Can't unlock AT&T Play
Just go the AT&T play, and can't unlock the bootloader using the instructions on here nor on the official sonyericson instructions. Basically, can't get into fastboot mode at all, using search button and usb plugin as instructed.

There are two dudes on there forums that can do the bootloader unlock. I think its like $24usd. I'm gonna do mine payday (Friday). Pretty sure once you unlock the bootloader, the root should be easy. Look in the general section those dudes are in there.

Can he also do AT&T?

yes he can, he just did it for me last night. Was fast and easy, he even helped root it and answered any other questions i had.

Do i have to physically send the phone?
I am new to android (jumping off the iphone train) but i was under the impression that it wouldn't be hard to root the device myself.
I'm hoping to be quickly corrected here.

Respond Time?

You don't have to send your phone. You install a few software needed for him to remotely do all the stuff in front of your eyes. And you open the back cover of the phone, link two points with a paper clip or something like that. A lot of people have done it and I haven't seen a single complaint (except for some people who think this is a ripoff and want it free).
The problem is that there are a few versions of "lock", carrier sim-lock, locked bootloader, not being able to use fastboot. But this method unlocks everything in a few minutes.

Jinx13 also does bootloader unlocking for like 15 bucks

I plan on picking up my phone tomorrow.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys

I have PMed Alejandrissimo and I am hoping this phones bootloader can be unlocked. I have AT&T Xperia Play(R800At) and the bloatware is killing me(and lack of freedom). Phone is brand new & it will be a shame to have to return for Atrix. I will pay the money as long as future updates dont re-lock bootloader, sim, & take root from me & I dont have to keep paying.

I have an R800at that he unlocked yesterday. Also got root going and will remove bloat this weekend. He can certainly help you out.

hackable phone

go ahead and vote for the sony xperia s as most hackable phone on xda 2012 holiday guide , the lg nexus 4 is about to i=win for the xperia s , don't let it and vote , just go to the upper left corner and select hackable phone and vote for the sony xperia s

But it's not... Because I was unfortunate enough to buy my Xperia S on a network, I'm completely locked out of ever unlocking the bootloader and installing custom roms. My network says to ask Sony, while Sony tell me to ask my network. Such a hackable phone!

I got my ION & X10 for free through at&t. But my ION is also unlockable. However I would have never been able to buy the $550 phone unlocked. This information has NOT been hidden. Everyone knows when you buy subsidised there is a chance you may never get it unlocked. If you want a fully unlockable phone you have to pay full price.
And as for the nexus 4, at least the S is being AOSP maintained by Sony. The N4 may not have any maintenance for AOSP. Just like the S they both have proprietary driver issues, but no word from LG about any development.
Also Sony was voted OEM of the year here @ xda. Their new support for after market development is a move most OEM's won't likely make.

Sorry Jaramie but you ate wrong.
A network locked phone is JUST that, you are not able to use other networks. In any way is referred that bootloader is locked or not. If not, explain how come some networks allow unlocking bl.
The only question with locked bootloaders is with warranty.
You want to talk about prices? Galaxy s2 and 3 are equal or more expensive that xsperia s... And are hackable, locked or unlocked to network. My previous Huawei was more hackable than Sony.
Sony has an amazing security feature that blocks you to flash custom kernels into your phone... so it should be the most Unhackable brand, not the opposite.
And with that in mind: Xperia S is not, in any universe, the most hackable phone.
PS: I can't understand the excitement to make campaigns to vote for a phone. To be the first on a poll will get you exactly what?!

If you really read other users posts instead of trying to make jokes you would notice the user before me finished and signed the post as Jaramie.
But thanks for the great contribution to the subject...

Yes. But only via paid method.
And I would recommend flashing generic firmware first.

how to unlock my xperia z5p? i want to root but...

it sounds like root will lose some function like x reality? i always wait the new 6.0 but until now it doesn't updown.if you were me ,what's your choose?

Unlock, root and then flash the mod on the forum which restores DRM functionality. Rooted, unlocked and still have Xreality etc.
Win/ win.

And what about warranty?

In Europe at least, EU law 31999L0044, is allowing consumers to modify their devices and still keep warranty. So unlocking bootloader in EU does not void warranty at least. Not so sure about other regions.
