I followed all steps in SONY's official bootloader unlocking method. No I would like to know whether it is unlocked or not? I want to install a kernel and JB ROM. I want to confirm it before proceeding and to avoid bricking of my device.

My phone booted fine, I want to know whether bootloader is unlocked or not? I tried installing PC companion and opened it in my computer. A splash screen displayed and closed. Does this mean it is unlocked?

Try to flash any custom kernel using fastboot mode... If the kernel flashed sucessfully then its unlocked...

Remember ics rom = ics kernel, jb rom = jb kernel, gb rom = gb kernel.. Otherwise ur phone will not boot

just try to update with pc companion or update service , if it says modified software then the bootloader is unlocked , if it still continues ( cancel it ) then it means its locked..

You also done wrong deleting drm data using 'official' unlocking method. I have unlocked mine with setool and testpoints.
