So, I will never be able to use fastboot?

Even if I unlock the bootloader through test points or the paid method?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
Normally, you'd have to unlock it via Wotan Server. It erases SIM lock and unlocks bootloader. Don't know why your phone is already SIM unlocked, though.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
Hi,

I have same problem, Bootloader unlock allowed: NO

On every test point tutorial I saw "if Bootloader unlock allowed: YES, than you can continue doing TP".

I want to unlock it, so I can flash CM9.

Can I still use TP to unlock my bootloader?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
No, bootloader cannot be unlocked if fastboot is disabled.

The only way to enable fastboot right now is via paid method, which also uses the test point method. I am not sure, but I have heard that in some cases, that method unlocks the bootloader aswell.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
So, no custom ROMs for me :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] s1m4an:
So what's the verdict here?

Even though on my LWW I have Bootloader unlock allowed: NO I did the testpoint method to unlock the bootloader and it passed. Afterwards I have S1 Boot Version: r9A021 (

notice the r

) which means the bootloader is unlocked AFAIK. However I still have no access to fastboot. I can confirm that the phone is simlocked, and before having to pay to get it simunlocked, I want to make sure that doing so will finally enable fastboot.

Again, will having the phone sim-unlocked enable the bootloader to be unlocked, and more importantly gain access to fastboot?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] UchihaDareNial:
Afaik,fastboot will be enabled if the phone is sim-unlock?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Yes, the bootloader is unlocked, but fastboot is still disabled and phone SIM-locked. The only way to enable fastboot is via paid method.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] s1m4an:
That's exactly what I am asking. If the phone gets sim-unlocked, does that mean that fastboot will be enabled? What paid method are you referring to? Sim-unlock code? Or is there some other paid method?

Or to put it in better writing, what paid method is there to enable fastboot?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] UchihaDareNial:
The paid-method is technically you go to your service provider,and ask them for an unlock code for your phone.Normally,you need to pay,but if you are lucky,they can give an unlock code for free :good:

The method to sim-unlock your phone (based on my reading in this forum :p ) is insert other SIM card that are different carrier,and turn on your phone.There will be a checkpoint which your phone asking for a code,at that time you insert the code that your service provider gave you,and after you enter the code,your phone will automatically sim-unlocked :highfive:

I'm sorry if some of my information is misleading,I hope someone can fix my mistake (if any though)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] UchihaDareNial:
Or try this,who knows it might work? :D

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] s1m4an:
I'm planing to buy an unlock code, just want to make sure that by simunlocking it will enable fastboot.

Only wanted to know if anyone knows that it is certain, because i have no need for simunlock other than enabling fastboot so I can flash kernels :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ric69:
I unlocked the sk17i of my son with another simcard and the code from my provider but... bootloader is still NOT allowed :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] s1m4an:
Have you tried the testpoint method to unlock the bootloader?

Unlocking bootloader and sim unlocking both do separate things, but I'm hoping simunlocking + testpoint method will finally enable fastboot.

I'll purchase a simunlock code and post if that helps with enabling fastboot asap.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] UchihaDareNial:
That's is called sim unlock,and it is used to unlock the phone to use other sim card provider...it also unlock fastboot in your son's phone

Well,the bootloader still can be unlock,see my previous post
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Outlaw13:
I had the same problem and Unlocked with NO PROBLEM....

I can use Fastboot too...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ric69:
Ok thanks guys :) you mean we can unlock bootloader even if it's written "not allowed" on *#*#7378423#*#* after simunlock :confused:

I will try it later ... when I can acces to the phone ^^
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emarsh:
I know there are similar threads on here, but this seems a little unique. My gf's fascinate has been running CM7 faithfully for six months, but today it gets stuck in the bootscreen with the skateboarder. If I three-finger it, I can reach recovery mode (CWM 4.0.1.0).

The question is: what is the easiest way to get this phone working again, ideally with CM7? Do I have to restore and reroot or can I flash a new ROM from CWM? There are no nandroid backups that I can see (I know, I know, shame on me).
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emarsh:

Hello,

This is for every one with a Latam phone who tried to downgrade and get stucked on Fastboot. and for some who was on the Chinese ics and Flashing to Latam is not working since no Fastboot ICS Latam

After working on it for 2 hours

i was able to find a solution and i tried it on many phones to make sure it wasnt just question of chance.

Step1:

download the Fastboot that i modified ( its a mix with Retail.Br.en 2.3.6 and Retail.Br.en ICS 4.0.4 + some modification in the XML file )

Flash it with RSD Lite as usual

Step2:

Put the update file in the ext-sd card

Step3:

When finished flashing go in Recover mode by pressing the key combination of Power button + volume up + volume down button together at once. You will see the recovery screen ( ! ) just press the volume up + volume down

Step4:

scroll to " apply update from external storage " and select the needed file

"blur_version.651.167.3370.xt910.brasil.en.br.zip" this update will JUST fix the missed file , keep the updated ( since its a mix ) and delete the un needed file ( as usual )

Reboot

and your phone shld be working

Modified fastboot:

Latam_Retail_BR_2.3.6_mixed_with_Retail_BR_4.0.4_and_xml_modified

ICS 4.0.4 update Br.en

blur_version.651.167.3370.xt910.brasil.en.br

P.S its works only for Latam.

I'm not responsable if you brick your phone ( its not a downgrade to 2.3.5, 2.3.6, 4.0.3 )

Please if it works for you or no try to put me up to date
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hacker812c:

Send more details for this method...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kelcastro:
this information is very important...

same users presents this errors after ics...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yorgo1982:
honestly there no more details. its exactly as if u r flashing the phone with the original fastboot rom. but this rom i did modified it: by mixing data from 2.3.6 and from ics and changing data in xml.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kelcastro:

i flash this method... this method flash 236 and OTA automaticaly?

thanks...

Thanks! :-)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ottawadad34:
So can this way basically a way to downgrade from ics to gingerbread?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yorgo1982:
There is no mention of down grading.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] yellowdragon:
No, once on ICS there's no going back to GB... At least not right now... This is to repair a botched ICS upgrade on a LATAM device... I guess by changing the corresponding files in the script, it could be used for other regions...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ottawadad34:
Ok thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] latinoguy:
I did everything in this post but still the same mistake with RSD lite says "please manually power up this phone and still says "in progress".

When I rebot the phone it still gets the motorola logo with no other action I try to install with recovery mode and show me the instalation aborted, honestly im desperate I dont know what else to do, thnks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yorgo1982:
Is that à latam?

1 rsdlite. Id u reboot thé phone.u will get moto logo no more. But what u have ti do in put in ur ex-sdcard thé update zip and do an update. In still using this méthode and ors working
[Motorola Droid RAZR] latinoguy:
Yes I alredy did that but still the same problem no advance stuck in the motorola logo with no answer.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yorgo1982:
Ok. Factory reset + clean cache + redo the rsdlite ( better to unzip the file and take the xml ) let it reboot by it selft it will download by itself à recovery. Than go back to recovery and update with thé update zip file. Dont change the name of the file ( some time changing names can affect and better that u do a new download on the dont use the same ) also some times it happens during download some data will be missed )

Sorry maybe in repeating ehat u did but this is the only way
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
worked flawlessly. thank you very much. saved my phone from being used as a paper weight
[Motorola Droid RAZR] yellowdragon:
latinoguy, is that a LATAM phone you're trying to fix?

Yes is a latm I live in Mexico and I was using the lastest ICS from brasil.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yorgo1982:
Are u following my steps?

Suggestion for latinoguy

latinoguy, there's a new ICS version for our phones. Go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1696459 and start in the EXTRA! section...

I didn't know where to put this but I had to put this somewhere since it helped me so much.

I was trying to back up my ROM in cwm but it said it couldn't mount /system. I tried everything. I tried to update busybox, reinstall su, format SD card, everything. Nothing worked. I was going to wipe everything clean, when I had one last idea.

I tried to flash a new kernel in CWM, and when I did it remounted the system partition for me and I could create and restore backups! So if nothing works and you have the /system problem, try installing a kernel.zip from your SD card.

Root IS required !!

This mod will add init.d support to any rom even stock roms without editing the ramdisk. Instead it uses the post_boot.sh file that is in most if not all roms. It should work on most devices, if it does not work on yours please look in /system/etc and post the name of the file that contains "post_boot.sh".

This mod has been tested on the OneX and OneS.

To use just flash in recovery and add your favorite scripts to init.d.

For devs:

To add this method to your rom simply edit the post_boot.sh file and add this line at the bottom:

/system/etc/init.d/*

Easy right ? Suprised it hasn't been done before, well at least that i know of.

All files in init.d will be executed at boot just like regular init.d. You can also manually add the line and make it whatever directory you want.

Have you ever wondered why so many custom roms?are they really different from each other?

Answer is no,not really,they are all the same with tiny tweaks.

The MAJOR difference is inside of init.d.Those scripts is 95% of the difference between "good" ROM,"bad" ROM,"BEST?" ROM,... lol

This will allow you to peak at the login communication but be warned, the output will be verbose. (I would search for your login name and see if the password is next to it).

Small note though: I hope Yahoo actually only uses you password during the initial App setup and than creates a unique token for future logins. For you of course, I hope they keep using the password ;-)
