What do you mean by not unlock? Can you not use it?
It just says bootloader locked and continues running scripts

i cant go to fastboot (all botton)
tell me please R800a Can go to fastboot ????:
OR how i go to fastboot
HELP ME PLEASE
You can unlock it but you have to pay for it, something like 25 bucks and unlocking it that way with the testpoint you won't lose your drm and ota updates won't brick it

S-off per-say does not exist with sony devices. The bootloader can be unlocked, removing most security and allowing the flashing of unsigned images. But we are not able to do all the things a fully security unlocked HTC device can do (like flashing custom bootloaders).

I'm just curious but has anyone uncovered a way to root the Xperia play on Verizon running 2.3.4. The only way I've found is to downgrade to 2.3.3

No current way.

If you have the RootXperia.zip from Blagus (original clockwork mod recovery boot.img thread), you can flash that via Clockwork Mod. Make sure you have CWM installed first (unlocked bootloader).

There really is no point in using 2.3.4.
Unless you love new bloatware, no root, and many other problems
Use flashtool to get back to 2.3.3 and enjoy the fun!
i have root on 2.3.4 but i can't remember the steps. and yes there is no point on having 2.3.4
If you flash to 2.3.3, root it, and then update to 2.3.4 you will have rooted 2.3.4
Thats the good news
The bad news is, 2.3.4 doesn't connect to Google's servers properly (rooted or not) so you annoyingly can't use gtalk, and a couple other features, you have to manually refresh your Gmail, calendar, etc (It does it once per day otherwise), can no longer "buy apps" on the web and have them pushed to your phone automatically. And some apps with push notifications no longer notify.
Is the only way to unlock the bootloader for the r800x to use the paid method from unlock-bootloader.com ?

If you unlock your bootloader you can flash Super User zip from
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
That is the classic and easiest way to root a device with an unlocked bootloader
Just instal it in recovery and your good to go!
Yes for the R800x the only BL unlock method is for 24$
I'm on 2.3.2, does 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 have access to the PS Store app?
I had thought about updating to a newer version, but damn, I can't believe all those issues with 2.3.4

You should ftf to 2.3.3. It is the most stable Gingerbread version for the R800x.
Or you can always use UK ROM
I have rooted my R800x wth the original gingerbreak exploit chew

Yes, I believe it is. It is so well worth it though
I really want 2.3.4. I couldn't give less f*cks about bloatware. They do nothing. I want the screenshot and other things they added. But Doom never updated his kernel to support the camera. Oh well.

Sure have, best $24 I've ever spent for android. I've mostly ran cm7 or cm9 since I've become quite use to them, but since unlocking it I can't even imagine how I went with just root for so long

Which Xperia phone do you have?

Sweet. So you used the unlock-bootloader.com unlock method and it went fine?

How can I check that my bootloader is unlocked?
I don't know how can I check it.
This numbers *#*#7378423#*#* didn't work
Boot into bootloader (hold volume down when powering on or adb reboot bootloader) and write down everything on that screen here

Screenshot:
It is no unlocked but you have some security flags removed, it was probably rooted but not through the recommended method. What are you trying to accomplish right now?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I want to flash via fastboot boot.img (kernel)
You can go through the htcdev site and get an unlock code from them, really not a great way though.
Preferred method to root and install an engineering bootloader can be found here
