Hi,
I just bought my Z1 today and is ready to root it. This is my first Sony device so Im still getting used to it.
Ive read some guide on unlocking the bootloader. However Im a bit confused as to the the status "Bootloader Unlock Allowed?: Yes"
Does this mean;
1. The device can be unlocked.
2. Or the device is already unlocked.
Please clarify, thank you.

Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes <==> You are allowed to unlock your bootloader. Or: your bootloader is unlockable, but it isn't unlocked right now.

Thanks for the clarification.
That means that YOU CAN unlock your bootloader. After you unlock it it will say bootloader status: rooted.

This have nothing to do with Unlocking Bootloader. Unlock Butloader now and you will be fine, with 4.3 the camera was fixed.
but on the info about bootloader unlocking it says not to proceed if bootloader unlock is no in service menu i dont wish to end with a brick

Have you tried unlocking? When this has happened on Xperia T's the devices were still able to be unlocked even though that had changed. There is absolutely no risk in trying to unlock an unlockable bootloader, it will just fail in the process and will still boot no problem.
It has never been reported a NO had turned to YES, but some Yes had been turned to NO, and they were still bale to be unlocked.
And before anyone gets excited this is by no means something that can be used to unlocked bootloaders that are really locked, it is just a false reading of the boot status.

Ok, so it's risky. Is not a big problem even if you don't unlock the bootloader but are you sure was saying yes before? this is wired.
You can flash updates and custom roms anyway. Not custom kernels. Sorry.

Open the dialer and press this *#*#7378423#*#* to open the service menu
then go to service info, then configuration
Then if under rooting status it is written bootloader unlocked : yes , that means your bootloader is unlocked
thanks but it only says that it is allowed to unlock the bootloader. but i want to see that i have sucsessfully unlocked my bootloader.

if it says it is allowed to unlock bootloader that means it has not been unlocked you still have to unlock it
Hello! So i bought my Sony Xperia SP and when i check the service menu Simlock: NO, Bootloader Unlock Allowed:NO.
I read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/general/tutorial-unlock-completely-xperia-t2534127 that when your phone is
simlock: Yes and bootloader: No you cant unlock the bootloader. Is there a solution to unlock my bootloader when its NO to both ?

You cannot unlock the Bootloader if it says "Unlock Bootloader Allowed: No" in your service menu.
And trying any other methods to unlock it will probably brick your device. There are a lot of LB ROMs out there try out. Try them if you want.
Of course i want to change the rom, but for example cm12 has a lot of bugs and the other roms are for UBL. .

The answer is in your post. Your bootloader is unlocked, you never relocked it. Put your phone in fastboot and you will see a violet led...
Yeah it seems your bootloader is still unlocked.
No my phone bootloader not unlocked now, and when l connect my phone in FASTBOOT mode the flash is blue
And also l cannot install cm12.1 because bootloader is not unlocked
Sorry, my English is not good
What is problem??? :crying:

Long time ago i saw a thread that a user was telling that he wasn't able to unlock the bootloader when he has using certain ftf files. It is pretty strange actually.
Try to downgrade your phone, maybe installing kk and try again mate.
Maybe this will help if you already don't know it. Take a look here. Way old that thread but maybe still guilty.

Post #2 says you have to be on stock kernel to relock your bootloader.

Congratulations. Glad I could help. You can give me a thank if you don't mind.
What do you mean with fresh kernel? You mean stock kernel, aren't you?
