Sony has an open policy for software developers:
- They are releasing AOSP sources under [Sony Open Devices Program].
- Jolla provides first-class support for installing [Sailfish OS] on select Xperias. That wouldn't be possible without Sony's openness.
- Jolla provides first-class support for installing [Sailfish OS] on select Xperias.
Since Sony likes to ruin a perfect thing:
- Sony requires you to request an unlock code from [their servers][Unlock Service]. They can pull the plug anytime. You have to send your IMEI and agree to warranty voiding.

Some carrier locked and US devices can never be unlocked. On Sony devices ([but not all?][service-menu-gone]) you can check if the bootloader is unlockable using the service menu.
1. Dial `*#*#7378423#*#*` in the dialer.
2. Tap "Service Info", then "Configuration", then "Rooting Status".
3. Under Rooting Status look for "Bootloader unlock allowed"
4. If "Yes", then the device is unlockable.
