I updated to v20f via OTA update first. Then rooted using LGPwn method. Is there a sure way to unlock the bootloader, or no? New to the forum, sorry if posted in the wrong area.
A sure way no, for example: i followed the instructions to unlock bootloader but still its locked
But many people followed and successfully unlocked the BL. The only way to know is try it yourself. At moment im with locked BL and rooted, waiting for a new way to unlock it

Hi. Iam on ota 2.3.4. Do you need to unlock the bootloader in order to obtain root, & teathering? Also after i unlock the bootloader is there a rom that has root and teathering included without having to use adb commands? Rooting was easy on 2.2 but there seems to be alot more steps to root 2.3.4

Use preinstall root to gain root (eval gave script commands. Just copy and paste) unlock is not required. There are a few roms but not too many with built in root. I only know of kens gingerbread build

i believe the OTA update to 2.3.4 officially unlocks the bootloader.... someone may have to confirm.
you will not need to unlock bootloader in order to get root. they are independent.

No.
2.3.4 instead of unlocking the BP it updates it. And if you unlock and then flash sbf with older version of BP(1.8.3 or older), you will get a hard brick!!!
They didn't unlocked the BP officially.
Unlocking became from a leaked version of their 2.3.4 update!
See pudding thread in dev section for info.
Agree with root and unlocking.

I am kinda confused about the bootloader. So do you need to have an unlocked phone to unlock the bootloader? Because I'm a little afraid to do it because of the loss of radio signal! Please help
and i checked on that tool thats supposed to check if you can unlock the bootloader and and it said ready. My phone is not unlocked from the carrier.

If your phone isn't unlocked then you can use the SEMC_qd8250.zip to method to unlock your boot loader, but you can always use the SIM certificate check tool in the dev thread to check if what SIM certificate your phone has, post the tool in a second.
Just a quick question.
I unlocked my bootloader on my Mini and then locked it again.
Now when I updated to ICS I was thinking about unlocking it again.
Is there anything I need to think about that can be an issue?
I was planing to unlock it with the official method from Sony.
Cheers

is a boot unlock the same thing as carrier unlocking? does flashing or rooting unlock? how does one go about carrier unlocking? i've done a couple of flashes and mod installs but that's only because i follow directions well. but i'm eager to learn more. where should i start?

Thanks, and how would i know if a phone was carrier unlocked? i'll hit the thread u sent me and check it out. kudos my man!
i've got everything done but i don't understand how to install in Hboot.
I have a x10 running 2.3.3 official firmware.
I have rooted it.
So have I unlocked the bootloader?
If no,how to unlock it??

Rooting is not part of unlocking bootloader. Check first by dialing *#*#7378523#*#* and if bootloader says YES then you can unlock it. But if you are locked in a specific carrier then you need to unlock your sim first then proceed to unlocking bootloader. Check the development thread and look for proper bypass for bootloader unlocking.
