Sure, because your IMEI was used for unlocking bootloader.

Hi friends,
I order neo V,why unlock boot loader not sony ericsson site?without cable apposite the laser and setool 2 ? simply procedure also mini only s1 tool?
Thanks a lot
I have no idea what you're talking about. The bootloader unlock site is unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com.
and you cannot relock bootloader to gain warranty back if you unlock it with that official site.
lol

Be quite obvious to them you have a patched loader.
Warranty goes either way (Which I think is pretty fair anyway).
I have a sony Live with walkman, i just bougth it. My question is, is it worth to unlock the bootloader? what does unlocking the bootloader actually does? And last how do you do it? :silly: Thanks in advance
with booloader unlocked you can put a custon kernel, for unlocked bootloader, search on this thread:Tutorials | Firmware | FAQ | First Aid

It allows you to put custom roms and custom kernels. It also voids your warranty.
If you phone is sim/network locked (in service menu it'll say something like: "Bootloader unlock allowed: No"), then you cant unlock bootloader unless you pay someone to unlock it with network unlock codes. Afterwards you can unlock it via offical (SE) or test-point method.
yes. subforums you try to check on development. there are many tutorials to unlock and root

Yes it is worth unlocking the bootloader. With an unlocked bootloader you can do almost anything with your phone.

Well that depends, it might have been worth for you, but for someone who likes stock rom and has no need or will to change it with custom rom (except few tweeks that can be done with root), it's probably best to keep it locked. I look at it as a pretty subjective thing. If losing warranty is not an issue and you want to go that extra mile, sure, unlock it.
hi
i just come from a cellphone repair shop(not operator) the guy told me that he can desimlock my lww for 12 euros but he don't know if bootloader will be unlocked so what do you think if i desimlock my phone the bootloader would be unloked?i dont need desimlock all i want is unlock my bootloader.
thank you very match any help would be very appreciated
If you want to unlock bootloader, there are two ways of doing it.
One is the official way, the other is via "testpoint" method.
Take a look at my guide (signature). It's a good place to start.
I think unlock Sim Certificate is also a good point for unlock bootloader. (Anyone correct me if I'm wrong)
If u want to unlock ur bootloader, this is official Method,

No, bootloader will remain locked
But I think desimlocking will turn Bootloader:yes ?
Not sure bro, Maybe u only have paid Methods
You have to pay some bucks to the network operator to do so...
And keep searching the forums

what method did you use to desimlock you're phone?
I used WotonServer
It cost 9.99€ and it gives 1 credit to remove simlock and 2 credits for updating phone.
Repair shops use this software so if you pay them to unlock your sim you are just paying them more money to do something you can do at home on your PC for cheaper.
is real ics lite 4 working for locked bootloader ??
Thanks

You can always use the paid method, even if it says "Bootloader allowed: no". Plus, since it unlocks your bootloader by testpoint, you don't lose the DRM and you can use PCC.
It'll cost you around $24 (there was an special $10 offer for all xperia devices, don't know if it's still available though)
Hello!
My ray's bootloader is unlocked via testpoint method and now i want to re-lock it as i need to give it to service center for softkey repair.
Is it possible?
Thanks. :fingers-crossed:
first google before posting here man, if you unlocked bootloader via offical method there is a way to unlock it but if you unlocked it using testpoint method the bootloader unlock allowed says yes so technically according to sony your bootloader is locked so there is no method to relock it if you unlocked it with this method
Hope i helped

Sorry brother i searched a lot but just found a way to relock it if you unlocked it via official method, so i made a thread.
I will ask to delete it as soon as i get the answer.
So should i give it to service center just after flashing the stock rom & kernel?
You sure there is no way to re-lock..
I'm afraid as why the RESTORE button is there in s1tool?
actually it's quite conflicting dude anyways check these threads out

Hi!
I've got a problem with unlocking my XPERIA U. It has Orange branded firmware, Android 2.3.7, and I'd like to change it to for example ICS. I wanted to unlock my bootloader, but I can see a message: Bootloader unlock allowed: No.
Is there any possibility to unlock it, or not? And why this phone has no possibility to do it?
Regards,
linoskoczek
Unlock = debrand? If yes, just flash stock ROM 1.54 or 1.75 with flashtool.
You can make branded ftf backup before flashing, just in case.
BTW why do u want to unlock bootloader?
Odp: [Q] Not possible to unlock phone - is there anyother method to do it?
No, you can't unlock your phone. Probably you have simlock and locked bl by operator(Orange). But you can flash fw without Orange apps etc. Just go to development section and download latest ICS fw.

Ahh that ****ty orange...
I've flashed it to ICS, but still unlocking is not possible. Anyway, do you think http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 will root the phone? It's just a one thing I can do without unlocking xperia.

I think the only thing you can't do in SXP with locked bootloader is flashing custom kernel. So, the answer is yes, you can root the phone without unlocking bootloader as well as e.g. install CWM recovery.
