[Q][T] "bootloader UNLOCK allowed:NO"

Hi all, I'm so sorry for posting this if there is similar thread. I've searched a lot about my problem, but still can't find a resolve. I want to update my Xperia T (LT30P) to JB 4.2.2, but my phone says "bootloader UNLOCK allowed:NO". I have read some threads but they are all too old and maybe outdated. I'll be very thankful if you help me to update my phone. Thanks!

Only if a rom uses a custom kernel you will need an unlocked bootloader. Stock based roms can be installed on a locked bootloader. There is however no 4.2.2 stock based rom, as there is no stock update to 4.2.2 (yet).
It really has all been covered in the All in One thread (sticky in this forum).

so I can't install even the CM10 ?

No I can't either for cyanogenmod you need a custom kernel which needs an unlocked bootloader

Did you read the first few lines in the first post in the first thread in the Q&A section?
It clearly states that if it says no, then you cannot unlock.
No unlocked bootloader = no custom kernel = no Cyanogenmod

same
I also encountered cases similar to yours and send mail to sony but they say that this case can not be unlocked

Right. What happened in that thread was Sony Xperia support gave customers of Movistar (one carrier) an opportunity to make arrangements to send their phones to Sony, so they could physically unlock their bootloaders for them. Sony offered that service to that specific group of Movistar customers that had received SIM unlock codes from Movistar. It's a little bit of an exceptional situation.

I dont think that its an exceptional situation. I'm from spain (sorry for the misspellings), and Sony Its unlocking bootloaders from all providers, in my case one Xperia V from Yoigo (Telia spain) its now on the Sony service for changing the status from unlocking allowed: no to yes for free.
This situation its a mess from sony, because all the devices sold as unlocked where unlocked from provider and can be unlocked the bootloader. But the ones sold from providers and locked to them, once you obtain de unlock code (from Yoigo in my case) only unlocks from provider and not the posibility of unlocking the bootloader.
The conditions for changing the status of unlocking the bootloader are that you have previously unlocked the provider by any way, I mean buying a unlock code or obtaining it from your provider. And prove it with the unlock code + IMEI contacting with sony by email. Then in one or two weeks sony will contact you to take the phone to unlock. Try contacting Sony, you have nothing to lose.
If you can read spanish or translate it here you have to posts where I take the info:
htcmania .com / showthread.php?t=746342
htcmania .com / poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=2119

Hi!
I got my V unlocked from Sony. I'm from Yoigo too and after conctacting Sony, they took my phone for free, changed the status to Yes and returned to me.
I read about it in the spanish forums htcmania (in the links provided in the previous post), tried it and worked

Xperia SP Unlock Sim

Hi there , I'm looking for someone on Xda who can Unlock my Xperia SP (T-mobile) for a low price.

Do you mean removing the Tmobile stuff?
If so you need to flash a unbranded stock ROM with flashtool
Do you mean SIMUNLOCK?
If so you need to contact your operator. Because you need an unlock code

The sp does not unlock with setools or similar. Like the other post said you buy a code
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

I know that , I created this Thread to see if someone on Xda forum can make me a good price on Unlock codes.
This is because I bought from UK and I'm from Portugal....

You Can do that self
Downlaod FlashTool and Your Xperia SP Firmware als ftf there you can flash your software on the device and the simlock is away

Debranding and removing sim lock does not unlock the phone to accept another sim card.....if this was all it took then we can all change carrier, tho I am no tech pro or dev etc I have had android phones for long time and know what will and what will not unlock the phone to accept another sim card.
All the method you talk about will allow you to do is change sim unlock no to sim unlock yes

I wanted to sim unlock my xperia SP C5306, and found a real cheap code deal (about 7 canadian dollars) here in this forum, from the advertisers.
But the couriosity drove me through a Google searching raid and found this:

But as I'm not an expert with these things, and am affraid of damage my phone or PC, I'm asking to the experient people in this forum, to check if it is for real, or just to input some virus on the phone, or something like that.
PS:
I downloaded the .rar, extracted, and checked with Avast, MS security essencials and Malwarebytes, and got all results clean.
Only didn't execute the file

[Q] One Click Root for C69XX on 4.3

Any one know if there's a one click root method coming out. Kind of a noob to the z1 if you couldn't already tell. I just got my z1 today on 4.3. Searching for everything and found vroot and kingo but none root on 4.3. I actually have the c6906 and there isn't as many methods for mine, mostly the c6902 and the c6903. Any solid methods for the c6906? I saw the videos and weren't much help when looking for the ftf files. I'm using on AT&T. Is there a solid ftf file for c6906 on AT&T.

You don't need to use region specific FTF's. Just use any FTF for c6906. You can find a rooting video guide in my signature.
Most likely one click root will NOT be available. It is too hard to find root exploits, and if there is a method available there is no point for developers to waste their time. Especially that new firmware versions keep being released.

I can't find any c6906 ftf files that aren't linked to Mega. We can't use Mega here in the US. You got any c6906 working links? and if I use any region ftf will I still be able to use it on AT&T?

i use mega all the time in the usa...

Hello! I'm kinda of a noob on this forum. I have a question which might sound dumb..I have a T-Mobile Z1s can I flash a similar firmware that doesn't have all the T-Mobile crapware? Does this need to get the bootloader unlocked?

we do not have root yet, our bootloader is currently unlockable. There is a bounty threat about root for our device.

Yeah I understand but can I do the flashing process or not

There arw no compatible roms to flash... You need an unlocked bootloader or root exploit to rom we have neither.

To all z1c / z1s users, i dont recommend u to unlock the bootloader of your device now
1. U will lose DRM key, bionz and X-reality will be gone (X-reality may be able to restored, but not possible for Bionz for now)
2. U may think about TA backup. But before doing TA backup u need to have the bootloader never unlocked yet but have your device rooted, in which this condition is impossible currently.
3. yeah, sucks to be u, but there arent so much thing u can enchanced on the z1c and there seems wasnt so much rom for u to install curently. plz wait

[HELP] Xperia Z T-Mobile to KitKat

Hi, I have a xperia z T-Moble (c6606) , but i´m living in mexico, its sim unlocked, and i want to upgrade it to 4.4 kitkat, i have tried to upgrade it via OTA and PC Companion, but the upgrade dont appear, i thought upgrading via flashtool but, i dont know what rom can i use, could someone give me a hand with it? thank you
i have found this one, but i dont know if it works for my device and my location
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/xperia-z-android-4-4-2-live-uploading-t2758684

Ask in the thread, or in Q&A, don't clog up the general with these simple question threads. But yes, follow the tutorials (Pro-tip: Use the search function! It's super useful!) for flashtool and flash any ftf from any region, some have different apps pre-installed etc. you can use them from any region. I bought a UK sim-free Xperia Z and I've flashed Taiwanese, German and Belgian ftf's.

No harm in trying, just make backup before. I'm on c6606 but in US and have always flashed UK or EU branded and they worked fine I just had to input my APNs for cell coverage.

Pm me so i can tell you what to do in spanish

I called t mobile US today. They have me the run around of we are testing it. Then the lay just stopped talking after I said most other TMo around the world have released it as had the generic US. The lay wouldn't give me an ETA. Then she didn't want to talk to me when I mentioned they missed several 4.3 versions.
All in all, I wouldn't wait on them. Wait for a pre rooted on here and go for it.

C6006 user here. From experience, there's not much difference between C6606 and C6603 firmware beside the band and customization.
Download the lastest FTF, make sure its for C6603, and flash.
As a precaution, tick "Baseband" when flashing.

I think you should try Canadian Bell?

Asking for a GLOBAL ROM for the Sony Xperia X Performance SO-04H

A month ago, I purchased a Sony Xperia X Performance from DoCoMo and I soon realised that I could not use neither NTTdocomo services such as Making a phone call, Texting, Using data,..., which are really essential for a student nor services from another careers. I spent my whole November on searching for a international rom for my Sony device, well, I did find it on Mobilecity site; however, I needs to have the permission from the owner to download, and unfortunately, the owner did not respond to my request. Now, I'm stuck in the Android 6 and maybe, I will have to live with Marshmallow eternally. Could any XDAdeveloper/member help me or give me a global Android 7, or even a global Android 8 rom for Xperia X Performance SO-04H (NTTdomomo)? I would be really appreciated
P/S: I am a new xda member so I am not allowed to attach the link

Anyone please ???

Have you tried using the Xperia Companion app on your PC? Just go to software repair tab, and follow instructions, after you're done just select a firmware you want from the list.

Oreo global rom available
i was able to do some research on the global rom procedure and able to create one for the locked bootloader version.
