Having had my fair share of issues with this phone, i've now found out that when i try to unlock the phones bootloader that I can't do it.
Went to the unlock bootloader page and tried it even though the phone said NO to unlock and it failed.
Does anyone know of a way around this?
Seriously had enough of this phone now, really annoying me, doesn't seem to be a lot of people with this issue either.
Bootloader Unlocking Allowed: NO
You can't unlock bootloader. Is impossible and no confirmation if even will be in some "unofficial" way.

I feel your frustration as I cannot unlock my c6906 either. To bad carriers opted to have this done. I didn't have the funds to straight out buy from Sony so I went the upgrade route from my carrier and paid $99 instead of the full $700 cdn.
Damn it! I'm on the same boat then.

Im with EE too and have the same issue. Im not fussed anymore, im selling the phone and will be getting the note 3. This phones the first phone ive had, in a while, that I havent flashed roms/kernels with. Shame on Sony/EE for messing it up.
Mine is from 3 UK and bootloader unlock is allowed

I've had my t-mobile/ee phones from phones4u and carphone warehouse. If you go through them, rarely are bootloaders/sims etc locked.
Just a hint for the future
That's why i never a phone from Provider
1. Bootloader 5h1t
2. not really somehow cheaper, as my home city is Hong Kong, can buy cheaper phone then provider easilly, especially for parallel version
3. ok, i know most of u are not from HK, buy it from Amazon or Ebay, ask the seller if the BL is unlockable.

I understand what you mean and I will never be doing that again, the reason i went with EE was because the insurance is way better than anywhere else, i'm a long standing Orange customer and their customer services for me have been top notch, I get 40% off my line (retail discount)
Could have went to CPW but didn't as they didn't have the deal i wanted, plus the insurance.
Will never make this mistake again but it is an absolute first for me, all my phones have always been from orange / tmobile / vodafone, never had an issue with the bootloader being locked down like that, damn them for it.
Will be going with O2 and probably the HTC m8 when it surfaces.
Won't putting different firmware on it solve this? Or is it put on the handset a different way?

Unfortunately you tried to give an answer without knowing.
I am losing my will to live here currently.
I apologise, but if you stick around a few days and read some threads you will see it was justified. It has been an Xperia issue for over 2 years. So there is LOTS of info about this if you just google it.
I will delete it anyway..

I was just asking a question. I have genuinely no idea how the bootloader is locked...it wasn't an answer, it was a question hence why I said "or is it..." - clearly I don't have the knowledge yet.

Keep trying, its a journey
One I have enjoyed, but I needed a few kicks in my arse to get on the right track,
You need to read, learn and try for yourself.... That way we all gain from the experience, instead of just handing out "updates" this is about modding and doing it yourself.
I do hope you understand..

I do get that- and I am reading around a lot...but I've only just got up on XDA and haven't really done a lot re:bootloaders before and it was close to xmas And with work I just haven't had the time. Next time just point me in the right direction and say "No, it doesn't work liek that - read this" or "look up this" instead haha. Either way, if you celebrate xmas have a good one, if not have a good day..
Hope someone finds out soon in regards to this.

Hello all,
Recently I purchased a $15 Prepaid MasterCard not knowing there was a $20 minimum top-up. I am wondering if there is any way to add less than $20 to my Google Wallet. Also, the "Other" option to add money does not work. ANY suggestions are greatly appreciated, thank you so much in advance!
Sincerely,
HeroKhar
The little policy thing they want you to read before you accept and use it declares that the prepaid can only be loaded with a minimum of 20. And the other is over 20 like 25, but the least you can put is 20. Google locked up security with the app so hackers can't steal money from them. Your only option is to buy a new prepaid card, VanillaVisa has 4.95 fee and i think walmart has 3.00 fee. Or you just going to have to swipe until you get more money. Maybe buy some nfc tags online and programming to do cool stuff. Your coolness factor for checking out at stores is going to go down, but most people seen this now so its not going to be as great as when the nexus first had it.

5) Did you reboot after doing everything?

Do you think that the prices listed by eBay are the final ones?
I mean when launched in India, they might increase them a bit! Like around 30k or something..
But if this is the price, then I am certainly buying it!

Well.. I got a ebay coupon with it. 7% off in Ebay. so I am getting it almost for 25000 (16 GB).
You can bargain with your local retailer when it is available for that much or even lower once it is available.
To speak the truth 350 USD is almost 19000 INR so with the local taxes here being high we can get it for 25000 and it will be a great deal.
Still lower the better.
Yep! 25k for such a high specs device is a great deal..
But I really do hope that it don't go beyond that! Since Indian markets have a habit of selling the flagship devices over 30k!

hmm.. but let's hope that this is going to break the price point.. if you really see the N8 (Bad comparision I know..) the flagship of Nokia was sold for 25?? well.. let's hope we are going back there.. but again depreciation.. but this is a real deal for such a pricing..
The only thing that bothers me is the back panel.. Which is totally glass!

What am I losing by switching from note 4? 3 less megapixels..I guess I'm in the impulse mood lol.

I used to have a note 4, and also really missed customizing my phone. I then sold it and bought my nexus 6 which rocks. I think all those gimmicky features on the note 4 are not really worth it.

If you want customization options, then you want a Nexus. Though xposed is limited currently, the custom ROM development is outstanding. This is one of the easiest devices to root/ROM and as long as you read and follow the guides, it is very hard to brick. Read the sticky roll up thread in the general forum and look for the beginner's guide. A great place to start.

haha well i changed my mind after just purchasing a Gear S yesterday and realizing what im losing going to a Nexus
Well if you like stock android the nexus 6 is a good switch. I came from a nexus 6 to a g flex2 to a note 4 and i like having a skin on top of android. I didn't really like the bone stock android but everyone is different. The camera is great with hdr + on but all the videos seem very fuzzy when compared to the other devices i owned.
Dear friends
i´ve just bought a second hand nexus 6, but it brings the Pure Nexus ROM, root etc.
I don´t understand anything about this, but i need some help to put the nexus the way it was out of the box
please, i need some help
many thanks

Settings - Backup & Reset.
You will see the reset options and maybe a name of the backup account.
You need to know the account name and password.
When the N6 is reset. It will ask to sign in with a Google Account that was*previously*synced on this device.
This is the anti-theft stuff of Google.
but it wont revert to stock ROM, only delete the user data

you have to flash a factory image while using fastboot, while in your bootloader. its that simple. if you dont know how, then read/research before you do it. if you still cant figure it out, you dont deserve a nexus.

sorry, i didnt want to sound harsh, really. but you probably can use a root toolkit as well, if you dont feel like learning anything about your device.

(and yes, id even help you if you asked me for help)

That was still an insulting and baseless statement. Maybe he just wants a pure Android experience. Saying that if he doesn't understand hacking his phone or want to, then he doesn't deserve a Nexus, is exactly the terrible and snobbish attitude you'd expect from a devout iPhone user.
Don't you find it a bit ironic that you ask HIM why he wants to start an argument, when he's following up on a statement you started that was clearly meant to be derogatory? [emoji19]

And 30 hours later after it died down, you have to start it up again?

It doesn't matter if it was a minute or 100 hours after the fact, two of the comments made were out of line. I was intimidated and afraid I would do something wrong the first time I tried to flash a ROM and I'm really glad I didn't get the responses that taita did or I'd probably never came back.

For me it's only a metaphor.
The point is use fastboot . The utility of Google to manage and flash our Nexus.
So just to get the ball rolling, I've pre-ordered 2 of these. On T-Mobiles BOGO offer. I'm hoping they ship early and arrive early. Usually I see a thread like this in every new forum for people purchasing to talk about arrivals and shipping.

I tried to get the same deal, but they refused as I didn't have the proper plan (BS). I still pre-ordered and my estimated ship date still says 11th-14th.
I've pre-ordered at best buy through at&t. Estimated delivery is the 10th. I was going to get the unlocked variant from Motorola but it was removed from their website before I could get one. Fingers crossed for an unlocked bootloader.

I did the same. BB was originally cheaper than AT&T, but has now raised its price to match AT&T.
I'm not sure why AT&T users get the shaft. Sprint is $24.66 for 24 months, and T-mobile gets a buy one get one free. If I wasn't grandfathered in to a dirt cheap plan I would have switched a long time ago.

TMobile really seems to give no ****s about locking bootloaders. I'm hopeful it's unlocked.
Well the tmobile s7 s8 is locked down so yea they do but not all

This was Samsung's doing. Not T-Mobiles. It's been discussed before.
It really dosent matter who is doing it the problem is they are now locking down all US models

It really does matter though. While Samsung maybe locking down all US models. Its important to know if Motorola or the other manufacturers have followed suit. Since we've seen nothing like that yet. It makes it safe to assume that since TMobile doesn't care to lock it, and motorola hasn't cared either, that it will infact be unlocked. I believe your either speaking from ignorance, or your just angry at the mobile industry moving towards increased security.
When talking about last year's Z force, Verizon prefers to lock all bootloaders. And that device was exclusive to Verizon last year. I can't speak on the international version.
This is good info for anyone watching this thread for reasons to...or not to preorder.
Well last years model is locked down thats why i say what i say

Not angry or ignorant just stating facts sorry you took it the wrong way but maybe you should just relax take it down a notch this is a discussion not a bash fest

HTC 10 is bootloader unlocked, but tmobile didnt carry it for very long at all. (Source, I own it, also easily checked here on XDA)
And as far as I know, the only phone they are selling right now that is bootloader unlocked is the LG V20. (LOS Install Guide, User Links other guides)

I think you've taken my post the wrong way. Ignorant simply means that you don't know. It wasn't intended as any sort of 'bash' or hurtful communication, and my statement of you being angry was to express that you appear to have a pessimistic view is all. None of it was meant as any sort of insult. Also, again, last year's US model was only on Verizon. Verizon is known for locking bootloaders. They did it with the note 5 when it was unlocked on Sprint and T-Mobile. At&t locks them as well.
For anyone looking at this thread wondering about purchasing or keeping their preorder. If you are in at&t or Verizon, I would expect to see the bootloader locked
.
Were are you getting info that international version was able to be unlocked i see nothing when i look on XDA there is no root roms or anything for last years model if you can find proof of it that would be great but like i said in XDA there is nothing so XDA is were im getting my info

Plenty more guides and what not. I'm sure there wouldn't be guides if it wasn't possible.
I don't see a z force of any kind with official dev support from Motorola. I should be able to pick my phone up from best buy Thursday or tomorrow if I'm lucky. Unless I'm absolutely blown away by it I think I'll be returning it as it seems development for this device is highly unlikely.
Even though it looks like it fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down, the Galaxy s8 active seems to be a much better phone if you're looking for a shatter resistant, durable phone. 4000mah battery, headphone jack and ip68...for about the same price it's kind of a no brainer. I've personally never owned a Galaxy device but they seem to be xda friendly.
I'm between that or holding out to see what Sony brings to the table. I've always had a soft spot for them and I'm typing this on a Z3 compact...with a shattered glass back.
