I think only way if you forgot pattern is ftf and flashtool... Or restore cwm backup if you made any.

well... no
the only way to bypass this is to wipe the rom
flash stock again or a custom rom

[Q][TIPO] Bootloader unlock status: No

Hey! How's it going?
Got a little problem with Xperia Tipo... The status for unlocking the Bootloader says "no", and according to Sony's Official Guide, when it says "no", there's nothing you could do to unlock it.
I'm having a hard time trying to believe that, so my question is: Is there another way to unlock it, even if it says "no"?
Thanks in advance.

when it says no, bootloader is encrypted with something (i dont know) which now its hard to understand what you need to do to decrypt it...when it says yes, bootloader is already decrypted from company (maybe they forgot to encrypt it ) and with a code which you can easily find it by copy-paste your IMEI to sony official page you can unlock it....i think in the future someone create decryption tools which is only for these bootloaders...first big thing which created now is Flash Gordon which flashing anything zips you want (except roms for now) without having a cwm or twrp recovery...(this is special thing for phones which have locked bootloaders)
i hope that you understand (if no just tell it)
sorry if i make some mistakes

[q] [e] did i lose my warranty?

I rooted my Xperia E SS a month ago. But I did that WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader, through SRSroot. Now, my question - since the bootloader isn't unlocked, is my warranty valid?
If not, will un-rooting my phone make it valid?
HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF I WAS OF ANY HELP

U wont lost varranty. If u root phone,u can unroot it. If u unlock bootloader you can lock it back
Sent from my ST23i using xda premium

Unrooting will help. And no. locking bootloader doesnt help unless you have a DRM key backup.. You loose DRM keys after unlocking bootloader.. that is.. gracenote doesn't work.

you can come back if you root the phone but i dont think that you can lock the bootloader again. 1st lets unlock it and then we think for locking it

I guess flashing ftf will do.... I do a lot of mess with my grand quattro. . But flashing stock rom reverts everything. .. so ol my mess is cleared...

This is never going to happen until sony release new kernel update
We have tried many times to get it done but this never happens.
@ all this fake as we can't boot into fastboot mode unless we get kernel update. so pls don't waste your time in trying this as the OP is not able to give the proof.
also compare the image which the op as added that's saying booloader is unlocked. just compare this img with yours.
