Bootloader status

Sorry for the n00b question but how can i check if a have a device with locked or unlocked bootloader?

Type *#*#7378423#*#* into the dialer then press "service info" > "configuration" > "rooting status". It will tell you if it's locked, unlocked or even unlockable.

You can also connect your device to device to flashtool and know its status:
If it shows bootloader : rootable, then it's locked and if it shows bootloader : rooted, then its unlocked. Simply connect thro your MTP or MSC mode after opening flashtool! Hope this helps!

That is strange since I got an international model without carrier. Bought it without plan at a retailer. Maybe it's this because I rooted the device before wanting to unlocking the bootloader?

I was reading on the forums that sometimes rooting with a certain method changes the bootloader status to not unlockable, but there's a flashable zip file that fixes it.
I got mine from Handtec, and after I rooted it, the bootloader status said not unlockable. Although, I didn't check the status BEFORE I rooted...

With the current rooting method there is a known problem which changes the status in that menu, there is a fairly simple fix, but it is only cosmetic. I did not run the fix and mine said no, but it unlocked just fine

THANK YOU MAN
It worked with me

Flash the new firmware 10.3.a.0.423 without even unlocking the boot loader then use doomlord easy rooting toolkit v15 then install cwm locked bl-xz and you are done.. Google every thing i mentioned for guide. Its very easy. Then you have now the new firmware 4.2.2 rooted and custom recovery

As long as you have v20x and below, it is unlocked. If you have v30 (ICS), you have a locked BL. Just flash v20 and it ll be unlocked

Z3+ Bootloader Unlock

I have the single sim international version of the z3+ and it says the Bootloader is unlockable in the service menu. So the question is how do I go about getting it unlocked?
Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

If it's indicated as unlockable, then there's no way to unlock it.

There should be instruction on Sony's website. Unlocking bootloader doesn't do anything for you unless you know what you're doing. It doesn't give you root access but erases your TA partition where you will lose all of Sony's DRM keys.

I'm aware of what unlocking the Bootloader does. Honestly don't care about drm or warranties as I never have phone long enough to break them anyway.

Care to explain? Because from where I stand that comment makes less than zero sense.

Sorry, I may have read it wrong and replied too fast. To clear any doubts, please indicate what exactly is stated in the menu. Is it "Bootloader unlocked allowed: Yes"?
In any case, this is the Sony site to unlock your bootloader: http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
That being said, I don't see why you would want to unlock your bootloader now. There are no custom ROMs or kernels developed for the Z3+ yet. You can't even root it.

You'll have to wait then.

Got a question
Got unlocked bootloader without possible root (5.0.2v 28.0.A.8.266 firmware E6533 (z3+ Dual)). Used flashtool before unlock and saved S1 Dump in Advanced menu. Is it possible to get DRM keys from S1 Dump and restore bootloader lock?

you should downgrade to the 251 firmware so you can flash the modded stock kernel for root access.im using imagebreaker kernel. check out zrom also

Ok pikeylfc,
I see that imagebreaker kernel is for e6553 device. Mine is e6533 (Dual sim)... I doubt if the same kernel can be used... It has different hardware.

Not necessarily. When you have active myXperia service, service tests will show, that bootloader is not unlockable. Try to disable myXperia (Settings -> Lockscreen and security -> Protection in myxperia (or something like that) -> disable/deactivate). Then reboot your phone and check again. It's high probability, that bootloader change state to unlockable in service tests. myXperia is asking you to turn on in initial configuration (if you have new phone or after wipe), and most people turn it on by default and forget it.

Sir, the quickest, most cursory check thru this forum will tell you all you need to know about Honor bootloader unlocking.

Honor has discontinued their bootloader unlock program for all Honor devices, unfortunately.
