That code, 11W29, stands for 29th week of 2011. Chips created from then and after have the security hole effectively closed.
So in short, you should NOT attempt to unlock.
No. As Chris said about the security hole, unfortunately your phone is a 2012 production meaning its to late.
So, unfortunately you can't unlock you bootloader.hope I helped

It's a hard brick.
The only thing you can do is send it off to Sony Ericsson. The motherboard has to be replaced. There's no way you can revive your phone yourself
Oh no... please, next time you wanna do something you are unsure of, please ask us first...

Yes , you have to send it off for repair. If your phone is under warranty , just tell them that you are unaware of what happened and suddenly the phone stopped working and responding.
The warranty is expired

Successfully UNLOCKED Xperia X8 11W35 just hour ago!
I was scared with all disccussions here but I wanted to try, however it could finish.
I had followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
I am not encourageing anyone to do so, but it is good to know that 11W29 is not the limit, maybe it is 11W35?
Or maybe it has something with guidance? For me, guides by SpiderX were succsessfull.
U can by paid method

Really nice he unlocked the bootloader of my r800i & lt15i.
Both had "bootloader allowed : no" & r800i was sim locked, now it's "bootloader allowed : yes" & fastboot works. (Track id & other sony apps still work too )

I seen your thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680233
And I think you confound the unbranded phone that are unlockable for free (with sony method or s1tool)
and the branded phone (so with this message "bootloader unlock allowed : no") that need paid testpoint method (setool2, omnius, etc).
you dont need to pay for an unlocked bootloader! its really easy to do it yourself

Unless you're CDMA, then you have no choice but to pay. Unless there's something you know that nobody else does.

You need to take a second look at this service. I see no mention whatsoever to unlocking the bootloader. I think they may be referring to the carrier lock that may be in place on some phones if under contract etc...

You do realize that the seller on eBay is NOT unlocking your bootloader.... right? HE is unlocking your phones SIM so that you can use another carriers sim card with it. Then again though, as I am CDMA with an unlocked bootloader I have read that, correct me if I am wrong, that by unlokcing the bootlaoder it also unloks the SIM restrictions as well. I do not know if this is the case with this seller. He may just simply be unlokcing the SIM card restriction.
Quoted from the eBay sellers listing:
"Unlocking a phone is primarily done to allow the user to use the phone with a carrier other than the contracted carrier .By unlocking your phone a user could theoretically use it with any carrier that you choose.
Reseting the user code means reseting the phones user code that is preventing the user from accesing the phone's content to 0000."
Notice I marked where the confusion arises. Perhaps someone should email this seller and ask him if he is just unlock SIM card or the whole shebang....
EDIT: I have emailed the seller. Will report back if/when I hear anything
Help with my BL please

Did you say that you can do it for free? OMG I'm trying to unlock it a lot of time, I got the unlock sim code (paid) thinking that it will turn "Unlock BootLoader allowed:No" into "Yes" but not and I'm looking for a free method to do it, can u help me? How can I do it from home? I read that if you send an email to Sony with phone's IMEI and unlock SIM code provided and after a few days you need to deliver the phone to Sony and after 15 days it back home full unlocked, but I cannot still 15 days without phone. If you know another method without sending the phone, please, help me with my issue. Thank you very much in advance.
Dont spend ur money, just read more
You means that we must reset code to 0000 to unlock bootloader? I don't understand, I'm waiting for someone who can unlock my branded play from France(for free).

my current phone is unlocked, but I can foresee its eventual death, and the replacement might be locked...
Hi everyone !
First of all, I'd like to introduce a little of myself because i'm new here ! My name is David, I'm 22, and i'm from France (Sorry for my English :angel. I just switched from an iPhone 4s to a Sony Xperia T (obvious in this section of the forum, right? ^^)
I'm a total beginner about Android development, but i'm learning more and more everyday !
Here is my problem : The xperia I bought is simlocked to Orange, a french provider (even though I know it exists in other countries), and i'd like to know how I could get rid of this lock so I can use my phone with my unlimited plan from another provider.
Does the lock come from the fact that the it's a Orange Firmware ? Can I bypass it by flashing the firmware and installing another firmware that won't be from Orange?
Do I have to unlock the bootloader ? Root the phone ?
Thanks for your answers and your help ! :good:
It will be simlocked to Orange regardless, you'll have to call Orange or a third party to unlock it for you.
Only Samsung devices and certain HTC have certain ways to unlock the phone freely. I don't know about Sony, as this is my first Sony phone.
I already called them, they told me that it costs 76€.. And a third party would be pretty much the same I guess..
Well I hope there's gonna be another solution, because I can't wait to fully use it ! :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for your answer though !
Most t third pairs will do it for around 30 bucks
Did I help? Then please don't forget to press the thanks button.
Is your question solved? Then mark your question solved in your title.

well I can't find one that'll do it for 30 bucks, so if you know one !
French law about cellphone states your service provider is to unlock your phone free of charge (considering you ask for it) after the sixth month of your engagement.
It can be done sooner but as you said, it's not free at all, and you'll still have to pay for your monthly plan for the rest of your engagement period.

well if it is in status locked, you can unlock it (if i understand correctly). type *#*#7378423#*#* service info, configuration (or similar, am on cm10 so cannot look) and check if you can unlock it.
Sent from my Xperia T
The phone is in status locked when I look in Service Info, but I believe some members here already did unlock their bootloader.
Also I flashed the original Orange branded rom and replaced it with the Generic UK one, which is not branded (I thought by doing this it might disable the simlock, but it didn't..)

what i mean is not simlock, of course, but it should say in that menu if you can unlock bootloader.
it should say something like: Rooting: Unlock of bootloader: Yes
edit: from sonymobile site:
Instructions
First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

It actually says "No" to unlock the bootloader, that's what I was trying to say previously lol
That's why I said that I believe,even though it says no, that some members managed to unlock it. Or maybe that status is proper to each phone?

That's true for the 2011 line and some of the 2012 line. But for Xperia t it is not (yet) possible. And if they unlocked while bootloader unlock allowed stated no they paid for it.

Rooting is easy if any devs got a device already they could make one in less than 10minutes. Even they could make one now given the stock ROMs available now in dev section. What we really need to have now is how to relock the bootloader.

So since this phone is due for release is it a known fact that the bootloader is unlocked & also what would be achieved or the benefits of relocking the bootloader. Can't imagine why to relock coz despite best efforts by top developers over a year, my current phone's bootloader is totally hack proof (not impossible but improbable)

With relock bootloader you could do OTA, Bravia Engine, download music info and stuffs. Plus maybe get your warranty back.
I can't imagine seeing lots of people buy the Xperia Z then unlock it then weeks after sony announces 1st batch of the devices have some major bug and you can't return it back because you void your warranty because you unlocked your bootloader.

There was a "trick" where people fried their radios ( wifi, BT etc ) with a microwave to claim warranty - since those are on mb itself, service usually replaces the whole board. In theory there is no way to tell that your radios were damaged on purpose by a microwave - this way some tried to claim warranty saying their radios "just stopped working". Some claim it worked, others it didn't - i myself believe it to be utter gar.... if you put your phone into microwave, you're gonna have a bad time

Hmm I think that ain't gonna work since if you ever fried a radio sony can still check if whether the bootloader is locked or unlocked. Better fry the whole device instead :laugh:
Well I just mentioned what I read & yeah I think it's for less than 10 secs @ lowest wattage But hmm yeah I didn't know that it is yet possible to check if BL was unlocked.

Uhm yeah correct with that one but I was talking about rooting on unlocked bootloaders
rooting it while it's locked is an exploit or security flaw so yeah it's hard to do.
Regarding relocking bootloader no idea how to do since my last sony device was unlocked using testpoint and there's no way of relocking it yet at that time.
What I'm interested in at this point is anything with the drm keys. I want that to stay even when the device is unlocked. Do you know by chance where is it stored anyways? Is it on one of the partitions inside the phone or is there a seperate chipset where it is isolately stored? Or is it something like a firmware embedded to a chipset?

I believe there is a way to root this phone now, but at the cost of losing the DRM keys forever. I'm not technical savvy and so I do not know the consequences of losing the DRM keys. See below for the link to the post which lets you root sony xperia z3+ for both single and dual sims.

u missed the thread title mate. unlocking bootloader & missing DRM keys are not what most of us looking for in the first place for Sony devices.
BTW it seems that bounties like this ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/xperia-z3v-general/bounty-z3-d6708-root-t3059181 ) worked.
Most of the Sony devices of late gained root through bounties like above. So if every owner of Z3+/Z4 shell out a small amount, then we'd have "exploit hunters" on the hunt which would give us a (true) root in no time.
What do you people say?
Count me in with 10€
same goes for me!
How or who can manage a z3+/z4 Bounty??
