I keep searching and asking for jb rom on locked mini pro, but what I see we have several jb rom but only for unlocked bootloader..I hope our dev will consider to release a jb for locked bootloader mini pro..I really want to taste jelly bean and feel the 'project butter', I know some of you will said just unlocked the bootloader but I cannot, cause my fastboot is disable and I do not have access to pay to enable it..

As far as I know there's no jelly bean rom for locked bootloader at the moment
But they said they are working on. You can only keep waiting!
Btw why can't you unlock bootloader? Service Menu bootloader unlock:no or branded rom?

I think this one seems complicated, but if you'll focus and read carefully, it'll turn out to be more friendly than on the beginning http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730874

3. Go to Service Info... Configuration... And see whats there in Rooting Status. If it reads like:
Code:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Rooting Status:
Bootloader unlock Status: No
so it turns out you can't unlock it by any method.
There won't be any JB ROM for locked bootloaders because Sony hasn't (and won't) release an official JB upgrade.
ROMs marked as "for locked bootloader" are always based on official releases (this includes Ice Cream Pureness).
Your phone seems to be carrier-locked, and unlocking that thing will cost you.

I just read on the Sony Developer site that the ICS update will not be available for those with an unlocked bootlader WTF ?
"Also, if you unlock the boot loader, you will not be able to download and install the final Ice Cream Sandwich software upgrade for Xperia™ phones."
Just look for the article "ICS beta ROM now available for unlocked Xperia™ PLAY smartphones" .. it's about 3/4 down the page :?(
Good thing I unlocked via Testpoint method...
I think it could be possible that SEUS or PC Companion are checking IMEI, if the phone was unlocked via Sony...
simple relock won't do it I guess :/
But don't worry, a few days after our devs will come up with a flashable generic and prerooted rom

That is because DRM keys are lost, which are needed to use PC Companion and Update Service to update phone firmware.
It is not sure, if relocking will do the deal or not, as least not before it is released.
Relocking with Flashtool will definitely work & also if yhu unlock BL via Testpoint Method den yhu can update via SEUS, PCC!
Dude, didn't you read when unlocking bootloader? its written in big red fonts on bootloader unlock page that you will not get further updates after unlocking.
Officially, the bootloader can only be unlocked, that's why the warning with red letters.
Unofficially, it is possible to relock the bootloader and after that it's possible to update software again. I tested it multiple times.
The only thing You loose permanently is the DRM. Cheers!

Hi i am new to xperia world. i have tried to install this rom <http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640390>
I followed all the instructions. after flashing it stuck om sony boot screen logo.
before i was on 4.0.3 ...562 firmware . it didn't boot forever so i used pc companian to repair software and i was successful to repair software. after then i received OTA UPDATE and i did accept the update now my phone is running on 4.0.4 ....431 firmware and i have rooted my handset too and not installed CWM RECOVERY
MY quest is after 4.0.4 can i still update this ROM on my phone <http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640390>
I think, you have locked boot loader & stock kernel ?
and that rom required unlocked boot loader & V3 kernel !

i have just bought new phone don't want to loose warranty as early as possible may be later i may dare to unlock it
i love developers who makes world look better place.. i am frequent visitor of xda from my first windows mobile since 3-4years ..
but i had very bad experience with z71 android handset which gave me lot of pain but i made full use of warranty period because there was no unlocking ..! just flashing lots of custom roms ..
but xperia is different i think i have to gain more confidence to start flashing.. because there will be no warranty once unlocked...
When you feel confident, you can Unlock you device by any method you prefer, follow the guide by following link,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409269
P.S, using official method to unlock the boot loader, you will void your warranty, but using XDA method you will have option to relock the boot loader again
Hope, this will help

you're welcome,
that means you are qualify to unlock your boot loader,
its not Pre-Unlocked !
if it shows No, that means you cannot unlock boot loader due to Manufacturer restrictions.

my phone is already rooted can i oerclock by setcpu without unlocking or do sommething etc
I think, overclocking need other then stock Kernel, check Kernels thread, which suit your overclocking need.
I wouls like to install ICS or JB on my Photon.
However, it is 2.3.5 locked BL.
Any version that works with that ?
Thanks
It can't happen. With a locked bootloader you can only use the stock kernel.
why ? My friend have a DROID 3 running ICS

until an unlocked bootloader is leaked from motorola or someone can find a work around. you will never be able to flash anything other than a stock rom. i think everyone has given up on unlocking the bootloader. the electrify has had a locked bootloader for a year and still nothing. so don't expect anything soon if ever. sorry. :crying:

Also interested in knowing this since If you unlock bootloader you can't undo it and your warranty is basically gone forever?
So even if it's now possible to unlock the bootloader it's still not a very customer friendly version like it is on most other android phones? Didn't HTC get a lot of grief for basically the same thing and it ended with them making it possible and if I don't remember wrongly here they even provided a tool themselves so you could do it "legally"? Had a Wildfire before but it's been a while so I can be remembering this wrong. Isn't android supposed to be open source, seems kind of wrong to then use hardware locks that prevent you from actually modifying the software. But I guess that's a completely other discussion.
i had a wildfire s too. i was able to re-lock bootloader it was great. now i unlocked the L9. thought that icould revert it back. and if something happens, no warranty great

Cool Cool. Great.
But I still think unlocking opens new horizons for flawless use of custom rooms, recoveries, kernel experiments , etc. There is a thread saying Relocking is possible. Then why not unlock now?

You have to unlock your bootloader to flash a custom rom. Sony makes unlocking your bootloader easy: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
Man you unlock bootloader you can Lock bootloader. It's so easy and so simple. What's wrong with the people
I lock/unlocked my bootloader I think around 16 times !! Aaaand what ? You don't like it custom lock your device back and flash stock.
