Hello everyone. I have a question about unlocking Xperia Neo V bootloader through Flashtool. I know there are other ways to do that but I just want to try by this method. Can it actually be unlocked??? It a 11w52 device and as I know you can unlock the bootloader with unofficial ways till 12w14. Thanks in advance.
Yes, Flashtool can do it easily.

XDA forums then U will succeed.
Hi there,
I'm not sure of unlocking the bootloader of my Tipo, cos the last time I installed a custom ROM (Paranoid), my mobile died and fortunately I've recoved it using Update Service.
Now I want to install JB (Pure CM+: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284432) but I need some help and don't wanna lost the money!
Thanks in advance
to unlock bootloader you must downlad SE bootloader unlocker, install fastboot drivers from its folder, type your imei and press unlock bootloader....very simple

Unlocking bootloader is not dangerous, installing custom kernels might be.

your phone didn't die then, it dies when it won't even vibrate or charge, you just didn't know how to flash a ROM.

I used to have a lot of android mobiles... but no one was so "risky"

No, it don't. We must wait for a solution in xda.
hope to get a solution sometime.... i've heard some roms can install with just root but no bootloader unlock... i guess they run on the old kernel

Thanks for the reply. Are custom rom with J will fit into E? And the second question is whether to install the official rom that need to have unlocked bootloader or not ?
To install official Rom via pc companion , you will need a locked bootloader otherwise you will brick your device
Official updates can be installed via Emma the official Sony flashtool or androxyde flashtool if u have a locked Or unlocked bootloader
And about roms
I have never tried.. I don't wanna try either
Because I can't raise enough fund for a new device if I brick my phone

hello everyone , i have been trying to unlock the bootloader on my xperia e3 and i checked it says its not allowed .... so i was wondering is there anyway to change this from no to yes ? i have read lots of things about getting it sim unlocked some say it worked some say it didnt .. so basically whats the easiest way for me to be able to unlock the bootloader as all i want to do is put a custom rom on it to free up some ram as i have 100 mb free and loads used and its hell slow !!!
If it says it's not allowed, it means you can't unlock it by any means.
