Flash 0.58 firmware using flashtool,root it using doomlord method
XDA Premium sent this message from owner of Sk17i
after the method you say it will allow me to unlock bootloader?
Unlocking bootloader can only be done via paid method, as your fastboot is disabled(Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No).

You said you want to root in your post right?So,no need to unlock bootloader in order to root it
EDIT : If you want to unlock bootloader,unlock it using testpoint and you're done (fix my post if I got something wrong/misleading)

Try to ask your nearest phone service and ask them to unlock your bootloader
Well,I adviced you to NOT unlock your bootloader as it is hard to relock it back (especially if you want to receive official ICS by sony)

As far as I know only stock roms can be instaled w/o bootloader unlocked :/

samsung phones are much much much better in this case!!;9
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.

I got lucky I could unlock it for free via Omnius it was a mess tho >.< but I'm very happy with the results
What's omnius
??
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 can try to unlock your bootloader by downloading the flashtool and image created by quanghut. Try to search the link, I cant post links yet, I used that to unlock my bootloader.

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.

Whatever is better for you. Both ways work, if you follow the instructions properly.
Do some researching, read and learn and decide then.

Try installing custom kernel, if it succeeds, then bootloader is unlocked.

No, thats not true. I "unlocked" my BL with S1tool and says bootloader unlock allowed: yes . But is unlocked already.
If is unlocked with oficial method i think it says: rooted. Correct me if im wrong
Anyway. Try to flash custom kernel maybe is already unlocked

If you patched your bootloader with S1 Tool, then it says Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes.

Isn't it for only debranding and flashing mobiles.As written on their site.
After using it will I be able to use all simcard.as they say
"unlocking is NOT supported by WotanClient software!"
Maybe they have changed terms or something, it worked on smokerman. Try to send PM on how he did to unlock network on his unit.
What's the best way to unlock the bootloader? And am I able to relock it again in case I need it to send for repair?,

If you unlock the bootloader by that method you dont really need to relock it, unless its for warranty purposes. The reason is because you dont loose DRM, so you can still OTA update and SUS update. If you unlock the bootloader by the dev.sony.com way then yes you will need to relock your bootloader, to be able to update via SUS and OTA.

I used flashtool, it more easy.

i have looked round for the answer myself, there seems to be alot of threads on this, all of them say no you can not unlock it unless using a payed method such as wotanserver also you most probably will need to sim unlock first, i think that then changes the status, well thats what i have read has happened to some, and a little something else the fw is the number such as 2.3.4 or 4.0.4, and the build number is the 4.1.b.431.
If you unlock it for any network using wotanserver it will unlock the bootloader aswell, I used them and it was fairly easy.

No, there is no way to flash JB on locked BL.
You can unlock the bootloader using Sony official tool/website for unlocking bl
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com
Before unlocking you can backup your TA partition, in case you wanted to give the phone to warranty. Later you can restore it - phone will be locked again and they will not know it was unlocked.

I dont think you should feel sad because of that. My bl can be unlocked, but after using custom kernel for 2days my phone became unusuable dur to extreme lags. That's why i stay with stock ROMS. They are good enough .
