Good Morning
I bought a Sony Tablet S and I am looking for unlocking the bootloader. Is there any method or it isn't possible yet? Do you think that in the future itcould be done? I really hope it does.
Sorry for any mistake.
Good afternoon,
No, there is no method and so it is not possible yet. As we cannot forecast the future we cannot tell you if it can be done one day. But I would not have to much hope as there seem to be no developers on board. So we would be dependent from Sony, if they could give us a way to unlock. Maybe you could write Sony an Email and ask

Goodmorning,
I asked Sony to unlock table's bootloader and they told me that they could help me only if I was a Developer. So I hope that some developer could ask sony to unlock it in order to make some cyogenmod rom or aosp rom

As the title say's I'm creating this thread for all us carrier locked Xperia S owners to subscribe too. this way we can subscribe to this thread and keep it updated on the latest news of root or unlocking the boot-loader.
YOU CAN'T ROOT LOCKED BOOTLOADERS
I will post new info when I hear something new. Feel free to add news as well. Lets just keep the comments about the topic. No need to fill it with junk that doesn't belong here.
Maybe true maybe not. Silly tech support, they don't have clue. Should have known better.
I talked with sony today and they assured me my rogers branded phone will be getting ICS and the updates will be around may 18th. I kept telling them if my phone is branded to rogers it can't happen as rogers needs time to add their apps and stuff. again sony said they are doing it different with the xperia s and all phones will be getting ics at the same time. may 18th.
so i don't believe them but maybe if more people call we can get a better idea when it's coming.
If you call and hear something different please share in the thread.
Now can someone stick this please? And maybe write YOU CAN'T ROOT LOCKED BOOTLOADERS in big red letters in the OP.

Don't you think that will change in the future?
That's what the thread is for, news about unlocking un-unlockable bootloaders or rooting without it.
I needed this thread XD Thank you mate, Im subscribed now to know inmediatly when I will be able to root my phone!
however it is a bit annoying If this thread is filled with useless posts, just as my one at this moment. there isnt any way to subscribe only to editions in the first message?
I just thought I would shed a little ray of hope here
Apparently there is a way to root with locked bootloaders for official ICS on the Arc S, Ray and Neo V
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1600728
So maybe when we get ICS we can root without unlocking the bootloader
Yeah, the problem is when we will get ICS....we want root now! xD
Got phone from Orange, locked to Orange. Locked bootloader.
Asked for unlock key, threatened to leave.
Received unlock key. Phone unlocked. Surprise - Bootloader unlockable after restart *yipee*
Left Orange for good.
Ok I just had a thought and would like your feedback.
I have my xperia sim unlocked.
what im thinking is putting in my none rogers sim,(my other sim is smart, go Philippines).
then updating my phone with sony software and when it say's i have the latest and ask if i want to repair it. select yes and maybe it will the n download another version of the software because it knows the phone is sim unlocked.
what yeah think? would that be even possible to have the software change the ability to have the phone say yes to unlock boot loader.
Not a chance!!!
The bootloader is as it says
"a bootloader"
That means it is a seperate part of the operating system.
When you update/repair your normal running rom/operating system that is the ONLY part that gets updated/repaired.
Your bootloader is never touched

I managed to purposely get into qhsusb_dload, any way dump the contents of whatever I can?
Device manager now displays it as SEMC Flash Device.

Cool, what does it mean for us looked down users?
Replied from my little computer, Xperia S.
Not much, since I have no idea what to do with it... it's basically that I found the "test point" pin, and that it still behaves in the same way as it does the the 2011 locked Sony phones.
However, that's the simple part, now we need to wait for the unlock tokens to become available or however the old way worked on the old phones.
UPD: no, it looks like the permissions are correct on stock rom, so it won't work.

There's the new exploit thing for the HTC One X, it might work on the XPS too, at least I couldn't find the reason it wouldn't. However my device is unlocked so I can't test it without relocking. It should be safe though. Anyone who wants to test is welcome to #xperia_s_root_test @ irc.esper.net

Could I politely suggest that you have a browse through the forum, there are many references to the "unlock bootloader" issue. have a read - very educational I found.
sure. only thing I've known is that sony has somehow locked the bootloader and nobody knows how to get into fastboot. but what do these terms mean?

IF you don't know what those terms mean then why are you complaining that someone hasn't done the work that you yourself can't do????
TLR summary
- sony have locked this thing down super tight. If you want to know more, read up.
- this device has a small install base
- small number of users = even smaller number of devs to throw at a very difficult problem (compared to say samsung or even HTC or motorola devices)
hence.....
If you want the technical reasons for why the bootloader is locked, you need to really read up and understand everything about bootloaders. They are very complex, and very device-specific and therefore very difficult to unlock when a manufacturer specifically protects them. I don't think we even have a proper partition dump for the Tablet, so it will be quite some time before we see any development in that.
It's worth elaborating that there is no magical unlock() function built in to the bootloader. They are complex, they are poorly documented (outside of Sony) and they are not made to be unlocked by users. In the past, I've found Samsung's slightly easier to work with at this level, but they're still fiendishly difficult.
You only have to check out the code used in ASUS's bootloader unlocking tool they released a while ago to see how complex this can be without manufacturer support.
Hi Guys,
Based on our need to unlock all LG G5 variants, I have tried a new approach by writing to them directly @ https://www.lg.com/eg_en/support/contact/chat-email/email
Could you please try to do the same guys? It might work, guys.
Here is a copy from what I sent.
Hi Team,
Hope you are doing fine.
I have the amazing LG G5 "H860" and I am really enjoying such an experience with the mobile. Still, I would like to have the taste of trying some other mods but the locked bootloader preventing me as well as many other people from doing the same. I understand the risk and I really want to have it done. I already passed the warranty and I have nothing to lose at this point.
However, there is some current petitions in some third-party forums and websites but looks it never reaches LG. Therefore, I take this step and write to you. Could you please take in consideration unlocking the bootloader in the next update at least for this model H860?
Thanks a lot for your kind help and support.
Best regards,
Ahmad

Update: I have had a call from LG Egypt representative regarding this mail. He told that he will escalate the issue to LG Korea to check the availability to include unlocked bootloader in the next update but this requires around 4-6 months based on LG update cycle schedules for LG G5. Guys, please try on your own country website and give some feedback.
I was actually thinking to give a call and raise a ticket. I'll let you know once I do that.
Worth a try for my Sprint version too.
Hi Team,

Hi guys,
I also sent email to LG about it.
You can find LG site for your country here http://www.lg.com/common/index.jsp
Thank you guys, keep it up. I believe this will work better than posting in their forum or petitions.

thanks a lot now i have clearer ideas.
but is there no way to get root permissions?
sorry but I'm a stubborn Genoese and I want to be able to remove the personalization that gives me vodafone and to do this you need these roots.
I want to clarify that I am not talking about the vodafone brand, so the logo when I turn on etc. but the line that appears above the firmware code VDF.it etc.
Good luck if you find someone let me know lol I have been searching also with no luck lol

hello I wanted to tell you that I tried to call the huawei italia service center directly, who told me that they cannot directly provide the unlock code from their website and try to go to a service center in my city and try to see if they they can give it to me. Do you think it is feasible or stupid?
First I want to say hello to this community. I am new here, one friend recommend this place and I get absorb with all the information that I found here.
I will do my presentation post later today
For the moment I have on my belongs a phone that have a google account on it. I tried some stuff that I found online in order to remove the lock but of course no results at all.
I wondering if you have any software or method to remove this. Or for the moment is not possible?
Thank you so much in advance.
Regards,
Alexgeek
Sorry mate, I'm guessing there is a language issue here. It sounds like something is locked you didn't say what.
You will need to be specific if you want help.
