the method that i posted above to relock is for both, unofficial and official

i suggest you go for the official way of unlocking the boot

[sandiprc2010]

thanks once again.

if I go with the official way of bootloader unlocking (http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/)

and then relock with the method mentioned ...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134335.

will my phone show lock bootloader status by dialing *#*#7378423#*#*

also i want to know will my neo v be as good as now (with locked bootloader)

[Nabeel]

Your phone may not be as good as it is now....

Bootloader once unlocked is unlocked for forever.

The way to relock not actually relocks it but it's a process by which you flash a files that fools pc companion and other softwares that the bootloader is locked

After locking the bootloader you won't be able to use the stock Track ID forever

May i know why you want to unlock the bootloader ?

[sandiprc2010]

actually i want to install custom rom availaible in xda developers.trully speaking after upgrading to  4.0.3(now 4.0.4) my handset has become increasingly slow and above all sometimes it heats up (opposite to flash).

so i am planing to taste the icecreamsandwitch through custom rom.

Hi Nabeel,

I was trying the official way to unlock Bootloader explained here (http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/). Step 13 here says the following:

13. On your computer, you will be asked for drivers. Point to the usb_driver folder where you placed 

      the android_winusb.inf-file, and select the Android Boot loader Interface-file.

But when I am giving the path to the usb_driver folder windows (Windows 7 Ultimate x64) says driver not found.

Can u plz help me with it.

I want to install CM10 Thats why I was trying this as suggested in the guide here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/63781-tutoneoneo-v-how-to-install-cyanogenmod-10/
