Hi,
I am trying to unlock my Xperia T so I can run cyanogenmod, but cant unlock the bootloader menu to run fastboot. I read that if the screen below says "no" then it cannot be done.
Is this true? Is there any way around it?
Any help will be appreciated

I feel your pain brother.
You should add it to your all in one thread in big, bold, red letters.
I took the liberty of performing a search for you as you are obviously unable to do so:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=200246106
Its already in there in the FAQ but I took your advice

I bet it does, I just looked through post 2 of that thread, and it is written at least 3 times in there.....
Maybe if I can get it down to just every other day I have to answer this it will help.
Or, I could be mischievous and just start saying yes, of course it can be unlocked, but I am not going to tell you how!

To unlock the bootloader you need a magic key that ony Thor possesses:
I must add this to the OP of this thread,
Please do not be afraid to ask question in these forums again, but please PLEASE use the search function first. I (and others) are very keen to help, that's why we are here, to help each other as we were all nobs as well at some point. But the first and best lesson I learned was to Search and read and try for yourself before asking questions.
thanks for the replies, yes i know, should have, would have, could have etc...
One more question: why is it that some xperia T's can be unlocked and some not?
Please use the search function before opening up threads. Thanks.

I've seen this problem before. There's a simple solution for it here.
Do not post non-development threads in the development forum.

Forum rules:
3. Post using a clear and descriptive subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question, if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail, what your problem is and what you've done to try solving it.

Imo ''thanks in advance'' isn't a clear and descriptive subject...
5. Create a thread or post a message only once.
As a large forum, we don't need unnecessary clutter. You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer, revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time so it might take a while before you receive an answer. (Also refer to Rule 16)

Hi i think the threads in general is becoming way more a jungle to me than actually help
So I'm trying to find out which file or exploit i can use to get my phone rooted.
My model:
GT-I8190N
Base Band:
I8190NXXAMG1
And its European / Scandinavia version of the phone.
Any that have been in same boat that can guide me in right direction? or people that actually have the files to get it rooted for my exact model & version?
Thanks guys.
Try here. If doesn't work search better & it doesn't seems a jungle, don't be lazy.

Thanks for the quick answer and the quick judgement as well i assume, i already tried that trick and it did not work for me, perhaps i did something wrong but 2 times in a row and failed each i moved on with my search, iv tried for months to get it open ever since there was this tool on the forum where you could donate so he could add newer versions for support in his tool, now i cant really remember what name or the tool of it but, he suddenly became inactive or something. I guess I'm just stock on this ****ty rom, might as well just trash it and buy another phone.

Hi guys! I found a Combination ROMs for our phone, they have enable OEM unlock, hope it works to make root and TWRP for Snapdragon variant.
https://www.t-flash.net/samsung-combination-firmware/
Is these combination ROMs can possibly work with SM-G965W (Rogers) or any other way around?

if you mean for g965u/u1 or g960u/u1 it never worked.. if it did ud see all variants unlocked lol.. just bcuz the switch is there doesnt mean it works..
these threads are misleading and not development at all, they just post a link to a site that has combo firms which are available all over the internet.. should be in the general section..
ive reported them to a mod but doesnt seem like they looked into having them moved to the appropriate section

Again, no.
These are posted all over the internet and do NOT allow you to unlock or get root on the us or Canada 96XU and 96XW models. They also don't help bypass rmm prenormal on exynos (96XF/FD) or unlockable snapdragon (96X0) models. In short, they don't help with anything, other than frp bypass which is not a permitted topic on here. If anything they waste more time than anything because every time someone posts this stuff the same questions have to be answered again, and before they are people some time trying the same things that have been tried hundreds of times before and are known not to work. I personally don't think that is very helpful

Correct me if I'm wrong but I've read through the entire thread and nowhere did it say that this won't boot. Like definitively somebody said it won't boot on the 9650u. Don't come at me with that garbage I'm not out here making these stupid threads. Seriously. Obviously if it was this easy to get root then someone would have it for my device, no ****. Don't come at me with that noob parlor stuff. Seriously. The point is has somebody said "this ROM will not boot on your device" nobody said anything about this ROM actually. Is it exynos? Is it actually a COM .tar? Does it boot period? Where'd it come from? Don't come at me with your cheap post about being mad because somebody asked a question you knew the answer too. I'm sick of it on this specific forum.
Also don't take what I say to heart. I sound like an ass but it's hard to convey emotion over the internet.

Except it doesnt help anyone with anything, it just causes more confusion and gets peoples hopes up for something that is impossible. If anything it takes time out of other people's day to have to come here and explain how this just nothing and not a magical unlock for their USA snapdragon

Well Do you know what Version of FW you are running? like G960USQS7CSI5 or G960USQU7CSK6.? I Used a Combination Firmware to Flash the Phone, You should be able to get into the phone settings enable everything you need and in settings, like Developer Mode,OEM-Install, and USB Debugging. This how a combination Firmware should look (COMBINATION_FAC_FA80_G960USQU7ASJ1_FACFAC_CL13230190_QB26521439_REV01_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.EF). I'f you are still needing help Feel free to message me
How do I get the unlock code and what program do I use to unlock it? Is the unlock code in the box or do I need to contact someone from Huawei? If the latter where do I contact them?
