please anyone knew help us with a step by step explanation .
Thanks,
there is one One touch tool to unlock bootloader but the thing is u need to be on 2.1 then it can unlock bootloader easily !! if u can flash 2.1 then search for the one touch tool i dont remember the name exactly but u can search the forums for it !!
If you go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 and download flashtool you can unlock with one click of button. You need to be on stock kernel to do this. or unlock button will be grayed out
Edit: Is your phone sim locked or unlocked? If it is unlocked u need to check with s1tool if you can actually unlock this way (it can break your device). Info for this is here:

Thank you all for your support I unlocked the boot loader with the flash tool .
The reason why it didn't work for the first time was cause the su binary of the root was old and i update it the tried again and It worked .
Thank you all .

No.even 2.3.3 also can unlock bootloader using Flashtool.
Here's the easiest step.
1.Download the latest flashtool.
2.Flash the phone to stock SE 2.3.3 ROM.
3.Root Your Phone
4.Click Plugin & unlock your bootloader.
Thats all.

Hi everyone, i´m having problems with unlock bootloader and i dont know why, because i follow all the instructions.
what is this about su binary of the root? how can i check version and how can i update it, just for try.

Search forum for s1tool and follow. Also (not sure if this is accurate or not) type on keypad *#*#service#*#*, go on service info, software info & check s1 boot version it has few numbers then r8a033. If the r Is lower case (like above) then I believe u have unlocked. Even easier after I type all this flash doom kernel for unlock bl if se logo is replaced by dooms boot pic then u unlocked allow

Benefits would be custom kernels no more SE crap I find that my phone is a hell of a lot faster than when the BL was locked

Hello xda. I want to unlock my bootloader. If i unlock it with official way, is there any way to relock it and flash via pc companion & seus when ics is out ?
With the unofficial way is it dangerous?
Thanks

Hi !
I have an Xperia Mini Pro (sk17i) and i can't unlock the bootloader is vodafone. I searched custom roms with stock kernel and there are none.
Why there are no roms with stock kernel? It's possible?
Thanks !
Why can't you unlock bootloader? Which unlock method did you try (the official one or the testpoint version)?
U can use UXP NXT room, this for stock rom with xperia s taste...
No need unlock bootloader, just root and flash with cwm

Branded phones cannot have unlocked bootloader at all, both methods will not work.

This is some Xperia mod, mostly edits only the visual part. Does not require bootloader unlock.
Might be more, only some stock-based ROMs can run with stock kernel.
you can unlock bootloader on branded phones with test point, i did it with mine unfortunately it did no good because due to a sim lock restriction i had no access to fastboot mode so i had to completely unlock mi phone using setool (paid tool) or you can also use omnius (paid tool).

Yes, only via paid methods can bootloader be unlocked right now.
Most of the custom ROMs need seperate kernel... However u cn try UXP NXT Rom... I think it uses the stock kernel

read that. Everything regarding bootloader unlocking should be there remember, you MUST be on stock 2.3.3 rom to unlock bootloader. The official Sony Ericsson rom, not any stock-based rom..
