I would like to Unlock my Bootloader, but I'm simlocked, so I have BL Unlock Allowed = NO
If I ask my carrier to simunlock my phone, my BL Unlock Allowed will turn to YES ? And I'll be able to unlock normally on the website? Or are there special steps for me?
Or I simply can't unlock my phone at all?
Thanks in advance
Sim unlock has nothing to do wid bootloader unlocking
Unfortunately ur xperia will have a locked bootloader till it lives

Hello all Xperia Ray users and developers, I have a question on how to unlock my bootloader if im not allowed to do that.
1. My phone says that bootloader unlock is not allowed, my phone is locked to Three, what are im gonna do? Is there any other way to unlock it?
2. Is there any roms for Rays that have locked bootloaders?
Sorry if this question have been asked before, but I didnt find anything about this.

1. unlock from Three, then you can unlock bootloader, there's no other way
2. no, only official roms (GB or ICS)
Mine problem was this but i didn't have it sim locked. Your rooting status says that bootloader unlock is not allowed. So there is a way but it costs money to get it unlocked. Its paid, you cant get it free. So on wotanserver.com it 15 euro. And mine was unlocked by Jinx13(add him to skype). His fee is 15 gbp. Your choice. Its done competly remotly so you probably can unlock it is tonight. Pay pal is preferred

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)

You need to dial this *#*#7378423#*#* Then go to Service info>Configuration then read Bootloader unlock allowed, it will say yes or no, if yours says no you cant unlock your bootloader even if you have sim unlock.

I though you could unlock the bootloader if you didnt have a sim-locked phone. So what/who dictates whether or not a phone can be bootloader unlocked then?
Its unrelated to simlock, but your carrier is the one who made it un-unlockable. Its a shame unfortunately many of us are in your boat

Xperia RAY
Currently running Gingerbread 2.3.4
My phone is locked to the network o2UK and the bootloader is set to LOCKED
I've tried to unlock the bootloader but in the services menu it says 'Bootloader unlock allowed: NO'
My question is, how would i get the bootloader unlocked or are there any 'work arounds' to get root
Thanks!
okay, first... rooting n unlocking bootloader isn't same... root can be done to locked, unlocked, bootloader status : no and bootloader status : yes...

Yes, and in the time it took to write your thread you could have found them by googling or browsing the general section.

is anyone working on unlocking this device. my network won't let me unlock it and i don't want to use a website to unlock. i need to unlock it to use a different sim card and unlock bootloader for cm11 and other rom.
For the sim card I believe you need the assistance of a 'website' (although I dont know if they actually work)
Or your network provider.
Who are you with?
As for the bootloader, head over to this website to unlock your bootloader with sony.
Note that it will probably void your warranty.
... Ok scratch that I cant post links

Sony unlock Bootloader.

the bootloader allowed is set to no, so i presume i have to unlock the phone before it will allow me to unlock bootloader. how come no one is working on to unlock this phone?
Unlockinh the bootloader is unrelated to network unlocking the phone, as far as I know. But unlocking the bootloader will allow you to network unlock your phone by flashing a custom ROM i think, so I guess they kind of are related. I think you need to talk to your network provider first. That'll help. Otherwise
Try rooting it and go from there. If you can

If your bootloader allowed status is set to "no" you can't unlock your bootloader

we've got good devs here, i hope they are willing to help us
If a problem doesn't affect a dev, it is not his problem, devs also have their private life /job. Thats why a gratifocation might help (as amply as our pockets can afford it)
