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.

[Q] can i unlock bootloader if im on 2.3.4 rooted?
Yes you can, the process varies depending an what model you have, r800a r800x, etc etc
Try searching these forums using the keywords, unlocking bootloader xperia play
ok here's my problem i went into configuration on my xperia play 800at and it doesnt say the bootloader is or isnt unlockable does this mean my bootloader is unlocked?
Did you unlock your bootloader or buy it second-hand? If no to both of these, it's not unlocked
kool thanks i wasnt sure becuz for one my imei is 15 char long so i will probly have to have it done by some one right?? it was sim unlocked by somone else with tmobile sim
got the same question
I just rootet it with superoneclick - does it unlock also?
you can install recovery without unlocking bootloader with the cwm installer on the market works perfectly xperia play r800at
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?

how can i tell if boot loader is unlocked. I bought this r800at on eBay i use it with cell one in Montana and i cant seem to get the data to work. I have got the data to work on several androids i have used Motorola xt720 also Samsung i9000 but for some reason i cant get data to work. I have triple checked the apn info so i want to try custom a ROM i have done this with all my androids and not getting much info on the r800at version.

Your phone's bootloader will be locked if you bought it new. Unless you bought it second hand and the person before you unlocked it, you will have to unlock it yourself.
Here is the link to the offiial Sony guide to unlocking your bootloader

Hit Thanks if I helped :good:
You have to take r800at to att store and have them unlock your device for you. There is no free method for unlocking r800at version.
with the Verizon version of the moto z play, the bootloader can not be unlocked. has anyone tried to work around it and still be able to root with the locked bootloader? i know with past Verizon phones I've had there were always bootstraps available to set up and still be able to have root but with a locked bootloader.
