It can only be done by a paid method. This is the site you need. http://unlock-bootloader.com/. It costs about $25.00. That site will provide the answers to all your questions.

So? I got my phone for free, and found it well worth the price to unlock it. The choice is yours, but freedom isn't free.

Hi to all I just got my new Xperia Arc today.
I already read some threads regarding rooting and unlocking bootloader
i just like to ask if im going to just root my phone using zergrush without unlocking my bootloader. Will is it be possible to install Custom Roms if bootloader is lock but the device is rooted?
No you can't..you have to unlock it..arc has good ROM right? Why are you so hurry....just use it at least
One month

Hey everyone,
i have a rooted xperia play r800i and i was wondering if there are some intructions on how to install ics on my phone with a locked bootloader?
thanks if you respond!!!
Short answer: you can't flash ICS with the bootloader locked.
Workaround: however some people say you can use the ICS rom of a Xperia Neo L because is basicly a Xperia Play without the gamepad, but with its rom the touchpads and the camera of the Xperia Play don't work.
You probably won't be able to get ICS on a locked bootoader (except maybe Neo L), because it requires a different kernel. To get a different kernel, you'll have to unlock your bootloader, but seeing as you have a R800i, it shouldn't be too difficult.
Just unlock your bootloader.

Use the TestPoint method then instead of the Official Method, you'll find all you need at the first link in my sig.
The official method is more reliable and i see better for newbies... I highly recommend you continue with the SONY method... Actually when i was it his lvl, test point confused me...

The TestPoint method is better as you retain DRM, and if a video tutorial is too hard to follow, then yes, perhaps the Official no more reliable or better method is the way to go.
love my phone. but it's almost 2 years old. my phone is stock but rooted and it runs excellent since i've cleared all the bloat.
i've got a build 3.0.1.b.0.270
android version 2.3.3
is there anyone happy with stock ics on their att play? if so, does everything work 100% (wifi, text messaging, internet)?
sorry for this newbie post to the experts but would appreciate help. thanks.
Atm there's no stock ics ics firmware... Most of them are modded roms from the original ics beta or ported from other devices... But first, UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER... If it's still locked you won't be able to flash any custom kernel or Rom...
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
To install ics you need to have your bootloader unlocked. Other than that your set to go with everything else.

On Krisdees Sony ICS Beta everything works great battery life with lupus 720 p ICS +GB......unlocking your boot loader is your primary objective...IdK if your being a r800a makes things different...as I am r800i
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
R800a and R800i are the same thing, it doesn't matter which in one you have... unlock your bootloader via zergrush and i recommend you to try either the express rom or the markpython rom, both have NXT looks... if you wanna try something a little different, try de hybrid rom by krisdee...
Have to pay

As far as I know, you have to pay to have your bootloader unlocked if you have the r800at. I recommend Jinx13, I got it done in about 10 minutes.

No you can unlock it via Sony's unlock site just follow their directions

rom: cm9 official

You can not unlock your bootloader for free from the sony website if you have the R800at model.
Is there a possibility that some dev is planning to make a CyanogenMod for Xperia M that bootloader cannot be unlocked?
I am asking this because there are already available solutions for other (more popular I guess) devices.
Thanx

Im pretty sure that's impossible on this device

it's impossible,because you have to unlock BL in order to have the CWM...you must have CWM to flash cm11

It's a NO.
CM requires custom kernel,so bootloader must be unlocked
