First, you need to unlock bootloader..

no i havent unlocked my bootloader or sim lock and such.
im more than happy if you tell me the step by step
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
there's instructions here, the first page covers service menu and whether the bootloader can be unlocked for your phone. You can check the simlock in the same service menu.
The development stuff that they said to download was missing fastboot.exe so I hopefully attached that along with the drivers.
If you can and do unlock it, then it's time to worry about how to flash a new kernel

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.

Yea, it is basically the same as you would go yourself through the guide on unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com.
Hi,
I have a WT19i with Three UK.. *yada yada*
I got this phone because I wanted something new that looks good and works well, Since February and now I have discovered - I don't like the UI and I can't stand the screen.
Basically all I'm looking to do is unlock my bootloader so I can flash MIUI or CM9 but apparently, Three aren't going to let me unlock it. I checked in the service menu and it shows that the bootloader unlock is not allowed which really sucks.
I was going to do the testpoint method or official but after reading up, testpoint on a phone with 'Bootloader unlock allowed: No' can brick it..
Does anyone know if this is true? I'm seriously considering trying it anyway with S1 boot of whatever.. I can't stand this stupid software and UI anymore.
Thanks!
You need to use paid method to unlock your phone and enable fastboot. After that can bootloader be unlocked.

@Someguyfromhell You mean network unlock? I paid for my phone to be unlocked by Three last Saturday but they still don't have the key yet They said hopefully this Saturday
After that should I be able to unlock the bootloader?

Incorrect if done with code at the operator.
Only WotanServer, Omnius and these providers unlock both(at once I think, not sure).
To install custom ROM, install the custom kernel provided with the ROM, enter recovery and install the ROM.
Kernel installation is included in my tutorial, link in signature.

So will I have to unlock my bootloader some other way?
Installing kernels is just using the boot.img in the roms .zip through fastboot isn't it? Done it before on my old GT540 many times What command is it on the LWW?
I used to use flash boot boot.img?
Thanks

Yes, but if you had network lock you might have to enable fastboot also. Check it from service menu. Then you can unlock bootloader. Also in my tutorial.
Command ia "fastboot flash boot boot.img".

Hey!
I just got my unlock code! But my phone still says 'Bootloader Unlock Allowed:NO'
I might just do it through Omnius now.. Going to assemble a safety pin and wire!
Will tell you how it goes.
Nope.. Omnius won't work for me
Does anyone have any other idea to activate fastboot? Could I flash another stock generic rom?

ROM has nothing to do with fastboot.
Omnius did not work? What do you mean it didn't work?

Yeah I know that... But the Kernel does, And flashing another stock .62 or whatever should work?!
Omnius wouldn't detect the phone, It wouldn't go into testpoint mode

Yeah! haha.

I can't tell, It should be unlocked if the version is r and not R?
My version from Omnius identify is r9A021
Is there any other way I can tell?
Anyone know how to enable Fastboot?!

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)

Need to know more about your phone. In order to unlock bootloader your phone must to be factory unlocked. If so you can get steps from sony they will provide you a unlock code for the bootloader unlock process. If your phone is carrier locked you need to unlock your phone first and then you only can unlock the bootloader through special tools using sites like omnius.
