First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can . If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked. I hope its helps

Nope. Bootloader unlock allowed: no means no current way to unlock it.
BTW search for this next time please as it has been discussed ad nauseum.

[Q] AT&T unlocked bootloader r800at

Hi all-
I have a r800at that is produced 12w20, which according to the unlock bootloader community there is no way to unlock the bootloader to this device, not even using the testpoint method.
I really want to install custom roms on my device, I am on the AT&T network. Any recommendations on where I should purchase a new/used device that has this capability ? I am thinking just ebay but I don't know if there are any other resellers I should be looking for
Thanks

Well try flashing a r800i firmware and use the bootloader unlock method in flashtool. I have an r800at with an unlocked bootloader but I don't specifically know what I did. If my method doesn't work pm me and I'll tell you what I did since I got my play and maybe that'll work. Thank you

Whenever I type in the number to check bootloader it won't let me, I type the number in and after the last sign it goes away, I can't press call and check

Sometimes you cant enter the ServiceMenu.apk on certain roms. However, Did you try on Sony's site anyway ? Just remember you dont add the last digit on the Imei, only the first 14 I believe. And the Testpoint method works even without the bootloader saying unlockable under the service menu.

OP did you ever succeed in unlocking your bootloader?

flashing or installing kernels on locked bootloader help ?

Ok my bootloader is locked, my phone is the At&T xperia play. I rooted my phone recently and found out that my bootloader was locked and couldn't be unlocked on the service info on the phone. I recently used x-parts by pvyParts, and that helped me a lot with putting Aurora play 1.0.1 rom on my locked xperia play. I really want to install lupus kernel on my phone for gaming is it possible for me to install a kernel though though x parts on the CWM recovery menu ?

Dont spread misinformation! R800at cant be unlocked for free from SONY. The only way to unlock R800at version is to pay for the bootloader unlock.
