[Tool][Unlocker][April - 01]3rd Party Bootloader Unlock tool - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Hi all,
I have managed to create a third party tool that will unlock the bootloader of the Xperia T (It should work on Xperia TX/TL/V users as well) where the service menu says "bootloader unlock allowed:= No"
Downloading this will NOT break Bravia or track ID or anything else
If you have previously unlocked via the official way then downloading this will work for you too
It works by utilising a new release of a .zip archive and incorporating .img (Images) files that will guide you through the process.
All you need to do is:-
Download the attachment.
Save it on your desktop
Extract the contents to your desktop and read the instructions.
It should work on PC's and Macs
Please report back what you think.

Thanks,
Which device was it?
Also you could try this when connecting the phone in flashmode
Code:
Press volume up twice, release, press power button briefly, then both together for 5 seconds, hold and put in the usb cable

This is a special flashmode
"Qualcomm download flashmode"
and its used by Sony engineers to "force" a locked bootloader to flashmode when it doesnt want to. Its not normally needed but for some non Xperia devices it is

Does that work in xperia tx????

Try using flashtool to flash the original firmware.
Check if holding the vol - works.
If it does. Then you dont have to worry. Your device will be fine.

Try googling for the .ftf file for your Xperia Z. Then you can flash the firmware with flashtool & I think.u should do it before your battery is gone...
Cause after flashing ftf it takes almost 3-4 minutes to boot.

i was following the step that found in XDA

the files you can download inside.BUT something you should be aware~
1.this two file (Z_DooMLoRD_CF-Auto-Root-ported_FW-350.img and Z_DooMLoRD_insecure_FW-350.img)
should put it in the same of adb.exe file (c:\xxx\sdk\platform-tools\)
2.IF you don't know how to connect devices in fastboot mode in step 6 (following by the website i gave)
you should wait after flashing CF-Auto-root and reboot about once , plugin your usb and press VOLUME UP key TOGETHER
in that time ,you should see a blue led light on your devices.
I'd try that just disconnect and hard power off ,and plugin usb normally ,you will be fail to enter fastboot mode.
So my solution of solving boot loop after flashing CF-auto-root ,is PRESS and HOLD VOLUME UP key WHILE plugin your usb.
i did a big and long time reseach that teaching how to root xperia z ,all haven't point out that the method of entering fastboot mode
maybe they use another way to enter anyway my devices is running normal now and rooted
Hope these can help you :laugh: and

Thanks. I will try again later.
Anyway, I am running on Windows 8 and I'm not sure if it could be one of the issues I've faced.
I installed both the Flashtool abd Fastboot drivers and it was ok except for the Google driver which it said was not installed.
I checked the Adroid SDK by running the SDK pgm and it tells me I have Google Drivers (version 7) already installed.
So it should be ok, rite??

Tried but still cant detect my phone......it just stays at BLUE LED (volume up) and PC still cant detect phone.
When I pressed volume down, there is no light.
When I press the power button, it starts to boot-loop
Btw, which drivers are you using and where did you guys get your drivers from?
I am downloaded the Android SDK drivers with Google USB drivers Rev 7.

[Q] Xperia SP cannot update firmware

Hi Guys,
I have recently bought a Xperia SP C5302 and am running the 12.0.a.1.211 firmware.
My problem is that recently Sony PC Companion informed me that there is a new
firmware version out 12.0.a.1.284 and suggested I update. My PC proceeded to download the update
and it asked me to switch off the phone and while pressing the volume down button,
plug in the USB cable. I did exactly that and no response. I tried everything again and still nothing.
I have gone to the official Sony site and checked and they claim that its the Volume Up button,
here is the link..........
unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/fastboot-buttons ( I am not allowed links)
I may have gotten confused with the Fastboot and the Flash tool but however I have flashed a xperia phone before.
I flashed my old Neo V from gingerbread to ICS with no problems.
So my question is this: How do I install this update if my phone wont go to the Flash tool utility or whatever its called?
The volume up and down buttons do not work and I have tried to install Sony's other programs such as Update Service and
Update Engine.........all to no avail.
Some suggestions regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Can't really help with prob but can help to clarify the button pushing.
Button up=fast boot
Button down= flash mode
You can always use flash tools which you can Google for.
Then download any of the .257 or .284 builds put the file inside flash tools folder and then install this to phone while connected to PC in flash mode.
Sent from my C5303 using xda premium
Thanks but what is the difference between the Fastboot and the Flash Mode?
Your suggestion is good except I cant enter either mode at all. I push the buttons and nothing happens.
I use the same program and the same PC but my girlfriends Xperia L handset and it jumps to both modes
fine. When I push the down button on her phone I see immediately on my PC that it has found new hardware
(SEMC Flash device) and when I push the volume up button I see the Blue LED notification light, which from my
research indicated that it has entered Fastboot mode.

Check to see that you have installed the drivers correctly for your phone, if you have the old flashtool then download and upgrade to the latest one and install all the drivers included with it, might work after that.

The difference between them is one is used for flashing stock roms to your phone this flash mode y pressing button down and keeping down while connecting cable to PC.
Fastboot mode is only available if your bootloader is unlocked this is used for sending kernels to your phone again this fine while holding the button up keeping pressed up while connecting Cale to PC.
As suggested forget using PCC or sus but use flash tools instead.
Sent from my C5303 using xda premium
I have never played around with the Bootloader before nor with Custom Roms so I am unsure
to which flash tool you are referring to. is it the one found at the Sony Developers Website?
The one that has the Emma file or whatever embedded?
Also my PC which is running Win 7 Pro installs the drivers automatically for me and as long
as they are successfully installed I am also unsure as to how to make sure that they are the
right ones.
Assuming that I do use Flash tools, where do I get the patch build file or whatever to update the software?
Will this void the warranty?
Many Thanks!
Flashtools is a third party tool that was created by xda devs. It is really easy to use and set up.
It works in same way as Sony update service or PC companion but you are not restricted by what software you can install.
Follow this link to download on PC http://androxyde.github.io/
Install on PC, connect phone to PC while switched on It may prompt you to install drivers.
On this forum most Sony users use this rather than Sony's software.
You can find links to the .257 and .284 builds these are in a file format that flashtools use so no need to extract or rename.
Once installed open flashtools folder and you will see other folders this is where you put any of the roms stock, custom , kernels etc
The only way you will lose warranty is by opening bootloader using flashtools to install software will not lose warranty.
When you are ready to use flashtools power down device and hold volume button down for flash or vol up for fast boot then connect came to PC....
As regards drivers on PC not working I am sure what to say it why you can't buy flashtools does come with drivers for Sp so would say download, install then try connecting phone.
If this don't work I can't help anymore sorry.

Updating using Sony Pc companion doesn't ask for pushing buttons. It's all automated...

You are wrong about that. It asks you at some point to unplug your phone switch it off and enter flash mode.
Anyways sent my phone back to Sony and they replaced the board. They don't seem to know what's wrong either. They couldn't get it to enter flash mode either.

I know this is a late reply but as I said before in a previous post, I sent the phone to a Sony Repair Center and they ended
up replacing the motherboard for me as something was wrong with it. If nothing you do seems to work then it might just
be a hardware problem and needs to be checked out.
I have sold my SP and bought a Galaxy S3 and had the same issue trying to install custom ROM. Couldnt flash anything at all and
problem was hardware related as well. eMMC chip was faulty and had to replace the eMMC chip and the motherboard.
Good Luck with yours! Hope it was fixed!

Did i brick the phone ?

After i tried to root the phone ( bootloader unlock went successful ) i think something went wrong
I can turn on the phone anymore. If i try with Power Off button + volume up key, i have the blue led on ( with USB cable connected to PC )
If i try with Power Off button + volume down key, the led is red ( with USB cable connected to PC )
I also tried to turn off the phone from the small yellow button, from the simcard cage
When i check in Device Manager, i can see the "Android Phone - Sony ADB Interface" but i can't see the phone in My Computer.
Do you think i can bring it back to life ? The phone is brand new, i ordered from the online shop. If i send it back, would they see that i unlocked the bootloader ?
What would you suggest me to do, guys ? Could that be a software or hardware problem ? How could i know that, actually ?
Please help me with some advices.
Thank you.

If i root ( successful ) the phone as you said in pm, is not important if the bootloader is locked or unlocked ?

Unlocking bootloader and rooting isn't the same thing.. Root gives you superuser (permission to system files) and unlocked bootloader gives you permission to flash unsigned bootable images (boot.img files) on your Xperia!

Need Help.

My sony xperia z will not power on anymore. If i connect it to a charger, it shows the sony logo and keeps restarting. When i connect it to my computer not much happens. SUS can detect it and i tried updating it, it downloads and installs and tells me to restart my phone but still nothing happens and the same thing as before happens when i connect it with a charger.Sony PC Companion app does not detect the phone.
So i tried flashing with xperia flasher and i downloaded a 4.3 stock rom, flashed it but then at the end it says usb debugging mode must be enabled but i do not think its enabled, nor can i check since my phone does not power on.

So i tried flashing with xperia flasher and i downloaded a 4.3 stock rom, flashed it but then at the end it says usb debugging mode must be enabled but i do not think its enabled, nor can i check since my phone does not power on.
Please Help!!!

Did you try to hard reset it? Try to press power and vol up.
What to you mean with xperia flasher? Download a .ftf file and use flashtool

sorry meant FlashTool. i did flash and it completed it successfully but when i tried powering on, nothing happend. so i connected to charger and the sony logo loop restart happen again. it said at the end of flashing that usb debugging must be enabled so i think that may be the problem why it did not work.
I have tried hard reset. It vibrates once, pauses and then vibrates 3 times and then nothing.

What if you open pcc, select repair phone and follow the steps on screen? (your phone has to be powered off)

I know, but I wasn't sure if you tried it with the repair method. If you just plug your phone in to the pc, it won't recognize it. But when you use the repair method, pcc tells you to power off the phone, and bring it into flashmode

When I open up pcc and select "Support Zone" - "phone / tablet software update" - "repair phone" it'll ask what phone you have, then you select it, it will download the firmware and ask you to power off the phone and plug it in while holding vol up

Sorry my bad. You were right.
However i don't think i had a repair option. It is currently downloading a firmware i think.
I'll keep you updated.
Thanks a lot.

nvm, found out how to do it. Completed it but it still does not work.
Is it cause i need at least 50% battery? If so, is there any way of doing so? because if i connect to wall charger it does the sony logo restart loop and when i connect to pc it goes in mtp mode.

I don't think it's because of your battery level..... I'm sorry, but I can't help you on that....
I think you have to send it to sony for repair. As long as you haven't modified anything on your phone they should repair it
Edit: Before you send it to sony, try their chat, sometimes they can help
Your bootloader is unlocked? And have you tried flashing ftf using flashtool?

If you dont know bootloader unlock, its most probably its locked. Grab an ftf and flash with flashtool. Usually update service works.

I have done that before so that means it should be unlocked.
Now what do i do?

Reflash stock firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=52630436 useing flashtools http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1943886.
After doing this if you want to put a custom recovery on the phone I would suggest you flash Dooms kernel from here in fastboot mode, you can get it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52653410.
If you then want to re-root the phone flash chainfire's update SU zip from recovery, this can be obtained here: http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip, then download the SuperSU app from the google store.
Just a quick note, Dooms kernel only works on stock firmware.
Hopes this helps :fingers-crossed:

No. I have installed xperia tx drivers
Go to the falshtools folder, in there is a folder named drivers, install the exe, when it prompts you select all the drivers, really can't hurt you.
Open the flashtools application and click on the lighting icon and select fastboot mode, click on browse and direct it to where your downloaded firmware is the select flash, wait for it to prompt you to connect your phone, at this point hold down the vol down button and connect the USB, wait for all to flash then unplug the USB and boot your phone.
Sorry if you know how to do any of the above just making sure I cover all steps

My phone have the bootloader locked
That most probably explain why you can't flash it, should have asked and not assumed, wait until I get home and I'll post a couple links on how to unlock the bootloader, or if anyone else would like to do this for me!

Have you tried to repair it via pc companion? If you unlock your bootloader in that situation you will lose your drm keys. It's just soft bricked. How did you install cmw?

I forgot about the digital rights management, seeming all the music I buy gets converted to lossless you can see why it never crossed my mind.
Ok, if you still want to use flashtools, unlock the bootloader here http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
If not open pc companion, click on how to connect my phone, a screen will pop up, click on repair phone, and follow the instructions.
Sorry for the late reply been bogged down with my company paperwork

I don't know if things are different with the T and V, but I've used Flashtools on my TX while having a locked bootloader... so I don't know how much truth there is to that statement; correct me if I'm wrong.
