Hello All
I was reading about how to root my Xperia S, I saw I need to unlock my bootloader, however my operator put a lock on my phone and I think I can't unlock it with the official way, is there another way to have root on my phone with android 2.3.7
Thanks!

There is no way yet to unlock the bootloader, I am in Mexico and my phone is locked too, I have a way to debrand your phone to recieve updates or upgrades instead of waiting for telcel, if you want it send me a private message and will show you how
You can't yet
Hi Im From Mexico too and attached to telcel, right now the only thing you cand o its upgrade your software with a generic FTF file, i recommend you the one from UK Generic... its .75 and works fine!, it will unbrand your xperia too
Im looking right now if there is a way to obtain a unlock code from telcel, because right now its in "amigo" and dont have contrat with them.... but i dont get an answer yet

same here, I bought my Xperia S directly to Sony Mexico, and it is locked too, I talked with Sony like 5 times, each one with different person and all said the same, that it is locked because in Mexico, there are not unlocked devices, no matter who sold it. They said that I have to talk with telcel so maybe they can give me the unlock code, will let you know if I will success
Hi, I was thinking in getting an Xperia S but if the bootloader is locked I won't get it.
Just to clarify, you both have done this (from: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions)
1. First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
2. In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

and you got the "Bootloader unlock allowed: No"?
Yep it says "no" if you are going to Buy one it is better if you buy it on web pages, you can find it unlocked by factory

So is there another way you can get a code or does it has to be from TELCEL? i mean are there some kind of keygens or something? i bet TELCEL can't have thousands of codes for all the cellphones they have...
setool s1 servers are online so you can unlock simlock, and bootloader of any provider
Do you have the link to setool page?
Enviado desde mi LT18i usando Tapatalk 2
and what exactly is this setool s1? and how do you use it?
SeTool2 is tool to unlock, repair etc Sony Ericsson phones.
It can unlock Xperia S (LT26) with they servers (names s1 server) it online 0:00 - 12:00 gmt
You must buy software + server credits to ulock or find someone to unlock your phone in my country cost 140 PLN ~ 32 Euro ~ 41USD
Sounds great! Do you know were can find a guide to do it?
Enviado desde mi LT18i usando Tapatalk 2
it's not too easy, but apart of the setool software you have to own a box to conect to your pc in order to unlock the sim and enable the fastboot, if i'm wrong then make a tutorial and teach us how???
i dont have money to buy setool for unlock one phone. so i cant make tutorial
people that unlock Xperia S do it remote by TeamViewer ... you just download software and connect Xperia to pc by USB cable, they login to your pc, then login to s1 server with their user/password and unlock
i check this metod after get salary and write more
enable fastboot and sim unlock

Hey I along with others are waiting for bootloader unlock for third party sim unlocked phones. I was wondering if anybody unlocked their bootloader anyway and had any luck. By third party I don't mean you received imei code from a different company I mean you had to plug in your phone to your computer when unlocking.
EDIT: I have contaced Multi-Unlock-Client and they said they are working on getting the bootloader unlock to us and it will be here soon: 1-2 weeks.
YEAH.

I heard that if you reunlock with setool2 then all will be okay and you can unlock bootloader. BUT I have not freaking idea how to use setool2 or how to get it or how to pay for it...it boggles my mind why they use credits instead of real currency and I don't know if you need se toolbox or whatever.
I prefer not to pay for unlocking sim TWICE.

Here you go...
https://rs107dt.rapidshare.com/#!do...l2lite1.11www.se-tuning.net.rar|68890|R~0|0|0
if you get "not recognized simlock certificate", you have 3 ways:
1.
go to nearest service center and ask to unlock your phone with setool2.
almost all 3rd-party service centers have setool2 equipment and can help you.
cost can't be less than 15$ and upper limit depend of service center greed ( mostly they are GREEDY guys )
2.
wait,until lead ( omnibus developer ) will integrate semcboot unlock in omnibus software.
if you used omnibus to unlock your phone, it can be even free for you.
if not - price will depend of lead's greed ( and he is EXTREMLY GREEDY guy )
3.
wait,until tool author, which wrote tool you used to unlock your phone, integrate
semcboot unlock in own tool.
ps.
all that other 3rd-pary unlock tool authors need to do -
- sniff my patched s1boot
- replace S1_SL_Root_xxxx with own
- proudly release new version with words "world first user friendly REAL TRUE TOTALLY SAFE ULTIMATE bootloader unlock blablablablabla"
Thank you for the information...its actually very helpful. I did not get mine unlocked from omnius, i got it unlocked from multi unlock client...so hopefully that person knows about this and will integrate it soon.
Thank you again the_laser for taking your time to read my post. And of course bootloader unlock.
I contacted the company JIC technology the maker of multi unlock client...and hopefully they will get back to me soon.
I have receieved an email from a JiC technology..the makers of the multi unlock client software...so if any of you ahve used that to sim unlock your phones a bootloader unlock provided by them will be published in the next 2 weeks.
SWEET.
Waiting ..
I'm on the same boat ..... Its been a week now of I think It won't be long now , do anybody know where lease can I check for the updates on the multi unlock client ?
Cheers
Anyone got any more news on this ?

I Opened a case with JIC Tech to ask for the bootloader unlock and they just closed it with no reply .
They have released V52.00 of the Multi unlock client and there is no reference to the X10 bootloader unlock .
I guess I we should have used the IMEI method ... ;(
Just a thought. Maybe, with the new version out, someone could flash back to stock 2.1, re-run the unlock, then run the s1tool to see if it's now compatible. I can't try it for a few days, but it might be worth a shot.
E.T.A.: This is for those of us who used the Multi Unlock Client.
I said weeks ago that I have Omnius unlocked bootloader and I can give it in PM.

Blagas,
Thanks for the software via PM last night.
Can you check your PM as the bootloader unlocking does not work for me.
All the info should be in your PM box.
Thanks.
Downloaded to 2.1 rom and still getting errors whrn running the bootloader unlocking cmd file.
I wonder if i am doing something wrong.
Has anyone got a "how to" guide for people who unlocked their phone with "omnius" software ?
Thanks.
Received email from Multi Unlock Client creator...
"Just to keep you informed. We are nearly finished with our other project so i hope that after 1 week we can do the unlock for bootloader.Either way it is next on the list

This email is about 2 days old so look for a serious software update soon.
I've been reading all day, yet I still don't have it quite clear.
My phone can not unlock the BL, therefore regardless how many firmwares I will flash it I won't be able to remove branded apps, right? because I need it rooted to remove the apps I don't want.
On the other hand, If I get a code to remove the sim lock when the time comes and the BL may be unlocked, will I be able to unlock the BL, I read in a post something that confused me regarding unlocking the sim by a code from a internet provider, but don't remember where.
Thank You
I got mine networked unlocked and the bootloader is still locked. From my understanding it does not change it to yes by unlocking sim. I have only seen 2 people who said this method worked for them compared to the dozens that tried with no luck.
the only way to have your xperia rooted is through the unlocking BL and flashing rooted kernel or rooted system.img at this time. I suppose in the future there will be more options of doing it, so maybe that will solve your problem of locked BL.
i don't know if there is still the testpoint method for the xps.. but if yes you could try that .. should work afaik.. and if not then just wait for another root method

I have done already, two actually, the CE1 Generic and the NL Generic(because I heard of the speed).
Before I flash them I got from Antutu 6580
When I flashed the CE1 lower to 6520
And with the NL 6460 and now is 6634
But still some of the apps that came with the phone are still there, seems like the only way to get rid of them is only rooting.
I can't wait to get a way to do it.
By the way does anybody knows of a North America firmware for the LT26i, I can not find one. I live in El Salvador and I want my phone with a firmware for Latin America or the States, main reason is Google Voice another is that if I want to buy something from the Google Play the prices appears in Euros €.

I use unlocked phone, but I guess you can go to sonymobile.com and use sony bootloader unlock to get a code for unlocking your bootloader, although since u have a branded phone you may need a code from your career. when you got the code use fastboot to unlock it. other than these, if you just want root, flash your phone with flashtool to any rom you like. you dont need any bl unlocking for this and you still get the updates from sony. you dont even need any code from career or sony. since xperia S is new there might not be any prerooted rom so be patient and let the xda developers play around to find a way.
Hello, the code desimlockage operator does not allow unlocking

Antutu ratings fluctuate hugely on their own, test three times in a row and you probably wont get the same result each time.
Use Quadrant as your standard
I think you should wait for another way of rooting
when i check *#*# code7378423#*#*
in service menu
Bootloader unlock allowed no
what should i do???
i need to unlock my bootloader
please pelp
get an unlock code from your network provider, some people have said that once they removed the simlock its let them unlock the bootloader. if that doesnt work then theres not much you can do untill someone works out another way to unlock it
no fastboot mode.
Theres only one solution I know of, and it may be a crazy one....
Use search first, and read the other 500 threads created on this topic ;-)
Short answer: No, not able to be done yet.

If you want to unlock the boot loader, use the wotanserver.com
* In addition to sim unlock you get an unlocked bootloader.
However, it seems to me that at the moment, this service does not support SXS
Try to write the administration service.

What is a "rootable bootloader"?
For the Croatian members:
I've just called customer service of Vipnet( Vodafone) and they told me that there is no problem, you can unlock boot loader for only 480 HRK (~65€).
Well, if there's no free unlocking solution in few weeks I'll have to milk some cash. It's still better then locked for life.

Hi guys,
as title above suggests, after doing the *#*#7378423#*#* trick, my SXS says bootloader unlock is not allowed.
Is anyone aware of any exploits to make this possible. Yes I know ICS is coming out soon, but as I am on Orange UK they will hold it back until they have added all their bloatware, which I want shot of
Cheers for looking, and for helping
With any luck there will be a hardware method to unlock the bootloader on these like there was on the 2011 range. But currently I don't think anyone has figured it out yet. Certainly don't envy you waiting for Orange to roll out the update with all their junk installed.
There's no rooting method for GB nor for ICS as of now.
if you want ICS, use flashtool and flash any of the available firmwares to your phone (generic one), then you don't have to wait and you'll only get Sony's bloatware, some of them can be removed without rooting. If you flash the original images, you don't have to have root or unlocked bootloader, it works just fine.
Right...
I had the exact same issue as you...
The phone is from CPW so not a phone direct from orange but the Bootloader unlockable status was set to 'No'
I then flashed from GB .67 to .73 and it had somehow changed the bootloader status to 'Yes' and I was able to unlock it...
The phone was rooted the same day and now on ICS rooted too!

On Spain last may we bought lot of Xperia U from the same carrier, all of them with locked BL, somehow we managed to complain about it and the solution they gave us was first you need the phone with simlock removed, so you can use the phone with any company, after that the SAT from sony will get the phone for about a week, you have to send it, they take care of the fees and they unlock the bootloader.
Make sure your phone is simlock free, and try to contact sony about allow the BL
enable fastboot with jinx
go to phoneunlockserver.com and talk to jinx and he can sim unlock it and enable fastboot so you can unlock the bootloader with official way.
no test point need, just normal usb cable and pressing one button.
"It's Here
Ok, anyone wanting sim unlock for the newer xperia's
Xperia S etc etc it is here for a limited time and afraid to say expensive.
This also includes phones produced after 12w14"
"Cost
The cost for this is at the current moment is £35.00 GBP This will be going up soon I hear. The reason for this is it takes 10 credits for the process"
"Sim and Fastboot
This unlock is for sim unlock and fastboot enabled. Customers can then unlock the bootloader the official way.
I do not know how long this will be up for and it is up between 8am - 8pm GMT+8 time zone"
I'm just waiting for ics to come out for my Xperia U and then i think i'm gonna do it with jinx.
it is right
Anyone has already test this methode?

Yes but when we contacted the SAT from Sony to remove the "unlock bootloader not allowed" from Xperia U/S they told us that we need to send the phone with simlock unlocked, they had no way to check if the phone have some permanence with the carrier beside simlock unlocked.

Yup, I kinda assumed you didn't read stuff, but guess you did.
So, it's branded by your provider/carrier? Otherwise it should be no problem.
Also same problem...
Bought mine from Vodafone Portugal and it says unlocking not allowed...
Let's pray for an answer...
i think it is alejandrissimo

mhh, that's an interesting option (no loss of DRM etc)
Let us know if he can fix it too for the Xperia U, would be good to know as I'm close to releasing a App for the U only that requires root
and a clean unlock/root could be more attractive to people
will ask him that now
edit: not for the xperia 2012 devices yet...

Same as me i got one from vodafone pt and not is bootloader blocked
Um portugues por aqui xD
Sent from my ST25i using xda app-developers app
i got my Xperia Acro HD (previously network locked to Docomo, "bootloader unlock allowed = no") unlocked using ezSEMC tool.
after the unlock process (via USB cable, an old reliable Win7 laptop, and a working 2mbps internet connection), the phone is now network unlocked and "bootloader unlock allowed = yes".
payment was around 50US$ via Paypal, (unlock cost for your device should be less) the unlock process was quick and painless.
this is not an advertisement for the product(although it does sound like an endorsement BS) but just letting you know of an alternative that is proven to work and deliver.

What so difficult for you to understand.... Its possible to unlock a branded phone via S1 using testpoint. Sooo shhhhhhhh boy!
I have a Xperia U that says bootloader allowed no. Is there a way to unlock the bootloader?
I think only Sony Mobile can help us
We should never buy a phone from the carrier network again.
There is no way,end of story.
There is a way. You must contact your carrier and ask them to do it. They will tell you where to send your phone in order to unlock your boot loader. For example, here in Portugal, Datafax is able to change your boot loader status to "allowed= yes"
