No it wont, if you read SOMETHING; ANYTHING on the program you'd know its for htc devices only. You need to accept that there's people smarter than you,know more about the device than you and have tried more technical stuff related to the android OS than you will. IF it could be unlocked for free and was as easy as searching the internet for it, it would have been found by now.

You can't.

People arent gettin on your case, they're trying to stop you doing a half arsed job using a tin pot method which will more than likely result in you owning an xperia brick instead of an xperia play. If you search thru the q&a and development threads, you'll see that you aint the first to ask this question and that everyone before you that couldnt unlock using the SE unlocking site has ended up having to pay to unlock using the testpoint method. The guys who have answered you previously know what they're talking about and arent trying to fleece you and its easier to pay the 20 or so quid to get the job done right instead of 200 quid for a new phone
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brainard52:
In reality, 24 bucks isn't that much. Its waaay more than worth it. It allows you to do awesome things with just your phone. What is your purpose for unlocking anyway?

Having worked for orange in the past, i know you'll do well to get a bricked handset replaced free of charge. Even customers with genuine faults have had to pay towards the cost of a replacement so i wouldn't get all warm and cosy about having a contract
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brainard52:
I'd buy another low-end device if you're going to use it for educational purposes. You could probably pick one up online for forty or fifty bucks. If you're really pushing to use your play, just pay the 23 bucks needed to unlock it. After that, you're golden. You will be able to do whatever you want with it, provided you know what you can do and how to do it.

could do with a "bang head against brick wall" smiley for this bloke!!!

the people on here aren't pricks but i would bet that a good number of em do know more than you (they know which forums to post questions in for a start!!!). When people start throwing their advice back in their faces, thats when they get their backs up. Whe paid unlocking software also requires credits for each use, this is why the devs who do this service charge whoever needs it. they make no profit!!! Given the number of developers on this forum, dont you think that if there was a way to unlock your bootloader for free, they would have found it by now??? If the people here who have the experience say that the only way that you can go is to pay, i would listen, they know what they're talking about.

Hello!

We had this thread 7 months ago and the simple answering is no. The BL cant be unlocked because sim branded phones have fastboot disabled.

Test point re writes the boot sequence to allow fastboot.

The only way around it is kernel bypass which has not been found on the 2011 range.

My advice is stay locked if you search for how to unlock.

Boot loader unlocks are for mainly development not for daily usage only if you know you arrestees safe doing what you do e.g flashing kernel s.

Paid Service Unlocking

When I read the how asinine the whiner sounded about not wanting to pay to unlock it really steamed me.I at first thought there has to be a way to unlock without paying but then I got to thinking about all the pitfalls.I am not a android noob by any means but I am a noob to the Xperia play.I feel much more confident in letting a knowledgeable person like Alejandrissimo handle it then me ending up with a doorstop.

The small price you will pay to have Alejandrissimo to help you unlock is just that....a small price.Through a series of events in my life I found myself financially strapped but when I called out for help in getting my Play unlocked Alejandrissimo was there.Professional,courteous and prompt in responses.You cant put a price tag on things like that.Although peace of mind in knowing your device is in good hands is important,professionalism and courteousness go a long way too.

My long ramble all comes down to one point...These guys worked their butts off to find a safe,reliable method to help us enjoy our devices.Isnt all the long hours they put in worth a few measly bucks?Your damn right it is.I guarantee the few bucks they ask to help defray costs doesnt compare to the many long hours they spent in front of a computer and all the real life opportunities they missed just because they were trying to help us enjoy our devices.

This probably isnt the correct place to say this but I will say it anyway...A very big thank you to Alejandrissimo.If you want a safe reliable unlock service see him.Once I am able to contribute more than just kind words to him I will be making a sizeable donation to him.

I guarantee the same kind of people who whine about paying to unlock are the same kind of people who dont hit the thanks button and more than likely the same kind of people who are constantly asking for eta's.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:
I'm with you on this one. Personally, I havent had to pay for an unlock due to my Play allowing the standard unlock but for what its worth, Alejandrissimos asking price is fair. He doesn't make anything off of it either.

If I wasn't so badly in debt I'd donate to him even though I haven't used his services. I've read nothing but good things though

This whole thread makes me facepalm

I unlocked my Sony Ericsson Xperia Play R800a Rogers Canada (No fastboot) using TESTPOINT method for free with software I found online.

For all the whiners who don't want to pay, search for sites to do it yourself and you will find stores that sell the USB dongle to unlock it yourself for $400. So... 20$ vs $400... that's what I thought....

This wasn't remote unlocking as far as I know... only required registering and logging in to use software.

I am Running Cyanogen 7.2

Bootloader is Unlocked

It is Debranded (This was first attempted using Wotanserver, their software crashed mid process, They gave me another unlock.. but whats the point if their software crashes - Junx13 and Alessandrismo both offered to help for $$ - but I stumbled onto something else)

Sim is unlocked (I paid 4.99$) for this when I JUST started learning about how all this worked.

I unlocked my phone to gain fastboot access 1 week ago. It was free, but maybe it was an easter special. I don't know. I am not about to see if I can relock it to find out.

Oh yeah.. I almost forgot to let you guys know what the software was...

Yes for FREE... However this has downsides.

Anyway there is some people who cannot unlock for free and pay me for the privilege.

And some people have theirs already unlocked from factory ;)

Do some research before shouting off :P

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hbguru:
Elaborate please.

Hi Jinx13,

Can you please be more specific on what the downsides are? Also, do you know how safe is the bootloader unlocking with omnius?

You seem to be the semi god of unlocking bootloaders where they are restrictred (bootloader unlockable: no).

btw i have no probs paying on your site at the end if i don't find a better solution. But for me the best part of doing this android hacking is that i do myself. i really don't need my phone being even as fast as it is now :) i don't play or anything, just enjoy trying some stuff out.

(my friend asked me - so what is the big benefit i'm risking to brick my arc s for, or why i'm giving up warranty - i told him i have no idea, must be the same as for reading a book after work :D )

thanks in advance!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captain67:
Omnius is safe, many people have used it without problems. Downside to official Sony method is that it only works with sim-unlocked phones that have fastboot already, and you lose DRM keys, which causes certain apps like TrackID to stop working. Just be careful you keep the sticker intact after using test point method to avoid warranty troubles later.

I used to own a Desire Z, which I assume, due to it not having a forward facing camera, had a very useful and good, self portrait app built in. This used the face recognition and made a noise when a face was recognised which made the noise more frequently as you moved the camera more towards your face. I know that I can use the screen to line up the camera but this is only using the 1.3mp camera and doesn't do 3d. I have tried a few of the app a from the market place by they are all lacking compared with what came with the desire z. Does any one know if it possible to get the HTC app?

(1) Fascinate Phone - Not compatible (expected)

(2) Galaxy Tab 10.1 - Not compatible (huh?)

(3) Samsung GT-P7510 (registered January, 2012) - Compatible

Any idea why the Market shows TWO tab devices (2) & (3), with one compatible and the other not compatible?

What should I be doing to clear this up??
