Thank you for the quick reply.

Hi all
My Arc was sim locked. I bought and get some different codes such NSCK, NCK, SPCK, CCK.
I used NCK code for unlocking my sim. Now my Arc is SIM FREE, but I can not get into fastboot mode.
Is there a solution for this ? or I must accept that my device is a forever-unlocakble one!?

Not yet, and pretty much. Hopefully a dev will figure it out at some point but for now it's a waiting game.

Let's all hope for the best and hopefully it comes later than sooner.

[Q] Unlocking bootloader

Hey, well basicly I've just brought an Xperia Play. I had to ring up Orange UK after I brought it, I was told it was a generic network unlocked phone so I was thinking oh great I can actually get the bootloader unlocked easy! but it turned out it was actualy locked to Orange UK (Brought the phone on Ebay was meant to be unlocked) but I went into the service menu & bootloader unlock wasn't allowed, I've seen SeTool is a great tool for unlocking Sim-locked devices, but from what I've seen with buying the credits & the program it's pretty expensive, is there any other way of unlocking the bootloader? I can't boot into fastboot with the blue LED I've tried the official way too unlock, I've tried flashing generic firmware using FlashTool non of that has worked. Can anyone help me out what so ever? Thanks Jay.

Contact this guy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232050 He unlocked mine remotely (and many other's); it's costs around £15 and takes about 15 minutes. Make sure you have a paper clip handy and do a bit of research before hand (download the apps needed etc)

Thanks for the reply man! Anwser I've been looking for, I'll definatly concider that. Sounds a good real good deal.

Yea it all worked fine for me, hence why I'm happy to recommend that guy. The method he uses is remotely running SETool via networked USB drivers, so if you've already looked into that you'll understand why it's around £15 (he has to buy the credits)

does fantastic work. same stuff. now the fota is fixed too so you may do updates OTA with your bootloader unlocked. OTA used to brick the play and arc when their bootloaders were unlocked, since been fixed and Alejandrissimo applied the fix for free, as i had just unlocked my second SE device a few days before this fix. lol

[Q] How to unlock Xperia Play R800at bootloader?

Hi im DVE and I am new to this XDA stuff etc... I was wondering if anyone can help me out with how to unlock the Xperia Play At&t Bootloader so I can install ICS or Jellybean on my phone for I'm tired of and stuck using gingerbread 2.3 Any suggestions?

To my knowledge the R800at is the only model that does not let you use Sony's unlock site to unlock the bootloader. You need to hit up an XDA member by the name of Alejandrissimo and talk with him via Google Talk, he can unlock it for your remotely for free. Via the touchpoint method.
Check the Sony site and see if they are allowing AT&T users to unlock now:
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
Good luck.
Edit - Wotan Server has all the files you need to download and install the drivers for the Xperia PLAY to be recognized in your PC. It also will provide you with the files needed for Alejandrissimo to unlock your phones bootloader.
http://www.wotanserver.com/en/sony-ericsson/xperia-play-r800/unlock-tool/debranding-flash
Install the file listed on the above link, and when its installing it will install ALL drivers for Sony Ericsson phones. It will pop up several windows asking you to verify you want to install the drivers, select "ignore warning and install"... or however its read.

I appreciate your reply I really do I'm just sick of gingerbread and would like to try out custom roms one day lol!

If you want to take the full tour of custom roms, many do not require a unlocked bootloader. But for the best its best to unlock. Seriously if you get stuck, contact alejandrissimo, he is awesome. Very patient and will help you to unlock your phones bootloader.

Other Solutions to unlocking R800at bootloader?
I got another question to ask ya, what if I try this website:
fast gm (dot) com
It says to pay 5 dollars for a unlock code to get rid of the At&t off of my phone via network etc... will this unlock my bootloader as well?
I mean if anything or any website that states unlocking are they referring to the bootloader too?

I have a at&t r800at too i want to unlook
i want to unlook bootloader

me too! sick of gingerbread!

Thanks for telling me about Alejandrissimo. I have moved on to a Galaxy Note 3 N900T without ever trying custom ROMs on my old Xperia PLAY R800at (despite my constant frustrations with the generic North American R800a ROM). I wanted to experiment now that it's not my daily driver but I did not want to spend $30 at some unlocked site for a phone I'm not even using. The FTF method doesn't seem flexible enough to try everything I want to try.

unlock bootloader
Hi, is there posible to unlock bootloader for free?? Or a guide to unlock it??

If you want to unlock the bootloader go to the sony site. Or if you want to unlock for free use the testpoint method.
Test point is an old trick and there are many guides on youtube. Once unlocked it will appear to still be locked. However you cannot install all roms only the ones that have been converted. If you search LOopy in the forum you should find the thread whoch contains all the roms.
That is how I unlocked my r800at it also preserves drm.

It seems that you've worded that weird. I'm under the impression that sony still doesn't offer a way to unlock the r800at. Also, saying testpoint method is free, directly after, seems to infer sony charges for unlock. That, would also, be news to me heh.
But i also have unlocked my r800at bootloader with setool! Just tonight, also thanks to some info from your posts, thanks again.
This being the case, I think that services like Omnius, Wotan, and Alejandrissimo, should be referred to as either; "fastboot installation" or "fastboot unlocking". Bringing me to my original point, It seems sony; or maybe even the company of motherboard (i think qualcomm?), should have to release this "fastboot unlock/install". Recently a legislation deadline with carriers being forced to allow unlocks was met, feb 10 i think. I plan to link articles in a post soon.

what rom and kernel did u go with?

i have an r800at, whats the bootloader unlock for it? Sony says it cant through the site

Bootloader unlock allowed:NO!!!

I originally had an xperia c1905 but cross flashed c2005 FW onto my device. What i find really annoying is that when i open the configuration in the service menu i find out that i cannot unlock the bootloader, ie, bootloader unlock allowed no. I haver read online and i have researched it, but other posts were made in 2013, i thought id ask ahain in 2014. Is there any possible way whatsoever of unlocking my phone's bootloader? will i ever be able to do it? Are there any modern ways that i might have missed?
Guys please dont tell me to send my phone to sony and they will unlock it for me. I have already tried it, but fot no response from sony. I have even contacted o2( my sim carrier) and asked about information on how to unlock, they told me that they cannot comment on that subject.:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
If u have any information, i need your help, thank you!

As far as I know, no way of unlocking your bootloader if it says no. You still can try the regular bootloader unlocking procedure method, the only thing that may occur is it not working...

Or it can brick the device just leave it for now and wait for the time being there might be a way of doing it if it gets found if not the new firmware that's getting released shortly might lift the ban off the bootloader

I have the same problem. Please somebody need to find a way to unlock it. I bought my phone from Orange. I flashed the stock Sony's firmware and rooted it. I can't flash any CyanogenMod :crying: My old Galaxy Ace hasn't got any locks or something, installing custom roms was easy, but on this phone for me it's almost imposible...

I stumbled on a post on the Sony Talk forums the other day that stated if you carrier unlock your phone (so you can use any SIM card) and then flash an unbranded ROM the bootloader unlock status changes from No to Yes. This statement was made by a moderator on the forums and I have no idea how well the procedure will work.
Oh, the post was regarding the Z too so I'm not sure if it applies to the M.

[HELP] Unlock Bootloader: NO/ Rooting Problems SE Xperia Arc (LT15i)

Hi,
First off sorry for any reposts is didnt know what else to do after reading forum posts for hours and hours.
So heres the Crack. I'm tring to flash CM 9 onto my SE Xperia Arc (LT15i) and so far here is what i have done.
dialed *#*#7378423#*#* and found my phone is BOOTLOCKER ENABLED=NO
Asked o2 for a Sim Unlock Code
Entered that unlock code sucssesfuly
re dialed the num in point one to find that is sill says no
tried putting into fastboot anyway (as suggested by users in another post)
I'm other things i did where email and ring o2 both gave me no help and email sony mobile and recive no reply after now a week and a half
does anyone have any tips on turning the boot loader to say yes as that is my only hurdle to rooting this phone, i believe it is possible as i read a page on the sony forums sayinf a spansih comanpy called movistar was offering it for there customers however i then though one last ditch attempt with o2 on there forums where the customer service lady flatout refuses knowlage of a bootloader.
in summery a) sorry for rambling a little b) is it even possible by any means to change the UNLOCK BOOTLOADER: NO to UNLOCK BOOTLOADER: YES. and if so how?? c) sorry again if this is a duplicate post i didnt know what else to do at this stage.

If the SIM unlock was successful you should be able to unlock your bootloader. Just follow the steps here:

Actually no. Just removing the SIM-lock does not enable fastboot (and does not change Bootloader Unlock Allowed, it still stays on No).
The only way to unlock bootloader is by using test point method, if your phone is manufactured before 12W11 (11th week of 2012). You can check it under the battery. If your phone is manufactured after 12W11, then you can not unlock your bootloader and can only use stock-based ROMs.
There is no known solution to this at the moment and due to lack of interest by developers, it is highly unlikely someone will work on it.

It seems like i found the solution.
you have to pay £10 via paypal on phoneunlockserver(dot)com
and he will log on to you computer via himatchi and you put your tweezers on the test point (for the arc its under the sim card) and then plug into the usb and he flashes a kernal or something.
i havn't tried this out yet but if anyone has please let me know how it went

This is called the test point method. It only works on phones manufactured before 12W11.

oh okay thats wallright then mines an 11W18

No need to remove SIM-lock, just find the guide to unlock bootloader via test point method using S1Tool. Follow the guide and it should work.
You can do it pretty much by yourself, no need to pay, if I remember correctly.
