Sony Ericsson Android Sony Ericsson has kept to their promise of providing an easy way to unlock their Android phones, and today marks the launch of the official bootloader unlocker website. The website that provides official instructions on how SE Android phone users can unlock their bootloader is now live. Modders, developers and users will be pleased to know that they won’t have to go through complicated rooting processes anymore just to gain full control of their phones. Unfortunately not all SE Android phones can be unlocked this way though. Only Sony Ericsson phones that have been released this year and aren’t SIM-locked or customized by their carriers can use this method. Take note that it might also void your warranty, so make sure you know what you’re getting yourself into before attempting anything. Head over to the bootloader unlocking site for the full instructions.

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.

Bootloader A bootloader is a simple program that works by calling up or launching more complex programs than itself (i.e. the BIOS system that starts up your computer and runs your operating system). Using alternative bootloaders to the one that comes with a device allows users to run unauthorized code such as other operating systems (Android on an iPad etc) and custom ROMs.
