Hello Guys,
Today i was about to unlock my bootloader using SE Bootloader Unlocking v1.6(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560613) but before doing so i used s1tool to identify my device.Here is the screenshot. Check my S1_EROM version it starts with "r" not "R".so it's alreay unlocked? How do i know(check) my mobile has bootloader unlocked?
I bought this mobile almost a year ago and it was brand new from stock.So not sure it's already have bootloader unlocked since i haven't unlocked the bootloader yet.I just want to know what's happening.Sorry if this question has already been asked as i am kin of noob(but have rooted and flashed ROMs using flashtool and CWM) and want to know what's the bootloader status.If anyone know how to check bootloader unlock staus it would be very kind to share as i am gonna unlock my bootloader and need to recheck if it's unlocked properly so that it won't brick my phone.

Try flashing a kernel is the obvious and simplest answer.

So if my bootloader is locked it won't let me flash custom kernel like(boot.img of cynogenmod) or it will brick my phone? You link doesn't explain anything on how to check bootloader unlock status."bootloader unlock allowed:yes" will be for those devices whose bootloader can be unlocked but it doesn't tell you if bootloader is unlocked or locked.
I simply want to unlock my bootloader.Then flash cynogenmod.I want to make sure bootloader is unlocked properly before flashing cynogenmod kernel.If flashing boot.img on bootloader locked device won't brick my phone then i am ready to go.Just need conformation on what happens if i flash custom krenel and rom in bootloader locked mobile accidentally.

When your rooting status says
"Bootloader unlock allowed: yes"
Then the bootloader is locked..
If it says
"Bootloader unlocked: yes"
Then your bootloader is unlocked..
Simply dial *#*#7378423#*#*
Then find your rooting status..
And I think you should use the official way to unlock bootloader.

HAhaaa unless that shopkeeper imported the phone,unlocked bootloader and flashed a kernel.Place where i live doesn't have authorized sony mobile distributors.So they import from somewhere.
My booloader was unlocked whole time after purchasing it.It was new when i bought but no sure now.Anyway i am satisfied with my purchase a year ago as i haven't got any problem till now except that famous house crack.
I have flashed Cynogenmod successfully.Thank you all for the help.You guys gives some courage for nervous guy like me who are tempting to do new things.
My phone says that the bootloader can't be unlocked but I want to unlock it and I don't know how to do it

If it says "Bootloader Unlock allowed: No", then it is not possible to unlock Your bootloader. Probably Your device is a Operator locked or something similar too. Also, there was no need to create a new thread, You could have simply posted in here.
Bootloader unlock of LT28AT is impossible?
--
Since the bootloader itself is a piece of software. Is it possible to flash an already unlocked bootloader on a locked phone to unlock it?
Is it possible to unlock bootloader with existing Lenovo id which I use earlier to unlock my other Lenovo P2 bootloader?
Hi there, i was trying to bootloader unlock and succesfully unlocked.
When the phone restarts i get a warning message but can this be removed ?
And is possible to relock the bootloader again?
Sry im using translate.
nobody knows I have same question
Developer.sony.com says after unlock, that oem lock is not possible.
