Sony just shame on you
WTF Sony! It seems like they don't know the difference between rooting and unlocking bootloader. Shame!

Hello,
I am new to Sony products and before I make steps of unlocking the phone I would like to know what exactly to read. The problem is that I have a brand new Sony Xperia J which is locked to a certain mobile operator. What should I do to unlock it? Should I do anything with the bootloader or anything else? If anyone can provide me a valid link to read about that would be great.
I appologize once again for the newbie question.
Regards to all determined to help.

No worries.
That's because some carriers have made the bootloader unlockable and there is currently no way to get around it.,
However look at this
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
and you can see that Sony is not the OEM of the year (As voted by XDA members) for several years on the trot for no reason.
They actively help xda devs. They give instructions on their own website on how to unlock the bootloader (On sim free devices and devices from carriers such as Vodafone UK who do not lock down the bootloader) and even give devices for free to devs (Adam Outler being one) so that people can work it.
I recently mailed Sony Xperia Care regarding Android Updates and Unlocking Bootloader and their reply was as follows

Unlocking Bootloader and Rooting are two different things but Rules and Regulations consider them in same category. They are same according to Rules but in real they are two totally different things.
Unlock Bootloader of Sony Xperia C
Sony Xperia C is the best smart phone that can compete with all galaxy series very easily.
Unlocking Bootloader on xperia C (MediaTek processor phone) would enable developers like us to CUSTOMIZE the software and hence utilise the hardware of the phone to its maximum capacity and even can modify as per the user needs and change the UI of the phone! Please Support For the noble cause of Developers !
Thanks

according to sony if you root the device ....the low light performance of the device will hurt alot..... the bad news is .... the device isn't very popular so not worthy enough developer's support is available at the moment.....and i doubt it will ever be available .... may be in next four months.... so all n all ..... you n i we are stuck ........ if you still root it you can enjoy cm12 but in alpha right now but then again camera issue..... ... son y will update z3 with lilipop in march or april i think ..... there is not much customization available at the moment ...unfortunately

Only Sony Sat can change the status to yes. In my country spain sony provided a service to pick up your phone and change this status and its free, just ask your sony guarantee service in your country. There is no other way. cheers
