I am in the market for an Xperia T, but I wanted to know if all of the T's have an unlocked bootloader and if not, is there a way to ascertain how a bootloader is unlocked if I were to purchase one online? I know of the code to check it, but I'm not sure sellers want to check for me.
Thanks for your time guys.

Hi,
As most of us already got XPERIA S and/or XPERIA T/TX, we know that after unlocking the bootloader BE is stop working.
Now, what about Z, is it the same? Can anyone with unlocked bootloader confirms if it's working or not?
Thanks
AW: Is BE2 working with unlocked bootloader?
And another thread by a user not using the search function. Thank you very much, not.

I am sure it will be possible, you know how great the devs are. This is a new device so give it sometime. You should follow that thread as the OP
keeps it up to date. I am planning to unlock it because of the ugly UI by Sony plus for Cyanogenmod.
For HTC phones I've always noticed that they release the dev. edition which comes with an unlocked bootloader and is therefor rootable. Then it must be true that the regular release comes with a locked bootloader, is there generally a fast update where someone finds a way to unlock it or is the best bet to just buy a dev edition?

In the US unlocking the bootloader from a phone you get from at&t etc. is not completely legal: .. that being the reason why they sell the htc one dev version there!
You can unlock the phone via htcdev though It's simple and officially from htc :victory:

WRONG. Please do not spread incorrect information.
Unlocking a bootloader on ANY DEVICE OR CARRIER in the USA is 100% LEGAL.

I remember reading somewhere that the HTC One X+ was given extra restrictions by AT&T so it was harder to unlock. Can you have a bootloader sent to a website/company to have it unlocked for a small fee?

No because if HTC dev is'nt avaliable to unlock bootloader than it's uasally xda folks that crack the bootloader and most xda folks share the unlock, plus if only some small company can crack the bootloader for a fee, the development would'nt be very good
Hi guys, I have a C6906 from Rogers that I SIM unlocked for AT&T. I checked and the bootloader is locked, is there any way to by pass the lock or is it totally locked for good?

If you're talking about a "bootloader unlock allowed: no" related issue, then your only possible solution involves the test-point above the battery (as outlined in this post) and some custom software by the developers of SEtool, and I have no idea if this will actually work, but most likely nothing else ever will.
Hello all, my question is simple, i'm starting with the history of bootloader and sony brand.
And I want to know if anybody know how to hack the bootloader or other methode to bypass Bootloader allowed NO.
My Sony xperia is Sim Locked with SFR but i can unlock it, even if it changes nothing ( i think ^^).
Thank you for all.
Ps : don't be hard with me, i'm starting.

No. There's currently no way around it and probably never will be, unfortunately.

No. Sony will not change your bootloader as their customer (your operator) is the one that requested a non-unlockable bootloader for their devices. So, they will direct you to your operator and they will not have the means to unlock it for you even if they wanted to.
