Hi,
I have Sony Ericcson Xperia Mini Pro manufactured in 12W31. I want to ask, if the only method to unlock bootloader is the official one and if there is no method to backup DRM keys. Because testpoint method dont work (because of date) and TA backup tool is only for Sony Xperias. Thanks for answers.

The OP in this thread used the S1Tool to do it without losing the DRM keys and warranty. He eventually did it as he has mentioned in the first post itself by editing it. If it worked for him, it should work for you too. I hope this helps.
Why do you need DRM?

Hey if i run this script should i have my bootloader unlocked or no??
No need to unlock your bootloader..
Just run the batch file(.bat) and let it root...
It will also reboot the phone....
Anyway it can harm my phone or brick
I've successfully used this method to install Superuser.apk, the su-binary and busybox.
My build no. is 4.0.1.A.0.284
TrackID, as one would expect, is still working.
Next task is to remove the preinstalled bloat.
Ok thanks. I will also remove many apps Xperia 2011 has a bunch full of crap apps
But I got Xperia mini build no. 4.0.2.A.42 will this work?
you should release it earlier
i had give sony my IMEI!!!!!! sad.............
Thank i have successfully rooted my phone now i am trying to unlock bootloader but it is so hard to do it in the hardware trick way
Hello, I would like to start by saying a big thanks to everyone in this forum for their effort and their great work.
Model name: SK17i
Firstly i upgraded to 4.0.2.A.0.42 from SE using pc companion and then i followed some guides from the dev section to unlock the boot manager and root the device.
1) i used doomlord's script to root the device
2) i decided to unlock the boot manager for future CM installation
I was thinking if it is possible to get SE upgrades using pc companion without bricking my phone.
Hello I would also like to get an answer to this question.
My girlfriend owns a SE xperia mini pro (model SK17i) and have unlocked the bootmanager and also rooted it with doomlord's script.
I want to know if I will be able to upgrade it using PC Companion without the risk to brick her phone (I have read different posts about phones that got bricked when bootmanagers were unlocked)
Thanks
I just got an Xperia S, it's a great phone.
I had The Xperia X10 (unlocked bootloader, x10s rom doomkernel max overclock)
I want to unlock my bootloader but I cant get the drivers installed on mij X64 bit windows & pc.
I tried it for 2 day and read allod of posts here.
Can somebody please help me?
I'm Even Willing to PAY good money If someone helps me (of does it for me)
If someones willing please contact me and If you can do the unlocking (I live in Tilburg/the Netherlands) that would even be greater
download the flashtool its has drivers with it. or you can try to download and install pda.net
Ok, I have that, I tried to root and unlock it the same as I did with the x10 it didn't work. Do I have to flash anything in flashtool? Follow the official unlock method (from Sony) or do something els?
Thanks for anwsering so quick buddy!!

I think you unlock x10 using something like easy 1 click similar stuff.
That method is not available with xperia s. As of now, the only way to root is to flash a pre root image. In order to do so, you need to unlock bootloader which also means, you will lose the DRM key.
You can get the full tutorial in the development section.
I know, I followed the instruction only to get stuck at step 13.
if I do this My PC says He couldn.t find any comparable drivers.
here is a screenshot, mayb someone can see where I did What incorrect?
everything worktoud wit an other link for the xperia arc files,
just flast doomlord's latest kernel, looking for wifi files and then I'm ready
Hello,
i used to have xperia neo v, on which i have unlocked my bootloader with a simple tool with out using cmd. I know that one was pretty populer method for unlocking xperia devices. Is there any thing like that for xperia go? Coz the sony mobie official method of unlocking is a bit of complex as i have to download the whole sdk thing..
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks
You don't need to download SDK,you need fast boot.That's all.
There is a tutorial in Xperia S forum.
