Just a question.
Does the Testpoint method to unlock the bootloader works on a Mini (St15i) when I'm on ICS (stock)?
Or do I need to use official method?
Thanks

Rom is not important... Just try it.l When you get an error saying ": qcReceivePacket: can't get packet start" you can not use testpoint method due to new security by Sony.
So basically I should either use official method or downgrade to GB to be sure that it works?

Yes, it still unlock
If you already unlock it, then your phone will be unlock though you change ROM or upgrade it

ROM has nothing to do with bootloader and unlocking it.

No need to unlock the bootloader for rooting.
Look in the pinned rooting guide by me, there's a link to a tutorial how to root 4.1.B.0.587

I bought an Xperia Sola online recently, since the day i relieved it, i am trying to update it. I tried all methods possible and also the ones suggested by the Xperia care. When I checked online, it says my device should be running software version 6.1.1.B.*, i.e. ICS but by all methods tried, it says my device is up to date. Currently running gingerbread software version 6.0.B.3.814.
Please help. I do not want to root my device or run any custom ROM. I want to update to ICS Xperia.

Did you unlock your bootloader? Can't officially update with an unlocked bootloader.

Warranty maybe void only if you unlock bootloader or root.
So flashing ftf will not,I guess.

I first made a backup of my DRM keys, so i can go back to a locked bootloader if I want. But that's only possible if you're already rooted. You can try Bin4ry's method, but if that doesn't work you should skip this step. Then you can backup your TA partition.
Then you can unlock you're bootloader. Sony's own instructions (search for "Sony unlock bootloader") are very good.
Tnx mate

Nevermind, hadn't seen your link before :silly:
Anyway, bootloader unlock tool won't be device specific I think so if that tool supports unlocking bootloader it'll be for all 2012 Xperia atleast, and anyways, all Xperias supporting unlock have the same bootloader unlock method
