Hello, I have a rooted sony xperia M and would like to unlock the boot loader is therea automatic way like framaroot, thanks
No.
But there is one similar to what you're looking for. Try Flashtool by Androxyde. You can Google it or find it in Cross-Device Development Projects for Sony Devices section.
It will only require you your unlock code, which you can get here, and it'll do the rest.
But before doing so, make sure to have a TA backup.

Hey Folks
I tried now 2 times to get on the new Firmwareversion 4.x for the Arc with root.
Every Time i tried to Unlock per OTA the Phone bricked. So the Bootloader must be open.
I don´t touched the Bootloader, but i think the Bootloader is open, because the Phone had SimLock and i unlocked the phone with SETools with Testpoint Methode.
How do I know if the boot loader can be unlocked on my phone?
It is possible to unlock the boot loader for certain releases of our 2011 Xperia™ phones, such as Xperia™ arc, Xperia™ neo, Xperia™ pro and Xperia™ PLAY. Your phone has to fulfill a number of requirements, for example, you can’t unlock the boot loader if you have a SIM lock protected phone. There are other requirements as well, depending on your market and the original configuration of your phone.

So the Bootloader must be open in a way am i right? But i can still update with PCC or SEUS the Firmware
Where can i check the Bootloader Status
Thanks in advance for Help Dudes
Setool would have unlocked the bootloader, so have a read of the unbrick thread in the dev section.

I have the latest officially firmware update for my Xperia M running on Android 4.3.
While trying to unlock my bootloader it got bricked and the Xperia boot animation kept on loading.
I followed all the steps and gave every commands to unlock my bootloader given in the official Sony developer website for my Sony Xperia device.
Since its not booting into my homescreen I gave my device to the Sony Authourised Service Centre where they are asking to replace a new motherboard.
DOES UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO THE DEVICE MOTHERBOARD?????
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
Stand by
Until then read this thread: [TUTORIAL] Xperia M Bootloader Unlocking
Good luck
Moved!
So I just got an Xperia M because I wanted a super-small device with 1 GB RAM and Sony firmware and community support (in a way, my Xperia Ray is the best smartphone I've ever had!). Turns out it's sim unlocked but bootlocker locked - it's a Bell Mobility device. I expected it to be fully unlocked so I was all excited and ready to flash 5.1 and mess around with mods. If I understand correctly, anything that requires flashing a new kernel (*.img file) is a no-go. So, I think I can get away with some 4.4 ROMs on the 4.3 kernel? What are your recommendations? Any crazy way to force unlock the BL? (there was a testpoint method on 2011 Xperias)...
I've looked in the forums and it's not really clear to me which ROMs are OK for locked bootloaders (LBL). I've seen one thread labeled LB, but I'm used to other forums where many threads are labeled LBL/UBL. It's OK if you need to moderate this question out (although I believe it might be helpful to newcomers), but can someone please answer it first or point me in the right direction?
As far as I know, you can only root it with TowelRoot (or Flashtool). Then you can tweak it with Xposed.
If your bl is unlockable, then you can unlock it via official method (google: how to unlock sony bootloader).
Hello dear members,
I have a Sony Xperia M5 variant e5606, today i searched and searched for an answers and ended up with no luck. I can't get root access because of the bootloader does not allow it, So I'm asking is there a way to flah my Sony so I can remove unwanted apps and leave it "clean"?
thank you for your time
Cheers!
You can unlock the bootloader and flash a custom kernal with root access. You will find these in the android development section for the m5

Nope can’t unlock the boot loader the phone won’t allow it. It says “bootloader unlock allowed: NO” can’t change it to YES, I have an unlock sim so I can make call with every SIM card.
Thanks for the replay
Dear XDA Community,
I have an Xperia M C1905 and I have checked the service info menu and it shows "Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock allowed:Yes" so I can unlock bootloader but I have heard that unlocking bootloader can cause the phone to bootloop. So I want to know how to unlock the bootloader, root this phone and add a custom recovery. I don't know whether I should take a TA Partition backup or not. I do own an xperia SP which I have but it is broken so the Xperia M C1905 will have to be used for the time being. Can someone from the forum show me the right links for unlocking bootloader, root, custom recovery. A set of instructions to follow since looking at the forum I got no idea which guide to follow for this phone.
Currently this phone requires the bootloader to be unlocked without causing a bootloop to happen.
It is currently running android 4.3 stock - Build Number: 15.4.A.1.9
I'm a noob at this since the last time I unlocked bootloader and added custom rom to the xperia SP was like 4 years ago.
Thread closed on OP's request.
Regards
Vatsal.
