Hi everyone ! I have a Xperia Arc LT15i and I found out using *#*#7378423#*#* that I cannot unlock bootloader (Bootloader unlock allowed: No). How I can unlock my bootloader because I want a ROM like CM9 or JJ's Hybrid and it`s must to have bootloader unlock. Please help me with unlocking the bootloader, or please help to find a ROM like CM9 without unlock my bootloader. I want to say that I am not very skilled Waiting for more tips.
download flashtool then Plug in > unlock bootloader
it will guide you to sony's web page, copy paste the code and let flashtool unlock it
Actually JJ's ROM doesn't require an unlocked boot loader.

If you have bootloader unlock allowed:no standing, then you can't unlock it with Sony service, because your IMEI number is then 15 symbols long, so no way for unlocking bl without paying for services like setool

Hi,
If you have bootloader unlock allowed:no , you can unlock it with Omnius :laugh:, but is not free, 15€/unlock .
I unlocked my LT15i with Omnius, I had "unlock allowed:no" before.
So .. I can't unlock my bootloader, only if I paid :crying:
Setool & Omnius links?
you guys got any links related to this Omnius and Setool things? or other alternatives for Xperias stating that unlocking bootloader is not allowed?.. I had thought that if they say so, it was just impossible to unlock...
Unlock for free

just go here unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com
I'm starting to get angry I said and ludz179 in answer above you I can not unlock the bootloader so because the Service Info says Bootloader unlock allowed: No
was only giving info you say your phone says cannot unlock boot loader then from wat iv seen there is no way to unlock it.
but there is lots of roms out there that run well on none unlocked bootloaders and using new flashtool seems easy plus using DooMLoRD to root the phone .. I think the only way to do it would be to send it to sony service to unlock but knowing them you go no chance
just trying to help thats all
Can't help enquiring.You mention that there are several roms that are available which does not need to have the bootloader unlock.Could you give me the links please.

Sorry,found it.2 threads down.Thank you.
Hi I was all prepared to unlock my bootloader, at the first step I learn that my bootloader cannot be unlocked following the sony official method.
Can I still unlock my phone and how.
It is running like a slug now that I've upgraded ti IC.

Bootloader & SIM Unlocking:
PLEASE NOTE: The ONLY WAY to Sim Unlock your Phone is to PAY for it, so do some Googling and read which services have been recommended in the past.
- Know Your Android Bootloader - What it is and Why it Matters
There are three ways to Unlock yours, the Standard/Official method (For SimFree/Un-Branded Phones) which is explained HERE, (PLEASE NOTE! - You loose DRM when using the official method but not with the TestPoint) but if your Phone came from a Carrier then chances are (99%) you won't be able to use that method. There is a simple method of checking if you can or not which you'll find HERE.
Standard Unlocking:
Then there is the TestPoint method...
TestPoint Unlocking:
Two members - Alejandrissimo or Jinx13 offer a Remote Service which isn't free, but cheaper than anywhere else on the net, and when you take in to account you will also SIM Unlock and retain DRM using the Remote method it's worth it.

AW: Unlock bootloader not allowed, what to do.
Try flashing a global / european generic firmware with flashtool. My phone had a branded t-mobile firmware with the same problem. Flashing a global genereic solved the problem for me... No problems so far..

Hi, in January you suggested using Alejandrissimo to unlock my xperia.
Do you know if his service is reliable and do you know anyone who has used his service?
Cheers.

Well, usually once you unlock the boot-loader you lose the DRM keys with no DRM keys you have no warranty. Therefore yes Sony will detect it was unlocked once, and refuse warranty upon those grounds.
There is methods to unlock without losing the DRM keys but I've not looked into them too much.
Hey guys
First of all I hate to open new threads
Then I searched about it and didnt got any result
So back to the topic
We hav to give our IMEI number to sony for bootloader unlock code so my question is when I send my device to Sony repair center they will know about my bootloader unlock or not?
Or will I face any warranty issues
Thanks

If you unroot and relock your BL, they won't know you unlocked it.
The fact, that you requested the unlock code doesn't prove anything
In order to completely factory relock you device, you should first back up your TA partition before unlocking!
--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
That's right, you just get your unlock code, that doesn't automatically unlock your device. I recently got my phone back from repair, although I unlocked (and relocked) my bl I got a replacement phone, I didn't loose warranty.
Also, if you unlock, sony says you MIGHT loose warranty. I'm quite sure that they'll replace your device in case of hardware defect.

im trying to use the automatic toolkit but it wont root. i cant unlock the bootloader either. plz help me
So much information............. If you want help take the time to write a detailed post. What rootkit? What firmware? Is your phone even unlockable? Go into service menu and look for bootloader unlock allowed:yes or no. If no then you will have to use the testpoint method and install special roms and kernels from the lo0py thread.
