[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Static-Noise:
I'm new to Sony Mobiles, especially when it comes to rooting and the like. And, from coming from a HTC, it's very different indeed.

I've seen all the rooting information, flashing and the like mentioned on the forum.

And there is the scary messages that "Your warranty may be voided". But, that only affects some people, as far as I know.

After trying out the *#*#SERVICE*#*# code and checking my status, it says...

Rooting Status:

Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes

Does this mean that I can root my phone, and the like, and not lose my warranty from Sony. Say I root it and have problems and return it for repair, that they'll fix it. I'm trying to fix the battery drain, but I don't want to root it if my warranty is screwed, and that the shop may refuse it if I return it tomorrow.

I hope someone can help.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Static-Noise:
But, my bootloader is already unlocked out of the box, yes?

Flashing stock firmware, and returning to warranty cover, isn't doable though at present, is it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Efe64:
No its not unlocked. You have just acces to unlock it, but! You will lose yiur warranty.

Iff you dont birck your phone, you can always relock it and put official firmware on it. Ready to send!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dragon546:
No the bootloader is unlockable but not out of the box. Like the google phones you still need to unlock bootloader using the official method using fastboot.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Static-Noise:
I'm afraid by providing my IMEI, etc., on the Unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com site they'll put it on a blacklist. If I return the phone to the shop tomorrow and give out about the battery, they may see that I've rooted it via IMEI.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rashkae:
No. You are paranoid. Plus, the only thing they could possible check is if you got the unlock code.

1. You CANNOT "root via IMEI".

2. Simply generating the unlock code does not mean you unlocked your phone.

It's obvious you're not too sure about this, so please trust us when we say:

1. You can unlock, root, and re-lock

2. You can flash the stock, un-rooted FW and re-lock and the service center won't be none the wiser.

Trust us old birds on this. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Static-Noise:
That sounds much nicer. :-)

It's just coming from HTC it is all very different. I'm just dying to root it to flash .73 firmware and decide if I'll be returning the phone or not.

Many thanks, wise old bird. :-)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Static-Noise:
Thanks all for the replies. I've thrown thanks your way to show my appreciation.

Considering this thread closed. Feel free to snip any content from it for a stickie, as Sony newbies like myself might require the information in the future.

Thanks again.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kahei036:
Below statements need to be accepted before you proceed for the code. That means from the standpoint of Sony they are eligible to say your device is no longer under warranty.

As Static-Noise mentioned IMEI is provided in this case and you never ever know when will they take these stats out and say your warranty has voided.

Important information
Please note that you may void the warranty of your phone and/or any warranty from your operator if you unlock the boot loader. Sony Ericsson can then no longer guarantee the full functionality of your phone, and will not be responsible for any unsigned custom software being flashed to the phone after the boot loader is unlocked.

By doing this you may void the warranty of your phone. Sony can then no longer guarantee the full functionality of your phone, and will not be responsible any malfunctions in your phone, or material damages or personal injuries caused by your phone.
Are you sure you want to continue?

I totally agree the service center will not be smart enough to check, even you forgot to re-lock your BL, but better keep the concept clear :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
They will only refuse your phone if you do something stupid that causes your hardware to be fried while your bootloader is unlocked (overclocking a bit too much, etc etc).

Unlocking your bootloader doesn't void any warranty it just "may", but they keep the list incase you send it in with the above problems which will void it, because it would be your own fault and not Sony :). General problems (yellow screen, dead pixels, factory recalls) and anything else that can happen to the bootloader locked phone, can still be sent in (Unless you break your phone by your own doing :) ).

So no worries. Enjoy!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Static-Noise:
So my phone "Unlock status: Rootable", can be rooted via the .73 image and I won't lose warranty? I'm merely going to block ads, use backup software, freeze Sony apps and maybe CM9 in future. I see no need to overclock or the like. Purely software related.

Tl:dr,

I can safely root it, use it only for software (normal root uses, not overclocking), and restore to out of the box setup without having voided warranty that they'll never know about?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pk1025:
I'm trying to backup my current ROM

I tried this http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/ and it looks like it went through, but when I double checked and went back into Manage and Restore Backups there was nothing there. Then I went through Recovery into the advanced option and I got a message saying that there were no files there either. So It seems like if I follow the steps I don't get a backup file made. For the record I have no problems with Titanium Backup.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scorp182:
Have you tried do a backup directly through CWM, not the ROM Manager?

Via file explorer you should find your backup on your internal sd in clockworkmod/backup/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pk1025:
I did it directly and that seemed to work. After I did it that way there was a file in that backup folder.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Hi guys.

Forgive me, this question has been asked before, I've tried searching for days but can't find a solution. Here's the breakdown:

I can't get mms to send at all anymore. Details are:

Pvt3

0.93.0001

S-on

Latest radio

CM7.1 stable version

It used to send mms fine. Then it gradually declined. First the signal bars would turn white during a send attempt. Then signal would disconnect and reconnect before completing the process. At this stage it was still sending mms. Now that doesn't happen at all, and maybe one in thirty send attempts will work. No other data connections have been affected. Web is fine. Maps is fine. The only component of my data that won't work is sending mms (it still receives mms ok). Apps like viber and whatsapp have no problem sending image/audio/video but stock message app and gosms don't work. Its driving me insane, I've looked everywhere but can't find a fix.

Does anybody know of a way to fox this please? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love cyanogenmod, this is the only thing about my handset that doesn't work. Its driving me insane guys!!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InMyBedNow:
Which ROM are you using and are your APN settings adjusted according to your carrier? CyanogenMOD ROMs have a HUGE APN list so you can flash a CyanogenMOD rom if you're unsure. Check with your carrier first.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Yeah as it says above I'm using CyanogenMod 7.1 stable, and I've triple checked my APNs. It was working ok, haven't changed anything, and all of a sudden it has stopped working.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spile:
Happened to me once - a reboot cured it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Rebooting doesn't seem to work for me. The strangest part is that it's not consistent. Every blue moon it'll send an mms or two, but then it'll stop working. I love CyanogenMod, it's perfect for me except for this one glitch I can't conquer :/

My Xperia S seems to suffer from many signal drops through the day, not just a low signal but complete loss, then a short time later the signal comes back.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Contacted provider?

Searched in google, forums etc ?

What phone do you got before the xps? Same provider?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jayman1986:
This has been a persistent problem on the arc, don't tell me on xperia s.

That would be one reason why I would not upgrade if that is the case.

I had this problem in bad signal area, I solved locking on wdcma only net.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thebtman:
Yes, Yes and Yes! It doesnt seem to be a widespread problem from what I read so far.

Before this I had Nokia N900, Acer Liquid Metal, iPhone 4, and Samsung Galaxy S2 (currently sick waiting on main board).

All suffered from the hold the phone a certain way and the signal drops (though the iPhone the worst) but none dropped out completely just sitting on desk!

I upgraded mine to 73 thinking it might fix it, but its just the same.

I dont live in an area thats great for signal as its semi rural.

Best phone for signal was my N900:D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thebtman:
To be honest I am a bit disappointed in the Xperia S. I think as their first proper Sony phone for many years I would have expected them to think it through a bit more...the buttons at the bottom could be more responsive and I have found it a bit laggy
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thebtman:
You live in a similar rural kind of area to me....I think maybe its the phone looking for a 3G signal and not getting a good enough one so switching back to 2G, but I would have expected it to retain a connection all the time.

Technology is supposed to have improved lol
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 3Shirts:
I have this problem on my Xperia S on Vodafone (UK) and it seems to happen in areas where the phone is frequently switching between 2G and 3G. Oddly it's only started since I upgraded to ICS, never happened on GB.

any light on this problem ?

I am using 2G and it happens pretty often.

My phone was a gift and I dont think it has been bought from my country although its not branded. Prior to JB I had .55. Any advice ? It's pretty annoying as it affects both internet and calls, ussually lasts ~1 minute.

I live in an area with good signal and my last phone did not present with this issue

system update 4.0.4 with teamos 1.0 rom

I would never try to perform an official OTA update after a custom from has been installed. That is just asking for trouble. You also mentioned that you were running team eos's rom. I can tell you first hand experience, I've been a very loyal team EOS from user for my Xoom for several months and typically load every nightly they put out for my model. The reason I point this out, is because most times the developer roms xda are actually much further along than the official updates. The biggest example is the fact that ICS is not available officially from Motorola/Verizon as of yet. Plus you get so many features and functions you will likely not see in the official builds.

Others - feel free to help me explain, agree, disagree, etc....

Good luck,

I've tried many, and I mean many roms, mods, and themes. Hands down - Team EOS is the single most exciting, knowledgeable, helpful and down right customer oriented in the Android Development groups.
