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 xda, I am a noob here needing some help on my Xperia play. I am currently using a r800at running 2.3.3 and it will not show if my bootloader is unlocked or not and I want to know if it is or if I will have to have it done for me. Here are some pictures below showing what it shows me... I have rooted it using Superoneclick successfully as well. Im looking to run Cola custom rom on it if anyone is wondering why. If anyone can be of any help here, it is greatly appreciated
Thank you have a nice day!

First off, welcome to XDA. Also first, you should edit that screenshot with microsoft paint and hide your phones IMEI #. You dont want that info out in the open. Second you can only unock the AT&T xperia play (R800at) via either alejandrissimo at unlocker.com or wotanservercom
http://www.wotanserver.com/en/sony-ericsson/se/xperia-play-r800/unlock-tool/debranding-flash
Currently wotanserver is about $10 american and it will unlock your phones bootloader and simlock, so you can use the phone with a T-Mobile or other sim card.
All the details for unlocking on here in XDA, just do a search. I hae never used alejandrissimo but have heard good things, currently though wotan server is cheaper and you can use the unlock tool from wotan to unlock your phones bootloader.
Good luck.
Are u sure Sony still don't allow unlock on r800at? They do for I aswell X now.

As far as I know SONY doesn't allow free bootloader unlocks for carrier branded phones. ...Verizon & at&t
As of bout a month or two ago Verizon users can now unlock their bootloader for free via Sony's webiste. I relocked my bootloader and tested out the code that was emailed to me from Sony and it worked.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013762
Currently AT&T is the only Xperia PLAY that you cannot unlock for free from Sony., You must either user Alejandrissimo or WotanServer.com to unlock.
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader of the r800at from sony's website in 2014?
Hi im DVE and I am new to this XDA stuff etc... I was wondering if anyone can help me out with how to unlock the Xperia Play At&t Bootloader so I can install ICS or Jellybean on my phone for I'm tired of and stuck using gingerbread 2.3 Any suggestions?
To my knowledge the R800at is the only model that does not let you use Sony's unlock site to unlock the bootloader. You need to hit up an XDA member by the name of Alejandrissimo and talk with him via Google Talk, he can unlock it for your remotely for free. Via the touchpoint method.
Check the Sony site and see if they are allowing AT&T users to unlock now:
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
Good luck.
Edit - Wotan Server has all the files you need to download and install the drivers for the Xperia PLAY to be recognized in your PC. It also will provide you with the files needed for Alejandrissimo to unlock your phones bootloader.
http://www.wotanserver.com/en/sony-ericsson/xperia-play-r800/unlock-tool/debranding-flash
Install the file listed on the above link, and when its installing it will install ALL drivers for Sony Ericsson phones. It will pop up several windows asking you to verify you want to install the drivers, select "ignore warning and install"... or however its read.
I appreciate your reply I really do I'm just sick of gingerbread and would like to try out custom roms one day lol!

If you want to take the full tour of custom roms, many do not require a unlocked bootloader. But for the best its best to unlock. Seriously if you get stuck, contact alejandrissimo, he is awesome. Very patient and will help you to unlock your phones bootloader.
Other Solutions to unlocking R800at bootloader?
I got another question to ask ya, what if I try this website:
fast gm (dot) com
It says to pay 5 dollars for a unlock code to get rid of the At&t off of my phone via network etc... will this unlock my bootloader as well?
I mean if anything or any website that states unlocking are they referring to the bootloader too?
I have a at&t r800at too i want to unlook
i want to unlook bootloader
me too! sick of gingerbread!
Thanks for telling me about Alejandrissimo. I have moved on to a Galaxy Note 3 N900T without ever trying custom ROMs on my old Xperia PLAY R800at (despite my constant frustrations with the generic North American R800a ROM). I wanted to experiment now that it's not my daily driver but I did not want to spend $30 at some unlocked site for a phone I'm not even using. The FTF method doesn't seem flexible enough to try everything I want to try.
unlock bootloader
Hi, is there posible to unlock bootloader for free?? Or a guide to unlock it??
If you want to unlock the bootloader go to the sony site. Or if you want to unlock for free use the testpoint method.
Test point is an old trick and there are many guides on youtube. Once unlocked it will appear to still be locked. However you cannot install all roms only the ones that have been converted. If you search LOopy in the forum you should find the thread whoch contains all the roms.
That is how I unlocked my r800at it also preserves drm.

It seems that you've worded that weird. I'm under the impression that sony still doesn't offer a way to unlock the r800at. Also, saying testpoint method is free, directly after, seems to infer sony charges for unlock. That, would also, be news to me heh.
But i also have unlocked my r800at bootloader with setool! Just tonight, also thanks to some info from your posts, thanks again.
This being the case, I think that services like Omnius, Wotan, and Alejandrissimo, should be referred to as either; "fastboot installation" or "fastboot unlocking". Bringing me to my original point, It seems sony; or maybe even the company of motherboard (i think qualcomm?), should have to release this "fastboot unlock/install". Recently a legislation deadline with carriers being forced to allow unlocks was met, feb 10 i think. I plan to link articles in a post soon.

what rom and kernel did u go with?
i have an r800at, whats the bootloader unlock for it? Sony says it cant through the site
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.
