Have you tried checking the service menu?
Open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu
Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status.
Does it say bootloader unlock allowed?

Sorry, the only way to unlock that is by using the test point method Here
R800a is not an R800at. R800a is for south american market and r800at is for us market. Unlock r800at you have to pay via testpoint method.

Since you are using fastboot i assume you got an unlocked boot loader. So here is a easy way to root .62
And in case you are done with it and want to have recovry on stock kernel then you should install CWM AUTO INSTALLER from market/play store. Just follow the instructions after running the app! If you have any problem you can drop a question here or in the thread i suggested you!

Since you dont want to unlock your bootloader...you got to follow the OTA stuff.
Here is what you gonna need...
A fresh .42 firmware, flashtools. You can get the stuff from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330314
Now,
1. Flash the .42 firmware with flashtools
2. Root it with flashtools (the above thread tells you how to)
3. Update your phone over the air.
F.A.Q.
Q. I already have a rooted .42, why should i flash it again and then have root acess?
A. Most of the users uninstall the bloatware or other stock based stuff and then they face problems during updating the phone OTA. Hence to be on the safer side...its advised to flash the .42 firmware and root it again.

If you have bootloader locked you will need to down grade your firmware to build 42 do this download program called flashtools available on xda.
Download from xda the .42 file use flashtools to load on to phone.
Then root with either zergrush method or from flashtools.
Once rooted use ota to update to latest build 62
if bootloader is unlocked then do as described in previous posts.
All software and tools are available in general or q&a sections.

It's because you have a carrier locked Xperia S. The above method wont work with it, also if you have the SIM unlock code the bootloader wont unlock. Do one thing,mail your carrier and sony asking if unlocking bootloader is possible.
BTW you can still root your device and install custom ROMs just search the forum.
Once my bootloader is already unlocked (I have a custom ROM..) is there any way to re-check my bootloader status via some app or *#*# code? like the systeminfo you had with *#*#737 blah blah.
Why you want to re-check? You already know your bootloader is unlocked right!?
Still if you need to confirm. You can always try using fastboot mode to see if your bootloader is unlocked or not.
One suggestion create a thread for your questions arc q&a section filled with your questions

Flash custom kernel. If it finishes successfully, then it is unlocked. If it fails (most of the times, it gives ERROR: Device must be rooted first), then it is locked.
