I just brought ZU yesterday.
How do I know my ZU was locked bootloader. Or it was locked by stock in every unit.
And where can I find a guide to unlock bootloader.

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

Sure, because your IMEI was used for unlocking bootloader.

Hi im new to the x10 community and i have aquestion regarding the boot loader. Ok so first i got an x10 recently from japan (s0-01b) that was locked to docomo. So i had its network unlocked from one of the cellphone repair shops here. Now im trying to unlock the bootloader but in s1tool it says did not recognize sim lock certificate but its unlocked. So my question is:
1. Can i still unlock my bootloader safely?
2. So im such a hard headed person and i proceeeded with the bl unlock anyways, can i still relock my bootloader so that the problems go away?
3. Is there another way to unlock my bootloader safley??
Thanks guys for your answers )

Read and be careful, because your phone is already sim-unlocked by unknown software.
If you not sure about it leave it locked. There are good custom Roms and kernels for locked bootloader like DonutHD 2.2.9 Rom, and ThJap th5-1 kernel.

Just first Root your phone with Flashtool (download and install on PC from herehttp://androxyde.github.com/index.html?1353430259000
And install Xrecovery on your phone also with Flashtool.
Guide how to do that things read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19684846&postcount=2
And in for unlocking the bootloader choose the one that is for those whose phone has been debranded or it was unlocked in the past
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

From what I know, unlocked bootloader means, X-Reality no longer works and OTA updates will not install.

You can always downgrade to .532 and root from there, then back up the TA, then unlock the bootloader. The TA will allow you to restore the DRM keys and Xreality when you relock the bootloader
Read my guide on downgrading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593918
and then read lordmanhatton's guide for root etc http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2569904

just use the one kinked in my guide, it has been made for the purpose of downgrading from 290 to 532 and keeping the phone in a functioning state.
You dont need to flash a German ftf when upgrading either, just a generic or CE/EU will do fine unless there are some must have German only Sony app
