Your warranty will still be void. Remember you entering your IMEI number?...Yep, logged by Sony
Thank you for your quick response - is there any way i can unlock my bootloader without sony? so I can relock and they dont notice it? (other xperia play)

Theres a user called Alejandrissimo (not sure of the spelling) who for $24 can unlock your Play remotely. Its non-profit for him as well.
Theres a few other ways to do it as well that I cannot remember.
In all fairness however, the large majority of issues with the Play can be sorted with a reset to stock firmware or just a couple of tools on eBay. Its a hardy little beast is the Play so I wouldnt worry about warranty
Ive had issues with my USB not working, phone not charging, drivers not installing, touch input screwing up etc...Solved with a firmware flash or SEUS repair
Sony shoulda called it the Sony Ericsson Xperia Honeybadger
Haha, thanks Honeybadger - nice nickname I found a way to relock, someone uploaded a ftf file. But now I am searching another way for unlocking - witout paying.. but thanks for your kind and fast help!!

you cant use download music info in walkman (that we dont have it officialy but its working in most of the ports even with unlocked bootloader)

go to service centre tell them that you were doing a 4.3 update and this happened.they wont recognise that your phone has an unlocked bootloader bcoz it doesnt start!they will replace it make sure you dont have cwm installed.

Hi all
I need to send my ZL to the Sony repair centre, as it has a serious fault.
I have a rooted phone, with an unlocked bootloader and am currently running CM10.2. Can anyone tell me how to relock? To do that, I need stock firmware, but I don't know how to flash it as I've seen warnings that I can't flash this while unlocked. The official Sony software doesn't let me update, as it recognises I'm running "modified software."
I've downloaded the latest flashtool, but that's it so far. All help appreciated and yes, I have looked but couldn't find anything that wasn't conflicting information.
Thanks guys.

After flashing the .ftf you can also use flashtool to relock your BL.
If you're in EU, you can send your device to service center even if you previously unlocked the BL.
According to European Union law, Sony has to prove that your problem occured as a result of the unlocked BL..
And even if you're not in EU, just try and send it in. Depending on the problem, they often don't check BL and DRM status..

Hi there,
I have a network unlocked Z1C which came from o2. The bootloader unlock allowed status is No but the phone is rooted. Is there anything I can do to this to unlock it? I feel like trying CM on it
Thanks!

If your bootloader unlock allowed status is no then you will most likely never be able to unlock that phones bootloader. I think your best bet is to contact O2 and tell them you want a phone on which the bootloader is unlockable, perhaps they can give you a special key to unlock the functionality, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Oh and don't try CM on it, it'll just bootloop and you'll have to use SUS or PC Companion to restore a working OS.
...actually there is one hope, but it requires dismantling the phone. There is a test-point behind the battery which might enable you to put the device into a mode where it'll accept a command allowing bootloader unlock. But again, high risk, not sure if it's actually possible, easier to just sell the phone and buy an unlockable one if you want to run CM. Maybe you could even return the device, how long have you had it?
my z1c just turned up and ive got an bootloader unlock allowed :victory::victory::victory:
I have locked bootloader on EE in UK and have found that many of the tweaks I wanted can be achieved with Xposed modules. Give it a try but backup before you start.
Need a opinion by a dev
Hello there,
I was thinking about a test.
My problem is "Unlock bootloader allowed : no".
What could happen if i restore an other TA partition with "Unlock bootloader allowed : yes". I erase the old by a new one which unlockable. All i need is a TA partition build with a z1c which unlockable and the unlock code.
What do you think ?
Soory for my bad english
If you replace your ta partition it will most likely hardbrick your device.
What is a ta partition, i don't understand.
A bootloader is like a bios on motherboard.
But it is locked by a code.
The bootloader is the same on each z1c no ?

Flashing another phone's TA will hard brick yours, every TA is related to the phone which comes from
