Well, reading some post on "Play's forums" : This one! .

i found a way to unlock my LWW, which is "Unlock Bootloader Allowed: NO"...
Well, it's unlocked, but it lacks fastboot. I'm sure about that, 'cause yesterday i updated my phone over FOTA :cyclops:
, and i had for a couple minutes a dead phone! ... i fixed it with a FOTA Fix file over flashtool, and when i flash it, Flashtool, tells me it's unlocked

But, the only way to flash a Kernel, is converting the ".img" file of any kernel for LWW into a ".ftf" container, for FlashTool, The guide's guy left some instructions for converting R800's (This Post) img kernels into ftf kernels, but i can't fifgure out hot to make it for my loved LWW, i need some basic stuff like Ramdisk, partitions ...
Maybe if some DEV or anybody else, can make it, well we'll can change our kernels in FastBoot lacked phones... I offer my phone as "Testing Phone" ... :fingers-crossed:

What do you mean by "it lacks bootloader"?. The main reason to unlock bootloader is to make custom kernel flashing via fastboot possible.
