Unlock Bootloader on XA2:
Go to https://developer.sony.com/develop/o...ck-bootloader/
-select device -Xperia XA2-
-enter IMEI
-check the two acknowledge boxes
-click 'submit'
-note down 'Unlock Code'

-on device: enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging in Developer Options (Settings > About phone and tap seven times on Build number to enable developer options)
-turn off device and unplug
-hold volume UP !!! and connect device via USB to enter fastboot mode (LED turns blue on device upper right corner)
-check drivers and device manager
(I used latest adb and fastboot drivers from google https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/re...er_windows.zip
and minimal adb fastboot from https://androiddatahost.com/wp-conte...oot_v1.4.3.zip)
-open cmd in ADB install directory
-check if device is present with
Code:
fastboot devices
-enter
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x<your unlock code>
e.g.
fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xF21B4F37FFFFFFF
Done

Note: VOLUME UP activates fastboot and VOLUME DOWN enables flashmode and/or recovery mode

btw.
O2 Germany sells Xperia XA2 for 199,-€ (no contract)
