Hi
All
I have got a very quick question to ask and hope somebody can help me. I have got an Xperia play R800i. I used a program called SuperOneClick to root my phone. After using this program I got superuser access so that means my phone is rooted. But how do i unlock the bootloader.
Because according to the sony erricsson website when i type in that code *#*#7378423#*#* into my phone it says that i can not unlock my bootloader. I dont understand if i have rooted my phone my bootloader should be unlock write. Please correct me if i am wrong.
Also do i need an unlocked bootloader to install CyanogenMod 7 on my phone even if i have rooted it.
Many
Thanks
Mohammed
Anybody Please ?
Hi I have a Sony xperia s with the build number 6.0.A.3.62 but my bootloader is locked is there anyway that I can root my device on this build without unlocking my bootloader ? I'm new at this so any help is appreciated. Thank you
You could try SuperOneClick or UnlockRoot. Those are two PC based programs. You run them, plug in your phone and click the Root button, and then if it is possible to root your phone without unlocking the bootloader, one of those tools will most likely be able to do it.
If neither work, it probably isn't possible without unlocking the bootloader. But look in the device specific forum for your device for more guidance before unlocking the bootloader.
EDIT: It looks like currently you must unlock the bootloader for the Xperia S. There is no working exploit for rooting. The tools I advised above won't work. If you're not willing to unlock your bootloader, you can't root at this time.
Hi, guys
I'm new to XDA so if this is the wrong subforum for this kind of question just tell me where to post it.
So I recently bought a new phone, a Hisense U800 Infinity H6.
I installed an OTA, and then rooted the device using Kingo on windows out of desperation (No other rooting method available).
When I try to do a OTA update now, I get a message in broken chinese-english that says:
"Your phone has been root or by brush! "
It's quite obvious that my rooting the phone revoked ota privileges. I've tried unrooting and it doesnt work, also, there is no recovery available for my device.
Is there a way I can restore this?
Any help would be appreciated.

Additional Info:
Using Fast boot i was able to determine that the bootloader is unlocked.
Now i don't know if Kingo did this or if it was unlocked by default. I guess i should've checked this first.

Or if anyone can tell me how to fix the ringing volume thats not responding to volume down. Either maximum or off.

Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist Since you have unlocked bootloader there is no way to relock it hence even if you flash stock chances are high system will detect bootloader unlock.
Good Luck!
Hi all,
I have a query and I hope you can help me. If this is a wrong forum please direct me to the correct one.
I have a Sony Xperia Z3 (D6653) on Android 5.5.1. I have done following -
I installed kingroot from their website and ran it. I got root access which was checked by root checker.
When I restarted, I lost my root access.
Having done some reasearch, I proceeded to unlock the boot loader. It has now been unlocked successfully but the phone was reset to factory setting.
I have then tried the king root method. Again I got the root access, but lost it after reboot. I thought unlocking the boot loader will fix this but it hasnt.
Please help and advise what options I have now ?
Regards

Hello everyone I have managed to root the ZTE MAX DUO LTE (Z963vl) with KingRoot but the root is not perminate it goes away after you reboot the phone.. I figure that the reason for this is because the bootloader is still locked. I also can not write to /system with lucky patcher which again tells me the bootloader is locked even though the phone is rooted. Does anyone have any way to fix this without a PC? Also I almost forgot to mention that it won't let you update BusyBox either. I waited a very long time for this phone to acquire root but it's almost useless with the bootloader being locked. I can't even flash a recovery like CWM or TWRP. Please help as much as you can thank you.
