[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SadCreper:
Hello guys; I had Xperia Arc branded by Orange in Poland.

I know they locking, blocking and doing a lot of stupid locks on phones and i heard only testpoint will solve problem with bootloader.

I upgrade firmware to ICS (my xperia arc 2011 series device didn't get official ICS) and rooted.

Now used s1tool and installed drivers before i unlocked my bootloader.

I got small "r" the it was unlocked.

But i can't get into fastboot mode: holiding down Menu button and plugging cable and phone start boot as normal.

I had installed CWM with RecoverX, but i can't install Cyanogen mod 10.1 without fastboot.
