This really isnt a thread that belongs in development. You also failed to mention the method above, will delete the devices DRM certificates for good, they will loose the abilty to use track id and sony music and video store forever.

it kinda is, you just include a link to the bootloader relock thread. that's all that's different. kudos for trying to be helpful, i just personally find this thread as a means to boost your thanks meter..
edit: and i also feel the topic is misleading. upon reading it, it sounds like you have a new method of rooting the new firmware, without unlocking the bootloader at all. which for many people with branded phones, will be horribly shot down to see that, yet again, they need to enable fastboot to do something they have probably already read else where (probably on the linked pages you provided)
if i do this and keep my boot loader locked, will trackID still work? And SE updates?

No you can't do this, hence you have to unlock your bootloader in the process to gain root with his tut and you'll loose trackID (DRM) and it won't come back even when you relock it.
You can root without unlocking bootloader on the newest FW 4.0.1.A.0.283 in another way. Check out the dev section for more info

"hey guys , i'm sorry if i post my threat here by mistake and it's not right place "
=================================================================
yes , you can root on 2.3.4 by OTA update , but i think the generic UK still not released .
when you unlock your phone , you can't recieve and use SEUS anymore , but if relock your phone , you can use it during update/repair without any problem .
When I'm repairing my Xperia Neo using SEUS, it says that "The phone contains modified software that cannot be updated". What should I do about it?
Bootloader unlocked?
Yep! Bootloader unlocked will cause my phone to have a fail update?

How did you unlock the bootloader? There is a way that you loose the official updates and another that you don't
I followed the instructions on SE site. :|
That way you loose the official update, even ota :s I'm still on stock because I want to learn more before I touch the bl, because of warranty too. I don't know if there's a way to get the updates back, I'm new to Sony Ericsson stuff, have my neo for a week now
The thing I concerned is that if I can still update my Neo when the official Ice Cream Sandwich for Xperia released.
That I don't know, try to ask that here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134335 but I don't think that will be possible, because you gave them your imei. Read that thread and ask there about that, I'm really new to this stuff, I had a Samsung Spica before.
I see! Thanks a lot buddy. Maybe this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258723 will help me soon when the official Ice Cream Sandwich released. They posted here the original firmware of SE Xperia phones.

if you would like to update your phone with the latest or previous software with BL unlocked, you can use wotan server, its pretty easy and straight forward or you can use flashtool if you have the proper FTF files for your phone.
If you would like to relock your BL, then you can do so, since you used the SE procedure, here's how to relock your bootloader:

after relocking your bootloader, you can now use PC Companion to update your phone

I suggest to use the SE unlock procedure as the other procedure (not sure what its called) aside from your cannot relock the bootloader, unlocking process is hard and complicated.
But DRM (where Track ID is using) will be totally gone once you unlocked the bootloader and you cannot get it back even if you relock BL. (just a heads up though)

That's why I asked if its unlocked, and not if it's patched
With patched bl you can still use official update service.

yeah that was "test point" thanks, I just forgot the name the time I posted my reply earlier. LOL! I'm not really sure but according to the thread I've read here on XDA, its not possible at the moment, so I suggest using the SE procedure which is pretty straight forward.

Xperia neo is an awesome phone
Concerning about the warranty, is it compatible with unlocking/re-locking the bl? I read a lot of threads but never read nothing that gives me a clear answer...

By that method bootloader is not unlocked, but instead it's patched, so that it accept unsigned images. As far as I know, you can't "unpatch" it

Well, for start, the official online method warns you that you are loosing warranty by doing that. Did you really think they won't cover themself?
Anw, if you do the online unlock, you can lock it back, but it won't bring drm stuff like track id back, it's gone forever from your phone(but I see you already know that ).
Now in real life situation. I really doubt they will check if you still have drm stuff on your phone or if your bl is patched. They will most likely check if bl is locked or unlocked

Hi!
I haven't seen a way to change the status from "bootloader unlock allowed: NO" to YES, but in a forum I read that some guys managed to reach an agreement with sony. If we send the simlock unlock codes they will allow the bootloader unlock.
Here's the OT

I'll send a mail to see if it really works (I have the sim unlock code).
Do you know something about this?

After reading a bunch of Googlish I don't think they got any response yet. I don't think emailing Sony will get your bootloader unlocked but you never know.

The chances are very small, but looks like they are going to unlock it:

Looks like the only requirement now is that you have to bring the device to a sony service center
We are dealing with Sony to get our handsets fully unlocked, but what i am most afraid of is if employees will be aware of this. I hope so!
We will keep you guys updated!

kindly add a question mark to your title, for obvious reasons. thanks
you can make the bootloader unlock allowed: yes by ezSEMC tool. I made it yesterday unlocking my acro HD for 45$. the phone became fully unlocked and bootloader changed to rootable, after that i've unlocked bootloader by official method.

Now i see why u retired..lolaa.. u changed Flashtool version to a ancient one when current version is 0.9.0.0
Can someone confirm this status could be changed NOW ?!?
Some people say it can't be done no more because S1 server is closed for good an no other solutions for now...

I've heard rumours the s1 server is offline for good aswell. Missed it by about two days. Gutted. I've been checking daily for about 3 weeks.
Can't believe I had so much fun with my x10 and cm roms, but now I'm forced to stop.

I still find hard to believe no one can "break this code"...
I would certainly donate to some Dev to crack this problem for good. If it can be done by CSCA Server than is just some service mode and software changes.
That or find some loophole to flash kernels into the phone, security blocks for that are so hard or complex that no one can break them ?!
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Hey Guys,
I would like to root my Sony xperia s but when going into the service menu and selecting root where it says 'Bootloader unlocking allowed' it says no.
Is there anyway to do it and if so could I have a guide, this would help me and alot of other people.

You can also wait till the Sony s1 signature server is online and pay someone to do a full csca unlock. That it's what I'm waiting for. Just to change the unlockable bootloader status to ' yes'

I do have the same situation. My Xperia S is locked and it can't be unlocked. I tried with many sites to get Unlock code. unfortunately, all have the same answer. unable to unlock it. :crying:
So, who can close this issue with the solution
Is it possible to root the ultra without unlocking the bootloader? I'm not familiar with Sony, I haven't used a Sony phone since Xperia play. Or do I need to do the unlock method first?
Thanks in advance.

I'll come over to your house and we'll get it rooted. Just joking and I must say there is a lot of outdated info even in the stickies. It took me a lot longer than it should to figure out what was currently correct.
