Hey people of XDA
Well question is kinda in the title I have an 02 locked Xperia J but the bootloader says no to being able to be unlocked so if i'm reading right I can't install custom roms
So any way I can get the bootloader unlocked?
Yes you cannot install custom roms based on custom kernel, but roms based on stock kernel should work.
And bootloader cannot be unlocked in your phone.

There's no way at all?
No, this is due to your carrier network, not Sony.

What about that SEtool2 thing? I tried contacting O2 but they gave me the run around :/ I really want it unlocked its annoying me lol
SETool does not work for the J if im not mistaken. And obviously O2 will not tell you how to unlock the bootloader.

We cannot unlock it by rooting it?
I had Desire HD and i rooted it and it got unlocked?
This would not work for this?

Wait 6 months from when you bought the phone, call att and ask to talk to supervisors a few times, say you're going out of the country and hey should give you one assuming you've been with them for a while and are in good standard payment wise

Does the s3 come with an unlocked bootloader? I think I've seen that you can buy it unlocked. Just got my s3 this Christmas and came from the droid x2 that always had a locked bootloader. I've got a lot of learning to do if the bootloader is unlocked.

One rooted, you can unlock bootloader and install recovery by using playstore apps "Ez-Recovery" and "Ez-unlock"

Sweet thanks. Also I'm aware that the American version has a dual core processer and 2GB of ram compared to the international version which has a quad core and 1GB of ram. His would this affect performance between these devices?

I made the same jump... x2 to the s3. Quite the jump huh?
my tapatalk signature sucks more than yours.
Yes I am absolutely loving the s3. The x2 had so many problems. Was out less than a year and Motorola stopped updating it. And the bootloader was locked. And there was but only 1 trusted Rom for it. Motorola provided absolutely no support. I'm glad I'm with Samsung now.

If you are already on JB which you most likely are you need to follow this guide
If you are starting with a new phone with JB pre-installed then the previously posted guide is the way to go.

Probably not. I dont think this phone even as good as it is, I dont think got very popular. And when there isnt much popularity to a phone Developers tend to focus on the more mainstream phones..
But yea I wish their was a way to unlock it the traditional way.
Are you guys seriously talking about unlocking the RAZR hd bootloader? The one that you can unlock via Motorolas website. Or is this something completely unrelated?

I think he's talking about the XT926 Bootloader... but since there's absolutely no information in OP, one can only guess
Sent from my XT925 using xda app-developers app
I'm sure he's talking about the unlocking without using Motorola. That way no warranty is voided.
Screw warranties, I voided my cars warranty by tunning it, within the first month of owning it lol.

Hi
I'm intending to buy a "new" unlocked skyrocket and I'm confused about locking issue
is it unlocked forever??
Does rooting and installing recoveries and Roms lock it back???
Thx in advance.
If the phone is unlocked installing custom roms or rooting will not lock it. Once it's unlocked it'll stay that way so don't worry.

Thx bro
I really couldn't imagine how can we unlock forever using simply the stock ROM and some codes(no root....)
Can you plz give me root,recovery... best tutorials (the ones you used)

after installing this rom done to lock simlock ... How to unlock phone? ....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2305480
do not use that rom buddy. it is still work in progress.
and if you get a screen asking for sim unlock code, just dismiss it.
and install some other rom.
SIMLOCKED??? you need to change mainboard to make the phone work again. I've been this before, after I change mainboard everything normal, and IMEI change too

so, changing to new rom ( stock ) won't work without main board change ?
no no buddy..nothing like that! we just went a lil off topic.
you do whatever you want but before that make sure you know what you're doing.
and clear your doubts if any.

If you have Simlocked, send your phone to the Sony Center, they will help you fix the phone by change mainboard. Remember backup everything in your phone, unroot and lock bootloader before send it to Sony. I still have warranty so it's free
