Bootloader unlock allowed: YES

So..my xperia z (first one) had some problems with the back and water got in, and oRange gave me another new one back..
The thing is that the new one has " bootloader unlock allowed: yes"...
If its yes..this means that I can install a recovery without losing my waranty...and the bootloader is unlocked ? Or what

No it means that you can unlock your bootloader which will void your warranty and enable you to install custom kernels but remember to back up your ta partition before unlocking. Custom recovery can be installed on a locked bootloader anyway.

There is no flash counter to worry about with Sony phones...... Once you have unlocked bootloader your warranty is void even if you relock it.
Rooting does not void warranty.

Why?? I will relock bootloader, restore DRM keys, flash stock rom and will have same system when was when I bought the phone.
That I have "order" unlocking bootloader key doesen't mean that I did it.

Yes. But when you relock it, restore TA partition and flash stock there will be no sign that you have done it.

You may be correct... but most people will say that unlocking bootloader well void the warranty.

Yes, but you have given the imei of your device to Sony in order to get the unlock code. So if something happens to you phone and you get it at a Sony repairing center, the first thing they do is to read the imei from your device and check if it is in there database

And so?? They also have my phone in database when I bought it. I dont understand your reasoning.
I have buy a bulb yesterday. Just in case. Thats mean that I have to immediately change it??
No.
And for confirmation.
I ave do it twice.
First with my old LG GT540. (Stock -> root -> cyanogenmod (warranty off) -> flash stock without recovery, and fastboot (warranty on)
Second. Xperia SP (Stock -> root -> bootloader unlock (warranty off) -> existenz -> relocking BL -> Restoring TA -> Stock ROM (warranty on)
Both of them was rapairing without aditional costs.
End.

[Q] simple but very important question about locked and unlocked bootloader

I've recently bought a used xperia z but I'm not sure if the bootloader is locked or unlocked.
So my questions are:
1)How do I check this?
2)If the bootloader is locked does this guarantee me that the (stock) rom has not been "modified" previously?
My concerns at security related.

type *#*#7378423#*#* in the phone dialer
then service info>configuration>rooting status
we will have locked bootloader when we bought it
and no bootloader can be unlocked & relocked so don't know,or you can check if the BRAVIA Engine works on Sony Album app or not

According to this link you can but not entirely sure since I've never done it before..
If this if not the case, could you explain to me a little bit more?

It's possible to unlock and relock the bootloader without leaving any trace that it was done. You can check if it's currently unlocked by looking in the service menu. Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialler, then look in Service info - Configuration.
If you're worried just repair the phone with SUS or the PC Companion. This will completely wipe the phone and reinstall the software from scratch, therefore ensuring that nothing is tampered with.

sony do not have the data of the phones unlocked unofficially. so if you brick your phone you can relock the bootloader with TA partition and DRM keys so that you can flash stock firmware using flashtool ( or repair using PCC ). Then you can visit service center

[Q] RE-UNLOCKING Bootloader

Hey friends, I have a Sony Xperia Z device. First, i unlocked it's bootloader, then i re-locked it using the TA-partition backup. But now I want to RE-UNLOCK the bootloader to install the new Android 5.0 and I don't know how to do it. Do i need to do it in the normal way?
