Because I want to unlock the bootloader in my xperia p,

so I got into the sony website and get the code for unlock.

But I have had serveral problem,

1.Where can I download the bootloaders for unlock?

2.I press the 0volume +)button when I plug it into my compuer,

you probably are missing the drivers, run SUS and repair your phone, btw do you know that you won't be able to use SUS or PCc after you unlock your phone, and that your DRM files will be gone forever?

just wondering, why do you want to unlock your bootloader

I want to root so I want to unlock it

Is there anyway that I need not to unlock before I root it??

I want to use some specialized apps such as titanium backup.It requires rooted phone.

Re: Unlock bootloader

Uliwooly — Sat, 23 Jun 2012 03:36:55 GMT

you want to use titanium backup to delete pre-loaded apps? or just to backup

once ICS it's out you can disable them.

Unlocking bootloader at this stage won't be a wise option

See if this helps

As uliwooly said you can disable apps on ICS

Why to loose warranty , you never know if your device is completely perfect ( free of defects )

So atleast use for 2-3 months

You will be getting ICS within 2 months from now, you should think of rooting ICS

This is what i personally feel. The decision is yours though

Hey guys,

In the case of unlocking boot loader SONY says

"Open a command window and go to the tools folder within the Android SDK folder.":smileyconfused:

but it doesn't work...

Because we have to go to the platform-tools folder....!!!!:smileyhappy:

After that it'll work fine and you can unlock boot loader.. I tried it for weeks... How sad it is..:smileysad:
