Hello all Xperia Ray users and developers, I have a question on how to unlock my bootloader if im not allowed to do that.
1. My phone says that bootloader unlock is not allowed, my phone is locked to Three, what are im gonna do? Is there any other way to unlock it?
2. Is there any roms for Rays that have locked bootloaders?
Sorry if this question have been asked before, but I didnt find anything about this.

1. unlock from Three, then you can unlock bootloader, there's no other way
2. no, only official roms (GB or ICS)
Mine problem was this but i didn't have it sim locked. Your rooting status says that bootloader unlock is not allowed. So there is a way but it costs money to get it unlocked. Its paid, you cant get it free. So on wotanserver.com it 15 euro. And mine was unlocked by Jinx13(add him to skype). His fee is 15 gbp. Your choice. Its done competly remotly so you probably can unlock it is tonight. Pay pal is preferred

Would that work on 2.3.5 version 45.1.190.MB853.UsC.EN.US ?
yep, I'm on the same boat, just got a Photon, thought it was just like any other GSM unlock so I ordered a code. Got cheated on $26 and couldnt find a way to enter a code... Rooted, but wasnt able to use the pudding RSD unlock since of the 2.3.5 version. Still have hope we'll be able to unlock bootloader on this device later on.

Turn your ;phone into gsm mode in call settings set a screen lock and go turn your screen off wait 15 secs and then instead of entering screen lock go to emergency dial and enter #073887* and then call it it will ask for unlock code and where did you buy your code and is your photon for usa sprint because i need to unlock mine too thanks

nope. not yet at least. there are rumors that it is in the works of POSSIBLY being unlocked eventually. but as of right now, there is absolutely no way to unlock a 2.3.5 phone after accepting the OTA update that was pushed to our phones.
That blows. I just was handed this phone by my boss. I am currently on an older EVO but I'm running JB so this would be a major downgrade imho.

where did you got a unlocked code to motorola photn 4g
where did you got a unlocked code to motorola photn 4g?
please can you send or post the link?
What.
Unlocking 2.3.5
Just kinda curious here, is there any efforts to crack the bootloader?
At these point I no longer have faith whatsoever at Motorola, but I still trust the dev here in XDA. If there's any word that there's some dev working on to unlock the bootloader on this phone, I'll be most likely keep my photon. Otherwise i might've start to look for another

I feel pretty confident in stating that we will never see an unlocked bootloader for 2.3.5 ota. Ever since moto and google abandoned us people have been leaving in masses. Had we gotten ICS and seen our JB roms enter complete stages of stability I believe the Photons popularity would have skyrocketed, bringing more interested devs to the table. But as it stands, our little beast of a phone is dying. The photon was released in July of 2011. By August of 2013, there will be next to no one left.
Well that's kinda s*ck. Been playing around with Joker ICS on my previous mopho, and it's really great actually. Motolola should've at least allow us to unlock the bootloader if they won't provide ICS/JB. Till then, I guess no more motolola for me. Kinda s*ck too, cos their build quality actually better than most other android manufacturer. Oh well...

Has anyone tried skipping the middle man and emailing google about this? Because google may be able to help some xda devs.
Yeah I am stuck on the photon 4g (wife will kill me to go to craigslist for another phone lol ). I will move to nexus phones from now on, or maybe the new blackberries is rim pulls it out and it takes off, but this why i never was an android fan, the fragmentation is so messed up. The phone is great, just moto/google screwed us.
hi
i just come from a cellphone repair shop(not operator) the guy told me that he can desimlock my lww for 12 euros but he don't know if bootloader will be unlocked so what do you think if i desimlock my phone the bootloader would be unloked?i dont need desimlock all i want is unlock my bootloader.
thank you very match any help would be very appreciated
If you want to unlock bootloader, there are two ways of doing it.
One is the official way, the other is via "testpoint" method.
Take a look at my guide (signature). It's a good place to start.
I think unlock Sim Certificate is also a good point for unlock bootloader. (Anyone correct me if I'm wrong)
If u want to unlock ur bootloader, this is official Method,

No, bootloader will remain locked
But I think desimlocking will turn Bootloader:yes ?
Not sure bro, Maybe u only have paid Methods
You have to pay some bucks to the network operator to do so...
And keep searching the forums

what method did you use to desimlock you're phone?
I used WotonServer
It cost 9.99€ and it gives 1 credit to remove simlock and 2 credits for updating phone.
Repair shops use this software so if you pay them to unlock your sim you are just paying them more money to do something you can do at home on your PC for cheaper.

You can always use the paid method, even if it says "Bootloader allowed: no". Plus, since it unlocks your bootloader by testpoint, you don't lose the DRM and you can use PCC.
It'll cost you around $24 (there was an special $10 offer for all xperia devices, don't know if it's still available though)

When did u buy ur phone? It will wait for 72 hours after u associate ur account with bootloader unlock option in developer options

Hi,
I have requested bootloader unlock.
The waiting period ends on Thursday at 02 a.m.
Do I have to unlock exactly at that time?
What happens if I make it on Thursday at 08 A.M.?
Does the waiting period then start all over again?
Thanks...
I think you can unlock it anytime after the waiting time ends.

Which I can confirm it , I had unlocked it after 1 month and it required only 168 hours.
You can unlock bootloader at any time once wait period is over.
Bootloader successfully unlocked.
Can it be that I no longer get MIUI updates?
Before I unlocked the bootloader, I had MUI 12.5. Now after the factory reset I have 12.0.9 again.
But there would be no updates available
Unlock does not block OTA updates.
Not your previous update version 12.0.5 (12.5 does not exist)?
This is not a version of Miui but an update version.
Ok... maybe I'm wrong. I thought it was 12.5...
Anyway. Good to know.
Thank you
