no solution for unlocking BL with 11w29+?
hope can some one can do it with no hardbrick? im 11w48 im so sad because of my lock BL?
For the last time, please don't open such threads. You can unlock it but there's a high possibility that you'll brick it. You can get it done by the paid method, but I'm not sure how that's carried out. You can ask some other members (via PM, not by creating threads) who unlocked their bootloader via the paid method. That being said, if you try it and brick and come to us crying, we are not going to compensate for your loss. That basically means XDA is not to be held liable for any damage. You are on your own, but we will try to help.
Summary: It can be done, but the risk is too damn high!
at the moment there is not a free one.
Also why did you open a new thread? if there was one you would find it easilly
We're so losing hopes and have to watch every SDE, JB roms, and some awesome ixperia roms just screenshots.. Also we want to swap.. But we never can... So sad for the stock kernel.. ;(
I have 11w43 locked bootloader, too.. Don't sad..
I have unlocked my (11W43) with flashtool and all the flash Drivers installed and then at first i root the phone, after that i have installed xRec then i downloaded a rom and have it put on my SD and then i have make me sure that i have the Original Firmware latest firmware installed or you will brick your phone so or so . Now you download a Kernel for your "Rom" then you flash the Kernel via Flashtool and you go into the Recovery after the first start and install the Rom. I make a Video Tutorial for that if i have time .

WAIT a second....you have managed to unlcok bootloader on your 11W43???
Are you sure its 11W43???
Maybe its 10W43....take another look and write down what is your number
If it's 11W43 then NICE JOB :victory:
I have 12W03 and I hope I am going to be able to unlcok it soon,without hard bricking it

i dont know how making these posts is going to solve problems for people who are let behind with locked bootloader. Instead of wasting your time try to find some 'work around' for it. Maybe you can come up with a solution. It is better than saying that we are losing hopes.

Yea but he unlocked 11W43....how did he managed to do that
Ok bro. I will try paid method for it. Hope it would solve and it's the last thing I can do. And I love My X8 too much so I won't change handsets.

Luck.
If you search, you'll find some reports of people successfully unlocking their phones with this kind of dates.
Some of these posts are then followed by people who attempted to do the same, but just bricked their phones.

the procedure is the same as unlocking bl for 11w28 below devices. BUT the risk is great. SOME have been successful, but the majority bricked their phones.

Hello developers and xda members!
Some months/weeks ago I asked about rooting and warranty.I got some answers that if I unroot it or use SEUS I will not loose warranty.
This time is about roms and locked bootloaders.
If I install a CWM Recovery then flash a ROM do I void warranty?If yes is there anyway that I can make it so it's like I never flashed anything so the warranty will still last?
If yes what is the best rom I can install for LOCKED bootloader(I don't want to unlock it)?
I want a rom with good battery life + camera (I don't care if it's not 100% perfect but at least better than the stock one!)
Any answer would be helpful!
Thanks

Even if you unlock your bootlader you wont loose your warranty (if that is the reason you are not doing it).Just make a backup of your DRM keys and the unlock code and keep it safe.

I don't generally want to unlock bootloader.
Even if I don't unlock it and just install a rom(e.x Existenz) would I need to backup DRM keys?
Also can you give me a SAFE tutorial about backing them up?
I also asked about a good rom that has a good battery life and camera than the stock one.
What's your opinion about roms?What is the best based on your opinion?

If you wont be unlocking the bootlooder, you dont need the backup.Here is the thread with anything needed to get started with your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701644
I've never used the stock or other based on it (I use 4.3+ ROMs ), but other forum members say that Existenz is the best one out there.Currently, I am using the leaked 4.3,but it is for unlocked bootloaders.

Why would I need the list of things to scan with a NFC enabled phone?
Anyway so I will not void my warranty if i flash a custom rom and then "format" it with SEUS?
That's my point

Oops..wrong link!Here s the right one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354704
P.S. Im not sure but I think you will still have your warranty.Back in the days, when i had my xperia x8 and it got hardbricked, I lied to my operator that it got fully discharged and it never turned on again.The trick worked and it went to Sony with a custom ROM inside of it .Anyways..today i had to revert to stock, because the tutorial for the leaked 4.3 said so, but i encountered a problem - SUS said that my phone has modified software and it didn't complete the operation.I had to flash an .ftf image file with flashtool.But after all, It was successfull.
Ehm I got a question.At the install instructions of Existenz it says
Flash the rom.
Flash NUT reboot fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2317432
Flash 12.0.A.2.254 kernel only with flashtool (see FAQ).
As I see NUT reboot fix is for Xperia Z...Do I need to install this?Do I also need to install .254 kernel only again?At the FAQ it says about How to flash 6.2.B.1.96 Kernel with flashtool <- but this kernel is for Z...What happens?
Should I flash the rom then reboot my phone and OK?
Should I flash the rom then reboot my phone and existenz rom opens and then flash the NUT reboot fix?
Should I flash the rom then instantly install the NUT reboot fix?
Should I also install the kernel (12.0.A.254)?
I am kinda confused :/

1. Flash ROM
1.b Reboot phone
2. Use .bat from NUT (I used it after OTArootkeeper failed and I couldn't mount /system r/w)
3. Flash the kernel with Flashtool
Step 1b and 2 depend on what you prefer, flashing the fix or rebooting and let the computer do the fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317432
You can use NUT for the SP. About the kernel I'm not sure. I am on LB atm.
Hope this helps (except for the kernel of course)

I didnt backup before flashing, and now have false firmware, no sim signal, no wifi, battery heats as hell, and so on and so on...
I opened my Sony Xperia T LT30p- and found the original customization number and all that.
Its: "1266-6442 LT30p/Mobile Phone/Telekom.de DE (Germany)/Black"
So if anyone can help me to post here or a clue to find that firmware, he would be the God for me !

When i boot, the sony and xperia logo comes, and then that animation, and blocks there, and the phone restarts, and doing this all over again..
Just the 4.3, boots normal and all that, but i dont want that 4.3, want a previous version :/

This is quite strange
1) Locked or unlocked bootloader?
2) Have you ever flashed a custom kernel?
3) Have you ever flashed a custom rom?
4) What's your original firmware customization number? EDIT: I've just seen that's 1266-6442... is this your ORIGINAL firmware? Where do you live? In Germany?
5) Rooted? CWM?

Ok, yes, I know how it works...
I just asked about the bootloader status, because sometimes some people mess with bootloader, kernel, flash from recovery, flash with Flashtool... and so on... WITHOUT the understanding of what they're doing... and come here complaining... do you know what I mean?
OK, now, I know how to help you.
1)
There's a method to download and install the original firmware directly from Sony.
But you need to be rooted. So, are you rooted?
2)
Your customization number is wrong.
1266-6442 doesn't exist.
That's maybe the number of your model, but it's not related with the firmware.
The right number for Telekom Germany is 1265-9144
The customization number is inside your software and can be found pressing *#*#7378423#*#*, inside Service info --> Sofware info --> Customization Version.
Give me that number please, so I can understand what's the software working now on you device.
3)
You said "I didnt backup before flashing, and now have false firmware, no sim signal, no wifi, battery heats as hell, and so on and so on.."
Ok, please, explain better what you did.
Have you flashed what kind of rom? Via recovery?

Ok, now I've understood what's your situation.
It seems that when you flashed 4.1.2 firmwares, the process was not compete for some reason.
The list from which you get that number, is about all kind of xperia T... and is different from the firmware list.
The problem is that you lost your previous original number, maybe it was 1265-9144... and you can resume it only with root and a little bit of experience... and actually I'm not sure you would be able to handle this kind of hacking stuff.
Anyway I'm quite sure that 4.1.2 from CE is perfect for your needs.
Try this one with Flashtool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42393403&postcount=29
This firmware is perfect for any european country: I tested many times and is one of the best.
But before flashing, recharge your battery to the maximum. And be sure that the flashing process is complete and without errors.
Just try and let me know...

This kind of issue is called "bootloop".
When it happens, try to push "power button" + "volume up" together.
The phone will turn off.
Turn on again and if there's bootloop again, repeat the procedure on and on and on.
Try many times...

Well i did it, many times, didnt help.. And tried the soft and hardreset at least, didnt work either.. But im asking, why does this bootloop dont appear by any 4.3 version ?
Can i check somehow, is my phone rooted ?
Well, the other method wirh rooting and so on, must be done i think..

I can't answer to the first question.
You are the first with this weird problem and I'm beginning to think that something is broken inside your phone.
Bootloops are usual when something is wrong with kernel or system, but if you say that flashing went good and this appears only with 4.1.2 , I really don't know why.
You are not rooted because you've never done before and anyway every time you format the system (flashing with Flashtool or via recovery) you lose root.
So you are not rooted for sure.
The problem now is becoming bigger, because there's no way to root a 4.3 firmware directly.
But... guess what? You have to root 4.1.2 before and then install a 4.3 already rooted. :crying:
The only way for you to root 4.3 directly is to unlock your bootloader, but this means that you lose warranty and DRM keys (that are needed to let work some functions like Bravia Engine).
Actually you could save your warranty and DRM keys with a special backup (called TA backup), but.... guess what? You need to be rooted!!!! :crying:
The second way is to try to install 4.0.4 ice cream and root it. It could work.
I give you this link https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B55PDGQqCzReV2dFSjFSNnlLLVk/preview?pli=1
It's 4.0.4 italian version...
Try this... and if it doesn't work, the only way is to unlock your bootloader losing warranty and drm keys, sorry...

LOL :cyclops: as you wish...
1) Flash 4.3 with Flashtool
2) Unlock your bootloader on Sony official site following all the instructions: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
3) Once it's unlocked, open Flashtool and re-flash 4.1.2 CE that I gave you and you tried before: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42393403&postcount=29
4) Don't turn on. Download Doomkernel here: http://d-h.st/4kK
Unpack the .elf file inside the zip
5) Open Flashtool. Connect the phone to PC keeping pushed the volume-up button. Now the phone is in fastboot mode. Click on the lightning symbol, select fastbootmode, select kernel to flash, select the .elf file extracted before, done.
6) Unplug the phone. Turn on and you will see the doomkernel logo... and now I hope that you finally enter into 4.1.2 firmware without bootloop.
7) To root: you need to copy this file http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip to the internal memory.
Turn off. Turn on pushing volume-down repeatedly, now you enter into recovery, now install the supersu zip and reboot.

DAAAAAMN ! -.- :/ DommKernel logo is there, xperia logo, animation, and blocks again, restarts all the time.. I'm really desperate...
Now you have 4.1.2 with the doomkernel and the root, which is the perfect combination to do anything on your device.
If it's working, you can leave the phone in this situation.
Instead if you really want to go back to the original firmware, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334653
Follow the part A using this custom number 1265-9144 (t-mobile Germany). Remember you need root for this process!
Relock the bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924221
Plug to Sony PC Companion and Sony will re-install your original firmware.
My advice is to leave the phone unlocked and rooted with CE firmware

Damn.
Reflash 4.3 with Flashtool.
Download this Doomkernel: http://doomlord.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=VC1Eb29NS2VybmVsLXYwOQ==
Be aware: don't use the old doomkernel, but this one (v.09) that is specific for 4.3
Flash the elf file, as you did before.
Now you have doomkernel logo and you can enter into 4.3.
Now root it as I suggested in the previous posts (turn off, turn on pushing vol-down, flash suspersu zip, reboot).
Try.

Hi guys,
Now I have a dual recovery in my Sony Xperia Z,
I am following this,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/orig-development/zdevelopment-cm11-android-4-4-t2540633
And in the last few post, there's someone who mentioned there's a FXP325
but when i go to the official download page, http://unrestrict.li/FXP
I could only see FXP303 that has the date stamped of Jan 2014; is this the latest? or should I go with Cyanogen nightlies?
ETA:
the download link for FXP303 yuga did not work

If your bootloader was locked your phone is now hardbricked and you can throw it into the trash
If it still vibrates you can try to bring it into flashmode and flash a stock .ftf file

Do you know that after your first sentence you've broked the xperia z owners heart? Don''t be so rude... If would be in his place then I tink I get a heartshock.. But you're right. Owner, try SUS, maybe it'll work.

I know how it feels like, I hard bricked my Xperia T by trying to flash a custom recovery as a kernel via an app. It refused to boot after that... (but my bootloader was unlocked)
Also he mentioned that his bootloader was still locked, this usually means that his phone is now hardbricked. The fact that his phone still vibrates could indicate that he might has luck and he recover it, and I wish it him for sure, but it is very unlikely.
Btw, I didn't meant to be rude, I'm sorry if anyone felt attacked or anything like that.

If you have problems with CM11, post it in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/orig-development/zdevelopment-cm11-android-4-4-t2540633
But I'm glad you could recover the phone!
I hope you made a backup of your TA Partition before unlocking your bootloader..
Hey guys,
I've recently bought the Xperia Z1. Now I have some questions which weren't answered in all the guides I read through.
1. Im coming from Galaxy S3 where the recovery is stored on an seperate partition. How is it on Z1? I saw that you will flash the recovery to boot. So if I flash for example that Dualrecovery it will overwrite my kernel or is it somehow seperated too?
2. I saw that "brickclub" where people bricked their phones, just by flashing an ftf using flashtool. So that mean I can hardbrick my phone by flashing an FULL ftf and not excluding anything?
3. And another one...do you think that this device is already dead? I mean the developer support and so on. Because it has already two successors.
It would be great if someone could answer my questions.

Recovery is stored in the system partition where its protected by Sony RIC . You cannot hard brick a locked bootloader since you can't change the kernel or mess with anything else. z1 is still alive just Aosp ROMs are very hard to port due to barely no kernals so all development is done on Sony stock (Benefit for LB)
---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------
Also Dual recovery doesn't flash a kernal it just sends something to the system to process something then load into ram. If you reinstall a Ftf you lose recovery.

Why then you have to flash for example cwm recovery to boot? As @DooMLoRD said.

I thought Qualcomm and Sony were pretty open source and developer friendly. Aren't they?
And I didn't see many custom stock roms too.
I hope you (or someone else) could still answer my questions.

Nooo. On LB you can only Softbrick. Only go there were you device absolutely don't work..
When you install recovery is uses an exploit which enable to disable Sony Ric then install recovery
Yes Qualcomm and Sony are open, but the Z1 just got aosp support from Sony. Remember we need Aosp kernals which are hard to make.

Did you read that thread about the ftf brick?
Its a "club" of people who bricked their phones just by flashing ftf's.
I just don't understand what causes these bricks.
By the way, Im very grateful, that you try to help me although im irritating.

You can brick if you flash wrong ftf. As long you can still get into flashmode voldown and plug usb . that means your soft brick. I have been there.

Okay.
I see, that these bricks are caused by flashing parts of the .290 ftf or failed battery measure.
Sorry if I bothered you.
Just one question....
If I am on .133 can I flash .108 kernel to use that EasyRootTool?

Nope. It checks build.prop you need to downgrade to .108 to root

Thanks for all your responses JPH, I learned more by reading this thread then going through the thousands of messages on the forum.
One more question though if I may, safestrap seems like a pretty good option for locked bootloaders given that you can install XZDualRecovery, yet I cannot find only a single post on this subject referencing a video from a year ago. Was it abandoned for a particular reason ?
Thanks
