Well means that simply that I can forget oc or uv my device as like using cm in my device?

And the way flashing a kernel via fastboot won't work for us?

Forget about unlocking the bootloader, its not possible. No over/under-clock for you, no CyanogenMod or other goodies.

All carrier branded phones are locked and almost impossible to unlock.

How should overclock work, stock kernels are not able to be setted higher.
Under-clock is possible yes.

Some people say that rooting solves the problem (XZ only?), some say unlocking the sim works

I think that it's not the matter of branded/not branded etc. beacuse I've seen bootloader unlock allowed: yes after I rooted and installed CWM and TWRP; today I've reverted rooting via SPC and the bootloader unlock allowed is back on: no; so I think someone has to look through it to see if you can override it...

I rooted and installed cwm/twrp but it's still saying No

Next i'll install generic C5303 firmware, as I am running on branded firmware! Have to do it tomorrow though because It's pretty late now

I doubt the Sony bootloader will be cracked any time soon as the Xperia T was never cracked and thats a much older device.
Unfortunately that means no custom kernels/CyanogenMod.

If you buy a factory unlocked device the bootloader will be unlockable/carrier branded devices may be locked and not unlock able.. Pretty simple really.

Sorry that I can't help much. :(

On some old xperia phones you could open sim and bootloader like xperia arc if you used test point method to unlock sim it unlocked boot loader as well.

2013 xperia models that don't have removable battery are no longer able to use test point so you can't unlock boot loader or sim.

To unlock sim you need code which you cab buy from internet.
To unlock bootloader you need to contact your airtime provider and see if they will help in unlocking bootloader again this needs code but not freely available.
