I know that m4 aqua has problems like heating and low storage.but still want to buy the device. In my country only these 2 models are available.
Which model has less problems?
And can any of the 2 devices be rooted with locked bootloader?
I havent unlocked the bootloader of anyphone so far.so i am not happy with unlocking bootloader as no updates not atleast by sony pcc.
I like to hear from users of the device.
Please reply.
Thanks.
both device has the same problem,root is easier with unlocked bootloader.i dont know about root with locked bootloader,but i think it possible..the different between e2353 and e2313 is the lte support,e2313 does not support lte,that all the different

Hi friends,
Before buying this cute smartphone, I want to know if we have solutions to unsimlock the Xperia S.
Thank you all
if you have option, buy unlocked one
why?
1) phone is locked so no other network
2)unlocking phone would be very expensive since is new so £30-40 + wait to people work out how to (price in highstreet)
3)instatly lose warranty - (test point)
4) locked bootloader no fun on xda
-no fastboot
-no unlocked botlooader
-no xrecovery
-no custom rom
-no root
- long wait for update.
- i am not sure whether unlock simlock = unlocked bootloader.

Currently there is no free Sim Unlock in the DEV section. Best check next time before asking
The phone has been out around 3 weeks, might be a while before a solution can be found.
I have checked more than you can imagine that's why I have asked to know if there is a solution because I didn't find it

I won my Xperia S in a competition from Three UK.
I'm on Orange and have my contract to pay so I asked Three for an unlock code. They've had to speak to Sony because even Three don't have a code yet.
I paid £15 on 9th March and I'm still waiting for an unlock, just want to use my beautiful Xperia

Are you sure?
A network locked phone cannot be root and no unlocked bootloader?
my X10 was locked and I could root it easily and flash other official roms (different baseband).
Then I sim-unlocked it before flashing custom roms, so I don't know if I am able to do that with a locked phone though.

Just got my Xperia unlocked officially from Three UK. So it works on any network however all the Three integration is still there and after checking the bootloader status I am unable to unlock the bootloader as of now.
So although it's unlocked to any network, it's still kinda locked with regards to the bootloader and rooting.

Have you flashed an un-brand firmware? (there is a way to flash another official rom without rooting/unlocking) Maybe it would be bootloader unlock-able after that...? (i really not sure about this)
But there should be a way to root the phone without bootloader unlocked soon or later anyway (just like the others)
and i know that the X10 can be bootloader unlock even with simlock (although the method came out quite late...)
it's just a matter of time, shouldn't be the end of the world

I've not flashed any new firmware as of yet because I'm not confident in what I'm doing haha. I'm not rushing to find anything, but would like to root at some stage. And if I can unlock the bootloader I would
IMEI UNLOCK Sony Xperia S
Hi,
I planing to buy a Sony Xperia S and IMEI unlock it...Maybe this is a stupid question but if I buy the Xperia S new, is it possible it comes already with blocked counter? or every Xperia S comes with 5 to 10 attempts? and if it comes with factory blocked counter, is it still possible to remove simlock? Would it be to expensive? I really need to know this in order to know if I buy the Xperia S or not. Sorry if it is a dumb question but I was an iOS user 'til now. Sorry if I post this in the wrong thread.
Thank you!!
Hi,
I have been reading up alot recently about rooting and flashing my phone (Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray) as currently my carrier (O2) is not releasing ICS for updates as they have not "tested" it sufficiently on my particular device (this was there explanation to me via email).
I have looked on the official sony ericsson website trying to find a way to update my phone and found that the method there required my phone to have an unlocked bootlader but unfortunatly my phone has a locked bootloader (im assuming due to it being locked to O2 although it is a pay as you go model).
I have read conflicting opinions on whether you can root and flash your phone in my situation and was just wondering (before i tried anything at all) whether someone could clarify if it would be possible to update my phone to ICS.
For reference this is my phones status:
Rooting Status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: No
Thanks
Try find generic ics for ray, flash it using flashtool.
Or u can pay to make your bootloader unlockable.

When you follow the Link Tutorial you have at the end Root and ICS on your Ray, without unlocking your bootloader (unlocking bootloader causes probably in lost your warranty!)
You need unlocking Bootloader for new Kernel and/or some Custom Rom´s, but there are some rom´s for locked bootloader.
Don´t forget to save your build.prop in /system befor you do something from the guide! With original build.prop you can flash your phone to O2 original software when there are something to repair in service center.
Hi dudes,
I sent an email to Sony Support France and asked them about bootloader. I have a Sony Xperia Z2 from SFR carrier ( FRANCE ) and I was wondering if they could unlock my bootloader if I sim unlock it. I mean without simlock my phone should be the same as a phone purchased in a Sony store.
I'm still waiting for an answer, keep you in touch. :good:
Regards
Is this a question?
Why would you post this in Q & A?
It can be a question, maybe someone already tried that ?
Ok guys,
I got an answer, it was NO. They basically said they that I need to deal with my carrier for this kind of problems...
I still have a question for you, If an exploit is found is it only for root or will we able to unlock unlockable bootloaders ?

If the exploit is found, then you can flash a ROOTED ROM on a locked bootloader like the Z1. I for one like the stock sony experience i just wish i could put a sound MOD on the Z2 and for that i need root but, my phone is locked.....
Oh ok, so if an exploit is found, people with locked bootloader will not be able to flash kernel like the one from DoomLord for exemple ?
So I know this has been asked a million times before, unfortunately I'm way too unfamiliar with flashing/rooting etc to understand what most threads try to explain.
It would be so awesome if somebody could answer my questions in the simplest possible language.
Right off the bat I must say that I have a Sony Xperia M4 Aqua E2306, and almost all instructions that I find reference other variants of this device. So would they be
compatible with my phone?
All I need is to get plain and simple root on my phone. I do not need a custom recovery or anything like that (unless of course it is necessary for rooting).
Here is all the info about my device that I think may be relevant:
Sony Xperia M4 Aqua, E2306, originally with Fido (Canada), now network unlocked.
Android version: 6.0.1
Build number: 26.3.A.1.33
In the service menu, it says "Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No."
First, do I need to unlock the bootloader to be able to root my phone? If so, is there is really no way to unlock it on my device?
Second, could someone point me to a thread with a rooting method that would work specifically on my device, based on the info above (and unlock the bootloader, if applicable)?
Thank you
Hi guys,
I wanted to root my Xperia M4 Aqua (E2303) which is on MM 6.0.1, compilation 26.3.A.1.33 and I haven't found any method to do it without having to unlock the bootloader (I really want to keep it locked, for warranty reasons). I've tried several methods (using .bat files) made for previous compilations and it didn't work, giving me the error that my device wasn't supported. Does anyone know how to do it? Thanks.

On MM unlocked bootloader is required. Try Lollipop.
If you want keep warranty- just unroot then relock bootloader.
Back to 5.0, make TA backup, and go to 6.0.1, unlock bootloader and root, if you phone get broken, back to 5.0, and Block bootloader by restoring TA, and flash newest rom by xperia companion
And what about the camera? If bootloader is unlocked pictures will have worst quality?
Thanlks
No problem with quality of camera after unlocking of bootloader.
