how to unlock and root the Sony xperia s - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hey Guys,
I would like to root my Sony xperia s but when going into the service menu and selecting root where it says 'Bootloader unlocking allowed' it says no.
Is there anyway to do it and if so could I have a guide, this would help me and alot of other people.

You can also wait till the Sony s1 signature server is online and pay someone to do a full csca unlock. That it's what I'm waiting for. Just to change the unlockable bootloader status to ' yes'

So, who can close this issue with the solution

Bootloader unlock allowed: no

when i check *#*# code7378423#*#*
in service menu
Bootloader unlock allowed no
what should i do???
i need to unlock my bootloader
please pelp
get an unlock code from your network provider, some people have said that once they removed the simlock its let them unlock the bootloader. if that doesnt work then theres not much you can do untill someone works out another way to unlock it
no fastboot mode.
Theres only one solution I know of, and it may be a crazy one....
Use search first, and read the other 500 threads created on this topic ;-)
Short answer: No, not able to be done yet.

If you want to unlock the boot loader, use the wotanserver.com
* In addition to sim unlock you get an unlocked bootloader.
However, it seems to me that at the moment, this service does not support SXS
Try to write the administration service.

= the post above was completely unnecessary as it does *NOT* provide a way of unlockning bootloader for SXS.

What is a "rootable bootloader"?
For the Croatian members:
I've just called customer service of Vipnet( Vodafone) and they told me that there is no problem, you can unlock boot loader for only 480 HRK (~65€).
Well, if there's no free unlocking solution in few weeks I'll have to milk some cash. It's still better then locked for life.

Pay more for a phone that's SIM-Free and not subsidized by a network. That is the only way.
guys, try the ezSEMC. it's realy working, but it's paid.
I'm not seller. I used it on my acro hd and i'd got the bootloader unlock allowed: yes.
What about U/P/Sola

Just getting rid of simlock will not help. Fastboot still needs to be enabled, can only be done via paid testpoint method.
yes my ray was =no and unlocked via paid methored wotan server it was 13 euros

Yes, they can be unlocked. Actually it is the only way to remove SIM-lock (and unlock bootloader at the same time), if I am not mistaken.

Bootloader!

If we are talking about a Samsung phone, then you are in the wrong section of the forum.

Is unlocking bootloader is the same as unlock sim? because I want to unlock it from one service so I can put any sim card in.

Nope, for sim unlock you need to go to your service or pay to online service that will give you code and instructions how to unlock it..
