Hi all,

Great news on Cyanogen 7.1 making it's way to the Arc, the process doesn't seem quite as simple as it did back when I put Cyanogen on my HTC Hero.

Is it even possible on an Xperia Arc locked to Orange UK, has anyone had any luck?

I think I have issues around the locked bootloader. Clockword Recovery MOD doesn't list the phone, no matter what the official Cyanogen Installation instructions say and when I try to unlock the bootloader using the Sony Ericsson instructions I'm unable to progress beyond Step 10.

http://unlockbootloa...om/instructions - Push and hold the unlock button* on your phone at the same time as you connect the phone to the computer with a USB-cable. See the note in the bottom of the page for information on what button to hold while connecting your phone to a computer.

I believe I'm supposed to be seeing a blue LED at this point and that no blue LED means no joy for ever?

Thanks for any pointers!

"You're not able to unlock Operator locked handsets so you'll need to use one of the paid methods unless you have access to SETool." - Any chance of adding this to the official Cyanogen installation instructions in order to save others some time?

Although.... if I'm using the X10 Flash Tool to flash the generic UK ROMS from the XDA site, does this mean that my bootloader is unlocked and I can put Cyanogen 7.1 on my Xperia Arc?

Thanks in advance, I'm so excited I might wee.
