Hi,
I don't have enough posts to reply to thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197890&page=26 link, but i just want to know if there is any progress on rooting the r800x without having to unlock the BL. Like is any Dev working on an app like Gingerbreak or Z4 root to work on the r800x.
Sorry if this question as been asked already, im just curious because im tired of running out of space because of the bloatware.
Unfortunately Only SETool Box BL method works
Currently no, the only way to root is the paid SETool Box method of unlocking the Boot-Loader
It has been asked; I know because I've been searching as well

Hi, I just the VZW play,
Ive been fallowing this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197890&page=25).
I just have a quick question,
Am i able to root the play even if the BL is locked. Im coming from a Droid X and i have a lot of root apps that i payed for and i just don't want to have useless apps.
also is there any updates on unlocking the BL besides the paid way?
For now, if you own a R800x, and want root, you will need an unlocked bootloader.
Currently, the only way to obtain an unlocked bootloader is through the paid method.

Hey guys, I'm looking to load CM7.1 onto my xperia play from Rogers but I just need a little clarification on the process. In the instructions it says the phone needs to be rooted. Now I know usually rooting the phone comes hand in hand with unlocking the bootloader, but of course with gingerbreak that wasn't true.
So I just want to know, do I need to unlock the bootloader as well or can I just use the gingerbreak root?

You don't need to be rooted. But you do need an unlocked bootloader.
Hi xda, I am a noob here needing some help on my Xperia play. I am currently using a r800at running 2.3.3 and it will not show if my bootloader is unlocked or not and I want to know if it is or if I will have to have it done for me. Here are some pictures below showing what it shows me... I have rooted it using Superoneclick successfully as well. Im looking to run Cola custom rom on it if anyone is wondering why. If anyone can be of any help here, it is greatly appreciated
Thank you have a nice day!

First off, welcome to XDA. Also first, you should edit that screenshot with microsoft paint and hide your phones IMEI #. You dont want that info out in the open. Second you can only unock the AT&T xperia play (R800at) via either alejandrissimo at unlocker.com or wotanservercom
http://www.wotanserver.com/en/sony-ericsson/se/xperia-play-r800/unlock-tool/debranding-flash
Currently wotanserver is about $10 american and it will unlock your phones bootloader and simlock, so you can use the phone with a T-Mobile or other sim card.
All the details for unlocking on here in XDA, just do a search. I hae never used alejandrissimo but have heard good things, currently though wotan server is cheaper and you can use the unlock tool from wotan to unlock your phones bootloader.
Good luck.
Are u sure Sony still don't allow unlock on r800at? They do for I aswell X now.

As far as I know SONY doesn't allow free bootloader unlocks for carrier branded phones. ...Verizon & at&t
As of bout a month or two ago Verizon users can now unlock their bootloader for free via Sony's webiste. I relocked my bootloader and tested out the code that was emailed to me from Sony and it worked.

Currently AT&T is the only Xperia PLAY that you cannot unlock for free from Sony., You must either user Alejandrissimo or WotanServer.com to unlock.
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader of the r800at from sony's website in 2014?
Device: Sony Xperia M C1905
Software: 4.3
Bootloader: Locked
Basically, every single method I have tried to root this phone has failed. All I want to do is have root access to my phone, I want to be able to:
Use CynogenMod (FOR CLASH OF CLANS)
take my apps2SD
Delete any crap from my phone
Full Customization abilities
All this can be achieve by rooting but MY BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED.
There are numerous ways out there that just don't work.
Does anybody know how to first root my phone, and then to have access to a mod?
I want the mod to be able to do all the things I listed previously.
I know this is possible with CynogenMod on other phones, but my bootloader is locked, and I just don't know what to do. Done numerous tutorials, none seem to be working or some don't even have any download links.
If someone could give me a step by step guide on how to mod and root my phone that would be perfect.
I will respond very quick, and will ask you questions if I need help.
I will listen and try to follow your steps, but please give me specific details, I'm not a pro modder.
Simply use towel root and get full root access
Just search in threads, how it works

I have tried that. I followed each step with the towel root hack.
Basically, after I've done it I go on Root Checker and no the root is not successful.
And with towel root you can't use Cyanogenmod.
You can't use Cyanogenmod if your bootloader is LOCKED, I have the same problem, my bootloader is on "Bootloader unlock allowed: NO" status, you can't because Cyanogenmod uses a custom KERNEL, which is impossible to do if your bootloader is locked. All we have to do is to wait for somebody to make a LB (locked bootloader) version of Cyanogenmod.

I see, I'll just get a new phone, 2gb of storage sucks and my camera has stopped working...
Hello,
I've recently obtained 2 new old stock Xperia Z1 Compact phones.
Both have their bootloader unlock allowed set to NO.
However, both are also running KitKat 4.2 with a really old kernel and the Easy Root Tool exploit should work to obtain root.
My question is whether the unlock allowed can then be forced to YES with the obtained root permissions and how?
I would like to flash LOS on both
Thanks,
Bobby
Not possible. There should be a HW way using testpoint
I am also trying to find a solution for this has anyone had any luck doing this with the S1 Tool and the bootloader unlock option using test point if yes please share here thanks.
