Sony has now made it easier to unlock your Sony smartphone.

Quote from Sony –

“If you’re an open source developer working with custom ROMs and kernels, or if you’re part of the custom ROMs community, Sony have some great news for you. As yet another step in our strive for openness, our Unlock boot loader service is now re-launched with improved usability. It will now be easier to go through the steps it takes to unlock a device.

Three main steps-

With the re-launched Unlock boot loader solution, you now have to go through three main steps to unlock the boot loader:

-Select your device and enter an email address.
-Submit your IMEI number.
-Get your unlock code and perform the actual unlocking of the device.

We’ve also improved they way you check whether a device is supported, we’ve revised the instructions, and we’ve made sure you’ll only get the information relevant for your particular device all the way through the unlock process, without having to browse through a lot of information applicable for other devices. In addition, we’ve also added an FAQ section, for your convenience.

Why not go to unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com and take a look yourself?”

This is good news for those that like to tweak their android smartphones and the developer community.
