What you just posted is the same thing as this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-developement-t2971213
Is the phone sim locked? If it is, you need to sim unlock it in order to unlock the bootloader. Debranding just removes bloatware
Thanks David I would guess it's sim locked due to me buying from ee cheers

Dial *#*#7378423#*#* . Then go to -> "Service Info" -> "Configuration". If there is:
Bootloader unlock allowed - No << this means that your Bootloader is Locked and can't be unlocked
Bootloader Unlocked - Yes or root << this means that your bootloader is unlocked
Also If X is on NETWORK and value is different than 0, you can unlock your phone. If it is 0 unlock by code is NOT possible.
Thanks I have [X] Network 5 so looks like I need to get a sim unlock code too

You can't unlock the bootloader if you have the t-mobile version

That depend on your service provider. Majority will void and u can only relock the bootloader to the original state if u have the TA keys backup.

Telus Pixel is SIM locked. Bootloader is locked, but I easily unlocked and rooted with available methods. SIM network unlock will probably cost moolah.

Just to confirm this. I got a Rogers Pixel and comes with SIM unlocked and unlockable bootloader.
All other Canadian ones should be the same.

For what it's worth, the Telus Pixel I tried is NOT SIM locked!
the CRTC changed the rules earlier this year, as of December 1St, carriers are no longer allowed to sim lock phones and must unlock existing phones, when asked, without a fee....
regarding Rogers / bootloader. definitely unlocked...
