Hai!
I have a question:
I have a Xperia Play that is Sim Locked and so i cant unlock my Bootloader.
My question is, if i pay my cellphone company to Sim unlock my Play, will i be able to unlock my bootloader after that? Or unlocking the bootloader only works on phones that are native sim unlocked?
Thanks!
It is still possible to unlock the bootloader of your phone as I have a sim locked phone but unlocked it and unlocked the bootloader altough to do this you are going to have to sim unlock your phone with a software like omnius which uses a testpoint connection which gives you the option to unlock the bootloader of your phone it will not work if you unlock your phone using a unlock code.

Hi, I have checked around xda and have not found the answer to my question so my apologies if I missed it during my search. I have a Rogers branded R800a Xperia Play. I understand that carrier locked plays can not have the bootloader unlocked. However, I have found someone who can carrier unlock my phone for me (Use it on foreign networks). If I get my phone carrier unlocked would that allow me to unlock the bootloader myself or do I have to go through someone like Alejandrissimo to properly unlock the bootloader? Thank you!
Only factory unlocked plays can use the official unlock method, if you paid to get your device sim unlocked, you would still have to pay for a remote bootloader unlock.
By the way, when you pay for a bootloader unlock, it also sim unlocks the device, so paying for a sim unlock first is a waste of money.

Ok thanks for your help, I guess I'll pony up the cash to get the bootloader unlocked remotely.
Hey there.
As the title says, i have a sim locked phone.
If i unlock the bootloader, will i still have to make a sim unlock or the sim will be unlocked as well ?
if no, i search a few sites that provide a software to make a sim unlock.
whats the diference from the unlock by code?
whats the best/sheapest one avaliable?

Sim-unlocking and bootloader unlocking are two different things.
PAID bootloader unlock maintains DRM keys (TrackID still works) AND SIM/network unlocks the phone.
Official bootloader unlock from http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com does NOT unlock the SIM, erases DRM keys but is free.
As far as I know, there's no free SIM unlock software. In Canada, it's ~$6 CAD to buy an unlock code.
Hy sorry for this stupid question but i used the searck but I don't finde any ansver for it....
So SIM unlock is same with BL unlock or it is only a Sim unlock.. ??? I mean if I do thishttp://www.fastgsm.com/en/sonyericsson/se/xperia-arc-s/unlock-network/flashing-debrand(the first option)(buy it and do this) my BL is unlocked too ??????
SIM unlock is not the same as bootloader unlock.
SIM unlock just unlocks phone so you can put different SIM cards in phone.
Bootloader unlock allowed you to install custom roms, and other mods.
To unlock phone you can use test point method then this will unlock SIM and bootloader.

I have a r800at running gin2jb with r800i, and i was wondering if its possible to unlock the bootloader without unlocking the sim, since now sim unlocking is illegal on carriers?
No not possible.
You can unlock the bootloader at Sony's bootloader unlock website and it won't unlock the SIM.
So my gf got an Orange Xperia M and would like to use a O2 SIM in it. It's obviously locked to Orange so right now it's asking for an unlock code when the O2 sim is installed.
I checked the service menu and her bootloader is locked tight too:
bootloader unlock allowed: No
I read that you need to unlock fastboot for the Sim lock to drop. Any way to do that?
We don't really need to unlock the bootloader at this stage just the sim lock.
Thanks a bunch.
