If you don't mind, I linked to this guide in my guide
(dumped other guide)
Thank you! Awesome, comprehensive and easy to follow guide!
It's a shame I already unlocked BL ages ago via official method....
2. Open up Phone Dialer app, and type
3. Go to Service Info... Configuration... And see whats there in Rooting Status. If it reads like:Code:*#*#7378423#*#*
proceed. Else, do not attempt to unlock the bootloaderCode:Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock Status: Yes
Yes, you can. Actually, DragonClawsAreSharp made a mistake. The service menu has to show Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes. Not Bootloader unlock Status: YesMy phone show "Bootloader unlook allowed: Yes" instead of " Bootloader unlock Status: Yes"
May I use this method?
PS: I have an unbranded Xperia mini pro.
Yes, you can. Actually, DragonClawsAreSharp made a mistake. The service menu has to show Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes. Not Bootloader unlock Status: Yes

Great tutorial, thanks. One question, how to relock the bootloader? By clicking restore in s1tool?
Follow the following steps to unlock the bootloader of your Xperia 2011 device.
Unlcoking bootloader lets you flash custom kernels and ROMs to your device.
If you end up doing something wrong, flash firmware using flashtool.
I do not care if you spill coffee on your phone while doing all this. I will try to help you as much as I can, in such a case, but I can never guarantee
If you unlock your bootloader by this method, you will not loose the DRM keys of your phone. This means that apps like Track ID will work even on unlocked bootloader.
You can lock your bootloader again, and flash the stock Sony Firmware, and your phone will be as it was when it came from factory.
1. Saftey Pin
2. Short Piece of Wire
3. USB Cable [MicroUsb male to USB male]

2. Open up Phone Dialer app, and type

So I'm guessing this doesn't work on the Xperia Play R800x?
