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

Anybody Please ?
Hi everyone
I have a HTC Rhyme and i unlock the bootloader without flashing a custom unsigned ROM to my phone, i didnt change my software; it is as it is
My question is that will my phone still get the ICS update or not
thnks
Hi guys,
I paid £2.99 for a SIM unlock code off Ebay for my HTC One X (the seller had 99.6% positive reviews so seemed okay) but it didn't work after trying twice.
When I contacted the seller he told me I needed to unroot, go back to stock ROM and lock the Bootloader. I used the rooting method below and since I didn't flash a ROM I thought this meant I'm still 'stock'.
My questions are:
(1) Since I never flashed a ROM I am still stock, right?
(2) Why would I need to unroot and relock the Bootloader?
(3) How many more unlock attempts do I have?
Thanks in advance for your time.
My rooting method was (i) unlock bootloader (ii) flashed CWM with fastboot command and then installed SU from Zip using CWM.
Phone: HTC One X on T-Mobile (EE) in the UK
Android version 4.1.1
1. Yes if you still using the ROM that came with your phone your still on stock.
2. I don't know why you should unroot and relock the bootloader since i never tried unlocking SIM.
3. You could unlock and relock your phone as many times as you want.
Hi everyone!
I want to instal custom ROM on my smartphone, but i have one problem with that. In service menu i can see something like that "bootloader unlock allowed no". Can i solve my problem alone in home?
I will be grateful for any help.
If you have "bootloader unlock allowed no", then you can install only stock based ROMs. Unfortunatelly, you won't be able to install CyanogenMod. I have the same problem and i understand that pain :/. You can only root but can't unlock BL, unless you will pay for this (not me, i have no idea how to do that)
Sock ROM
Hi guys,i have this problem too...my xperia E is bootloader status unlock : NO... Please can you give me link to Stock roms? My phone is rooted....Thanks.
There is way to unlock it even if flag is no, but its paid method i did it with my xperia e you will need to find someone with setool2 to do it for you but like i said its not free.
..I was already told by a friend here that if I again flash a stock rom in my sm-900p phone which I got unlocked for international GSM use (using from India) , it won't get locked again ...with all due respect to the friend who affirmed me already that it won't get locked ,can anyone else confirm that to me please ? I am not able to dare to flash the stock rom....since two days I am just waiting to take that step..presently I am using darkwolf rom but I want to flash with stock rom so that bootloader and modem gets updated and then on that version,I will flash this rom again ..that's my plan
If you mean will lock your bootloader, yes .
It will not lock your network again, if you already had a sim unlock/network unlock, it will remain as that even if you reflash, lock status is in a different memory not in the one overwritten by your ROM.
If you are talking about the bootloader, none of my motorola , samsung or htc devices relockes the bootloader once you have unlocked it, you have to manually relock it if you want to do that by any reason.
