Hi,
I am trying to unlock my Xperia T so I can run cyanogenmod, but cant unlock the bootloader menu to run fastboot. I read that if the screen below says "no" then it cannot be done.
Is this true? Is there any way around it?
Any help will be appreciated

I feel your pain brother.
You should add it to your all in one thread in big, bold, red letters.
I took the liberty of performing a search for you as you are obviously unable to do so:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=200246106
Its already in there in the FAQ but I took your advice

I bet it does, I just looked through post 2 of that thread, and it is written at least 3 times in there.....
Maybe if I can get it down to just every other day I have to answer this it will help.
Or, I could be mischievous and just start saying yes, of course it can be unlocked, but I am not going to tell you how!

To unlock the bootloader you need a magic key that ony Thor possesses:
I must add this to the OP of this thread,
Please do not be afraid to ask question in these forums again, but please PLEASE use the search function first. I (and others) are very keen to help, that's why we are here, to help each other as we were all nobs as well at some point. But the first and best lesson I learned was to Search and read and try for yourself before asking questions.
thanks for the replies, yes i know, should have, would have, could have etc...
One more question: why is it that some xperia T's can be unlocked and some not?
Please use the search function before opening up threads. Thanks.

I would say I agree but all s5 roms work on all s5 devices as long as they're not for the "s5 active". That means they work on all carrier models except for Verizon because they completely locked their bootloader. In theory, we should be able to flash the rom without any issues but that's looking like it's not going to happen unless we get a skilled Dev in here to help.

Its a lot to ask on someone but maybe if someone is willing to odin the hong kong(i think thats the region or place that this miui was created) firmware with the regions bootloader and firmware then flash the miui rom to see if that does anything? This wqs created i think back in march or april on the forum this rom was posted in so maybe they have something we dont? Because if i remember correctly the asia galaxy s5 differs fr ours as far as firmware and modem goes because i have had issues booting certain cm11 roms with the wrong firmware/modem. Just trying to offer any help but again i do not have a computer and am worried to flash other firmware that may hard brick my device :/ sorry...

I didn't know ROOT was available until I saw your post - I checked out Chainfire's CF Autoroot thread and found that he did indeed post a download for the TMOBILE NOTE 4 - you will find more information here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/orig-development/sm-n910-cf-auto-root-t2897428

I really wanted to hold out too. But I just cant anymore. especially with all the great developers getting on this device. I know the Custom ROM support will be great and it helps to really debloat the device. Anyway I wont be going without any protection. Im getting the Note 4 and then i will purchase SquareTrade's $100 for 2 years Insurance in case anything goes wrong. I still haven't voided Knox on my Dad's S5 or my Note Pro 12.2 because I'm so paranoid.

Refer to this link. There are different ROMs for different users, they can' t start a rumble and go for the best. One man's ROM is another man's paperweight.

This is because there is always a person asking for best rom/kernel in here, which is tiring to manage. I suggest you do what I did, root your stock phone and use it for a while. In the meantime, read through threads on problems encountered by other users and take note of their solutions. There are plenty of threads on how to change from custom and stock ROMs, these are the ones you are more likely to receive support from.

Hi guys! I found a Combination ROMs for our phone, they have enable OEM unlock, hope it works to make root and TWRP for Snapdragon variant.

Is these combination ROMs can possibly work with SM-G965W (Rogers) or any other way around?

Again, no.
These are posted all over the internet and do NOT allow you to unlock or get root on the us or Canada 96XU and 96XW models. They also don't help bypass rmm prenormal on exynos (96XF/FD) or unlockable snapdragon (96X0) models. In short, they don't help with anything, other than frp bypass which is not a permitted topic on here. If anything they waste more time than anything because every time someone posts this stuff the same questions have to be answered again, and before they are people some time trying the same things that have been tried hundreds of times before and are known not to work. I personally don't think that is very helpful

Correct me if I'm wrong but I've read through the entire thread and nowhere did it say that this won't boot. Like definitively somebody said it won't boot on the 9650u. Don't come at me with that garbage I'm not out here making these stupid threads. Seriously. Obviously if it was this easy to get root then someone would have it for my device, no ****. Don't come at me with that noob parlor stuff. Seriously. The point is has somebody said "this ROM will not boot on your device" nobody said anything about this ROM actually. Is it exynos? Is it actually a COM .tar? Does it boot period? Where'd it come from? Don't come at me with your cheap post about being mad because somebody asked a question you knew the answer too. I'm sick of it on this specific forum.
Also don't take what I say to heart. I sound like an ass but it's hard to convey emotion over the internet.

Well Do you know what Version of FW you are running? like G960USQS7CSI5 or G960USQU7CSK6.? I Used a Combination Firmware to Flash the Phone, You should be able to get into the phone settings enable everything you need and in settings, like Developer Mode,OEM-Install, and USB Debugging. This how a combination Firmware should look (COMBINATION_FAC_FA80_G960USQU7ASJ1_FACFAC_CL13230190_QB26521439_REV01_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.EF).
