Hi
All
I have got a very quick question to ask and hope somebody can help me. I have got an Xperia play R800i. I used a program called SuperOneClick to root my phone. After using this program I got superuser access so that means my phone is rooted. But how do i unlock the bootloader.
Because according to the sony erricsson website when i type in that code *#*#7378423#*#* into my phone it says that i can not unlock my bootloader. I dont understand if i have rooted my phone my bootloader should be unlock write. Please correct me if i am wrong.
Also do i need an unlocked bootloader to install CyanogenMod 7 on my phone even if i have rooted it.
Many
Thanks
Mohammed
Anybody Please ?

Hi all, I've just bought my first android phone, Xperia Neo V. Surfing I found what a root is, a ROM, etc. I just rooted my phone by using SuperOneClick, and it worked perfectly. But i wanted more. I wanted to install Cyanogen Mod, but I read I needed to unlock the bootloader. I looked at my phone's service info (by dialing *#*#7378423#*#*) and it says Bootloader unlock isn't allowed... I've searched in the forum about bootloader unlocking, testpoint, and stuff but I'm a bit lost... Can't I do anything to install a ROM?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for my bad english, corrections are welcome
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuump.

It's nothing hard in testpoint method,just be careful and all will be ok.
So even it says boot loader unlock is not allowed, i can unlock it with test point?
no way
if it says not possible in service menu then not possible
used the roms which donot requires custom kernels!!!!
Hi I have a Sony xperia s with the build number 6.0.A.3.62 but my bootloader is locked is there anyway that I can root my device on this build without unlocking my bootloader ? I'm new at this so any help is appreciated. Thank you
You could try SuperOneClick or UnlockRoot. Those are two PC based programs. You run them, plug in your phone and click the Root button, and then if it is possible to root your phone without unlocking the bootloader, one of those tools will most likely be able to do it.
If neither work, it probably isn't possible without unlocking the bootloader. But look in the device specific forum for your device for more guidance before unlocking the bootloader.
EDIT: It looks like currently you must unlock the bootloader for the Xperia S. There is no working exploit for rooting. The tools I advised above won't work. If you're not willing to unlock your bootloader, you can't root at this time.
Hello recently decided to unlock the bootloader on your Xperia L by Application EZ-Unlock, but ok I see similar output unlock the bootloader yes but I did reboot and since then . not want to come in flashmod or fastboot.HELP FRIENDS!
Why u tried unlock bootloader using this untested method? You have at least two method on forum How-To unlock bootloader:silly:. If really your phone has been bricked, u can only send to service(and pay - Unlock bootloader=lost warranty)
The phone does not lose the warranty and they said on the site that I am entitled to a new

Hi everyone!
I want to instal custom ROM on my smartphone, but i have one problem with that. In service menu i can see something like that "bootloader unlock allowed no". Can i solve my problem alone in home?
I will be grateful for any help.
If you have "bootloader unlock allowed no", then you can install only stock based ROMs. Unfortunatelly, you won't be able to install CyanogenMod. I have the same problem and i understand that pain :/. You can only root but can't unlock BL, unless you will pay for this (not me, i have no idea how to do that)
Sock ROM
Hi guys,i have this problem too...my xperia E is bootloader status unlock : NO... Please can you give me link to Stock roms? My phone is rooted....Thanks.
There is way to unlock it even if flag is no, but its paid method i did it with my xperia e you will need to find someone with setool2 to do it for you but like i said its not free.
hey guys, I've noticed that almost all of you have the bootloader of your Sony Xperia E JB (C1505) unlocked.
Mine says not allowed, I just wanted to ask if you guys that have it unlocked, had the same ''status'' as mine, or if there is any way that I can unlock my bootloader...
I have my phone rooted but with the bootloader unlocked the possibilities are not comparable
I really wanted to change the rom, my kernel (to be able to overclok etc), but im afraid I can't to that
Please give me an answer

To unlock bootloader follow the instructions from Sony Mobile: developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader
I had to send my mobile to Sony service center to change the Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No to Yes.
Good luck.
