So I have some problems with unlocking Xperia GO, Root it , and update it.
Does unlocking requires root?
As far as I know, unlocking bootloader doesn't require root. Data partition will be erased

Is unlocking bootloader is the same as unlock sim? because I want to unlock it from one service so I can put any sim card in.

Nope, for sim unlock you need to go to your service or pay to online service that will give you code and instructions how to unlock it..

But have unlocked my Samsung Galaxy mini by myself.
There should be a way to do it on Xperia GO.

Hi, new here .
Quick question; has anyone successfully unlocked their XMP with the Wotanserver client? I want to make sure they're reputable and trustworthy before I hand over ~£13. As far as I understand, this is the easiest way to remove a carrier-lock (and no free way exists).
This is mainly so I can then unlock the bootloader and install custom kernels.
Thanks!
I have read from somewhere, that they have unlocked their Xperia with WotanServer and it succeeded. Can't remember, which topic it was....Try searching.
if they use a test point method then you can be almost sure it will work well.
I have unlocked 2 both went without a problem

But, does it give you fastboot? (To flash new kernels)

He needs to remove network-lock, which can be done via WotanServer.

It can be wotan server or omnius or setool but by my own experience if the server uses the test point method there will be no prob and maybe even will left the bootloader unlock.
You can unlock the sim using test point or imei code. So i don't know if wotanserver uses test point as i don't know if the imei method will unlock the fastboot mode that is why i made a comment about the method.

Yes, it does because unlocks bootloader too..
Ok thanks for the replies .
So basically I need to find out from them what method they use (not sure if they'll tell me that :S) and ask if I can unlock the bootloader as a result of using their tool - or if their tool unlocks the bootloader as well.
I'll post here when I get an answer .

dude, to unlock from wotan server, you use the test point method.. And when o unlock your phone from network, it will unlock bootloader too, so you don't have to worry with that anymore... btw, after unlock your phone, don't do officials updates from sony, it will brick your phone..

Ok thanks, I guess I'll go ahead with this then.
Just to clarify on your last point; it's the bootloader unlock which won't play nice with sony updates, right? So if I want to use an official update in the future I can just re-lock the bootloader but keep the network unlocked?

From what we know at the moment, yes it is so.
Not much people have network locked phone, so we don't have much information.
And yes, unlocked bootloader will not let Sony updates to be installed.
when i check *#*# code7378423#*#*
in service menu
Bootloader unlock allowed no
what should i do???
i need to unlock my bootloader
please pelp
get an unlock code from your network provider, some people have said that once they removed the simlock its let them unlock the bootloader. if that doesnt work then theres not much you can do untill someone works out another way to unlock it
no fastboot mode.
Theres only one solution I know of, and it may be a crazy one....
Use search first, and read the other 500 threads created on this topic ;-)
Short answer: No, not able to be done yet.

If you want to unlock the boot loader, use the wotanserver.com
* In addition to sim unlock you get an unlocked bootloader.
However, it seems to me that at the moment, this service does not support SXS
Try to write the administration service.

= the post above was completely unnecessary as it does *NOT* provide a way of unlockning bootloader for SXS.

What is a "rootable bootloader"?
For the Croatian members:
I've just called customer service of Vipnet( Vodafone) and they told me that there is no problem, you can unlock boot loader for only 480 HRK (~65€).
Well, if there's no free unlocking solution in few weeks I'll have to milk some cash. It's still better then locked for life.

Pay more for a phone that's SIM-Free and not subsidized by a network. That is the only way.
guys, try the ezSEMC. it's realy working, but it's paid.
I'm not seller. I used it on my acro hd and i'd got the bootloader unlock allowed: yes.
What about U/P/Sola

Hey Guys,
I would like to root my Sony xperia s but when going into the service menu and selecting root where it says 'Bootloader unlocking allowed' it says no.
Is there anyway to do it and if so could I have a guide, this would help me and alot of other people.

You can also wait till the Sony s1 signature server is online and pay someone to do a full csca unlock. That it's what I'm waiting for. Just to change the unlockable bootloader status to ' yes'

I do have the same situation. My Xperia S is locked and it can't be unlocked. I tried with many sites to get Unlock code. unfortunately, all have the same answer. unable to unlock it. :crying:
So, who can close this issue with the solution
I really like them but I cannot unlock my bootloader. So is it possible?
You can unlock your bootloader using Wotanserver
It costs 5€ now.

Mine is 12w14 unlocked via official method since test point method is not working

Hey guys, i just sim-unlocked my phone, they gave me the unlocking code, i put in another sim card and unlocked it, but it still says bootloader unlock allowed: no!!! why is that? I was so happy until i saw that
