[Q] HELP Unlock bootloader ???!!! (SOLVED)

Hi
I tried to unlock my Xperia Play boot loader using http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
but when use command (fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version) or (fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY)
I get this
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools>fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
commands:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip
flashall 'flash boot' + 'flash system'
flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
erase <partition> erase a flash partition
getvar <variable> display a bootloader variable
boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] download and boot kernel
flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] create bootimage and flash it
devices list all connected devices
reboot reboot device normally
reboot-bootloader reboot device into bootloader
options:
-w erase userdata and cache
-s <serial number> specify device serial number
-p <product> specify product name
-c <cmdline> override kernel commandline
I tried two PC !!! Xp and Windows 7 !!!
I need help to unlock boot loader
I have r800i sim locked free and root .
I can see the blue light ...
I install the driver ...Google USB Driver package revision 4
Thank to chevyowner
I update the FAstBoot file and its working now ...
I attach the new fastboot file

go to the folder everything is extracted to and hold left shift and right click and click on open command window here then put
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
If you see something do...
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY
Put the number sony gave you where it says KEY Then it's unlocked

you need a newer version of fastboot from what you posted
this line is missing from options
-i <vendor id> specify a custom USB vendor id

Rather than using that method I would use the lollylost tutorial in development as I found it much more straight forward.
Also make sure you type the commands correctly to the dot as putting a space or such in the wrong place will not work.

If you have got a problem with your adb or fastboot or recovery....
use this:
Download this file "fastboot.zip"
Install this file somewhere in one folder which is named "fastboot" on your PC
=> disk C: root
Unzipped this file on the folder "fastboot" and you will find 3 files:
- adb.exe
- AdbWinApi.dll
- fastboot.exe
and when you need to push something by the bootloader, you can use it.
Don't forget to push on this folder the file that you need. For exemple: boot.img or a recovery.img, etc...
The line command is :
Code:
c:\fastboot>
Enter
Code:
c:\fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Enter
If you want to flash the "recovery.img" file
******************************************************************
If you want to know all lines of command
Code:
c:\fastboot>fastboot
Code:
usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>

update <filename> reflash device from update.zip

[Q] Help after root

Hey to all!

Put the phone in the bootloader and open a command prompt in the fastboot folder on the pc, then type :
Fastboot devices
Does it come up with a serial ?

[Q] Complete noob needs help relocking bootloader

Okay so I have the One X, decided I wanted to root it even though I have NO IDEA what its all about (yes I know Im an idiot). I basically got as far as unlocking the bootloader then something went wrong and I couldnt get any further. I basically just want to relock the bootloader but I have no idea how. Like I said, Im a complete noob and need someone to really walk me through this the simplest way there is. Ps Im on a mac, which Im sure makes it even more difficult.
Any help is greatly appreciated :/

well, i don't know anything about mac, but i do know how to re-lock the bootloader under microsoft windows.
All you have to do is download FASTBOOT in any windows pc, download it from here
press and hold volume down + power button on your phone (to enter bootloader)
when in bootloader, enter fastboot mode by just hitting power key once,
now connect USB to pc and the phone
u'll see FASTBOOT PC written in your phone screen,
now go to the downloaded fastboot folder in ur pc,
hold SHIFT and Right click, Select OPEN COMMAND WINDOW HERE,
in the command window, just write : fastboot oem lock
That's it!

thanks so much for your reply. I'm gonna hold out and see if anyone can give me a mac reply but I'm gonna see if anyone I know can lend me their laptops and try what you said. thanks again

here is a thread explaining how to unlock on mac, quite simple steps
to lock the bootloader, all u need is to write ./fastboot-mac oem lock instead of ./fastboot-mac oem unlock :good:

I tried that link before and its never worked. I dont have a great understanding of Terminal and it usual gives me something along the lines of 'no such file or directory'.
Edit: I just got '-bash: ./fasboot-mac: No such file or directory'

That means that you haven't downloaded fastboot!
You need to download fastboot.exe to perform this operation.
or simply visit some friend with a windows pc and do the task

still can't get my hands on a Windows laptop :/ just moved house too so don't even have any wifi agh.

One question, do you have the Android SDK installed? I can help you with the mac since it is the same as linux
