Can't acces bootloader or Fastboot mode Xperia SP C5306 (Fido)

Hi,

I try to acces the bootloader, or to acces fastboot mode (by pressing volume up and plug phone) but it's impossible.

I have acces to Flashmode, but not Fastboot.

I would want to unlock the bootloader but I can't directly with flashtool.

Thanks

If your phone is or was network branded/locked to a carrier you won't be able to unlock the bootloader

If I sim unlock the phone would I be able to unlock the bootloader? 

Thanks a lot!

Unfortunately no, you won't be able to do so. This was requested by the carrier, the only way is to replace the motherboard which will cost almost the same as a new phone
