Hey guys,
i want to remove the netlock from my device with omnius.
Can someone help me because i'm not sure when i remove netlock with omnius my bootloader is locked again?
now i have unlocked netlock with omnius and have a locked bootloader...
anyone have experience to get the bootloader unlocked again without loose radio?
No, you will lose radio...if you've searched, you would had found your answer

i want to do the same. so you say that all functions will work and i will have bootloader unlocked, if i unlock with omnius (first the netlock, then the bootloader)?

Which credits do you have bought?
Kernel images are special or are the ones found in Xda (like Naa o Alf's kernel)?
I'm very interested in this, and probably many people.
Anyone other tried this?
One thing is for sure, if you use flashtool and then Omnius you have high chances of failure or sim relock.
I've read that after that you can flash kernels for free (no additional credits) with omnius with the unsigned flash function. Could you confirm that?
thanks

I was wondering if there is a kernel for locked bootloader??
Nope, you need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash a custom kernel.

Bootloader locked means u cannot load anything at boot that would tinker with the basic core of the device, like u cannot use custom kernels when ur bootloader is locked that is y ppl unlock their boot loaders Google for further info.
As for the OP's problem :
This is a known issue when u root ur device without unlocking bootloader, the solution to this is to do a full repair using Sony Suite which will result in loss of all data phone ,SD card etc .
check this link out its clearly stated over there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186368
Troubleshooting:
if your device has unlockable bootloader then after applying this hack the bootloader status will turn "Bootloader unlock allowed: No"
in that case dont worry the users have reported that doing a repair via SEUS will flash back stock firmware and turn this status to "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes" (the same might also be achieved by flashing a stock FTF using FlashTool <yet to be confirmed>)
ROOT WILL BE LOST BY DOING THE ABOVE AND YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE MAY GET WIPED!
SO DO A BACKUP OF APPS & INTERNAL STORAGE ON AN EXTERNAL SDCARD/PC
How so some people can unlock the bootloader and some can't??

Hi there.
After i unlocked* the bootloader of my phone i got stuck in a bootloop, then i had to flash the TFT all over again...
The problem is that i don't know if the phone is already with bootloader unlocked or not...
how can i check it?
I was thinking on trying to do the unlock steps again, but i'm scared of being trapped on another bootloop...
Is there a way to check if the bootloader is already unlocked?
PS: The bootloader unlock allowed is yes.
thanks you guys.
Flash doom kernel via fastboot with this command:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
If you get an error than your bootloader is not unlocked.
You can flash back to stock kernel with flashtool,flash the kernel separately.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
but if i got that error and confirm that the bootloader is locked, is there any chance to harm the phone? or need to flash the TFT again, etc etc
use flashtool to tell you
Another more easy approach .
When bootloader unlock allowed says yes and be2 is working in Album, then it is still locked and you can start the unlock steps again.
How can i use flashtool to tell me?
@DevShaft
Before i could see in a flash the bravia engine working on pictures. There was a little delay... Now i can't see it.
Probably the bootloader is unlock.
If i try to install Doom's kernel via recovery and the bootloader is LOCKED, can it do any harm? thanks guys

bootloop and u will have to use FTF to fix it.
Thanks man.
I'll wait the new firmware or android 4.2 to see it.
thanks everyone.

I unlocked my Xperia Z and in Service Mode I can see 'Bootloader unlocked: Yes'.
Now my phone is running on latest C6603 firmware and DooM Kernel.
To my surprise, BE2 still works! Music info download still works! TrackID still works!:victory:
But not picture enhancement in album right? Hope you backed up TA partition before unlocking

im surprised at how this 'check bootloader is unlocked already or not' thread is confusing.
by the previous post, there is two 2 ways
1. try to flash doomlords kernel via fastboot, and if it doesnt flash means its NOT unlocked.
2. flashtool.
however the 2. flashtool method is very vague.. dont think anyone elaborated it.
So my same query is that if some error occurs after trying to unlock bootloader, and have reverted back to the stock FTF rom in original working state.
How do one check to see if my bootloader is unlocked or not?
whats the best easiest method???
Thank you!
just type in *#*#7378423#*#*
Go to Service Info > Configuration
And check the Rooting Status
If its Bootloader unlock allowed:Yes/No, then its not unlocked.
And if its Bootloader unlocked:Yes, then its unlocked.
Thanks

That just tells you weather you can unlock your bootloader via the command / flashtool e.g. If you carrier has locked your phone
On a unlocked bootloader the BE2 engine still works on videos ect just not pictures.
All I would do Is flash doom kernel or advanced stock kernel via flashtool (Click on lightning bolt /fast boot / click on put device in fastboot via adb now phone will enter fastboot then select kernel to flash which is in the middle on the pop up screen and then flash if it will take around 0 . 5 seconds ) if it fails then you bootloader is locked due to it cannot complete the command if is successful then it's unlocked and you can flash custom kernels take about 2 mins to do all in all

unblock SM-G350E bootloader
Can any one tell me how to unlock bootloader for SM-G350E
After of a few hours of driver issues (adb windows 8 sony xperia z too) I have managed to make them all work.
I tried root without unlocking, no luck with that method
I tried unlocking with flashtool, It said "Done", my first doubt is how I can check my bootloader is unlocked?
After this I tried unlocking with the official way (sony, and I got bootloop,on sony animation logo)
So I had to flash the 10.3.A.0.423 (the one I had previously which I flashed it with flashtool)
Now I think pictures look a bit worse because I have unlocked the bootloader and I have lost the Bravia Engine but maybe its just me, how can I check if I have unlocked succesfully my phone? If I have unlocked it I have lost the BE? I tried to save it with no luck because I wasn't root
How can I succesfully install a recovery for installing another rom? all the tutorials aren't working for me neither the locked recovery cwm or the unlocked one..
Can someone link me to other tutorials?
The order is Root, Unlock, Recovery?
Flash doom kernel with fastboot,it has root and recovery.
If it's successfully flashed that means you have an unlocked bootloader.

In service menu (*#*#service#*#*) it will tell you "bootloader unlocked" ; if it's still locked you'll have "bootloader unlock allowed : yes"
okay so i just recently unlocked my phones sim , from fido
i bought a code online from cellunlocker.net
it shows that i dont have a sim lock, yet in my service menu it still shows "bootloader unlock allowed : no"
isnt it supposed to say bootloader unlock allowed : yes now? or is it supposed to be like this?
Bootloader and sim unlock are different things just by unlocking one of them, doesn't mean the other will be unlocked.
By unlocking sim it just means you can use another carriers sim.
Bootloader is kernel related, unlocking will allow the use of custom kernels which means custom ROMs.

Bootloader is bootloader related. By unlocking the bootloader you can indeed install custom kernels.

Like zolaisugly says, there is no connection between sim lock and bootlocker. A sim lock is a sim lock and the bootlocker is a bootlocker.
I also think if you read this thread this question has already been asked and answered. So, it is normal that your phone still says "Bootlocker unlcok allowed: no". It is impossoble to unlock your bootlocker (for now).
