There is still no way.
If your goal is root or/and stock based roms then locked bootloader isnt problem.

I'm quite new to meddling around with phones, but after reading around, it seems that to get the most out of your phone, or for more advanced options, you must root it or unlock the bootloader.
So I have a few questions....
If when I go to configuration information it says "Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No" does that mean I can't root my phone, or install custom ROMs?
What does unlocking the bootloader really get me?
Will it void my 1 year warranty? Or is there a way I can still send it in if anything was to go wrong? Maybe re-lock the bootloader?
Do I need to unlock my phone to flash a kernal?
Thank you!
First, I'd recommend to you to read this thread.

You can flash custom ROMs/kernels, etc.

You can relock your bootloader, but only to receive OTA's or to use PCC or SEUS.
But you'll void your warranty!

Nope. Bootloader unlock allowed: no means no current way to unlock it.
BTW search for this next time please as it has been discussed ad nauseum.
Hi everyone, yesterday I bought Arc S and it is sim locked.
My question is: If I root it or even unlock its bootloader put custom rom, kernel, etc., will this become problem for the unlocking the network? I will get my arc s to a service so i don't want to have problems.
P.S. on Service info/configuration it says: BL unlock allowed: No .... So if my network is unlocked will i be able to unlock the BL?

Probably not according to all those that have got their Phones back from a Service Centre.
Ty all
I'm really interested if someone with simlock can get access to the bootloder without paying for unlock service. I look several days in the internet and didn't find a way for that

Because there isn't one.
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.

I'd just wait for it to come back up . The other way is to pay $25 for the Sunshine app but I believe you need root on your device first then they unlock the bootloader but to get root you need to unlock the bootloader. See the dilemma?
