[Q] Unlocked bootloader by unlocking sim testpoint - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Ok dumb question, i unlocked the network sim lock on my neo by the test point method cos i hardlocked the sim by entering the pass wrong too many times.
did this unlock the bootloader?
Or to put it another way, to unlock a hardlocked phone you unlock the bootloader using the testpoint method?
sorry if this sounds stupid, ive been been trying to search for some way of testing to see if the bootloader is unlocked by this method but carn't find any

---

Aye thx for the reply, i know the process of unlocking the bootloader with the various methods,
As i understand it, unlocking the bootloader also unloacks the sim lock?
....so i was was wondering the way i unlocked the simlock on the phone with some software and using the testpoint was actually unlocking the bootloader with the side effect of unlocking the sim too?
I didn't ask how to unlock the bootloader!

What software?
The answer is most likely you have, especially if you used testpount.
Dial
*#*#7378423#*#*
Should show rooting status:yes if unlocked.

It was x unlock solutions.. put your phone modal in then follow the vid with some tweezers etc
It says bootloader unlock allowed : yes
but that just means it can be unlocked? not that it is?
just found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506388 acording to the s1 tool it is unlocked

Also when you sim unlock via bootloader replacement(xunlock, omnius or setool), that text changes, you can guarantee it was no before you unlocked, but s1tool or just trying a fastboot command is more reliable

Bootloader unlock by TP method s1tool fails
I'm a noob in unlocking. I rooted my as soon as I got my phone but was hesitant about BL unlocking. I tried it today but it doesn't unlock, and also it didn't brick luckily. Here's the s1tool screensnap attached.
I installed the drivers, opened s1tool and did everything as mentioned in Noobs guide.

I did the same, network sim unlock via test point. But, PCC has not worked since. It knows I've done something. SUS works sometimes. I have tried using flashtool, relock ftf and adb sony relock and none of this changed anything. Can I unpatch or correct the patch and unlock officially? I'd really like to do that.
Thanks for any info I don't know much about test point.
