[Q] Unlocking bootloader with 11w## greater than 29?

Under my battery, it clearly says 11w40, and it's been told to me that you can unlock the bootloader with the number up to 29. Since my X8 is stuck on Eclair, and I hate that, is there a possible way to get a custom ROM, with 11w40?

Its not necessary to unlock bootloader for a custom rom
first root your phone then install recovery
search for a rom for stock kernel and install it

You can use custom roms but you need those that tell "(for) stock kernel"

[Q] Bootloader unlock allowed: no

Hi, I've started looking into rooting my T and started finding out if I could unlock my bootloader to start off with, when I saw that in my service info menu I can't unlock the bootloader... What can I do now? I would like to install custom kernels and ROMs but can't with this in place. I'm with o2, using the James bond edition. Any help please? Cheers!
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app

If the service menu says no, then you cannot unlock your bootloader,which means no custom kernels and that you are limited to custom ROMs that are stock based

I read somewhere that it was related to bring sim locked. If I sim unlock could that help?

I know this is not for xperia t, but some loose connections are made between sim unlock and boatloader unlock allowed. I'll test it when coursework isn't so piled up, or if anyone else could test it?

Have fun,
1. you have to pay
2. you need a removable battey
if you have a removable battery good luck (But you have the LT30p, so no removable battery), but be careful, because if you get the wrong test point you will HARD brick your phone. And without knwong which is the test point.its all a guess

It says that newer models have the same unlock code nowadays. At any rate I'm afraid I can't test right now

Stumbling block 1 with this method
How are you going to remove your battery to find the test point?
do you not think this would have already been tried...its already a method used on xda, I used it to unlock my neo (The free method).But on the T..how are you going to get the back off without specialist tools

What I'm going to do is first just SIM unlock and see the config menu to see if the unlock status has changed. I'm not going to interfere with the hardware. I might also ask my carrier why that's in place and if they can do anything about it. That's my plan so far... I don't know much about the programming of android but I presume that this is simply a value which is similar to Boolean; true or false, so would it not just be a matter of finding the relevant code and changing it? Like taking the (I'm assuming that this would be in system file maybe?) Files of a t with unlock allowed and comparing it to one with unlock denied? Or simply flashing a generic firmware which is unbranded? I only know a bit of visual basic, so sorry if this sounds stupid. I'm still a learner

If it was that simple, it would already be done. We have devs with EMMC access that can not do that yet, so a pleasent phone call to your carrier is not llikely to work.
Thanks for enquiring, and if you have any ideas please PM bin4ry or the_laser, they are the guys that are up to date with this,
regards
greg

I can confirm that having the SIM lock removed by your carrier will not change the bootloader unlock status. Done this with my Xperia T skyfall edition being locked to o2, SIM unlock Code given by o2 but bootloader is still locked and not available to unlock
Just another note updated firmware but lock is still there, just encase anybody was thinking after updating it may have changed.

Why shouldn't it be allowed? Is there some rule barring to post free unlock links I'm not affiliated with in any way? If so, I kindly ask the mods to delete this thread.
But the thread on the Optimus G forum is there since almost 3 weeks and nobody complained...

It's allowed. Nobody forces you to pay dollars for unlocking and this thread is a valuable share

This is nice. I personally am quite against locking phones. Remove them shackles!

Looks good - I think people are just skeptical because usually unlock codes need to be bought (around $7.99 at the lowest), so we think "warez" when we see "free." Of course certain models like the iPhone and my old HTC Desire Z can be unlocked through pure software exploits (related to baseband) but those are more well documented.

It works! after 4 day you get 3 codes nck nsck spck. My phone was locked to telenor hungary and now it works with vodafone sim card.

I've read about privacy issues with sharing your IMEI. There is always that uncertainty that someone might do you wrong.
But from what I've read fremyblackberry has been around for more than 2 years and has tons of forum posts on different sites that confirm a satisfying service. Having said that, i think that it is unlikely that the service itself would abuse your IMEI.
However one should NEVER post IMEI-s in a public forum. I've stumbled upon forums where some user offers free unlocking by code, and users blindly race to post their IMEI hoping to get a free unlock. That way those codes can be read by the whole world, which is far more likely for them to be abused by someone.
Bottom line is, if in doubt, don't do it.

This would have been useful one month ago.
I payed just £0.99 to unlock my LG 2X anyway.

do I need to be on stock ROM to unlock?
I tried dialing 2945#*990# in CM10 and nothing happened

Hi deewhy,
Yes, you have to revert to stock first. You should do a nandroid backup before. I suppose the CM ROMs don't contain the code for unlocking SIM-locks.
After unlocking it, just restore the backup.

And can i flash the rom via CWM? Or it's necessary to do trough smartflash?
Thanks,and sorry for my bad english.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

It depends how you flash a stock ROM.
If you flash a stock rom ZIP file, you will be able to restore CM via CWM recovery.
If you flash a stock rom in .fls/.bin file, your CWM recovery will be overwritten, and it will be more difficult to reinstall CM.

Advice

Hi there!
Well this is a pretty simple thing: I have a SE Arc S and Im thinking on getting a LG 4x! Since you guys have been using it do you recommend it? Also I know that it comes or is upgradeable to ICS, but is it going to get JB?
Is the root process easy? Bootloader unlock? Etc.
I appreciate all feedback!
Thanks

Try Flashing a Euro Open found here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/ with kdz flash tool.......and please stop making so many threads about each and every question. And if you must do it then post it Q & A section. Thanks.

I do not think that you need to downgrade to 10H for that ....... If it does not work then you can downgrade to 10H but I am quite sure that it will work and you won't lose any data.

Did you manage to get your phone onto the EURO Firmware or you just unlocked your current firmware ?
To unlock the phone and install a custom ROM I take it that you must root the device first so :-
1) root
2) Unlock
3) cwm
4) custom rom
I am coming from a Galaxy S2 which I did not have to root just use ODIN so thats why I am asking because I want to go straight to custom CM10
