how to unlock bootloader - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I go about unlocking my boot-loader? I tried using flash tool, but it says my Xperia Z is not supported for unlocking?!
I did a clean install on my device..rooted...installed cwm..and now I need to unlock boot-loader, but I have no idea how to go about doing this successfully...and help or leads would be great! Thanks!

i tried this tut http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/tutorial-xperia-z-zl-bootloader-t2153261
But when I check my phone to see if I'm capable or not do unlock BL, it says I cant.
If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

Now what?!

The answer is in the post you quoted. If it says "No", then you can't unlock your bootloader. There's no way around it.

damn, guess I'm SOL. I want to be able to use kernel v25
EDIT: I see some post when researching stating that other users where in my situation and then it changed to yes somehow..

If you want to spend time trying to bypass it, then that's up to you. It 100% cannot be done. Nobody has broken the bootloader security on a Sony device since around 2011.

kingvortex is right, there's no way to bypass that security.

Bootloader locked means u cannot load anything at boot that would tinker with the basic core of the device, like u cannot use custom kernels when ur bootloader is locked that is y ppl unlock their boot loaders Google for further info.
As for the OP's problem :
This is a known issue when u root ur device without unlocking bootloader, the solution to this is to do a full repair using Sony Suite which will result in loss of all data phone ,SD card etc .
check this link out its clearly stated over there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186368
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 <yet to be confirmed>)
ROOT WILL BE LOST BY DOING THE ABOVE AND YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE MAY GET WIPED!
SO DO A BACKUP OF APPS & INTERNAL STORAGE ON AN EXTERNAL SDCARD/PC
How so some people can unlock the bootloader and some can't??

Can i root my Xperia Z1 or not?

Hi,
This is my first post here. sorry if its a lame one but ive spent weeks of frustration trying to root my fone but its just not happening.
people say i cant but then i find other places that have ways to do it then i spend days trying to do it (actully getting closer and closer) but then the end result is i have no rooted fone! Mainly because i cant complete the processes that there telling me to do. for example unlocking bootloader :/ WHAT A PAIN!!! and its still not done lol.
my phone details are....
Sony xperia Z1
Android Version (Now) 4.3 (Cuz i was told i was able to unlock bootloader on this version (Was i wrong!))
Build number: 14.2.A.0.290 (Same again,Been updated in my process of trying to root i think)
Dont no what else you guys need to help but them things come up often.
Please can someone just relive my stress and tell me if i can root or not, i would be very gratefull. if i can root then could someone also point me in the right direction to how to do this... simply step by step instructions (Pretending i have a new fone and a new laptop, needing to download EVERYTHING from fresh)
Dont see why the process cant be easy like iphones been jailbreaking them for years but there just rubbish fones!
thanks for any help in advance.

You can root your Xperia Z1. I don't see why you're struggling so much. You need to downgrade to .534 to root your phone.
Download this: http://www.flashtool.net/download.php

This is how you root...
Yes, you can root your phone with 4.3, without Unlock Bootlader.

Do i have to unlock my bootloader for any features on a rooted device? I only really want to root to get rid of those horrid bloatware apps, not really sure what else you can do with a rooted device yet but i want to learn. Last time i rooted a device was in the HTC Desire Z days haha.
Ive spent hours trying to follow Sonys instructions to unlock bootloader but it doesnt work so im hoping i dont need to.

No. You don't have to. Unlock Bootlader is needed only to flash Custom Roms with Custom Kernels. With Locked Bootlader you still can flash Custom Roms with Stock kernels and get Root.

If the bloatware on your phone is the main reason then you can flash via Flastool a Unbranded FTF Android 4.3 like I did, clean and smooth.

Back again, still with no root or unlocked bootloader. Bootloader i can unlock but it wont let me because it says "Waiting for Device" all the time. ive followed the Sony guide to unlocking bootloader untill the bit it tells me to plug the device in fastboot mode. then it says the comp will want to install some drivers... point the computer to the Google File/USB_Driver,
1. my comp doesnt even ask me to install drivers when plugged in.
2. when i point the phone to that file through "Device Manager" it says there isnt any drivers there. im guessing this is the reason why im getting the "Waiting for device" problem.
Anymore ideas?

I have no idea, when I plug mine, windows always install the drivers and I am on Win 7 Ultimate.
This is more complicated that it should be and it's related to bootloader problems so I think this is the only one who can help you, the OP of this thread.

How do i check to see if i have successfully Unlocked my Bootloader? I think i may have done it using a completley different way that all the tutorials tell me too :/
Also... if i go to settings/reset/ and factory reset my device, which i do, do alot of the time, will i have to unlock bootloader again each time?
And if i ever get to root my device, then same for rooting?

I think you should carefully read well all the tutorials because you getting confused.
If you do a Factory Reset you just reset your phone to how it was at the beginning and this will wipe all your data. (Apps, Data exc..)
Factory Reser have nothing to do with Bootloader or Root.
If you Unlock Bootlader, you will unlock permanently until you will not decide to re-lock it.
If you Root your phone you Root permanently. The only way to lose root is to flash a stock FTF not rooted.
Click many Thankx for my patience!

[Q] Bootloader unlocking?

Hi all.
Sorry if i'm repeating a question which has probably been asked many times here, but i can't find any help.
I have Z1 C6903 with root status "bootloader unlock allowed: no".
Is there any possible (safe/unsafe/other) way or method to change this to "yes" and to unlock my bootloader?
Thanks for your help.
I don't believe so. If it says no, unknown, or anything other than yes you are out of luck same boat unfortunately.

Majority of the posts i've read say this.
But, i've also read that if you can get your provider/operater to SIM unlock your phone (which i can for free), then you can contact sony by email, send them the sim unlock code wirh other relevant data, and if the data is correct and the code genuine, they pick up your phone and change the status to "yes" within 15 days, and return it back to you.
I'm trying to find out if thats true or just a rumor.
Aha, I wasn't even aware of this! But a quick search looks like you might be right, I had no idea...
[GUIDE] Unlocking Bootloader with Unlock Allowed:NO!

Yeah, i saw that thread already, but i dont see how using test pins is possible with the z1, as it doesnt have a temovable back cover or battery?
Please post your findings here, and i'll get a sim unlock code from my operator and then try to contact sony.
Good luck to us!

Frp locked

I cant unlock frp as It is grayed out the option of oem unlocking in the dev options

In fastboot it says

FRP Locked
did u try dload method?
yes I tried dload
It did not work
I can't upload zipI will send u the file to unlock frp or you can find that file in telegram group of our device
That wont work...
Go to terminal in root mode and do
Code:
Setprop sys.oem_unlock_allowed 1
Than you can change the value and its not longer greyed out.

If that dosent work you can also follow the below procedure.
Relock your bootloader. Your phone will factory reset and boot. Then head to developer options and you will see oem unlock is not greyed out. Then just enable oem unlocking and unlock the bootloader. When you boot up again you will see that oem is greyed out but it'll be enabled. So you'll have unlocked fastboot and unlocked frp now.

I haven't gone that far. I've unlocked and then relocked.
Everything fine. I believe it's completely safe if you have complete stock firmware installed ie, stock rom, stock recovery, stock Kernal and all that stuff. Otherwise you'll end up in a loop. Guess I forgot that part sorry.
So I know this is someone else's thread but can you tell me if I relocked bootloader will the service center be able to know I'd unlocked before? I don't have the phone unlocked warning at boot. Just curious.

Some if not all bootloaders nowadays are not "locked" by the manufacturer using a code but are usually "locked" by employing a digital signature and/or a CID (carrier Id) hard coded into the OS. When we "unlock" a bootloader with a code we are simply using a routine written into the loader by the manufacturer to now ignore signatures and/or CIDs of the OS and this allows us to flash whatever we wish.
Sometimes upon unlocking using a code the DS/CID is erased/altered and cannot be retrieved, so not a good idea to relock an altered bootloader.
At least, that is my understanding of it.

(Q) Query about bootloader and re-packaging an OTA

hi all,
Just having a thought (might not work but thought i'd ask)
Some OTA's / Firmwares which you can install from the bootloader have the ability to re-lock the device, would the same be possible for the other way around?
I mean i'm on a locked bootloader now cos of the crap i installed which updated me to 9.1, it relocked the bootloader, I can turn on OEM unlocking (FRP) but obviously it remains unlocked.
Would there be a way to repackage a firmware package so that it does the opposite to re-locking?
I think everyone has pretty much given up on Huawei devices, I was just trying to disable zRAM and i can't.
Any thoughts ? Is this a possible avenue? or is this simply not going to work?
I'd guess the latter but thought i'd ask.
Which firmware version relocked your bootloader? I can perhaps take a look at it in my free time.

Nope! DLOAD re-lock bootloader to factory condition, but there's no way to unlock the bootloader with it.
I don't think Huawei will give you the unlock code a second time, but maybe you will be lucky, who knows.
Maybe you can retrieve it from an email from them!?
Edit: You can download your HuaweiID data from Settings - > HuaweiID - > Privacy Center but i doubt you will get the bootloader code from there

I've spoke with them, they said they've not heard of a situation like this.
Bare in mind that this is information that has been passed to me before. Which is a correspondence, they are obligated to provide it regardless.
