Hello Frnds,
I need to submit my handset for housing crack issue to the SE service center.. But recently I had flashed it with the Stock ROM prepared with the help of SEUS and Flashtool. So can anyone tell me how to check my Bootloader has been unlocked or it is still locked? Because the method to flash the Stock ROM I used says that it wont unlock the bootloader.. So can somebody please tell me how can I check it? If it is unlocked then the SEUS or PC Companion will not detect it, right? Thanks..

If you did not unlock downloader then it will be locked, if you have you can relock it just search, and DooMLorD has a thread getting back to stock, hope this helps.

If you unlock your bootlaoder, you will loose the DRM aplications like TrackID. So start the TrackID app and if it works, your bootloader is still locked, if it doesn't and you get some error, then it's unlocked.
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* . Then go to -> "Service Info" -> "Configuration". If there is:
Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes << this means that your Bootloader is Locked
Bootloader Unlocked - Yes << this means that your bootloader is unlocked
Thanks all.. I checked.. It is not unlocked..
and if it says "Bootloader unlock allowed: No", I guess I have to the "pay" route to get it unlocked?

That means you have Simlock. You have to pay for simlock code for unlock and then unlock the bootloader

Thanks for the quick response. It is already SIM unlocked, so I guess the next step is paying for bootloader unlock?

No, no, bootloader unlock is official by Sony Ericsson and it's free. Go to this site and unlock your bootloader There is also Instruction

Wrong. SIM/network lock and bootloader are completely separate.
It will always say "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes" even if your bootloader is unlocked. Yes or No just refers to if it can be unlocked.
I did it on my x10i and the text bootloader isnt there anywhere. so what now?

I must confirm this. I've just unlocked bootloader on SE xperia mini pro, and before unlocking it was saying "Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes " and now after unlock it says "Bootloader Unlocked - Yes"

That's totally wrong. If it says no, the only way to unlock it is paid and if it says yes, then it allows you to unlock it yourself with the test point or the official SE unlock bootloader feature using your IMEI.

Hi, I'm on stock SE 2.3.3 GB, rooted with xrecovery 0.3
I want to install cobrato's miui 2.3.3 (gb 2.3.7), was wondering if i need to unlock my bootloader and flash any kernel or directly go ahead with it.
I tried ur method *#*#7378423#*#* aka *#*#SERVICE#*#* and there is no lone mentioning bootloader.
Thanks
Hi i recently relocked my bootloader buti dont know how to check if its actually relocked so can someone tell me
Thanks:laugh:
1) Press and open Dialer panel, input *#*#7378423#*#* entering the engineering mode.
2) Enter "Service Info", then "Configuration"
3) Check the last line "Rooting status"
If it shows:
Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes/ Then your phone is not unlocked yet.
Bootloader unlocked: Yes/ Then your phone is unlocked already.
4) This might not be working on some particular models and I have no idea why...As some device shows it's not unlocked but infact it's unlocked already.
Anyway, you may use the above as a reference.

First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can . If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked. I hope its helps
How do you know or check unlockbootloder or no
Type this in the dial pad *#*#4636#*#*
You will get a menu, there you find the bootloader unlock status.

Isnt it *#*#7378423#*#*?
Go to service info and check your bootloader status
Could be any of these two, I don't have the device right now, so can't check !
I followed the guides here, but there was no indication that the bootloader was successfully unlocked. I flashed RomAur 1.2 after installing the dual recovery, but before trying to unlock the bootloader. It flashed fine, but there were some problems here and there. I then followed the guide to unlock the bootloader, reflashed the rom, and everything seems to be OK, but because of this whole mess, I'm not sure I really unlocked the bootloader. How can I check the bootloader status?
open dialer app then type *#*#service#*#* or should I say *#*#7378423#*#*
Then navigate to Service info->Configuration
check rooting status.
If it says bootloader unlock allowed: Yes = locked bootloader
If it says bootloader unlocked: Yes = unlocked bootloader
