Hi,
In the future IF sony unlock the Xperia Tablet S bootloader (with the next JB update ??? cross finger...), is a ROM exists for this tablet ???
Which ROM is avalaible for our tablet ?
Thanx
There are no available custom ROMs for neither of the Sony tablets until now. If we can unlock bootloader and root the tablet on JB, maybe things will change..
Since the bootloader is Fastboot mode then maybe it is possible to unlock the bootloader from there by doing 'fastboot.exe oem-unlock'.

Will not work for sure since Sony VAIO did something to the bootloader unless we can get the device to lock on to the bootloader.

Hi,i got unlocked bootloader and how to update to ics using pc companion?
I hear that relock bootloader dosnt work and you cant get official rom after unlock bootloader
wysłane z commodore64
Did you unlock (official way at unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com) or patch (test point method) the bootloader?
Both ways, bootloader can be restored/relocked. I recently relocked mine, getting updates also.

Open the SE Tool and click Restore to relock the bootloader. Then you should be able to get the updates, if you couldn't earlier.

Dude, I have this overheating issue on my xperia mini, and the bootloader is unlocked. So I gave it in the service center, they said that the motherboard has a problem and they are going to replace it . I lost the DRM keys by unlocking the bootloader-
1. Will I get those DRM keys back once my motherboard is replaced?
2. Will the bootloader status be changed to locked again?

I can't answer that. You will get your answer if you get your phone back.
To previous post - Way too small photo, can't see. Neither can I see that option in Flashtool 0.7.1.0 on my PC.

If you mobile get bricked, lock bootloader again
Is is possible to root Sola without unlocking bootloader like the 2010-11 Xperia phones? I've installed Flashtool v0.9.6.0. It does support Sola but the rooting fails. I've the "Auto Connect in MSC" option enabled, but the rooting process still fails.
Following is the log from Flashtool. Need help.

Will the warranty void if we root the phone? even without unlocking the bootloader..?

Warranty is void when you do something irreversible. Rooting is usually reversible. Unlocking bootloader is generally irreversible. For our phones, I'm not sure if unlocking bootloader is permanent or not. But rooted Sola can mostly be unrooted. I've rooted my phone without much thought btw.
why not you try this

I was trying to unlock bl with the official mode but it fails everytime. In service menu it says bootloader unlock allowed: yes, but nothing works. I cant unlock with s1tool bcuz not recognized simlock certificate. What can I do?

Hey,
First of all, google this --> "bootloader unlock - freexperia" with quotes (unfortunately, I can't post links yet).
If you've done it this way and still doesn't work, then I assume there's a problem with your USB drivers or fastboot (try reinstalling).
I want to unlock bootloader, but the risk is my warranty...
I wish wait to expired first
I dont think its driver probl cuz fastboot devices command works.

Well, my friend, I unlocked it on my second month and didn't have the need to use my warranty in any way till now (8+ months)
Of course, it's your choice, but I was fascinated by the fact I could run Jelly Bean on my Neo V thanks to Freexperia Team, and haven't looked back since then!
Then again, I can't tell you what is best for your needs but I can assure you, Sony's warranty (and most smartphone's dealers in general) covers very few issues that might happen in realistic scenarios.

Judging from this, I understand that you got the unlock key from Sony's official website and the last command (fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY) fails.
Wild Guess: Any typos? confused "o" with "0" maybe.
Sorry I can't be more helpful, but for me it was harder to flash a rom for the first time than unlocking the bootloader :-/
Geri .... ^^ this or
I would say try again!
Though I got it unlocked in first try !
Do you get any response like
0.3 version
When you type the fastboot command in cmd?

for the getvar version, i got 0.3 and "fastboot devices" also identified it. and there arent typos cuz i tried everything.

If you get that,things are fine I guess!
I am clueless on this, then!
I don't even know why're you facing this issue when I did the same steps and succeeded at one go!

Euhm, originally it was simlocked to orange uk... a cellshop unlocked it somehow... I think its bcuz this.

Seems you'll have to SIM unlock it via unofficial way!
Then try this or else go for s2tool!

Plenty of guide for rooting in general section. Two options for rooting w/o unlocking bootloader..

if you root but dont unlock bootloader, can you still have a custom recovery and flash roms?
thanks

Yes, but with more limited options than unlocking bootloader. Now we have working recovery but requires unlocking bootloader. Recovery w/o unlocking bootloader is still in progress, check the original android development section.
Sent from my C6802 using xda app-developers app
thanks; I know I have read that unlocking the bootloader currently disables some features in the phone, but I am sure its only a matter of time till the fantastic devs get that sorted out..plus, once they announce who is carrying this phone in the US, there will be ALOT more people, including devs, jumping on board! :good:
Mine is rooted with vroot and i m not sure will it lost DRM keys or not.

Hey guys, i am new here but reading for last few weeks, i was ios user but now got hold of xperia P from sony and very pleased with the phone.
I read and learned how to root,cwm and flash custom rom. Learned how to check is bootloader unlockable or not.
So my Xperia says No for bootloader which means that i can do everything except flash custom kernels ??? correct me if i am wrong !?
I flashed Honami custom 4.1.2 and it works great but i want kitkat 4.4, but as far as i see, its available only with custom kernel (which i cant flash !?).
So tell me could i expect in near future kitkat for stock kernel or do i sell this phone which i se great by the way ??!?!
Thx, and apologiez if there is similiar thread or wrong subforum. No hate please

Nope.. You can't have custom kitkat on you phone with locked boatloader because it uses custom kernel...so, You can only flash roms that are based on stock rom...!
But there are some people claiming that they managed to unlock their bootloader despite it says no.. So, You could check those threads... But I don't recommend that as it could harm your phone..

What is the worse thing that could happen, i already had soft-brick and i fixed with pccomapnion software, could it be unrepairable ?
Actually I don't know... But it could get hard brick because you are doing what your phone is not capable of.. so... It's up to you to decide whether try it or not...

yes but Sources have leaked so won't it be possible to have a stock rom on Kitkat ?
or even use a newer phone kitkat on our XP like XPZ1 ?
I don't think we can run any custom kernel on locked boatloader..! That's why we cannot run kitkat on our phone with locked boatloader.. But I am just sharing my own view.. Because I really don't know if it is possible!
