If so were can I find it I don't see it anywhere on xda
there is no bootloader unlock for the tmo version.
you can find root tools in the original dev section.
have had this device for 2 days, and i've rooted and upgraded to 4.2.2 in that time,
what enabled me to do this is reading through the threads here, try it, it works wonders.
I use this tool for my other device. work good on Lenove Aseries. Got file from China web.
Tested on Xperia Ion, J , Samsung SII and some Lenovo Aseries. hope can work for u. but only for root

Hey, I unlocked my HTC Dream (Rogers, post 911 patched) bootloader from the HTC Dev site: http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/
The Dream/G1 bootloader unlock code is now provided by HTC themselves. Everything went smoothly but I don't know what to do next. I know I needed to do this to install custom ROMs (I'm on android 1.5 right now, want to go to gingerbread 2.3) but i have no clue how/where to start.
Any help would be seriously appreciated.
The HTC dev bootloader is garbage and will only cause you headaches. Relock the bootloader and root properly, Google search cyanogenmod wiki dream, follow those steps

Hi, thanks for the reply, however I only went down the HTC route cuz this link http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Rogers_Dream:_Rooting_(Post-911_Patch) doesn't work. Many people have the same problem as me that the exploid, doesn't work, but I couldn't find a solution.
Dunno what to do, all I want is gingerbread lol, thanks for replying though, appreciate it

Re: [Q] root unlocked
Without telling which phone and firmware you have, and which steps you took to root your phone no one can give you any advice...
My guess would be that you don't have a SuperUser app or Busybox

Check out the Development forum section for Xperia Z.
Though be careful unlocking or rooting your phone. Make sure you do it correctly, otherwise you can brick it.
Hello fellow XDA members.
I have been reading and searching thoroughly the forums for the past weeks and I haven't been able to find a stock ftf file for Z(C6602).
I am trying to downgrade to 4.2.2(.67) for rooting purposes and to backup the TA, then to unlock the bootloader. I bought the phone during autumn last year, from Sony USA as an unlocked phone. I currently am running kitkat(10.5.A.0.230). Also, I am currently living in Romania and using Vodafone as a carrier.
I'm in need of a stock ftf file running 4.2.2 , right for my region. I couldn't find one that suits my needs. If anyone could find one and point me at it, that would be great.
Thanks in advance
You can use any 67 FTF that's for the C6602. It doesn't have to be one specifically for your region/carrier.
Edit - Here's a US 67 rom.

So first off, I have been able to put different firmware onto this phone. Up until i did the OTA 4.4(?) not sure exactly but the latest. I didnt realize at the time of this and i tried to put an older version back(4.2.2) and now my phone cannot connect to my computer network and also doesnt show that there is any phone networks connection. Did i brick it? Is there a fix? Remember that my s3 mini is NOT a GT-whatever.
Which file you put in youre s3mini, can you boot in the recovery mode? Sure you had the g730w8?

Well i sort have figured it out, but what i mainly wanted was to root, unlock and then update, but instead i rooted, updated(by accident), downgraded, got a new line on the odin mode on the cell. "bootloader rp swrev:1". and then nothing worked. like no cell reception and wifi wouldn't allow me to turn it on. So from there i got the new firmware from a reputable place, and reinstalled it. Now everything works again, but not sure if i can still root and unlock from this point.
Edit: Yes it is the SM-G730w8, also cant really find a direct answer for "bootloader rp swrev:1" any help with that would be great.
Just toot with towelroot check general section or Google worked perfectly on my g730w8

Thank you. I now have a rooted S3 Mini on Kitkat Original rom. Only one question left, how do you get it unlocked from this point, as i want to use it with a different carrier than original. I has been a while since ive done anything on these newer models of Android and there is just way too many models for this cell. Ive done it before were you get the bml5.img but i cant seem to get it on here. I havent tried any other way yet, and everything looks legit up to this point. Thanks again for the help.
I used canadagsm to unlock my s3 mini it's taked 2 hrs to send me the unlock code on my e-mail adress

I just looked at canadagsm and they are just a cell phone sales company. more of looking for a free unlock as well.
Doesnt existe one because the bootloader is locked no custom rom or recovery for our device for now
