I think you cannot unlock your bl, but further i dont know for sure, mine says yes but i have neo v, maybe someone else knows it, but i think and yes i say it again you can not unlock it.
Succes.
Sent from my Neo V with supercharged ICS ^^
first, learn to write useful topic title, its there for purpose, i believe you can edit it still.
second, your phone have sim-lock which also means its fastboot is locked.
third, you can unlock all that with setool. find someone who have it, you can search user with nick jinx13, he can do it over the internet, but don't know the price, you will ask him that.

Hi guys,
i've bought the SK17i in Italy and this have the firmware 4.0.A.335 I need a lot root it and a easy tutorial for that (better if is videotutorial) I wait ur answer thanks a lot Tyrigi.
Same here.
there is only one way to root your mini at the moment.
its really complicated and there are no videos about it.
so i guess you should probably wait until there is a easier root solution
you can easily unlock the bootloader for getting rooted. it's not as difficult as you think.

Hello, i just bought an sk17i mini pro Orange branded. Of course i want to root it and I found a lot of solution, specially one on this board .But finally it doesnt work, my bootloader cant be unlocked because of brand. It's just here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16659481&postcount=33
I found a 2nd solution on this board again but i don't understand if finally a branded sk17i bootloader can be unlocked or not. Some people say yes, and others no. I want to post a message but it 's in development area so i have to wait 10 messages.....and tis is my first one

Hy!
I have a same problem... I tried a lot of thing, but... If in your Service Menu it say "Bootloader unlock allowed: No", you can't do anything.
Every method need to boot Fastboot mode. If your phone is branded, and not allowed to unlock bootloader, you cannot start the Fastboot mode... Now.
The Branded SK17i Team waiting for the solution
pls try the s1 tool method. it's a little complicated. but you can do it. and the you will not lose your DRM.
I tried it... I can't enter Fastboot mode.
I think s1tool TP method is only work if your Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes...
tell me exactly what you did to enter into the fastboot mode?
@irumbustalin, do you mean s1tool can unlock branded sk17i?
If not, as soon as Orange unsimlock my phone, will i be able to root it after?
Thanks a lot,
Sorry but UP UP!
Hi!
If i check the service menu, i se this: Bootloader unlock allowed: No
I have a T-Mobile branded Xperia Mini ST15i.

Hi.
Hey friend, do not mean to be rude but, reading all these issues, returns to the conclusion that only unlocked phones can be released by the companies, but taking up the title of this topic which we have locked the phone, as we unlock? none of these issues solved our problem.
PS: sorry for not write properly, but my language is Spanish and translates all this text with google translator.
Hello everyone, I'm Santiago, from Argentina. I bought an Xperia Mt11i (Neo V) smartphone last year from argentinian phone carrier Claro (ex-CTI).
It's my first android phone and as I came to learn a bit about the system, I wanted to unlock my bootloader o I could install custom roms and kernels, as I have been playing with some cutom roms, but I can only access the ones that do not require Bootloader unlocked (i.e., I can't install CyanogenMod, MIUI v5, etc).
Checking in the SERVICE hidden menu, the status in my phone says "Bootloader Unlock Allowed=NO" (so I coudn't follow the official Sony guide to unlocking the bootloader) and I contacted my phone carrier to ask them wether they could do something about it, either by free or paying methods. They replied that bootloader is a device function, not a service provided/modified by them and that I should ask directly to Sony. As there is no Sony mobile branch in Argentina, I went to the talk.sonymobile forums to post my question in hope that someone may be able to tell me wether something can be done about this. Over there someone said that they thought it could be done (something about having done it with xperia Z), that I should ask over the xda forums, so here I am.
I searched info over the forums but didn't find any threads regarding my specific problem, which is changing the "bootloader allowed" status from NO to YES with phones bought from a telephone carrier. I've found tons and tons of info on how to unlock the bootloader, but all of them are for "bootloader allowed=yes" cases, so I thought it was worth the shot asking about this.
I should also add that my phone is in fact SIM-locked at the moment, and I have no idea wether this is a limitation for what I'm trying to do or not. Reading throughout the web I encountered several places that said that SIM-Unlocking your phone via NCK code (which I could obtain from my phone carrier) does not, indeed, unlock your bootloader, but I was wondering if it might, at least, change the status to "Unlock Allowed=YES" (this, I read, is sometimes the case).
I am eager to find a solution to this situation, so any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Santiago.

Well that's too bad, I was really hoping I would be able to somehow.
After calling Customer Service a lot, I'm now waiting for a direct reply from my phone carrier about the subject. Over at the sony forums they told me that Sony couldn't unlock it because of legal issues with the phone carrier, as the phone carrier is usually the one that demands to have a locked bootloader. I'm still hoping, however, that there'll be some sort of workaround and that either Sony or my phone carrier will give me some sort of solution. It's been done before, apparently, with Movistar in Spain. Apparently Sony was able to unlock the bootloader for those that bought an Xperia 2011 phone with Movistar Spain that had "Bootloader Unlock Allowed : NO". I can't post a link that thread yet, as I'm still new here at xda, but I'm quoting what it says over there: "In a nutshell "The Solution Sony proposses is, for those of you with a code-unlocked terminal, to contact Sony at [email protected], with your email, imei and unlocking code".
I know it's a particular case with Movistar Spain, but I'm still trying to get some info on wether something similar can be accomplished between my phone carrier and Sony.
Thanks for your reply, and I'm still hoping someone over here can tell me something about all of this.
It's your phone carrier mate, they locked up the phone. Call them everyday until they remove the sim-lock on your phone..
For me Linus Torvalds is the greatest man on earth

Well that seems to be the case, even though they are playing dumb and saying they are not the reason for locking the bootloader and that I should contact Sony and have them solve the problem for me....
I think I'm about to go into war with these guys. I kinda get why they lock the bootloader, what I won't forgive is being lied to like this. It's outrageous.
I'll check this post periodically though, maybe there's one of those miraculous solutions that I can try in the meantime.
Thanks for replying anyways.
Sadly even if your bootloader is unlocked you won't get to install the custom kernels
As your fastboot would still be SIM locked
And that can't be undone by Sony ofcourse
--You've to unlock fastboot
--Unlocking bootloader is no big deal -you'll have to pay few bucks and use wotanserver or s2 tool
There's a guide on using Testpoint (unofficial) unlocking in Neo V development section
Hope this clears out your issues more clearly
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
my phone had the same problem and i briked my phone and then repaired it with preset.ta file and then used s1tool to unlock it and it is unlocked now
you can also use plasma tool for free unlock(i tried it also and it worked)

Hello folks, well first of all I wanna say thanks for this community, with a big stuff and tutorials and help ppl, ok now my question is, I have Xperia U ST25a with unlocked Band for any company , because they give me the code to unlock it, now the problem is the bootloader still not allowed, so my question is, how unlock bootloader Allowed to No to Yes? this is something of my carrier? in this case Movistar? because I speak with support of Sony and they told me never give cellphones with Bootloader blocked, so in this case what I need do for unlock it? need speak every time with my carrier? they give many turns and really this make me sick, because I pay for the cellphone and I want unlock it, so if somebody know the way to do it via tool or something, because don't have idea how they lock bootloader, sure exist some tool to do it, but if they can lock it, too can unlock it, ok I hope somebody can exaplain me it and sorry if disturb here with noob question, but I can't found any information in the net about that, well I read something here about the company is who need give this answer but in my country we have no law to protect us in this regard, ok many thanks for all community again and hope somebody can clarify it to me, cheers.
