no i havent unlocked my bootloader or sim lock and such.
im more than happy if you tell me the step by step
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
there's instructions here, the first page covers service menu and whether the bootloader can be unlocked for your phone. You can check the simlock in the same service menu.
The development stuff that they said to download was missing fastboot.exe so I hopefully attached that along with the drivers.
If you can and do unlock it, then it's time to worry about how to flash a new kernel

Yes i know you told me earlier in a pm,
but does anyone now how you unlock network with setool?
x10 stand not in the list, only very old phones.
actually no. you dont have to unlock your phone carrier. i unlocked my bootloader without unlocking the phone carrier. there is a tool to check if you are eligible for unlocking your bootloader
You do NOT need to use setool to unlock your carrier before unlocking bootloader!
I was sim locked to vodafone (And never used setool) and I have unlocked my bootloader by following the steps posted in this thread with the kernel upgrade/downgrade method.
If you have never unlocked the sim then you can use the tool posted the_laser to unlock the bootloader.
Ok thanks mates

please can anyone help me to unlock my boot loader step by step in an easy way either with the latest flash tool or any other tool ?
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:

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 .

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.

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

Bootloader can be unlocked only 2 ways. Service shops will likely ask money. Relocking is actually easier than unlocking.
There is only one ROM that doesn't require unlocked bootloader, Xperia UXP NXT.

It's like wotan server, allows you to unlock your bootloader, flash stock roms I think and check and repair your phone, it works for SE and Samsung if I'm not wrong :$

You cannot unlock bootloader via Flashtool or any image files.
Bootloader is done via Official method or test point method. Quagnhut's(sorry if misspelled) program also uses official SE method.

Yea, it is basically the same as you would go yourself through the guide on unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com.
Hi,
I have a WT19i with Three UK.. *yada yada*
I got this phone because I wanted something new that looks good and works well, Since February and now I have discovered - I don't like the UI and I can't stand the screen.
Basically all I'm looking to do is unlock my bootloader so I can flash MIUI or CM9 but apparently, Three aren't going to let me unlock it. I checked in the service menu and it shows that the bootloader unlock is not allowed which really sucks.
I was going to do the testpoint method or official but after reading up, testpoint on a phone with 'Bootloader unlock allowed: No' can brick it..
Does anyone know if this is true? I'm seriously considering trying it anyway with S1 boot of whatever.. I can't stand this stupid software and UI anymore.
Thanks!
You need to use paid method to unlock your phone and enable fastboot. After that can bootloader be unlocked.

@Someguyfromhell You mean network unlock? I paid for my phone to be unlocked by Three last Saturday but they still don't have the key yet They said hopefully this Saturday
After that should I be able to unlock the bootloader?

Incorrect if done with code at the operator.
Only WotanServer, Omnius and these providers unlock both(at once I think, not sure).
To install custom ROM, install the custom kernel provided with the ROM, enter recovery and install the ROM.
Kernel installation is included in my tutorial, link in signature.

So will I have to unlock my bootloader some other way?
Installing kernels is just using the boot.img in the roms .zip through fastboot isn't it? Done it before on my old GT540 many times What command is it on the LWW?
I used to use flash boot boot.img?

Yes, but if you had network lock you might have to enable fastboot also. Check it from service menu. Then you can unlock bootloader. Also in my tutorial.
Command ia "fastboot flash boot boot.img".

First of all, I'm spanish, my apologizes of my expresions or misspelling.
That's what I've done:
1 - I've checked if my bootloader was unlockable, and my phone say's: NO
2 - Then I've installed the DualRecovery W/O root and with my phone bootlocked.
3 - Then I've tryed to flash CM11 in TWRP recovery, flashing first the Boot.img via fastboot.
4 - Device in Red Light.
What I can do to woke up my Z2? That's my record 2 hrs to **** my phone. :silly:
Firstly, it's stated in the first post of the CM11 thread that you shouldn't be using dual recovery. If you read the thread further, you'll see that it is recommended to use the recovery in DooMKernel to flash. And this requires unlocked bootloader.
Anyways, you can try using Flashtool to flash a stock firmware. Might be able to recover your phone.

If your BL is locked, you cannot install CM.... coz you cannot install a custom kernel. you should rebuild your phone using SEUS to put a good ROM.
Then you can put whatever ROM you want for LB and root it. but no custom kernel.

You can download a Generic FTF and use flashtool to flash it to your device
Once you unlock your bootloader it stays unlock till you relock
You can flash roms n manage general other stuff from recovery
