yes!
auto sync is on..
the problem is that sonymobile never actually sent any emails containing boot unlock code to me.
i tried two email ids..
no use at all..

This topic has been covered before.
I have moved it to the General section and closed it.
I did NOT delete it due to the pretty screenshots in the OP, that others liked to fully quote
