I cant seem to unlock my bootloader as it says on the service menu not allowed, so was wondering if there is antother way without unlocking bootloader?
Not currently, I'm in the same boat.
sent from my xperia s
yep mine too on o2, i found this link on a old XDA thread about paying to unlock the bootloader (can't link as a new member but if you search for phoneunlockserver)
I'll use that as a last option if all else fails
I would be willing to pay for a working root solution on my locked bootloader XpS
My biggest fear is...xda devs have worked with Sony to get certain bootloaders unlocked. So it will be locked down pretty tight i'm guessing.
Hopefully they left open a root option without the need of unlocking the bootloader. If so i'm hoping the solution comes fairly soon.
The bloatware they have stuck on here is ridiculous,

It's possible that you may well be able to root without unlocking the bootloader. There was something called Zerg Rush exploit on other phones, which is what I used on my Xperia Arc.

That exploit was fixed by SE in in .62 firmware for arc. It will not work for XS. (again, prove me if I'm wrong )
I am checking this thread often from now on. I just had an xda break for over a year (iphone) but i am planning to buy this phone next month. Of course the big charm is to root and theme the thing to your own hand.

No, you have the wrong understanding. Phones that are provided by, or customized by, a carrier are usually not "unlockable" due to the warranty claims. Only phones bought directly, or paid for in full (rather than on a "lease" from the carrier) are unlockable.
It's a matter of who carries the warranty and what they decided to do with it.
Ok, i will buy one without contract so i assume its not provider locked...

It all depends where are you taking it from. If you are taking it from retailer, such as T-Mobile, more than likely it will be simlocked, because T-Mobile does not want you i.e. to use that phone with another network SIM card, but if you buy it from shop, like Sony, Phones4U, Carphone Warehouse, etc... they are selling unlocked phones, so they could simply put any mobile carrier SIM card in. There are exceptions though.

Andy O2 models of the phone have a bootloader that's locked and it's not unlockable yet. You testing just using the phone or you considering to hack it?
At the end of it all, I'll be reviewing it. I did want to put ICS on it though. About 15 minutes ago I've seen the bootloader of this can't be unlocked though
Nothing that can be done?

Its locked and AT&T wont let you unlock the bootloader of the HTC One. Similar to last year with the HTC One X. This decision may be over turned again though,
I also purchased the unlocked Dev edition, it's only a matter of time before we can find a workaround for At&t's BS.

Nobody can answer that question yet. A root exploit will need to be found (or some way to unlock the bootloader without root). But nobody is going to put the work in, until the AT&T version is released (since all other versions can be bootloader unlocked).

I fact, the exact opposite of what you said is the case on the AT&T One X. You actually need root (at least temp root) before you can unlock the bootloader. There might be some way (exploit) to unlock the bootloader without root. But no such method had been found yet.

I've been on the One X forums from just about the start, and I'm not sure I would call it a "huge mess". A bootloader unlock method was discovered and posted by an XDA dev a little over 2 weeks after the device was released.
What turned out to be a bit more of a mess, is that root was needed to get the bootloader unlock, and HTC kept patching the existing root exploit with every firmware update.
This is indeed disappointing. But I won't believe it 100% until the phone is actually released, and people try to unlock the bootloader. Even then, the phone will be a popular one, and I have faith that the devs here will crack it.

Really though, the amount of modders who need SOFF to do what they want is like less than 5% of the mod community. Root typically handles most issues. Unlocked bootloader is just that barrier above root.
Though, I'm kind of mad that HTC isn't sticking it to ATT on this and telling them to bugger off. Tmobiles is unlocked...

I don't know much about the typical bootloader unlocking methods, but saw this recent article about unlocking newer Qualcomm-based Motorola phones. Not that this method will work on the AT&T One, but hopefully a similar method can be found if none of the current tricks work.

My comment had to do more with informing the previous poster what actually happened on the One X (that he seemed to mostly only know about 2nd hand), rather than speculating on what HTC has done on this upcoming phone. As we know, HTC is a tricky bugger, and I won't even begin to try to guess what security enhancements they have up their sleeve this time around!

You can root, install custom recovery, and flash custom ROMs with an unlocked bootloader.
S-off allows some other things, such as modding hboot, and flashing radios. But its not needed for flashing custom ROMs.
you can already unlock the bootloader+root etc..

Aha! gotcha, Well. I tried to order the Dev edition but it got out of stock.. so i have no choice but to get one from ATT and hope for the best : D
Yeah you can flash roms etc..
But who wants to manually flash the kernel every time you want to update a rom?
I would like to just put my rom on my phone and flash it. Simple as that
Regardless this is XDA and i trust the devs here will do something to get AT&T users rooted.
mine will be going back so fast if its not unlockable
Sprint and tmobile versions are unlockable
There is no surprise about ATT locking the boot loader. Why do you think HTC is selling a developer edition that is using ATT bands. They solved it because there are a few of us who root our phones etc. Most people who buy phones don't do any of this XDA stuff
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I see it this way, with the $100 rebate and the HDMI device I am getting from HTC and ATT the one will be pretty much free. I am switching from Sprint which I had originally switched to with hopes of buying the Nexus 4. Since they stopped doing Nexus on CDMA this is my move back. The One will turn into a backup phone and the next Nexus will become my main. If a Nexus doesn't come out in the next 4 months I'll just buy a Nexus 4 for now. I'll just never do OTAs on the One until a root is found or just sell the thing when I get a Nexus.
Btw, who is this Steven Bell guy? Does he have an HTC One from ATT that he tried to unlock?
Im glad i got the dev edition. I canceled ATT pre order day after i ordered. My Dev edition says backorder now but says shipment scheduled Tomorrow the 10th.
Either some lazy people here.. Or trolls.. It only takes an additional few seconds to flash a kernel if you need it. Those few seconds certainly wouldn't keep me from owning this device. This phone looks like it'll have a lot of Dev presence. S-off might not be far off. :victory:
I dont know who Steve bell is (guy paul obrien quoted) And how he would know The ATT is locked since its not out yet. I guess he's credible somewhat if Paul is repeating it.
Hmmm....im really starting to second guess this phone....im confused why att locks down HTC phones but not other android phones like Samsung? Sorry really new to HTC phones....

Generally all Xperia devices bought unlocked (not from any carrier) are able to be bootloader unlocked. Some carriers block that, but not all of them.

A non unlockable bootloader is not easily unlocked, it will take upto 2 years to unlock a single device so its pointless, and even then this unlock will only work on that device so no, no unlock

Did i miss something in the android world - i have never had a sony device before (always used htc even before htcdev) but what changed once upon a time usually exploits came around in a matter of months not years. So did sony invent the ultimate protection system or something like that ?

Don't understand you?
"We have" found exploits for all fw for now...
All latest firmwares for all Xperia devices (Z,Z1(s and c) Z2 and all older devices could be rooted..
Z2 is 2-3 month old device and we have root method for all firmwares...
That doesn't have anything with custom ROMs or AOSP ROMs.
Locked bootloader is something totally diferent.
Locked bootloader is something Sony won't do , that's something requested by operators (mostly t-mobile) - Google it and you'll get it..

Yes i meant unlocking the bootloader (i know what locked bootloader is dont worry). As i said I used to have HTC`s for the past like 10 years and initially (true during the windows era that was not a problem) then alparev did the job etc anyway was more of me just thinking about it no worries

you just reminded me
there is a dev who is working on aosp for locked bootloader, it should be up and working in the next 3 months unless something stops him
also have you tried looking into selling your Z2 and buying a generic unlockable Z2, Z2s arent as expencive now

if ur device Bootloader unlock allowed = NO
so u can change ur xz2 with mine xz2
Just wondering if that AOSP for locked bootloaders got anywhere, I just updated to 23.0.1.A.0.167 and lost root
Aosp requires a custom kernel which requires an unlocked bootloader so no :-/
