Sony Xperia Neo V
Stock ROM 4.0.4 (Updated 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 via OTA)
Rooted via DooMLoRD
CWM Recovery installed.
I need to find out if my Xperia Neo V have a locked or unlocked bootloader..?
I have read through different thread and have googled as well, but still was not able to get a concrete answer.
I have never unlocked it myself, not intentionally atleast.
When I check via *#*#7378423#*#*, it says 'Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes'. Some guys around XDA says if its unlocked, it will say ''Bootloader unlocked: Yes' but others say it will show the first one regardless of the lock state.
PC Companion and SUS can detect it just fine and I can repair and update my phone, which leads me to believe its locked.
But then, I can get into flash mode, use flash tool to load different ROMs and also have CWM installed - doesn't it need a unlocked bootloader?
And, if I am on a locked bootloader, what's the advantage of an unlocked one then, what am I missing?
Bootloader unlocked: Yes only means that your fastboot is unlocked,that your phone isn't SIM locked, not that your bootloader is unlocked.
Being able to enter flash mode, flash different rom's, cwm doesn't mean your BL is unlocked.
There are rom's that require custom kernel, if you wanna use those rom's you need to unlock your BL.
Advantage is anything that can be done with custom kernels, mainly overclock, undervolt, change some parameters...
Go to Neo V development section, in one sticky thread you can find s1tool. Get it and identify your phone with it.
Just a fact that you didn't unlock it tells that it's locked. All Xperia phones have locked BL's. All 2011 Xperias with sim lock, have locked fastboot, which means you need to pay to unlock it and by that you enable fastboot and unlock your BL.
Thanks buddy (button pressed). So, unlocked bootloader means warranty gone forever, right? Irreversible?

Well, if you use official method, even if you relock it they can see in service center, when they connect it, it will show that DRM certificate is missing. I'm not saying they will look for that, but it will be visible.
In my opinion patched bl is best option, with s1tool. Also you can relock it. As far as I know nothing will pop up on their PC.
Alright buddy, got the idea. Thanks a lot.
I have sony xperia s , rooted , unlocked bootloader cm9 , i want back the original firmware from sony ( in my opinoin) i want to relock the boot loader and i want to now what are DRM codes and what i can loose in my phone , and does flashing the original sony firmware through flashtool from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1723610 , keeps my DRM keys ?
drm keys are lost forever , you cannot reflash it ( the partition where was located it's unacessible from user )
quick google search brought up this ..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management
DRM - Digital Right Management
if u lost DRM keys you can't use some apps that using DRM, like trackID
And we can't claim warranty with unlocked bootloader
so the moment i unlocked boot loader i lost my drm keys ?
and does flashing the official ftf from the thread mentioned in the first post boot on unlocked sony xperia s , and does it relock my boot loader or just flash sony's kernel and keeps my bootloader unlocked ?
and is there a cracked app or something to install working track id ?

First No warez here, yes there is an app like soundhound, shazam etc.
Second you can reflash ftf and the bootloader will be still unlocked.

I have a rooted Xperia Ray GB!
And i want to know whether my phone is Unlocked Bootloader, or NOT YET UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!?
Use Flashtool to check it. When U see something like this [with small r]
04/012/2013 01:12:17 - INFO - Loader : S1_Loader_Root_773f,S1_Loader_test_Root_xxxx - Version : r4A069 / Bootloader status : ROOTED

Your bootloader is unlocked. If it's R instead of "r" - it is locked.
If You bought used device and U want to know if BL was unlocked and then re-locked - use track ID. If it works - then DRM keys are not lost, so BL wasn't unlocked OR someone used test point-method.
Also You can check service menu, since U'r using stock GB. *#*#service#*#* (*#*#7378423#*#*) and check if bootloader unlocked status is YES or NO. If it's NO - then BL is locked and You can't unlocked it.
Actually its
Bootloader unlocked : yes. - unlocked
Bootloader unlock allowed : yes - not unlocked

Is it somthing related to the status of its bootloader and how i can know my bootloader is unloacked or locked and if so how can i re unlock it ! I'm on android 4.4.4 and i'm rooted
It comes factory locked
So if you havent unlocked it then its still locked.
You can use flashtool to unlock it.

Hello,
I have a problem, I have do a backup but not all the partition before on MIUI.eu ( I realize that now, when I touch restore, I seen only five or 6 things...) , I was at one moment on Orion OS that could change maybe Something, but now on CM13 official when I launched adb to have informations about unlock : result :
but I haven't unlock yet...
So please someone could said to me what I need to do ?
Perhaps your device came to you (like both mine) with the bootloader already unlocked.
I'm on Cm13... And I haven't re unlocked bootloader...
I think I don't understand your issue. Your bootloader is unlocked. What do you want to do? What do you need help with?
CM13 relock bootloader so normally my bootloader is locked...
Official CM13 does not relock bootloader. Your bootloader is NOT locked. "Device UNLOCKED: TRUE".
I'have ask the question and someone Saïd to me official lock...
Mate, if your English is very poor, try to use Google Translate and use full sentences and describe your problem. I simply don't understand. Your bootloader is unlocked. Period.
