Phone was recently bought in Canada signed to Rogers. Flashed new firmware onto it, version 4.0.A.2.368. Could Rogers branding it is stopping the bootloader from being unlocked? I assumed that flashing generic firmware onto phone would also debrand phone.

I'm afraid you can't unlock the bootloader because your phone is branded...
Flashing another firmware will not debrand your phone...
maybe you should wait till developers find a solution or debrand your phone(if it's possible).

Ah yes, I had assumed that since it's branded I could not unlock bootloader. Searching around google i found a site that confirmed branded phones needed to be unlocked before bootloader is open.
Devs close thread please.

Where

Sorry for offtopic, but:
Where exactly do I find the official SE bootloader unlock page? And can I revert it to retain the warranty?
