Because I want to unlock the bootloader in my xperia p,

so I got into the sony website and get the code for unlock.

But I have had serveral problem,

1.Where can I download the bootloaders for unlock?

2.I press the 0volume +)button when I plug it into my compuer,

but the light near the usb plugger didn't turn blue.Is this normal?

I cannot unlock it.

Please help me to root also.If you have some pictures of the unlock and

root process,please post it here or send to my email:[email protected]

you probably are missing the drivers, run SUS and repair your phone, btw do you know that you won't be able to use SUS or PCc after you unlock your phone, and that your DRM files will be gone forever?

just wondering, why do you want to unlock your bootloader
