So I have a rooted CDMA xperia play running 2.3.3, my question is is it possible to unlock the bootloader of my phone? Cuase from my reading CDMA xperia plays are unable to have the bootloader unlocked.
Yes, it can be unlocked, but the only way is though a paid service, found here: http://unlock-bootloader.com/unlock/
It's $24.00, safe, easy, and worth it.
i have tried to flash/install custom roms that use the stock kernal, but none of them didnt result in a bootloop. are there any roms that would or could work for me? any help would be nice. semi-noob.
xperia play r800at (at&t)
rooted stock 2.3.3
locked BL
(also, if there is any free way to unlock sim network, let me know)
Don't know about customs roms so I'll wait with you for an answer. But as for unlocking the sim network. It's pretty cheap. It cost me $7USD to unlock it. Don't know if that's any help since that's not the question you asked.
to my understanding u have to unlock the bootloader in order to flash a custom rom. I just had my r800at unlocked by a guy from xda. I have ICS running on my r800at as we speak and i love it.
recover from bootloop

How do you get out of the bootloop?
This is my first r800at, and after several sammys and htc, I found flashtool message "Error flashing. Aborted" a little short on feedback
Sorry I've been asking so many questions but I can't seem to find the answer to this. I want to unlock the R800x bootloader, but from what I've read I have to use the Xperia Unlock Service website. I tried installing the AOKP rom, but I was sure I bricked my phone because it sat on the Sony Ericsson screen for over 5 minutes. I used FlashTool to get back onto 2.3.3 though and I'm rooted.
I have no problem paying for the service, but it's a shame that Verizon doesn't want you to unlock the bootloaders.
Thanks.
I think you answered your own question?

Ok my bootloader is locked, my phone is the At&T xperia play. I rooted my phone recently and found out that my bootloader was locked and couldn't be unlocked on the service info on the phone. I recently used x-parts by pvyParts, and that helped me a lot with putting Aurora play 1.0.1 rom on my locked xperia play. I really want to install lupus kernel on my phone for gaming is it possible for me to install a kernel though though x parts on the CWM recovery menu ?

Dont spread misinformation! R800at cant be unlocked for free from SONY. The only way to unlock R800at version is to pay for the bootloader unlock.
Is it possible for me to Install real ROMs to my Xperia Play R800x CDMA with a locked bootloader? I'm not talking about ROMs like Cola6, i mean stuff like AuroraPlay and stuff(Of course for CDMA). I understand i can't install custom kernels with the Locked bootloader and my bootloader can't be unlocked, so are there any ROMs that are possible to be installed to a CDMA XPlay that doesn't need a custom kernel? I would very much appreciate it! Thanks!
As if now the only actual rom tjat can be installed on a locked bootloader (from xperiance) is darkforest 3.0.5 which is verizon 2.3.3 and why can't you unlock the bootloader I got my code for unlocking from sony copied it and used flashtool to unlock my bootloader

I can't unlock my bootloader because the *#*#7378423#*#* menu has the option missing meaning it isn't possible. I wish i could because it would be so much better and i don't understand why some of these phones aren't possible and some are.

To be honest I never read the instructions on the sony site, I do not know what that menu will tell me if I flash a factory firmware. I do know that my R800x has been unlocked. It will not hurt to ignore step 1 there and follow the rest. If it works you have unlocked your bootloader. If not it only took about 5-15 mnutes.

Yes you can unlock it, verizin locked that part so we weren't able to think that we ever could inlock the boot loader, sony supports the unlocking if the cdma xperia play, I unlocked mine by gettjng the code to unlock and usinf flashtool while connected to the internet
