Hi, i have a japanese phone, ISW11M (AU KDDI) which is locked apparently. I have already sim-unlocked it using some paid service. However, I planning to unlock the bootloader to install some rooted custom ROM..
So my question is, do isw11m(Au kddi) model is supported by photon_torpedo root method? Or do i need to use other method to install custom rom in this phone? Please enlighten me or give me a direction on how to solve this.
Yes, you can install custom ROM on ISW11M. I've already installed CM7 on my ISW11M (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910837). Do step-by-step --> ROOT --> UNLOCK BOOTLOADER --> CMW --> Install ROM.
But there is one thing you must know, if you break your phone, you can't returm to stock ROM because there is no stock ROM for ISW11M.
Please read carefully all step before you begin. I think when you're on CM7 you won't want to return stock.

I got build number, 4.5.1. I guess it is still not possible to unlock bootloader with this build version. =.=
Take a screen of your phone's About information. My phone is also 4.5.1 too.

Can you send me the link of where can i learn to unlock bootloader?
You don't need to go to an external website- I found the BL unlock instructions in the development subforum for this device and it worked perfectly. Although it slightly worries me that there's no stock ROM for this device- mine is starting to have problems.
That's right!

Hello, everybody!
Guess what? the_laster had make a tool to restore the bootloader.
I found this here
It's a new s1tool. Download here View attachment s1tool.7z
So we can unlock the bootloader ,and restore it anytime we want.
Now we can do everything we want and without worry.
One more thing, after restore the bootloader our customer kernel will not boot,so you have to use the stock kernel.
Cheer!!!
And thanks to all great men here!!!
Edit:
It's useless for you unless you want to relock the bootloader.
After SpyderX add this to his thread,I think this thread should be closed(or deleted).

yeah It's very easy. I'm sorry if I opened a useless thread.
The topic '[how to] restore original bootloader after unlock' is named by the_laster.
I just copy it.
Never mind, good work finding this. I will add it to my thread. Thanks!
why we need to restore the original boot loader ???

It's not because we need. JUST WE CAN!!
Maybe sometimes we want to try SE' fully stock X8.
for warranty maybe
i think , because right now when we need to try rom must flash 1 package kernel and rom.
so if we want to use rom (old rom that there is not 1 package with custom kernel)
we need original kernel to use rom ex : GDX , GC and the others.
the point is we still wait stable custom kernel + rom.
correct me if i'm wrong.
whit this tool ,the x8 unlocked turn into locked phone?
sorry for english
Closed as per OP request.
Hi!
I want to root my active but I'm afraid that I can brick it or something.
I have it with the stock rom and the compilation number is 4.0.2.A.0.84.
Can I follow this tutorial? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118343
Or there is one specific for the version I have?
Sorry if this has been asked before but it's not very clear for me what to do to root the phone.
Thanks!
I would advise you to read my rooting guide (in the stickies in general forum) and to follow the method for 4.0.2.A.0.62. It's really easy, but instead of updating to .62 you will update over the air to .84 (I hope that's working!)

You could use the tutorial for .62 or you simply try the program called "eroot"

Second flash any kernal via flashtool make sure you choose carefully between android versions i.e. use ICS kernal if you are on ICS,similarly GB kernal for GB and JB kernal for JB .
DONE..!!:highfive: I am not responsible for any harm to your device do it at your own risk

Unlocking bootloader and then rooting is the easiest way, unlocked bootloader will also provide manual settings of frequency which will indeed boost the phone. :good:
Root will avoid the warranty isn`t it . so whats the deal with unlocking the bootloader.

Unlocking is not the easiest way and it's not necessary. You are able too root without unlocking (check my guide, there are many methods) and you won't void your warranty, because after reflashing the stock rom, you can send it to the service center and Sony won't notice that it was rooted

Well, first of all, many thanks for your contributions. Now I'm more confused. The main goal for me is to be able to free some internal space (remove stock applications?) Flashing custom ROM's is something I would like to but not necessary for now. So... for my first goal, I don't need bootloader unlock???

Its up to you whether you want a locked bootloader or unlocked bootloader. If you use a locked bootloader you will be able to flash custom Roms but you will not be able to flash custom kernals. custom kernal basically will increase your phones performance.
Its your phone your choice brother.. Both the method are Perfect. My personal opinion is that you should use the rooting method with locked bootloader hence, it will not avoid your warranty (if you flash the stock rom again after flashing a custom Rom).

Just try eroot first, it's the tool "for all firmware versions". It should work well! Download the tool and follow the instructions

If it's really not working, use the method for .587. There's a link to a tutorial by Abhinav2 and it should work then

Hi there,
I've successfully rooted with kingroot.
Can I just unlock BL with the guide on XDA, install twrp and flash firenexus or CM? or are there things I need to lookout for?
I'm not very familiar with amazon tablets.
Thanks in advance!!

Just follow the guide. Once unlocked only flash custom ROMs specifically built for this device (never stock). Be sure to consult ROM OP for flashing guidance.

Hi there,
I've used the tutorial to create the unlock code but when I try to flash I get FAILED (remote: Unlock code is NOT correct)
I've created the unlock file a few times but still no luck. Any idea what the issue could be? Or any solutions?
Thanks!!
EDIT: My bad, failed to look at step 2. Bootloader is finally unlocked!!

You do not need to downgrade, follow the guide to install TWRP after unlocking your bootloader and you are ready to flash anything you want.

Allright.
A Phone always comes with a locked bootloader so if you don't unlocked it yourself it is still locked.
To flash twrp you will need a unlocked bootloader and to unlock a bootloader you need rootacess.
I used the app rlashr to flash twrp and boot in recovery. Don't forget to type 'su' in a terminal before you use it (at the guide how to unlock a bootloader)
This guide tells you how to do everything:
(Follow these steps: root -> bootloader-> recovery(twrp))
