I tried the unlock process on Sony's developer site with two different emails. Mail.com and Web.de. How long does it normally take for Sony to answer, seconds or weeks? Anyone lucky in the past 3 days?
I hope someone can provide a functionning email provider or get the code for me?
I'm waiting for 3 days now and if the sony site was automated then it must be broken. Just in case this was true, is there any workaround? I didn't found one so far. Maybe the code could be read on some partition on my phone?
I made a TA-Backup and Service Menu says "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes".
Don't know if I have rights on this. Im getting mad about Sony. I need to flash the kernel. Please help! :crying:
[SOLVED]
I tried again using a new t-online.de address. Worked in seconds.
I'm sorry, that I thought the Sony Site was down or laggy.

Hi guys,
I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S (LT18i) with a locked bootloader and I bought a credit at www.simpleunlock.co.uk site to unlock it (very good price, 10£).
I used the method as referred in the instructions: Here
I also used a paperclip to do the GND-TESTPOINT connection.
The result is this:
Waiting phone attach...OK
Connect to [ZEUS Flash Device]
Writing QCLoader...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But the process hangs in here FOREVER.
After this is says "Fail" as if the driver has no permissions to write.
Can this be the TestPoint? Can this be the simpleunlock.co.uk software?
Has anyone tried this with this site? Or anyone has seen this issue?
I am hoping that someone says "they don't do that. ask for refund and go for Omnius" or something like "that's what happens when you don't have the testpoint connected. Get another paperclip.".
Thanks to everyone that tries to help us out.
******** EDIT **********
The guys at www.simpleunlock.co.uk did a full refund.
The "Omnius" online service worked flawlessly
Cheers

Is simpleunlock.co.uk a SCAM?!
The guys at SimpleUnlock stopped responding to my Help requests.
I went for the Omnius online service and the unlock worked right from the first attempt.
Now I'm asking for a Full Refund to Simpleunlock.co.uk
Here's the refund email:
Your message has been correctly sent to our Customer Service.
Your message: Hi.
I need a refund of my 1 credit that has not been used.
It doesn't work on my LT18i, and I've tried several times as your support send me the pictures and instructions.
Now i have unlocked the bootloader using the Omnius service.
So since yours didn't work, I need a full refund. It's 9.99£ to my PayPal account, that has exactly the same email.

I'm also linking this thread to their Customer Service..
I'll post back news about the outcome of this.
Phk
Full refund received!
Ok, simpleunlock.co.uk can be trusted.
Just don't use it for LT18 Use Omnius instead
Thanks for your contributions and help

Hi,
I did research using uncle google but I can't find any good answer.
So the question is: Is possible to unlock boot loader with any other method than official sony web site?
I'm interested if it's even test point method because on my J "Bootloader unlock Status" says No.
Maybe I should flash something jet like simlock.sin?
Any ideas?
Phone was sim locked before but it is already (sim) unlocked by code, unfortunately status remain the same.
Can anyone help with that?

Hello, first time in this super forum, i have sony xperia j original with stock rom and last update; cause some lag and various stop and reset i decided to pass to custom rom; i followed the obvious site of sony for first step, unlock the boot loader ( my phone is unblock-able ) so continue with the form that ask me imei name and email...but...
Sony don't want to send me anything.....
Some ideas?
Thxs
Unblock-able?????
Hello,
So you aren't getting any code from Sony? And what do you mean with unblock-able? That the bootloader cannot be unlocked? If that's the case, ofcourse you don't get a code from Sony! Your bootloader cannot be unlocked! How should they send you a code if you can't unlock your bootloader?
That is my interpretation of the word unblock-able, you're using... Maybe it means something else, so correct me if I'm wrong...
Kind regards and goodluck,
MatsPunt

xperia j 's bootloader is unlockable not unblockable before sending imei number u should confirm that imei is exactly the same as in your phone and the problem can be because u r entering a wrong email address thoroughly check the email address u r entering on sony's site and enter only 14 digits of ur imei number (remove from backside if required )
hit thanks button if i've helped u

Trying for a month now to get the code for my arc s an xperia s and they just wont send it. Everything is checked and rechecked on bouth phones but there is is big NO from sony.
YES, the both phones have bootloader unlock status to yes. I guess they simply stoped and forgot to say it to everyone
If you are using Arc or Arc S , unlock Bootloader using EZ-Unlock App, beware since I am not responsible for bricked devices
I've been trying to unlock the bootloader on my phone and I checked if my phone is able to be unlocked... it does.
Only thing that is preventing me from doing so is that I don't get an email back from Sony after I enter my IMEI code and email and stuff.
It's been a day and I tried like 4-5 times. No email. What to do? I'm frustrated

Hey there..
I would recommend you to head on to this thread as it gives a detailed info about rooting your xperia s..
Follow each and every step carefully as unlocking bootloader is a very dangerous process and might hard brick your device if not properly done..
Cheers.
Thanks for answering! But this tutorial still mentions about getting the "unique unlock key" from the official sony site, which I can't receive.

Better check the junk/spam folder too.
Or maybe wait for a little more time like maybe 2 days.
and if even then you don't get any email, then better contact them via the online consumer assistance.
The details of which can be found on the sony website.
Good luck.
Hello guys , I am trying to unlock the bootloader of my sony xperia tipo!
Sony Xperia Tipo does not exist on the list of the devices on Sony's website. . .
My device Rooting Status allowed to unlock bootloader but Sony does not want to help
1-2 years ago the site was different... All Sony devices were available to unlock bootloader with IMEI
Can someone help me please? , I really need to get my IMEI's code in order to unlock the bootloader :silly:
Same Problem
-Bump-
Well after a long fight i finally came to the part "enter unlock code" and then it's over.
I don't understand why Sony cancelled the Bootloader Unlocking-Support for this device.
But im pretty sure the superbrains here at xda can show us a way to unlock the Bootloader anyways (maybe without code, oder did some1 write a code-generator?)
There must be an unofficial way! (at least i hope so)
Best Regards,
Zockermike
[Solved]
LOL, I just solved it by myself:
Go to sonys unlock site, pick a device of your choice (meine worked with sony xperia mini or mini pro, dont know^^) and enter your mail.
They send you a link, you enter the imei and get the code. Now after you prepared your computer retarding to one of the endless tutorials out there
you put your device into Fastboot mode. Now care: Flash-Tool doesnt work, a simple cmd does nonentheless.
So you open your cmd and type:
Fastboot devices
if your devices appears here, you simply enter the copied comman you got from sony (they provide you with a full command line) and hit "enter".
After that, your bootloader is unlocked. You see how desperate i was, but it worked, LOL
Keep us updated
Best Wishes,
Zockermike
