I am getting really irritated of the amount of totally nonsense information out there, and no real or "official" way for unlocking bootloader for Xperia Go. Can someone please help me so I can unlock my bootloader? All I see are guides with massive walls of text, nothing official stated about Xperia Go. I don't want to screw my phone up by doing some mistake by myself -_- so can somebody PLEASE tell me how?
Hey,
Before I can help you, I need to know which build you are on.
The 3 common builds are
6.0.B.3.184
6.1.1.B.1.10
6.1.1.B.1.54
To check it, go to Settings>About Phone then scroll to the bottom and read the number then post it here.
Also, tell me what OS you are running, The fastboot drivers required to unlock it doesn't work in Windows 8 unless you enable test mode for windows 8.
Additional information on how to unlock the boot loader can be found on the Sony Developers page.
Note: If you want to root it, DO NOT flash the version 6.1.1.B.1.54. Because Sony patched the exploit.
Hi thank you for replying, I swear that I have searched information for HOURS and I learned that it is not easy to find for Xperia Go.. :S as it is for some more known models.
Here is the info
Model: ST27i
Software version: 6.0.B.3.184
I use Windows 7 on my PC, also I have downloaded Flash Tool 0.9.8.0 by Bin4ry & Androxyde (it shows 0.9.9.0 update is available, should I update it?)
Edit: unlocked myself already

HI GUYS GOOD DAY.
I WANT TO ASK ABOUT BOOTLOADER, IM REALLY REALLY NEWBIE HERE, I GOT XPERIA X10i, AND IT RUNNING BY GINGERBREAD 2.3.3. BASEBAND 2.1.71, BUILD NUMBER 3.0.1.G.0.75.
IT IS ROOTED ALREADY, BUT I CANT UNLOCKED THE BOOT LOADER, I CAN'T UNLOCKED IT. I WANT TO INSTALL CUSTOM KERNEL AND OTHER THINGS ON MY PHONE, I NEED YOUR HELP BOSS.
THANK YOU
GOD BLESS
What did you use to try unlocking the bootloader?
The latest flashtool is the best way to go. It is found here:
http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
You just need to make sure you meet these requirements:
kernel versions=2.6.29,2.6.29-00054-g5f01537
android versions=2.1,2.2,2.3
Rooted=true
compatible devices=X10,E10,E15,U20
Thanks for the reply sir, yes!
that is the information of my x10i.
I also downloaded the new flashtool.
If my x10i is rooted, its should have, SUPERUSER right?
i search on youtube, i found out that, there is a code, that you can find if the boot loader is locked or unlocked right?
but i dont see that lable.
thank you i hope you can help me thanks

Yes download root checker from play to check root. Also to check bootloader type *#*#SERVICE#*#* select service info then software info and look at s1 boot version it will begin with r. If its capital R its still locked, if it lowercase r then it successfully unlocked. Or try to flash doomkernel or unlocked bl and c if it flashed. S1tool also checks it I believe but never used it

Hi all,
This forum does not look so active as the one i came from (Xperia X10) so i'm forced to open this thread in hopes that more people will see it and be able to help me...
So the situation is very simple:
1. I am on newest ICS 6.1.1.B.1.54 - which apparently can not be rooted yet
2. My bootloader is locked and can not be unlocked (it says bootloader unlockable: NO (and i can not continue the process))
If there are no solutions currently for my situation then i would just like to ask:
3. Is there some way that i can get some options when i open the notification bar? like wifi/screen rotation etc. It is what i miss the most on this stock ICS rom.
MY IDEA for a solution to:
1. is it safe/possible to use flashtool and flash for example LT22i - 6.1.B.0.544 -Central Europe - ICS? Then root and install CWM and then custom rom for locked BL
2. i have no idea but apparently the official repair shop can change the NO to YES - if so, can i do it somehow myself?
3. no idea...
Any comment would be appreciated, even if nothing can be done, please someone who has knowledge about this...help

use notification toggles or powerful control to get toggles in notification bar....

flashtool i have used on X10 and found it very good, but i was not sure if it is OK to use it now on the XP while my BL is locked and i have no root, i don't want to create more problems for myself than i already have
i have tried binary's method and it says that it is successful but it does not work, there is a discussion about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020539&page=1

you can install older ICS, root and use a custom rom while you wait a fix to the new ICS :]
i don't think it will take too long for a fix ^^

3. You mean like this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015118
I flashed this and is working quite well. No problems so far.
Flashing is also safe with locked bootloader. I've been flashing like crazy since I rooted my phone 4 days ago.
Just do backups and follow instructions carefully.
Hi, :cyclops:
Here is the information about the current state of my Xperia P:
Phone Software version: 1254-4233_6.1.1.B.54
File System Version: WORLD_61.1.B.54
S1 Boot Version: 1240-4128 R10E010
ETS Software Version: 1255-3022_30
Customization Version: 1262-3681_R2G
Active Customization: 1262-3681_R2G
Content Version: PA8
Type Number: AAD-3880135-BV
This Xperia had its bootloader unlocked, it had a custom ROM (Telstra, Australian provider) but was flashed to the original Sony ROM following the instructions from the Sony official web page.
To what I found so far is that most of the updates for the Xperia P depend on the S1 Boot Version, but my brother has an Xperia P with the same S1 Boot Version as this one, the difference is that my brothers did not have a custom ROM (original unlock from factory), and my brother's did get the Jelly Bean.
Now, I'm wondering if the Xperia Ps that were flashed to Sony's official ROM do not get Jelly Bean? Is this correct?
Is there a way to get ROM from my brother´s Xperia P and flashed to my Xperia P?
Can anyone advice me what should I do to get my Xperia P running Jelly Bean?
Thanks for taking you time to read my post and special thanks to the ones that will reply to this post. It can be in Spanish or English, but I think Spanish can only be through private messaging.

i have an Xperia P too and i unlocked the bootloader myself.
Are u sure your that your phone came with an unlocked bootloader (you said from factory)?
AND: You dont mix up SIM-Lock and Bootloader Lock?
I ask because usually u get a phone with the ABILITY to unlock your bootloader yourself, which voids your guarantee.
I have never heard of a xperia P that came with an unlocked bootloader tbh. You HAVE to do it yourself.
Also i have never heard or sth called "S1 Boot Version"... Whats that?
Either you can unlock your bootloader or not... no versions or sth like that...
Read up on bootloaders here: Its for Xperia S but is the same for P
From there:
First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

So, i assume ur phone says "YES" and your bootloader has been unlocked (by someone...:silly. If that is the case you can NOT get any updates from the official PC Software any more. If u want that, you have to re-lock your bootloader.
Thats the point where flashtool comes in. It is a tool that lets you flash official firmwares even if u have an unlocked booloader.
You can read up on this tool (and other general stuff) here.

unlocked ROM? what?
Flashtool needs a firmware file in the .ftf format. There are some in the P Dev section like this one

You can change your SI number in there (wherever applicable) and you will receive the update through PCC.
There was this thread with all the SI list but I can't seem to find it now

Updates are region and/or provider dependant.
You can take your chances and flash generic world formware.

I want to do it so i can root my phone, but since I've never done this, I'm a bit insecure and hesitant.
From the research I've done rooting my Xperia P is preferred to be done with the latest firmware which I don't have.
What would you suggest I do? I am completely new to this.

Like before you do anything with your phone, take a full backup with PC Companion, and backup other data it doesn't manually.
Then you will need to download and install flashtool, install the drivers for Xperia P, flash mode, and fastboot mode with the drivers installer from drivers directory under flashtool directory.
Find and download generic 6.2.A.1.100 firmware file and flash it.
Exclude TA when you flash.
I have my firmware uploaded here, it's a two part 7-Zip, archive.
You may look for others that are more sutable for your region.
To root 6.2.A.1.100 use DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit.
My phone is acting really crazy and I can't do a backup with PC Companion, nor with the phone app for backup, but I don't care anymore.
I'll try everything you suggested and let you know if it worked.
Thanks a lot, you have been more than helpful. I really appreciate it.
Hello, i got a nice Sony Xperia X10 mini with Android 2.1 update 1 and want to update to any Android 4.4. So i choose the PureSlim R4 for Robyn with the Pure GoogleApps for my phone.
But i cant work with FlashTool 0.9.22.3 i cant root my phone. I got the errormessag: ERROR - Illegal key size or default parameters. With SuperUser and SuperSU both the same result. How to install a new flash then? Do i need an older version of FlashTool? All tutorials are with links for flashtool in GitHub. But this links are broken.
Thanks for every hint to get a newer rom to my phone. USB Debugging is activated of course.
