no
sim and bootloader are very different
most bootloaders from cariers are encrypted meaning they are not unlockable no matter what you do

I am kinda confused about the bootloader. So do you need to have an unlocked phone to unlock the bootloader? Because I'm a little afraid to do it because of the loss of radio signal! Please help
and i checked on that tool thats supposed to check if you can unlock the bootloader and and it said ready. My phone is not unlocked from the carrier.

If your phone isn't unlocked then you can use the SEMC_qd8250.zip to method to unlock your boot loader, but you can always use the SIM certificate check tool in the dev thread to check if what SIM certificate your phone has, post the tool in a second.

i have looked round for the answer myself, there seems to be alot of threads on this, all of them say no you can not unlock it unless using a payed method such as wotanserver also you most probably will need to sim unlock first, i think that then changes the status, well thats what i have read has happened to some, and a little something else the fw is the number such as 2.3.4 or 4.0.4, and the build number is the 4.1.b.431.
If you unlock it for any network using wotanserver it will unlock the bootloader aswell, I used them and it was fairly easy.

Hey everyone
I need a quick phone to last me a few months till my upgrade and the Neo V seems like a good deal, brand new for £70.
Now I never buy an android phone unless the bootloader can be unlocked. I understand that phones made after 12w14 cannot be unlocked or something? If the phone is made after 12w14 is there really no way to unlock it? It will be sim locked and I know it's necessary to unlock it to allow fastboot.
Basically can phones made after 12w14 be sim and bootloader unlocked?
Thanks

So if the boot loader unlock status says no, will sim unlocking it allow me to use the official unlock method ?

If you buy your phone brand new from an 'open' store than your phone should be sim unlocked.

If you want to know whether you can unlock your phone or not, here is an excerpt from Sony's forum.
1.First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
2.In your phone, 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.

Thanks but the phone will almost certainly be locked to T-Mobile.
What I need to know is, if the manufacturing date is past 12w14 is there a way for me to sim unlock and then unlock the boot loader ?

If I'm not mistaken, there is but you've to pay for it as your status says :No
You may use SeTool2
Or Wotanclient for doing so

Does the Xperia Z2 from GSM-nation has locked or unlocked Bootloader? If yes, I can go ahead and root it directly?
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
First things first, no Xperia phone comes with an UNLOCKED bootloader, they come with UNLOCKABLE/NOT UNLOCKABLE bootloaders. If it IS unlockable then head to Sony's bootloader unlocking site, and follow the provided instructions. You can find out whether it's unlockable or not by going into dialer and typing *#*#7378423#*#* (*#*#SERVICE#*#* in T9) > service info > configuration

Thank you so much for clear instructions and prompt response.
