My previous phone E16i/W8 has returned from warranty. They say that they have changed the front panel that controls the touch screen. 11W34 and It was unlockable bootloader. before I returned it for warranty, I restored everything to stock even relocking the bootloader.
The question is, is the phone still unlockable? just afraid to hard brick it(My sister will ill me )

The best way to combat chav speak or slang is to just ignore the poster!
Don't help those that don't have the minimum of respect for other users here.
They'll learn to write english eventually, if they want to be helped.
Sorry for my wrong post in this section. By the way the phone is now unlocked I risked it
Hi do all XDA users. I'm oppening this thread in order to try repair this phone. When trying to make a call the phone disconect the dial.
The phone kernel is 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKL8-CL840182. In order to install another firmware I saw is not easy according this version, it's true?
It's locked to Uk Vod. If possible help me to root this phone. I tought was easy like my htc sensation but looks not.
Regards.
This thread is so wrong it hurts
Sorry.

Sorry about that but I'm portuguese and i'm trying using google translator.
What I meant is if it's possible to change roms.
You missplaced your thread. But it's been fixed by the forum moderators now.
About your problem, I suggest you to backup your important data, delete everything from the phone memory, and flash some stock ROM using Odin.
There are plenty of guides here on XDA to do so.
If you're still confused PM me in about 5 hours and I can help you in (Brazilian) Portuguese. Might be a little better.

I've just picked up the t-mobile version of this phone tonight, and it's on 4.1 right now. Everything I've read said there was an update for 4.2.2 , but the phone system says it's up to date. I'd actually prefer 4.1 for now because of bluetooth issues i think, but I'm just wondering if the t-mobile version will have to wait to be updated, making it much longer than the international versions? I didn't plan on rooting for a few weeks, but if there's already a 4.3 rom out there, i may have to do that a little quicker.
Yeah we don't know how long it will be to get the update it doesn't exist yet,but you can flash any firmware on it using the flashtool, just read up alto,for me it's been so diff than HTC like you don't flash it in recovery and you don't have to be rooted first,couple weird things

Thanks, I just came from a t989 Galaxy SII, and for that it had to be rooted, but only took a few steps. I'll have to read all of the stickies and figure out how to work everything.

wait, so I'm confused, with the t-mobile xperia z, the bootloader can't be unlocked? if that is the case, then how can root even be possible?
Also, do the roms for the international version work on the t-mobile version (Such as parinoid android and cyanogenmod)
If that is the case, then what does the locked bootloader stop?
So I guess my question is, do roms designed for the international xperia z work on the t-mobile version. Like, do we get official cyanogenmod support?
I'm curious, because this might be my next phone (Debating between this and the nexus 4)
I'm currently using the htc vivid
Would any of these update methods erase the stuff that came with the phone? (Not that I want all of the apps, but some of them, I like)...

Rooting, no. Flashing other firmware, yes.

With a locked bootloader you can root,have custom recovery and flash stock firmware and roms based off stock,so when in forums you'll see in the thread titles they will tell u lb or ub or both just only stuff based off stock but there's quit a few

So I'm downloading the flashtool right now, but it's going to take a while longer. By flashing the 4.2.2 stock rom (which one is that btw?), will I get the ability to have a mobile hotspot again? That's the only thing I'm looking to get at the moment. Also, will I have to flash new modems or kernels or anything else? Is there a really easy youtube video that shows how to do everything from start to finish on adding a stock rom?

Thanks, I'm not worried about Wi-Fi calling, I'm on the thirty dollar plan with only a hundred minutes, I rarely talk on the phone. Am I correct in understanding since we have a locked boot loader, we can't install custom rooms like Aokp or CM?

Correct but u still can root and flash ftf and also install a double recovery. U basically can do everything besides costum Roms. But after u flash a international ftf u should also be able to unlock the bootloader. But I don't gonna be 100 % sure.

Since you seem to have the t-mobile version and are in the US, do you know if you flash a 6602 stock rom, does US T-mobile LTE still work? I've read so many different answers and they are ALL over the place on this board, so I'm not sure what way to go. The only US labeled rom I found is for a 6602, but some people have stated you need 6603 for LTE, others say both work.

As said by the previous post, any phone can be unlocked in any country. Go to any local shop and they should be able to help, be sure to use a trusted and well-known shop as some may end up messing up your phone.
