You will be unable to update or repair using SEUS after unlocking that way.
You could also unlock by the test point method with the s1tool

If your phone is sim locked, then I guess you have to pay to unlock then.
Hi xda, I am a noob here needing some help on my Xperia play. I am currently using a r800at running 2.3.3 and it will not show if my bootloader is unlocked or not and I want to know if it is or if I will have to have it done for me. Here are some pictures below showing what it shows me... I have rooted it using Superoneclick successfully as well. Im looking to run Cola custom rom on it if anyone is wondering why. If anyone can be of any help here, it is greatly appreciated
Thank you have a nice day!

First off, welcome to XDA. Also first, you should edit that screenshot with microsoft paint and hide your phones IMEI #. You dont want that info out in the open. Second you can only unock the AT&T xperia play (R800at) via either alejandrissimo at unlocker.com or wotanservercom
http://www.wotanserver.com/en/sony-ericsson/se/xperia-play-r800/unlock-tool/debranding-flash
Currently wotanserver is about $10 american and it will unlock your phones bootloader and simlock, so you can use the phone with a T-Mobile or other sim card.
All the details for unlocking on here in XDA, just do a search. I hae never used alejandrissimo but have heard good things, currently though wotan server is cheaper and you can use the unlock tool from wotan to unlock your phones bootloader.
Good luck.
Are u sure Sony still don't allow unlock on r800at? They do for I aswell X now.

As far as I know SONY doesn't allow free bootloader unlocks for carrier branded phones. ...Verizon & at&t
As of bout a month or two ago Verizon users can now unlock their bootloader for free via Sony's webiste. I relocked my bootloader and tested out the code that was emailed to me from Sony and it worked.

Currently AT&T is the only Xperia PLAY that you cannot unlock for free from Sony., You must either user Alejandrissimo or WotanServer.com to unlock.
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader of the r800at from sony's website in 2014?
Hello, I recently acquired an Xperia S, I love this phone, the screen is absolutely beautiful and it has the ability to be fast ! But, I got a problem, that, apparently, even in this forum, nobody can resolve : I rooted my phone and I installed the CWM6 recovery... but now... I want to install a KitKat ROM, and to do so, I need to unlock my bootloader, unfortunately, despite the fact that my phone is sim-unlocked, my operator still have control on it because I heard that my bootloader cannot be unlocked, I can't even use the fastboot mode because of my operator stupid restrictions !!!!!! :crying: Please, you're my last hope, do someone got a solution to my problem, even a solution that is costing money, I got to use a CM10 custom rom for non-unlocked bootloaders to survive actually, I can't wait longer... Thank you !
We all want to get it.
Hey there everyone!
Let me apologize in advance if these questions have been answered before but I'm so confused right now and I don't want to brick my new Xperia Play.
I had one a year ago but my little cousin trashed it. I finally got a new one today and want to venture into the custom rom world.
The one I bought is an R800a (Manufacturing Date: 12W33) from ebay.
I used to have an R800i, which I just unlocked with the original sony website.
Now a few things that confuse me:
1.
I want to unlock the bootloader, so I looked for the Rooting Status in the *#*#7378423#*#* but noticed that it was completely missing. Is this normal? Or does this mean that my bootloader is already unlocked?
If it's of importance, I can use my German T-Mobile Sim card without a problem.
Is there a way to check if my bootloader has been unlocked already?
2.
I've read about the test point method of unlocking the bootloader. Does this work on devices where the menu point Rooting Status is completely missing?
3.
I want to use it for gaming, are there any recommendations you can make for custom roms for a 800a?
I'm leaning towards the true ancestors 4.0.4.
Thanks in advance for your help! I'll try to provide any info you need.
Edit:
By the way, I do have a working R800i board.
The only problem is that the touch screen doesn't work.
Would it be an option to exchange the boards?
EDIT 2:
Nevermind! I just tried around and unlocked the bootloader just as I did for the old R800i after seeing the message: "Bootloader status: ROOTABLE" in flashtool.
After the unlocking I rooted my phone and just followed a youtube tutorial to install lupus + ancient ancestor.
Finally I flashed the 67 baseband because my sim wasn't working.
Everything works great now.
Just wanted to let you guys know x)
How's it going folks?! I hope y'all doing good. So I've been trying to unlock the bootloader of my Vivo S1 1907 (MTK) device, but I've failed again and again. I've tried almost every method available on the internet, but none is working. I tried using ADB&Fastboot ( every method ) but it shows some sort of error each and every time. I contacted the Vivo customer support and asked them for help, they said I can't unlock my bootloader since Vivo doesn't allow it.
I wanna root my phone for some reasons, is there any way I can do it? or is there any way I could unlock the bootloader? I'd really appreciate it if you guys could help me out.
Thanks
Same problem bro
Hello,
did you manage to root the phone? I got the same model...
