[Motorola Droid RAZR] music_man185:
i know most people will probably say that any car charger will work, but i'm against using cheap off brand chargers. i've read too many instances where off brand chargers over heated or over charged a phone batter. i have a oem motorola car charger for my droid x. i just got a razr maxx last weekend, and curious if the same charger will work with it.

this is the charger i have http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-MB810-Droid-Car-Charger/dp/B003VZQ5VE/ref=pd_cp_cps_1

and this is the charger they say is for the maxx http://www.amazon.com/Original-Vehicle-Battery-Charger-Verizon/dp/B007IJ82HE/ref=sr_1_13?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1354071848&sr=1-13&keywords=razr+maxx+charger

not sure if there is any difference. the droid x is labeled as "MB810". the maxx is "XT912"
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mata_rael:
I do not think that this will make any difference at all, unless the charger has less than 5V 0,75A (750mAh).

Btw, i had problems with my original motorola charger (and it broke too) that gave 5.1V 750mAh, and i'm using the HTC touch pro2 charger, and now i can use the phone while charging (as when i was using the old charger, my touchscreen was completely unusable).

What i'm saying with that: do not think that only because it has Motorola (or any other brand name, my sony ericsson charger gave me the same problem) it will give no problems. When something is cheap, it's cheap.

ok there is already a few threads about this, but i just want to make a simple guide for everyone......

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKING YOUR PHONE, CAUSING WW3, OR AN ALIEN INVASION

1.) Make sure you have the fastboot drives installed (if not get it here), AND HAVE A BACK-UP VIA RECOVERY

2.) Then proceed to Sony's Official Website and follow the steps CAREFULLY, to get your unlock code.

3.) After all of that Is said and done your device MAY (like mine) bootloop but dont worry just restore your back-up from earlier and it should boot thats what i did and im unlocked running 2.3.3 GBTweaked v7.1 from when i was locked.

unlocking r800x

thatd be great if i could get fastboot.exe to register as a command flashtool tells me oem remote unlock failed i downloaded all the nessary files from sony followed the instructions still locked bootloader any ideas? and yes i checked my unlock sent for request twice same key came back in my email so its not the unlock key
[Xperia Play General] zackspeed:
Same here. It wont let me unlock. I wounder if I need to point to the cmd to cd c:/ first??

So it recognizes the device correctly but yet fails to unlock. I am updating the sdk in hopes that's the issue.
[Xperia Play General] darkharbinger81:
Now I'm stuck at waiting for device this is bull
[Xperia Play General] franklinmomo:
Also, when you use fastboot on osx you don't need to install drivers. In terminal just CD to the platform-tools within the mac adt bundle and use the command ./fastboot rather than fastboot.exe
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
That's what I did was change the directory to the folder with fastboot and if you download the new sdk and Sony drivers it should work (I did this because my old sdk was screwed up so I just got a fresh file)

P.S. I downloaded omnius and it had all the files and drivers for my phone.. if on windows 7 type in search device maneger and click it find Google adb interface and right click . Update driver software and direct it to the root omnius folder and hit OK it should install the drivers and the unlock should go as planed
[Xperia Play General] zackspeed:
Never mind I got it now. Some how I had written the wrong code. I copied what was sent to me but when I went back to check it again it was different. ????

Stock kernel with overclock works great with gbtweaked btw
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
Yes it does I love it but want the features of JB
[Xperia Play General] LAcube:
So is there a way to check if you successfully unlocked your bootlader? I followed all the steps correctly but didn't get any type of message saying your bootloader is now unlocked. I want to flash CM10 already :D I just want to double check before flashing anything.
[Xperia Play General] JunDavis:
While phone is off plugin your usb to pc while holding the search button. If your LED doesnt go blue on the power button then it didnt work.
[Xperia Play General] DubleJayJ:
If you want to check, either

A) Put in the code again. It'll give you an error saying it's already unlocked

B) Get ROM Toolbox, and try to overclock. If it goes over 1024, then it is unlocked.
[Xperia Play General] JunDavis:
B. Is only on custom kernels. If he has a custom kernel, he is unlocked.
[Xperia Play General] DubleJayJ:
Not true. As soon as I unlocked my bootloader(test point), I was still on Cola ROM with stock kernel. I didn't believe it, and I went into ROM Toolbox, checked it and I was overclocked at 1.8. Luckily, I checked otherwise I could of killed my phone.
[Xperia Play General] Lordomn:
If you open the fastboot command prompt and type fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar secure

That should tell you.... Y= locked

[Xperia Play General] brsingr:
There is more to it than just that....the poster above me adds more detail....I know this because I plug my phone in holding search and get the blue light and i know my BL is still locked......you still have to the command to check it.
[Xperia Play General] JunDavis:
It is impossible to get a blue LED light without unlocking the bootloader on R800i. Maybe it's different for R800x, strange.

Unlocking bootloader

While trying to unlock the bootloader using the sony site I type in *#*#7378423#*#* I get into service info then configuration there is no option for rooting status there is only a meid:, meid software version: 0 , available speech codes:blah blah , working band/s: no available speech codec.

I have a factory xperia play R800x

phone software version 1243-3001_4.0.2.E.0.5.7

Will I have to send my phone out to unlock the bootloader?
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
Nope just follow Sony's instructions except for the root status check as said Verizon just hid that to give their customers false hope about unlocking...so like I said just follow the guide and you should get unlocked
[Xperia Play General] DubleJayJ:
Ya, about that. Verizon has fastboot unlocked, but they have the bootloader locked. They teased us by having fastboot unlocked.

Yup you will be able to. Like I posted earlier, they do that to trick people into thinking it's not possible. Trust me though, it is :D
[Xperia Play General] gunz1:
sony root instructions are terrible help

I got to step 14 completed step 13 from the sony xperia link. What should i do here?

Step 14. Open a command window and go to the tools folder within the Android SDK folder.

What programs command window? Java ADT, or Android SDK, or command prompt?

In the SDK tools folder there are ten different applications.
[Xperia Play General] Lordomn:
The command window is from PC/laptop.... You just have to hold shift from the sdk folder then right click... But you want to make sure the drivers are installed correctly...

phone connected with search button to pc

Device manager (states) android phone<android ADB interface

Devices and Pointers (states) unspecified (1) S1Boot Fastboot

I can safely remove my usb to phone if i want I can click Eject S1Boot Fastboot

I go to

command prompt sais C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe on top and C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86\sdk\tools> in window

I type " fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version " exactly i use 0's and not O's

my error is 'fastboot.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

What did I do wrong or what drivers do I need?
[Xperia Play General] Lordomn:
Is the fastboot.exe in the same folder that you open the command prompt...that might be why its not recognizing it...

[Xperia Play General] gunz1:
Where would I have gotten fastboot.exe from I searched for it and I dont have the file

oh i see its in the C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86\sdk\platform-tools

and it works when i use the command window i got a version 0.3 back sweet
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
Yup sound like your ready for an unlock
[Xperia Play General] abdel12345:
i followed all of this and got a version .3 back but it still says remote: oem unlock failed whenever i try to put the codes in do you know what might be wrong?
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
Some r800x have been unable to be unlocked for no apparent reason you will have to pay for an unlock, sorry
[Xperia Play General] abdel12345:
Well thanks for the help and that stinks I really wanted to unlock it but I can't pay for it at the moment ill have to save up a couple bucks everyday and if you here of any other way to unlock it plus tell me

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

so if i pay for the unlock it should work for sure and what site do i go to to do this?
[Xperia Play General] abdel12345:
I was finally able to unlock my boot loader thank you all for the help
[Xperia Play General] bandoncontortion:
After i did all this i tried to turn my phone on and got a black screen after the Sony Ericsson screen so i tried using a nandroid backup and just went into a bootloop. I had to revert back stock 2.3.3 through Flash Tool. Do i still have an unlocked bootloader after flashing the stock rom with Flash Tool? If not can anyone help me unlock and fix the bootloop without relocking the bootloader?
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
Well if your phone is booting then your unlocked unless you know you relocked it you can check this by simply booting into fast boot (blue led) and typing in command prompt "fastboot get var secure" or something close to that I can't remember exactly but it will say yes=locked no=unlocked and that's your answer

many thanks crazymonkeys

u save my life and my potential money out for 25 bucks, hhe

R800X have been succesfully unlocked

mission accomplished :D

BOOTLOADER UNLOCK PHONE REQUESTED

OKAY

FINISHED. TOTAL TIME : 4.422 S

for ADB bootloader interface i use driver from omnius (ever installed it once when omnius promotion several months ago)

and all steps can run perfect as the intruction

file at the step 9 doesn't work for me. it just make my device stuck "waiting device"

although i've followed instruction to copy android winusb to google usb driver folder and then to step 13 for installing/updating android bootloader interface driver which pointing the driver from step 10. it never work. i'm pretty sure most of u guys will also fail use the driver.

so the first key like crazymonkey have said. use driver from omnius for SE. install first and update driver ADB bootloader then pointing to omnius directory. forward to step 14 - 16. viola it works for me

once again thanks so much crazymonkey:victory::good:
[Xperia Play General] bandoncontortion:
The command is "fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar secure" if its what i think you mean...anyway got secure: no so thank you!

Hey i just bought a used Xperia Play and i wanted to install a custom rom, but im not sure if my bootloader is locked or not, cause im getting no information about it through calling the number combination... only the normal infoscreen with imei and so on. I downgraded my phone to 2.3.2 and got root. And i already used this way with the imei to unlock the bootloader and it said that it was succesfull, but i m still getting no information about my bootloader status.... any advice how i could get to know how my status is?

[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
Just put the phone in fastboot and run the command "fastboot -0xfce getvar secure" at least I think that's the command... correct me if I'm wrong
[Xperia Play General] netizenmt:
This simply does not work on the R800x from Verizon, from what I can tell. Maybe there are different versions of it out there.
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
What do you mean the the op don't work on r800x or the command to get unlock state??
[Xperia Play General] abdel12345:
It does work on r800x because I used it. Verizon just hides that info because they don't want people unlocking boot loaders so they don't change networks

ROM: Extreme Ics

Kernel: Lupus v9
[Xperia Play General] darkharbinger81:
Get your unlock code and use flash tool (make sure flash tool is it to date) that's how I unlocked my bootloader

To DOA nandroid you need a custom recovery because by default the play does not have one I believe there is app on Google play that can do it just search recovery for xperia play "your android version I.e. 2.3.3
[Xperia Play General] Thunderbird8:
Isn't rooting the phone necessary for installing a custom recovery?
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
Yes
[Xperia Play General] ¡OM3GA!:
So how can I back up if it needs to be roited but that cant b done without unlocking the bootloader
[Xperia Play General] abdel12345:
Unlock the bootloader. It won't erase anything. Then root and make a backup before changing your ROM or kernel

Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
[Xperia Play General] Thunderbird8:
You do not need to unlock the bootloader to root. If you are on 2.3.3, you can root with the common methods. If you are on 2.3.4, I think you need to flash back to 2.3.3 (if you do this correctly, you won't lose your data) before you can root. Since the 2.3.3 firmware is an official one, it will still work on a locked bootloader. In my case, I was on 2.3.4, flashed back to 2.3.3 and used SuperOneClick to root my phone.

I'm pretty sure that unlocking the bootloader with the official Sony method will completely wipe out the user partition. In my case, I had accidentally wiped it out already when flashing back to 2.3.3 with flashtool (forgot that I needed to uncheck the box for wiping the userdata partition), but the unlock did indeed wipe out my user partition.
[Xperia Play General] ¡OM3GA!:
Ok thanx!!! So imma root, create backup, unlock bootloader, then recover data n im done?

And from the there I could backup intall kenerls custom firmwares etc and recover all iwant??!??
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
Yup all you want and if you screw up too bad you can always ftf. To stock
[Xperia Play General] ¡OM3GA!:
Lol i kno this is lik a month later but i riited my phone successfully but to do a backup im not sure how to do it I hav titanium backup but what I wajt to do is be able to back up the user data on the apps I hav installed so once everything is wiped I can reinstall the apps with the same user data, for example hav my save states on games amd keep my colornote notes.
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
You have to do a nandroid backup for all settings and apps or a titanium backup just for apps
[Xperia Play General] ¡OM3GA!:
Ok thnx I did a titanium one but what im wondering after I do that n unlock the bootloader n everything gets wiped I reinstall titanium backup ritght, but then where will my backups be at? R they stored lik on a cloud n the app recognizes the phone and nows which backup to giv me or are the back ups somewhere on my sd card n i hav to save it somewhere else n then later on once i hav wiped everything n reinstalled titanium backup put the backup on my sdcard and recover from there? Thanks dude u hav been really helpful!!
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
Titanium back up creates a folder on the SD card labeled "titanium backup" w/o quotes and that folder has all the backed up app data so when you unlock and factory reset and install a new ROM/kernel be sure not to wipe the sdcard and if you need to then just copy that folder to your PC and then format...then after you are all booted install titanium backup and just hit restore it should see the backed up apps...p.s. I would just do a clean install and not restore if you plan on upgrading to ICS/JB as some apps don't do well with the switch and p.p.s. I would just backup user apps as these are usually compatible with the move and system apps are well for your old system
[Xperia Play General] HellsingVamp:
unlock failed

hey sorry if im necro posting but i have recently had to go back to using my play and seen we can unlock now for free and figured i would try it as cola 6 is giving me issues when trying to restore it. i however cannot get it to unlock i followed numerous steps got the unlock key get version 0.3 in the cmd prompt but it always says oem unlock failed when i do the unlock command anyone have any suggestions?
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
I've heard this happen to a few r800x users so what I can suggest is to try flashtools bootloader unlock method and if that doesn't you may have to pay for a unlock. When I did it I was on a verizon locked phone, is yours?
[Xperia Play General] HellsingVamp:
yeah it is and im looking into flashtools now thanks ill let ya know if it works
[Xperia Play General] HellsingVamp:
ok so ive been trying to figure out how to use flashtools i found it on the sony website its the thing called emma right? also i cant seem to find or understand how to use this to unlock bootloader
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
Sony's Emma software is for flashing stock firmware on unlocked bootloader (in a same way PC companion is used for flashing stock firmware on locked bootloader).

Not related to unlocking bootloader nor with flashtool.
[Xperia Play General] HellsingVamp:
OK sorry for being a nub I have flashed many a phone I'm just confused/lost on this one any chance you could get me headed in the right direction as far as getting the right flash tools and starting this process
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
I don't know how to unlock bootloader with flashtool (i have r800i and used sony's site to unlock mine), i was just telling you that emma is not solution for your problem.

But you could try again sony's site to unlock bootloader, but double check (and triple check) your IMEI you entered (often even one wrong or extra letter can cause wrong unlock code)

Remember, use first 14 digits of IMEI (remove/ignore all extra letters if presents).
[Xperia Play General] HellsingVamp:
OK I will retry. man ill feel quite dumb if that's what I messed up on lol

update: well im dumb that was the issue thank you for recommending i go back to that step your a life saver i was to stubborn/prideful/dumb to think i did it wrong thanks a bunch man

[Xperia Play General] Crossvxm:
I know this thread is probably ancient/outdated/obsolete, but I found my Xperia Play (r800x) inside a moving box with "memories" and I forgot I still had this poor thing. Back when I first had it, there was no bootloader unlock at all. Then one day I came across the official Sony website and the Service Menu did not have any answer for bootloader unlocking, which now got me curious. I searched it up today and came across this thread, landed in the Sony website but its pretty much the same nonsense. How can I unlock the bootloader if it clearly states that the Service menu must say "Yes?" Are there any alternative methods?

P.S. Sorry to drag anyone who has subscribed via email to this thread into this after over a year...
[Xperia Play General] Lordomn:
The r800x doesn't have the line that says yes or no. But if you enter your imei and get a code back your good to go. Either unlock it in ADB or flashtool
[Xperia Play General] crazymonkey05:
Lordomn is right just put in your imei and you will get the code
