How many times you want,there's no limit.
Trebuie doar sa copiezi codul de deblocare.Am blocat si am deblocat bootloaderul cred ca de 7-8 ori folosind acelasi cod.Pentru reblocarea bootloaderului cauta Relock bootloader in Xperia. Bafta!
Thanks man ....i unlocked bootloader once and now i relocked it and i was just wondering...thanks

Hello all. I have a problem when I want to unlock bootloader without lose DRM.
I installed all the drivers but when I come to step 4 (androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/) but I don't know exactly what to do.
I start s1 tools and patchSEMCboot.
I tried to connect the testpoint and then connect the ground wire but nothing.
I tried to connect like step 1,case 2,image 1 but nothing.
All I need is this step!!
Thanks all for the responses and sorry for my bad english but I'm italian.
It's your phone branded? I mean, it's sim locked? You need to unlock first.. if you unlock with fast gsm or wotanserver it will unlock bootloader too..
Ps.. my english sucks too, but you can write in italian, I will understand..

See Jinx13, you may need your bootloader unlocking
Thanks for the help. My phone isn't branded or sim lock. I don't know why my phone has this problem for unlock bootloader.But I installed the drivers and I recognized him.
Grazie per l'aiuto. Il mio telefono non è brandizzato ne ha la scheda bloccata. Io non capisco perchè il mio telefono ha questo problema per sbloccare il bootloader.Però ho installato i driver e me lo ha riconosciuto.
Are sure you find the right testpoint? Post your log too..

Thanks at all! I unlocked my bootloader,i did'nt touch TestpintREADY I'm idiot!
Ultimate question: Now i have FW .58,can I upgrade at .68 with unlocked bootloader or i brick my phone?
Yes, it will brick your phone.. If you want to update use flashtool, wotan client or find a version that you can install with cwm recovery..
Sent from my WT19i using XDA App
Ok thanks
So if I upgrade with SEtool it didn't brick? Very good.
If you want to switch from CFW to original FW i can upgrade with SEtool,true?
Thanks thanks thanks

Nop, I said flashtool about original firmware, are you talking about stock rom or "your stock rom"? You should backup your rom first, before you install a custom rom.. But since you already "lost" warranty (actually, you didn't.. There's tricks to get your warranty back, unless you open your phone..), you can put any stock rom with flashtool or wotan client..
(there's other ways to get back your firmware after installing a custom rom, but i'm not gonna tell you yet.. it's too much confusing for you right now..)

I am not a noob..have played alott with HTC and samsung phones...but sony seems to b a different ball game all together..i hv been reading threads since the last two days to unlock the bl of my neo v..and flash roms and stuff...
but there are a couple of qstns that are bothering me...
1-I wanted to install KA20.1 Ics rom..since its official stripped down ics... but it needs unlocked bootloader. i am currently running gb..2.3.4 .62...
first i though of rooting and using gb as it is.. but now since ics is here i am inclined to use ics
so here is my question..
If i unlock my bootloader..and then flash official ics using flashtool..will the bootloader get locked again?? will it create any kind of issue for me with regard to using flashtool and flashing official ics?? if yes then what..
will it have to b unlocked again???
and the next question
Everything remains the same in case of jj hybrid rom also??
but i wud appreciate all the help i can get ..cz whatever i learn i always give it back to the forum..
xda rocks..
cheers...

No.
Though not sure what you meant by "flashing official ics". If you meant with flashtool, then answer is still no.
If you meant on using PCC or SEUS then answer depends how you unlock your BL. IF you unlock it unofficial way, with s1tool, then you won't have any problem. If you unlock it via IMEI code from Sony developer page, then you won't be able to use PCC or SEUS until you relock your BL(which is done by flashing 1 ftf file).
And for both official and unofficial way worth rule, do not use OTA updates. For official way, that's 100% correct, while for unofficial way, some report problems, some don't have them.

You mean 2 -ve battery pins? Yeah, only connect to 1, it's enough. Or you can also connect it to simcard holder, as I read, people also do that. Point is to ground it, whatever method you want

You're not irritating. Usually I would irritate if someone asks without researching, but as I see you actually research yourself, so it's not hard to answer you
Anyway, for root and CWM, check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678690
---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------
I don't like OTA, and after you unlock your BL it will be smart not to use it, as we told above.
And if you unlock your BL it's much easier to root it, as I wrote, check that thread I linked in this post and try.

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?

Does anyone know the easiest way to root (no downgrade, etc.) for WT19i with android ics 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431)?

Either unlock bootloader and install custom kernel or downgrade.

How this works?
With downgrading
Sent from Bregenz, Austria
You must first have your bootloader unlocked. Search the forum for ways on how to, there are (2) current methods being used to. When your bootloader is unlocked, download either expeacer's extended kernel or krsh v 3.0( check my sig ) and install it via fastboot mode. By following this you accomplish the ff: root your phone, install cwm and busybox. Btw, someguyfromhell has made a tut for this. Check it out.

Downgrading is the best option, even for noobs like you and me
I did it on my xperia mini pro and it worked like a charm, just follow the instructions, it's really easy once you've read them carefully

No, so far there is no known way to root ICS 4.0.4. Downgrading is the only way if you want to keep your bootloader locked.

how bootloader can be unlocked of wt19i ics build 4.1.B.0.431 ?
Bootloader unlock voids warranty! But Check out at
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
Better to root is downgrading! You can unroot and keep your warranty...
Second method for Bootloader unlocking is testpoint method, just search in General section.

Neo V, dev section, sticky threads. Read them!
You are old enough here to know that.
Hey dude, I didn't post this thread before i search, I barely look in to Neo V DEV section. I have found many post that explained "how to unlock? ", but no"lock" thread !!!. Can you redirect me to the right section ?

So dude, have you tried to check where I pointed you? I won't give you exact link.
There are not many sticky threads in dev section, and not more than 1 with unlocking BL.
And yes, it does contain information how to relock your BL.
Dude sorry, I was frustrated to find a quick solution to lock my phone. Otherwise i can't go for warranty service. Also the keyword i used was not correct. Any way i got it now, but don't go-away i will come back here if any help needed.
