Hi, i readed a lot of post and i cant find answer to my question. Is it possible to unlock bootloader when "Bootloader unlock allowed " says NO ?
no unfortunately not. In spain sony provide a service to pick up your phone and send it to the SAT where they change the status from not to yes. So you can try in your country, just ask sony service care. cheers

Already did a search and readings. I read that if the "bootloader" option is not present in Service info, Settings after dialing *#*#7378423#*#*, it's not possible to unlock by normal means.
Then I read that, by "releasing" the device from the vendor (unlocking sim), I get the option for unlocking bootloader, but since I'm in Mexico this is not an option. Vendor is monopoly and kind of "tricky" or "unreliable".
So I'm here to ask you if there's a way to unlock this phone, even if it was a long or difficult one. I want to install custom roms on it...
Thanks.
Someone?

Here i leave the link to the tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsLANiBftec
This tutorial it's no mine.
Now, i bought an Xperia Miro (Mesona) and i need to unlock the network too.
Somebody know how can i get this code from this device with ADB or something like that?
Sorry for the video language, im from mexico and i speak spanish.
You cant unlock Xperias for free as the sim lock certificate is locked away in the bootloader. You can pay for an unlock code fron many websites
I don't understand, there are some ROMs which have Unlocked Bootloader... So, why is this not possible ?

The problem is that my cellphone have the bootloader locked, in the service menu says: "Bootloader Unlock: NO" and i read about it, but "ST23a" doesn't have any way to unlock bootloader.
If I insert a different SIM, phone requests a network unlock code. I found a program to calculate the code but unfortunately is in a host where you have to fill a survey to download the file.
I don't know if that program works but it's impossible download it without register your cellphone number in a "phone club".
I know that there are some pages where i can pay to unlock my phone, but all are so expensive.
If you know a page where i can get the code without pay more than 30 euros, please let me know.

Hi,
I did research using uncle google but I can't find any good answer.
So the question is: Is possible to unlock boot loader with any other method than official sony web site?
I'm interested if it's even test point method because on my J "Bootloader unlock Status" says No.
Maybe I should flash something jet like simlock.sin?
Any ideas?
Phone was sim locked before but it is already (sim) unlocked by code, unfortunately status remain the same.
Can anyone help with that?

I want to install a custom ROM and recovery on my Z3 but I can't find a way to unlock the bootloader. Even with the FlashTool it doesn't seems to work. I tried downgrading to an earlier version but everytime my phone gets bricked unless I use the last version available.
Thanks
Go to dialer. Type *#*#7378423#*#*
In service menu navigate to service info, configuration, and you will see a line that says "bootloader unlock available: yes" or "no"
If it says no then you will not be able to unlock the bootloader as it is factory locked to this state.
If it says yes then follow the Sony guide to bootloader unlocking Z3. They will email you the unlock code and details of how to proceed.

It says "no"... There's no way I can unlock it if it's written no ?

That's correct.
Unfortunately not all devices can be unlocked and there's no way to change that status.

Hi,
as reported in the official Sony page "If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step (to unlock bootloader). If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.".
It seems to be a problem of the carrier but if your carrier is Movistar you can give a look on this thread:
search on Google "Bootloader unlock allowed: No... SONY solve it, please!" (sorry but i can't post link)
