And that's it.

press *#*#7378423#*#* on dial pad.

go to service info.

look at S1 boot version, the code normally R9A021 became r9A021.

capital R = locked boot

ordinary r = unlocked boot

unlock using test point would not affect "bootloader unlock allowed: yes" I think :o

CMIIW...

How can i unlock bootloader if my status says: "Bootloader unlock allowed: No" ? If i understood correctly, i would firstly need to pay for sim/network unlock code, and afterwards unlock it via TP or official Sony method ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] n0b0dy666:
Great tutorial, thanks. One question, how to relock the bootloader? By clicking restore in s1tool?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Yup. I will add that later in post two. Too lazy to do that.

So I'm guessing this doesn't work on the Xperia Play R800x?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Yup. It should work. Open up the battery and look for the test point.

I will search for pics today.

Thanks,

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] boyq:
Can you add the picture for LWW? I can't find any reference pic for this unit.

sorry my internet connection's fault -_- so it WAS loading. haha

Thanks for this!

Just a little question: What do I use to stick the sticker again? Or will it

still

be sticky enough to return it to normal? (I don't want Sony to find out that I opened that sticker:D)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Once you unlock the bootloader, you really do not need to bother to take it to Sony. If you do some physical damage to your phone, your warranty will not cover it anyways. And if any software problem occurs, you can flash a stock ftf, or try some other ROMs and kernels.

Just do not flash the ROM which is not built for your phone. And you will not most probably care about Sony Service.

Anyways. I think the sticker is stick enough even after removal. And you can stick it back. Just remove the sticker as in the pic i posted. Remove the upper part, lightly (I mean do not let the beast within you come out :D). And do the job, and put the sticker back. Back use some glue if needs be. :P :D

I do not have a LWW. In Mini Pro, no stickers. It's below the SIM. In Arc S its below the test point cap (s1tool does not support Arc S btw. :(). So I can not assure you if it will be sticky or not. But I would not care.

Thanks,

I have Xperia Ray, do i need take out the battery while unlocking the bootloader by this method?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Yup. You need to remove the battery and then only you will be able to see the Test Point

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jagannn:
My test point is above the battery in ray
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Right, I checked now. Xperia Ray has the Test point under the Test Point Cap.

It is the second one from the bottom of the 5 point out there. No need to open the battery.

But you should still open the battery while carrying out the steps of unlocking bootloader. DO NOT keep the battery connected.

Thanks,

Rick
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] TheLostOne:
Same problem here. bootloader unlock allowed: no

Is the Setool way free and can it be undone for warranty issues?

Thank you!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Unlocking bootloader regardeless of the method used, takes away your warranty in all probability.

However, if test point method is used you can come back to Factory Customistaion, which is not possible if it was done the official Sony Method (the DRM keys).

Setool, is not free. It is a paid method, and I do not know the procedure exactly. But from what I know, it is paid. Warranty, again, is lost mostly, but reverting back to stock completely, is possible.

In fact, s1tool is a tool which is the part of the setool, the setool having much more features than s1tool (like SIM unlocking phone and removing restrictions about bootloader unlocking).

Thanks,

Rick
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] TheLostOne:
Thank you for the detailed answer!

If there's no free way to unlock the bootloader I'm gonna wait for the official update ;-(

Don't want to pay for setool. Maybe if my warranty is over.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MSTHETERROR:
Sorry for this question, but in my Xperia Mini after removing the battery, there is a sticker which has to be removed to see the test point.. I'm having trouble in removing it cos I cut my nails today morning only :( Any way other than asking anyone else with a long nail to remove it?? :P
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Hoshizora:
you tried to remove the sticker with ur nail?

owh c'on man...

u can use safety pin to open the sticker...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
You can wait for sometime. My friend puppet13th has thought of a cool idea which will let you do it without removing the sticker.

I will share it soon. As soon as things are finalised. Just wait a few more days. :-).

Or use a saftey pin or a blade.

9. Remove the saftey pin from the Test Point.

10. Now, click on Test Point Ready once again, and you will get the following window.

With bl unlocked, can i use seus ? How to relock BL ?

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
You need not insert battery in the whole process. That's how it was for me and for many others.

Which phone do you have?

To relock bootloader, you can use the s1tool again. I had kept the 2nd post for that only. Will add when I can get over my laziness.

As soon as you see the progress bar, with the green progress liquid flowing (lol), insert the USB cable into the PC.

That is, the first time you click on Test Point Ready, the phone is unconnected. When the progress bar comes, you connect the phone and the test point.

While clicking the Test Point ready the second time, you have the Phone Connected only via USB, and the test point remains unconnected.

Waiting for DragonClawsAreSharp's Tutorial to unlock Bootloader without removing the sticker :p My nails seem to grow slower than normal :( Weekend starts tomorrow :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Oops. I forgot.

Anyways. I will tell the plan as said by puppet13th. You print out the image of the back of your phone exact in size to your phone. Go the image, the test point needs to be marked.

Place this printout on the back of your phone, and it should fit in perfectly.

Then take the pin and pierce the printout and also the sticker on just the test point. A pin hole will be made and it will be sufficient to complete the circuit.

Pretty simple, as you can see. Thanks to puppet13th for this simple and awesome idea.

Thanks,

Rick.

So then is there any way this would work ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
If it says so, your phone is probably SIM-locked. You have to unlock it, and only way is via paid method. You can use Wotanserver. It should also unlock the bootloader, but I'm not really sure about that.

If you try this method, the bootloader will actually be patched. But fastboot mode will still be locked, so you won't be able to flash custom kernels anyway.

Hi and thanks for this .i cant understand this :

1. Plug in the microUSB Port of the USB cable to your phone (Along with one wire end connected).

2. Take the sharp end of the saftey pin, and hold it on the test point.

3. Keep the pin in place using your left hand.

4. Using your right hand, plug in the male USB end of the USB port into your PC.

U said to connect the usb cable at the first step that has the pin at the other socket of it but at the step four u said to connect it to the pc but phone usb internal is now busy by the cable that mentioned at first step,should I have to have 2 cable ?one with wire and another one is the regular charger cable?and I didnt understand that male to male cable:confused:
