Hello XDA, I've got a rooted Xperia Play running the Xperia NXT ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649368). I would like to unlock the bootloader and boot into fastboot mode but when I enter *#*#7378423#*#* and check the Bootloader status, I see "Bootloader unlock allowed: No". I've heard there is a way around this, could someone help me? I'd love to install the doom ICS kernel on my phone and a new ROM. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Phone is AT&T, R800i, and I also know what my IMEI number is

Xperia Arc LT15i
Rooted/Unlocked BootLoader
Jellybean - FXP132/CM10
Good Afternoon,
I want to install cyanogenmod 10.1 on my xperia arc S. tried to follow a tutorial, but when it came to the part of booting the device in recovery mode I found that my bootloader was locked. Apparently, on the Rooting Status it says: bootloader unlock allowed: NO. So, my question is, what should I do in order to unlock the bootloader and install the cyanogenmod. thank you vm for your time.

I'm pretty sure that if you are not allowed to unlock it, there is no way to unlock it.
Edit: Ok maybe i was wrong. Take a look at this Thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102783

Check if you wrote the code correctly.
I too have a Sony Ericsson (pro) with bootloader unlock allowed: NO. I've scoured the Web and only come up with this site http://www.wotanserver.com/en/sony-ericsson/xperia-pro-mk16/unlock-tool/debranding-flash
Which claims that if I pay 7.99 euros I'll be able to unlock my bootloader. My question is what am I paying 7.99 for? What does this service give that can't be found out for free?

i dont be rude bro, but i had this situatzion atleast over 20 times here with friends or others from my country (then i done the job over teamviewer lol, what a pain in ass)
theres a simple calcultion which allways was right for me:
- service menu says: bootloader unlocked allowed: YES [x] (check:good
- installed all the drivers & stuff properly
(you say that cmd tells you device is connetced, so [x](check:good
if its then still not working, ITS 100%:
a human (your) fault.
- maybe request wrong code (99%)
- ???
i say that because i have friends which telled me same thing. they said "i read it thrice & requested code more than 5 times...... bla bla" - & those a were mostly smart people. (no n00bs)
guess what, after triyng help them for hours (!) over internet, i go to them next day & unlocked phone in 5 mins. lol
i dont know what they doing wrong. or why its not working. i only know if you do it carefully,patiently, read all & DO IT EXACTLY like stated it allways works. because its my way & it allways worked (even they say they done it same.)
but keep in mind that maybe your carrier locked it in some way. here in my country its not allowed for carriers. but idk how its in yr country

As per my knowledge if the status is "NO" then u cannot unlock the bootloader.
Hello Gens2Rasta,
There is no way right now to unlock the bootloader on a phone with the "Bootloader unlock allowed: No" status right now. My only advise would be that you should contact your carrier and ask them if it's possible for them to change the status of your phone so that you can unlock the bootloader.
Have a great weekend,
