You had simlock so probably don't have fastboot enabled. Contact sony and tell them to enable it
Ok, i tested flash the kernel, and flashed , i tested with Lupus Kernel
I was reading and said that there is a unlock bootloader that appear like you never unlocked.

If you aren't keeping your current device configuration (because of flashing another rom after unlocking bootloader or anything else) the simplest way to unlock is to flash stock 2.3.3 rom, root it and use the bl unlock plugin from latest flashtool
Hi guys, cause it was asked for, here is a how-to to unlock bootloader without reflashing a 2.1 firmware what means no need of reinstall your current rom after unlocking bootloader.
In the archive with the unlocking files take care about the following:
the semc bat is for x10i and x10a. But only if you haven't tried any simunlocking
the setool2 bat is for all those have simunlocked using the setool2
if you don't know it, or not sure about, have a look at the 2nd post, there you'll find a tool to test it.
for those doesn't fit any of those two critericas, don't try to unlock bootloader with this steps/files linked here
Things you need:
the bl unlock file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253277
Kernel up/downgrade for flashtool from here:
Kernel downgrade
Kernel upgrade
a custom kernel for unlocked bootloader to flash after you have unlocked it successfully
If you haven't all the listed things on your computer, then first downoad all neccessary files I have listed above before you go on with the guide how-to do it!!
Please make sure you have enabled usb-debugging in your current rom before starting with this!!
flash the azuzu kernel downgrade ftf with flashtool
disconnect usb cable, press power button until phone vibrates shortly and immidiatly connect the usb cable again (it is supposed to be stuck at SE logo)
start the batch file for unlocking bootloader, cause it says press any button before it starts, it won't start unlocking until you press any button
now wait until flashtool recognizes your x10 (if flashtool doesn't do anything, check third post please! thx)
close flashtool and then press any button in the cmd window that the unlocking process starts (please close flashtool, instead the bl unlock cmd and flashtool are constantly killing and restarting adb!!)
after unlocking is finish you have to flash azuzu kernel upgrade
now power on phone to check if the phone is starting after the unlock (if you are using a custom kernel yet with the bypass method and get stuck in a bootloop enter xrecovery and clear dalvik-cache, then your phone should boot up again fine)
If you aren't seeing the se logo at turning on phone, but directly the custom kernel logo, you were succesfully. If you want to enter xrecovery you have to spam the back button now if the xperia logo appears instead of the se logo.

TOOLS
For testing if you are ready for unlocking bootloader or not, use this tool:
s1tool.7z
If you can find semc simlock certificate in one of the last lines from the output, you can unlock your bl with the *semc.bat file
If you can find anything with setool2 in one of the last lines from the output, you can unlock your bl with the *setool2.bat file
If you can't find any of these two and see instead s.th. like unknown simlock certificate or similar, you can not unlock your bl. In this case, first simunlock your bl with setool2, then check again with s1tool.
s1tool can also relock your bl if you want to make use of your warranty.

Installing Flash-and adb drivers for x10 (!they where updated with the 2.3.3 update!)
1. open the drivers manager of your pc
2. connect phone in flashmode (without running any program like flashtool, seus or pccp)
3. check if there appears an unkown device, which wasn't there before (if not go on, if yes read under the line in this post further on)
4. no unknown device? Good
5. turn on phone and connect usb cable again and check again for unknown devices
_____________________________________________________________________________________
If there is an unknown device, download this archive (it contains the 2.3.3 adb and flash drivers)
1. In Flashmode is an unknown device: Go to the archive and install the ggsetup-2.2.0.11.exe file you find in there.
2. After turning on there is an unknown device: extract the archive and search with your pc's drivers manager manually in that folder for the drivers of the unkown device, then they should be installed.
3. Now check again like I described it above the line for unknown devices, if you can't see them now anymore, try again to unlock your bl.

Does this unlock my sim to use different networks? Or is this something that will now be possible at a later time without paying for it? At this point what are the advantages of doing this procedure?
What is the difference between bootloader unlocked/kernel
and bootloader locked/kernel?

No, it does not mean you can use any sim card. It means, you can flash different recoveries, ROMs, HBoots etc...
You are not judged to one ROM, simply put.

1. This only unlocks your bootloader, not your simlock
2. The advantages are:
that the custom kernel is loaded directly which is a more stable way to use the custom kernel
your phone is starting faster than with the bypass method cause you don't load se kernel, kill him and then load your own kernel, you load your own kernel directly
doom is testing it atm and then releaseing hopefully the kernel with inbuilt recovery, so if you for examply format system, recovery isn't deleted, cause it's inbuilt in kernel

da das ja doch ein ziemlich gefährliches unterfangen ist, wär es gut dass ganze howto in verschiedenen sprachen zu liefern.deutsch wär das beste für mich
cause this is a dangerous howto it´s good to translate it in different languages.so you can understand better.
flashed the azuzu kernel downgrade ftf with flashtool
- OK no problem
disconnected usb cable, pressed power button until phone vibrates shortly and immidiatly connected the usb cable again
- Ok no problem
started the batch file for unlocking bootloader, cause it says press any button before it starts
- started? you mean "start"? how do you start the file meflash.dll?

ROOTING
Android rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets, and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's subsystem.
As Android was derived from the Linux kernel, rooting an Android device is similar in practice to accessing administrative permissions on Linux.
In simple words you are allowed to change android system yourself according to your need like deleting apps, installing system apps, installing CWM recovery etc..
STEPS:
Check your phone software/firmware number by going to settings>about phone>build number
If you are on any GB firmware use flashtool guide in second post
If you are on ICS firmware (6.1.B.0.544 or 6.1.B.0.550 or 6.1.B.0.559) ,then
Download Rooting tool by Bin4ry from here
Extract it using 7zip/Winrar etc.
Double click the RunMe.bat and select 1. i.e normal phone option
Backup and restore app will open
Select RootMe.tar and click on restore
Follow instructions and bongo you are rooted :victory:
If you are on ICS firmware version (6.1.1.B.1.54 or 6.1.1.B.1.75), then
Download flashtool from official flashtool website
Install it on your PC using onscreen instructions.It will create a folder "Flashtool" in your drive(C\Flastool)
Now go to C\Flastool\drivers\flastool-drivers.exe and click on it and install it after marking/checking "xperia p,xperia u,xperia sola drivers" which is below there on the list
Download the file from here-
Now copy the files "Xperia P LT22_6.1.1.B.1.54_Kernel.ftf" , "Xperia P LT22_6.1.B.0.599_Kernel.ftf" and "Xperia P LT22_6.1.1.B.0.75_Kernel.ft and paste them in "C\Flastool\Firmwares" in PC.
Now keep "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry-XP" folder in the dekstop as it is.
Now for your SXP.Go to 'settings>developer options>USB Debugging">'mark/check this option
Open flashtool from PC.
Click on the "flash" icon of the flashtool which is on the left side of the iconic tab(below the 'file' option-it's like a lightning sign).a window will be opened Mode Selector.Check "FlashMode" and press "ok" button.
You will see "Xperia P LT22 version 6.1.B.0.599" on the options.single click on that .uncheck "exclude kernel" (on the right side) and check "no final verification" and press the "ok" button.
A window will be opened saying to connect your device.switch off your phone for 30 secs.now connect the USB cable to PC(not on your device).now press down the vol.down button and hold it while connecting the USB to your phone.[now the flashtool will start flashing.but if you are doing for the first time sometimes the drivers are not able to detect the drivers of your phone and the phone starts charging in a normal way instead of flashing.don't worry.Disconnect the USB from phone only.wait for 10-20 secs.repeat from step v again and then connect your device while pressing vol.down button.the flashtool will detect your device and start flashing.)
You will be able to see percentage below.after it is finished it will be written there.disconnect USB cable from your phone only after watching it.
Restart your phone.
Go to your dekstop on PC.open the "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry-XP" folder.
Click on "RunMe.bat" .a commend promt window will open on your PC.
now write only "1" (Normal Phone) in the "Make a choice" section
it should be like this.
Make a choice : 1 [Hit enter then]
It will promt to connect your device in debugging mode.Connect the USB to your phone with debugging mode turned on.now the Command Promt Window will do its work and it will say to you to open your "backup and restore" app.
Get your phone in your hand.open "app drawer>back up & restore" and hit the "restore" button.
The phone will be restarted in a while.
now you will see "super user" or "superSU" app on your app drawer.that means your phone is ROOTED successfully.
Restart your device again.(just for being safe)
Phone is rooted but the kernel is of previous version 6.1.B.0.599.So we have to reflash "6.1.1.B.1.54_Kernel.ftf" or 6.1.1.B.1.75_Kernel.ftf to the phone using Flashtool again.
Open flastool.watch step v and do the same.but select the "Xperia P LT22 version 6.1.1.B.1.54" or "6.1.1.B.1.75_Kernel.ftf"option instead of the previous ".599".now check and uncheck as the same before and flash your device pressing "ok" button.
Disconnect the phone.FINISHED.

Switch Off Your Device & Connect It To The Computer Using USB Cable While Enabling Fast Boot Mode (Press & Hold Volume Up Button To Trigger Fastboot Mode). Windows Will Start Driver Installation As soon As You’ll Connect Your Device To The Computer While Keeping It In Fastboot Mode.
When I get that part I get into fastboot, there is about 5 seconds and then immediately goes out, someone help me please

Did you install the fastboot, flashmode and xperia drivers from the drivers folder in the flashtool installation location?
If yes, then make sure you release the volume up key as soon as the led glows blue.

Flashing Custom ROMs
STEPS:
Download any Custom ROM for Xperia P. You can get a Index of ROMs, Kernels etc from here.
Do read instructions in the thread because every ROM may have a different requirement of Kernel and way of installing but basic idea is same.
Place your ROM i.e. xxx.zip file in your Root of SDCard (in internal storage)
Power off the device
Power on and repeatedly press volume down (-) button after SONY logo appears until you see the recovery
Now to clear cache scroll down to wipe cache partition and select it and scroll down to yes

Hello I'm stock rom 6.1.1.B.1.54 locked bootloader having some things unclear about this:
1. Can I flash custom ROMs wth locked bootloader? If not, what happens if I try to? Do I brickwall my phone? Is it recoverable?
2. Can I still flash other stock ROM (for example .75) with locked bootloader?
3. What's the difference between flashing custom ROM via CWM and via Flashtool?
4. Do I always before flashing new ROM have to clear data? Do this wipe all installed apps and settings?
5. If flashing new rom wipes everything, will I be able to restore all apps&settings from full Titanium backup?

Sorry for late reply :angel:
1. It depends upon the ROM you flashing.. Some ROMS need custom kernel i.e bootloader unlocked and some can run on stock kernel.. So check the ROM requirements before you flash it... If u flash ROM that requires unlocked bootloader and you flash it on locked bootloader you will end in a bootloop
2. Stock ROMS (stock based ROMS) can be flashed on locked bootloader
3.Flashtool will flash Orignal firmware (Stock firmware from sony) i.e ftf file... And through CWM you can flash ROMS i.e *.zip files
4. Yes it is recommended to clear data (it will delete all apps and settings)... But also check ROM installation procedure some may not require to clear data. If you are flashing stock firmware (ftf file) using flashtool you can uncheck wipe data to preserve you data.
5. Yes you can use titanium backup to backup and restore apps anytime on any ROM or firmware
Great, thanks for explaining

***********************
The detailed version of BL unlocking guideFollowing the announcement of the release of BL unlocking this week, some real fans said that the introduction of the unlocking process was not detailed enough, and the community king's night code word, today I will present you a detailed version of the BL unlocking guide and popular science!
One, three deadly questions
1. Do you know what is to unlock BootLoader and what is root authority?
If you don’t know, it is recommended that you do not unlock BootLoader, let alone root.
2. Will you use adb and fastboot? Will you use TWRP? Do you know how to do double-clearing, card swiping, etc.?
If not, it is recommended that you do not unlock BootLoader, let alone root.
3. What do you do after unlocking Bootloader & root?
If you don't even know what to do, I advise you not to try it with curiosity, and unlock it only for people who really need it.
The important thing is said three times, there are risks in playing the machine, and you need to be cautious when you refresh the machine. Read the notes for this post carefully. Please be at your own risk for serious consequences such as the phone's failure to turn on or data loss, and the official after-sales service can help you flash back the official firmware. (If the hardware of the phone is damaged due to flashing, do I need to send the phone for repair, and may need to pay for repairs)
Two, unlock preparation
1. Apply for a realme account
Apply for Portal → https://id.realme.com/index.html
2. Download and apply to unlock APK
Link: https://pan.baidu.com/s/1F7ZGGh9OmDoEhJmMPwO79w
Extraction code: h0xt
3. Install APK and apply for unlock qualification
After reading the risk warning carefully, wait for the official release of the unlocking authority (about 15 minutes), and you can check whether it has passed the review through the "Check review status" on the application interface. After issuing the unlocking authority, apply for the APP to write the relevant information into the system, and then the following unlocking operations can be performed.
4. Backup data
Before unlocking, you can back up personal data, open-Settings-Backup Settings-Other Settings-Backup and Restore, back up important data, and then copy the built-in storage Backup directory to the computer or mobile storage, anyway, don't put it in the operation On your mobile phone, you can also backup very important data such as contact call records, short messages, etc. to the cloud. After unlocking the BootLoader, you can restore the data by yourself after you perform the required gaming operations.
5. Mobile phone settings and data preparation
①Settings-About the phone-Tap the version number 5 times in a row-prompt the developer option has been opened;
②Settings-other settings-developer options-turn on OEM unlocking and USB debugging;
③Download adb & fastboot command:
https://developer.android.google.cn/studio/releases/platform-tools
●Download SDK Platform-Tools for Windows window operation
●Download SDK Platform-Tools for Mac Mac operation
●Download SDK Platform-Tools for Linux Linux operation
After the download is complete, restart the phone to enter Fastboot mode.
Three, unlocking process
1. Decompress the file just downloaded on the computer, open it, and put it in the C:Windows\System32 directory of the C drive, as shown in the figure;
2. Win+R open the cmd window, enter adb reboot bootloader / open the depth test APP, click to start the depth test (both methods are available);
3. When the phone restarts, you see DEVICE STATE: locked, indicating that the BootLoader is in a locked state at this time;
4. Start unlocking:
After connecting to the computer, enter fastboot flashing unlock or fastboot flashing unlock_critical in the computer cmd window
5. Ask if you want to unlock, use the volume key to select UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER to confirm the unlock, and select DO NOT UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER for "No" (it’s too late to regret at this time), and confirm with the power button;
6. At this time, the phone will restart and enter the recovery mode to format the data partition, and then automatically power on. Congratulations, the phone has been unlocked successfully.
Fourth, check the unlock status
1. Open the cmd window on Win+R, enter adb reboot bootloader /open the depth test APP, click to start the depth test; (both methods are available);
2. Enter Fastboot mode again, you can see DEVICE STATE: unlocked;
3. It means that BootLoader is unlocked at this time, and you can use fastboot flash [partition name] [file path] to flash the file;
4. Flashing TWRP into the player in FastBoot mode. Flashing twrp.img into the recovery partition. (twrp needs a competent person to compile);
5. fastboot flash recovery twrp.img;
6. Select recovery mode with the volume button, press the power button to confirm, and enter TWRP (recovery mode).
Five, lethal science
1. What is to unlock BootLoader?
BootLoader runs before the operating system kernel runs. It can initialize hardware devices and establish a memory space map, so as to bring the system's software and hardware environment to a suitable state, so as to prepare the correct environment for the final call of the operating system kernel. In embedded systems, there is usually no firmware program like BIOS, so the loading and starting tasks of the entire system are completely completed by BootLoader.
2. What is root authority?
Root authority means that the mobile phone has the highest authority. For example, the administrator of the computer can modify the mobile phone software and some functions of the mobile phone at will.
3. How to use adb and fastboot?
We don’t use much here:
adb reboot bootloader reboot into, bootloader mode
fastboot flashing unclock unlock bootloader mode
fastboot flash recovery xxx flash files to recovery partition or boot partition
fastboot flashing lock lock bootloader mode
4. How to use TWRP? How to perform double-clearing, card swiping and other flashing operations? What can I do after rooting?
①TWRP uses double clearing: Homepage->Clear->Slide to restore factory settings (this operation will delete files in your data partition except the built-in storage).
②Format Data: Homepage ->Clear ->Format Data ->Enter yes (this operation will clear all files in your data partition, including built-in storage.
③Card swiping: Homepage -> Installation -> Browse to the card swiping package you need, click and swipe to swipe in.
④Backup: Homepage -> Backup -> Select the partition you need to back up -> Slide backup.
⑤Restore: Homepage ->Restore ->Select the version to be restored ->Select the partition to be restored ->Slide to restore.
⑥Advanced: Homepage->Advanced->File Management; Homepage->Advanced->Terminal command line can enter terminal commands.
⑦After rooting, we can modify: software, user data, system, or flash into the three-party system. (Three-party system needs to be adapted)

Wow... Suitable for many variants of GT and GT Neo...
Are you sure you need a Realme account to make the In-Depth test apk work? I didn't create a Realme account for that purpose on my old Realme phone.
Seems a bit different now.
I'm concerned would the process inject any extra apks to the system, and how much information would that send to the company.
Btw, I've just checked, mine is GT Neo RMX3031_11_A.25
Not sure whether can use the script for A.19
This Realme GT is far more complicated than my previous oneplus models...
