[Q] Bootloader Unlock on[ factory unlocked] Phone

I think my phone had sim lock before i bought it, because it had 2.1 on it.
So i want to unlock the bootloader. In many threads about that i read:
Unlocking the bootloader of your phone will restore the original sim lock of your phone (if you had any) unless if you unlocked with EMMA/IMEI unlock code or it was factory-unlocked or if SE unlocked it!.
However, some users have reported that using msm7227_semc.cmd on their sim-unlocked phones did not restore the sim lock onto their phone. This has not been confirmed as of yet. Unlock the bootloader on your sim unlocked phone AT YOUR OWN RISK!

so is that confirmed now and how safe is it to unlock it. which tool can i use?

Ahem, hi, just wanted to point out that the quoted text you provided us with says it's unconfirmed. It will probably be safe but its unconfirmed if the sim-lock is restored

If your phone came factory unlocked (no SIM lock by default) then s1tool should tell you "no SEMC simlock certificate found"...
Align that information with the unlock thread in the dev section and you should have your answer (that you can unlock).

really? great so i can safely unlock the bl.?
is flashtool good for that.
with factory unlocked i meant that it had no simlock when i bought it. maybey it had one before because it had 2.1 not the original 1.6 on it and the sellin package was sealed with a sticker of an german provider. so i think it was unlocked and sold as a kind of remaining stock

See this thread and carefully read through the steps dealing with "if you had SEMC simlock certificate".
EDIT: If you are having problems with the lousy English of that guide contact me by PM - I can talk German as well.

11w29+ is RISKY. Just because a couple of people have unlocked theirs does not minimize the risk. you were very lucky.
on topic: google is your friend here. afaik, setool2 is an option if you want to go by the paid route.

[Q] [q] unlocking bootloader for xperia x8/w8 11w30

HI, I am using W8 Walkman 11W30 and wanted to UNLOCK BOOTLOADER. I Iooked out many guides for how to unlock my bootloader and all say that 11W29+ cannot do it.
I rooted my phone and installed CM7 rom GingerDX V030 seamlessly having a stock kernel using CWM.
When I dial *#*#7378423#*#* it does nothing and the number vanishes instantly when i dial the last letter "*"
When i bought my phone it did'nt have a SIM lock.
I am confused if my phone's bootloader is locked or unlocked.
One more thing....when i use s1tool (by the_laser) and press IDENTIFY button it recognise my device....and says SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE.
Is it possible to UNLOCK BOOTLOADER for my W8 Walkman 11W30?

you should have read through the stickies first. it's probably a hard brick. but try to charge it for a few minutes and see if it boots or shows any signs of life. if not, sorry.
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
Oh.i got brick my phone.

Forget about unlocking the bootloader, its not possible. No over/under-clock for you, no CyanogenMod or other goodies.
All carrier branded phones are locked and almost impossible to unlock.

is there chance to have -Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No - when my phone is from shop ? ( not from carrier, not branded)
I think that it's not the matter of branded/not branded etc. beacuse I've seen bootloader unlock allowed: yes after I rooted and installed CWM and TWRP; today I've reverted rooting via SPC and the bootloader unlock allowed is back on: no; so I think someone has to look through it to see if you can override it...

I doubt the Sony bootloader will be cracked any time soon as the Xperia T was never cracked and thats a much older device.
Unfortunately that means no custom kernels/CyanogenMod.
If you buy a factory unlocked device the bootloader will be unlockable/carrier branded devices may be locked and not unlock able.. Pretty simple really.
Sorry that I can't help much.
Un-lock Xpeia SP
If you Un-lock the Xperia SP for all Networks, does this make bootloader Unlock available?
If not, any Ideas why?

Nope. SIM-UNLOCK is separate to bootloader unlock.
It just doesn't.
On some old xperia phones you could open sim and bootloader like xperia arc if you used test point method to unlock sim it unlocked boot loader as well.
2013 xperia models that don't have removable battery are no longer able to use test point so you can't unlock boot loader or sim.
To unlock sim you need code which you cab buy from internet.
To unlock bootloader you need to contact your airtime provider and see if they will help in unlocking bootloader again this needs code but not freely available.
