Hi guys,
I am using sony xperia tipo ST21i that is rooted. And I am planning to unlock my bootloader to install cm 10 from fxp. I want a piece of clarification. Does unlocking bootloader revoke the root access? In other words, does it unroot my phone? Or the root access stays?
Thanks in advance!

I'm in a very similar situation: I have rooted my mother's ST21i but bootloader is locked (and pressing *#*#SERVICE#*#* it says it's not unlockable).
Was you able to unlock bootloader? How?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hello guys
I have Xperia J witch is SIM locked and network branded.
In my Bootloader unlock allowed says NO, so is it possible at this time to unlock bootloader some way on there is still no solution for this?
I know this phone is new and development is in early stages and there is no much information on the web.
Is it still possible to ROOT and flash custom recovery if bootloader is locked?
Thanks
You can try to root it first. There are no CWM or custom Rom for J at this moment.

Hey,
The only available way is paying for it. You could try to use SEtool yourself, but you need some knowledge of it! It's not simple. Plus £10(€15) isn't that much money, right?
Anyway, have a nice day!

As said above, it costs 15 GBP (I don't have the symbol on my keyboard).
Hi everybody,
15€ is not much, true, but this time I am still only a student and makes me miss.
How do not need it to live, I can take my mobile phone as well .. One day, if it is really necessary, I will pay to have it unlocked.
Thanks for the clarification! :good:

Bump.
I've got an Xperia E that is sim locked and I need to unlock it. Can't unlock the bootloader though.
Not really familiar with Sony phone either as I usually stick with Sammy and HTC and just need a backup phone.
Thanks,
Hi,
My sister-in-law has Sony Xperia L, and she has recently changed carrier. I wanted to flash her phone with a custum rom with unlocked sim status. But I have a problem with unlocking the bootloader. Bootloader status: Unlock not allowed. Is there any way to unlock it, or flash a custum rom without unlocked bootloader?
thanks,

Oh damn thats sad. Anyone Know is there a Method to unlock the bootloader?

Right now your only option is to ask your network carrier to unlock it for you, though that will likely not happen.
