[Epic 4G General] Censura_Umbra:
Is this that great? My wife has the captivate, and she bought a bunch of apps on her bill. When she flashed a Rom, she couldn't re-download them. I don't think this system of billing saves your purchased apps. And there is a block for this, in case kids access it. You can call Sprint and tell them to block 3rd party add-ons. This will make it so Sprint won't foot the bill from things like "Text 03345 to download these ringtones" I don't know if this will apply since it IS android.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
So far I have billed 2 apps, flashed a rom, and still have access. I also still have access to them on my Xoom.
[Epic 4G General] Somvang`:
That's odd. I'm able to reload my apps.

My wife's Epic gets stuck at "Authorizing purchase" but I have no issues with it on my Epic.

Why not just use Google acounts to pay? Are apps really that much you can't afford to pay for them upfront?

This can be a double edged sword for some of our younger android users:p
[Epic 4G General] crump84:
I'm getting the same error on my EVO Shift? Weird thing is, i was actually able to purchase 2 apps a couple of days ago but when I try now I get the same server error.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
as stated a few posts back, I have been having to use a Visa gift card to purchase apps that are not in USD, my bank blocks all trasactions to the UK unless you are on the ground in the UK - in which case it still takes an act of congress to let my card be used there.

Now I don't have to rely on reloading that gift card, just have to bill them to my sprint account. ;)
[7 Mozart General] Ulla2:
I today took out the SANDISK MicroSD card (16 G, type 2) from my Mozart and attempted to replace it with a similar SANDISK MicroSD card (32 G, type 2).

Well - the operation did not work! And I really wonder why? As soon as I put back in the 16 GB card, the phone worked without problems.

SANDISK MicroSD, 16 GB, type2 => Works perfectly

SANDISK MicroSD, 32 GB, type2 => No worky

Anyone with knowledge of any working MicroSD cards that can be recognized by the WP7/Mozart combination?

Thanks in advance.

Had a similar issue. From a cold boot, hold down volume up & volume-down, then press the power button. it will initialize the card

Hi,

Is it possible to remove the dockbar form LauncherPro ? Or even hide it ?
[General Questions and Answers] InGeNeTiCs:
Remove all the shortcuts and turn off the dock background. That should do it.
[General Questions and Answers] 2clubbers:
Ok, so removing works good.

Could you also help me with changing dock in LauncherPro ? I downloaded new docks from xda, and want to replace the old one. How to do that ?

Member My_Immortal , try it and it dosen`t work ! !

Waiting now for Devlopers , Zdziho , J. , Trip. , Bin4ry and other ......

update1 :

its work ! we can generate codes , but now we have to test it on FastBoot !

NEED TESTORS !

* you can try to genreate youre unlock code by write your information here : http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions

**don`t foget to remove last chart (No.)

SE put this how to in Dev world : http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions

is it usefull for ower x10 ? i mean that any one how have arc play . ex try to unlock his phone then we take a look ?

bye

mods : feel free to delet , remove , move , burn ! this topic if its not important !
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
holy crap it worked!! It gave me the unlock code
[XPERIA X10 General] MrHassell:
It's useful for everyone other than x10 owners. Arc, Neo, Pro, Play
[XPERIA X10 General] MrHassell:
Is your device an x10?
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
yes!! I just tried to test and it does work...
[XPERIA X10 General] superleeds27:
Joking right?
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
100% serious it gave me the code...

I am not by a pc, I own a mac, but it gave me the code so I'm assuming it will work
[XPERIA X10 General] anders260:
sorry not funny, 1st april has already been.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
guys if you don't believe me go put in your imeis, it takes all of two seconds :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 General] superleeds27:
I entered my IMEI and it gave me an unlock code :S
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
i could be wrong but i seriously doubt that they have enabled fastboot for our devices (x10)...
[XPERIA X10 General] synn21588:
I can give a secondary confirmation that this works. I just received my key to unlock my x10. This does work. When you type in *#06# you'll get a 15 digit #, just leave off the last number and you will get your key.
[XPERIA X10 General] delbuenno:
Doesnt work for me, Says not a valid imei, please try again. but my x10 is sim locked to Orange and it says "you can’t unlock the boot loader if you have a SIM lock protected phone."

Edit: ^^Just left off the last digit of the IMEI and it gave me a code...
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
getting the unlock code is fine but does the device come up/shown for:

13. Enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version, and verify that you get a response back (for example "0.3"). This means your phone is connected properly.

Note! If Fastboot displays <waiting for device>, check the host for USB device status. If any unknown devices are present, then check the driver installation. If your phone boots as normal and Fastboot is not starting, even though the USB drivers are working, the boot loader on your phone CANNOT be unlocked.

14. Warning! If you perform this step, you will unlock the boot loader and which may void your warranty. If you want to unlock the boot loader of your phone, enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY, where KEY is the 14 character unlock boot loader key you got from the Unlock boot loader web page. You have now successfully unlocked the boot loader in your phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] cruzin_cruzing:
True, it did work. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
then why provide the codes?

I wish I had a pc to test it ughhh
[XPERIA X10 General] RaDi:
hehehe !

this is my first topic her !

hope it`s usefull !
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Now that is truly a treat.

I am re-gaining respect for sony.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
someone with a pc please test and post results...

I'm so curious now
[XPERIA X10 General] superleeds27:

[XPERIA X10 General] festa20:

[XPERIA X10 General] RaDi:
i will edit the main topic now ,,

need some one to test this !
[XPERIA X10 General] BackOrLay:
Yes you get the code if correct IMIE but..........

You cannot complete the unlocking procedure as previously advised by SE...Just tried just incase it was another SE surprise :(
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
I just tested it.

As expected, X10 cannot connect to Fastboot.

This code means nothing. It is generated by the IMEI, as simple as that.

But we can't get into Fastboot, meaning it is useless. :(
[XPERIA X10 General] -- X10B --:
I want to try but i dont want to brick my phone hehehe.

So gudluck guys.
[XPERIA X10 General] Fiddich:
I just tried it, just kept saying invalid IMEI. O well, Im not surprised at all

Edit: Removed the last digit and it gave me the code.
[XPERIA X10 General] kinglargo:
did you try the 14 first digits only?
[XPERIA X10 General] cruzin_cruzing:
Not the whole code, just the first 14 digits.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
Is there a way maybe we could spoof fastboot?
[XPERIA X10 General] cruzin_cruzing:
Fastboot is built into the bootloader of the device, so it's probably impossible. :mad:
[XPERIA X10 General] CoopZor:
I'm waiting for a def to reply, then i go to sleep :)
[XPERIA X10 General] BackOrLay:
You have allready been informed. This procedure cannot be performed on X10..You can go to bed now...
[XPERIA X10 General] ledn:
Just in case I did generate a code :)
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
our devices, as of now, dont have a dedicated "unlock button" (step 10 of the unlock steps)

i tried the following:

connected device via flashmode and then ran

fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version

but it just keeps saying "< waiting for device >"

also tried modifying/changing the flashmode drivers by the one supplied on SE site but they are not accepted

so in short i think this is a no-go for X10 users.... :(

though things might change once we get GB update

for those who's devices are in the last few weeks of they warranty period/or enthusiastic enough can get the unlock code and keep it for future reference... might be useful in case SE decide to unlock X10 bootloader [eventually] (may be? / wishful thinking)

EDIT:

P.S.:- ppl should keep a watch on the Arc Development section... may be something useful might come up for us X10 users...
[XPERIA X10 General] Crowds:
this is definitely a no go procedure for us.

I`ve tried every possible combinations of pressing buttons to enter on that so called "fastboot" so pc ask me for usb drivers and...nop, niente, nada, zip :mad::mad::mad::mad:
[XPERIA X10 General] anantshri:
I am not a dev however i do understand that this seems to be some new change in bootloader code that is allowing them to unlock using the code provided. may be just maybe reverse engineering on ARC or any latest handset might allow us to do same here however not anytime soon per my understanding.

so we should be focusing on bootloader bypass method which we have discovered.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
*ignore or delete
[XPERIA X10 General] egyptshun:
I got a code but Im too wuss to put it in :$
[XPERIA X10 General] MrHassell:
fastboot

X10 owners can chill out and safely rest assured, this is not going to work unless you have one of these devices.

Please note! It will only be possible to unlock the boot loader for certain releases of the following phone models.

Sony Ericsson Xperia TM PLAY

Sony Ericsson Xperia TM arc

Sony Ericsson Xperia TM pro

Sony Ericsson Xperia TM neo

Any phone will be able to retrieve the code from the web service, using any IMEI. There is no way of applying this to the current X10 series, as the X10 is unable to connect to fastboot, pointed out several times :)

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version

We are unable to connect and will just receive the following response.

< waiting for device >

It's good news for owners of the above listed devices in the Xperia range as pointed out by SE. There will need to be some work done for these devices to take advantage of the unlocked boot loader, it is more or less useless for now, until a modified recovery is developed for these listed devices.

X10 owners, have the bypass method stabilising day by day and maturing well. With upcoming tools to work around, so perhaps are more fortunate, as X10 owners will be able to use SEUS and revert to factory condition and claim warranty as and when required. The claim of IMEI codes used against the web service can not be used with X10 devices.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
This is kinda un-fair to the x10 users... we were here first.:(
[XPERIA X10 General] jpsolares:
Agree :confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] a2ha:
Haven't we already bypassed it?
[XPERIA X10 General] Sk4tz:
No surprise here but we already bypassed it..... so?! ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] rogem_kk:
Just wait when the crying will start once the phones will be bricked in droves. The bypass method on the X10 might actually be a blessing.
[XPERIA X10 General] -- X10B --:
Absolutely right.
[XPERIA X10 General] MrHassell:
Although it frustrated x10 owners and dev's, the bootloader bypass is in better in many regards. With bypass, you will not invalidate warranty & can return to factory defaults.

SE state clearly, devices with IMEI registered with the unlock web service, are no longer covered by warranty. Let's say I've been running FreeX10 beta4 & FreeXperia CM7 with xRecovery to switch over.. all I need do is use SEUS to return to factory defaults, backup my data & send the device in for repairs, covered by warranty!

Those who used the unlock web service, just lost this consumer right, when they used the service and for what reward? There's no custom recovery available to even take advantage of having an unlocked boot loafer.. lol
[XPERIA X10 General] PoTi_96:
Nice... they lost their warranty for fresh air :D

I sent my phone into repair WITH custom ROM (when the first GB ROM came out) and i didn't have to pay -> warranty

They don't care about the software... they only check IMEI (and now kernel...). i know someome who works there and he told me that ^^
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Im more than happy with the bootloader bypass. Id probably be to affraid to deal with a cracked bootoader anyways. If you brick it, your screwed. At least with the bypass we will eventually get all the same options as if it were cracked but if **** hits the fan, we have flashtool and seus to save our ass.

read out a thread in arc forum..it helps..i m on miui with custom kernel..seus and sepc dont identify my phone..lolzz..
[XPERIA X10 General] Keshukas:
Hi people

I think you first need to install drivers (SingleBootLoaderInterface = "Android Bootloader Interface") and then only to generate the unlock code.

10. Push and hold the unlock button* on your phone .....

11. You will now be asked for drivers. Point to the usb_driver-folder where you placed the android_winusb.inf-file, and select the Android Bootloader Interface-file. If you are not asked for drivers, and your phone starts to boot as usual, it is not possible to unlock the boot loader on your phone.

This does not work with x10i :(

Sorry for my bad English
[XPERIA X10 General] Pawnty:

The X10 does not have Fastboot access. This thread is useless.

[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
What if we were to change values in the build.prop to fool the program? Like how there was debranding your phone by region some time ago but instead replace values from our build.prop with say the arc's?
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Yeah but since it does not work..

The collection of their data is pointless and will be discarded.

We dont need a unlocked loader.

the exploits we have are good enough for the job.

[XPERIA X10 General] Ghaith Alshareef:
from SE

((( For earlier products such as the Xperia™ X10, we cannot allow the boot loader to be unlocked due to technical and legal reasons. )))

my comment

what the hell is the technicl and legal reasons just open it and let's work

source
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
that is... odd. WHY?

It's worse than that stuff they said about the x10 and 2.1 VS 2.2.

Wolfbreaks rom shatters that quote by a mile.
[XPERIA X10 General] gautampw:
it doesnt work!
[XPERIA X10 General] svtfmook:
because the x10a originally came with att software. having the ability to unlock x10's could potentially allow a user to exploit att software, which is against att TOS.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Are you serious?
[XPERIA X10 General] svtfmook:
this is the only viable answer i could come up with. there's nothing legally bound on 1.6 and 2.1 android to prevent it from being unlocked since they have been unlocked on other devices for quite some time. the only thing i can think of, is that x10a's had att navigator preinstalled, and att is such tight wads with their software that they could have had an agreement with sony to not allow the x10a to be unlocked. and sony knows if the x10i can be unlocked, the x10a could be as well.

the only other reason i can think of is the moxier suite.

what sony could do, is release an update that does not include 3rd party apps, then allow that firmware to be unlocked. however, since the bootloader is not bound to /system or /data, you could still unlock the bootloader on previous firmwares.
[XPERIA X10 General] Einzeln:
If that's the case it kinda makes me feel like a douche for owning an x10a. granted i replaced the at&t software just days after my phone arrived.
[XPERIA X10 General] Driveskull:
Hm. But xperia x8,x10mini pro and mini are never phones than big x10 they dont come oryginally from att so its something else
[XPERIA X10 General] Flo95:
Nice that the X10 gets a code, even when it's a device from 2010, hopefully we'll have a solution for fast boot soon and have a fully unlocked bootloader.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
You are forgetting all SE system apps that legally bound to be protected for the developers, including the CAMERA. SE also has a legal responsibility to protect Apple's patent on Multitouch, which I know there is still argument if it is a hardware issue or a bootloader issue. Nonetheless SE still has a legal responsibility to enforce its agreements with partners made before the device ever hit the market. Period.
[XPERIA X10 General] svtfmook:
do they have moxier suite?
[XPERIA X10 General] svtfmook:
than that's it then.
[XPERIA X10 General] wolfilein:
as i now

if you can see on the fastboot oem command that it can't work on the x10

because oem beans that this is a special command from the maintainer, fastboot itself is provided by google.

but also you won't loose your whoole waranty if you unlock your new phone and in the united States you wont loose it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_jailbreaking#United_States_legal_issues )
[XPERIA X10 General] brandoncw:
Please correct me if I'm wrong... Bootloader contains fastboot. So, if we can put an ARC bootloader in an X10 we can access fastboot. Correct?
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
arc,play,neo all have multitouch and the bootloader is unlocked. That thing about apple isn't true. Do some research on it....
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Do you think the kernel exploit could do this?

I think the chances are very low that it would boot..

Mabey if some house cleaning is done, like alot... "a small loader"
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
I did. The multi touch on the play and arc is different than the iPhone or X10, loosely called Next Generation multi touch (10 points). Therefore, they are not legally bound to that patent.

Besides different technology, SE would have a new agreement with the new devices, and patents only last 7 years.

Have any of you ever tried to break a contract? On any level it is illegal, unless the other party relieves you of you duty to deliver on what was promised, or a judge deems the contract null and void. SE can't just rewrite the past, they can only avoid such limitations in the future.
[XPERIA X10 General] svtfmook:
i think what he's thinking is possibly fooling SEUS or pccompanion into flashing an arc bootloader onto the x10, then unlocking it that way. but i doubt that would work since i believe the imei of the phone would be for the x10.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Would it not be possible to spoof that imei some how?

Nvm.. i'm just digging in the dark..
[XPERIA X10 General] svtfmook:
not sure, i would imagine the imei would be hard coded into the hardware.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
If we could just locate where within the boot loader it detects the imei and some how set that to something usable.

:edit
[XPERIA X10 General] svtfmook:
may not be the imei, could be any type of hardware identity.

maybe easier to make SEUS or pccompanion think the arc bootloader is an x10 bootloader.
[XPERIA X10 General] epastinante:
I´ve enter my IMEI and got my Code, but anyone note that its only for:

Please note! It will only be possible to unlock the boot loader for certain releases of the following phone models.
