Hi im on pixel experience 12 plus right now . If i flash miui 13 stock with fastboot is there a way to notice what i did before with the phone ?
In here theres no xiaomi service center but the garranty company here is just a reseller.
Dont know if i could clearify my point but i want to know can they notice i was playing with device roms and stuff?

I think if you relock Bootloader (through Mi Flash), not
Except that Xiaomi can track that you had requested BL unlocking
But I don't know if just unlocking BL voids the warranty

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
Docomo unlocked at purchase for $39 USD

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!!
I m a bit confused in unlocking my bootloader . Does unlocking bootloader voids the warranty or it remains . I want to get rid of this stock rom. Let me know if you have any idea regarding this
No. Unlocking Bootloader Would Not Void The Warranty Of Redmi Note 4.
No. it's completely safe to root and flash custom rom.
Thanx bro
Because Huawei shut down the unlocking service, will there be another way to unlock the bootloader?
I have been looking to buy a new phone but I need it to be able to support lineage. Sadly, Nokia 8 seems long off bootloader unlocking.

Do note that although there are ways to get your bootloader unlocked unofficialy, custom ROMs are still a long way from stable. There are no active developments for the P20 lite itself and the Treble ROMs do not support notch yet and are not stable enough to be daily drivers.
Hi folks.
I have a Mi 8 Lite global pack.
I alreday unlocked it's bootloader. but i don't want to my phone be unlocked anymore.
So, since people say China rom is better than global. I interested to flash china rom and lock my bootloader
Is this possible to do it? without any soft or hard break?
What about China Beta rom? Can i flash it in this case?

As far as I know you can´t cross the firmware before to unlock device and in your case when you unlocked it you can flash any of both but you can´t relock it over the crossed firmware or you could brick it.
If you want to wait that someone that tried it can confirm it but I read that some users bricked due to this.
Hi,
I am a first time Xiaomi user and just got the Mi 10 Global version. I tried manually installing the official global MI 10 Miui 12 ROM, but the update failed as it couldn't be verified. Please take a look at the screenshots..
I can't update it via fastboot neither, as my bootloader is locked and Xiaomi wants me to wait for 168 hours (7 days!) to try again.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Don't update the **** miui 12

Because it is a Vodafone branding. You have to wait till Vodafone release the update.

So the VF at the end of MIUI version number means Vodafone?
If that's the case I might as well go and unlock my bootloader, flash the unbranded global rom and relock the bootloader.
Do I loose anything by unlocking and relocking the bootloader? I had Samsung phones before, where unlocking the bootloader would trip Knox and invalidate your warranty.

Yes VF is Vodafone branding. If you unlock bootloader you will loose your data. So make a backup.

So in the end I flashed it with Xiomi Tool V2 and I didn't need to unlock the bootloader.
