Because as shown in the video, the app requires login to the unlocking server and credits. On his end, it requires a hardware dongle. Hence the USB network connection.

Buying an unlock code is typically cheaper than SETool unlocking. In Canada, an unlock code (which is once and permanent regardless of any modifications or flashing, as stated in the video) is only $5 whereas SETool unlocking is $20-$25 USD. If you only wish to unlock your phone to use on other carriers, just buy an unlock code. Bootloader unlocking is only needed for flashing custom ROMs.
@JeremyPhan

Both are typically interchangeable. Firmware = Sony. ROM = any software, custom or OEM. There are now ROMs built upon OEM firmwares that can be flashed onto locked bootloader phones. However, they don't have all the features as ROMs that can be flashed onto bootloader unlocked phones since you cannot flash custom kernels onto locked bootloaders.

@ntebis You can't brick it with the test point. Test point just puts your device in another mode, similar to how holding the back key puts it into flash mode.

Bootloader unlocking does not require root. If your bootloader can be unlocked, then unlock it with whatever method is available. Once unlocked, flash a custom kernel and/or recovery (which can be flashed without an unlocked bootloader). Then install a custom ROM (which again may not require an unlocked bootloader).

Software has nothing to do with the bootloader. You can flash any official Sony firmware on your phone and it'll say whatever it wants. The bootloader is before any firmware is loaded. If your device is in the supported list, it can be unlocked by the SETool2/1.

The "restore" function is typically used to relock though it's different for different models. The tool should save the data it's clearing but I've never used the s1tool since I had a carrier-branded arc and then an unsupported model (the arc s) so I can't comment. Check the GSM boards for the s1tool.

As far as I know, no. Only SETool can unlock the bootloader of carrier branded/locked phones. The only bonus is SETool SIM/network unlocks as well as bootloader unlocks. SIM/network unlocking is completely independent and does NOT unlock the bootloader or allow carrier-branded phones to use the free, official Sony Mobile unlock page/tool. Else, it'd be as simple as buying a $5 unlock code (at least in Canada).

3:13 You said 1- generic can use the official version and that 2- for carrier branded, you can use setool2 for all phones or s1tool for some phones. Since the s1tool site has the Xperia Play 4G listed as a supported model, I naturally drew the (false) conclusion that because my phone was supported, and you included it in the same category as SeTool, saying that SeTool unlocks all carrier models, but that s1tool unlocks only some, that it would unlock my AT&T branded Xperia Play 4G.
