download music info" and it worked.
Anyway, is there a way to make it work again? As i told you, i've unlocked and then re-locked my bootloader.
Thanks in advance,

That's cause unlocking bl makes drm keys lost. I dont really know what are they for, but this is the consequence of deleting them.

Well as someone said the DRM keys are lost when you unlock your bootloader, even if you relock it it wont come back, for me i understand its like a license, and they are lost for security (I read that to protect their apps or something like that.... im not pretty sure) but the thing here is that you cant get your DRM keys, so you cant use this feature , try with media go to obtain the album art and all that stuff :silly:

I've checked with some people, and they report that even though they haven't unlocked bootloader or flashed anything to the phone., they still CANNOT download music info. It still results in an error.
Could it be a country specific thing due to licensing?
My country is Singapore and the people I've checked with are also from Singapore.
Also, I've found this: http://communities-origin.sonyericsson.com/message/236937#236937
Installed the apk but didn't work. Or must it be flashed for it to work?
It works for me. Don't forget to delete app\CredentialManagerService.odex.

[Q] Which way should i choose?

Hi everybody
I have installed real ics some time ago, and i found the experience much more complete than with custom
rom...
now i would like to make another step... so i shoul lock my bootloader first...
i read that there are two ways... test point and official sony...
with official sony you lose DRM...but i read also that the only problem tht this lost caused (track id doesn't work) doesn't exist anymore as latest version of track id works even without drm... so are there other problems if we lose drm?
because i think official unlocking is much easier isn't it? so why a person should choose the test point method?
latest answer: i found real ics is amazing rom... but, after unlocking bootloader (if i will succeed to), which kernel should i choose? i would like something safe, stable and fast... and if possible with good battery performance...
thx everybody for answer
hope i did not disturb with this post if repetitive... but i wanted someone to answer me directly, and even if i found good informations in this forum, i did not manage to decide what to do...
bb
i prefer test point method cos with it one wont lose drm keys & wont void warranty.... after bootloader unlock using testpoint, t will still show Allow bootloader unlock:yes but Official way will void warranty.
Indeed, test point method! No regret!
I would also recommend test point method as you dont lose drm keys, I did it with test point method myself because I didnt have a choice, anyways I didnt need drm keys, but some ppl do, so in that case better go with the safe side, the test point even tho it can be a little difficult
When I bought Mini Pro den, I use Test point & no issue but along tha line my screen break & took it to care center but I was told it can't be repaired & was given another one cos its still under warranty... But tha new one I was given can't be unloocked using Test point cos its having latest security so I used tha Official way but was happy though!
When you do the testpoint method, you have to remove the sticker under the battery to get to the actual testpoints.
So you have to do that very carefully, because if they notice you've been removing it, warranty is lost.
oh so many answers :laugh:
but all of you suggested me the same thing... so i think it's really best choice... i think however i won't need drm... but anyway you suggest me to use testpoint method, finally, not for drm but for warranty isn't it? and is it sure that if i use in right way test point they won't notice i've unlocked the bootloader (so i will still have the warranty)? beause i heared that in england they did not repair some xperia arc because they noticed the users had unlocked the bootloader....
so finally ya suggest me to use that method?
and for the kernel, which one would you suggest (stable, fast above all for telephone use and media, good battery...)
i want to thank all of you however... really ya give me all these answers that i did not expect to... thx a lot for helping me!
bb!
edit: ah sry whalesplaho talked about latest security... so how can i know if i can unlock it or not in safe way?
thx again!
My SK17i testpoint wasn't covered under the sticker. I unlocked using testpoint because of the warranty. I am not sure if they can detect this or not, but its lesser then two evils I guess. If you unlock the BL by Sony method they will have your IMEI in their system as unlocked so no way you can get lucky and keep your warranty. Even if the phone doesn't turn on completely, they know it has been unlocked.

test point doesnt work on latest releases of xperia mini/mini pro/active. If you have 12w17 on the back of your phone, then testpoint won't work. That's what others have said in the test point thread. I only used SE bootloader unlocking and its easy but you lose your DRM.

Several problems with Xperia Z2 after unlocking bootloader

Hello XDA community,
I have a Xperia Z2, and i unlocked bootloader WITHOUT saving my DRM Keys, (i know shame on me :crying, now i know I did something stupid, nothing to do about it, but since i unlocked, i have had several problems: inestability, it means i am using an app and it restarts, or just closes, or even my phone restarts, if I go to contacts i dont have facebook contacts, the option just dissapeard, it means birthdays dont show in calendar, average camera photos just too noisy or awful photos, xreality not working properly, i know some issues are known but i havent heard about facebook contacts, to be honest i feel really bad with phone like it. So my questions are these, and thank u, thank u who could answer me, just work with me I know a little of these world, so if u could be a little specific about instructions or solutions i would really appreciate it:
1) Having an unlocked bootloader phone, in terms of security, is it easier to hackers to mess up my phone?
2) Is it better to lock my bootloader, if so, how can i do it, resolving my issues and not losing features?
3) If unlocked bootloader is an option, how can i have my phone back, i mean without issues? ( I read a thread about this point, but i confuse a little, because i dont have recovery or rooted)
I tried installing an ftf from flashtool, issues still there =(
Thank your for ur patience.
God bless u.

Hmm technically yes. I guess it would be detrimental if someone grabs your phone and flash's a hacked boot.img. Root on your phone is more of a risk with an internet based attack or corrupt apk.

You can lock your bootloader but it won't fix your issues as you've lost your drm keys. There is a drm fix in the cross development section I think. Google "Xperia drm fix xda". Not sure if this will fix your Facebook issue though, I've never heard of that one. To relock your bootloader google "Xperia relock bootloader xda"

Firstly, if you don't have recovery or root, why unlock your bootloader? Thats sort of the point.
Since you lost your drm keys, the best thing you can do is flash a stock ftf file, apply the drm fix and relock your bootloader. It will never be 100 percent the way it was as you can't reapply your drm keys.

Isn't that the source of most of the worlds issues at the moment?
