took from sony bl unlock site:
-open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#*
-tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked. maybe then u can use the testpoint method, nut i have no xperience with this... so better you read carefully the ''unlock by testpoint method'' thread found in general forum

i guess ur bootloader is not unlocked .... anyway kernl flash by fastboot should be no problem.. (if u really unlocked)
did u type in that code into dialer & looked if u are bootloader unlock allowed??? (this is the first thing u should do instead asking if it has sth to do with simlock, lol)
and press the thx button instead saying it :3

But s1tool showed that I have unlocked the bootloader, or may be it's because my operator blocks the fastboot?
Guys, the guy in the shop told me that the simlock unlock, unlock fastboot. Is this true?

Hello
I currently own an Xperia Live with walkman which I upgraded to 4.0.4 ICS and rooted.
I'm interested on using custom ROMs so I need to unlock the phone's bootloader in order to install custom kernels.
In the service menu of the phone, rooting status says:
Bootloader unlock allowed: NO
I've read on other threads that this means that the phone also has a network lock, so even if I use the test point method to unlock, I won't be able to use fastboot mode.
However on the SIMLOCK menu of the service menu, all locks are disabled (And I confirmed it by installing another sim from a different phone company).
¿How can I unlock the bootloader (for free, hopefully), and will it work on fastboot mode?
I would advise you to try and go to fastmode connecting the phone to the computer while off and holding the volume up key, the notification led should turn on blue that means that you will have no problem flashing custom kernels but you will need to unlock the bootloader using the test point method.
Also you can double check if the boot loader is really locked in the service menu, software info, under the s1 Boot Version you will find something like this: 1241-3656 r9A029 the letter "r" here refers to the state of the bootloader the lower case means it's unlock meanwhile the capital "R" means its locked.

So, I will never be able to use fastboot?
Even if I unlock the bootloader through test points or the paid method?
Normally, you'd have to unlock it via Wotan Server. It erases SIM lock and unlocks bootloader. Don't know why your phone is already SIM unlocked, though.
Hi,
I have same problem, Bootloader unlock allowed: NO
On every test point tutorial I saw "if Bootloader unlock allowed: YES, than you can continue doing TP".
I want to unlock it, so I can flash CM9.
Can I still use TP to unlock my bootloader?
No, bootloader cannot be unlocked if fastboot is disabled.
The only way to enable fastboot right now is via paid method, which also uses the test point method. I am not sure, but I have heard that in some cases, that method unlocks the bootloader aswell.
So, no custom ROMs for me
So what's the verdict here?
Even though on my LWW I have Bootloader unlock allowed: NO I did the testpoint method to unlock the bootloader and it passed. Afterwards I have S1 Boot Version: r9A021 (notice the r) which means the bootloader is unlocked AFAIK. However I still have no access to fastboot. I can confirm that the phone is simlocked, and before having to pay to get it simunlocked, I want to make sure that doing so will finally enable fastboot.
Again, will having the phone sim-unlocked enable the bootloader to be unlocked, and more importantly gain access to fastboot?

Yes, the bootloader is unlocked, but fastboot is still disabled and phone SIM-locked. The only way to enable fastboot is via paid method.

That's exactly what I am asking. If the phone gets sim-unlocked, does that mean that fastboot will be enabled? What paid method are you referring to? Sim-unlock code? Or is there some other paid method?
Or to put it in better writing, what paid method is there to enable fastboot?

The paid-method is technically you go to your service provider,and ask them for an unlock code for your phone.Normally,you need to pay,but if you are lucky,they can give an unlock code for free :good:
The method to sim-unlock your phone (based on my reading in this forum ) is insert other SIM card that are different carrier,and turn on your phone.There will be a checkpoint which your phone asking for a code,at that time you insert the code that your service provider gave you,and after you enter the code,your phone will automatically sim-unlocked :highfive:
I'm sorry if some of my information is misleading,I hope someone can fix my mistake (if any though)
Or try this,who knows it might work?

I'm planing to buy an unlock code, just want to make sure that by simunlocking it will enable fastboot.
Only wanted to know if anyone knows that it is certain, because i have no need for simunlock other than enabling fastboot so I can flash kernels

I unlocked the sk17i of my son with another simcard and the code from my provider but... bootloader is still NOT allowed
Have you tried the testpoint method to unlock the bootloader?
Unlocking bootloader and sim unlocking both do separate things, but I'm hoping simunlocking + testpoint method will finally enable fastboot.
I'll purchase a simunlock code and post if that helps with enabling fastboot asap.

That's is called sim unlock,and it is used to unlock the phone to use other sim card provider...it also unlock fastboot in your son's phone
Well,the bootloader still can be unlock,see my previous post

I had the same problem and Unlocked with NO PROBLEM....

Ok thanks guys you mean we can unlock bootloader even if it's written "not allowed" on *#*#7378423#*#* after simunlock

Hi,
i just bought single unlock licence for omnius and tried several times to unlock my sk17i and always stuck on "waiting for loader response"!can somebody explain step by step how to do please i cannot wait anymore to flash custom kernels and roms!
thanks in advance!!
don't use Omnius, use SE bootloader unlocking relocking, download it.
1)open SE Bootloader_Unlocking_Relocking.exe
2)in your phone digit: *#06# and copy your IMEI
3)paste the IMEI in the SE Bootloader_Unlocking_Relocking.exe apposite space and click on: Get Unlock Code
3)turn off your phone,and connect in to your pc in fastboot mode(press volume up when you connect it
4)click Unlock BL,
4 link write me on private message
im not allowed to do that because of branded phone
i have the xperia mini pro sk17i, i have done this metod and my phone works perfectly
in service menu i got bootloader unlock allowed:NO...its sim locked branded xmp
have you done everything what i writed?
i can't get into fasboot it's locked
fastboot can't be locked, maybe you haven't got installed fastboot drivers on your pc

Fastboot is disabled on SIM-locked and/or branded phones. Only way to enable it is via paid method.
Hi everyone,
I have been trying to unlock the bootloader of my SE MT11i and I can't seem to do it, I continually see bootloader unlock allowed: no
in the phone config. I am wondering if I have any options but to purchase a new phone?
11W49 - year and week code
Methods tried
- s1tool and testpoint (using both the ground near the battery, and the ground on the testpoint section) it runs the unlock =>
SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE, PROCEEDING
FINISHED
Elapsed:14 secs.
but when I enter the *#*#737... code I still see the bootloader unlock allowed: no
- fastboot with SE code
Are there any other options? Should I try Omnius or something like that? Will that allow me to unlock the bootloader?
Thanks for any advice you can offer folks.

I have sim lock and locked bootloader and afik there is no "home" method to unlock if in service menu bootloader unlock allowed= no. Unless something changed lately and i mised something

I really think it can be done using the omnius, I just want to be sure before I purchase the product.

Hello to all! I have a Sony Live With Walkman that says, "unlock bootloader allow: No". Well the release by IMEI unlock code I have, and I'm released, the problem is that it still says "bootloader unlock allow: not 'there a way to unlock the bootloader?? The date of manufacture is 12w32
Excuse my English is not very good. Thank you very much!
IMEI unlock via code, dont unlock your bootloader, you need to unlock IMEI via test point method.

check bootloader unlock status.
In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue if it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.
I think your bootloader cannot be unlocked.There is someway to unlock that type of bootloader but i cant remember now.Search it and reply please
But he says again. So I guess he had unlocked it then relocked it and now wants to unlock it again.

Check on another computer.
Request unlock token again from Sony. It might have been corrupted.
Close antivirus software.
All of these
When you go to the service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*) and check the bootloader status, does it say "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes" or does it say "Bootloader unlocked: Yes"?
If it is the second one it is already unlocked, and that's the only reason I can see it keep failing.

You need to try ;
-Try in another pc
-Connect phone to other usb port
-Reinstall adb and flashtool drivers
-Try with flashtool
We have tried plenty of ways around this today and can't figure out reason why it has done this
