Recently i have relocked my bootloader,and i give it to se for checking my phone's problem
Now,my xperia ray is back
and i want to unlock bootloader again
and what can i do?
ps:all 2011 xperia phone use the same way to unlock bootloader,so please dont say this is xperia mini/mini pro/active forum.
i want to know the answer to this too.. is it the same bootloader unlock key? thanks..
Yeah. The same bootloader unlock key.
Grab it again from http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com , if you didn't save it at first time
It should be the exact same way you did it the first time. I don't see why it would have changed to be fair.
I found a guide in this page http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119 maybe with a modified kernel of the Xperia S and following the steps, you can root with locked bootloader, is this possible???
Need help!!!!!
Thanks.....
Currently impossible.
Only Xperia's 2012 line are in this situation.
ANY OTHER PHONES! All have options to root even Motorola with permanently locked bootlaoder
I have Xperia S with locked bootloader without possibility unlock it <yet> by the operator (Orange PL)

now i want is unroot.

but this i getting error.
plz find the attachment
help me...
Root and bootloader are two distinct things. Unlocked bootloader allows you to change kernel, while root is the ability to pass certain system restrictions.
What are you trying to do? un-root your phone or relock bootloader? I think the fiorst since i doubt you unlocked your BL, in that case just flash the stock ftf for your phone

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First, ur firmware version cant be rooted (need to downgrade to .58) with that tool.
Second, that tool is for rooting, not to unlock ur bootloader.
Third, "unlock bootloader allowed: yes" means u can unlock it, doesnt mean it already unlocked or rooted.
U have a lot misunderstanding man. Learn more...

@chepoz thanks now i understand a little.
if u have wt19i or any other android device than i want to know is rooting is really a necessary for hiding app icon from launcher.
i m not so tech person
or what r the risk in after rooting the phone
unlock bootloader allowed: yes is this due to script which was i run on manufacturer permission
becaz i afraid about my warranty.
There are no risks in rooting your phone, as that merely allows for certain apps to run certain functions (it all depends on what you do with those apps, i.e if you overclock or undervolt wrongly using apps for this you might fry your phone)
It is not due to the script, some devices can unlock bootloader thorugh sony official method (those marked bootloader allowed yes), if it says bootloader allowed No one would have to use testpoint or wotan server method if this doesn't work
Rooting does not void warranty, unlocking bootloader does.
