I think testpoint unlock will work

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.

Can I flash a kernel on my mobilephone (r800a) rooted/locked bootloader? Is there any other way that I can do it? (Cannot unlock bootloader btw)
You can't. You need an unlocked bootloader for that.

Probably your bootloader is unlocked.

Connect your phone to flashtool and click on BLU option, if it shows Relock bootloader then yours is unlocked.

That just means that you can unlock it doesn't mean that it's unlocked check with flashtools on the unlock bootloader option

Has anyone tried the King root method for 6.0? When I Check if root is available it says a method was found I just don't want to risk my phone breaking again
Interesting in curious if this works please update
Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk
They have mentioned more than once that root access cannot be obtained on MM unless the bootloader was unlocked !
So, don't get hopes on something that cannot be done ?
