Bootloader Questions. - Xperia Play General

Im getting My bootloader Unlocked from that Al dude tonight. Is it safe? Can you tell me the steps? Thanks.

Yes, it is safe, and he will walk you through the steps himself, as they are occurring. Keep calm and unlock your bootloader.

And post questions like this in Q&A next time, you'll probably get an answer faster.

Bootloader Unlock
mine is unlocked with 11W37 xD with no hard brick/soft brick
If i am successfull with my unlock, can it be that it bricks later?
Thanks for ur help, sry im a newbie in x8 xD
but a dev for Galaxy Fit/Mini xD
There only possiblity for hard brick if you back to stock and then relockt-after that unlock again.
Keep it unlocked

Oh well if you manage to boot your phone after the unlocking process well congratulations and you dont have to worry about hard brick in the future unless otherwise you intend to brick you phone.
Always follow instructions to avoid phone bricks.
No. 1 Rule READ and UNDERSTAND
Quick question, I'm planning on selling my phone soon so ill be reverting to 2.1 and Stock Kernel.
BUT!
Once i flash Stock Kernel can I go back to 2.1 then? Or do I have to Lock my bootloader before I go back?

Its up to you Irish it doesn't affect at all IMO. Well if you shared your knowledge to someone who will buy it then better leave is unlock so that person will also learn bout us.
Thanks deedii.
I'm actually trading it in to the O2 or Vodafone shop so I don't think I'll be allowed to tell them its Unlocked
.
They're giving me €34 for the X8 which is good enough for a trade in seeing as the X8 is only €70 here.

oh well if thats the case unlocked it again else if they dont know about lock and unlock bootloader. but as soon as they give you the money then it should be fine.haha bad suggestion I think.haha

I mean I would download all my flashing files from XDA if possible just because you know what you are getting. But if you trust those other sites then yeah...go for it

Nevermind.

I rooted yesterday
Was really easy. Im just a little bit carefull when it comes to rooting a new phone. Soo i always check here before i root stuff.. Mostly phones.
Just dont know how i can install clockwork mod recovery. Its not supported with my phone yet...
And i have bought the app long ago. Ill have to wait. Its very easy and smooth to flash custom room with that app. You dont even need a computer for it.
Anyways. Thanks. I got root now.
..
*bump*
Will the first link in this old thread still work?
http://techglen.com/2013/10/06/root-samsung-galaxy-s4-one-click-versions-guide/
My phone was perfect before. Broke, repaired, and i need CM, and all.
Thinkning about flashing a recovery and go from there. Just reading a bit now.
But, if this still works, then it would be nice.
But now im running.

A very entitled approach. You must suffer from affluenza!
Double-posting doesn't make people help you. If nobody has responded to your first post, it's because A) they haven't been on to read it yet, or B) the people who have read it don't know how to help you.
Just wait, you'll get a response. Otherwise, bump your original post after a day or two.

Well i have a friend that just today he recived hes n900 from repair center, he had the same problem as you, acording to info provided by samsung, it was a software issue and they just reloaded the software, so you could just try flashing a stock rom, or just send the phone to repair.
And it's forbidden to bump up a thread in less than 24 hours.
Do you think people are just sitting here waiting to answer questions ? :sly:

Get a stock ROM from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and flash it using Odin 3.09. There are instructions on the site when you find the right device. Type the exact model number in the Search bar "Search device here.."

You're welcome to try but I'm pretty sure you need to flash the kernel too. Which you can't do.
Indeed. Just wondering if it has been tried yet...that kind of thing.
No you can not flash CM13 on the S7 with a locked bootloader.

As the dev, ask samsung to unlock your bootloader. Than sure you can install it
Lololol ask Samsung to unlock the bootloader
Don't worry... I will try it and let you know.... Like everything else Downloading now...need a break from the Engineer/BL hack I am doing
Actually... This might go hand in hand with what I am alredy working on.. I will hold on the blind flash right now because just thinking of the simple surface mechanisms, it won't work. BUT IF... I can get done what I am doing,then it might just work... And hell if I can get it to where we can flash roms with Flashfire and saying f-it to a custom recovery which would be possible without encryption and verity and all of that crap.. then that is a score in my book.. Just dev off of the CHN stuffs and flash through FF
We look forward to your offerings.
No.

BC I thought it was funny. Does the poll bother you? Lol
BTW I guess this thread can be closed or stay open for reference....
No, I have real things to be bothered by. This is not one of them.
I guess this could serve as a reference to someone. Not everybody takes 2 seconds to read about their phones before jumping on a forum asking silly questions ... Hahah
