Hi, I was wondering which combination of
flashtool + firmware
when DOWNGRADING from an UNLOCKED v20a
will retain the UNLOCK after the downgrade to say: v10a
And, on the other hand, which combination of
flashtool + firmware
will remove the UNLOCKED bootloader state during a downgrade to say: v10a or v10h etc.
Thanks,
Roesti

I don't know if it will work... LGFlash Tool seems to completly wipe the phone.
Better try to manipulate them with sdk or normal kdz flash programs.
AW: [O] 4.1.2->4.0.3 unlock retained?

I think You can Hard Brick your Phone because on Jelly Bean are the Bootloader unlock able on ICS not.
I understand that's you unlock your Phone.
But I'm nit sure please ask a XDA Member with skill how Dexter.
Sorry for my horror english but I'm only 15 year and come from russia and live in Germany.

Hello,
I found some not so used Note (european version) but it's locked on a carrier and on Gingerbread...
I want to be sure that unlocking will work (stay after reboot, etc..) either in GB or ICS.
Please confirm me this (and what's the best method/app to use).
Thanks!!

Does this apply to ICS Stunner and Paranoid? Does the unlock stays if update from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 (for example)?

It works on all roms & when you update you might lock your phone again to carrier. I saw somewhere some devices gets locked again after update from GB to ICS or 4.0.3 to 4.0.4.I am not sure but you can again unlock it using the same tool
Ok, thanks. What i read was some people getting the phone relocked after each reboot..

the phone will be relock if and if only your going to flash stock rom... specifically the LRK one... (that is from what I just gathered most)
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?

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

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
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium
bootloader unlock allowed:No
It is therefore another way?

I have too this phone but I'm using euro open v20a. I unlocked normally with leaked v20a and it stays unlocked with official one. So you can flash euro open and try to unlock with official procedure. Wish you luck. :good:

I was exactly in the same boat as you till a couple of days ago. Bell's official veriosn is still 4.1.2 if you can beleive it!!
So i went ahead and flashed the 4.3 journalists rom thats available here. Works amazing..smooth as butter and blazingly fast.
No point in waiting for upgrade to show up on your phone. You'll be lucky to get 4.3 by middle of next year from Bell!! they're pathetic when it comes to sony upgrades..

Ftf files are original firmwares.
Can be flashed to unlocked or locked boot loaders.
Locked loaders only prevents to flash 3th party kernels.

Grab my dual sim stock firmware version from the TWRP thread and flash it with newflasher v13.
It will wipe/factory reset your userdata.
But that is needed or you will receive a bootloop.
