To unlock your bootloader that says "Bootloader unlock allowed:yes", go to the official Sony site for get bootloader's codes, my recommendation is download last version of FlashTool and when you connect your device in flash mode (with phone off push "Back" button and plug usb cable) then you have a "Plugins" tab, go there and select "unlock bootloader" it shows you a window where you put your IMEI and the bootloader unlock code that you get of Sony official site, and flash tool will do the work for you.
If your bootloader says "Bootloades unlock allowed:no" and you have SIM lock, you can try http://www.fastgsm.com that offers now at cheapest prices for Xperia Neo SIM Unlocking and bootloader unlock in the same price, the unlock software is fully compatible with Windows 8.
I hope I helped, Good luck!!
it could not！

Hi,i got unlocked bootloader and how to update to ics using pc companion?
I hear that relock bootloader dosnt work and you cant get official rom after unlock bootloader
wysłane z commodore64
Did you unlock (official way at unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com) or patch (test point method) the bootloader?
Both ways, bootloader can be restored/relocked. I recently relocked mine, getting updates also.

Open the SE Tool and click Restore to relock the bootloader. Then you should be able to get the updates, if you couldn't earlier.

Dude, I have this overheating issue on my xperia mini, and the bootloader is unlocked. So I gave it in the service center, they said that the motherboard has a problem and they are going to replace it . I lost the DRM keys by unlocking the bootloader-
1. Will I get those DRM keys back once my motherboard is replaced?
2. Will the bootloader status be changed to locked again?

I can't answer that. You will get your answer if you get your phone back.
To previous post - Way too small photo, can't see. Neither can I see that option in Flashtool 0.7.1.0 on my PC.
I have unlocked my bootloader with Wotanserver... How can i relock the bootloader?

If you mobile get bricked, lock bootloader again
I was trying to unlock bl with the official mode but it fails everytime. In service menu it says bootloader unlock allowed: yes, but nothing works. I cant unlock with s1tool bcuz not recognized simlock certificate. What can I do?

Hey,
First of all, google this --> "bootloader unlock - freexperia" with quotes (unfortunately, I can't post links yet).
If you've done it this way and still doesn't work, then I assume there's a problem with your USB drivers or fastboot (try reinstalling).
I want to unlock bootloader, but the risk is my warranty...
I wish wait to expired first
I dont think its driver probl cuz fastboot devices command works.

Well, my friend, I unlocked it on my second month and didn't have the need to use my warranty in any way till now (8+ months)
Of course, it's your choice, but I was fascinated by the fact I could run Jelly Bean on my Neo V thanks to Freexperia Team, and haven't looked back since then!
Then again, I can't tell you what is best for your needs but I can assure you, Sony's warranty (and most smartphone's dealers in general) covers very few issues that might happen in realistic scenarios.

Judging from this, I understand that you got the unlock key from Sony's official website and the last command (fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY) fails.
Wild Guess: Any typos? confused "o" with "0" maybe.
Sorry I can't be more helpful, but for me it was harder to flash a rom for the first time than unlocking the bootloader :-/
Geri .... ^^ this or
I would say try again!
Though I got it unlocked in first try !
Do you get any response like
0.3 version
When you type the fastboot command in cmd?

for the getvar version, i got 0.3 and "fastboot devices" also identified it. and there arent typos cuz i tried everything.

If you get that,things are fine I guess!
I am clueless on this, then!
I don't even know why're you facing this issue when I did the same steps and succeeded at one go!

Euhm, originally it was simlocked to orange uk... a cellshop unlocked it somehow... I think its bcuz this.

Oh! I too feel the same!
Seems you'll have to SIM unlock it via unofficial way!
Then try this or else go for s2tool!

Hi, iam new to Sony but did have htc wildfire I've rooted and overclocked, iam about to root Sony Xperia mini but I've noticed someone say theres 2 different methods depending on your bootloader I've done that *# code and checked it says yes so what iam wondering and wanting to find out is how to check the bootloader is locked or unlocked, iam on .62 software iam looking to downgrade, root then update, any help would be appreciated thanks
Sent from my ST15i using xda app-developers app
Connect it to flashtool and look at the Bootloader Status: ROOTED or ROOTABLE. ROOTED means the bootloader is unlocked
Or you type *#*#7378423#*#* and go to service info -> configuration -> rooting status:
bootloader unlocked: yes [obviously it's unlocked ]
bootloader unlock allowed: yes [unlockable]
bootloader unlock allowed: no [not unlockable, only with a paid method]
Ok thank you, iam sure its locked and with *# I get yes so that means its unlockable, all I wanna do is delete standard apps that come on phone. So should I use and follow your method for locked bootloader? Do I just flash straight over the .62, thanks
Sent from my ST15i using xda app-developers app
Sorry also where u say
MAKE SURE PC COMPANION OR SONY UPDATE SERVICE ISN'T RUNNING IN BACKGROUND WHILE YOU ARE FLASHING!!! DON'T USE THIS METHOD IF YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED, OTHERWISE YOUR DEVICE WILL BRICK!! (Unlocked bootloader can't do updates over the air, but flashing won't destroy your phone on unlocked bootloader!)
Is that on pc? Thanks
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Yes this is on PC
Yes just follow the guide to root it and afterwards you can delete all unwanted apps :good:

I have a x10 running 2.3.3 official firmware.
I have rooted it.
So have I unlocked the bootloader?
If no,how to unlock it??
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
Rooting is not part of unlocking bootloader. Check first by dialing *#*#7378523#*#* and if bootloader says YES then you can unlock it. But if you are locked in a specific carrier then you need to unlock your sim first then proceed to unlocking bootloader. Check the development thread and look for proper bypass for bootloader unlocking.
