Any chance of the Canadian bootloader getting unlocked?

I know they can.. When HTC opened their devices to unlocking the bootloader they did it with a flashable update.. And we already know the rest of them are unlockable, so I don't think it would be that hard.. However whether it was an oversight or intended, I don't know. I've tried posting on there official forums and tweeted them, but seen no response to either. Hopefully someone else has better luck getting a reply. I'd really like to see it since they have aosp code for their other devices.

I was thinking about this and not sure if it would work.. I'm no developer by far.. But what if we got the official images for the g3223 from Sony site and flashed those.. Would the bootloader still be locked? I know the images contain everything (bootloader, radio, and system) so if we we got the US g3223 images and flashed them,wouls it work? Or even a non-freedom image (original direct from Sony Canada)?

i doubt a non-freedom image would work. that would be scandalous if it did work tho. freedom hasn't deployed anything since the June updates..................................................

I have my bootlock unlock code from Sony. But without fastboot access we are screwed. Freedom branded G3223 have gotten the shaft. Hopefully some method gets released for now it's all a waiting game.
