Take it you want me to look at flash tools is that right can that unlock and relock the bootloader for my Neo v ?

Look for the relocking bootloader ftf file (for neo v) in this category and flash it in the flash mode.
make sure you make backup of everything if something incase goes wrong.
and also if you unlocked bootloader via sony's official site then you can relock it but you wont get the certificates as they're already gone while unlocking it + warranty is voided.

Hi I recently bought the sony ericsson WT19i (Live), now I want to flash cyanogenmod but i don't know how. I read something about unlocking bootloader bu I can only find tutorials for Xperia range phone's also is there a way to backup my current ROM and EFS partition?.
I have alot of expirience with android so just some links should do.
Also is there a way to Re-Lock the bootloader?
You must unlock bootloader first. Then flash custom rom, and install cm using update zip.

Thanks but unlocking avoids warranty and no official updates. Is it worth it?
From what i understand with a locked bootloader you cant boot into recovery, right?

Ssory my english is bad. I am russian user.
With unlocked bootloder you can not oficially update you device.
You can install cwm to locked stok rom and boot into recovery.
Unlock bootloader only need to flash modded kernel.
after unlocking you can lock bootloader. Drm key's not restore

To unlock your bootloader that says "Bootloader unlock allowed:yes", go to the official Sony site for get bootloader's codes, my recommendation is download last version of FlashTool and when you connect your device in flash mode (with phone off push "Back" button and plug usb cable) then you have a "Plugins" tab, go there and select "unlock bootloader" it shows you a window where you put your IMEI and the bootloader unlock code that you get of Sony official site, and flash tool will do the work for you.
If your bootloader says "Bootloades unlock allowed:no" and you have SIM lock, you can try http://www.fastgsm.com that offers now at cheapest prices for Xperia Neo SIM Unlocking and bootloader unlock in the same price, the unlock software is fully compatible with Windows 8.
I hope I helped, Good luck!!
it could not！

Hi, iam new to Sony but did have htc wildfire I've rooted and overclocked, iam about to root Sony Xperia mini but I've noticed someone say theres 2 different methods depending on your bootloader I've done that *# code and checked it says yes so what iam wondering and wanting to find out is how to check the bootloader is locked or unlocked, iam on .62 software iam looking to downgrade, root then update, any help would be appreciated thanks
Sent from my ST15i using xda app-developers app
Connect it to flashtool and look at the Bootloader Status: ROOTED or ROOTABLE. ROOTED means the bootloader is unlocked
Or you type *#*#7378423#*#* and go to service info -> configuration -> rooting status:
bootloader unlocked: yes [obviously it's unlocked ]
bootloader unlock allowed: yes [unlockable]
bootloader unlock allowed: no [not unlockable, only with a paid method]
Ok thank you, iam sure its locked and with *# I get yes so that means its unlockable, all I wanna do is delete standard apps that come on phone. So should I use and follow your method for locked bootloader? Do I just flash straight over the .62, thanks

Sorry also where u say
MAKE SURE PC COMPANION OR SONY UPDATE SERVICE ISN'T RUNNING IN BACKGROUND WHILE YOU ARE FLASHING!!! DON'T USE THIS METHOD IF YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED, OTHERWISE YOUR DEVICE WILL BRICK!! (Unlocked bootloader can't do updates over the air, but flashing won't destroy your phone on unlocked bootloader!)
Is that on pc? Thanks

Yes this is on PC
Yes just follow the guide to root it and afterwards you can delete all unwanted apps :good:

i relock my bootloader by this method relock bootloader post
is there any other option i can try...plzz lemme know

If you are using stock. 54 tft file, it doesnt matter if your bootloader is locked, it will work on both. If you want to use Rom for unlocked, then you need to keep bootloader unlocked all the time you are using the Rom. If you flash unlocked and then relock it, you will get bootloop.

If it is Sony stock tft file, then yes, its working on both, locked and unlocked.
If its customized Rom based on stock, then read the OP.

P.S. branded = locked bl

Do you have a ST25a or ST25i? If you're installing an ST25a on a i you should exclude the base band in flashtool and the other way around. I don't know if this causes the boot loop, but it might be worth the try.
Yes... But a boot loop isn't necessarily. It's the best probability. Maybe... Just vibrate and nothing else.
I have unlocked bl on my Neo v with test point method but its still network locked and when trying to get into fastboot mode the light shines white for a moment then goes out. Have connect to s1tool and checked to see if it worked and the r whent from R (locked bl) to r (unlocked bl) and have rooted phone as well have I done something wrong
Can I buy a unlock code and use it now its been bl unlocked and rooted and if so where's the best place to get 1 from
Thanks Jay

If your manufacturing date is below 12w10 it can be unlocked by setool or else you have to buy code

Jay are you using a customized ROM or stock and If customized tell me the kernel.
