SONY ERICSSON will allow developers to unlock the boot loaders on some of the the latest Xperia handsets in a “secure and legal” way.
Sony Ericsson had a pretty miserable 2010. The high-end Xperia branded Android powered handset from the company – the X10 – received a lot of flak due to the lack of multi-touch support, and running an nearly extinct version of the Android OS.
However, Sony Ericsson is determined to make 2011 better for them and their loyal users. First, the company announced a bunch of tempting XPERIA branded handsets including the PlayStation phone – the Xperia Play. Now, today Sony Ericsson has announced that they will allow developers to unlock the boot loaders on some of the the latest Xperia handsets in a “secure and legal” way.
There is a small catch here though. The handset must meet certain requirements so that its boot loader can be unlocked like an unlocked, un-branded handset. There are many other requirements as well, including your region and original configuration of the phone.
The original Xperia X10 modding capability has been severely limited due to its locked down boot loader. Even after numerous tries, the talented developers over at XDA have been unable to unlock the X10’s locked boot loader.
Sony Ericsson also states that even though they support the unlocking of the boot loader, the warranty of the handset will be deemed void if its boot loader has been unlocked. Also, Sony Ericsson may charge a user a ‘handling fee’ if they flash a Custom ROM on their handset and send it for repairing.
