If I flashed Bootloader relock on my PLAY does it mean the bootloader is locked again? Because I cannot access TrackID (it says [5]Error. Prease try again later) and that probably means the bootloader is unlocked. But I am not sure. Can someone help?
Nvr mind I found out that it's locked.

A month or two ago I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my R800X on 2.3.2. Ever since 2.3.3 has came out, I've wanted to update, but I cannot due to my bootloader being unlocked. Thanks to some very helpful instructions by a fellow XDA member, I did the instructions to relock my bootloader, but I am still rooted. Is that normal? How can I check to see if my bootloader is locked? I really want 2.3.3
You can check it by trying to use fasboot. If your locked, fastboot commands won't work (they'll come back with "you need root first" or something like that). Also, I think you need to do something to get rid of root and put the rom just like it was stock or the install might fail. Might try a factory reset. Good luck!

No if you root your phone that's all that will happen

I think it would be best if you flash your stock firmware to your phone first....as i have seen i lost both root & bootloader unlock after i did so...
I've rooted my play with zergRush metod, and I'm thinking about unlocking the bootloader so i can load custom rom, kernels ecc... Now, my phone is under warranty and unlocking bootloader will void it right? If I relock it, does it return under warranty?
I dont think so, since the DRM is not restored.
If you use the paid method then your drm certificates aren't wiped

And the paid method is this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285285
And then for regain warranty: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134334
Am I right?
That's just a tool that can be used to unlock the bootloader if your phone is already able to do so right out of the box. But yes same idea as the paid method

In order to flash custom kernels onto your device you need to unlock your bootloader first.

This guy is right. When it says you have to be rooted... Its not in the sense as root for superuser... Its more the bootloader. Meaning your bootloader has to be unlocked.

Umm unlocked boot loader is like you can put any sim card in right!?
No I think that's sim unlocked. Not for r800x. But not sure if it unlocks sim when you unlock with Sony method with other xplys.

Easiest is with unlocked bootloader. I have unlocked bootloader and didn't find any problems (camera still works).
