i noticed now that i can unlock my bootloader using flashtool.
is it the testpoint method?
dont think so i tried it and it took me to sonyericsson site. just do test point its easy just follow procedure carefully. plus you keep drm keys and can restore just by running restore through s1 tool.
I thing the Unlock bootloader in Flashtools is for X10 ....2011 models can do it via sony's unlock bootloader site ....

Hi Friends,
I'm trying to unloack my Z1C using the latest verson of flashtool and after connecting it in flashmode it will not display the window showing model numbers and display a window asking to switch off and connect again in flashmode.
I've tried it on 3 PC's, still not unlocked the Bootloader. What is the difference between unlocking bootloader from Sony official method and Flashtool method. Please guide me.
Regards
Shashi
Iirc the first unlock has to be done the official way, then you can (re)lock using flashtool. And the correct drivers have to be installed of course.

Try unlocking the bootloader with the testpoint method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187172
Xperia Play test points: http://i.imgur.com/bY6qdBh.jpg
I have "Bootloader unlocke Status: No" as well, but this method worked for me. But since it won't have fastboot, you will need to flash custom kernels via Flashtool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739559
But if that doesn't work, then get yourself rooted and install this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler&hl=en
This will install a custom recovery which will allow you to flash ROMs that allow locked bootloader.
so wait, to unlock the bootloader on an R800at you have to take the phone apart??? (thought it would be like on an HTC Evo V when I had to short 2 contacts with a paperclip, the contacts were exposed when you removed the battery cover....
I'm unable to unlock my Xpeira M Single Sim Bootloader. I have checked in the service menu that it is unlockable and I also have a unlocking key but when I connect my phone in flashmode it says that "Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked". What should I do?

You might want to take a look at this video "How to install Android Lollipop in Xperia M (CyanogenMod 12)" from Xperia M Tweaks on youtube. Just follow the steps till bootloader unlock and leave out the rest. Hope this helps.

Hi my Sony Xperia xa2 say bootloader unlock no is there anyway to force software or at least root with out unlock bootloader thanks
This is not possible. In order to flash anything to the device, the bootloader must be unlocked. The whole point of the bootloader lock is to prevent flashing anything; firmware is updated via OTA.
