So yeah

Is your phone rooted? If not, try Towelroot and report back if that status changed (Warranty will be voided)

I may have updated it to the version that towelroot doesn't work on but I shall quickly change it back using flashtool...

I know the the EUR bootloaders can only be unlocked at this time, but is anyone currently working on a bootloader unlock for the rest of us? Or is there a workaround that I can't seem to find anywhere on the internet? Call me desperate but i really want this thing unlocked. It was a pain in the nads waiting for root and now I got screwed out of an unlocked bootloader. I'm on SW version: 988020b-466-92.
They haven't find a solution for locked bootloaders. I hope they will find a solution soon

The bootloader is only unlockable with Jelly Bean, ie. v20a/b/c. If you're still in a v10x, you need to update your phone's OS to JB before trying to unlock your bootloader. You can do it simply with the LG official tool.

Hi,
is there a way to unlock the simlock of a Sony Xperia Z1? I've already read about unlock,io, sim-unlock.net, worldgsmcodes.com, with the first beeing the cheapest at € 29, which I find quite expensive... Does anyone know of a cheaper method?

Sim unlocking is not something that XDA developers deal with as in some countries it is illegal.

I found, in my town, in Croatia same thing (they order lock code online) - order number online and that's the best solution.
But first, check is your phone "unlockable".

Is there any way to unlock Z1 compact for free with some tool or something ?
Ok, so I've upgraded to 4.3 and lost my root. As far as I know, to get root on 4.3 I will need unlocked bootloader to flash custom kernel and/or ROM. Unfortunately in the Service Info / Configuration of my phone it says: Bootloader unlock allowed: NO. So here's the question: is there any method of unlocking the bootloader other than official from Sony? Looking at the Xperia Z and ZL forums looks like there isn't, but maybe someone had succeeded on the Z1?
Thanks for any information.

Yes I checked the website from sony (and some other).
Does all of those Tools works on W8 ?
Because I did my best (including asking for bootloader unlock key) and I'm unable to make my fastboot mode recognize on W8 hardware list
If you got a clue, welcome .
Watever happens, thanks Guys and Girls for all the non-profit job you do for most of us.
(btw : I just want to root my Xperia SP to be able to pull away some sony' apz that work underflow and make it 60% ram used without launching anything; this of course, make it slow !!)

Ya I think so.. You should pm one of the experienced dev or member who owns Xperia SP and has carried out or helped in the development of the same phone model.. :thumbup:
Sent from my Explorer A310e using xda app-developers app
I have the same unlock allowed: No...
You can only use stock based roms, only recoveries for locked BL, and cannot enter fastboot mode...
Use SEUS for repairing or reinstalling stock rom if u ever mess something up during rom installation.

You can take backup of DRM keys. In case you need to use the warranty service, just restore the backup and your warranty stays valid.

So you can make your TA Backup once on rooted 4.1.2, then you are free to root your 4.3 and lock your bootloader with restoring TA..
