It's a simple thing . When user uses official way to unlock bootloader the OEM has its IMEI number , serial number and such so they blacklist your device from recieving any further updates/assistance ,if their policy says that they doesn't support unlocking bootloader. ( Asus doesn't support devices with unlocked bootloader)
When user uses unofficial way OEM doesn't have record of the bootloader unlocking State so user can Relock bootloader and claim warranty .
Simple as that. Hope it clears up the thing for you.
Thanks sir!

Hello guys,
Like some many peoples i bought last month a xperia sp in a airtime provider. But I view that we can't have Cyanogen-Mod with a bootloader locked . In somes Samsung models we can have CM with just a root. Can developpers do something for have a CM rom with bootloader locked ?
Sorry for my bad english
Thanks
No
Any custom ROM not based on stock need a custom kernel,and for install a custom kernel need unlocked bootloader.So cm for lb is impossible.

Yes i know but I request developpers for unlock bootloaders unofficial or for can install custom rom without unlock bootloader.
This is not possible due to the security of the bootloader of Sony. I have absolute 0 knowledge about this but i think that the bootloader prevent not-properly-signed kernels..

In effect, indirectly it prevent for this.
Jermin94, to install CM, it need a specific kernel, to overclock/underclock per example, but it's for drivers i think too.
If even a locked bootloader CM version will be release, i think you will not got all of features of CM, but it meant be possible : i don't know.

make a TA backup of your phone, including DRM keys before you unlock the bootloader. later on for warranty purposes you can relock the bootloader, and restore the DRM keys and stock firmware etc. i don't know how far the guys at the service center will go to detect whether the phone has been unlocked or not...

alphaz1, That's no good to the OP as his phone is SIM locked to a carrier. That means it will have 'Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO' in the Service Menu. There is currently no way to change this even if you SIM unlock at a later date (officially or otherwise).
Unless Bootloader Unlock Allowed is set to YES, you cannot enter Fastboot mode (Vol+ and Blue led) to enable entry of the Sony bootloader unlock code. Hence the the only custom ROMs that can be used are those based on the stock kernel - so no CM or MIUI etc.
Moral of the story: if you want to experiment with non-stock kernels and ROMs on an Xperia device, make sure you by a factory unlocked version, not one that is SIM locked or has been subsequently unlocked to allow use of other networks.

As i know for unlock bootloader you need to enter IMEI for get unlock code.. So I think, once you enter that IMEI, sony add it to database. And your RMA depend on your luck
Only my theory.

You talk like the developers have a choice and are doing it on purpose.

He means if it could have been done, it would have been done.
And because it can't be done, you asking isn't going to make any difference, no matter how much you plead
And this thread has no actual purpose. CM 10.2 might be possible when Sony will release 4.3, but it's not a certain thing.

use this link

Need more information
This link is taking to security centre only. Still unable to reach unlock the bootloader option.
Hi Friends,
Very quick and simple question:
Is there a way to Root (and maybe Unroot) the 6gb RAM model WITHOUT unlocking the Bootloader?
I only ask because unlocking the Bootloader voids the ZTE 2 year warranty, and there is no way to reverse/relock it, correct?
Thanks for your responses!
Read the root without unlock thread and the newbie unlocking guide.
Thanks bud, so looks like it is possible to root without Bootloader unlock? How about going back to stock after root?
@lafester or some other helpful member, can you please link me to the pertinent thread that I could use to root the ENHANCED (6gb RAM model in the US)? Preferably, I'd like to root with the Bootloader unlocked too, ONLY if there is a way to return to complete stock, including relocking the Bootloader.
Simply speaking, I want to order the phone and try it, but am not sure if I'd be able to live with the camera performance and etc... I'd like to be to root and unlock Bootloader, if I can, but if I don't keep the phone, I'd like to return to complete stock. Can someone help? Thanks!
I gave you the threads already.
@lafester I am sorry bud, but I didn't see any links in your post. Also, any chance you could simply answer my question, if you have the knowledge ? Would deeply appreciate it. Thanks!
As the title says, I am unable to find the UK in the list of countries.
I am using the link supplied in the how-to for rooting the phone.
Any ideas?

Do you want to unlock your bootloader
emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/unlock/index
What will happen if i just unlock but never proceed with unlocking using ADB or flashing any custom twrp.
Once i input the unlock code is my warranty still valid?
Your warranty will hold you. Boot-loader unlock or root is not a problem in Europe under EU law.
My p10 lite was hard-brick and Dr. Mobile has done board-swap for free. The first six months must be a vendor to prove that the problem is yours.
First two months even no request for cost research.
Hello to all
Maybe it's a stupid question already made by many, I wanted to know if the warranty despite the bootloader is blocked after an update made with HWOTA and firmware is still valid, in case it was not someone thinks it is possible in the future to reactivate the warranty by canceling some counter?
Excuse the banality of the question.
Thank you
Best wishes even if in advance to all of you.
Sorry for my english.

Answer Is no, once you unlock the boot loader warranty is then voided. Even if you trick it and make it re-locked it will have a log/history that only service places can open up an read and that log will state you have unlocked the boot loader then re-locked it and a time and date. Which then tech person will reject warranty request. Since you have voided it. This is why never unlock boot loader during valid warranty time. When warranty on the phone has expired then you can do what ever you want with it since it no longer has a valid warranty.
Hello
in fact I have performed the procedure of updating the Vodafone VKF firmware VKY-L09C02B150 to the VKY-L09C432B175 version with the HWOTA folder on PC, because I needed to have the mirrorlink, available from the B162 version.
So the software has unlocked the updated and re-locked bootloader.
That's all....
Thank you
