I did think that, but the OP is on Three UK, according to his post history and they supply bootloader locked phones

Okay then only way to unlock your bootloader is
Sell your phone and buy a unlocked one

Forgive me for asking this, but if your phone is unbranded, why were you complaining about Three being slow with updates?

Updates for unbranded handsets are nothing to do with carriers

Check the bootloader unlocking status in the service menu and let us know
This is what it looks like.

Is it possible to flash Pac Rom without unlocking the boot loader as this is the reason why I want to unlock the boot loader.

No, because you need to flash a custom kernel.
Question - has the unlock status always said 'No', even before rooting? If it has, then there is no way to unlock it at all. Even if you debrand the phone by flashing a generic rom
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2
I think it said no before aswell.
Would it be unlocked if I decided replace the boot partition

It's not that simple. If it was, someone here would have done it already. The bootloader is protected by all sorts of encryption as far as I know (I'm new to Sony and Qualcomm devices in general, but there's definitely some heavy security in place). Messing with that sort of thing will probably result in a brick.
Looks like you're stuck with stock based roms

At least the stock rom is pretty good, and there are plenty of stock based roms to play with
I had the same problem with my xperia play and my refurbished htc sensation. They all couldn't have their bootloaders unlocked by normal means.
I managed to unlock them in the end with third party programs. But any way when i tried unlocking with flashtool, i got the following log.

You can do this.
OR a much easier method is to Unlock the Bootloader and use DoomLord's method with his kernel. I used the method in Post #3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2129121

Please read the all in one thread. Its the first thread in the Q&A section. It gives all the info you need on unlocking our bootloader.
But first,
goto the dialer and press
*#*#7378423#*#*
goto service info/configuration
If the bottom line says
bootloader unlocked allowed: No
You cannot currently unlock your bootloader by any known means
If it says
bootloader unlock allowed :Yes
Then read the all in one thread and follow the instructions
It says bootloader unlock yes, I tried doing I couldn't do it

Hi everyone, please I really need help on how to root xperia t, I was using Samsung galaxy s2 and rooting it was so easy but xperia t is a Little bit confusing for me. I am a novice with sony xperia t. I have already unlocked the bootloader, but for rooting, I need a video tutorial or step by step manual on how to do this, because I need to do it. I have so many programs that require root Access, without root is all useless. thank you very much beautiful people and hoping to hear from you....bye

wow,
why have you unlocked your bootloader? What did you want to do?
Anyway, now that you have unlocked there is no need to root, just flash a custom kernel (I recommend DooMKerneL, find it in the dev section, make sure you get the one for the T)
Once you have flashed that you will have root.

You can use any Rom that is based on a stock firmware and kernel.
Make sure you have cwm recovery to flash Rom

i heard you need to be on stock based firmware to install the recovery,
but you can flash on other roms and manually flash the kernel or something like that

BL is already unlockable, one unlocked u lose all DRM, there is no need for exploit.
Root was needed just to push the recovery to the stock kernel.
And CM uses a completely different kernel than the stock and the only way to flash it by unlocked BL

Exactly. I'm not sure of the chances that non-unlockable devices will become unlockable. If I said any amount if time I'd be making it up :/
One of the devs said that Sony bootloaders are locked up tight though...
