Guys,
I would like to install the DoomKernel in my device but, I entered in the sony`s setup in my phone and there says that I cant unlock the bootloader.
The question is:
Is there a way to install the DoomKernel in my device, even if my bootloader is locked?
I've made the root and I already have the CWM installed.
I would like to make a swapp and a little bit overclock
I tried to find this answer in the forum but, I found nothing.
Thank you very much.
First of all what model is it but seeing you can't unlock it's probably a r800x. Anyways, you can't install a kernel with a locked bootloader

And yes, you CAN unlock your model too, you'll need to if you want to install a custom kernel. Try doing some searches and you'll find out how

Unfortunately I think no.
I went to Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. And there is write No. So, I think that my device cannot be unlocked, unless I pay some company to do, right?
Guys,
Just to let you know that I have solved my problem.
I made the bootloader unlock with this server:
wotanserver.com
Worked fine!
Tks.

According to
http://androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/
If it says the Bootloader unlock allowed is NO the bootloader is already unlocked is that right ?
That can't be right because mine is looked to orange and also says 'no' for boot loader unlocking and i have installed a bug fix update OTA and 2.3.4 via pc companion which would both brick a phone with an unlocked boot loader and mine downloaded fine.
Mine said no to unlock bootloader and was locked on o2 but I paid to have the sim unlocked and the bootloader for a small price of a web site, its a 100% safe and also you can still do OTA updates with out a brick.

Use jinx13 on this website, he unlocked my play, he will provide you with all the software you need, he does the unlock remotely using teamviewer, all you need is a paperclip.

No not at all, you don't need to sim unlock your device before you unlock the bootloader. Infact one of the features you get with the paid unlock method is, it will sim unlock your device too. So paying for a sim unlock first is a waste of money.

I looked every were and im sure every unlocking bootloader method was you had to have your sim unlocked first. If I new that I wouldnt of payed and I would of done it my self.

I'm serious, i know there is alot of conflicting information right? But the deal is, factory unlocked phones can use the official bootloader unlock method. Sim locked phones, even if you get the sim unlocked, it does not unlock fastboot, thats why you need the testpoint method, and a sim unlocked device defo isnt required for that, because my device was still locked to o2 when i got my bootloader unlocked.

Ok lol I looked at to much conflicting info then. I knew I should of just tried it. Do you still get OTA updates with out bricking?

He unlocked my bootloader and sim within 15 minutes. I don't think you need to unlock the sim first because mine was a r800at and everything was locked to begin with.

If you think you can unlock your bootloader using the unlock method your self then do so but you wont be able to do OTA updates but if you pay you will be able to do OTW updates.

No. And there are no free methods to unlock the R800x, thanks to Verizon. But if you click the link in my Signature on Aledandrissimo's name, it will take you to his site. You can have him do it for $24.00. He's very safe and reliable. All the details are there.

It would just stop at step 7, it wouldn't do anything after that.

The 'bootloader unlock allowed: yes' doesnt always ahow up. It depends on the android version and some other things. Anyway, if it shows no value for it or it even doesnt show up at all, it means you cannot unlock you BL, not at least by IMEI code method. It is possible through a paid method by alejandrissimo, a well known and trusted member of xda. Just take a look on unlock-bootloader.com (maybe its free now, I dont know)
For unrooting, you should try flashtool (zerg-rush), or the unroot tool, maybe they work on r800at

please go to the thread and read carefully you will find what you need to know
Hi everyone. I completely apologize for this question as I am absolutely new to Android and to unlocking a phone. I just bought a R800x Verizon Xperia Play for the sole purpose of being able to play emulators. I will not be activating it to use as a phone. I have read as much as I can and am still a little confused in regards to being able to unlock the bootloader and install roms.
If the bootloader message says No, am I not able to unlock it or install roms at all?
If it says yes, can I install any rom, or am I limited to what I saw as Cola and a few others?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone help me out. Or can I keep it locked but install cola?
You can.unlock the bootloader I have mine unlocked using sonys unlock method but.if you wish to.stay with a locked bootloader yoj can.install cola but you'll have to.root 2.3.3 install clock work mod.recovery I my.self.am.vefy glad I unlocked my.bootloadef and since yoj habe.no.intentions of using the phone side yoj could install numeruous amounts of gsm roms

If I unlock it using that method. I've read the forums. I just need to get flash tool then and pick a rom I want to use. Most roms come with the clockwork recovery from what I'm seeing.
