Hello. The forum search isn't working at the moment so apologies in advance if I'm sounding lazy. I've just taken delivery of a brand new Sony Xperia S which is locked to O2 UK and has the official 6.1.A.0.453 firmware installed on it. In the service configuration menu it says Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No. How do I go about unlocking the bootloader please? Many thanks in advance!
Questions go in Q&A section ...........

You can find it on Sony mobile web unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com

As i wrote on the thread where you asked for 4.1 JellyBean.
Click the first line in my signature there you find all you need to Root or Bootloader unlock.
And use the SEARCH of the forum. (Forum-rules !!)
All your questions are asked multiple times and answered here !
Also about making your phone faster. (debloat, custom rom, custom kernel, overclock [at your own risk!!] )
Before starting new threads try googling for answers, and go read the stickys in the general section.

Yes, and go to the general section and read the stickys before starting threads asking for what's been posted numerous times. Just because you're a noob doesn't mean you can't read.

Hello everybody
i have this dilemma with my Xperia S LT26i.. i have it with locked bootloader ando is going well... do yo think is bettes stay with locked bootloader? or unlock it... and... the other thing.. is how do you know if your bootloader has been unlocked and relocked again?
You better ask questions in questions and answers sections... I think you dont understand bootloader... bootloader unlocked for usually for root the phone and then install custom ROM.. but xperia s can be rooted with locked bootloader as well (another way)... But some ROMs needs (ROMs with non-stock kernel) bootloader unlocked...
Also u dont need a poll for this lol....

Well my first suggestion would NOT be to yell for help, in a question thread, that you posted in the general section.
We have a Q&A section just for QUESTIONS
You violated XDA rule #1

Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
