I didn't go to S.E to do it, and my phone was network locked.
how do you unlock your bootloader without using se then. my arc is world generic.
Omnius or the remote unlocking via remote usb

Always is risk brick your device.
A lot people already unlocked their bootloaders without any problems.
If you don't know what you are doing, then don't do it!!

Your DRM will be permanently deleted, and will cause malfunctioning of music like, trackid, Ota.

Depends on how you unlock it.
Correct, unlocking at se website will lose DRM functions and unlocking with setool will keep these
believe me you can get more from your arc when its bootloader is unlocked! i didnt find any risk or disadvantage!
The little things you lose by deleting DRM and unlocking the bootloader a really worth it!
Kernels, recovery, my Arc is better than I expected it to be now

But like what would be the side effects? Since I listen to music a lot on my arc. Also how would I do the unlock via setool?

SeTool
Jinx13
Side effects are that these things are not working anymore:
Like button in stock music app, Track ID, SEUS and you don't get that much information displayed in contacts for conacts linked to Facebook, just the birthday and not all the other stuff which isn't that bad to me. Still syncs the calendar with their b-days and displays all the rest like lockscreen notifications etc

I held off a while but eventually took the plunge, the advantages have so far definitely outweighed the negatives. I didn't find myself using the app's that you lose (in fact I found the facebook integration very intrusive/annoying) so it was a no-brainer for me and having a custom kernel has made it into the phone it should have been from the factory..

Hi guys..
I know, there are similar topics, but I've read them and they weren't very clear to me..
Whats the best way to sim unlock Xperia Arc S?
Is there a free way you can do this? By flashing, etc..?
If not, what's the cheapest way to do this?
(Is it just to take it to mobile phones service and pay them to unlock it or...?)
Thanks in advance
At least there is wotanserver.com
...and might be others that i don't know.
Sent from my LT18i using XDA
As far as I know you can't unlock sim via a code it has to be done by software like setools, s1tools via test point.
these are both paid for services which will unlock the sim but also unlock the boatloader, if however when done and you don't want boatloader open you can re lock the boatloader.
There is an xda member who does this remotely for £15.00 his name is jinx13 you can search for his name via the search bar.
Benefits of using these as opposed to any others as it will still allow your to update via seus or pcc and not lose drm or track id, not that these are any big issues.
I can recommend jinx13 as he opened my arc via setools sim and boatloader using the test point method which was painless and very easy.

Yes youll lose your drm and waranty forever no chance recovering it
Probably some service centre check it some didn't: D
My friend has an Xperia mini Pro unlocked bootloader but when his phone broke because he overvoltage it too much. He got lucky the guy didn't check the bootloader status so it's still under warranty: p

Just a note about the warranty. Unlocking your bootloader will NOT void your warranty. Yes Sony will know if you unlock and you will lose drm keys. Sony will still honor warranty for bad parts and workmanship. However if it's unlocked they will be more picky about claims. Say your phone unlocked with custom kernel and have overclocked. If you cook the cpu by running to hot, that is your fault and Sony won't cover. But say you get some yellow tint (like XS got) in screen Sony will repair.

From the Sony developer website for unlocking bootloader
Technically Sony says this...
