How to unlock bootloader on Sony/Sony Ericsson


Note: By unlocking boot-loader you may void your warranty so we are not responsible for any of your action this post is only for educational purposes.

So unlike other cell phone its a little bit difficult to unlock bootloader in Sony Ericsson cell phones so i would like to make it very simple and clear about unlocking your device.
To do so you need to download certain files which are necessary for this process:

After done downloading everything install SDK manager. after you do so you need to open it install USB drivers. 
Now Locate SDK Folder in your Computer (It will be some where in c:/windows/..../android/sdk)
In SDK folder open extras, then Google, then USB_driver now copy Fastboot drivers for Sony into this folder(Important stuff).

So in-order to unlock bootloader you need to Root your device is can be done by an easy tool which is present in Fastboot package called Eroot just connect your device and click on root your device will be rooted in just few seconds. 

After you root your cell phone now all that you have to do is Find your key which is explained in Sony developer site after you do find your Key all you need to do is switch off your cell phone in boot mode this can be done by pressing volume up key which is for most of the Sony devices you can Google about it. As you switch off connect your cell phone to your PC via cable now open the command prompt and type

1. adb devices
    (it will list out your device, if not then you have made some mistake you need to repeat then step          from beginning)
2. fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY
   (replace KEY with the KEY you found out)

It will take few mins and Ola you have just unlocked boot-loader in your device. So if any of this step is not clear you then feel free to comment i will help you out
