Unlocking r800a is it possible(q)

Ok so in the settings thingy it says bootloader unlock no. Can I unlock my r800a? So that custom roms can go on and still maintain my drm? Also will it be free

It's not possible to unlock ATT version at Sony site, try WotanServer website.

Yes for that you have to contact alejandrissimo @ unlock-bootloader.com, it's my prefer method too.

Here is bootloader, I'm not sure about about sim though.

So does that method allow flashmode?

There can be several reasons for this, I found some possibilities that could work:

And mostly all solutions cost some cash, well the testpoint method would be for free, but you shouldn't do it, if you have no idea how it works.

Ok thanks for the info and shall be sure to take a look

[Q] Carrier Unlock

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if rooting and flashing a custom ROM automatically unlocks your SIM? Or is SIM unlocking a completely different business?
Thanks!

Different

I've used this tutorial and it worked:

And yes it's free.

"if it says not allowed or no then you will need to pay to have the boot loader unlocked.", is there anyway around this part? And why would I have to pay for it?

In the service menu, does it say
Rooting status
Bootloader unlock allowed: no
Because if this is the case, you fall into the same category as I. So you will have to scour the xda for stock based ROMs that you can flash.
