Blocked bootloader - Sony Xperia M

Hi, yesterday i rooted my new M single sim, but I want more. For flash I must have unlocked bootloader (<= I'm sure?) but in software configuration is write I can't do this. What now? Is any way to jump over it, and flash M with blocked bootloader? Or maybe can I unlock bootloader but other way? I think the answer is no, and that is solution why in forum xperia m is maybe 10 roms :c.
Ps. I'm really sorry for my English.

I have XM 1904 SS allowed to unlocked bootloader..
in you configuration status the status said no, then there is no way to unlock your bootloader(As per my information)where are you from and which carrier?

I'm from Poland and I have my phone in Orange <~ name of carrier.

Now i have 15.1.C.2.8

So guys if u buy a phone that is locked to certain carriers thus means that the bl is locked and not unlockable and if u buy a SIM free phone the bl is locked but unlockable. Is this right + I am newbie so still learning.

I bought a SIM free c1905 and my bootloader is unlockable I think certain networks lock them fully but there must be a way to get round it might just take time

Even If the status says that unlocking is not allowed you can try once.
Nothing bad in that.
I even read somewhere in xda that sometimes not allowed bootloader too get unlocked.
You may follow Up this guide to try to unlock : GUIDE

What do you mean "then what"?
Then that means that what you said is not always true, for example you can have a sim-locked phone with an unlockable bootloader and a sim-unlocked phone with a non-unlockable bootloader.

OK mate thanks for answering my question

You can use omnius for the arc s but it will cost some money.

See the first link I gave you.
First link applies only to Arc, not recommended for Arc S.
I am new Arc S owner aswell now, also interested in unlocking via test point method, however I see information that LT18 is not supported by this method. Can someone tell me the real truth?

Bootloader unlock is independent of any firmware on the phone. It is also SEPARATE from SIM/network unlock. Your phone does NOT have to be rooted. SIM unlocking your phone does NOT unlock your bootloader. Flashing your phone does NOT SIM unlock or unlock your bootloader. (However, when you unlock your bootloader with the paid method, the SIM/network unlock is also removed.) SIM/network unlocking is ONCE and PERMANENT and not affected by any firmware.
This works for ANY 2011 Xperia: arc/s, PLAY, neo, neo V, pro, mini, mini pro, ray, active, Live with Walkman.

If S1Tool is from SETool I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Contact with T-mobile to unlock the bootloader. You might have to pay for it.
If you can't, you only have the options for locked bootloader ROMs. CWM is there as well with many mods

BL unlock allowed:no on unsimlock device?

Hi there,
I got my ZL few weeks ago, It was sim-locked. and it locked to Bell Canada.
I was bought a code from cellunlocker, and successfully unlocked my zl. After that, I tried to unlock the bl, it wasn't working
so, I check the status of BL, it says unlock allowed no, why? I used to have xperia s, the bl unlock allowed says yes after unsimlock, but why zl not?
Anyone got the same situation? Is it any solution on this thing?
Guys, talk about your operator and your device status:laugh:

uhh..this isn't work for me...
My firmware updated last night which is 1.1.A.1.253, I lost root and I have no idea how to degrade to 434 without lost userdata.
I did try flashtool to flash 434 again, but when os is getting start, just pop up a windows says updating NFC blablabla... and it reboot and again , dead loop...
Is that false status will become normal after flash ftf with wipe data?

Did u wipe ur cache when u flash the 434? If i'm not mistaken if u hv bootloader lock do not wipe cache if u flashing rom it may boot loop but I may mistaken about this.
Have u test repair feature in PC companion after that if successfully booted, try degrade ur rom with flashtool without wiping cache but i'm not sure whether u need root to flash ftf using flashtool. Many people in Z successfully downgraded to 434 actually but not sure via what.

Before unlock BL don't forget to backup your TA.
I did not, and now I lost my certificade for ever.
So here is a tip, do that backup (TA) it's very easy to do.
Good luck!

[Q] On Screen buttoons on xperia s or sl for official 4.1.2 (how?)

Hi everybody !
i just updated my xperia sl from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 ! I want to use on screen buttons rather than its default capacitive buttons.
how can i do that ?
I think its not possible without rooting so is there any idea to root the latest official ROM of sony xperia s or sl ?
thanks in advance !
Yes it would be great, but as I searched the web currently there is not root for Xperia S JB yet. Keep waiting devs won't make us wait for a long time

Just add this to your build.prop at the end -
Code:

Save it and reboot. It works 100%, I tested it myself

Well Doom has clearly stated that this rom can be flashed on locked bootloader too. All he needs right now is stock ics with CWM installed and then he can flash the rom
Plus cwm is available even for locked bootloader now
But CWM is not fully working. And it's outdated version.

Yes, u r exactly right, before updating via SUS, to install pre-rooted JB, I had tried with installed CWM(locked bootloader, stock ICS 4.0.4) downloading that ROM but CWM didn't work properly. Isn't there any other way to get root acess till now @ 6.2.B.0.200 (locked bootloader)?

[Q] My bootloader is unlockable?

Hi friends.
Just today i`ve unlocked the Network on my Xperia S after a long time waiting for unlock code, but i've seen that even with network unlocked i can't unlock the bootloader.
I've done something wrong?, i need to do anything else? or maybe is impossible to unlok bootloader?
I've attached the screenshots.
Thanks!!
Its not allowed to unlock bootloader .
I think you may need to talk with Sony Supoort team .
