Xperia T Bootloader Unlock - No

[Miller1323]

I am desperate to have a custom rom on my phone but the bootloader status is set to no. I would like to use cm12 lollipop but the only roms available are stock based which is limited to 4.3. I want to know how i would get this unlocked, should i beg EE/Orange to do it or Sony for making the phone have a locked bootloader? I am willing to pay for it, its just really annoying that my previous phone the xperia sp could run cm 10.2 to 12 on the locked bootloader but the xperia t which is much better and smoother cant? Thanks for any help.

You are not going to be able to unlock it, your network/carrier requested this to be disabled, there's no way around it. Contact your carrier

Would they be able to, any idea of cost for it?

I doubt it, your carrier has to give the OK, and probably pay Sony to replace the motherboard on your phone, which cost almost as much as a new phone.

That is so annoying, if sony supports bootloader unlock then all phones should be unlockable. Wish i got a nexus now

Xperias do support this, but if they are network branded, most if not all network branded Androids have a locked bootloader, not just Sony.

I should of got sim free instead of orange. What i dont get is why xperia sp can run cyanogen mod on locked bootloader when the xperia t cant. All i want is to have lollipop and coloured emojis

Check the XDA forum, there might be another Custom ROM that might work with a locked bootloader
