Unlocking it doesn't lose anything as far as I've noticed; check that you still have the APN's there, that's probably it.
lost APN
the APNs are gone... where cann i find them or can you post them so i can put them back?

You weren't rooted when you unlocked the bootloader? Wow, brave to go into that first! Try Gladroot, same forum.
Hit them thanks buttons in your endeavours!

I've decided to root my phone... as far as I know I won't lose my warranty If I'll be rooted right?
So All I want is just root permissions... NO custom ROMS or Kernels.
I am using GB stock 6.0.B.3.184 firmware android 2.3.7
So Do I need to unlock my bootloader to root? Or I can proceed without doing that?
And could someone provide me with link how to root Xperia Sola with GB stock firmware?
Thank's
Please... I have looked everywhere.
Also found sources where people are searching for a way to root phone without upgrading to ICS with no luck.

You can root without unlocking your bootloader. Bootloader need to be unlocked only if you want to flash custom kernels or roms like cm9,cm10, miui etc.
You can try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Confirmed on the first post that works on sola also. Hope works with gb also

says It's for ICS/JB.
Nothing mentioned about GB... I'll better ask If it can be done on GB as well.
Thanks
zmeu27, your suggested method looks too complicated and I don t want to lose my warranty. Thanks anyway.

My bad mate. Try this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849030.
Hope this works. I don't use gb and can't tell you for sure which is the best choice, i am looking in various threads to find the best way.
You can also have GB with root permissions with a LOCKED BOOTLOADER

This one says It needs fastboot, so do I really need to unlock bootloader?
How hard is it..? To unlock bootloader, As far as I know it can be done at Sony homepage, Whats the advantage of unlocking it and do it has any cons... already know that it means lost wariaty, and that's a risk.
And finally can bootloader be locked again? To make everything as it used to be?

Hello guys,
I tried to unlock my bootloader a few weeks ago and it was horrible, so i sent it to service and they sent me a brand new phone. But i want to unlock bootloader and i don't know what files use excatly on this model. Can you help me?
Sys. info : ver.: 45.31.20.MB860.Vodafone.en.EU
Android stock 2.3.4
build num.: 4.5.2A-74_OLE-31.20
root: yes
unlocked bootloader: no
What exactly is so confusing here?
Clearly you need to use the ihop version. The rest of the process is the same for every Atrix out there.

Guide
IHOP bootloader
Unlocking the bootloader doesn't always work (depends on the device and some other things), but I can't imagine a situation where a failed unlock would require taking the phone to the service center...
Ok, i'll try it tomorrow thanks....but when it fails ? ...last time it said me "failed to boot 2" ...
Did you actually read the whole procedure? Because it doesn't seem like you did.
Yes, I did....then i tried to search far on the google and i found that i am not alone with thi problem. Many people is saying, that is unable to unlock this bootloader...:/
http://mobility.forumsee.com/a/m/s/p12-9847-0229151--atrix-bootloader-unable-unlock.html
"Failed to boot" is a perfectly normal and expected part of the unlock process and everyone gets it. All you have to do is boot into fastboot mode and flash a custom recovery, then use that to flash a ROM. I don't know why you went to Google, literally all you need is here on XDA.
I used this guide to unlock 4 Atrix boot-loader so far including my own http://atrix4ghacks.com/atrix-4g-hacks/how-to-unlock-bootloader-and-install-permanent-recovery/
Ok, I will try it now ....
EDIT: it still gives me that OEM unlock is not implemented...
Either you didn't flash the IHOP SBF correctly, or you have one of those newer Atrixes that cannot be unlocked.

Yup, after 2012 I think, atrixes' bootloaders can't be unlocked
And, is there any chance, that I can unlock it, or in some service?

The only thing you can do is join the crowd of people who have the same problem which has yet to be solved. There is nothing you can do right now to unlock your device.
I know that pain.. I am an Atrix owner too, who owns a newer one..
I don't think that we will see them unlocked, because a lot of devs already moved on and there are now just a few Atrix owners..

Forgive me if this is stupid, its the only solution I have been able to come up with to my original issue (here if anyone has a better solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2798335)
Because I cant access my recovery I need to flash a stock firmware to basically wipe the slate and start again. The only issue I have is that the only ftf file I can find for the UK is unbranded whilst my phone is locked on EE, if I was to flash the unbranded file will it play nicely or are things going to go from bad to worse? I would guess that it probably wouldn't work, but it there's no harm in checking.
so nobody knows the answer to this?

It should work but I think the SIM won't work. Then again, I don't know anything about locked carriers (Never had one).
If your bootloader is unlocked, try the EMMA service by Sony. It finds your phone's stock firmware if you're on a custom ROM with unlocked bootloader.

Try the Sony Update Service.
It should automatically find the latest firmware for your device and flash it.

Hi guys. I was wondering how could I root my device, been trying on my own for days and couldnt get it done. Im on Android 10 and my version is SM-G9650. Ive never flashed any rom or recovery to it, what I could do was to unlock? the bootloader of my device by going to dev setting and activating OEM unlock. Thanks beforehand.
So you say you can't get root done but then at the end you claim to only have unlocked the bootloader. I'm presuming you've searched XDA for the numerous rooting guides available that provide step by step instructions? If your using a guide then you should be past the unlocking of the boot loader and there would be some step you are stuck on? Can you tell us that step?
