Default Unlock bootloader etc of Xperia phones good price

Hi,
just want to share a good deal :

Really nice he unlocked the bootloader of my r800i & lt15i.
Both had "bootloader allowed : no" & r800i was sim locked, now it's "bootloader allowed : yes" & fastboot works. (Track id & other sony apps still work too )

I seen your thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1680233

And I think you confound the unbranded phone that are unlockable for free (with sony method or s1tool)
and the branded phone (so with this message "bootloader unlock allowed : no") that need paid testpoint method (setool2, omnius, etc).

Unless you're CDMA, then you have no choice but to pay. Unless there's something you know that nobody else does.

You need to take a second look at this service. I see no mention whatsoever to unlocking the bootloader. I think they may be referring to the carrier lock that may be in place on some phones if under contract etc...

Really? Who is we,a company or a xda community page and are you sure its for a factory locked loader that says No when you look at the Service Info config?

He says that they unlocked his on 2 phones already tho

You do realize that the seller on eBay is NOT unlocking your bootloader.... right? HE is unlocking your phones SIM so that you can use another carriers sim card with it. Then again though, as I am CDMA with an unlocked bootloader I have read that, correct me if I am wrong, that by unlokcing the bootlaoder it also unloks the SIM restrictions as well. I do not know if this is the case with this seller. He may just simply be unlokcing the SIM card restriction.

Quoted from the eBay sellers listing:

"Unlocking a phone is primarily done to allow the user to use the phone with a carrier other than the contracted carrier .By unlocking your phone a user could theoretically use it with any carrier that you choose.

Reseting the user code means reseting the phones user code that is preventing the user from accesing the phone's content to 0000."



Notice I marked where the confusion arises. Perhaps someone should email this seller and ask him if he is just unlock SIM card or the whole shebang....

EDIT: I have emailed the seller. Will report back if/when I hear anything
BAM!!
