Hi guys!
I want to root my device, but as far as I know, the only way to root is to unlock the bootloader.
So I checked if I could unlock my bootloader by checking in Configuration in Service info:
Rooting status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: No
What do I do now to root my lovely and one-day old Xperia S?
Thanks!

Why you guys are so reluctant to take some time to read the forum?
There are numerous threads around saying it's not possible at the moment!

help me...
Root and bootloader are two distinct things. Unlocked bootloader allows you to change kernel, while root is the ability to pass certain system restrictions.
What are you trying to do? un-root your phone or relock bootloader? I think the fiorst since i doubt you unlocked your BL, in that case just flash the stock ftf for your phone

First, ur firmware version cant be rooted (need to downgrade to .58) with that tool.
Second, that tool is for rooting, not to unlock ur bootloader.
Third, "unlock bootloader allowed: yes" means u can unlock it, doesnt mean it already unlocked or rooted.
U have a lot misunderstanding man. Learn more...

@chepoz thanks now i understand a little.
if u have wt19i or any other android device than i want to know is rooting is really a necessary for hiding app icon from launcher.
i m not so tech person
or what r the risk in after rooting the phone
unlock bootloader allowed: yes is this due to script which was i run on manufacturer permission
becaz i afraid about my warranty.
There are no risks in rooting your phone, as that merely allows for certain apps to run certain functions (it all depends on what you do with those apps, i.e if you overclock or undervolt wrongly using apps for this you might fry your phone)
It is not due to the script, some devices can unlock bootloader thorugh sony official method (those marked bootloader allowed yes), if it says bootloader allowed No one would have to use testpoint or wotan server method if this doesn't work
Rooting does not void warranty, unlocking bootloader does.
Hi gents,
I ve got a sk17i , branded T-Mobile, servis menu says: Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO
I want to put CM11 but I have to unlock bootloader first. Is there any possibility to unlock bootloader?
Thank you so much for help

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, I am the owner of a SE LwW I had used it for a while running on some locked bootloader roms, a few years had passed now and I wonder if there's a method to unlock bootloader on new security devices (Above 12w13 I think) and of course my device says "Rooting status allowed: No".

So your phone cant Root with current rom
Upgrade to latest version of ROM by Sony Companion..
Then recheck Rooting status
I've been searching lately for a bootloader unlocking service for SE LWW, found a few places which offers unlocking, but none of them are capable of unlocking phones manufactured after 12W11.
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
Hi! I have an sk14a, I would like to know if there are any news regarding the posibility of unlocking the bootloader. Thanks!
