Hi all
This is my first Sony phone.
Got it on EE as they did a great offer.
But it turns out that means I cannot unlock my bootloader.
Will flashing the stock UK firmware change this to allow?

I unlocked my bootloader using the sony unlocking process. As it was saying my phone couldn't be updated due to modified software, I flashed a stock uk unbranded rom on to it (mine phone is a 6602 bought in Qatar, but the firmware says it's for a 6603).
I then used the flashtool to lock my bootloader. When I check the service settings it now says that unlocking the bootloader is now showing as no. Reading another thread that said by using the SEUS to repair your phone it's possible to change it back to yes, I tried it, but SEUS says that it there is no software available for my phone. Sony Update Engine doesn't have software available for my phone'
Anyone able to get my bootloader unlocked again?

Hello. I want To flash 4.3 Stuck Rom For my Xperia TX. Its Unlocked . Should I relock it Or something else ?
please tell me
Unlock is Unlock bootloader or unlocked to work with all sim?
If you have unlocked bootloader just do it next step:
If you want to flash it with Flashtool, you don't need to lock your bootloader.
If you ask for update with Pc Companion or Update Service, furst lock your bootloader and then try.
Best regards.
I am currently in quite a conundrum, and was hoping one of you guys could help me out.
I recently bought a Xperia Z c6616 From Bell Canada and was under the understanding that the bootloader was unlocked, but to my (not so much (considering its bell)) surprise, it listed me as no under the configuration tab in the services menu (as mentioned on the official sony page.)
I am not financially in a position to buy a new phone, and both sony and bell have turned their backs on me.
What i have done so far :
after some research i came across this page: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z-ZL-ZR/Xperia-z-locked-bootloader/td-p/314658
IT suggested i flashed a generic rom, so i chose this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/ftf-stock-10-1-1-434-4-1-2-global-se-t2223827
My device IS currently rooted, and is running on the ftf mentioned above ([FTF] Stock 10.1.A.1.434 (4.1.2) GLOBAL SE unbranded C6603(LTE) [.253 OTA])
To Sum up the question, I am a developer and would like to utilize a unlocked bootloader, but am unaware of what to do next to get it unlocked.
Please help.
Thanks in Advanced!

You cannot do anything. Your bootloader is permanently locked and there's no way around it.
Flashing generic software doesn't affect the bootloader and the bootloader unlock status is stored in a protected partition (the TA) and cannot be unofficially altered.

Hello everyone I come here because I have a Xperia T but it have the Bootloader locked and the SIM locked too and want install a new rom,I want install the Cyanogenmod Lollipop Xperia T but it needs the Bootloader Unlock and that is the point here in our times exist someway to change it? I can't do that and Free my SIM card I change the firmware and I install the Recovery mode to my device but I'm in a hole here with this problem.
NOTE :MY BOOTLOADER SAYS ALLOWED NO.
Or if someone know how install rom Lollipop in Xperia T with BL locked thank you.
There is no way to install cm with locked bl. If ur sim is loocked, u will have to buy the unlock code and unlock it. You cannot unlock bl wit h sim locked. You can buy code here. If you dont want to buy the code, you can install custom roms based on original sony firmware.
Ive just got my new P9 on O2 UK contract, which comes with O2 splash screen and Bloat.. As Ive just unboxed the phone... Can I flash the unbranded UK/EU stock rom without Sim Unlocking my P9, I know you can do this with Samsung and XPERIA handsets..
Thanks
OK, took some searching .. but found it.. Answer is Yes... you dont need Sim unlock or Bootloader unlock to use a stock Rom.. but you do need to force flash. Its all in here:
YOU do this at your own Risk..
