I just thought I would shed a little ray of hope here ;)

Apparently there is a way to root with locked bootloaders for official ICS on the Arc S, Ray and Neo V

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1600728

So maybe when we get ICS we can root without unlocking the bootloader :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Javi22:
Yeah, the problem is when we will get ICS....we want root now! xD

Got phone from Orange, locked to Orange. Locked bootloader.

Asked for unlock key, threatened to leave.

Received unlock key. Phone unlocked. Surprise - Bootloader unlockable after restart *yipee*

Left Orange for good.

Ok I just had a thought and would like your feedback.

I have my xperia sim unlocked.

what im thinking is putting in my none rogers sim,(my other sim is smart, go Philippines).

then updating my phone with sony software and when it say's i have the latest and ask if i want to repair it. select yes and maybe it will the n download another version of the software because it knows the phone is sim unlocked.

what yeah think? would that be even possible to have the software change the ability to have the phone say yes to unlock boot loader.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kiefels:
Not a chance!!!

The bootloader is as it says

"a bootloader"

That means it is a seperate part of the operating system.

When you update/repair your normal running rom/operating system that is the ONLY part that gets updated/repaired.

Your bootloader is never touched

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Matt1408:
Not much, since I have no idea what to do with it... it's basically that I found the "test point" pin, and that it still behaves in the same way as it does the the 2011 locked Sony phones.

However, that's the simple part, now we need to wait for the unlock tokens to become available or however the old way worked on the old phones.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
UPD: no, it looks like the permissions are correct on stock rom, so it won't work.

Dunno if this will help

I have an Arc, locked bootloader by my carrier (Claro).

Rooting methods for gingerbread were available, but no way to unlock the bootloader (unless a paid web service)

I updated my ARC to ICS using the official update for Arc S (yes, it works).

After the ICS update I rooted it stright using a PC script from bin4ry based on the root ideas of Dan Rosenberg (vulcanfactory org)

So keep the faith guys ;)

Well obviously it won't work

It's for ICS and we don't have ICS!!!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Well obviously you're an expert. How come zergrush works on every 1.x and 2.x version possible? Most exploits are backwards compatible in the meaning that if it's in version A, it'll be in version B where A >= B.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kiefels:
OMG!!!

Yes some exploits can be backward compatible IF the previous version has the same fault.

What you're proclaiming here is...

That an exploit that has been found in ICS (an entirely new version of android) will also be in the older android version that has been out for 2 years?

And somehow it has been over-looked. which of course is entirely feasable but if you read the posts above this, you will see written by more than one person that THIS exploit works only on ICS.

I am as ignorant as the next person when it comes to exploits and the internal workings of android but when i see someone writing "it doesn't work on the XPS" when the post above it says "Only on ICS"!! I thought it only fair to highlight the issue as it appears to be getting over-looked.

So i'm sorry for that and you have a good day.

Now can we have some relevant posts in here please?

I have a gingerbread XPS with locked bootloader in desperate need of bulk removal.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Actually, saying that if the vulnerability is present only on ICS for a given device doesn't imply it's only present on ICS in general. The same technique was used on a multitude of other devices by a multitude of other vendors, including those running Gingerbread and Eclair back in the day. This exploit only requires some files to have right ( actually, wrong ) permissions.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HackitZ:
I have been keeping an eye on the GSM forums and still no update. I then read the thread about the bricked xperia s in the general form and see that the test point was figured out. So now we just need the software to work.

Fingures crossed on getting this done. As ics on my raider is blazzing fast.

Not really. You can flash ICS over the existing Rom and it should work.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Javi22:
well I know one method. if you unlock your sim and then you send your phone to Sony (which supposes a money plus more than two weeks without the phone plus a full wipe... ) they unlock the bootloader, but I prefer to wait to some time to some exploit which give us root without sending nothing

so what do you mean? thanks you
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Matt1408:
How so? I was never able to get fastboot enabled.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HackitZ:
I did not know you could enable fastboot with a lock bootloader.

The method I found enables fastboot. Once that's enabled you get bootloader unlocked = yes.

Then off to the don't site to unlock the bootloader.

When I'm home ill share the link. Should be home around 6pm eastern time.

ok here's the link

http://phoneunlockserver.com/forum/...uest-unlocks-bootloader-xperia-s/page__st__20

also the s1 server is down again. so it's back on hold. :mad:

sorry guy's for the let down. :(

jinx emailed me and we we're trying to setup a time we could both be available. he also said the last time the s1 server went down it was down for a year. now I'm only quoting what was told to me so if anyone has better info feel free to share.

as a side note I use to unlock phones and update back when i had my t68i, that was a long time ago... I then moved onto cruiser and still have my dongle. and use to hang out at gsm forum, but as time went on and the unlocking moved to credits i stepped away from it. I sometimes wish i stayed involved. Maybe I would have a better handle on what is needed to unlock se (sony) phones running android (wonder if my cruiser login would still work?). I do believe the last phone i unlocked was a cid 39 w800i? been a few years so not sure if that's right. any ways I'll stop with the useless chatter and like the rest of you just wait.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Matt1408:
I always wondered how these unlocking services work. Where the hell do all these companies get these codes from?!

Anyways, did jinx tell you anything about the process involved in unlocking the phone? Test points, drivers, software, etc?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Javi22:
Thank you,

this is too much complicated :S What the hell is the server for? I dont understand

I thought it was a simple free exploit to get root with any app or something. Is this possible, without enabling fastboot, only root?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] npk21:
I thought after sim unlocking the phone , i would be able to unlock bootloader ! :crying:

I know this has been done many time let try to help each other along with the kind developers. The ones I know about are Eagles Blood, Genesis, Hellfire Sandwich, and Owain's UNOFFICIAL BUILD.

If you know of more list them. If you like one VS the other list it and explain why and compared to what. List what you do not like about each one as well. Lists of likes and dislikes.

If one Rom has one thing working and another Rom dose not maybe this could help the developers.

I personally like Owain's UNOFFICIAL BUILD, he consistently updates taking in everyone's comments. I've tried Eagles Blood, and Hellfire Sandwich and I feel I have the most freedom with Owain's. I don't believe Eagles Blood has updated their ICS Rom since March and Hellfire Sandwich you can't edit the lock screen apps

If I was incorrect with anything sorry I might have just not seen it when I had them on my phone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluey45:
I personally like resurrection remix rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Blackinferno91:
I haven't seen that one yet
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mariuscm:
Eaglesblood's AOSP pre-release is downloadable since about 5 hours ago. There's supposed to be another release today/tomorrow.

For the pre-release (my observations - do not generalize!!!):

*NO WiFi

*Lock screen seems to be off its normal position - it has the unlock/dial/messages/camera, but the camera is somewhere under the screen (?!?!) and I didn't even know it's there until someone pointed it out.

*Battery life seems pretty bad FOR ME. I had about 90% when I flashed the ROM last night. I only installed APEX launcher, Google maps, Dolphin HD, and updated ROM Manager and did a bit of browsing and messed around with some settings - not more than 30 mins. I also set the alarm to ring in about 5 hours. Surprise, surprise: the phone was dead when I woke up because its battery had dies :( - hopefully the release coming today/tomorrow will fix that.

*Stock browser doesn't work for me. It shows some all black or all white screen and sometimes just quits. That's why I installed Dolphin that fixes the problems.

*Google maps sometimes turns all grey. It's still there I can zoom in and out and use all the functions but I can't see them. I have to restart it - sometimes multiple time to get it back to work.

THE LAST TWO BULLETS have been common for me in all ICS ROMs I've used (EGB AOSP, Hellfire Sandwich, Genesis) and these are the main reason ICS is cannot remain my daily driver. I keep going back to Miui.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] aaCotyaa:
I've been using HFS for my daily. It's pretty stable and quick, and it just works. (for me anyway).

Owain's seems really innovative, but it just had too many issues for the time being. I may come back to that one on a later date when more things get ironed out.

In the meantime, I'm awaiting the release of HSF.8
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hypemanisus:
Okay for me it's like i've tested every ics rom for g2x out there except genesis.

hellfire: it's a good rom but has some data drop issues didn't try it with harsh kernel yet may be on 1.8 coming soon.

eagleblood: 4.0.4 using it right now not bad smooth but few issues camera is 5m pix the gps is awful keeps on droping signal not battery percent option. data is perfect thou no drop ,

cm9 euroskank: this was the best rom i had up until they started updating it every update had issues no data at all no sound on the latest best was 1.3

right now i'm going to try hang v63 cz hopefully it's better i love the harsh kernel thanks the team that build it.

I've been running EB AOSP since the beginning, I love it.. All the ics problem I haven't really noticed.. The rom is super fast and snappy.. I don't take pics with the stock camera so the 5mp doesn't bother me.. I picked up fxcamera when it was 50 cents on the market.. Just no video recording.. But that's with all ics roms.. I've tried the others here on xda and they all seem very laggy to me.. I don't know why.. And too I'm like the stock feel of EB ics with apex launcher I'm happy

I just wish someone would fix the major camera issue! I'm a little ROM happy as I work for TMobile and am always trying to keep on the up and up.

-autobrightness on

standard usage - twitter, Facebook, tapatalk, YouTube, chrome beta, texting etc.

Could probably get it to 4.5 hours if I was trying.

I'm tempted to try a new kernal - maybe the Jame bond kernel which gives some people 5 hours screen time apparently.
