Open the back cover and check the battery and sticker below battery. On mine, they show different numbers, (11w33 and 11w37). Both are below 12w10, so I unlocked my device. Better don't try if either number is actually higher.

Thanks pal, sadly mine is 12w18... I'll keep looking in the web for a solution...

I was just wondering that, one way for manufacturers to allow updates for old devices with locked bootloader would be, To only release an updated kernel (I.e updating the kernel is the real problem right?) compatible with those locked bootloaders to atleast allow devs to build a rom on. Is it even remotely possible?
After all we paid well for these phones we atleast deserve that much :p

Hi,
I'm slightly confused. My bootloader is set to NO. So looks like I can't unlock it? However my phone is unlocked to all networks, I've used multiple sim cards. I don't understand unlocking using Test points. So what can I do? I want to install a Cyanomod. Please Help me

My bootloader cannot be officially unlocked, but I can access flashmode and fastboot mode (and the SIM is already unlocked), I once flashed the customized noba stock ROM for my Z5 SOV32, since it was packed with many of the Japanese Xperia bloatwares
So can I still be able to unlock it?
