Hey guys!
I own a rooted Sony Xperia V with a provider locked Bootloader.
Its so annoying that i cant access my recovery!
I tried some "tools" for other Xperia phones but they didnt work.
So im asking if there is anything i could do to get the recovery?
My provider (Austrian) called "Drei" locked the Bootloader (Bootloader Unlock: Not Allowed).
Do me a pleasure and help me

Hi guys...
Does someone have a s3 mini GT-18190N, and it success to root or unlock?
Better to say, i need to unlock my phone, how to do it?
On the other way, If there is not a free way to unlock phone, IF then I root and put some custom rom on my phone will it be unlocked by default?
And the final question, does custom roms (on this site) also working for my gt-18190N version or just for GT-18190 ???
Thanks,
nice regards

hi
i suppose u are talking about Sim Unlock? right?
and not bootloader unlock,
normally just unlock means to unloack bootloader to be able to flash custom recowery, thatway you can also root and install custom roms....
sim unlock on the other hands, you can do it also without root etc... but you need code from your operator, or u have to purchase one online cca 20$
and i have no idea if there is other way, or if anybodes did it...

The easier way would be manually downloading 4.4.2 ftf and flash it using flashtool
download ftf from here
download flashtool from here
Make a backup before flashing ftf though as it will wipe the internal memory

NO. You can't unlock your bootloader if 'unlock bootloader allowed = no'
Since you cannot unlock bootloader, therefore you cannot flash custom ROM on your phone.
Rooting phone do not always need bootloader to be unlocked. There will be some ways available to root your phone with LB.
Also there will be some ROMs available that can be flashed over LB. But they'll be based on stock and will not have more features rather than stock features.
You just need to search here on XDA
I suggest you not to flash any ROM on LB. You'll eventually get bootloops and maybe hard brick.

Nope! As much as I know, you cannot change status from 'no to yes' rather than changing your motherboard to do so. It'll cost you more than you buyed it.
It is related to TA Partition. And EVERY phone has its unique TA. So no one can change its status. Flashing other phones TA to your phone will brick your device.

Have a look;

UB = Unlocked Bootloader
LB = Locked Bootloader
You can only flash ROMs with LB label.
Choose wisely Flash correctly.

In such case you need to roll back to your previous android version. I don't think you could unlock your bootloader. But if you are telling it was 'yes' before, then you should try.
No matter your phone works with every sim or not. TA Partition contains DRM keys as well as many other things related to network, warranty, services which get erased after unlocking bootloader.

Yes you can flash any stock ROM through flashtool. You just need to download appropriate firmware (.ftf)
Even you could update your phone through PC Companion. The latest version is 5.1.1 Available.
BTW why are you trying to flash stock ROM? Are you using any custom ROM already?

You mean bootscreen, right?
Just because of bootscreen are you going to change the entire ROM?
You could change bootscreen manually. Your phone just need to be rooted to do so. To root your phone use kingroot app. If your lucky enough, your phone will be rooted.
There are tons of bootscreens available. Just pick one and place it in /system/media (don't forget to backup old one) with -rw--r--r permissions and Bingo! You have changed your bootscreen.

Try the same app several times. It usually does not succeed in first attempt. It you fail each time, try kingo root with windows software.

Dude, your on latest android version. There isn't any exploit available to root ver 5.1.1
You either need to wait until anyone makes an exploit for your phone or you need downgrade your phone and root it.
There is a pre-rooted firmware available for lollipop But it works only if phone has 5.0.2 .
Unfortunately your phone has 5.1.1 that means you still need to downgrade your phone and flash pre-rooted 5.1.1
Also, your bootloader can't be unlocked. So you need to flash ROM accordingly. Don't ever flash ROM that are meant for unlocked bootloader.

when someone makes an exploit for my phone and root 5.1.1 . i steel need to unlock the boot loader ?
Soo, i want to flash my docomo with japan rom on this version 39.2.B.0.336 and want to flash twrp with kernel from androplus, wich version i have to use for my rom ?

i got docomo with ubl yes, so i unlok easly. the problem is, my docomo cant instal global room. idk why
Umm..if i'm not wrong...Docomo devices cant be flashed with global rom..
But I think you can flash twrp...From there,just install any f8131 stock rom/custom rom
EDITne more thing ! Count yourself as a lucky person...It's rare to see docomo device's bootloader unlocked
Btw, i found a solution.
So if you device same like me, docomo with unlock bootloader you can use my boot.img in link here
