hello,
i was was wondering how i could unlock my bootloader? i know i can pay $25 but im a little tight on cash right now
thanks
No not at this point in time there was a free way to unlock the 800x awhile ago but that got shutdown by Verizon. A couple members on this site were generating unlock codes for them

that sucks but thanks one more question is it possible to install a kernal like doom kernal on a locked bootloader (sorry im new to the xplay i got it like 3 days ago)
No can't do it without having fastboot enabled but I know there are other devices out there that can flash a kernel without the need of fastboot. It would be pretty cool if it was possible to just flash a new kernel thru CWM or adb

Hi. I've been off the Arc ROM development scene for quite a few months but I'm back now and have been trying to read threads to get some idea of where we are up to now.
When I left, the boot-loader had been successfully unlocked and the phone rooted, Woohoo! Then we discovered that the SEUS threw its toys out of the pram if it met an unlocked handset, Bummer!
I see the situation re: SEUS and unlocked phones hasn't changed but I also see that someone has worked out a way to re-lock the bootloader.
Can we have a re-locked phone that is also rooted now? I would like to be able to use the SEUS updater but I want to keep my apps that require root access.
So if anyone can let me know what the current state of affairs is I'd be very grateful and have less headaches from reading miles and miles of posts!
Phil :-D
The namaste guide should help.

I know that you don't have to have an unlocked bootloader just to have root but what I would like to know is if I could unlock it to run some custom kernels for overclocking and then relock it for S E. updates ?
You can relock it and use SEUS.
But FlashTool will do it too without relocking it.

Does anyone know any custom roms for the r800i?
Since Sony dropped the ics update for my phone i immediately searched for custom roms. I'm currently on gin2ics which is awesome but I'm looking for 4.0.3 roms for LOCKED bootloaders as i have no idea how to unlock mine.
EDIT:
Any Good ROMs Will do..
Thanks In Advance!
I dont think that would be possible since the sony stock kernel wont be able to boot the ICS, thats why you need an unlock bootloader to change the kernel
So how do i unlock my bootloader?

Thanks but this was the first thing i did and im told im not allowed to unlock bootloader.
For one thing i dont trust sony anymore cuz I'm one of many that had the x10 mini then got this phone. Promised an update and kicked in the dirt months later. All i know is my next phone is not going to be from sony.
Anyway, how do i unlock my bootloader when the bootloader unlock is disallowed? There must be a way...

How did you get gin2ics on the phone with the locked bootloader? What process did you use?
I can't get into recovery mode when I try to do mine. Can't access fastboot either. Want to get my bootloader unlocked too but can't find anywhere free to do it.
Far as i kno you have to pay to unlock the bootloader sorry mates

I suggest unlocking your bootloader. Even if you find a rom that supports locked bootloader your risking yourself with a brick.
Hey guys I recently got the at&t version of the xperia play and already rooted it. The thing is though I want to overclock it and possibly install some roms and I know for that I need to unlock the bootloader but so far all I have been reading shows that I need to pay to have my xperia bootloader unlocked? Is there any way around this?
I didn't see a thread like this when I was searching but if there was already one to help me out can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks!

When you unsuccessfully tried To unlocked bl at that moment you lost your connectivity bcoz your phone was not meant to be unlocked for free. Alejandrissimo is right you'll have to pay. No other way

Bty which testpoint method you used to unlock there is a free one and a paid one? If you used paid one(i don't think so) then you should be fine with signal. And cheapest way of unlock is provided by alejandrissimo unless you have setool' box'.

And also it could be all free unlocking bl or repairing hard brick or sim unlock ( not sure) if 'laser' who made setool had provided it for free like we have flashtool. But he wanted his credit for developing it as it supports wide range of phones almost all. As it is said if you are good at something NEVER do it for free!!!

no, you can't unlock the bootloader (well that was what other people said when I asked, last year)
but there might be a new method to unlock it...if there is...then I NEED to do it
