On Loader Version, written r4A062, it shows us that X-Ray bootloader has already unlocked. Although on the service menu, Unlocked status has not been obtained. This method is called ALTERNATIVE SECURITY BY PASS
Note:
- This is the easiest and the best way for unlocking Xperia Ray Bootloader...
- Password for Download Link if needed: huryiw
- Do not accept the Firmware upgrade OTA or U will brick your phone.
That's all... Happy Unlocking...
Does this method depend on the bootloader being shown as unlockable in the Service Info -> Configuration screen? Mine is a branded Ray with a locked bootloader. (No fastboot support)
ReplyDeleteThanks 4 d'question... Sorry, late to reply..
ReplyDeleteNo. With this method, Service Info -> Configuration -> Rooting Status was not changed...
