Download XDA ROM HUB tool from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715277
It allows for easy BL unlock, root/unroot
Also rage is in my opinion very good with battery life.
You've got Rage for GB, ICS and CM7.2

nice. so i just simply download the application and unlock my bootloader by there?
no need to go to http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com and enter my email and imei and that ****?
edit: i have tried that program. i clicked on unlock bootloader it asked me to put my imei by typing *#06# then i typed it after i click UNLOCK MY BOOTLOADER. then it ask are you sure? i clicked yes. then my phone shut off and blue led notification comes out but i checked on my computer it says cant complete install or something.
what did i miss?

how to install the driver?
EDiT:
if you can't do it with ROM HUB:
connect phone in fastboot mode, open a cmd window and type fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
you should get some response. like 0.3. That's just confirming that your phone is connected properly.
after that, type fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY
KEY is your unlock key.

this is complicated
im now downloading and installing all the android sdk files.
everytime i go to fastboot mode. nothing happens
omg guys. could someone just simply give me the link of that drivers or whatever to install?
i have installed android sdk manager and follow this ****ing tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27376017&postcount=2
i already got my special key to unlock my bootloader.
but whenever i connet my phone to fastboot mode by switching off and switch on my phone to my pc using usb while holding volume up button. blue led appear. then nothing happens!
its supposed to do this next "You will be asked for drivers. Point to the usb_driver folder where you placed the android_winusb.inf-file, and select the Android Boot loader Interface-file.
Open command prompt, first enter this
Code:
cd C:\...\android-sdk\platform-tools
Replace C with the correct drive letter and ... with the path to the android-sdk folder. Next, enter this command
Code:
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY" bla bla bla but i have no options to do this whatever because nothing happens when my phone on fastboot mode.
seriously i can go ape**** doing this
check if you have adb installed.
go to device manager. when you connect your phone to PC, you should see "sony ericsson" appear, and under that adb.
open cmd window. go start> run type cmd> hit enter.
just type adb. if you get a listing, you have adb.
if not,
follow this: ADB for dummies
if your adb driver installed correctly then hold SHIFT + right click the fastboot folder and choose open command from here. Follow the tutorial and ull be unlocking your bootloader in no time.
im unable to post a link but you can also check youtube and search for unlocking bootlader xperia videos.
Ok
I just updated to ICS and so far loving the new custom roms available
Im a total nooby when it comes to this so i used WotanServer (google it) to upgrade my phone to ICS then changed used a custom kernal which was recommended for the custom firmware.
Some roms don't allow you to use other kernals so it really depends on the rom itself in my opinion.
So the thing i would recommend to do it:
upgrade to .62
use and download SE Bootloader Unlocking v1.6 by quangnhut123 (it's under Arrow
Xperia Mini & Mini Pro & Active Android Developloment)
Unlock bootloader, root your device
then i used a method to upgrade my device without loosing my root and then installed krsh kernal with a custom rom which support krsh kernal ..
Check if phone can be unlocked, type on Phone: *#*#7378423#*#*
If bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you’re able to unlock it, If it says No, or if the status is missing, then stop reading this and do root without bootloader unlock
Get your unlock code at sony website
Download Flashtool
Extract Fastboot.zip with 7zip
Enter Fastboot mode on phone, press menu button and you will see (Blue LED)
Press shift in and right click on Fastboot folder that you’ve extracted, click open command window here & type: [without quotes]
"fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version"
If you see java version then its working) if not, check drivers.
"fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY"
Replace KEY with unlock code

Skip Step 2 if you already installed Flashtool Drivers that install with Flashtool if you have installed it.
3- Download the latest twrp recovery from this link: https://dl.twrp.me/sirius/twrp-3.0.2-0-sirius.img.html
4- Move the twrp recovery that you have downloaded in step 3 to this Path C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
5- Download this kernel from this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwn7bAJ-USZjZzg0Q2I2RWlWa1U/view?pref=2&pli=1
6- Extract it then you will find boot.img take this file and move it too to this Path C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
7- put your phone in fastboot mode by this way >> (Power off your phone completely then wait for 10 second then press and hold the volume up then connect your phone to the computer with usb cable while you are pressing and holding the volume up then the led will change it's color to blue.. that is the fastboot mode)
8- Now go to the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder in that path (C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot) Press shift button from keyboard then press right click form mouse while pressing the shift button you will find an option [Open command window here] Press it.
9- In the command window write this command exactly: fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-sirius.img

How Can i Flash Android or factory reset or unlock bootloader
Sorry English not my first language .
Well, you need to do the following:
1- Download the firmware from here
then extract the file to get the "dload" folder.
2-Get sdcard and use card reader so your pc be able to read it as a flash stick.
3- copy "dload" folder to sdcard, then insert it into your device.
4- Get into the recovery mode,
by completely turning off your device, then press (Vlo. UP + power) buttons, wait the device vibs, release the power button and keep "vol. up" one, till you get into the recovery mode.
and from the list, chose "upgrade from sdcard" option (the last one), and your device will start re-installing the whole system again.

What did you do to get your device like that?
Generally you will find the IMEI of your device on label sticker comes with the device box, usually between the manual's pages.
Try this method to unlock the bootloader, it MIGHT work, i'm not sure, but give it a try
Get into fastboot mode (Vol. down + power) then
type this code:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock 1282022012246616

Not sure if you still have this thread in notification, but I'm having the exact same issue as the OP.
Model - S10-231u
IMEI: 863693023231929
S/N: K8D6R14B03000379
Hope you can calculate a code to unlock it, I'm ready to test or flash anything if you need me to do so.
I have the same problem and can not find a solution to it today so I hope you help
I unfortunately can not find the imei number
I have an SN number and a mac number
Either the device number S10-231w
I hope you can solve my friends
