You can't do anything.
Devices with sim lock aren't unlockable.

Thank you for the quick reply.
Hi all
My Arc was sim locked. I bought and get some different codes such NSCK, NCK, SPCK, CCK.
I used NCK code for unlocking my sim. Now my Arc is SIM FREE, but I can not get into fastboot mode.
Is there a solution for this ? or I must accept that my device is a forever-unlocakble one!?

Not yet, and pretty much. Hopefully a dev will figure it out at some point but for now it's a waiting game.
Let's all hope for the best and hopefully it comes later than sooner.
How Do I find out the bootloader status (Locked/unlocked ?) of my xperia ARC.
actually I unlocked it official way, then relocked and updated to .42 fw using PC for giving to repair under warrenty. its over and I want to unlock bootloader again. whats the best way I'm on fw .42 baseband 56.
thanks a lot in advance.
dial from your phone to check status :
*#*#7378423#*#*
service info --> configuration
for me, the best way is via fastboot..

dear gogo,
I've tried that, the service info will tell you "bootloader unlock allowed = yes"
it will not tell you whether your phone is locked or unlocked state!
It will tell you.
Mine is unlocked and says " Bootloader unlocked: Yes "

that means your bootloader is still locked, and you were allowed to unlock it.

So that means I can do the same exercise again to unlock I mean official way?
In that case se will provide me new code to unlock?
I don't remember the old code they provided
Regret for the seeking the clarification again as I don't want to endup in trouble later.

Yes, you can unlock again.
Request the code again and you'll see if they provide it again.

it's ok.
I've tried it.
the unlock code is still the same code you had received before.
the remaining question is whether you sure to unlock it again or not, as standard user doesn't need to do such thing.
bravery comes from experience.
that's it bro.
I think your problem has solved.

For the info...
Bootloader unlocked: Yes
Means fastboot is enabled and the bootloader can be unlocked the official way
Bootloader unlocked: No
Means fastboot is disabled and therefore the bootloader can only be unlocked by other means
The best way for you to check your bootloader status is do identify in s1tool or similar
hi to all! So as you see fastboot is not working on my play and I want to repair it. At first I had orange sim lock - solved. Than i unlocked bootloader via testpoint, but this fu… Lovely fastboot isn't still working. (my phone just turning on when you hold search button)

I didn't pay anything because I unlocked it by testpoint, you don't need to turn on fastboot, just plug turned off phone without battery.

http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions follow the instructions there.
You will be unable to update or repair using SEUS after unlocking that way.
You could also unlock by the test point method with the s1tool

If your phone is sim locked, then I guess you have to pay to unlock then.
Hi everyone,
maybe this is a wrong place to post this but im getting desperate.
How can i unlock my bootloader (xperia arc s). But the major problema is when i go to details menu it says this:
bootloader unlock allowed - no
And as far as i search all people says i cant unlock it....
If someone can help me i really aprreciate. or at least tell me some good room for my phone.
I need to give it a new life. Start to close and reboot very often... and right now i dont whant to spend money in other device
Thank you all for the support.
As it says - you are not allowed to unlock the bootloader AFAIK
If you try to attempt the usual unlock bootloader, you'll get hard brick

So basicly im stuck with the phone as it is? I cant install good rooms or whatsoever? what a shame :/
Really appreciate your feedback.
thanks.
You can root your phone and install some roms with the ability to install on a locked bootloader - but most of them are GB or ICS. If youre looking for JB or KK you're out of luck

Search,there's ROMs available for locked bootloader
