Hi all,
I've been looking for a solution to the "Bootloader unlock allowed: NO" problem. I wanted to post a link to something I found but apparently I need to post at least 10 messages before I can post links. If you google "xperia t bootloader unlock allowed no" it is the first result. Has anyone tried the program? I'm a bit suspicious, kind of looks like malware/scam.
Cheers,
Dan

Please use SEARCH.
The answer has been given many times.
EDIT
It is not too far away, you may even be able to find it without using the search function....here is a clue.
This has been discussed many times before, but I have seen conflicting answers to these questions. I hope that by asking them again I can get a consensus from everyone.
Questions
1) Do you need to unlock your bootloader to be able to root your SP phone? Most people say yes, others think no.
2) If you need to unlock your bootloader, is it possible to do it when you have "bootloader unlock allowed: no" setting? Most people say no. For what it's worth, my phone is not SIM locked.
Thanks.

1) You don't need to unlock bootloader to root your SP.
2) You cannot unlock the bootloader, if you have "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No"
Thanks, msainani.
On the one hand, it is good news that I can root without unlocking the bootloader.
But does this mean I cannot change ROMs or update the OS? What would be I be able to do with a phone that is both rooted and unlocked versus a phone that is rooted but locked?
Hi, I have no way to unlock the bootloader. I have a code provided by Sony, after facilitating the IMEI. I can communicate with the device by the Bootloader mode, as it responds to my call giving his ID, but I put the code, it tells me that is not recognized, or you can not run this. I hope someone can help me quer. Thank you very much.
Dial
*#*#7378423#*#*
Goto service test and configuration
Read the bottom line.
if it says
bootloader unlock allowed: NO. then guess what, you cannot unlock the bootloader.
If it says something else, please post it here together with exactly what the command windows says
Hi. We already do, but do not understand the last thing you said.
Thank you.
He means. Go dial that number. Go service test. Configuration. Read Bootloader unlock yes or no. If say different post on forum post

Next time when u get a device, check if
bootloader unlock allowed = yes
Ok. Thank you.
Hi all.
Sorry if i'm repeating a question which has probably been asked many times here, but i can't find any help.
I have Z1 C6903 with root status "bootloader unlock allowed: no".
Is there any possible (safe/unsafe/other) way or method to change this to "yes" and to unlock my bootloader?
Thanks for your help.
I don't believe so. If it says no, unknown, or anything other than yes you are out of luck same boat unfortunately.

Majority of the posts i've read say this.
But, i've also read that if you can get your provider/operater to SIM unlock your phone (which i can for free), then you can contact sony by email, send them the sim unlock code wirh other relevant data, and if the data is correct and the code genuine, they pick up your phone and change the status to "yes" within 15 days, and return it back to you.
I'm trying to find out if thats true or just a rumor.
Aha, I wasn't even aware of this! But a quick search looks like you might be right, I had no idea...

I think I will look into this....

Yeah, i saw that thread already, but i dont see how using test pins is possible with the z1, as it doesnt have a temovable back cover or battery?
Please post your findings here, and i'll get a sim unlock code from my operator and then try to contact sony.
Good luck to us!
Guys im a newbie, please if someone can figure how to turn "bootloader unlock allowed: no" into "yes". Thanks

First: Read the forum rules:
It cleary says: DO NOT POST QUESTIONS IN THE GENERAL SECTION
second: read the forum rules:
It says: USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION
your question has been asked and answered a thousand times.
But, as you're a newbie:
You can't do anything about it. Next time you buy an Xpera make sure it has no simlock. Then you'll be able to unlock the bootloader
