Bootloader Access
The Fastboot is locked when it comes from the factory, but elegible devices can be unlocked on Sony's Bootloader Unlock Page. The website requires a valid e-mail address and the device's IMEI (accessible on the box or by dialing *#06#). Once unlocked, fastboot has full write access.
