[Q] Unlocking bootloader with a Mac...
thanks for the post. ive been reading hundreds of pages here in preparation to root my phone (XPERIA E/c1504.) i know that unlocking the bootloader is step one, so your guide is pretty helpful, but i'm on a mac! does this change any part of the process?
3)- download ADBDRIVER and install adb drivers installer on pc,open it and connect your phone to pc and install the adb drivers.
4)- download flashtool ANDROXYDE and install on pc.
i know i can get androxyde for mac, but is there a mac version of the adbdriver program?
7)- go here SONYMOBILE .
fill your details and then check your email inbox for bootloader key.
if you contact sony for the bootloader key, unlock, then lock back if you have to return it to them for warranty issues, etc., won't they know since you had to get the key from them?
thanks for your help! im a definite beginner but learning a lot from this site!

The latest Flashtool (v0.9.11.0) has "BLU" menu to make Lock/Unlock bootloader more easier.
the simple step :
1. Set up Flashtool to be ready for your device.
2. Refer to the SONY link provided in OP, and get your bootloader key
3. Connect your phone to Flashtool.
4. Click the "BLU" and follow the step.
hope that work for Xperia E,.

thanks for the post. ive been reading hundreds of pages here in preparation to root my phone (XPERIA E/c1504.) i know that unlocking the bootloader is step one, so your guide is pretty helpful, but i'm on a mac! does this change any part of the process?
3)- download ADBDRIVER and install adb drivers installer on pc,open it and connect your phone to pc and install the adb drivers.
4)- download flashtool ANDROXYDE and install on pc.
i know i can get androxyde for mac, but is there a mac version of the adbdriver program?
7)- go here SONYMOBILE .
fill your details and then check your email inbox for bootloader key.
if you contact sony for the bootloader key, unlock, then lock back if you have to return it to them for warranty issues, etc., won't they know since you had to get the key from them?
thanks for your help! im a definite beginner but learning a lot from this site!

here you go for adb for mac - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237

okay your next question is quite good. first when I unlocked my bootloader and faced bootloop. I got my phone a Sony service centre. the guy there took my phone on warranty and tried to reinstall software through sus (works only on locked bootloader). then when he was unsuccessful he told me software modified and I got my phone back
so I don't think you will have any issue with warranty.
you can get any Xperia phone's bootloader key in your inbox just by knowing its imei.
so no issues at all.
P.S : rooting can also be done on a locked Xperia e

Syed.Zeshan said:
this guide is for anyone having trouble unlockin bootloader.
note: unlocking bootloader voids your warranty but hey you can relock your bootloader and your phone is under warranty once again
note : after unlocking bootloader of Xperia e c1504/1505 c1504 goes into bootloop and in some cases c1505 also faces bootloop.so backup all your data.
1)- open the dialler
and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access
the service menu. In your device, tap Service info >
Configuration > Rooting Status . If
Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes,
then you can continue unlocking your phone..
if its no then please stop and don't try the next steps.
2)- go to developer options in your phone and enable usb debugging and in security options tick on allow installation of non market apps.
3)- download http://adbdriver.com/upload/AdbDriverInstaller.exe and install adb drivers installer on pc,open it and connect your phone to pc and install the adb drivers.
4)- download flashtool http://androxyde.github.io/index.html?1350585408000 and install on pc.
5)-open flashtool folder>flash tool drivers>flash tool drivers and then select fastboot drivers and flashmode drivers and install them.
6)- download http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426292 and extract it adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.zip and place in on your desktop/any other drive.
7)- go here http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/node/add/ubs-request?token=eff07a162ac0f98cb19eae2b99647ffc .
fill your details and then check your email inbox for bootloader key.
8)- Turn off your device.On your device, hold the volume up at the same time as
you connect the device to the computer
with a USB-cable. (volume up is the fastboot button)
9)- on your pc start>type cmd and open a command prompt and navigate to adb_fastboot_and_other_tools folder . if you don't know how to use a command prompt then. see this http://m.youtube.com/watch?client=mv-google&gl=IN&hl=en-GB&v=foYsmpDrYjY&fulldescription=1
10)- Enter 'fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar' without the single qoutes in the command prompt and verify that you get a
response back (for example "0.3"). This
means your device is connected
properly.
11)- enter 'fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock
0xKEY' ,without single quotes where KEY is the unlock boot
loader key you got in step 7 .. after doing this you will get reply as done on pc and your bootloader will be unlocked.
using the above instructions you can unlock other Xperia also which has bootloader unlock allowes to be yes.backup your data before unlocking.only the fastboot buttons will vary. you can get it here -
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/fastboot-buttons
steps precisely for Xperia e c1504/1505 facing bootloop after unlocking bootloader -
1)- download stock ftf file https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetNS13Mmk4WEhrUTA/edit?pli=1 and copy it in flashtool>firmwares.
2)open flashtool click thunder icon select flash mode and select the stock ftf.
3)- connect Xperia e as shown in step 8 but with. holding volume down button instead of volume up. you will get a green led
4)- original firmware will get flashed and initial startup will take about 5 minutes. so be patient.
steps for relocking Xperia e bootloader
1)- download https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetYmh2V0l5Q0dFQW8/edit?usp=sharing
2)- flash it in same way as you flashed the original firmware..
note)- after relocking bootloaDer//on a locked bootloader if you face bootloop then use Sony update engine (download from official website) to flash original firmware.
hope my thread helps.

[q] cannot flash cm10

Hey there, i have rooted my phone using SRS Root, unlocked my bootloader. But whenever i tried to flash CM10 Rom, the cmd or flashtool keeps telling me ''The device is not ROOTED''. it says my device is not rooted?bullsh*t !. please help, im still a newb at this.
p/s. i've also bricked my phone once, but i did unbricked it. after that, whenever i want to flash using fastboot, it says my device is not rooted. could bricking it be the problem?

Switch off the phone
Extract the CM10 update.zip
Reboot into fastboot (press Vol + key while inserting USB cable)
Kick the Lighting button -> Fastboot Mode -> Flash Kernel.
Chose the boot.img from above extracted file.
Reboot the Phone, keep continously pressing vol - key while the Sony Logo appears.
Install from Zip, chose the complete update.zip from above.
Wipe Cache/Data.
Your done!

I had the same problem. If you want to do it by yourself then
1. Download the firmware for ur device from
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetVVhrVkRDdlpwSHc/preview
2. Download XPERIA Flashtool from
Flashtool link: http://www.firmwaremobile.com/index.php/xperiadownload/file/233-flashtool-9-2014
3. paste the ftf file downloaded in step 1) to folder „Firmware“ included in the XPERIA Flashtool
4. open the XPERIA Flashtool, click on flash and choose downloaded firmware, than click ok. Important - if you do not want to delete any data of your phone, just uncheck flashing userdata.sin file. All data will remain in your phone, but sometimes it can cause additional troubles. So it is better (and I recommend that) to do the backup of your personal data, than proceed with clean installation and then restore your personal data.
5) *turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button*
6) after few minutes all is done and your phone gets started

Before trying backup ta cuz if it brick you can restore from backup or brick ta mean hard brick device that only sony can fix.
This trick worked on Xperia e1 so maby work on E3 also.

Does this method works on Xperia E3 D2206/D2243??
Does this method work with Xperia E3 D2206/D2243 ?? @vinay What do you think?
I am telling this because around a half month ago, I get rooted in my phone (D2206 model) using D2203 boot img file. Thanks for all

@lexiyuri I believe you can flash lollypop aosp and use this method to root it.
I wanna tell you that D2212 root method work on d2202 cause it supports it's kernel. Now sony released 4.4.4 on d2202 and I,ve flashed d2202 FTF on my D2212 and it is working like charm.
And an FTF contains
Boot
System
Fotakernel
Userdata
And may more.
But aosp only contains userdata.img system.img boot.img and I bet it will work.
Cause in FTF we need all partition,s compatible but in aosp just 3 and if you see cycle of phone boot you only need one compatible and it is boot which is already compatible.
