I know the bootloader is locked.

Anyway

I bought my mobile from amazon.co.uk:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuel-The-Droid:
I tried flashing a new firmware but it didnt do any thing! The lock was still there! So only thing left is we gotta unlock the bootloader...dont worrl we will relock it again! But you will loose track id (can get it back from market/ play store) and the thumbs up stuff for Facebook in music player! I will try to get them back...all of it! So you ready to unlock the boot loader...its the only way from where i see it!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuel-The-Droid:
Unlocking the bootloader will do a factory reset (for security purpose ). So this should solve the problem. But if it doesn't...i got other stuff too! Dont worry! :-)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] web.designer.iq:
How can i unlock the boot loader please?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuel-The-Droid:
Please visit this thread...

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] web.designer.iq:
haha that's so funny! because i don't know my IMEI :D

Is there any idea to know that?

I just have the serial number
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radkor:
Use WotanServer for flashing. It's now free and it will remove phone lock code:

You don't need to root your phone or unlock bootloader.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] web.designer.iq:
Thanks..

But which firmware should i install AND from where?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beranchoi:
use 2.3.4 .42FW
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuel-The-Droid:
If the other method doesn't work for you then you can find your IMEI number beneath the battery! :-)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] web.designer.iq:
This app isn't FREE !!! any Idea?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuel-The-Droid:
This worked for anyone? Cause flashing a new firmware never erases the data, cache or whatever is needed here!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radkor:
What are you talking about? Maybe SEUS isn't clearing the data but Flashtool and Wotan do!

First, try to flash your phone with Flashtool with these options selected. If it not help try Wotan. If the wrote that flashing with their soft removes phone lock it does it really.

No it's free at the moment, can't you read? ;)

"And now best of all comes – to celebrate WotanServer 5th BDay we do offer WotanServer for FREE. All you need to do is to use your old ID and password or create New Account and you are read to update your phone. Happy Flashing!"
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuel-The-Droid:
Thanks for enlightening!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valy_cta:
Repairing it PC Companion I think it will bring it to the initial setting (factory) and this means factory by everthing. I'm not sure about the password, but it should do it too. This means contacts, messages, data, apps lost. Maybe it will work...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] web.designer.iq:
Thanks for everything.

But, What is "Service Button"? Where is located on Xperia Arc?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mandarjoshiin:
Mate, after reading all these posts, I came to know that u r not much aware about ur cell and about flashing/unlocking.. If u wanna take my suggestion, as ur cell is new, and as u r not much aware.. Dont take chances.. Go to ur nearest service center and they'll unlock the cell without any problem.. later on u can learn and try different roms on ur cell... But I dont want u to end up bricking ur new cell by doing something wrong...

Hit Thanks if my post helped u... :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subhankar.ds:
Absulately correct....if SESUS dose note resolve the same.....
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] web.designer.iq:
I've fixed that by "Update Service" application.

I've reinstalled the OS on my device.

Everything is OK now.

[LG Revolution] Silicon Knight:
So I am using a custom made ICS/Nexus Style Lockscreen. but for a widget i want the same things that comes with the lockscreen in this picture. Not the Slider part, i already have the one i want, but the part that Shows the Time and Date, Shows when Charging, and Shows number of Missed Calls and Text Msg's. Is there any way I can do this or can someone make it for me. and it would be nice if i could get the icons in the actual slider to be the same, and show the number of calls and texts on there as well. Can someone make this for me PLEASE ! lol

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
[LG Revolution] Silicon Knight:
this picture shows how I would like the slider to be. the icons for the Dialer and SMS also show the number of Missed calls and texts, just like the widget at the top does. I think this is a hella sleek and nice lockscreen setup. So if someone could help me out, i would be extremely grateful

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
[LG Revolution] elreydotcom:
That shot is from the go locker ics theme. as far as I know other lockers don't support the SMS and dialer in those particular locations. However, if you are using Adw launcher and widget locker, you can get an app named adw notifier, set that to retrieve the notifications for you, then add those icons to your lock screen. That may give you the effect you are looking for
[LG Revolution] Silicon Knight:
well i figured it wasn't already existing, but it can be made. I just dont kno how to do it. If someone could make a widgetlocker theme for me that is just like that, and the widget up top, that would be amazing ! I will even pay someone for doing it if i have to.
[LG Revolution] elreydotcom:
This is how I have mine set up. Basically, missed calls and texts are notified on my lock screen with Adw notifier

[LG Revolution] elreydotcom:
Better picture
[LG Revolution] Silicon Knight:
and your using the ICS Lockscreen from WidgetLocker as well ? cause that looks good, i like that setup. The ICS Lockscreen Pro HD app that i am using - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yolocker.icslock&feature=search_result - works pretty good, but its not customizable at all like the one on widgetlocker. So I think I am going to go with your setup.
[LG Revolution] elreydotcom:
Yeah I like the way that locker theme has those notification areas in the top arc, but widget locker feels faster, and looks cleaner, plus I can add phantom music control and my track change icons will appear when a song is playing
[LG Revolution] Silicon Knight:
Exactly. The custom Widgets and being able to set a separate wallpaper for your lockscreen and home screen just like I can on my iPod touch 4th Gen. Is really dope imo.

[LG Revolution] Silicon Knight:
I finally found app/widgets that does almost exactly like what I was originally looking for. Check out this app called "MissedIT" It works perfectly. And you can use it with your widgetlocker lockscreen

Anyone else using this on B. O. and having issues with screen freezing randomly when waking the phone up?
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Not as bad as before the update, but yes. This has been a long standing issue for as long as it's been around.

I'm not sure WL is without issues on any ROM/Stock.
[LG Revolution] capt730:
It's a shame, I really like the way it works, but at least twice a day I was having to reboot my phone with the screen freezing up. I have had no other screen issues once I removed it. All I had done is BrokenOut 1.1 with ICS tweaks that spc_hicks posted. Even adding widget locker to the loopy smoothness tweak did me no good.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Try these settings (still locks up, but on very rare occasion):

Advanced -> Root Helper

Root Helper -> checked

For Notification Bar -> checked

For Screen Timeout -> unchecked

HomeHelper Ondemand -> unchecked

I've seen a lockup or two after this, but is much less frequent than when I originally installed it.
[LG Revolution] capt730:
Re-installed and going to use these settings to see how it goes.....thanks for the tip!

If you have ever considered organ donation, I implore you to take a few moments and register, and let your family know your wishes.

I've just seen the letter regarding My sister's organs, dated 6th December.

One kidney went to a little girl who post operation didn't need any dialysis and was expected to be sent home a few days later.

The other kidney went to a woman in her 50's who'd been waiting 54 months. She needed some dialysis still but the kidney was slowly starting to work.

Her liver went to a man in his 20's who had been waiting 655 days. He was doing well on the ward.

Her lungs went to another man in in his 20's who had been waiting 7.5 months. He'd been moved from ICU to the ward and was doing well.
