Bootloader unlock page under maintenance

I was planning to unlock my bootloader today. When I tried to open the Sony ericsson page, its showing the page is under maintenance. Are you guys getting the same response from the sever? Or did Sony completely stop the bootloader unlocking?

Same question here. I tried it since yesterday and that feature is under maintenance till now. I am planning to unlock R800i. Did Sony Ericsson stop the bootloader unlocking and if so, any alternative to unlock bootloader may I know? Thanks in advance.

Well, we will see. Hopefully its just a real maintenance, but maybe they are fixing the hole which the guys used to unlock cdma phones.
Let's hope it comes back to life soon!
Regards

I guess they're fixing CDMA keys hole. Looks like Verizon isn't happy about it.
But I don't understand why it takes so long to modify some small piece of code to disable MEID calculator.

Maybe you DDOSed them too much ?
Regards

Thanks guys.

Heh, technically, I wasn't there when it crash happened, so I gave server the opportunity to recovery from requests and free up resources

3G & WiFi missing

succeeded, but with a little problem. Could any1 pls help me?
i followed Bin4ry's guide [How-to] Root your Play.
On the first try of flashing system with play_modded, i got some error message like android.process.acore & android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly, so I soft reset it to factory setting and flash system again and succeeded, with no error message.
But the problem is after the root process, my phone can't detect 3G network. The service provider I am using has two options, 2G and 3G, and phone can only detect 2G network.
Another problem is that although I can find WiFi networks and connect, WiFi connection is not working anymore (no data send/receive through WiFi).
If any of you know how to fix that 3G network & WiFi missing issues, kindly let me know. Thanks in advance.
One more, my rooted play is now on 3.0.A.2.184 build and when I connect it to computer, PC Companion said found new software update and ask me whether want to update or not. Rooting process will be overwritten and I will need to root it again if I update software (base 3.1.A....something I think) I would like to know.
Thank you again.
Regards,
edit : sorry if this post should be under Q & A section, please let me know and I'll open a new thread

Im assuming you have a r800i? If so, my simple recommendation would be to flash 4. Firmware. Then enter fastboot and flash dooms kernel which will automatically root it for you. Hope this helps.

ႊThank you. Could you please elaborate more as I am new to android, or please let me know the location (in this forum?) where I could get detail instructions, like, where to/how to get flash4.firmware, flash dooms kernel?
Thank you again.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I've updated to 4.0.A...(i followed the instructions found here, used X10Flash Tool and Xperia_Relock_bootloader.ftf to get bootloader locked, and use PC Companion to update s/w.

For starters unlock ur bootloader again, as you need it to flash the kernel (which in my opinion is worth keeping), then go over to the developers sub forum, download the UK generic 4.0.whatever the rest of the code is firmware, flash it with flashtool, the go to doomlords thread and download his kernel. All instructions you need are in the relevant threads, easy to follow. I would link them, but I'm away from my computer at the moment. And I cant link from my phone. Sorry. Hope all goes well!

Why not remove root from the app and then re-root the phone??
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

as someone said in another thread version 1.90 of gamekiller is working correctly.
link (not provided by me but working): http://www.mediafire.com/?eglxmfbi59gew07
[I'm not sure if it is a paid app (I don't think so though) if it is mods please delete]
pdjust in case) you should be rooted in order to use this or other gamekillers

I want only a *professional in rooting* guide me step by step through my email and i'll add him to Google Chat and be so i can follow him how to unroot and then Re-Root again and then installing the two apps.

if any professional interested just send me an email directly no need to answer here because i tried many many things but i still don't know if the problem with the two apps and they are not compatible with my phone or my phone

[Q] Can't Unlock AT&T SGH-I337 PLZ Help. Kind of Emergency

Hello everyone. First of all I want to say that this is a great forum with tons of valuable information. You guys do excellent jobs here. Now. I have a recently purchased S4 with AT&T. It is imperative that I get this phone unlocked TODAY. I am going in for surgery and my daughter is going to be left alone at home and I need her to have a phone to be able to contact me at the hospital if need be or in case of an emergency. I have tried all of the way that I have found on here to unlock this device and have not been successful. I cannot even get it Rooted. I tried with MotoChopper. I tried ODIN, King, and whatever the last one is. I have tried the *#0011# and it goes to the service menu but when I key in the number one, a screen flashes real quickly that says menu not exist. then back to the service screen. I do not know where to go from here. Can someone please assist me with a step by step tutorial on what needs to be done? I would be extremely grateful. I am standing by refreshing the page hoping for responses. Thanks!

I assume you want to sim unlock it? Do you know what firmware version you're on?

You're on nc1 firmware, look at your build number, it's the last three characters. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54932702
You might have to down grade to nb1, idk for sure. If you have to there is an Odin flashable tar file in the general forum.

I tried everything in that thread also. I do not know how to downgrade. I also run a linux machine. i do not think that ODIN runs on Linux. Does it? Thank you for the rapid responses.

Odin won't run in Linux. You might be able to run it in a Windows vm. I'm not that familiar with Linux. Heimdall will run but I'm not familiar with that either. Sorry man. You could try Google and heimdall

Seems I am kind of screwed. Haimdall does run on Linux but it wont root my phone. it says that it did after I run it but then it's not. So weird.

Have you tried to root with towelroot?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

Help me out guys,
Why do you need to root to be able to have daughter get ahold of you?
Why do you need to sim unlock? Are you on different carriers? Texting? etc
Can you get two prepaid phones that would work while in hospital?
Below links:
1. I used this to set up adb/fastboot on my iMac--need it to use Heimdall. I had some links to Heimdall, but must have deleted them. I can always use my son's Windows machine if needed--
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237
2. Rooting with SafeStrap--

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448925
Those are complicated procedures and take time to learn w/o breaking your phone which you don't want to do atm.
With sim unlocking which is for using phone on another carrier I have no exp with. But, thought Obama passed law requiring carriers to give you that info. Otherwise, maybe someone else has done it on your model or Google alot.
Again, I am confused on why you need to sim unlock or root--sorry--
Hope you get it sorted in time--:good:

nope, come back in a little time though if you're feeling lucky

Has anybody tried method described in:http://www.androidinfotech.com/2016/12/root-lg-v20-h990ds-nougat-twrp.html

That won't because one of the initial steps suggests that you follow the official bootloader unlocking procedure by submitting your device ID on the LG website to receiver a bin file which you would use to unlock your bootloer. The problem is, LG does not offer bootloader unlocking for the 990DS at this time and likely never will, so the procedure would fail right there and you wouldn't be able to move on to the steps that follow..

FRP Lock help?!

Bought another s7 edge off Craigslist. Everything was fine and legit and phone was reset but guy left the secure boot lock on so (dumbly) I factory reset it from the recovery menu and upon boot got hit with the FRP. Texted the guy and said he would help me out when he got to his house (~hour away) but now no response(have screenshots to prove it). Not trying to be fraudulent in anyway I just want to be able to use the phone I paid for. Phone wasn't stolen as I require sellers show me proof of purchase or actual use of the phone

Well your only choice at this point is to contact the guy

Already tried, numerous times. Now he's just ignoring me. I've seen that maybe ODIN would work?

just search it via youtube.. you will find the solution.

Tried ODIN the stock firmware using AP and BL but still asked for account upon booting up. Should I try with diff firmware?

There's a twrp file you can delete manually. I don't remember what it is, but I found it on xda for note 4 or note 5 a year or so ago.

Tried the method using the Real 2.0 app that made a fake call and went to the browser and such. Got up until it I had to find the google account manager in the shortcut maker app and found the account manager apps but not the one that actually asked me to log in. Think of another one?

I remember that too but that was for screen locks if I'm not mistaking. I have FRP blocking me

Not sure then. I did find a link for the exact issue just now by Google search of xda. Good luck.

kind of hesitate to post it here so i pm you out the link... i have test it once successfully...

I am interested in how this can be done with the latest firmware updates. Kind of hate to have an S7 brick.
