As far as I know, verizon has the bootloader locked... Im in the same boat with bell.
Easy enough to check... Copy and paste this in your phone to access service menu
*#*#7378423#*#*
configuration > rooting status > bootloader unlocked allowed: yes or no
no =(

Hi guys!
I want to root my device, but as far as I know, the only way to root is to unlock the bootloader.
So I checked if I could unlock my bootloader by checking in Configuration in Service info:
Rooting status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: No
What do I do now to root my lovely and one-day old Xperia S?
Thanks!

Why you guys are so reluctant to take some time to read the forum?
There are numerous threads around saying it's not possible at the moment!
I found a guide in this page http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119 maybe with a modified kernel of the Xperia S and following the steps, you can root with locked bootloader, is this possible???
Need help!!!!!
Thanks.....
Currently impossible.
Only Xperia's 2012 line are in this situation.
ANY OTHER PHONES! All have options to root even Motorola with permanently locked bootlaoder
I have Xperia S with locked bootloader without possibility unlock it <yet> by the operator (Orange PL)

but this i getting error.

help me...
Root and bootloader are two distinct things. Unlocked bootloader allows you to change kernel, while root is the ability to pass certain system restrictions.
What are you trying to do? un-root your phone or relock bootloader? I think the fiorst since i doubt you unlocked your BL, in that case just flash the stock ftf for your phone

First, ur firmware version cant be rooted (need to downgrade to .58) with that tool.
Second, that tool is for rooting, not to unlock ur bootloader.
Third, "unlock bootloader allowed: yes" means u can unlock it, doesnt mean it already unlocked or rooted.
U have a lot misunderstanding man. Learn more...

@chepoz thanks now i understand a little.
if u have wt19i or any other android device than i want to know is rooting is really a necessary for hiding app icon from launcher.
i m not so tech person
or what r the risk in after rooting the phone
unlock bootloader allowed: yes is this due to script which was i run on manufacturer permission
becaz i afraid about my warranty.
There are no risks in rooting your phone, as that merely allows for certain apps to run certain functions (it all depends on what you do with those apps, i.e if you overclock or undervolt wrongly using apps for this you might fry your phone)
It is not due to the script, some devices can unlock bootloader thorugh sony official method (those marked bootloader allowed yes), if it says bootloader allowed No one would have to use testpoint or wotan server method if this doesn't work
Rooting does not void warranty, unlocking bootloader does.
Hello, I am the owner of a SE LwW I had used it for a while running on some locked bootloader roms, a few years had passed now and I wonder if there's a method to unlock bootloader on new security devices (Above 12w13 I think) and of course my device says "Rooting status allowed: No".

So your phone cant Root with current rom
Upgrade to latest version of ROM by Sony Companion..
Then recheck Rooting status
I've been searching lately for a bootloader unlocking service for SE LWW, found a few places which offers unlocking, but none of them are capable of unlocking phones manufactured after 12W11.
I have unlocked bootloader. After I upgrade to 4.4.4 by flashing a ftf file do my ZU is still unlocked? How do I check for unlock bootloader. Thanks for your answer!
