Just checked and it appears that there is a new FW certified. I hope this is for the UK generic as I have not received the 7.0.A.3.195 or .197 FW yet. I am still running 7.0.A.1.303.
Why not just flash the ftf?

It has not been released yet, it has only been certified by ptcrb, that does not even gurantee it will be released.
No I mean for 3.195

i see, maybe he does not want to unlock the bootloader but wants to have root.

I do not want to change the UK generic FW I have now. I would rather keep it until I get the official update.

No, this is the original FW. I still have that. It has not been updated yet.

You can find UK .ftfs in the all in one thread if you want to update to 7.0.A.3.195

The 195 firmware in the all-in-one thread is for Vodafone UK (and one for O2 UK I've just seen added.)
Just like Batman, I'm waiting for the generic UK version. Up to you though SWFlyerUK.
Any difference between them?
My phone was bought from and locked to Orange.

Thats fine, but all you have to do is remove the bloatware and you will end up with a debranded FW, that is of course if you want to root, and on this FW you need to unlock the bootloader to do that.

none at all, you will just get some extra vodafone bloatware apps that can be removed with titanium backup, again with the proviso you want to root.
Thanks for the quick response, determined not to mess with this phone, so it's rooted but will keep bootloader locked and stock firmware

Thats fine, but if you update to .195 you will have to unlock the bootloader in order to root it again, unless a new exploit is found.
Hi all please help me
My phone was bought from and locked to Orange.
Orange blocks fastboot and assumes simlock.
can i unlock My bootloader? if so, how.
due to the original method: allowed-NO
(so sorry my english is poor)
Goto the dial pad and type
#*#*service*#*#
Look for the menu to see if bootloader unlocking is allowed.
If it is then follow my guide in the all in one thread on how to unlock via the official Sony way

bootloader unlock allowed:No
It is therefore another way?

No, not that I know of. Sorry.
Ok, so my question is what if I unlock my phone? Is it just the same as De-branding my Galaxy S?
I debranded my Galaxy S because it was branded by Tmobile. I wanted to get the latest android versions, so I had to do that. (Tmobile NL always comes with the phone updates after half a year if not a year)
So now my question is, is unlocking the bootloader the same as de-branding? When the 4.2 update comes I would love to have it and not wait 3 years.
Thank you for reading, hope someone can give me advice or tips!
Unlocking the bootloader does not de-brand your phone, nor does making it simlock free.
I have a simlock free Xperia Z with a unlocked boot loader and also use T-mobile, but the T-mobile bootsplash is still there.
Iam pretty sure there must be ways to remove the splash when unlocked, but just unlocking itself will not de-brand it.
Lets hope someone can tell us how to get rid of this.
Kind regards, Stefan.

Ah oke, that clears some up. Now i just have to find a way to de-brand it. I hate the Tmobile brand. Just because they are just so late with their updates.... I buy a new phone and want to keep up-to-date.... Not get out-dated
To get rid of the T-Mobile stuff you just need to flash an unbranded firmware to your phone. Check the forums for how to do all that.

That makes sense. Do you think it will slow down my phone or something like that? Or lower the battery life?
Iam kinda sure it will not slow down the phone.
However I will wait for 4.2 to release and will then flash a unbranded firmware.
If not to many bugs are reported in 4.2 that is, else I will stay on 4.1 a little longer and perhaps look for a way to de-brand it then.
Kind regards, Stefan.

Hi
Just wondering whether anyone has an XT bought from O2 UK, as I am looking to get one of these phones, and whether you were able to unlock the bootloader (do O2 allow it?)
Also, what state are CM10/10.1 in right now, as in what does/doesn't work.
Thanks

I don't have O2, but this has been dealt with several times in the forum before regarding unlockable phone or not.
Type *#*#7378423#*#* and check with "Configuration" for youself
@datagubben
I think he is asking before he buys the device.
@razzmataz1478
I suggest ask the salesman when he sells it to you, and if he cannot answer the question goto to vodafone, every single phone I have from them is sim unlocked and bootloader unlockable.

I'll be buying this online, as it's refurbished and quite cheap, albeit on a bad tariff (100MB internet :crying.
I did talk to an online adviser who was pretty useless and had no idea what a bootloader was, so that is why I came here to see if anyone with an O2 branded version could tell me. I shall wait for an answer

It'll probably be the same as my xperia T (sounds like the same deal i got), the bootloader is not unlockable on mine.
I'm on o2, got the Xperia t. I'm locked completely :/ we're hoping for a kexec or some other way around it by tampering in the ta, but nothing yet.

I'm fairly sure O2 phones are locked for good. I got mine off phones4u having cancelled my O2 order after finding out this was the case.

Hm that doesn't sound too good. I'm still thinking of getting the T but I was looking forward to putting some CM ROM on it. Guess I'll have to live without. Thanks guys.
What about flashing a generic ROM? Would that work? I've never owned a phone with a locked bootloader so I'm not sure how they work.

Just get a vodafone Xperia T if you really want to unlock the bootloader.

Of course they can....whats your point? Stock FTF's are complete stock roms.
Got my Xperia T on o2 through Tesco Phone Shop,
sim unlocked and unlockable bootloader.
My Xperia T is from O2 which was sim locked and bootloader locked.
Thanks to the folks at Cellunlocker.net, after emailing them, 2 days later my sim was unlocked, and my O2 sim was set on fire and extinguished through urination.
Cost £25 through Cellunlocker, O2 cost £20 AFTER 12 months usage.

True, He did say that, but since its blindinly obvious that that is allowed I interpreted his "generic" rom to mean a "stock based" rom, looks like we got our wires crossed.
Edit
To clarify the point
All phones can flash stock FTF files
Rooted phones with recovery can flash stock based roms and FTFs
Unlocked bootloaders can flash custom kernels, all custom roms, stock based roms and FTFs
Good that you clarified it Greg, I agree that it was not completely clear what he meant.

I'm in India but got an o2 uk unlocked XT!! the bootloader is locked forever. better not to buy from o2
I am in the market for an Xperia T, but I wanted to know if all of the T's have an unlocked bootloader and if not, is there a way to ascertain how a bootloader is unlocked if I were to purchase one online? I know of the code to check it, but I'm not sure sellers want to check for me.
Thanks for your time guys.

Be patient, the update 4.3 show up just today. Developers don't do miracles but in next days will be released a Rooted Firmware 4.3 so the only thing what you will have to do is update your phone, done.

No, you need unlock bootloader to flash custom roms with custom kernels. If you Unlock the Bootloader on 4.2.2 you will kill the camera but the 4.3 update fix that. So probably the Developers will start make 4.3 Custom Roms so you can unlock bootloader as well. Have nothing to do with root you phone. The rooted firmware is not released yet so you can wait few days. We all waiting. This is new stuff so you have to give time to developers.
