So I was checking out Sony's bootloader unlock page to find out if my bootloader can be unlocked. Of course mine has to be locked permanently. Question is, is it as permanent as they say? Forgive my ignorance. Rogers irritates me so much.

dear all,
i have posted my question about how to unlock bootloader for asian retail users and i have got the firmware sbf here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172771 thanks to daywalker04. but still, i couldn't unlock my bootloader.
forgive me for asking similar question, but i really don't understand what to do. i got DHD before this and i have no problem in modifying it. however atrix is way different. the potential is high, but i couldn't do anything. so, anyone please give me a noob guide to unlock my phone's bootloader?
thanks in advance
Hello everyone, this is my first post on this forum.
I recently bought an Xperia Mini pro and would like to completely unlock it.
I saw some peoples who remotely unlock those phones with SETool.
There is also a software called Omnius and would like to know if it can unlock SIM, fastboot and bootloader on Xperia Mini Pro SK17i, this isn't specified in any post.
Thank you in advance for your responses.
Hy!
Yes, you can unlock it with Omnius, I unlocked my phone today in this way.
You need to buy one Android Single Unlock license.
Thank you Sir.
Done.
sorry to bump old thread.. will this work for carrier locked phones bootloaders also? or just sim lock and leave bootloader locked with no fast boot?
Omnius just deals with SIM-lock (and works well: I unlocked my SK17i this way). You need to then use another method (eg Doomlord's) to root. HTH.
Does anyone know if omnius unlock will work if the "allow bootloader unlock: no" setting is present? Can't seem to find any information about this on their website.
I hate my carrier so much...
thx

Yes, because mine didn't allow unlocking the bootloader, and I unlocked it with the "Android single unlock" license by Omnius.
Thanks for clarifying that. I assumed that was the case, but I wanted to check before handing over the monies!
Hi,
I have xperia tablet z from EE UK and in service menu it says i cannot unlock bootloader. If i get it unlocked from carrier will the option change to "YES" and then can I unlock my bootloader. I have to install custom roms on it.
Please help me. Thank you.
If I have posted this thread in wrong section sorry for that. Admin can move it if found to be in wrong section

I think it still cannot be unlocked, since carrier unlocking and bootloader unlocking are separate from each other.
In short words: no.
In long words: nope, carrier lock = SIM lock -> different physical module than bootloader lock.
I did SIM-unlock mine, still bootloader unlock allowed = no

I had the same situation I went to the guy, he took off me simlock and unlock the bootloader unlocked this way :laugh:
Only removing SIM-lock is not enough.
Depending on when your phone is manufactured, it may be possible. Check the manufacturing date, it is under the battery. If it is before 12W11 (year 2012, week 11), then it is possible. Otherwise, no.
There is 11W36. Do you know some tutorial for unlock this "unlockable bootloader" ?
isn't it dangerous? does it work?
I did it via wotanserver, but it's not free.
No homemade way??
Hello everyone, I hope someone has an idea if I can unlock the bootloader or its impossible, because I've been trying more than a month to find a way to unlock my bootloader to root the phone but not a single chance and my phone is Canadian was locked to bell but I unlocked the phone.
Thanks
