This may be a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyways.
I have an Xperia ZL that was purchased from bell. I know it has a locked bootloader that cannot be unlocked through the official Sony tool, so i'm wondering if it can be unlocked with the flashtool posted elsewhere in the ZL forums?
If so that would be awesome.
If not, I'll be supremely unimpressed with Sony.
Thanks in advance!

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.

I read about it in the forums a while ago and I believe so, but a few weeks after the newer Xperia phones get the update. (I read that from somewhere, but not sure if it is true.
EDIT:
From another user's forum, I guess the Ion might not get it after all. Shame on AT&T. Here is the original forum.

Yea just ATT said they will not update it but I bet they know we can flash the other ftf's as well. This could be a good thing as maybe Sony will give us a unlock soon. I would think we should see a JB for Ion soon as its starting to roll out to the first ones in line.
Rogers will be last I imagine haha sloowww
