Can someone explain to me how one would even go about cracking the bootloader? I've heard it would require a leak of the keys from Verizon, but what would someone even do with those keys?

Well ya, but how would they unlock it? I'm assuming it's different from my front door.
I'm not exactly sure how it works but I know most phones the command fastboot oem unlock would unlock the bootloader where as on our phones it will not.

oh srry i thought u answered your own question.. if they had the keys theyd be able to sign a custom built kernel/bootloader to make the phone accept it as official then wed be able to have custom recovery.. other than that you would need to ask someone more talented than i.. if youre not sure then most likely you wouldnt understand if someone told you details of how it could be done anyways

Can anyone please help us on messing up the xperia arc badly with the software so that we can get a new replacement with an unlocked boot loader ???
Thanks
Don't think that will work. If you are talking about claiming on insurance. They will just flash old phone with new software. I recently posted on the hope I would get a new. Phone. But mine is a genuine claim.... if. Its repairable they will simply repair it as the may or may not do with my phone

Also this should not be in development section. It should be moved....or deleated

Ok it is possible for USA people cause the unlocked bl version of the arc released a month back and at this point if we are able to mess the software that won't be repairable, we may actually get the newer one !!! Pretty sure about that

No. You only have to be able to enter flash mode (green light).

great plan, ask how to commit fraud on a forum dedicated to development of the device you intend to willfully destroy......
Go rub your two braincells together and try to set it on fire....

This isn't a serious question, is it?
Maybe you're using the term "unlock" in an unconventional way?

well generally i think he means by placing the phone on another carrier or he may mean by changing the msl code which is different for each sprint phone unlike verizion which uses 000000 for all phones. I do not think he means about rooting.

To answer the OPs question,yes it can be unlocked. I had to unlock it when I flashed one to boost.
You guys have been doing really good with developing ROMs and all but, how come you guys haven't considered working on Kexec? Considering that is our only current idea for a bootloader bypass.
If any of you guys agree, then post here and share some ideas.
Might be because there is a way to unlock your phones bootloader. Either via Sony's unlock website or through alejandrossimo for $24. But yeah. I think I saw a thread as a wip for kexec.

That dude gave up. Everyone knows it. The devs could get that complete in days, or a week or two. With how talented most of them are, it can be done. The opportunity of Kexec has been there. Why haven't they been working on it?
I think it won't, why?
We can't read/write to the boot partition when booting. And most devs have a unlocked r800i

That's easy to say. I haven't been working on it Cuz i don't care. You seem to care quite a bit. Apparently more so than any of the developers here. So I would suggest learning and doing it yourself.

It doesn't interest me.
No developer could code before they learned how to. And chances are they learned because they wanted to help themselves instead of relying on others.
This needs popcorn.
Just learn it.

Let's not start a flame war, guys. Kexec isn't as necessary for us as it is for Motorola devices because we actually do have a method for unlocking. Sure, for quite a few of us it actually costs money, but we still have a method. If we didn't, someone would have figured out a way around, but since they didn't need to...

Does anyone know if this phone will have an open bootloader? cant live without cm and aokp!
It would be a massive diversion from the Nexus name if it didn't. 99.9% sure it will
I'm going 99.999999999% that it's unlocked.

This. Easily unlockable bootloader is one of the things Nexus device must have, otherwise Google would not allow it to carry Nexus brand.
Yep, I'm sure it will be.
It better be.
Hit me up on Gtalk if u need help @musclehead84

by this command
fastboot oem unlock

fastboot oem lock
I am thinking about getting one of these phones for myself, are they easy to get root, I had a DINK2, now I'm using a Sprint phone flashed to verizon, but I think this might be why some of the features don't work.
I want this phone because of its size, unless someone recommends a better phone.
Yes.

they are easy to root - but your issue could be with flashing ROMs. if you want to flash a custom ROM (4.1.2 or later) you will need to unlock the bootloader - and Motorola has prevented the unlocking on builds after Apr 2013. so check the build date for your device. if it reads May 2013, then you cannot unlock the bootloader (currently). if prior, then unlock it!

I cannot stand a phone that looks so nice and they take away part of the display by adding a toolbar, taking away over 1/2 in of usable area, for this reason, this phone is not for me, I instead want the HTC DNA.
I was looking at the HTC ONE, but even on that phone, they have the lame toolbar.
Thank you everyone.

Well you can always use a custom ROM with PIE controls and expanded desktop. I opposed the navbar at first, but quickly came to prefer it over hardware and capacitive navigation buttons.
