[Q] Can I use S1 tool with a bootloader unlock not allowed? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

I've checked out *#*#7378423#*#* and my bootloader status says unlocking not allowed.
I've successfully rooted my Neo V and that's great.
So is it now safe to use S1 tool as in vimjam's noob guide or am I stuck?

It will unlock, but you won't have fastboot. You will have to pay for.serial or xunlock

Thanks. I've found X Unlock (at FastGSM) but not .serial. Any help on that one appreciated.

You can also find someone who have setool box, and pay for unlocking.

Good for you that your brother knows about setool box.
Apparently OP doesn't know, and that's why he ask here and that's why I answered here. Same as you don't know everything and will eventually ask something here, and someone who knows that from his diaper time will answer you.
So unless I gave wrong information or made a mistake in my answer, there is no need for that kind of posts.

hehe, that devil/tricky autocorrect

OK, thanks for your replies but, for a noobie, please let me know if the fastgsm xunlock service will allow me to use fastboot.... having rooted and unlocked my xoom I am finding this one really tough going. Because of the bootloader locked scenario, it's proving to be difficult.

Setool has been used by many here, unlock is newer, and automated. Personally I would go with setool as there is someone else involved, if something goes wrong they can help.

So, to be clear setool is a service offered by people using hardware whereas s1tool (as in vimjam's post is the diy job? Is that right?

No, s1tool, is a free limited to bootloader unlock version that doesn't need a card. Setool needs a card but can also remove network locks and more. just search there are people that will do it remotely too

You've been very helpful, thanks given. I've found jinx 1 on the internet with complete explanation videos and remote unlocking, looks good so hopefully I'll soon be there.

Good luck with it. You'll soon have full control of your phone

15 dollars to unlock it from SE tools.. Better to do it that way then to get a virus or something with this guy... It's not enough to be worth the risks involved.

If he was serious, he would have at least spelt *Xperia right.
If something looks too good to be true.
It is.
No offence, but avoiding anything of this nature like the plague.
I talked to him, he bought Omnius license although he didn't need it.
I understand your suspicions but you could unlock fastboot with this.

It certainly goes long ways, believe me. Everybody knows that courtesy is a positive trait. Writing properly is how you show courtesy through written means, like you show it when you give up your seat in the bus so that an elderly person or a pregnant woman can sit down.
I think courtesy is in the context not the presentation.

[Q] Relock bootloader (or at least hide text) ?

Does this method actually work for the Atrix4G (AT&T), can it be confirmed by anyone in here?
If you have an unlocked bootloader and use a Monster SBF will it only remove the UNLOCKED text from the POST, or does it actually fastboot oem lock ?

Well I searched the forums I could not find anything related, so I will just delete the post if possible, since apparently there will be not constructive feedback. Some people here seem to have a superiority complex.

No way to relock after unlocking the bootloader. It's a hardware lock/unlock, not software.
It may be spotted at AT&T store or service center. If they turn the phone on the first thing they will see is "unlocked" in the upper left corner. Per what it says when you unlock your phone, this "MAY" void your warranty. Don't listen to advice saying they won't care at the service center. The one where I live does everything they can to get your phone back working before replacing it. Been there a couple of times.
You can remove the "unlocked" in the boot screen by flashing back to 4.1.26, 4.1.57, etc., but the phone is still unlocked, it just won't say unlocked anymore unless you reflash the unlock, after which it will be on the boot screen again.
I would say if you are returning it, don't unlock the bootloader.

Well as long as they don't actually open the phone to look a the fuse, I'll take my chances. Thanks for the info.
Just use the "Fruitcake" method. It doesn't relock the BL, (nothing does) but it does get rid of the unlock message...

[Q] bootloader locked by provider can be unlocked ?

Hi!
I've already search in other phone but i don't found any clear answer, but i'm sorry if the question is already posted in this forum !
If it say "unlock bootloader allowed : no" in service info, with the xperia s phone , is there any solution to "unblock" the bootloader for future unlock?
Thanks
I wanna know the answer too, i know i cant, but i dont know if there is a paid mathod.

That method requires sending the phone to SONY for bootloader unlocking for any country or carrier, the only requirement is to haVe the phone Simunlocked. But it works.

I am in the same boat. There is a Sony s1 signature server which you can use remotely using ezSemc. You need to buy credits from a company (www.microunlocker.com is one). You need to ask for a full CSCA certificate unlock. Trouble is, server is offline at the mo, no one knows when it's back on.
If you search s1 signature server status using Google you'll find more info about when the server may be back online.
Just a waiting game at the mo.
Cheers,
Lunar.

You need to wait for the Sony s1 signature server to be back online. Many other posts about this already. Search in Google.

It's the server companies use to unlock Sony phones remotely. We need to do a full csca certificate unlock to change the status to yes. It's a paid service though where you need to buy credits. There's lots of info on Google about the server being down, some rumours it may not come back online. Just have to keep searching until there's some news to the contrary.
