Ace does not have bootloader

wtf does a bootloader do anyway? Is it safe to not have it? O.O

whoever says we don't have bootloader must check first that we do have one.. but samsung don't lock bootloaders like others do ..
thats why sammy devices are easily hackable for roots and other things..
your pc can't boot without bootloader and same is case with phones if i am not wrong

My friend got se xperia neo v, and unlocking its bootloader is a pain in the arse. Se do provide official way to unlock it, but after doing it the official way the warranty is void forever, no way to revert back and relock the bootloader. Eventho got unofficial hack way, its risky and can hard brick the device in a blimp. From my experience helping him unlock the damn thing bootloader, i'm glad my first android device is from samsung, and i think my next will be samsung too

madman_amit. Your'e not wrong ;p but i think when someone has bought ace from some carriers like Orange or T-Mobile, they have locked bootloaders. I dont know if i am wrong , but someone from other forum said that ) BUT if i have good memory, i remember that my friend wrote me on gg( polish messeneger like MSN) that he have installed three roms on his phone at the same time o.o i could ask him for that ^^

unlocking Neo bootloader with S1tool still possible??

Hi guy's,
I've been looking everywhere and managed to find a few random threads but most of the links are gone and Ive been trying to piece information together but can not seem to get S1tool to unlock my Neo
My Neo is not network locked (it was bought in Singapore and is running on a German prepay simcard) S1tool can recognise the phone (when I do an IDENTIFY) but when I try to unlock the bootloader nothing happens..
Its say to remove battery, connect testpoint to phones battery negative terminal then press "Testpoint READY" and attach USB cable... but it just sits there.. I have installed all drivers possible.. does S1tool still work on the Neo's?
Has anyone on here used that method? I don't really want to lose DRM and track id etc... so the official method doesn't seem the best.
Seems like someone is trying really hard to remove mention of it on XDA all I find is links to a website where someone is charging to unlock the phones.. hrm.
Any idea's?
Kiwi
EDIT..
O.K.. I found this thread.. here this time it worked.. seems I had the wrong driver installed for the Qualcom USB device... Bootloader unlocked and still have DRM..
Kiwi
yes its possible but you CANT relock it
Thought s1tool could relock too.. Oh well, don't know why I would ever want to relock it anyway.. (never been one for warranties anyway)

nope sorry mate, you better use the official one, i did it to with the official like i told, so i relock it again because when you have unlocked bl you cant not update through official se programs like pc companion etc
I'm pretty sure that I can still do OTA updates with my unlocked bootloader.. One of the advantages of using S1tool over official method

He should be able to use pc companion I think if drm keys are fine.Using setool2 method and I still can use pc companion.s1tool is kinda crippled version of setool2 I guess

Hmm ok and yes i geuss he can that to, but im not for sure i have no unl bl ya know
Yep, been reading up on other forums too, they say I can use the same S1tool to relock my bootloader (Repair button) also the ability to use SEUS to update and still having DRM intact.. I think I'll stay away from "official method" this one seems to have no disadvantages

Yes, you can use SEUS/PC Companion if you unlocked BL with s1tool or setool2 method.

With setool2 method I can confirm you can use pc companion,tested on my Neo V and works.If it won't work for you my guess is afaik 1st you used official method to unlock bl right ? if yes you would've lost your drm keys,and I think that is why you cannot use pc companion.Bcos I remember kiwi posting that pc companion worked on his phone which got bl unlocked by s1tool method and drm keys was not lost too.

LOL, well right now with locked BL its impossible, you have to unlock it.... its probably that in the threads already posted someone like me already said it
its most annoying having a locked BL - orangeUK did it to my device. waiting for an exploit or maybe ICS might do something. I have read that if you get the SIM unlock code into it, it may unlock the BL but I cannot say for certain, I may try this to see if it will allow the bootloader to be unlocked.
as for now we are stuck with a locked BL
Well, it's little off-topic, but what if we collect enough unlock code - IMEI/network ID pairs? If there is a database with tens or maybe hundreds of unlock keys, somebody smart enough can figure out the algorithm needed to generate unlock code to everyone.
Naturally nobody should post he's IMEI and unlock code in public. There must be somebody (preferably developer) who will collect those keys via PM or email.
What do you think about that?

Question related to Warranty

Lets say I tried all those fancy mods and unlocked my bootloader. Will I loose my warranty? What to do to make it look like I never unlocked the bootloader? I'm asking this question for warranty purposes

Hello All,
i have the GT-I9300 Europe version, rooted, JB 4.1.1

i even heard that the Samsung have already an unlocked boot-loader - i don't think it's true.
Thank you very much.
S3 Bootloaders are unlocked cept the Verizon US Variant (which an unlock is available)

Hi,
Thanks for the answer.
if so, how can i check if my boot loader is indeed unlock?
Since early 2011 Samsung has only had unlocked bootloaders with the exception when a provider demanded it (like Verizon).
So yours is UNLOCKED.

OK thanks, but must be a way to check it, right?
i want to learn you know...
If its locked you can neither flash root nor a custom rom .
But it does not apply SGS3 I9300 has never been locked .

1) The bootloader is not locked. Your post is based on rubbish and could potentially brick an international s3. Please only post things you understand, not dangerous nonsense like this.
2) "dis" and "ur" are not proper words. The language of this forum is English and you have a responsibility to use real words. Sure, you may use less-than-perfect grammar and punctuation but at least try to spell words properly if you want to be taken seriously*
*also depends on 1).

U could ask the service center guyz if they could help u
And there would a developer kind enough to port cm 10 to locked bootloader once its out
And regarding oc... It requires custom kernel as u knw which requires unlocked bootloader :\
