Very bad and incomplete tutorial.

1. “Use the USB cord for connecting the handset with the computer.Don’t misguide and waste people time.”
1. You didn’t tell how to get into fastboot mode, not even to mentioned we need.
2. “In cmd enter the command: fastboot -i 0x0fce getvar version.”
2. It won’t work without navigate to sdk folder first.
3. “Go back on the cmd window and enter “fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0Xkey”.
3. KEY should be replaced with the code SONY sent to your email.

Better none tutorial than a bad one. Don’t misguide and waste people time.

When I open command prompt (it’s this black thing, right?) and enter the command fastboot (…), it doesn’t recognize it.
Yes, I’m a newbie, but what’s wrong?
