    HOW TO UNLOCK BOOT LOADER ON XPERIA TIPO

    1. First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
    2. In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.
    3. GO Here and click Yes, I am Sure.
    4. Read through and accept the legal terms. Click I Accept.
    5. Enter your name, a valid email adress and the first 14 digits of your phone’s IMEI or MEID number (remove the last digit if necessary). Click Submit. You can view the IMEI or MEID number by entering *#06# on your phone.
    6. The unlock boot boot loader key will be sent to your email. Save it for later use.
    7. Download and install the latest Android SDK from developer.android.com.
    8. Download and unzip this file. This is the standard android_winusb.inf-file, with a few lines of code added to enable Fastboot to support Sony and Sony Ericsson devices. Make sure you are running Google USB Driver package revision 4 or higher in your Android SDK. You can see current Google USB Driver package revision in the SDK Manager.
    9. Place the unzipped file in the usb_driver folder, located in the Android SDK > extras > google folder on your computer. Accept to replace the old android_winusb.inf-file with the new file. If you can't find the usb_driver folder, please install the Google USB Driver Packager using the Android SDK manager.
    10. Turn off your phone.
    11. On your phone, push and hold the Volume up(+) button at the same time as you connect the phone to the computer with a USB-cable.
    12. 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.
    13. Go to the tools folder within the Android SDK folder and Open a command window(press shift button and right click on the window and select Open Command Window here).
    14. Enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version, and verify that you get a response back (for example "0.3"). This means your phone is connected properly.
    15. Warning! If you perform this step, you will unlock the boot loader. This may void your warranty and/or any warranty from your operator. If you still want to unlock the boot loader of your phone, enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY, where KEY is the unlock boot loader key you got in the beginning of this instruction. The boot loader should now be successfully unlocked.
    ENJOY AND NOW YOU CAN FLASH ANY boot.img or ROM on your mobile..

    1. Try This:
      Open Run window(windows +R) and type cmd
      A command window will open.
      Navigate to that folder and type that command .
      it might work..

      Or see if fastboot file is present in tools folder.
      If not then see in platform-tools folder. If it Is present there, then open command window in that folder.
      If it does not work, then contact me.

  3. Open sdk manager and tick android platform tools and untick all others and then at bottom select install package.
