its good and all the AiO tool, wich works like a charm, but i ( and not only me ) wants a unlocked bootloader so we can flash other roms, better roms faster and more stable, Anyone trying?
I think Condi is working on this, It would be really nice to see CWM on this
Yes indeed,
and here i was assuming this was already done since i've never come to this section before.....was almost tempted to trade my touchpad for the tablet S...keep going devs....you might just manage to tempt me
it's locked..
on sony's official site, there is a list shows devices that can unlock the bootloader, but tablet s is not on that list..
my 4.0.3 tablet s, can't be rooted, it's annoying!!

We could do with ur help!
Why don't all Android manufactures unlock the bootloaders? That way devs can take the load off Sony software devs and cook up great roms to keep the plebs happy .
Its a win win situation.

Because for all kinds of warranty and legal issues, someone like Sony would prefer to have a far greater control over what software their hardware is running and a locked bootloader is the first step to that.

Motorola are doing this, they sell "developer" devices, with the bootloader unlocked before you get the phone!

Look at this
Sony do it too.. All of the xperia range (unbranded) can be unlocked with a simple tool provided by Sony.

I am also in support of starting a petition. What bad can it do? Sony has unlocked bootloaders for a lot of their recent smartphones. If a petition is signed by enough people, they will reconsider and allow Tablet S/P to be unlocked too!
I'm all for trying, but just warning people not to get their hopes up for the petition working. The Tablet S just hasn't sold that[/I] well, and the subset of Tablet S owners on XDA is even smaller. Still worth a shot, I guess.
I will write up a text, you guys will verify it and we will begin a petition. Absolutely nothing to lose. We can also send it around to various android sites to gain some publicity...
Break it! Crack it! Unlease the beast inside!!...
O my god it would be so nice to flash a other rom..
Something like a rom with Touchwiz UI like my Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 ,
That would be great

it looks like "maxrfon" found wonderful bug in qualcomm mcu bootrom RSA signature verification.
he did not want to share it here, but he shared it for x$$$$, where x not in [0..4] ( will be stupid to do otherwise )
finally bug is published.
what is for ppl here?
that means , yes-yes - total control over secmboot.
REAL "bootloader hack"
of course, exploit, which rewriting semc boot encrypted with some tricks.
but once it runs, it can be defeated, eh ?
so, what i all about.
looks like real deal custom roms will be available for x10.
and.. perhaps, just perhaps... bug is generic for qualcomm MCUs....
Is this SPAM?? -.-
well maybe for you.
for other developers it is signal.
or you really think that security hole can lasts "protected" more that week after solution, which based on it published ?
you devs are GODZ, semc will not be happy i hope it works also on small xperias

Yes, you can. Install what ever the heck you like on your phone once it's unlocked is possible.
@the_laser : This is a very good news, but darn, it'll void the warranty of our phone if you get the bootloader unlocked -- I consider this as the last resort. Hopefully SE will unlock X10's bootloader in the next update.
This is awesome though I don't really understand anything LOL

i would disagree, securtity holes could not last long.
that security hole, in particular.
Great news!
Here you wrote about 1-2 days until it is available. Are you serious about that? Are we that close?
I guess we should wait with any official update then, right? Although the chances are not that big that this security hole will be fixed since you didn't release anything by now, I still think even the GB-update isn't worth the risk of not getting an unlocked/hacked bootloader.

Yeah, Sony is to blame for this... Very bad product policy... If someone wants to root its tablet, the should let him do so... Dont' wanna say they should support rooting the tablet, but other way round they should not prevent it... They just shoud be neutral and so many more people would buy the tablet

I disagree with "is The Thing" because I have an xperia S with unlocked bootloader and there are roms, and some ways for flashing through CMW, I think that the problem is that there are no developers for our tablet. (ok, just few developers like Condi)

Hopefully a few developers jump on the Woot.com deal today and pick up one , cheap. Also, that sale and the announced replacement may make for future opportunities to pick it up cheaply and make it a better value.
Only takes a couple of devs to make a big difference when you only have a one or a few carrying the most of the development load.

How can someone add developers to a phone? Xda isn't a company that has developers that get paid to make custom roms and kernels. Developers here are all volunteers. They don't get paid for what they do. They develop for phones they have.
Show some respect.

you will have to wait its still a new phone even unlocking the phones sim lock hasnt been out long and is only possible through SETools.
give it a while and once ICS is out and the devs get hold of the phone it will happen, altho we have to wait for ICS 1st!!! lol
Once it has ICS you may see more devs. Problem is the phone isnt widely available for free on all carriers and it isnt the flagship model. Most lowend phones receive less dev support.

I'd say that it has to do primarily with sales, not with the status of the phone as high or low end. The Xperia Play was a mid-high end when it came out, and it didn't have a huge community since it sold poorly. The HTC Wildfire and Xperia X8 were thought as mid-low end or low end models and they still have a following: they sold decently well. One has to take into account other factors as well: whether the bootloader is locked or unlocked (this basically blows Motorola out of the water), whether the company is overall hostile or friendly towards devs (Sony has made huge strides to please them, which has shown nice results), the difficulty of making ROMs themselves (Chinese companies have tablets which are easily hackable, but they tend not to publish source code)...
Hi All,
just read the holiday guide on the XDA, and the best OEM was chosen Sony for their support to Dev s. If i read it right the Xperia S boot loader was unlocked for development, is it that they still don't want to divulge the kernel of Sony Tablets to the Devs yet.

Yes, it is true that the Xperia S bootloader is available for unlock from Sony but I have no idea why we are not allow root and unlock the bootloader for Sony Tablets. :sly:

Sony is manufacturing the Tabs and Sony Mobile the smartphones.... I think it's obvious that they are not completely merged in terms of development support etc. they still act like 2 different companies.
It will take a little bit more time to be completely merged!

Is this new and useable by the development community or is this useless old stuff? I have been harassing/making threats daily for recovery images and developer edition product support. Maybe it paid off? I straight up told them on the phone i was choosing to spend 3k$ on a new LG fridge over a samsung because they **** on the dev edition buyers. I never figured it would really help but maybe it did! :good:

Does this mean the Dev edition will have an Odin-flashable .tar restoration file for the MJ3 firmware soon? Or that it already exists now?

LOL, bro don't do that...
I made the mistake of buying an LG frig for a rental house I own. Maybe I just got a lemon, but it has been the biggest POS I ever bought.
The piece of junk burned up the compressor 8 months after I bought it (among other minor problems)
luckily I can fix it myself, but I would never buy another one.
This has a 10 year warranty on the linear compressor, and I picked up a 5 year extended from home depot. Its too late now! Lol. I did some research and this seemed like the best purchase. Only time will tell I guess... However Samsung didn't get my money and that's a personal victory for me!
