How to unlock bootloader when not allowed? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi, this is just probably a stupid question, but is there anyway of unlocking bootloader when it says that it is not allowed after typing in *#*#7378423#*#* and going to Service Info, configuration? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
By the way, I did google it.

Hey friend,
You have to unlock bootloader by SE Unlock bootloader 1.6v. This thread is available in development section. Just follow step by step.

This will not work as it is the official way to unlock the bootloader.
Currently the only way seems only via paid method because fastboot is not enabled.

But I did it by this version and it successfully done.

That is because you had Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes.
He has it No, which means his fastboot is not enabled.

Does that mean if I unlock my phone network my bootloader will be able to be unlocked?

You need to do it via specific paid method, because you also need to get fastboot enabled. Just getting unlock code from network operator will not help, as it doesn't enable the fastboot and Bootloader Unlock Allowed stays No.

You can also relock your bootloader and reflash the stock kernel.

Are you sure you can relock bootloader after unlock via testpoint metod? Thats impossible.

Testpoint unlock on ICS???

Just a question.
Does the Testpoint method to unlock the bootloader works on a Mini (St15i) when I'm on ICS (stock)?
Or do I need to use official method?
Thanks

Rom is not important... Just try it.l When you get an error saying ": qcReceivePacket: can't get packet start" you can not use testpoint method due to new security by Sony.
So basically I should either use official method or downgrade to GB to be sure that it works?

I first made a backup of my DRM keys, so i can go back to a locked bootloader if I want. But that's only possible if you're already rooted. You can try Bin4ry's method, but if that doesn't work you should skip this step. Then you can backup your TA partition.
Then you can unlock you're bootloader. Sony's own instructions (search for "Sony unlock bootloader") are very good.
Tnx mate

See that? LT22i is XP!
Nevermind, hadn't seen your link before :silly:
Anyway, bootloader unlock tool won't be device specific I think so if that tool supports unlocking bootloader it'll be for all 2012 Xperia atleast, and anyways, all Xperias supporting unlock have the same bootloader unlock method
