I guess as the camera is diff, the libs will cause issues. Will not suggest to take risk.
All the old root methods are not working, looks like all old exploits are closed in 2.3.4. Looking for an exploit to root. Lets see. If anyone already rooted Neo v, please share.
I totally agree that it is a risk and I would not do it because I understand very little about the subject android.
but it is only a guess.
The issue is very large libraries because I do not understand

Lol all I got to do now is unlock the boatloader as mine I can't unlock from what is says on the Sony Ericsson dev site. Mine phone is on T-Mobile any one got any ideas
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
if you are on t-mobile then your bootloader & fastboot will be locked by your carrier...
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* , then goto service info > configuration . At the bottom you should see this
Bootloader unlock allowed :YES or NO , IF YES UNLOCKING SUPPORTED IF NO UNLOCKING IS NOT SUPPORTED
If it says NO then you have to buy 5 credits to use a full SETOOL to unlock your bootloader & you fastboot(if it is locked too)
@vimjam : The link Unofficial Unlocking Method 2 does not work.
Can you please update the same ?
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

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

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.

How do I relock my Xperia Mini Pro? I unlocked it through the official way on the Sony Website and wanting to relock it now. I reflashed my phone to stock ROM with stock KERNEL and want to lock the bootloader. I downloaded Flashtool and now I don't know what to do. Should I use Flashtool or S1tool? Please help, thanks
Plus, Flashtool is not recognizing any drivers I have installed, I installed my phone's driver using Gordan Gate's which I got from WontanServer. Will I have to install the drivers manually?
If you used official method, you will need this file, attached to my post, inside the .rar file, and Flashtool. Just place the .ftf file in Flashtool/firmwares folder, then open Flashtool, flashmode and pick the relock_bootloader.ftf file. Make sure your phone is in Flashmode also.
About drivers...I cannot remember, which drivers did I install...
Thanks, a lot, I have finally relocked the bootloader. But just to make sure, how can I check If my bootloader is locked or unlocked? Thanks

Dial *#*#7378423#*#* service info>cofiguration.If it says bootloader unlocked allowed : yes then it's locked, if bootloader unlocked : yes then it's unlocked.
One qeustion by my side: After relocking the bootloader, is it posiible when you send it to the servis to be detected that the bootloader has been unlocked (or maybe that the device has been rooted) previously? I have relocked the bootloader and done repair with Pc companion so everything is like before well.....except that before i did a root with flashtool and didn't knew that the stock firmware isn't rootable like that and i lost 3G!!!!!!...now i must set to 2g in order to get signal coz i get with 3g weak signal and when i make a call it drops off. That's why i want to send it to the service

I knew that your post had nothing to do with relocking patrida If you unlocked your phone with sony's official method you loose your DRM even if you relock it.Now, about the service, i highly doubt they gonna search if you unlocked it but i can't swear about that.There is also another method unlocking your phone without loosing DRM but didn't tried it and i don't know if they can detect it or not

Now i get it.. you loose your DRM the exact time you ask them to provide you unlock code!
So,no matter what you do afterwards they allready know which device is unlocked and which is not.. sosta thessalonikie mou??
My phone is unlocked with the "other" method and let's hope that i'll never have to take it to them and wonder if they detect it or not!!!
My phone now is locked and to check if your bootloader is locked or not, download S1tool. Open S1tool and click "Identify" and then follow the onscreen instructions. When your phone's information comes up it will say "R(some numbers and letters)". If you have a capital R means your bootloader is locked, if you have a small r means your bootloader is unlocked.

You lose DRM, if you unlock via fastboot using official method. When DRM is gone, it is completely gone, currently there is no way of getting it back.

Hi everybody
I have installed real ics some time ago, and i found the experience much more complete than with custom
rom...
now i would like to make another step... so i shoul lock my bootloader first...
i read that there are two ways... test point and official sony...
with official sony you lose DRM...but i read also that the only problem tht this lost caused (track id doesn't work) doesn't exist anymore as latest version of track id works even without drm... so are there other problems if we lose drm?
because i think official unlocking is much easier isn't it? so why a person should choose the test point method?
latest answer: i found real ics is amazing rom... but, after unlocking bootloader (if i will succeed to), which kernel should i choose? i would like something safe, stable and fast... and if possible with good battery performance...
thx everybody for answer
hope i did not disturb with this post if repetitive... but i wanted someone to answer me directly, and even if i found good informations in this forum, i did not manage to decide what to do...
bb
i prefer test point method cos with it one wont lose drm keys & wont void warranty.... after bootloader unlock using testpoint, t will still show Allow bootloader unlock:yes but Official way will void warranty.
Indeed, test point method! No regret!
I would also recommend test point method as you dont lose drm keys, I did it with test point method myself because I didnt have a choice, anyways I didnt need drm keys, but some ppl do, so in that case better go with the safe side, the test point even tho it can be a little difficult
When I bought Mini Pro den, I use Test point & no issue but along tha line my screen break & took it to care center but I was told it can't be repaired & was given another one cos its still under warranty... But tha new one I was given can't be unloocked using Test point cos its having latest security so I used tha Official way but was happy though!
When you do the testpoint method, you have to remove the sticker under the battery to get to the actual testpoints.
So you have to do that very carefully, because if they notice you've been removing it, warranty is lost.
oh so many answers :laugh:
but all of you suggested me the same thing... so i think it's really best choice... i think however i won't need drm... but anyway you suggest me to use testpoint method, finally, not for drm but for warranty isn't it? and is it sure that if i use in right way test point they won't notice i've unlocked the bootloader (so i will still have the warranty)? beause i heared that in england they did not repair some xperia arc because they noticed the users had unlocked the bootloader....
so finally ya suggest me to use that method?
and for the kernel, which one would you suggest (stable, fast above all for telephone use and media, good battery...)
i want to thank all of you however... really ya give me all these answers that i did not expect to... thx a lot for helping me!
bb!
edit: ah sry whalesplaho talked about latest security... so how can i know if i can unlock it or not in safe way?
thx again!
My SK17i testpoint wasn't covered under the sticker. I unlocked using testpoint because of the warranty. I am not sure if they can detect this or not, but its lesser then two evils I guess. If you unlock the BL by Sony method they will have your IMEI in their system as unlocked so no way you can get lucky and keep your warranty. Even if the phone doesn't turn on completely, they know it has been unlocked.

I didn't say he shouldn't try it. I just think it's better to have all the info before doing something.
So if it doesn't work, he'll know why
The post says "Tere is no harm in trying. You can try, if you have new security, nothing will go wrong, you will just get error."

Okay brov..... Am with yhu & I believe others too!!!!
test point doesnt work on latest releases of xperia mini/mini pro/active. If you have 12w17 on the back of your phone, then testpoint won't work. That's what others have said in the test point thread. I only used SE bootloader unlocking and its easy but you lose your DRM.

Yes, lots of threads have been made on this topic...You can use wotanserver, omnius or just break your simlock in many local shops then unlock it.
Hope I helped..

Just getting rid of simlock will not help. Fastboot still needs to be enabled, can only be done via paid testpoint method.
yes my ray was =no and unlocked via paid methored wotan server it was 13 euros

Is it true that the new 2011 xperia devices can't be unlocked via testpoint method?

Yes, they can be unlocked. Actually it is the only way to remove SIM-lock (and unlock bootloader at the same time), if I am not mistaken.
