Will O2 unlock bootloaders ?

[Anonymous]

Hi. I've got a Sony Xperia Z2 which just asks for a different rom (the one from O2 is full of bloatware and ther unnecessary stuff). I talked to live chat support and asked them about the bootloader and I have been told that unlocking my phone using the code which should arrive within 7 days after filling in the form, will also allow me to unlock the bootloader. They guy even said he preffers Cyanogen Mod (which could be a marketing lie). I have seen a lot of people saying that O2 does not unlock bootloaders, and if that is true I will never get a phone from O2 again. Android is supposed to be opensource. I also own the phone which means they have no right to restrict the features of my device. I do not care about the whole warranty thing, I just want to have a unlocked bootloader. So, I would like to hear from an official...

I imagine so, no worse than posting up name of flashtool etc but better clarify with "them upstairs"

I wouldn't risk it, pm maybe?

I am tempted to try but would like to know if anyone has any experience with this or is it just a scam.

No, not tried it and would have to be pretty desperate to risk it too.
But, if you do try it, let us know how it goes for you

I got root and all the lovelyness included, Xposed gives me most of what I want anyway so not sure if I want to risk this, but hopefully someone has tried and will find this post and will give us update.

Not really sure I'd want to connect my phone with all my personal details in it along with emails,passwords etc to a bootloader unlocking exe I stumbled across in an unknown blog.
But maybe that's just me
