reply that I got from Sony:

Thank you for contacting Sony Xperia Support.

With regards to your inquiry, the open developer community is important to us at Sony and we have therefore made it possible to unlock the boot loader for certain releases of Xperia™ smartphones from 2011 and onwards.

To find out what phone models are supported by this service, please see the Supported phones section on the Unlock the boot loader site (http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/).

However, even if the phone model is supported, certain releases of the phone model may not be supported due to operator restrictions.

To check if your phone can be unlocked, go through the first two steps on the Instructions page (http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions) of the Unlock the boot loader site.

Please note that there is no possibility to change the rooting status from NO to YES.

What does it mean to unlock the boot loader?

Unlocking the boot loader allows you to put custom ROMs on your phone. However, we recommend standard users not to unlock the boot loader, as it is not needed.

We are proud to deliver great phone experiences through our rigorously tested and official software releases. If you are not familiar with this technology, then you shouldn’t unlock the boot loader.

Should you require any further assistance please contact us through the telephone number +385 (0) 72 000 000. For more information on our products, services and support please visit www.sonymobile.com.

Please be aware that if you do not respond within 7 days of this email your query will be automatically closed. Any further communications will not reach our support and a new query will need to be raised.

Kind Regards,

Hello. My Xperia Z1 Compact has Bootloader Unlock allowed: No.

However, if I try to fastboot (volume up while connecting to PC), the device’s LED light turns into Blue.

I read somewhere that this means I can unlock the bootloader. Is it true?

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Meloferz:
It's says "no", you have to read the first post of the op for unlocking, there is no other method for unlock

Hi,

I have Xperia U that is not simlocked,but bootloader unlock is not avaiable.

How can i enable bootloader unlock
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] FloatingPoint:
Hi!

I am very happy I discovered this thread, it's the most useful I've found so far!

Probably the method would work, but in Hungary T-Mobile charges 15000 Ft (about 48 €) for unlocking the SIM lock... But maybe there is another chance to flash a custom ROM on the phone: PC Companion could update it (from the official Android 2.3 to 4.0.4), so it may be possible to place the image file into one of the program's dirctories, and flash it through PC Companion. But it's only an idea, I don't know which directory it uses for the temporarily downloaded files...

how to sim unlock sony experia u st25i
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] acceleron:
On my Xperia SP

Simlock = NO

Bootloader unlock allowed: NO
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bsdnix:
Actually there is but not by conventional way. The only method to change of the status from NO to YES is to de-brand your phone. I have to send my to official repair shop by asking our local provider. They sent phone and they de-branded phone completely. Now I have possibility of unlocking the bootloader. Cheers.

Hi

im reading threads about Sony Xperia but I have shaked in my mind :) I have Xperia SP and it says to me

so I dont know what now? I can unlock sim in my phone? Or simlock is different than bootloader and separate them unlocks?

What I should do now?

I want unlock sim becouse I have not supported operator simcard and change the rom becouse I want upgrade android.

Maybe you something understood :D

Good morning.

I need a bit of help. I have one phone: Xperia M2 but "bootloader unlock allowed is no". My final scope is to fully unlock it in order to flash any rom I want, like CM. Can someone help me with this problem? Any suggest is precious. Thank you

I have this Xperia E1 device that has this "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO" problem, even though it isn't SIM locked anymore and I'm wondering about what I can do to set it to YES.

hi, am running cwm 10.1, but baseband is still on MC8, is it possible with odin to only update the modem/baseband to say MG2? and if so, where would i find this separate file?

tnx
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaXiS96:
To flash single files you can use Heimdall. Set it up, extract your PIT, go to the Flash tab, use the PIT you have extracted and then add only the partitions you need, with their files. Flash and enjoy.

Regarding the baseband update, I can't tell if it will work, nor what files you may have to use.

just upgraded to a 2i, unlocked to all networks, put my voda card in and can send and receive texts but not calls at all, any ideas? Tried an o2 card and its just the same,

thanx
[General Topics] christopherwoods:
I'm not sure what to make of this, sounds like something's seriously screwed. When I unsimlocked my 2i to copy the contacts off my old Virgin sim, I made a couple of test calls and it worked fine.

The only thing I can suggest really is that you try a hard reset and a Corporate install, then unsimlock right afterwards and give it another go. If you do do that, I'm not sure if making a full backup would help, because then when you restore it if you have a registry problem which is causing the error, it'll restore the conflict too.

The last time I did a hard reset, I wanted to keep all my text messages and contacts though, so I did do a full synchronisation with Outlook to save my contacts, and I used a really sweet programme called smsOrganizer to backup all of my MMSes and SMSes. It's not _the_ most intuitive of programs, and it does require a little manual file manipulation after the reset before you restore the files (obviously), but it worked just purfick for me :D

I can only really suggest a hard reset, because that's the only way I know for sure to eliminate any and all problems you have which are arising from pre-existing conflicts.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brissont:
Hi all,

I did a forum search and somehow didn't come up with anything, so here goes...

Has anyone else been experiencing ridiculously slow browsing in all browsers, even on WiFi? I've tried:

1) stock browser - fastest in my experience, but still a dog;

2) Chrome - dreadfully slow;

3) Puffin - slightly slower than stock;

4) Dolphin - slow, and dislike the UI/UE;

5) Firefox - again, slightly slower than stock browser.

With all browsers, my cold load speeds are somewhere in the 25 to 45 second range (sometimes they don't even load due to browser crashes; which has happened at least once with all of them), and hot loads are never below 15 seconds, even on fast & strong WiFi connections. I am running stock rooted, 4.1.2, RAZR XT912. Otherwise phone is quite speedy and stable (all window animations turned off, and ROM debloated).

Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated... What you did to fix/minimize it, etc. Will be interesting to see if this issue is specific to my handset.

Many thanks in advance to all!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] manny805:
stock and firefox seem to work better for me. chrome is slow ,but seems more snappy on 4.4.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Drunkula:
For me Chrome is sucky-slow. Stock is better speedwise. Been awhile since I've tried other browsers.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ivan11235:
How about non-browser software? Slowly too?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brissont:
Most other software runs quite smoothly and responsively. The primary exceptions would be Google Play and Maps. So now that I'm thinking about it, possibly a hardware issue?

I tried using tap and pay at Starbucks and it didn't work, but it says it's set up in settings and in Google Wallet.

So how does it work?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johmama:
You tap and pay.

But seriously: did the Starbucks have a PayPass terminal? It should look something like below. If so, what happened when you tapped it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandacookie:
No, they didn't. It was similar to that, but it was more of a bar code scanner.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taubin:
I'll have to try it here in New Zealand next time I see one if those payment options and see if it works.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greg Tolan:
Google wallet is US only. You would need another app that takes advantage of NFC and tap to pay.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxyz:
Such as? I tried looking on the play store. nothing. i live in canada
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greg Tolan:
Sorry I don't know of any. I would assume that at some point there will be more digital wallets utilizing nfc. I would be really suprised if PayPal doesn't get in the game really soon.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raistlin1:
To pay at Starbucks you need their mobile app which has a barcode that will scan at their scanner, I use it all the time. You an connect a gift card to the mobile app and then have that gift card auto reloaded by your credit card.

Try & checkout your local McD's to see they are participating and/or rolling out the pilot program, namely ISIS Mobile Payment system - details here - http://nrn.com/blog/what-they-didnt-tell-you-about-mcdonalds-mobile-payments-trials

I do recall seeing a similar terminal (didn't pay much attention to details) recently at the local McD while getting coffee in the morning - next to thte cash register, not sure if it was functional.

I suppose the demographic profiles of the junk-food consumer going to Golden Arches are more aligned with using smartphones like N5 with NFC enabled, oookkkaaayyy.

I was at Jack in the Box last week when I looked down and saw the "sideways wifi symbol" of PayPass. I had already setup Wallet on my phone so I gave it a try. It worked great. I tapped, my phone asked me for my pin, and then a few seconds later a receipt for my meal popped up on my phone. Later that night I tried at the CVS. I had read somewhere that if you are asked for a option (debit, credit....) choose credit. That is what I did at the CVS and all was well.

I am not sure how useful paying with Google Wallet is, but it sure was fun. The Jack in the Box lady told me I was only the 2nd person she saw pay like that...... trend setter and all :D

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemtan:
Not sure if it's enough for you but can't you just ask someone else to set a password on the device until exams are over? That way you won't have to reset everything and what-not.

edit: the alternative that you seem to be asking for is to flash a recovery and then format everything and once exams are over flash the stock ROM back. This will naturally wipe everything.

Just wonderng what other peoples experiences are with blue angels, I have an mda 3 model and I have had nothing but problem after problem. I have the buzzing screen which has grown to intollerable level, My internal battery keeps draining for no apparent reason, my power button snapped of the mainboard a couple of weeks after purchase and T-mobile would not fix it,

After having it fixed a few months later my power button now only works when I hold it to turn off the backlight but I cannot turn off the screen by pressing once (A few others have had this problem) it's not a hardware issue I don't think because I had it back to a phone shop that specialises is PDA's and they say noting is mechanically wrong with it. From pressing the power button once it seems to stay in the memory or whatever that I presses it and then when I do a soft reset, It hard resets. My internal battery has now started behaving but I still have this power button prob and the buzzing screen.

Also did they put legs in these styli because I have had each xda model and never lost as man styli as I have with this model!!!!!!

Just wondering if anyone else shares my frustration, I have had tons more probs and will post when I think of them!!

I will tell them about the screw so cheers!!

Which screw is it then? inside the phone?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] inane:
no its the one at the top, on the side next to where the stylus is held.

you may find its loose and when you tighten it the stylus stops falling out as much.

Hi there,

I have the i9195, but it's locked with Orange.

I've read Arco's tutorial about how to root it.

I'm understanding it and then I'll be able to install CyanogenMod

But how can I unlock it prior ? I don't think Cyanogen will unlock it for me, isn't ?

Last question, is Cyanogen supporting several language? I prefer to keep it in French.

Thanks a bunch,

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bewinxed:
Hey guys, I'm soon to be buying the Nexus 5 & I'm looking around seeing many people with claims of defected screens/vibrator motors/muffled speakers.

I really don't care for issues that are software based like camera/audio/battery drain that can be fixed with software, I'm very likely to Flash it with a Custom ROM & Kernel as soon as I get it, I had a galaxy nexus before and If this has better battery, I'm glad.

As I understand the Nexus 4 came with a hardware revision after it's debut last year, My question is, When is the best time to buy the Nexus 5 to avoid struggling with RMA's and stuff as I have never done this besides I'm shipping it overseas which will be a hassle to RMA.

TL;DR

1- Is the low sound on the Nexus 5 fixable with software mods (Is the speaker good but undermined by software or can it be boosted with no hardware damage)?

2 - With a Custom Kernel/ROM, Between some calls, Reading books & Watching Anime with minimal gaming and some web browsing mostly on WiFi, Will the battery run me a day of use?

3 - When will the Nexi 5 shipped out from google be less likely to have hardware defects? (Planning to buy it in the next 2-3 weeks).

Thank you very much <3
