While it may not work, it's still worth a shot I think. the answer is always no, unless you ask... So why not? Got nothing to lose at this point. LOL.
And yes, I agree...It's all about the dollar, unfortunately. Thank you all for signing though. Maybe we will get lucky and it "might" actually happen?

We ended up with over 1500 for the petition to have Sony release the sources for my x10. Sony did release the GB sources, but it was after ICS was released for 2011 phones. And GB drivers didn't help much for ICS

Seeing as the Boot lock really looks to be in full control from Sony I would suggest trying to get them to hear you. At some point there agreement with ATT will end and this device will be dropped as the new ones come in very soon. So maybe just maybe Sony will listen and help us out.
^if u read through some of the other threads about sim unlock and what not. an ATT rep specifically told someone it was only the first 90 days... their exclusivity clause whatever.... in other words we should be allowed both sim unlock and bootloader unlock via ATT now. granted i see your point about Sony being in control of it. but, that doesn't make sense when they've got the SXS unlocked and getting AOSP love.... >_<

I signed although I feel it will do nothing it will be worth the effort. I believe this is a control set by att as sony allows the bootloader unlocked on lt28i/lt28h.

I disagree with this... i have been trying to get the unlock code from att for my ion and they do not have it or have a release date for. i have been with them ten years and never asked for a unlock for any of my devices. i left for japan three days ago in hopes that i could take my ion with me and use it on docomo network so i didnt have to buy another phone while here. and att told me they would have my issue resolved long after i arrived, so thanks to att i had to buy another phone upon arrival.
i would have had a better chance at unlocking an iphone 5 before i left, than unlocking my ion
Plus one for me. Rogers canada locks there boot loaders as well.

I have been reading the last 3 days forums all over the internet and called a couple of unlock phone guru's but haven't found any form to unlock my wife's xperia play. she passed away a week ago. I need to contact some of her friends and let them know about this.
please if you know a way to unlock it without losing the contacts info it would mean the world to me.
thanks.
Typically devices to access that information on a locked phone are very expensive. I don't think there is an easy way to get past the pass lock. If you know her gmail username and password you could input the wrong code until it gives you the option to unlock via the Google account.

When you set a lock.code you have to set a seperate question and answer such as whats your mothers maiden name/ favourite place
If she was your wife you should know this, try doing that
The funniest thing is there was a guy a while back who was asking almost the same question, but it was his son who had been given the phone and had "messed up" the code and now they couldn't get into it.
If you ARE for real, then take the phone to ur networks shop, u will have proof that she was ur wife, and they will be able to help u, I would have thought this would be the first thing u thought of, NOT making an account on XDA and asking here =/
Whats that I can smell??
(Full apology will be given IF this is actually true!)
I don't think this is fake. I mean, you would have to be a real low life to use a dead wife as a fake excuse.
My sincerely condolences for your loss, friend.

This app is from a member on XDA, Spock12, and he says that it works on the international Galaxy S3, GT-I9300, but it might not work on the u.s. varients. I was wondering if there was a way to "port" over this application to work with AT&T?
Why not just call at&t and ask for the code?

Same for me. I bought it then a week later I got on to the online chat w/ AT&T & just asked them for the unlock code. They gave it to me w/ no problems! Took about 5 minutes to get it from the rep.

We did the same for my wife's White SGS3. She really wanted the iphone 5 (tried to talk sense into her but it was of no use...die hard icrap user). So the deal was if she could sell the SGS3 for enough to get the iphone she could. She called, got the unlock code, went to tmobile and borrowed a micro-sim and finished the unlock. I then rooted it, installed SU and Busybox...then we sold it on ebay for almost $700. So now she has an iphone.
Just call ATT and get the code. If they start to give you trouble just tell them you'll be going out of country to Canada for a while as part of your job and want to take your phone and not the crappy business phone most of the time they'll just give it to you along with instructions. If not, call back in a few minutes and get someone different.

Damn. You might wanna log back online again & talk to a different rep. The person that gave me mine didn't ask any questions & even told me that Samsung supplies the unlock codes for all of their devices as soon as you buy it. If I were you, I would try again. You'll eventually get a cool rep that will give it to you.

indeed, just about to update that the int'l care rep gave me a 8-digit code, saying that if I get a foreign micro sim, the device will ask for it and be ready to go. (hopefully no glitches in there..)
Or you could of just searched around here and you would have found the free way to unlock it without having to waste time online. Check this

So I purchased my Ion Lt28i from Wind the other day, and when I looked into the phone I found it to be "not unlockable" for the bootloader. Sonys site says otherwise.....
Any suggestions? It is the I version, not sure what i'm missing here....
Thanks in advance!
Just dial *#*#7378423#*#*, go to service info and then open configuration, if it says something about bootloader unlocking: yes then you can do it, if it says no then is not possible.
so.....maybe you misread my post, but i have already done that. Sonys site is showing that my model CAN in fact get a key, but you can't implement it without being able to get into fastboot....
Sony says it can, phone says it can't. Any other suggestions guys?
That's because its carrier locked. Carriers don't allow you to get into fastboot, and the ones Sony talks about are the sim free ones. So only stock for you, I'm afraid.

Imagine......you can't Rom your phone besides MIUI.
Its.....frankly really irritating, I love trying out all the cool sh*t people come u with for Roms, and I'm not "allowed to" because my carrier says so.....
Doesn't make much sense.

Title
The variants of the phones Lt28i, Lt28h, Lt28at... are not just in the software. The Lt28i was specifically created by Sony for the use of network operators (I presume the boot loader exists on a physically separate partition, which would make sense since bios of motherboards are constructed in the same way).
If the boot loader was unlocked and Rogers fully simlocked phone so that no cellunlocker could help you, you could still wipe the phone and undo all the locking (afterwards terminate Roger's contract and run away with the 400 dollar phone). I think that even the network operators do not have access to the Lt28i bootloader.
However, with the Lt28i:
You can unlock the network, even if hardlocked.
You can flash and root Lt28h firmware on to it.
but you can never rape that sweet, sweet virgin boot loader goodness ...it will remain unmolested through the life and death of the phone.
(unless you get someone like a Sony developer to help you out)
Disclaimer: I haven't the slightest idea of what I am talking about, so don't ask me anything.
I went to service menu and it states Booloader unlock allowed: No
Crap!
Is there any way arround this?
Luckily its my wifes phone so no big harm. But how I can know if I will in future get a phone that can have unlocked bootloader???

I have just been bought the Xperia M by my girlfriend as an early xmas present (she's awesome) but my bootloader says its not unlockable... ive just updated to C.2.8 ive got the SS version on Tesco Mobile.
Im not a noob to android modding, I had an Xperia Ray super modded (cant remember what ROM) until earlyer this year so am a little out of touch but i did have an unlocked bootloader using the Sony method.
Surely having a unlockable bootloader will/can be fixed at some point in the future? software update or a hack? or is it just simply that i will not ever be able to unlock it?
Is it network locked? I'm sure I've read that if it's locked to a network the bootloader cannot be unlocked I could be wrong

So surely can't I just flash an unbranded stock firmware using flashtool then? It IS locked to Tesco mobile... It came with a big sticker on the box saying "I'm locked to the Tesco mobile network!"
So if I get a stock generic ftf file will that remove the network lock and free up the bootloader?
I have already sent my imei to Sony but not received my email with the unlock code...
Thanks for the response btw
Anyone else care to input or say anything on this matter?
Would really like to get a custom kernel installed (well, elixer) as im not too fussed about the ROM itself, I much prefer a tweaked/modded stock look and feel when using my phone anyways... Looks so much smarter.
Again any help or pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, ive tried searching quite a bit now and it really seems that (so far at least) there really isnt a lot of custom support for this awesome phone, I didnt want the Xperia L (same hardware, same resolution, BIGGER screen!? .. 4" is plenty of screen size, if i want/need bigger then I should get a tablet no?) and then just about every other phone on the market now has a 17inch screen unless you get a really basic phone OR an iPhone *shudders* ughh the thought of itunes... No way.
The M is right in the sweet spot with 4" display and good decent hardware to match
Kind of preaching to the choir here im sure you guys all think the same as you own 1 lol
Problem solved for me. Unfortunately it will not help others.
Phone was restarting 5-6 times per day. Finaly I opened it and discovered that whenever I press SIM card it restarts again. Motherboard had be replaced.
Now, that is back from operater's service booloader can be unlocked yeeee!

I don't want to be negative, but I've used android since 1.5 and had AT&T since then. In that time I've had a few phones with locked bootloaders and I've seen quite a few petitions to unlock it and I've never seen anyone successfully get them unlocked from AT&T, it's always been boot strapped or some other method for bypassing it. Not saying don't try, but don't seriously get your hopes up. Also even if you got everyone on XDA with an AT&T Note 4 to sign it's probably less than 1% of their sales of the Note 4.
