R800x Rooted on 2.3.3 but Locked Bootloader - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a R800x with a locked bootloader, when I go into Tap Service info > Configuration, there is no option for "Rooting Status" is there anyway to still unlock my phone? The reason I want to unlock my bootloader is so I can overclock my phone.
(if it helps, my file system ver is: VERIZON_3.0.1.E.0.88)
[EDIT] I tried using the sony method, then I typed into cmd "fastboot oem device-info" and got back "FAILED"
Please help me

I've been trying to unbrick this thing for an hour, I would easily be able to flash a recovery through fastboot if the bootloader would unlock, I've done 'fastboot eom unlock' then rebooted the tablet, but it still shows as locked. Please help as soon as possible.

Relock bootloader S-on

Can't seem to find any into on relocking the bootloader with S-on
other than HTC has disabled the oem lock in 7.0
So is there anyway I can downgrade to with a TWRP backup, flash a stock recovery file relock the bootloader and then run the latest RUU to update everything or do I need S-off to downgrade the bootloader to relock?
It's not for a warranty claim, I just want to use Android pay since it works with my bank now.
I'm assuming a ***RELOCKED*** flag would pass it's security check?
I don't have sunshine since I never went S-off.

You may want to look into flashing a custom kernel, like ElementalX. Hides the bootloader unlocked status from safetynet. You'd also need to have an untouched system partition as well for Android Pay to work.
You can simply relock the bootloader, no need to downgrade. But you will have to flash a RUU >= your current version. Done it several times, it works
The command world be "fastboot oem lock". Phone needs to be in download mode, obviously...
Relock flag passes safetynet, yes.

You sure?
I've tried it 3 times with a 2.41 RUU the command does what it should, but reboot still shows unlocked.

Enable OEM unlocking option in developer options from settings. Then the command.
A breadcrumb for anybody on the same trail...
If your bootloader status is still "unlocked" even after flashing a stock RUU and passing a seemingly successful "fastboot oem lock", try removing your SD card and "fastboot oem lock" again. After a load of messing around this immediately allowed me to gain "Relocked".
I loved my HTC10 in it's heyday but I'm so over all these HTC quirks

bootloader unlock question

Hello sir. My device. Htc m9. My device already s-off...... on the boot loader screen how to s-on. & how to boot loader unlock plz sir help
You dont ever need to set s-on and you never need to lock or relock the bootloader. If your bootloader says locked or relocked and you want to unlock it then go to htcdev and follow the online instructions for unlocking the bootloader. You MUST use htcdev as that website will email you a key to flash via fastboot. You need htc_fastboot.exe too.
