Odp: [TIP]How to Re-Lock Bootloader
So this way I can restore Xperia J warranty in T-Mobile for example?

Tried this on ST21i, flashing was hanging at 82% for a while, had to abort. BL remained rooted
Edited: Try this one . It's for miro but it worked. Returned to 'ROOTABLE', which was its original state

This link you provided is for Miro. Are you sure it's safe?

Worked on my tipo. I was back on stock rom, in case that matters

Thanks Bro.
But funny thing is, The ftf which is provided particularly did not work, and this is working good.:cyclops::highfive:

I want unlocked botloader and I can't unlock it because my phone unlock allowed NOOO :'( the sad irony
Sent from my ST21i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

No. Relocking boot loader only relocks the bootloader. That doesn't give us our warranty back.
If we have our drm Keys back, and the bootloader locked, then we can have our warranty back.
Drm keys can be backed up'd using TA. backup

E1 relock
to relock the E1 model, nothing more than Androxydes flash-tool + drivers are required.
using OP 's file - made for a different model than E1 (i.e. "Miro") - does not seem advisable.
I unlocked & relocked my E1 with F-T and PC-companion does not complain a bit.
or has anyone tested the OP's file with the xperia E1 model ?

Use the search next time.
It has been reported that the UnlockRoot tool works fine for Xperia E. Use that.

Yeah, I actually DID use search!

Pardon me if I've mistaken what the above sentence means!
It's also bloomin difficult to search for a device called "Xperia E" when any threads that contain the phrase "Xperia E Dual" also return :/
Oh, also, I have actually tried UnlockRoot and it does NOT work.
Thanks

Strange. Well, euhh, try Bin4ry tool, might work for you.
I know it works on some new JB Xperia devices such as Xperia Z, so therefore it might work for your Xperia E.
My apologies about the previous post, it was my understanding that it worked for Xperia E single, as I've read some posts somewhere that it did.

If you're willing to unlock the boot loader you can always flash a boot image with recovery (e.g. FXP213) and install the flashable Superuser zip.

but wont work on stock rom....coz fxp kernel is based on 3.0.8 and stock kernel of e is 3.4 .... correct me if i am wrong.....i am searching for a way to root this phone too....

Doesn't matter, you can just flash back to the stock boot image after installing Superuser from recovery.

now if all went wel lur phone has a locked xperia e dual sim bootloader..
now all u have to do is install update centre and update ur phone..
Peace.

Greetings,
I'm trying to unlock and root my friend's Xperia E so we can delete all the unwanted apps (e.g. Facebook), but I'm afraid that both of us have little experience rooting any phone. I did read bg.shishir's explanation above this post, but it simply confused me. Could someone please give me a clear walk-through on how to root the phone or how to delete the apps? I'm very much willing to learn, but there are a lot of terms/steps I don't understand, because the implicit steps are expected to be understood, which is I'm afraid not the case for me. I posted my issue here since it seemed to be the most relevant thread.
Sincerely yours,
ItsForAFriend

Root Accomplished!!
Guys to root your Xperia E...pls refer to this guide .... Root Xperia E

Awesome i had to go the long root cuz i couldnt find stock ftf...
Please post a link?

if anyone is still looking for a easy root solution, check out SRSRoot (not allowed to post links yet)
it worked perfect on my xperia E (c1505) with LOCKED bootloader from Vodafone (Portugal)
just download it, install (make sure you also have adb drivers installed) and select "Root Device (All Methods)"
after that, a menu will pop up on the cellphone itself asking you to select which exploit (they got lord of the ring names lol) Gandalf worked for me.

[Q] Sony don't send me boot loader's unlock code

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
Sent from my Xperia E dual using xda app-developers app

Bro...just make sure that your botloader is unlockable...and if it says bootloader unlock allowed,then try it a few more times..u got my code third time..
Thank me if I helped you!!!

Only enter the first 14 digits, and check your spams folder

Still ne mail with code

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

For now there's no way we can unlock bootloader because our device is using mediatek chipset..unlike others Xperia device which using Qualcomm chipset..

Just let Sony unlock the bootloader in the upcoming updates. ... u will get to know this in the same above menu where the status will become yes!

Sony Xperia Tipo [Unlock Bootloader]

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
