thanks for your replying
are you sure my problem and his problem is the same ?
do you think it cost to accept its risk and pay for it and are you sure it will repair after that?
please help me
You didn't fully read.
First try restore option in s1tool, that worked when I did it.
Xunlock is a disgrace, it's trying to bully you into paying them, this is the exact thing that happened to me. S1tool fixed it for me
If it doesn't try the trim area fix
Final option is paying to unlock
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
I tried to repair it with s1tool restore before but it didn't repaired
is there any free way to repair it except s1tool ?
this picture is about this http://img4up.com/up2/39240099411084687672.png
Seems you have nothing to restore?
In the s1tool I had there was s file to restore?
As above try trim area repair, but if not you may need to pay unless you can find a back up of a bootloader. I don't have mine to upload, I used a borrowed pc to do it.

how can i find a backup for it ?
i cann't understand what the "trim area repair" means, please guide me more
Try the s1tool from this thread first

Next try this followed by reflashing firmware

No you now have to unlock to remove the damaged simlock or you could try claiming warranty

My bootloader unlock allowed=no can i unlock it yet ?
i shearched for this in different sites and they said i have to pay for unlock it and i have to use setool2 , is it true ?
Yes, the first reply gave you all this info.

I read it completely, and it is about paying unlock bootloader and nothing was said about free unlock, are you talking about non-free unlock ?
There is no free unlock if sim is locked, never has been.....
Big difference in sin and boot loader unlock

Yes i know you told me earlier in a pm,
but does anyone now how you unlock network with setool?
x10 stand not in the list, only very old phones.
actually no. you dont have to unlock your phone carrier. i unlocked my bootloader without unlocking the phone carrier. there is a tool to check if you are eligible for unlocking your bootloader
You do NOT need to use setool to unlock your carrier before unlocking bootloader!
I was sim locked to vodafone (And never used setool) and I have unlocked my bootloader by following the steps posted in this thread with the kernel upgrade/downgrade method.
If you have never unlocked the sim then you can use the tool posted the_laser to unlock the bootloader.
Ok thanks mates

Hmm well i did that to update my phone via update service and it worked. But btw how do you know when ur phone is unlocked or not?
could you explain a little bit on how you unlock bootloader? if you use test point method just use s1 tool and click restore. but if use official way (sony website) then use flashtool with files names "xperia relock bootloder" or something i cant remember so far it managed to relock the bootloader.
I buy last month phone and unlock with official method before couple days. I have that file,flesh via fleshtool but when is done,on fleshtool writhe that -phone will reboot-,but nothing is happaned. I manualy turn on the phone and try to update via seus and then get error that phon isnt recognized
Sent from my ST15i using xda app-developers app
Relocking Bootloader is useless,it wont get your warranty back (Well you can get it back when using test point)
Official Method has your Phone IMEI stored on SONY database so when you go to service center they will check if your IMEI is already Unlocked or not

Hmmm...go to dialer and press *#*#7378423#*#* then go to service info/configuration....look at rooting status, it will show if you have unlock bootloader or not....that is the proof you need if you did relock it successfully or not.....

Hey,
First of all, google this --> "bootloader unlock - freexperia" with quotes (unfortunately, I can't post links yet).
If you've done it this way and still doesn't work, then I assume there's a problem with your USB drivers or fastboot (try reinstalling).
I want to unlock bootloader, but the risk is my warranty...
I wish wait to expired first
I dont think its driver probl cuz fastboot devices command works.

Well, my friend, I unlocked it on my second month and didn't have the need to use my warranty in any way till now (8+ months)
Of course, it's your choice, but I was fascinated by the fact I could run Jelly Bean on my Neo V thanks to Freexperia Team, and haven't looked back since then!
Then again, I can't tell you what is best for your needs but I can assure you, Sony's warranty (and most smartphone's dealers in general) covers very few issues that might happen in realistic scenarios.

Judging from this, I understand that you got the unlock key from Sony's official website and the last command (fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY) fails.
Wild Guess: Any typos? confused "o" with "0" maybe.
Sorry I can't be more helpful, but for me it was harder to flash a rom for the first time than unlocking the bootloader :-/
Geri .... ^^ this or
I would say try again!
Though I got it unlocked in first try !
Do you get any response like
0.3 version
When you type the fastboot command in cmd?

for the getvar version, i got 0.3 and "fastboot devices" also identified it. and there arent typos cuz i tried everything.
Sent from my MT15i using xda app-developers app
If you get that,things are fine I guess!
I am clueless on this, then!
I don't even know why're you facing this issue when I did the same steps and succeeded at one go!

Euhm, originally it was simlocked to orange uk... a cellshop unlocked it somehow... I think its bcuz this.

Seems you'll have to SIM unlock it via unofficial way!
Then try this or else go for s2tool!

Hey everyone
I need a quick phone to last me a few months till my upgrade and the Neo V seems like a good deal, brand new for £70.
Now I never buy an android phone unless the bootloader can be unlocked. I understand that phones made after 12w14 cannot be unlocked or something? If the phone is made after 12w14 is there really no way to unlock it? It will be sim locked and I know it's necessary to unlock it to allow fastboot.
Basically can phones made after 12w14 be sim and bootloader unlocked?
Thanks

If you buy your phone brand new from an 'open' store than your phone should be sim unlocked.
send from my mt11i with cm10 unofficially (TheDarkDefender build) on fusion kernel 4.5
If you want to know whether you can unlock your phone or not, here is an excerpt from Sony's forum.
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.

Thanks but the phone will almost certainly be locked to T-Mobile.
What I need to know is, if the manufacturing date is past 12w14 is there a way for me to sim unlock and then unlock the boot loader ?

Hey all,
So I've been searching through these forums trying to get my head around the problem of Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No on my L22i, but there's so many threads, and I'm seriously struggling to figure out my best plan of action, so please do forgive my ignorance!
I've checked and my phone is Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No. It seems that there's a lot of ideas tossed about, but no real solution given. All I'm trying to do is go from 4.0.4 to 4.1. It seems that it is possible to flash roms without bootloader being unlocked, but obviously I'd just prefer if bootloader was unlocked. I had CM on an old HTC of mine, and I'd even like the option of migrating to that in the future.
So what are my options? CWM Recovery to root my phone to unlock bootloader? Flash a rom that has bootloader unlocked? Something else?
Like I said, I've spent the last while looking though the site to see if I can get my head around what I can/cannot do, but it's all very confusing, so any help would be appreciated. (Beyond just telling me to search.)
Cheers.
Flashing rom will not change the status. Flashing custom kernel not recommended, it will brick it. Bootloader unlock is done via sony web page, you'll get a code which you'll insert into phone and thats it.
Page
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
Just read and maybe contact sony directly
And read this
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/127808
This will give you thr direction.
On short, this option is ussually operator request. If you obtain unlock code from operator toget the phone sim free then you might go to sony centre and ask staff for bootloader unlock.

After you gain unlock code from your operator, so your phone will be sim free, then you might go to sony centre and ask them to unlock your bootloader. Its operator whos asking this stuff to be done, but once your contract over, or you'll get the unlock code to make it sim free, then you can ask sony to unlock bootloader.

how much time do we have to wait to ask for the code from the operator?
here in Portugal i think that is 2 years in any operator, but i'm not sure
Tiil end of your contract or you can asl what you need to do whrn you want umlock.

but i don't have contract, i've been with this nunber almost for 15 years, but i bought my xperia u almost 2 years ago.
i better get info with the operator :good:
If i got an unlock code, not from the mobile phone company, but have it and the phone is sim unlocked already, if i send them that code they can still unlock the bootloader?
I have a Xperia U with bootloader allowed: no and SIM lock. Is there any solution to unlock the bootloader?
