Has anyone got info on how to unlock the xperia u??
I am new to the whole unlock/root thing but very interested in it!! I have purchased an xperia u direct from the carrier so im not sure if that limits what I can do with it.
Maybe someone on here could give advice/direction on unlocking and if branded phones have limits?? (I realise it may have been dumb to buy a branded phone).
Thanks on advance..

I know Sony Ericsson has locked their bootloader and that it's a major pain in the rear to crack, but how far have we come with cracking it?
Nowhere by the looks of things...
I think there is somebody doing it but I cant read russian.
Sorry didnt save the link
I saw that the (im)famous Geohot has set his sights on cracking the Xperia Play bootloader. Pretty sure that will spill over into our world.
He is practicing with an x10 he bought
Sorry being a noob, what is a bootloader and what does it do if its cracked?

Bootloader cracked means ability to upload custom kernels to our phones and so not being forced to sony stock one in other words more freedom and simplicity to create custom roms ..
t9ed from my stupid 2.1 X10i
Ah I see now. Thanks for the quick reply

Hi!
I've already search in other phone but i don't found any clear answer, but i'm sorry if the question is already posted in this forum !
If it say "unlock bootloader allowed : no" in service info, with the xperia s phone , is there any solution to "unblock" the bootloader for future unlock?
Thanks
I wanna know the answer too, i know i cant, but i dont know if there is a paid mathod.

I'd also love to know this too, what are the tech reasons why we can't? X10 got unlocked even with SE not allowing it...
Up
Please if some is more experiment than us please help us for a simply answers
I think we have to wait for any brilliant mind to come out with an exploit...I don't think we will see any solution at least until ICS is out in the end of June...
Anyway...I really would like to be wrong so if someone knows how pliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis tell us!
hi
I found something interesting on htcmania (unfortunately Spanish) but I'm not able to post outside links. There is Tutorial how to resolve our problem. Maybe I could send this link to someone as private message and this person share this link for everyone?

That method requires sending the phone to SONY for bootloader unlocking for any country or carrier, the only requirement is to haVe the phone Simunlocked. But it works.

I am in the same boat. There is a Sony s1 signature server which you can use remotely using ezSemc. You need to buy credits from a company (www.microunlocker.com is one). You need to ask for a full CSCA certificate unlock. Trouble is, server is offline at the mo, no one knows when it's back on.
If you search s1 signature server status using Google you'll find more info about when the server may be back online.
Just a waiting game at the mo.
Cheers,
Lunar.

You need to wait for the Sony s1 signature server to be back online. Many other posts about this already. Search in Google.

It's the server companies use to unlock Sony phones remotely. We need to do a full csca certificate unlock to change the status to yes. It's a paid service though where you need to buy credits. There's lots of info on Google about the server being down, some rumours it may not come back online. Just have to keep searching until there's some news to the contrary.

Is there yet a way around this? Or have I simply wasted all my time and money on this phone? Xperia lt30at Bootloader unlock allowed: no
Hi,
I'm selling an almost new Sony Ericcson Xperia Mini Pro (sk17i). I bought it in September and am now changing phones. I bought the phone for 150 Euro, but gonna sell it for 100 Euro. The bootloader is unlocked and the phone is running RealICS6. I can flash any rom beforehand if you wish. The phone itself is in good condition (As it should be after two months of use). If you're in Germany there will still be warranty on it - bought it at Media Markt.
Hope I'll find somebody,

Did not meant to disturb the forum. i just thought, that since the bootloader is unlocked, xda might be the place to sell. People here will understand what it means.
Otherwise I'll delete the thread,

Ya for that you need to post it in the xda marketplace and not in a device specific forum. Read the forum rules please.

I would have but the thing is uploading is really a pain in the ass.
Second thing there will always be noobs complaining or asking silly questions and I got a really bad temper.
Most of all I haven't developed a ROM so I just don't feel like it.
Sent from my MT11i using xda app-developers app
Point taken and agreed!
However you could always make a mod containing what all tweaks or scripts you added and upload it ! ! !
Considering Rom would be too big and it wouldn't give you a pain in your ass for updating and stuffs!
Just my 2 cents!
