So I followed the bootloader unlock directions but at the end when I enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x(My Key Here) it comes back:
Failed (remote: Command not allowed)
Using the previous "getvar version" line it seems like my phone is connected properly. What can I do to solve this?
Thanks!
First you need to be sure if you can unlock the bootloader or not but checking the service info.
If i remember correctly i think you have to remove one number from your key.

Yeah, I got the key from unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com. As you said, I had to discard the last digit to make it 14 characters, but the code was sent to me all the same. I'm not sure that's the issue though

Do you have bootloader unlock status= yes in service menu?
Maybe you have succeeded the unlock process,try to root it now.

Sorry, this was the problem alright. Bootloader unlock status is no. I should have checked, thanks for the help.

i try this but still same not relocked

Relocking is not yet fully and flawlessly possible.
The current method for relocking worked for some, others posted myriads about how it screwed all up. As the level of technical proficiency of those users is unknown and not really determinable, at this time is probably safe to say, it's a) up to you to try and b) may work with a certain chance or c) it may not.

There is still a possibility that it does not work with your device (right now).
If you access the service menu and look up the "Bootloader unlocked" status it should either read "yes" (unsuccessful) or "unknown" (successful) if you have used the tool.
Also note that DRM keys are not coming back, so BE2 will still be missing after a relock.

I came across this interesting post:
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/40526?start=70&tstart=0
So I decided to request an unlock key, sure enough I was sent one! But as this isn't a guide for the T I'm concerned as I heard bad things about the unlock tool on flashtool. Any thoughts?

Yes but my phone says "unlock allowed: no" so a normal guide won't work, however if an unlock key was provided I'm guessing it was unlockable from the factory then they disabled fastboot for three. So to even use the unlock key I need to change it back somehow, maybe I will try this

I guess you are allowed to unlock bootloader -_-
don't try this guide, it will hard-brick your device
If it says no, then there is no way to unlock your bootloader

hi
i try to unlock bootloader (xperia t)
but i got this error:
(bootloader) unlock phone requested
FAILED (remote: oem unlock failed!)
----the code sony dev. sent me:AE926322281A50B3- some people say this code is wrong and it should be All numbers. i did't understand what to do
please help me
the code for my previous phone which was a xperia play was numbers and letters. i don't know about t because i have bootloader unlock allowed no. also check through service menu if your phone says bootloader unlock allowed yes or no
Sent from my LT30p using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
just checked as i still have the email with my unlock code and it contains both letters and numbers and i know mine worked
are you following all the steps correctly got all the drivers etc you need installed on your pc?
i have unlocked a few xperia devices and the T was the easiest for me i remember unlocking my arc s had to remove the battery then remove a little piece of plastic and connect two "dots" together with a paperclip (was the easiest thing to use i had at the time)
the T was simply following a set of instructions that didn't require a vast amount of user work from what i remember
go back to the start of the instructions and follow them step by step make sure you have all the needed drivers and softwares etc installed
that was the testpoint method for the arc s. the only reason it was done so you don't lose drm keys

it also meant you could unlock an non unlockable bootloader (mine was locked and also network locked) i was merely saying that the T is relativly easy to unlock (if it allowed on the device) as long as you follow all the instructions and dont miss out what appears a tiny step
check your imei number just wrong coz some do not unlock
Hey guys last days im started looking how unlock my c6602 and i cant find any way that work for me
I tried doomlord way and didnt worked what i did:
1-Got my bootloader key from sony
2-connected my phone in fastboot mode to my pc
3-opend command window in the place i installed fastboot drivers
4-typed: FASTBOOT.EXE -I 0X0FCE GETVAR VERSION then enter i got VERSION:0.5
5-typed:FASTBOOT.EXE -I 0X0FCE OEM UNLOCK 0X************
6-i got that error :invalit id (0x**************)
I checked the number many times and it was currect SO WHY???
I tried flashtool to unlock and i got that (failed remote: command did not success)
Is sevice menu says bootloader unlock allowed: yes
Is there any solution for that??
Running:4.3 stock %100
EDIT: today tried again in command window AND NOW EVERY TIME I THY THAT SAYS failed remote: command did not success)!!!!!:crying:
I said this to you when you asked in the bootloader unlock thread, but you didn't respond or acknowledge my reply.
The unlock key is case sensitive. Meaning that any letters that are upper case (capital letters) must be entered in upper case. So E must be entered as E, not e.
If you don't enter the unlock key exactly how they sent it to you, it will not work.
If it still won't work, maybe you entered your IMEI incorrectly when requesting the unlock key. Try requesting it again and double check the IMEI when you enter it into the form, as a key generated for the incorrect IMEI also will not work.

And also when i request me key i put my full IMEI and click ok and its says YOUR IMei is incurrect (try delete the last charecter) is thats may the problem?
Anyway i bored of that unlocking story now im trying to get perooted rom
Well, you're definitely doing something wrong. Both Flashtool and fastboot work for unlocking the bootloader for everyone else.
From your screenshot in the bootloader unlock thread, you were entering the key with all lower case characters, which was probably wrong if you're now entering some upper case characters. Enter it EXACTLY how it is in the email.
Anyway, good luck flashing any rom without root. You'll need root to install a recovery.

Are you deliberately not reading what I'm telling you or something?
You'll need root to install a recovery to flash that rom. If you don't want to unlock your bootloader, you will need to downgrade to a 4.2.2 stock rom.

I guess I'm having the same issue as when I was trying to unlock bootloader through flashtool I used the code from Sony website generated by my IMEI, I copied it Exactly as they have sent it and flashtools response was at first Fail and when I tried to do it second time it happened to work and said 'okay' but after turning my phone on it ended up in endless loop... I tried it on 4.3 and 4.2. The bootloader unlock allowed says yes.
