So mods I know that there is a marketplace but I thought it be appropriate for this one phone...
Go ahead and close this if im wrong. Thanks!
So I have a developer atrix that is factory unlocked, uncapped data speeds, and most importantly an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER.
I was thinking maybe someone here could really use it and would like to buy it to develop as I don't really know what I can do with it.
So ya im willing to sell to help out the xda community...
I am an experienced member here.
Thanks,

Hey I have a developer or tester model that is factory unlocked aswell. How do I check if the bootloader is unlocked?

What happens when you boot with Vol + Down?
If i press volume up when booting it starts rsd protocol and volume down when booting it gives fast boot and other options.
Stupid question. If this gets in the hands of a developer who knows what to do can this provide a way to unlock the bootloader on regular phones? I assume not unless someone is able to crack the encryption?

Dont think so, someone else had one a couple of weeks ago. Todblt said it was just unlocked but made no difference as to how to unlock it.
Unsecured engineering devices do not give you any special advantage towards unlocking the bootloader. They do however, give developers a great deal of freedom to safely explore the possibilities of what can be done and are a very rare and valuable asset to any serious hacking endevours.
They often have earlier hardware though and sometimes don't perform up to spec with release consumer devices.
They should be handled very responsibly and access to the engineering builds that they run can be a vital asset too.
so is my bootloader unlocked?
coool!!!!!!!really cool!
It is a big news for today!
u need a locked device for compare the files...and trying rewrite the rights on lock device....soo....
I don't know anything about developing but this seems cool if it gets into the right hands. Can some developer please get his hands on this and start cracking.
Remember if you do get the bootloader unlocked this is waiting for you...

Wasn't the bootloader on the Thunderbolt unlocked by looking at an engineering device with an unlocked one?

I heard they unlocked it by luck, Apparently it was encrypted as much as the Atrix was.
I emailed geohot about the bounty for the bootloader. I know he could use the money for his legal services against sony. Maybe if more people emailed him, it would get his attention more. I'm hoping for some kind of response from him. His email is [email protected] for other people who would like to try to get his attention.

No. Just no. This should definitely get into the hands of a Dev.

it was locked, but it wasn't signed. so all they had to do was to flash the phone with an unlocked bootloader just like the one we have for the atrix. but since we can't sign it, it wouldn't work.
Hi sorry if this is the wrong section.
I like many other people have an Xperia z with bootloader unlock status = no.
I thought this could be a place to discus possible solutions and I will keep the opening post up to date with the latest development if any.
I do not claim to have extensive knowledge on such matters and therefore I am opening my phone up for testing any ideas devs may have to help out with development.
I am more than willing to read up and learn as much as I can to help out with this and I have one idea to propose that I'm sure will be up for critique.
My proposed idea is to place a kernel with the correct signature in an ftf that when flashed opens up all partitions to read/write then from there we in theory could change the fastboot permissions to yes or flash an unlockable bootloader image (do we have a system dump containing this?)
As I say thus is only an idea and I am willing to help out any dev that can help with this. I would also be willing to make a donation towards the dev(s) that help achieve this, and I am sure many others will too.

Getting it signed is mostly the issue.
If we could do that we wouldn't need to unlock the boatloader, as the system would accept what we flashed.
It would be nice if the method Sony use to sign was leaked, that would make things a bit easier..
I've spent a few weeks trying to find exploits, the way the moto devices were unlocked, by breaking the trust kernel, but I Can't see anything, and haven't got anywhere with it yet.

Cool so is there a method for duplicating the signature? What do we know about the signature? Is it a constant or dose it differ between devices?

Nothing. That's why there's not much to do about the bootloaders.

Is there nothing generic for gaining access to the Qualcomm processor and rewriting the bootloader
Sent from mars
I had a thought the other day about the kernel that comes with Sony's AOSP, if it's signed by Sony I wondered if that or the full ROM could be put in an ftf and flashed, which I assume would/could give us the possibility to then be able to unlock.

The certs are tied to each phone uniquely like IMEI and in fact are tied to this as well as some other unique identifiers of the individual phone, someone will have to try to hack or steal Sony's trusting authority for the locally installed certificates

Does that explain why flashing someone else's TA hardbricks the device? Or is that only part of the picture e.g. TA also tied to unique hardware ID's.?

I think it's all tied together because ta has something to do with bootloader lock and SIM lock

What if we change IMEI in the TA i hexedited my and clearly seen my IMEI number... Is that way possible? unless the ta file is checked against its own hash... But devs did that with nvidia's GPU firmware. However im not a dev just generating ideas...

Any idea is better than no idea mate.
Changing imei is risk I think our best bet is to look into working out the Sony signing method then creating a kernel signed in this way to rewrite all partitions to that of an unlocked device (unless devs then adopt signing all kernels in this fashion) or if we use an exploit as seen by Dan Rosenberg on the s4.

Try to see something in work ... My company repairing the Xperia Z also next to other phones like htc samsung etc etc... if i can sneak the dev program in, could try find a weak point unfortunately i am at htc line @level 3 and myself only touching circuit boards. My friend on sony, and he has access to mainboards and we can return a faulty board within the company as "New Faulty" Not once, we seen CM mod on boards that not even supposed to came in. because the so called "Illegal software modification" I can sneak sd cards in but not out... "freak metal detectors on the gates"... if a dev working on something may able to help cut corners.

Anything you could do would be great mate. The most amazing thing you could do would be to obtain the signing software or a ftf of a early dev Rom of some sorts.

Forgive my ignorance on the subject, but if we could open op the back of the device, couldn't we duplicate the testpoint method used on other Sony/Xperia devices?

Hi,
My Xperia Z got stolen nearly a month ago!! Unfortunately, I didn't had anything installed on it that could help me track it down.. But it came with McAfee security installed as standard!! I had it registered but was not using it. On the McAfee website it shows my IMEI number.. but since my subscription has expired I cannot track it from there.. My question is, whoever stole my device obviously did a factory reset! As standard Mcafee should be up and running(atleast I hope so) do you think I should buy mcafee subscription,?? Is there a chance that I would be able to track my device back?? if anyone here know, weather the McAfee registration gets reseted if you do a factory reset?? Cause I did a few data wipe, for the brief time I had my phone.. It was always there.. and it didn't allow me to uninstall it..
Any inputs on weather buying th McAfee subscription will help me or not.. will be very usefull!! Thanks
Honestly not sure if it will help, but try it anyway.
You should've had an antitheft app installed for this very reason....

Truth be told, Sony just launched the MyXperia stuff that helps you track and trace your phone with this link https://myxperia.sonymobile.com/ unfortunately it has to be activated on the phone. McAfee might be able to help you but I wouldn't hold my breath on that matter, good luck hunting down your phone!
Well, I know that there is very little if any chance of me finding my phone back.. But thank you for the input.. I'll try buying the Mcafee subscription, and see if it can locate my phone (fingers crossed).. The my xperia was not available to everyone when my phone got lost.. so no luck with that. till sony does not introduce something to keep track of their devices with IMEI, it thinks it pretty impossible!!
If you are in india. Report to police with u imei and police can track it and find it many of my friends who lost got back this way

It´s bad luck.
I don't know how your local police work if I am totally honest but over here in the UK the police can track phones that are stolen, if there is enough evidence it was stolen and such. Speak to the fuzz, see what they say, the worst they can do is nothing, but nothing for free is better than paying for it.

I suggest that if they gave you the wrong code and then they continued to tell you to use it when you said it was the wrong code you are well within your rights to ask them to fix the problem.

I am not sure there is anything you can do from this end. Personally I would take it further with them and put in an official complaint. Keep pushing them about it and take it to their complaint department etc....don't take no for an answer. Explain you had witnesses and they are willing to give statements etc.
Unfortunately there is very little work on network unlocking on xda as in various countries it is illegal (AFAIK) to do it without your carriers permission.
I wish you luck and hope you can push Rogers into a corner and convince them they gave you the wrong code.
Hi all,
I have a HTC One which is branded with vodafone, am I able to get rid of this so it is totally unbranded? I don't want to root, just get rid of the vodafone software, still be able to update and also put any sim-card in too. Cheers, Martin.

How do I go about this then?
I know you want to unbrand your device, but if you're happy to make it simfree without rooting or touching the phone at all, I assume you can request an unlock code from Vodafone. Here in the UK if you are in contract it is free of charge. On "pay as you go" plans there is a charge however you can still make up stories and might get away with that...
