If it is on stock sony rom go to dialer and type *#*#7378423#*#* -> Service Info -> Configuration and look at the bootloader status. If it says:
Rooting Status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: yes
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or
Rooting Status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: no
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then the bootloader is locked.
If it says:
Rooting Status
Bootloader unlocked: yes
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You guess it? It's unlocked.
To be on the safe site connect the phone in fastboot mode to pc (turn phone off, hold volume up and while holding volume up connect to pc, don't power on, just hold volume up while connecting to pc) and start flashtool.
If flashtools says:
Bootloader Status: Rootable
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it is locked but unlockable.
If flashtool says
Bootloader Status: Rooted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it is unlocked
Or
if you identify using setool2
check the line:
RUNNING S1_EROM VER "(R)xAxxx"
and
LOADER VERSION: "(R)xAxxx"
if you get a capital 'R', it means your bootloader is locked
if you get a small 'r', it's otherwise
My bootloader is locked. Thanks guys!!

For the sake of this question I have a locked bootloader on a wt19i. The phone is rooted. (It's my friend's phone but I'm voicing a theory). It can't enter fastboot mode and the bootloader unlock status is: not allowed.
Armed with the IMEI number,
If I did a TA backup via Octopus Suite 1.0.3,
Then, (following methods seen in this thread: http://goo.gl/QNKxS Third post down.) to force the phone into fastboot, start a firmware (re)install in PC Companion. During that process the phone will enter fastboot mode. If I stop the process there [in Windows Task Manger], then the phone will get stuck booting only into fastboot mode (until I finish putting firmware .tft back on it).
THEN I use SE Bootloader Unlocking v1.6 {Found here: http://goo.gl/JxDmY }. I give it my IMEI, it gets an unlock code and I connect the phone - in fastboot - and select "Unlock BL" to unlock the bootloader.
Then restore TA, followed by a restore of firmware.
Would this unlock the bootloader or brick the phone?
Corrections and answers welcome.

I checked the thread you were referring to,
the process they are doing there is to access flash mode...
fastboot is completely different, can only be accessed if bootloader is unlocked.
based also on the bootloader unlock status: not allowed, this means phone is network locked, unlocking of bootloader would not work thru available methods in xda.
you would to pay in order to remove the network lock and then unlock bootloader

This would not unlock the bootloader,
Brick the phone, not sure, but it would probably wont, good thing you have a backup.
You can always do a flashing of stock firmware thru flashtool or wotanserver.

The problem is you tried to use that tool and the moment you have typed your IMEI and pressed get unlock code, you lost your warranty. So you have no warranty anymore!!
Now you will have to desimlock and after that you can just hope fasboot is enabled.
Install flashtool, open the installation folder > drivers and install all drivers for all devices. Install the android sdk (please better look in my signature to see how to set up android sdk and flashtool and replace the usb drivers). Then try to enter fastboot mode like explained in the threads
Hi. I flashed 4.0.4 firmware and rooted it with Flashtool, installed CWM but I can't enter into fastboot to flash custom kernel. I hold volume UP key and connect it to the PC with Fastboot mode in Flashtool, but it just starts charging and there is no blue LED.
How to fix this? I have Xperia mini ST15i
Is your Bootloader unlocked?
And are you sure if you Type *#*#7378423#*#* - Service Info - configuration Bootloader unlock(ed) allowed: it is yes?
Sent from my SK17i using xda app-developers app
No, when I enter *#*#7378423#*#* and go Service Info - configuration - Bootloader it says: Bootloader unlock allowed: No
What should I do?
You need to unlock your boorloader in order to get fastboot, in your case you can only unlock it via testpoint
You can only unlock via testpoint method or paid via wotan Server. But not sure how to do this with wotan and sometimes it doesn't work for some people...

Can you unlock phones that are sim-locked with the non paying method?
Maybe with testpoint method, search in General section, there's a tutorial for newbies

your Bootloader already Unlocked

@Golimasee first open the Bootloader unlocking tool as administrator (for windows 7&8 just right click on the tool and click on RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR)
after the app opens put in your IMEI, unlock code and after this switch off the phone and hold the Volume up button and connect it to pc through the USB cable and click on Unlock BL​
Hello
Is there an app, which can help me to check whether the bootloader is unlocked or locked?
Or what is the simplest way to check bootloader status?
Boot to fastboot/bootloader mode.
On huawei :
Hold VolumeDown key at boot before it vibrates WHILE with USB plugged in to PC.
If it shows 'Phone locked' that means bootloader is locked.

Yes as soon as you turn phone on you would get that annoying huawei message saying that the phone is unlocked etc
Messege can be probably erased. Maybe there is an app. Anybody knows?
How to :
1. Enter fastboot mode
2. Run these code:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
What will happen:
1. Bootloader will be locked, if you rooted or flashed twrp, renmenber to flash official firmware before relocking.
2. widevine level will be restored to L1.
3. All data will lost after relocking.
4. DRM key? I don't think we need it now and IDK if it loses either.

Could please upload the screenshot of the page configuration from the menu service?
Also, I advice you to hide your IMEI for security reasons

You need to use Xperia Companion to repair firmware.

I read many times and I still don't understand how to "run the code fastboot oem lock". I'm trying to reset and relock bootloader on phone after Sailfish
When unlocking the bootloader, you entered:
fastboot oem unlock (+ code from Sony)
when locking the bootloader, just type:
fastboot oem lock
Everything works, I have done tp several times.
