I am newbie on Nexus G1 - sorry.

Hi,
You will see an unlocked icon at boot.

Sorry, can't post link yet.
What do you need to do ?
Flash a custom rom ? Don't need unlocked bootloader for that now (unless you are in 2.3.4)
Re-lock bootloader to sell phone ? You can't.
I don't see any icon at boot. I have installed Mark Denver's ROM 2.3.5.
Well if you don't see the unlocked pad lock at the splash screen that means your bootloader is locked. And just so you know you can do almost everything with only root access you don't need an unlocked bootloader.
Hi guys, I'm on 4.3 .290 central europe. Bootloader unlock allowed: yes. I want to unlock bootloader and flash a rom because i hate the way the nav bar takes up so much of our screen. There's alot of Do's and Don'ts and was wondering can some one point me in the right direction as i'm confused. I don't care about warranty i just want full screen (transparent nav and status bar). Thanks

Howsit Guys
Need a lil help here. Im currently on firmware- 10.4.1.B.0.101 with [Root & XZDR] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2643898 <-- via this method.. all Works sweetly.. Problem is that i want to unlock my bootloader. Ive checked in the service menu, unlocked bootloader is allowed.
I am currently trying to unlock bootloader with latest version of Flashtools(unofficial way).whilst phone is on, i connect cable, startup flashtools, it detects device. Then i click on lightningbolt icon, to unlock bootloader. menu comes up asking to remove cable, power off phone n goto flashmode.
When i get to the part where it asks to select my device, i click on xperia z. And i get a FAIL message saying i cannot officially unlock bootloader?? Do i need to be on stock .244 firmware or stock kernal to unlock ? Or am i going through it the wrong way. main reason i want unlock bootloader to install cyanagen mod11 nightly.
Thnx
Done
Sorry for the silly post.. managed to unlock my bootloader..
In general, I would like ask about unlocking my Xperia LT30AT. I've unlocked a phone before but it has been a long time.
I seem to recall that when I unlocked my first phone, I downloaded a developer kit that you use to root and unlock the device. I am interested in doing that to my LT30at, but I don't want to use any custom roms like Cyanogenmod.
What I would like most of all to do: to
(1) root and unlock the phone,
(2) keep the (functionally) authentic Android OS, and
(3) Get all the AT&T apps off the phone for good.
...but I would settle for just the first one, for starters.
Any suggestions? Thanks! MX

it's interesting to me for the same model lt30at.
In addition I wanted to know if you lose your 4G LTE Thanks to all who respond
* P.S. many links to files in the root of the sony t is no longer usable
To root this device you should use the flashtool, you can't unlock bootloader at all. Me I rooted it added a recovery. Then flashed a unbranded firmware via the. Recovery. Kept root that caused everything to work pretty Ok now my att TL is rooted with 4.3 with a few bugs

Since you want the phone to be rooted, you have only 2 options:
1) If you want to stay on 4.1.2: flash any generic 4.1.2 FTF using Flashtool and exclude the baseband in the process, then root the device.
2) If you want to upgrade to 4.3: follow the guide in my signature.
Bootloader cannot be unlocked.

If you update to 4.3 using Flashtool you will lose root access to the device because there is no exploit available yet. Carrier lock is SIM lock and is managed separately from ROMs.

Are you sure it's "bootliader unlock allowed: yes"? LT30at have always come with locked bootloader.
Carrier lock us SIM Lock. As I've said before it's nit affected by any kind of flashing. It's stored in a different location.

Yes , Bootloader unlock allowed in my device is YES . Firmware is 9.1.F.1.120 , android 4.1.2
So can i update my device to 4.3 ?
You're probably the first person I've seen with a TL with at&t firmware (I'm assuming since it's 120 firmware) that has an unlockable bootloader.
Yea I must 2nd that how did that happen

Ok i bought this z3 compact today and really want to remove all the bloatware which comes pre installed however my rooting status is the following Bootloader unlock allowed: No
What can i do to root my phone, i searched around a bit and all i can find are the tutorials to do this with the Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes
i dont really care about the DRM camera problem as i use the camera very little and have no problems with unlocking the bootloader but i cant seem to find info on how to do this with the " Bootloader unlock allowed: No" status .
any help is greatly appreciated.
Z3 Compact Model: D5803
At the moment there is currently no root solution for locked bootloaders unfortunately, a bounty thread has been created here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/bounty-root-unlocking-bootloader-method-t2940539
Where did you buy the phone? Is it possible to return for a refund and find a retailer that sells unlockable models?
On the other hand, bloatware can be removed via ADB on unrooted devices. Thread in Z3C android development section
O2 store, oh well happy enough to remove the bloat ware as mentioned above.
Thanks for the swift reply guys really apreciate it.
Stay classy.
I'm not really sure, but maybe you can do that by installing an other stock Romney using flashtool or the pc companion or Emma if you have an operator customized phone, that maybe why it is locked
