Hi,
I have a WT19i with Three UK.. *yada yada*
I got this phone because I wanted something new that looks good and works well, Since February and now I have discovered - I don't like the UI and I can't stand the screen.
Basically all I'm looking to do is unlock my bootloader so I can flash MIUI or CM9 but apparently, Three aren't going to let me unlock it. I checked in the service menu and it shows that the bootloader unlock is not allowed which really sucks.
I was going to do the testpoint method or official but after reading up, testpoint on a phone with 'Bootloader unlock allowed: No' can brick it..
Does anyone know if this is true? I'm seriously considering trying it anyway with S1 boot of whatever.. I can't stand this stupid software and UI anymore.
Thanks!
You need to use paid method to unlock your phone and enable fastboot. After that can bootloader be unlocked.

@Someguyfromhell You mean network unlock? I paid for my phone to be unlocked by Three last Saturday but they still don't have the key yet They said hopefully this Saturday
After that should I be able to unlock the bootloader?

Thanks! Didn't understand if it would or not
Do you know what I need to install once the bootloader is unlocked to install MIUI/CM9? Thanks in advance!

Incorrect if done with code at the operator.
Only WotanServer, Omnius and these providers unlock both(at once I think, not sure).
To install custom ROM, install the custom kernel provided with the ROM, enter recovery and install the ROM.
Kernel installation is included in my tutorial, link in signature.

So will I have to unlock my bootloader some other way?
Installing kernels is just using the boot.img in the roms .zip through fastboot isn't it? Done it before on my old GT540 many times What command is it on the LWW?
I used to use flash boot boot.img?
Thanks

Yes, but if you had network lock you might have to enable fastboot also. Check it from service menu. Then you can unlock bootloader. Also in my tutorial.
Command ia "fastboot flash boot boot.img".

Hey!
I just got my unlock code! But my phone still says 'Bootloader Unlock Allowed:NO'
I might just do it through Omnius now.. Going to assemble a safety pin and wire!
Will tell you how it goes.
Nope.. Omnius won't work for me
Does anyone have any other idea to activate fastboot? Could I flash another stock generic rom?

ROM has nothing to do with fastboot.
Omnius did not work? What do you mean it didn't work?

Yeah I know that... But the Kernel does, And flashing another stock .62 or whatever should work?!
Omnius wouldn't detect the phone, It wouldn't go into testpoint mode

Yeah! haha.
I just tried it with a different wire, and it appears to have worked with S1boot?
I can't tell, It should be unlocked if the version is r and not R?
My version from Omnius identify is r9A021
Is there any other way I can tell?
Anyone know how to enable Fastboot?!

My Xperia S is unlocked bootloader, using [email protected] rom with ICS15 kernel with CWM recovery. If I want to re-lock bootloader what steps needed to flash stock ICS rom. I mean, do I flash stock rom first and than re-lock BL or otherwise. I am asking this because the rom I am using is for unlocked BL therefore when I re-lock the BL there will be conflict which will force the phone to stop working. The kernel I am using will work with stock rom? If someone guide me how to start the process with step-by-step guide. Thanks

Hi monivan. Sorry for my ignorance. The kernel I am using (ICS15) is not stock? If no, from where I get stock kernel and how do I flash it. CWM or Flashtool.
if you have a ftf for stock ics, extract the ftf using winrar or 7zip then look for kernel.sin, flash it via fastboot, or you can flash via flashtool, uncheck everything except kernel.
Hi there
I have BL unlock statue allowed:Yes
and I want to unlock my bootloader with some tool other than the one in the official Sony thread, because it requires the download of the Android SDK which is a large file and my net speed sucks, can I use flashtool to do so, is there any tutorial? please reply
Yes you can use flash tool I have a r800x I got my unlock code from Sony made sure I had the latest version of flash tool and driver installed open flash tool go to plug in boot loader unlock boot loader follow the prompt on flash tool type in your unlock code it should unlock the bootloader for you
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
flashtool says that my BL is already unlocked
is it possible to enter fastboot mode if you bl is locked?
because i can enter fastboot mode and the LED turns blue
is my BL really unlocked?
Only way to test is to try to flash a kernal using flashtool and use tje lightning symbol instead of flashmode use fastboot select the kernal you downloaded if ur unlocked it will tell you the flash was successful if your not unlocked it well tell u error in red lettereing and the reason for the error

All i want now is to install cm7.2, im on official 2.3.4 and im unable to root through both flashtool and zergRush method i have a problem rooting it, because sony issued a patch and the exploit no longer works. What to do now to root and install cwm.
im afraid to flash a kernel because it things go wrong i'll turn my fully functional phone into a paperweight (already failed on flashing a kernel on my xperia x8 and its now a dead phone)
Flashtool wont let u flash a kernal if your bootloader is locked as for the rooting part that I cant help with sorry as I say i have a r800x and for us to root we have to flash down to 2.3.3 root using superoneclick then fota to 2.3.4 if we wanted but if ur bootloader is unlocked DO NOT UPDATE from your carrier your phine will brick and flash tiol is your best friend you should br able just to reflash the stock furmware for any if your phones to brung them back to life

I heard that there is some kernels that are pre-rooted, is that true
Yes most kernals come pre rooted with cwm lupus, doom kernal free Xperia r the three kernals I run the most I currently have lupus v8 720 kernal running paranoid Android

I have this kernel installed 2.6.32.9-perf, does it mean I have an Unlocked Bootloader ?
What is the best bootloader for CM7.2 and that supports overclocking and whats the best method to flash it ?
Please reply quick Im eager to give it a shot I hate this stock FW
What's the name if the kernal it should say in your phone status like doomkernal 2.6.32.69 v14
That us a custom kernal you have installed mine reads 2.6.32.9- lupus v8 720

I just flashed Doomlord kernel through flashtool and entered CWM full wipe and installed official CM7.2 and Gapps and it keeps rebooting and it doesnt show anything other than doomlord kernel's animation
I think that Doomlord's kernel does not support CM7.2 but it only supports Sony based firmwares. if so, which kernel is best suited for CM7.2 and has overclocking ?
What's the roms firmware ur trying to flash? Ice cream sandwich gingerbread or jellybean?
Most if doom lords kernel are gingerbread based I'm not sure about overclocking tho I don't do it

Most custom rooms if they are for a unlocked boot loader will provide a kernal with the zip or one to download to use with their roms

I just wanted to root my phone and i read the following quote from user pleomaxell!
You can easily root your Sola in Flashtool now.
Just fastboot the .10 Kernel then use Flashtool to Root your Sola and then fastboot the .54 kernel and you are done.

dude you dont need to unlock your bootloader to make the tutorial work..i've done it twice on my girlfriend's device and thrice on my old sola and i never had any hiccups..
flash the kernel in flashmode,not fastboot mode
You only need to unlock the BL if you want to flash certain customs roms like Cyanogenmod , for rooting (and installing most custom roms) you need to boot in flashmode (not fast boot), and flash the kernel in that mode.
So
flash old kernel in flashmode
root
flash .54 in flash mode, again.
i take it u didn't read the part where it says u will lose all content and tried to be a smart aleck and went straight for the Continue button eh? have fun
