Xperia T Bootloader Unlock - No

[Miller1323]

I am desperate to have a custom rom on my phone but the bootloader status is set to no. I would like to use cm12 lollipop but the only roms available are stock based which is limited to 4.3. I want to know how i would get this unlocked, should i beg EE/Orange to do it or Sony for making the phone have a locked bootloader? I am willing to pay for it, its just really annoying that my previous phone the xperia sp could run cm 10.2 to 12 on the locked bootloader but the xperia t which is much better and smoother cant? Thanks for any help.

Its annoying, id actually pay sony for lollipop but they would never care. I knew i should have got another phone but the t just looked so nice. Thanks for your help anyway

I decided to question ee on twitter, at first they blamed sony but after giving them the facts they came clean saying they do it to prevent voiding the warranty and getting rid of there pre loaded apps. They told me they have no idea how to reverse there decision and stopped replying after that

I told you, networks/carriers will try to blame Sony when its their issue, I have seen this done with other networks/countries, but the carrier/network has to approve this and it seems that they pay Sony to replace the motherboard, but yeah its all about the carriers keeping you under control.

It's completely annoying and now means I will have to buy a new phone this year. I'll make sure to get a phone simfree this time. Thanks for helping me understand this complicated issue
