Hi everyone,
maybe this is a wrong place to post this but im getting desperate.
How can i unlock my bootloader (xperia arc s). But the major problema is when i go to details menu it says this:
bootloader unlock allowed - no
And as far as i search all people says i cant unlock it....
If someone can help me i really aprreciate. or at least tell me some good room for my phone.
I need to give it a new life. Start to close and reboot very often... and right now i dont whant to spend money in other device
Thank you all for the support.
As it says - you are not allowed to unlock the bootloader AFAIK
If you try to attempt the usual unlock bootloader, you'll get hard brick

So basicly im stuck with the phone as it is? I cant install good rooms or whatsoever? what a shame :/
Really appreciate your feedback.
thanks.
You can root your phone and install some roms with the ability to install on a locked bootloader - but most of them are GB or ICS. If youre looking for JB or KK you're out of luck

Hi everyone ! I have a Xperia Arc LT15i and I found out using *#*#7378423#*#* that I cannot unlock bootloader (Bootloader unlock allowed: No). How I can unlock my bootloader because I want a ROM like CM9 or JJ's Hybrid and it`s must to have bootloader unlock. Please help me with unlocking the bootloader, or please help to find a ROM like CM9 without unlock my bootloader. I want to say that I am not very skilled Waiting for more tips.
download flashtool then Plug in > unlock bootloader
it will guide you to sony's web page, copy paste the code and let flashtool unlock it
Actually JJ's ROM doesn't require an unlocked boot loader.

If you have bootloader unlock allowed:no standing, then you can't unlock it with Sony service, because your IMEI number is then 15 symbols long, so no way for unlocking bl without paying for services like setool

Hi,
If you have bootloader unlock allowed:no , you can unlock it with Omnius :laugh:, but is not free, 15€/unlock .
I unlocked my LT15i with Omnius, I had "unlock allowed:no" before.
So .. I can't unlock my bootloader, only if I paid :crying:
Setool & Omnius links?
you guys got any links related to this Omnius and Setool things? or other alternatives for Xperias stating that unlocking bootloader is not allowed?.. I had thought that if they say so, it was just impossible to unlock...
Unlock for free

just go here unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com
I'm starting to get angry I said and ludz179 in answer above you I can not unlock the bootloader so because the Service Info says Bootloader unlock allowed: No
was only giving info you say your phone says cannot unlock boot loader then from wat iv seen there is no way to unlock it.
but there is lots of roms out there that run well on none unlocked bootloaders and using new flashtool seems easy plus using DooMLoRD to root the phone .. I think the only way to do it would be to send it to sony service to unlock but knowing them you go no chance
just trying to help thats all
Can't help enquiring.You mention that there are several roms that are available which does not need to have the bootloader unlock.Could you give me the links please.

Sorry,found it.2 threads down.Thank you.
I just check my ZL and it says Bootloader Unlock Allowed - NO
Does that mean I will never be able to unlock the bootloader and install custom ROMS? I have my phone rooted and its also SIM free if that matters. Would someone be kind enough to explain the consequences?
TIA

Don't worry mate (if initially your "BL unlock allowed" was "yes")! I read it in the XZ rooting thread that if you root with a locked BL then you might have a bug resulting into BL unlock status to not allowed. Doomlord has also posted a fix for this, i think. Have a look at this thread. Hope it helps.

The thing is, I didn't check if I was allowed to unlock my bootloader before I rooted it (banging my head against a wall as I type this). Any way to find out?
EDIT: Nevermind, I see that I have to flash it and if I had an unlockable BL, the status changes to yes, and if not, then nothing changes. However, how do I flash this seeing as how there is no CWM out yet?
AW: Bootloader Unlock Allowed - NO!!
There is CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39157612
But just for unlocked bootloader...
CWM for locked bootloader would be coming... krabapple is working on it...
hi mates,
if unlocking BL, i will lose BE2 & WM right? sr if this noob question was answered before
AW: Bootloader Unlock Allowed - NO!!
Yes, you loose that functionality.
And please don't ask the same question in several threads. Ask once and have patience until someone replies.
I have Xperia Z LTE C6603 with
bootloader unlock allowed:No
I Can change this to --> bootloader unlock allowed:Yes ?
as I can change it ?
Thanks.
As subject says has there been any progress in being able to unlock the bootloader when it says "NO" on the phone ?
I really like my Xperia S, but I'm getting increasingly frustrated by Sony's snailpace updates. I'd love to put CM10.1 on it but currently have no way to :crying:
Thanks
Sorry, friend , but I don't think its possible.

I've heard that there might be small chance of unlocking fastboot by removing the netlock. However, I'm not sure. For some people, it was just necessary to flash another ftf...
BTW, I have the same problem as you and if I find a solution, I'll let you know...
Only SONY authorized service can do that for you, but there is a chance they won't.
Is it possible for me to Install real ROMs to my Xperia Play R800x CDMA with a locked bootloader? I'm not talking about ROMs like Cola6, i mean stuff like AuroraPlay and stuff(Of course for CDMA). I understand i can't install custom kernels with the Locked bootloader and my bootloader can't be unlocked, so are there any ROMs that are possible to be installed to a CDMA XPlay that doesn't need a custom kernel? I would very much appreciate it! Thanks!
As if now the only actual rom tjat can be installed on a locked bootloader (from xperiance) is darkforest 3.0.5 which is verizon 2.3.3 and why can't you unlock the bootloader I got my code for unlocking from sony copied it and used flashtool to unlock my bootloader

I can't unlock my bootloader because the *#*#7378423#*#* menu has the option missing meaning it isn't possible. I wish i could because it would be so much better and i don't understand why some of these phones aren't possible and some are.

To be honest I never read the instructions on the sony site, I do not know what that menu will tell me if I flash a factory firmware. I do know that my R800x has been unlocked. It will not hurt to ignore step 1 there and follow the rest. If it works you have unlocked your bootloader. If not it only took about 5-15 mnutes.

Yes you can unlock it, verizin locked that part so we weren't able to think that we ever could inlock the boot loader, sony supports the unlocking if the cdma xperia play, I unlocked mine by gettjng the code to unlock and usinf flashtool while connected to the internet

i heard that it isn't possible to unlock the bootloader after the date 12w11.. mine is built in 12w36 so no way to unlock the bootloader.
if i use this video (unlocking via testpoint) it works? Because in description is standing if there is standing bootloader unlock allowed: no you have to root it at first!?
mine is rooted and there is still standing no so can i unlock my phone with testpoint!?
A friend has the xperia arc (lt15i) and a guy from Handybörse (so it's called in germany) unlocked his bootloader but at phone were standing 12w24 !?
i dont know how he unlocked it but it works and before there were standing no and now there is standing yes??
So i can unlock my lt18i with this video (sorry its in german but i think everybody know what this programm is and what it means)??
Thank you guys
Hope for fast answers!!

No, you are one of the unlucky ones, who can not unlock bootloader at all.
Removing sim-lock/branding does not allow you to unlock your phone, because fastboot is disabled and only way to enable is via test point method, which is impossible at the moment for the phones manufactured 12W11.
ohhhhhh...
but it worked at the arc from a friend...
there was standing unlock allowed no and he disabled sim/netlock and there stand bootloader unlock allowed yes..
manufactor at 12w14 :/
so i dont know

Mine is also after 12w11 and I unlocked official but I had a badblock @Sahaab also couldn't unlock his bootloader so dude face we are stuck with a locked bootloader if you want a newer android version buy a more recent phone

the bootloader isnt the problem. but i want to flash any kernel to overclock my phone. but i think this isnt possible on my device so ill forget it. i dont want a better android version. i only want to use my gingerbread roms faster and use all of them. thats why..
im happy enough if i can flash kernel
But to flash custom kernel, you need to unlock your boot loader, which is impossible unless you get rid of the carrier lock.
