Can the R800at with build date 12w17 not have it's bootloader unlocked even with a paid service?
edit:Since everywhere I can find says that no method works, can someone tell me why?

[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
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.
Hi xda, I am a noob here needing some help on my Xperia play. I am currently using a r800at running 2.3.3 and it will not show if my bootloader is unlocked or not and I want to know if it is or if I will have to have it done for me. Here are some pictures below showing what it shows me... I have rooted it using Superoneclick successfully as well. Im looking to run Cola custom rom on it if anyone is wondering why. If anyone can be of any help here, it is greatly appreciated
Thank you have a nice day!

First off, welcome to XDA. Also first, you should edit that screenshot with microsoft paint and hide your phones IMEI #. You dont want that info out in the open. Second you can only unock the AT&T xperia play (R800at) via either alejandrissimo at unlocker.com or wotanservercom
http://www.wotanserver.com/en/sony-ericsson/se/xperia-play-r800/unlock-tool/debranding-flash
Currently wotanserver is about $10 american and it will unlock your phones bootloader and simlock, so you can use the phone with a T-Mobile or other sim card.
All the details for unlocking on here in XDA, just do a search. I hae never used alejandrissimo but have heard good things, currently though wotan server is cheaper and you can use the unlock tool from wotan to unlock your phones bootloader.
Good luck.
Are u sure Sony still don't allow unlock on r800at? They do for I aswell X now.

As far as I know SONY doesn't allow free bootloader unlocks for carrier branded phones. ...Verizon & at&t
As of bout a month or two ago Verizon users can now unlock their bootloader for free via Sony's webiste. I relocked my bootloader and tested out the code that was emailed to me from Sony and it worked.

Currently AT&T is the only Xperia PLAY that you cannot unlock for free from Sony., You must either user Alejandrissimo or WotanServer.com to unlock.
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader of the r800at from sony's website in 2014?
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
unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com
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.
Is there any way to unlock the bootloader now? I feel like nobody is around to do it anymore.
It's a rogers r800a model. It's been sim unlocked so no more rogers.
It's running a CWM based recovery with Gin2Kitkat, rooted.
Any ideas?

What do you mean? The paid Method for unlocking the R800a has been around for ever. And the free Method was posted more than year ago. Please search before posting.
