You can't unlock bootloader if your device service info says "bootloader unlock allowed:no"

I was reading on the Sony forums a while back that you can. It was in the support for the Z forum so I don't know if it will work on the M. If the phone is locked to a network (the most common form of bootloader unlock:no) and you unlock it and THEN flash an unbranded firmware the bootloader status will change from no to yes. That post was made by a Sony support person too, but as I said, I have no idea if it would work on the M.

Hello New-Moderr,
You could contact Sony Support and ask if they could change the status of your phone after you've unlocked the sim of it. That might just do the trick, some people have reported that Sony will do it.

According to
http://androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/
If it says the Bootloader unlock allowed is NO the bootloader is already unlocked is that right ?
That can't be right because mine is looked to orange and also says 'no' for boot loader unlocking and i have installed a bug fix update OTA and 2.3.4 via pc companion which would both brick a phone with an unlocked boot loader and mine downloaded fine.
Mine said no to unlock bootloader and was locked on o2 but I paid to have the sim unlocked and the bootloader for a small price of a web site, its a 100% safe and also you can still do OTA updates with out a brick.

Use jinx13 on this website, he unlocked my play, he will provide you with all the software you need, he does the unlock remotely using teamviewer, all you need is a paperclip.

No not at all, you don't need to sim unlock your device before you unlock the bootloader. Infact one of the features you get with the paid unlock method is, it will sim unlock your device too. So paying for a sim unlock first is a waste of money.

I looked every were and im sure every unlocking bootloader method was you had to have your sim unlocked first. If I new that I wouldnt of payed and I would of done it my self.

I'm serious, i know there is alot of conflicting information right? But the deal is, factory unlocked phones can use the official bootloader unlock method. Sim locked phones, even if you get the sim unlocked, it does not unlock fastboot, thats why you need the testpoint method, and a sim unlocked device defo isnt required for that, because my device was still locked to o2 when i got my bootloader unlocked.

Ok lol I looked at to much conflicting info then. I knew I should of just tried it. Do you still get OTA updates with out bricking?

He unlocked my bootloader and sim within 15 minutes. I don't think you need to unlock the sim first because mine was a r800at and everything was locked to begin with.

If you think you can unlock your bootloader using the unlock method your self then do so but you wont be able to do OTA updates but if you pay you will be able to do OTW updates.

Yes most probably but first type *#*#7378423#*#* check in configuration> rooting status> bl unlock allowed=
If yes you can unlock it for free
If no ( I think in your case) then you'll have to pay for it

You can always check out google search,
just type in your phone model, version, ect ect ect..... and search for rooting your phone, usually you have to root your phone before you can unlock the bootloader. you might want to also see if you have to have a seperate recovery program loaded up but im not sure about your phone, once again all that info can be look up on google search or yahoo, bing, whatever you use it will all have the same info.

From what I understand, only certain devices can be unlocked and flashed with a custom ROM.
Is there a way to find out if a new xperia M will be unlockable? Something on the package maybe?

Yup ther is a way, follow this guide :
1. Open your phone app.
2. Dial *#*#7378423#*#*
3. A service menu should open up
4. Go into service info
5. Go into configurations
6. Look under rooting status
7. Read what is says after bootloader unlock allowed:
8. If it says yes, then follow this guide provided by sony to unlock your bootloader http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com. On the other hand, if it says no, then you cannot unlock your phone's bootloader.
Hope this helped

I'm not sure about over the air updates. However you can update your phone through PC Companion if it is rooted but the bootloader is NOT unlocked, and you can also flash an ftf onto the phone using flashtool if your phone is rooted even if the bootloader is unlocked.
There is also several methods of rooting 4.3, one of the easiest being towelroot as it is a one click root app for use on your mobile and it has the remount reboot fix enabled so you don't have to worry about that.

In the dialer type *#*#7378423#*#* (*#*#SERVICE#*#*) and click on Service Info and the Configuration. Under rooting status you will see a string of text. If it says Bootloader unlock allowed (either yes or no, it doesn't matter) your device has a locked bootloader. If it says Bootloader unlock: Yes then you have an unlocked bootloader.

Not at all, there are many root methods available for 4.3 now. The most effective is towelroot, if you download the most recent version from the website (do this from your phone as it is an apk) you don't even have to run the remount/reboot fixer as it is embedded into the app.
I have rooted my phone XMD its now 4.2 how can I update it to 4.3??
