Not sure if it will work for Sola, but you may want to check out the test point metod to unlock the bootloader. You won't lose DRM. you can also relockmthe B any time you want.
fter 2 days of long hours of failure attempts, im so frustrated now. xda users say its not safe to unlock bootloader if phone's manufacturing date is over 11W29+, which will results in hard brick. my sola has date of 12W38, but i see many guide in unlocking sola's bootloader. so what the heck is all this bout? btw how to tell whether bootloader has been unlock? i used flashtool n i my sola reboot from fastboot. it seems ok(can be use) but i dono whether the bootloader is unlock......im so damn confused right now. this drives me so crazy........

Are you still looking for an answer about how to tell if bootloader is locked or unlocked?
just try to update with pc companion or update service , if it says modified software then the bootloader is unlocked , if it still continues ( cancel it ) then it means its locked.. I've not tried it but read it here.
Hi experts,
Purely i'm new to this blog and also the android platform. I don't even know about unlocking bootloader and all that stuff (just heard my friends saying). I have an xperia mini pro sk17i and was having GB 2.3.4 at the time of purchasing.Now when official update for ICS 4.0.4 had came,i updated without knowing that it will affect my xperia's performance.Now i started getting lags in games which was very smothly running in previous OS (GB). I would like to switch back to GB and want to root ( also from my friends conversation) the GB.
I need a complete guide for this because i should not end in a brick state,whether to do an unlock bootloader, or flash it, which tools to use and all.... Kindly help me guys.......

Maybe this is Stock but it is 2.3.4 and is stable but you have to unlock bootloader
You need not unlock the bootloader to downgrade. Just use flashtool and get your GB ROM. Have a look at here http://mytechencounters.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/root-your-xperia-phone-without-voiding-warranty

dev i am in desperate need of bootloader unlocker for my atrix 2 (with ics updated in india)
plz help
there is a "[PROJECT]Bootloader Unlock" in "Atrix 2 Android Development" its was released on 2nd nov 2011 means at that time atrix 2 was on
gingerbread ,as i have updated it to ics it am not sure about "[PROJECT]Bootloader Unlock"
second reason for not been sure about "[PROJECT]Bootloader Unlock" is , when this unlocker was released there was atrix 2with at&t and in india its is releaded without at&t.so i m confused whether it will work or not
as motorola is not providing any more update for atrix 2(at least in india) ,now i am in very much need for bootloader unlocker
plz help plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
There's no bootloader unlock for no one.
Why do you want to unlock your bootloader if there's no room that requires other kernel?
^+1. And there is no need for the bootloader to be unlocked to flash the roms in our dev section.! Just follow the instructions there!

frist of all thanks for quick reply :highfive::angel::fingers-crossed:
i have 3 question
Q1-i doidnt under stand ur point becoz befor e posting this thread i googled for custom rom or cm10 & i found this on a motorola official discussion
(if u google "ics or bootloader unlock on atrix 2" then its 3rd option)
"Question Title:
ICS Update or Unlock Bootloader
Comment:
I have brought Brand new Motorola Atrix 2 (Indian Version and not US AT&T model) last month hoping it will be getting ICS update, but now my Skyrocket got updated to ics and Updated my SGS I9000 to JellyBean using CM10. Being such a capable device Atrix 2 is still running on 2.3.6 (Out of Box), which is also having network connectivity issue here in India. I now feel it was a mistake buying a Motorola Atrix2 and could have bought Sony Xperia P which is in same price bracket which is getting update much faster.
If Motorola can`t update Atrix2 to stable ICS, i would like them to unlock bootloader for same as there are many developers around who can create custom ROMS (ICS or even JB) much stable & faster than Motorola team.
To make matter worse yesterday news came out that Motorola are shutting down operations in Asia Pacific. I do hope they can provide us with either a stable ICS update or Unlock the bootloader.
"
so plz reply is it now nessecary to unlock bootloader for custom rom or cm10, as i like xda dev work becoz of
a-no company app
b-overclock Facility
Q2-secondly will i b able overclock in custom rom or cm10 (as my boot loader will b locked, will it let me over clock in cm10 or custum rom)
Q3-there r kernel avalible for over clocking but when i zip instal them by CMW they show no effect(may b becoz of bootloader not been unlocked)
so plz help me overclock becoz this device with overclock is an gr8 device
so plz helpppppppppppppppp

First, forget about unlocking the bootloader. We don't need to unlock it to install the roms that we have in the developers sections.
Secondly, we have stable ics, and now, finally, we have a stable Jellybean for international phones.
But, i'm going to respond your questions in order.
1: The info that are you reading, is ooooold. If you want stable ICS, check this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934874
Those are for international Atrix 2. It means, that ones they were not bought in AT&T.
And, if you have international atrix 2, you can choose jellybean, too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092107
2: Yes, you have to flash 2 .zip's files into the custom recovery.
I don't know too much about that. But, if you read a little, you'll see that is easy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988411
3: There is no kernel available for overclocking besides the one we are using.
If you are trying to say the .zip's that you have to flash with Cwm, read the answer 2.
^^+1 what he said, but I would like to add, do yourself a huge favor and read EVERYTHING that pertains to your phones model BEFORE trying anything. Then read it all again. Then when you think you understand, read it again. You will see that most all of your questions have been previously answered, and you will gain knowledge in the process. It's a win/win for everybody that has the patience and puts in the effort to learn on their own. Good luck to ya.:thumbup:

Hi everyone. I'm new in this website and I REALLY need your help. I want to root my cell phone (xperia mini st15i), and I want if possible to give me a trustworthy video so I can root it step by step. The reason of this thread is having a video from you guys that I know I can trust. My build number is 4.1.B.0.587 Kernel version is 2.6.32.9-perf and I'm using Android 4.0.4. Hope that you'll help me and not being pain in the ass. Thanks!
There's a sub forum for xperia mini. Better to ask it in there. I had the same device one year ago. Easiest way is unlocked the bootloader and install a CWM added kernel and flash superSU zip file. There are many ways to root it without unlocking bootloader.

Hi community, I have flashed Android 4.2.2 Generic World FTF using Flashtool to my Xperia L C2105, now I want to root it, but I don't know, how to do it. I have found this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307983 and there is reference to thread with 4.2.2 root, but I can't go on this webpage, there is some error.
Can somebody give me some tutorial how to root XL working on Android 4.2.2, or explain me?
I have also found Motochopper method, somebody told me that it is right way to root my phone, but I'm not sure because I have read somewhere that Motochopper works only on some Motorola devices.
Maybe I will sell my phone in 3-4 months so I'll need a warranty back, so there should be a way to unroot the phone.
Sorry for my english
Thanks for help, greetings.
The methods that exist to root 4.2.2 firmware on Xperia L are considered unsafe :-/ Therefore the page was removed by xda's mods
And the motochopper method you read about was meant for android 4.1
To unroot you can always restore your device to original firmware, using pc companion, Sony Update Service or flashtool
Ok, thanks. When you say, that root on 4.2.2 is unsafe, do you mean that I won't be able to flash soft back at all? But does some method to root 4.2.2 exists?

You can try this method...root 4.2
Rooting using Kingoroot and vroot is risky.. It and IMEI number of your device to their server in China.. And we don't know what it does.. So be careful and don't use these 2 methods
