Not if his phone says Bootloader Unlock: No. Only option is to pay.
Paying the $24 is what is required to run the program necessary to unlock your phone. The guy unlocking it for you makes no profit from it. Is it really that unreasonable?

No that dont work my bootloader says no. An do you really think it costs that much to run a bit of software there will be a free way and ehen i find it will post in here

In the entire year that this phone has been out, the aforementioned unlock method has been the only way. If you think you can find another way, good luck, and godspeed. You'll be back, or you won't have an unlocked phone.

I have the same problem on my XPlay :/ I can't get into fastboot.

How anoying is it lol people keep saying it cant be done for free
But i think dif just gotta find a way if i do will pm you on here dude

[Q] Can the Play still be unlocked via unlock code using the old method?

I have an IMEI code from when some saintly users found an exploit on Sony's servers. Can this code still be used to unlock the play without having to pay anything? I unlocked it back then, rooted it, and then ended up going back to 100% stock. Now, I'd like to unlock it again, and really don't know where to start.
edit: R800x

Yes you can still unlock with that code. I had mine unlocked over a year ago by ashergray and I've relocked my BL once only to reunlock it.

Could you by chance point me to some instructions? Will Flashtool do the trick?

Yup. You use flashtool. Search for relock.ftf. I have it somewhere but its in this phones android development section. Once you have it flash via flashtool.

Each device's unlock code is unique, so getting someone else's code would do nothing for you

Please tell me how you found it?

Because you have a r800x you have the branded phone. Sony doesnt hand out unlock codes for the branded phones suchas att&t and verizon. Sony gives out unlock codes for the non branded handsets the r800i the international xperia play

Unlocking the boot loader and flashing a new rom wont unlock the network I dont think.

Cant See If It Can Be Unlocked Or Not? R800x

It just doesn't show whether it can I call that number where it shows if it can be or not and it doesnt show it! i need help its a R800x on 2.3.4 and its Verizon CMDA! Thanks xda

It wouldn't show it because verizon is stingy, but it is still unlockable through sony's site.

try to use flashtool as well the new one has a feature that can check the state of your bootloader and can unlock it as well

[Q] Sim lock!

Hi,i bought a simlockex Xperia Play,and I wonder if i cloud Root it. I know that i can't unlock bootloader,but can i root it?

It might depend on which version of Android is on the phone. I know that with the Verizon version (r800x), there isn't a known way to root 2.3.4, but I don't know if that's the case with others (the Verizon model doesn't use SIM cards, so I know you don't have that one).
Which version of the phone (r800i, r800at, whatever) do you have, and what version of Android is on it?

"i" never have simlock. check your information again. only "a" and "at" can have lock, "x" is cdma and has 2.3.3 android ver.

It is...here you go the pics from service menu

Yes, you can root it because phone still stays sim-locked after you gain superuser privilege

Maybe. Maybe not. If you are able to unlock the bootloader, it will also do a sim unlock (or so I've heard, the r800x does not use SIM cards at all). But one of the early steps tells you to go into the service menu and see if the bootloader can actually be unlocked. If it says "No" then you won't be able to do it that way.
