Hey guys, how you doing? First of all, I did searched for my problem but still couln't find a good awnser for my problem. The thing is I just bought an Xperia T factory unlocked but It came with at&t ****... I'm already using it with a different carrier and got no problems with that.
But I'd like to change my ROM and after typing this *#*#7378423#*#*, i get bootloader unlock allowed: NO. Why? As it is factor unloked why can't I fastboot it?
By the way, I'm a completely noob at this and all I know I learned here at XDA.
Hope this is the right thread and I'm not repeting someone's question. If so, I'm sorry

Because the bootloader and SIM lock are two different things.
If it says no, then you cannot unlock the bootloader

So there's no way I can unlock bootloader? What about rom's? Can I use CyanogenMOD somehow?

You can only use stock based ROMs, so none that require a custom kernel, like CM, AOKP, PA and others like that

i read somewhere that this 4X version could help with bootloader..
Hmm, has anyone tried comparing the bootloader,bin from a stock 4X to one from the developer ones, to see what if anything is different?

the lock is not in the bootloader, but only the check for a lock is. so nomatter which bootloader, you will probably get a locked bootup or unlocked depending on model.
anyways how will you compare that bootloader? i believe only wkpark extracted the bootloader from official distribution kdz file, no developer kdz exists so you can compare, and i believe bootloader allocation is not found within mmcblk0 area, so it will be hard to compare the memory.
I was thinking looking at the assembly of both and seeing what is different. It was just a suggestion that wouldn't work hahha. What im kind of looking for at the moment is a guide on 2nd init. (I cant figure out how to get it to boot.etc, i know its something to do with the DRM, i basically dont know where to get started.) other than 2nd init i am also looking at a custom stock rom....

i found that too
it means bootloader is completely issolated from the system itself
and the OS doesn't have access to bootloader or its info for that matter

could someone paste me User-Agent for developer's version please...?

It really would be nice if someone with a developer edition could go an this website and post the user agent here. :good:
Ok, so I've upgraded to 4.3 and lost my root. As far as I know, to get root on 4.3 I will need unlocked bootloader to flash custom kernel and/or ROM. Unfortunately in the Service Info / Configuration of my phone it says: Bootloader unlock allowed: NO. So here's the question: is there any method of unlocking the bootloader other than official from Sony? Looking at the Xperia Z and ZL forums looks like there isn't, but maybe someone had succeeded on the Z1?
Thanks for any information.

if that's all you have to say, you can go back to your pre-school now.
Please do some research first.
there is no way to unlock it
That's what i was afraid of. So is there a chance to root it some how?

Hey guys, so I updated my phone here and I'm trying to root the phone. I have search the web for question but none. So, I decided to do the old method way. Can I use the 4.2.2 (2.67).tft flash it to the phone and root it. And then flash back to the 4.3 (.569).tft. Thanks. Also please provide me with some links for the root.

Please use the search guys, this has been discussed in many threads all over here and the general section ever since 4.3 was released.
Currently, the only way to root after you have already flashed 4.3 is to unlock your bootloader and flash DooMLoRD's advanced stock kernel.
That's it, until somebody finds a way to root with a locked bootloader and that doesn't mean you have to post asking for it. Once someone has a breakthrough, they will publish their work here for certain.

If your bootloader is unlocked you can try this. It worked for me.

So, basically exactly what I already said. Flash DooMLoRD's advanced stock kernel and flash a superuser zip.
No need to give page views to yet another website that just reproduces guides/work of XDA members.

I'm not sure why you revived this thread that is several months old to post that.
Firstly, it's just a reproduction of information from a couple of DooMLoRD's threads from here and here on XDA.
Secondly, it directly links to his files, which is a no no.
Thirdly, there are also direct links in that article to unofficially hosted versions of Androxyde's Flashtool, which is also not polite.
Please don't push page views to places that do things like that. Thanks.

Bootloader unlocking tutorial.
However, if you just want to root, then the information supplied in this thread is out of date now. You can use towelroot to directly root your phone without unlocking the bootloader.

Hello !
Let me ask you this quick question because I did not find an answer in the different topics on the forum.
I wanted to install Cyanogen 11 (Android 4.4) on my Xperia T but I get the message "Bootloader unlock allowed: No"
So I'm wondering if it is possible to unlock the bootloader.
Thank you in advance,

You can do anything that doesn't need unlocked BL. That means e.g. flashing stock ROMs, stock-based ROMs (most of them). But you can't flash kernels!
Just read every instructions really carefully so you won't brick your phone and everything will be OK
My phone is T. Xperia T.

It's been explained in some posts by our fellow devs in some of the threads - the answer is: no root without UB, because the kernel has a so-called 'verity check', which detects any system modifications and panics if it finds one, and for this to be overcome, there are already some kernels which bypass this check, but as you know, you can't install a custom kernel without unlocking the bootloader.
However, I saw some hopeful post about M, something about an exploit being available for half-root, enough to backup your TA and unlock bootloader with the option of re-locking it afterwards without losing your DRM keys.
