Probably yes. I need to fix a small issue first. I am going to open a thread with a quide and ROM.

[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] kanej2006:
Would unlocking the bootloader have any impact on the phone such as high image noise/poor image quality?

If not, what are the negatives of unlocking the bootloader?

Previously on my old Xperia Z2, unlocking the bootloader removes image enhancements and introduces noise in the camera...
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] quailallstar:
I don't find the XA1 Ultra under the bootloader unlock list either. What model do I choose from the list - the XA1?

https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] kanej2006:
Yes, use XA1, no issue. We all did the same. Root and recovery is working without any problem.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] quailallstar:
Thanks for that info. How would system updates work once I have rooted the phone? Is there a step by step?
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] janjan:
Use flashtool to get the future updates.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] kanej2006:
The only way to update is by using flashtool to manually update. However, you will need to root once again after updating using the same method as before.

Also, to update via flash tool, you will need to get hold of the FTF file to update.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] Beanzy420:
whats the update?
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] rhaneyjr:
What do you mean? There is no update at this time. Flash by going to the beginning of the thread and follow the instructions.

no this is bs I cannot use xa1 instructions to unlock my xa1 ultra its not the same I got error while unlocking the bootloader

[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] Vahkiti:
Same here. Is yours by any chance also a Canadian unit? Perhaps they're being inexplicably locked here. (Mine is from Wind/Freedom, and the service menu lists the bootloader as not allowed to be unlocked)
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] mikeandjaimie:
Well that sux. I just bought the same one (Canadian version from Freedom Mobile) and was looking forward to unlocking and rooting this bad boy! (g3223) I hope this gets sorted soon!
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] Vahkiti:
Unfortunately, if my understanding of Sony devices is correct, if the bootloader says it can't be unlocked, there is no known way around that. It is however possible to root without unlocking, there just hasn't been a workaround for this specific device yet.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] mikeandjaimie:
Yeah I just got around to trying to unlock my Canadian g3223 and gave my the same response.. Tried with and without the Oem unlock option in developers settings, no difference. Gonna try to contact Sony and see what they say the reason why the Canadian ones are locked but none of the others. Sux cause I'm really liking this phone cept for a few things, and that could all be fixed with root
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] bromanbro:
Yeah that sucks! I thought the Canadian variant would be unlock able as well (since Sony lets you unlock it via their site).

Canadian carriers suck. Everything here's locked.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] SRSCAA:
Moto G I had was bootloader locked I had to run I think adb commands to get a code that I submitted to motora. The in turn would give bootloader unlock code... Something like that anyway

Come December ALL CANADIAN CARRIERS are required to give unlock codes from what I hear
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] mikeandjaimie:
Those unlock codes are for sim locks (locking phone to a specific carrier), bootloader unlocking is a different process unfortunately.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] brljak83:
Hello,

Just got mine today..

Found online the secret code witch brings up the usual MENU to see things of the phone

Could someone explain me two things..

First wich I find almost answered by it self it is undet that MENU saying that my bootloader is not able to

be unlock.. its saying something like bootloader unlock allowed: NO

So that would be bad if it can really not be unlock

From my experiance it was usually that way.. if it is a NO than you got a NO bootloader unlock device

But I also looked at sim lock.. just to see couse the guy wich sold me the phone got it from one of

the provider in my country... and if you choose to see the menu of sim status..

Just the first number in the row says 5

But all others are 0

So there are 5 or 6 things in that menu.. and just the first number is 5 all others are 0

So I dont get it is it or is it not locked or how to tell that one

Could someone please help and explain

Thanks

EDIT:

check the SIM lock status in Service Menu - from the Phone dialer app type *#*#7378423#*#* Service info ► Sim lock

o Network 5

x Network subset 0

x Service provider 0

x Corporate 0

x SIM 0

o Network 5 - the phone is Network locked and you have 5 attempts to enter the unlock code.

If there is a 0 beside the category where a lock exists,

then it means that your phone is hard locked and you can't unlock it by code.

Well, as it looks like my phone has bootloader locked with no chance to unlock it

But my sim lock is not hard locked couse I can unlock it with the code after

the contract from provider is over..

Can anybody explain me now what is the problem for me if I flash something with

bootloader locked??

I mean what is the difference.

IF I want to flash the same custom rom ( when we have them )

What is the difference between locked and unlocked??

Can I more likely brick my phone or what... sorry for the noob question

Thanks
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] brljak83:
If bootloader is NOT allowed it will NOT UNLOCK

Hii

I just want to say to all users if they have a phone wich

in the hidden menu says bootloader unlock:NO

It will not be able to unlock it

I have mine got today

It is as I have found out sim lock but not hard locked so

that means I can unlock my sim with the code

But my bootloader unlock is in the hidden menu saying NO

Still

I have tried... I went to the sony official site

Give my IMEI number

Then got the email to confirm

Got the unlock command

But to use the command you need to prepare everything

Just like it is written from android studio, google usb drivers and replacing them

Then if windows does not allow you to install your usb driver

You need to go to recovery options ( thats for windows 10 users )

And reboot under number 7 so that you can install usb driver without the signature verification

After you did all of that you got all done..

Just start under sdk/platform tools the CMD and copy paste the

Unlock code given from sony

NOTE: IT WILL NOT UNLOCK, EVAN WITH THAT CODE GIVEN FROM SONY

IF IT IS IN HIDDEN MENU SAYING BOOTLOADER UNLOCK : NO

It will only give you the answer NOT ALLOWED..

Thats it

Just wanted to share with you guys who what to do the same becouse of

reading this and that from people writing you can or you can not...well now you know
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] brljak83:
I have found some cheap SIM UNLOCK service.

Actually it is the service from my provider

They send the phones to them when your contract ends and you want to unlock it

When I asked my provider they do not want to unlock it, said NO

But then I found out who is unlocking them

I asked the service and they said like

Oh, ok.. it cost you like 15 dollar and you will lose your warranty

I said it ok I know that.

But when I asked could you also unlocked the bootloader they said

That such an operation for them as Sony Service is not allowed to do by Sony

They said you need some other unofficial way to do it..

And I am thinking...ok..there is no rom support for our phone

My bootloader is saying unlocking NO in the hidden menu

But it just do not want to get out of my mind..

Can it be the SIM LOCK and carrier lock to prevent it to be an bootloader unlock YES

So, maybe next week...in 2-3 day I will maybe Unlock it and loose like 22 month warranty

And will report back if it changed anything :)

Wish me luck... I want to know ..
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] moses_dx:
If your Xperia is carrier branded then it can't have the bootloader unlocked, it doesn't matter the country or carrier, it's always been that way and no one have found a way to break that rule. If you love messing with the phone and sony then you have to get one from a sony store, and remember to always back up the drm keys
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] SRSCAA:
Mine is with Freedom Mobile Canada it's not branded by any company (when booting it shows only the Sony Xperia logo not any carrier..

I submitted my IMEI to Sony they sent me the bootloader unlock code.. have to use their program for unlocking it
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] moses_dx:
Is that a proper carrier or just a service that runs on the network of a major carrier?

Hi,

I ve had my honor 5c for a month and its great. Everything was working just fine and since last nightI dont have any service. I went to AT&T, they did everything that was possible, in settings, APN settings, network settings, we even reset the phone back to factory settings, and of course changed sim card, changed slot, everything... but my honor still tells me 'no service'. Can it be linked to the last update?

Please tell me there's a solution!

I don't know what to do... thank you so much for your help.

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know if it is possible to work out a way to sync the Tytn with a pc wirelessly if the pc and phone are on the same network?

For example - If I am home and forgot my cable at work to sync the phone to the computer. Is there a way I can map the tytn to find the Activesync partnership via my home wifi?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jonnobright:
I would say yes as you can activesync to networked devices. I did some searching and found a guide if it's any help.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chamelion:
you could just sign up to an exchange service :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ackerchez:
I thought about that but I think it would present problems. I use Thunderbird for my work and not outlook so I am already using the Birdiesync software to sync the Tytn.

Also, I am not interested in syncing mail as much as I am interested in appointments and contacts. Would an exchange service be good for this? Can you recommend a good and cheap/free one?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sacwoo:
you can try mail2web

http://services.mail2web.com/FreeServices/m2wLive/

I haven't used it, i have my own exchange server but I see it on the boards alot.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ucifmak:
mail2web

I have been using mail2web for almost a year. It is very good and the equivalent of a desktop PC. I can hard reset or install a new ROM anytime away from my PC and sync back all my PIM data over wifi or phone data service. It is still free, try it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ackerchez:
Can you explain how you set up mail2web with activesync so that I can give it a try? I went to the site and took a look but found it hard to envision the whole setup.

Honor on Facebook said we won't get emui 5.1 but a version of 5.0 with some updates to it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
I know, but this information from you came out before this guys asked honor on twitter, maybe they changed their minds?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Giuskiller:
I've contacted Honor USA by twitter and Honor Italy by facebook. Honor USA told me testually: "EMUI 5.1 will be avaible initially for P10 and P10 Plus, but we are working to get it on other devices too" it's not a confirmation, but sounds like something is moving on the Honor side. Honor Italy told me testually "About EMUI 5.1 actually we don't have any information yet, but surely the Honor 8 will receive software updates in the near future". They also didn't confirmed anything...but hey, initially EMUI 4.1 and 5.0 devices were totally excluded...now something is moving. I think it's a good sign. What do you think?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] _DaveP_:
Not sure, but the original reason was due to the hardware restricted some of the 5.1 features I think.

I don't know if this helps, but I have just chatted with honor us on twitter, this was the outcome.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SALENTINVM:

So what's the big difference between EMUI 5.0 vs 5.1?

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:

Battery life is much improved on 7.1 so I'd like to get it. My battery life on 7.0 is so bad I might have to sell this soon if there is no improvement soon.

Well, let's hope it gets updated to 7.1 :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Did you factory reset? If so, what's causing the drain? I don't lose more that 2-3% of battery during the night while I sleep. All power saving mode turned off, WiFi on, all accounts syncing turned on.

Wait for the next update or, downgrade to EMUI 4
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Also check to make sure you allow EMUI to close all the unnecessary apps when the screen is off.

hi everyone my name is Cameron and i just joined XDA today :)

So last night i attempted to root my S7 model number: SM-G930A and i messed up. I'm new to all this but its interested me for a while now and i thought i would give it a shot. So at the moment my phone just goes through the boot loop and is useless. I've tried using Odin to install the original firmware for the device but when doing so i get this message:

Note: when i put in the AP file Odin acts unresponsive and takes several minutes to load this portion so i thought that was strange. I've tried using v3.10.7 and the newest 13 i think it was and no success. Could anybody shine some light on this for me?

thanks for your time guys
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] CurtisMJ:
From what I could gather the latest is 3.12.7, so I'm not sure where you got 13 from. 3.12 and higher is required to flash the latest firmware so it makes sense it failed in 3.10. It freezes when you add the AP because it is verifying the checksum. Be patient, this software is an internal tool and not designed with user friendliness in mind. Try to get hold of version 3.12.7 and try again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] shaggyskunk:
Is the G930A an AT&T device? If so doesn't it have a Locked Bootloader? If this is correct - Root isn't going to be available with Chainfire and no TWRP.

BTW - It always takes Odin several seconds to load the AP tar file.

yes its an AT&T device. I couldnt tell you the answer to the bootloader question though. i barely know anything about all of this stuff, im just trying to learn but thanks for your input

Hello, i just created an Account.

I have an Problem with my HTC M8S.

I unlocked the Bootloader via HTC Dev-Website. The next step is to flash a custom Recovery. I tried so via Fastboot-Method.

I got the latest version of TWRP-Recovery and flashed it.

The Windows Command showed:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-m8.img

sending 'recovery' (20100 KB)...

OKAY [ 2.106s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 2.583s]

finished. total time: 4.689s

after that, i cleared the cache and rebooted. I flashed it many times but it doesnt seem to be working..

When I press the Recovery option in the Fastboot menu. The HTC Logo appears and then the screen turns black. Also the Fastboot menu doesnt show that the phone is "tampered"

Hope you could understand my Problem and maybe help me.
