my phone is showing me that it cant unlock boot loader when i see in service test bt typing *#7378432#*#*
i am from india and using normal xperia z (not any docomo or any)
can any one say what to do for getting permission for unlocking boot loader
Short answer - you can't unlock it ever.
The only exception would be if the status changed to disallowed after rooting. There is a fix for that somewhere in Doomlord's rooting thread.

First time I checked, I was also disappointed, a few days later I realized that I checked the status without having a root phone. After I rooted the phone it said yes for me.

Mine has always said 'Yes', even before I rooted.

Maybe. Only if the bootloader was actually unlockable to begin with.

Short answer:
If your device says Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No, it means you CAN'T unlock your bootloader.

Unless it was rooted, as this sometimes changes the status to 'No' as stated in the first post of Doomlord's thread. I used bin4ry's tool and the bootloader status was untouched.
Edit:

if u had an unlockable bootloader device, after using this method the device will be detected as LOCKED or unlock not possible!!! (to fix this use this fix)
...........
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 )

Hello, everyone.
I know nothing about rooting, flashing or unlocking bootloader. What I really need is to unlock the network of my phone. It was bought in Portugal locked to the TMN network. I am now back to Brazil and want to use it here. The conventional method of unlocking network is buying a code, but I want to know if there's a way to do it with no expense. What do you guys recommend?
Sony XPeria Z
Model: C6603
Bootloader unlock allowed: NO!!!
Thanks!

Hello and welcome to the forums.
The only way to network unlock this device is with a code, either from the original network provider or from an online seller. It is not possible to unlock any other way.
Additionally, as you're new here, I will suggest you should start a new thread when you have a question in future instead of bumping a very old thread unrelated to your question.

Ok. Sorry about that. I am also new here on XDA.
Thanks for the help. I will have "open my wallet" then
You're welcome and don't worry about it.
It might be helpful for you if you read the forum rules and a message from the moderators, as they both contain some useful information for your time on XDA.

Hi, welcome to the forums.
This is the Xperia Z section. You should ask questions regarding the Xperia Z3 in the Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.

I'm thankful that there are still wanting to address this issue of the bootloader not being unlocked. So my question is as such - Is there anyway (either by contacting T-Mobile, or Sony) that my phone, which is is SIM Unlocked (I know SIM unlock has nothing to do with bootloader unlock), can be bootloader unlocked? I'm just hoping that I can either get with Sony/Tmobile and have them do it, or even if there is a legitimate paid service out there then I will do that too! Any kind of help or anything would be appreciated! All I read is, 'If you're bootloader says no than that means NO', or I will often see people say that their bootloader says no and yet they can still enter fastboot mode.
Currently my device is Sony Xperia Z C6606 Tmobile version. I'm going to try to switch out my microUSB cord and see if fastboot works then. I'm still trying to have some kind of hope that maybe it will somehow work and I can flash a custom rom. Currently, whenever I plug in my phone into any computer, (with drivers installed) it never even shows up in the Device manager so I'm thinking it's an issue with my cord. It charges the device only.
Or should I just sell this phone and get a different android phone where I can unlock the bootloader? lol
Thanks!
You can only flash stock based roms with a stock, unmodified kernel.
Fastboot will connect even with a locked bootloader, but the commands you can use are extremely limited and in your case you cannot do anything with it at all. Your USB cable is not the problem.
If you want to flash CM/PA/AOSP etc, then you'll have to buy a new device. The bootloader is non unlockable. Nobody has cracked the security yet and I don't think anyone is even working on it, to be honest.
Sony or T-Mobile will not unlock it.

Hello!
I have a Sony Xperia Z1 C9603
Currently running
757 by [NUT] ( I followed this guide he have in Z1 General section )
I'm currently locked to the carrier "3 (Three)" and i wish to have it SIM-Unlocked so i can use my other SIM-Card i have,
Is this possible?
Because no matter what FTF i choose the phone is still branded and when i start the phone it keep asking me for "PIN-Code To Unlock Network"
So right now i don't have any connection at all on the phone.
Could someone please help me?
Sim lock has nothing to do with which firmware you are running.
You must either speak to your network provider or pay someone in a mobile phone shop to get it sim free
Unlocking the bootloader should allow sim unlock

The only way is to pay for a code, either from your carrier or 3rd party site. Any O2 contract owners can do it for free though.

Not on Sonys, which I've owned a few of. You need a code.
Hello ! Been browsing xda for few years and found a lot of good info here , keep up the nice work. But now i got some issue and i cant find anything to solve it , maybe some of you could help me.
My problem is that i recently bought a Xperia V, was bought i think from JAPAN , on the top writes on it NTT DOCOMO - has a locked SIM card.
What i tried -
-unlocking bootloader with official sony guide , but if i type *#*#service#*#* says to ROOTING STATUS - BOOTLOADER UNLOCK ALLOW - no, anyway to the SIM LOCK - [x] Network - Unlimited , this means i got unlimited tries to the code it locks it ? still didnt found a way to unlock bootloader
-rooted phone, installed custom recovery
But still havent manager to get rid of that simlock , everytime my phone boots up asks a NETWORK SIM UNLOCK PIN.
Status
Model LT25i, Android Ver. 4.3, Build No. 9.2.A.2.5 ( ask for more info if needed )
I can downgrade to any version using flashtools.
Anyone can guide me if is there anything i can do ?

Same problem here..i'm from Philippines and my phone is lock to Smart Communication Network Postpaid. Been looking for solution for this. Hope somebody here in the forum can help us.
Hello everyone,
I am looking for sim unlock on my new Xperia Z1 for free, for 7-8 days now... Nothing found ! No free way to do. :crying:
Then I saw some threads speaking about this file : simlock.ta. And then I was thinking "And if only this file may sim unlock my device ??"
So I would like to know:
What's this file ? And what should it do on my phone ?
Then... If I modify this file, can I Unlock my Xperia Z1 ? (locked SFR - France...)
I think understand that, if simlock.ta is deleted, there is no way to use network from any carrier. But, what about Editing simlock.ta ?

I'm looking for sim unlock too, I'm waiting for some hacker or ROM developer give me a light because I'm not from Europe and I have 0 attempts to insert the unlock code, its really hard to me, I have Samsung galaxy S2 locked to orange and I simply install a Galaxy S SIM unlock application on my device and done, the device got unlocked.
I thought with Xperia Z1 would be like that and then I bought, unfortunately I have that issue, a blocked Xperia Z1 .

Yes, Sim Unlock seems to be more easy on Galaxy devices. A friend tell me to try a custom ROM but no result, my Xperia Z1 still ask me the unlock code :/.
I think Simlock infos are stocked in the bootloader because of the carriers lock it systematicaly... But this file awake some questions in my head and... if there is any link with sim unlocking. I want to know how .

I just don't get it, be Samsung or sony or motorola, every device of these companies run android on their devices, android is the same thing at last, I really don't see the difficult. At past a guy hacked NASA and another perform jailbreak on Iphones, what's the matter of simply unlock Sim on Xperia?
Things way more difficult were done before and by the way a unlock sim system already were done for Samsung with android, this could be like a model for others devices, or not, does really the phone brand cares that much about this?
