    how to unlock experia st26i locked bootloader?

    Does anyone know how I can unlock sony experia st26i boot loader which is locked?
    I have found a set of instructions but having no luck at all, could do with more details and alot of help

    I'm having a problem with instructions 2a onwards (below), I cant get the phone into flash mode by holding the volume + button. Where am i supposed to install cwm file etc. I need more details if someone could help pls.

    These are the instructions I have found :
    Installation Instructions

    I recomend staring on rooted .31 firmware. Make a nandroid backup before you do anything

    1a) download rom zip & ftf file place rom zip on the root of sdcard not in a folder.

    2a) Locked BL- Download & install CWM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2333078 the jb kernel to reflash is .21 FW just flash my kernel ftf. Or Downgrade to ICS & root & Install CWM

    2b) Unlocked BL- Flash CM10 Kernel for CWM

    3) Boot into CWM wipedata/factory reset wipe cache partition Navigate to Advanced wipe Dalvik cache

    4) Next navigate to mounts & storage format/system (ONLY SYSTEM)

    5) Next go to install zip from sdcard. Then Choose zip from sdcard. Find my AVD Rom V1.x.zip install.

    6) When Installation has finished navigate back to advanced and choose fix permitions

    7a) Locked BL- After that take the battery out for at least 10 seconds[/COLOR] (NOOB'S IF YOU HAVE FLASHED FROM ICS DO NOT LET THE PHONE BOOT UP AS THE ICS KERNEL IS STILL INSTALLED YOU WILL GET A BRICK)

    7b) Unlocked BL-Take out battery Flash my kernel ftf or you can use vengeance kernel.

    8) Open flashtool drag my Stock Kernel ftf file you downloaded into the flashtool window when files have finished preparing connect phone in flashmode (hold vol- key while connecting usb) NOT NEED IF FLASHED FROM .31 fw. when its finished flashing reboot and enjoy a stable stock jb rom
