Thanks for your reply
I tried to flash many roms with flashtool but nothing change.

You lost network coverage but does it still offer to unlock the sim? And does that succeed?
And just to be sure, you did flash the correct stock ROM your model (C5302/C5303/C5306)?
If your bootloader magically relocked itself then sony pc companion should work (I know it sucks), have you tried repairing your firmware using that?

But if your bootloader is unlocked then the bootloader status should say "Bootloader Unlocked: Yes" or something along those lines.

Yes my bootloader is unlocked and my bootloader unlocking allow was 'YES'.
But after flashing william's kernel my bootloader automatically locked and my bootloader unlocking allow changed to 'NO'.

That is so unusual that you might want to check with fastboot if the bootloader really is locked. You can do that with the following fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot getvar secure
This will return "secure: yes" if the bootloader is really locked.
Anyway, have you tried a generic ROM for your device from this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964
If you have a north american device (C5306) you might need a provider specific ROM.

[Q] How to check if the bootloader is unlocked.

Hi there.
After i unlocked* the bootloader of my phone i got stuck in a bootloop, then i had to flash the TFT all over again...
The problem is that i don't know if the phone is already with bootloader unlocked or not...
how can i check it?
I was thinking on trying to do the unlock steps again, but i'm scared of being trapped on another bootloop...
Is there a way to check if the bootloader is already unlocked?
PS: The bootloader unlock allowed is yes.
thanks you guys.
Flash doom kernel via fastboot with this command:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
If you get an error than your bootloader is not unlocked.
You can flash back to stock kernel with flashtool,flash the kernel separately.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
but if i got that error and confirm that the bootloader is locked, is there any chance to harm the phone? or need to flash the TFT again, etc etc
use flashtool to tell you
Another more easy approach .
When bootloader unlock allowed says yes and be2 is working in Album, then it is still locked and you can start the unlock steps again.
How can i use flashtool to tell me?
@DevShaft
Before i could see in a flash the bravia engine working on pictures. There was a little delay... Now i can't see it.
Probably the bootloader is unlock.
If i try to install Doom's kernel via recovery and the bootloader is LOCKED, can it do any harm? thanks guys

I unlocked my Xperia Z and in Service Mode I can see 'Bootloader unlocked: Yes'.
Now my phone is running on latest C6603 firmware and DooM Kernel.
To my surprise, BE2 still works! Music info download still works! TrackID still works!:victory:
But not picture enhancement in album right? Hope you backed up TA partition before unlocking

im surprised at how this 'check bootloader is unlocked already or not' thread is confusing.
by the previous post, there is two 2 ways
1. try to flash doomlords kernel via fastboot, and if it doesnt flash means its NOT unlocked.
2. flashtool.
however the 2. flashtool method is very vague.. dont think anyone elaborated it.
So my same query is that if some error occurs after trying to unlock bootloader, and have reverted back to the stock FTF rom in original working state.
How do one check to see if my bootloader is unlocked or not?
whats the best easiest method???
Thank you!
just type in *#*#7378423#*#*
Go to Service Info > Configuration
And check the Rooting Status
If its Bootloader unlock allowed:Yes/No, then its not unlocked.
And if its Bootloader unlocked:Yes, then its unlocked.
Thanks

That just tells you weather you can unlock your bootloader via the command / flashtool e.g. If you carrier has locked your phone
On a unlocked bootloader the BE2 engine still works on videos ect just not pictures.
All I would do Is flash doom kernel or advanced stock kernel via flashtool (Click on lightning bolt /fast boot / click on put device in fastboot via adb now phone will enter fastboot then select kernel to flash which is in the middle on the pop up screen and then flash if it will take around 0 . 5 seconds ) if it fails then you bootloader is locked due to it cannot complete the command if is successful then it's unlocked and you can flash custom kernels take about 2 mins to do all in all

[Help][Q] Keep getting bootloop after UB

okaay so i rooted my phone again and decided to unlock my bootloader, i have verified that i am able to unlock my bootloader and follow all the instructions on the official sony website on how to unlock the bootloader. i get no errors during the cmd process either, i turn my phone on and it gets to the purple boot animation screen and then freezes.

Just flash any desired custom form via fastboot and that's all, it should work.
When I unlocked my bootloader with stock firmware it doesn't boot anymore either, so I had to flash any other or reflash it again

Just flash a official FTF, then go to service menu, tests -> configuration and if your bootloader status is:
Unlock allowed: Yes - you can unlock your bootloader
Unlock allowed: No - your bootloader is hard bricked and there's no way to solve this (permanently)
Unlocked - congratulations.
I suppose your bootloader is hardlocked. check for yourself and if anything changes - quote

If you are on a custom rom you just have to flash the custom kernel over it putting the phone in fastboot . No need to unlock bootloader again. Please ensure that the rom supports the custom kernel or there can be bootloops .

I have tried unlocking it with and without a custom ROM on my phone, it says 'Bootloader Unlocked: Yes' on the service info and i also only have the option to RELOCK my bootloader when i try it on the flash tool. Does this mean that it may actually be unlocked already?
EDIT: im also using This custom ROM which has custom kernals to select from

The rom that you gave link to is a stock firmware based custom rom, so it will have stock kernel.
I think it must be written Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes, on your phone
You will need to unlock the bootloader, PM me I will guide you how to do it.

[Q] Service menu on CM11

Hello,
I just unlocked my bootloader, made a data restore, and everything seems to be fine.
But, when typing *#*#7378423#*#* the service menu does not appears (code is deleted from dialer but no menu). Don't know if it's normal on cm11.
I'd like to check if the bootloader is really unlocked before trying a 5.1.1 rom ... to avoid bad surprise ...
Thanls!
Hmm, the service code should work no matter what ROM your on..
You also van check with flashtool..
Thanks. Do you know what fastboot command to see if BL is unlocked ?
I meant flashmode and a programma flashtool on tour PC. Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43355810
I didn't find a place in flashtool that shows the bootloader status ...
So, what can I do to make sure my bootloader is unlocked?
Only way is too flash a stock rom? no magic command or utility?

You try to unlock your bootloader. If it is locked then it will unlock otherwise your bootloader is already unlocked.

Frp locked

I cant unlock frp as It is grayed out the option of oem unlocking in the dev options
pls I need help
Model : LLD-L21
OS : KangVIP Rom (EMUI 8.0.0)
Bootloader Status : Unlocked
In fastboot it says
Phone Unlocked
FRP Locked

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.

Unlocking bootloader: definitive bye-bye to automatic updates?

With the Moto Z, after I returned the phone to stock (flashed stock firmware and locked the bootloader), I'd be able to flash stock firmware with the flashing locked.
Not so with the Motorola One Zoom. In other words, flashing stock and re-locking didn't return the phone to its pristine state. Even when flashing stock firmware over stock firmware, I have to unlock the bootloader.
Differences I observed: on the bootloader screen, when re-locked the Z would show "oem_locked" again. On the One Zoom, it shows "flashing_locked" instead. I'm pretty sure it showed "oem_locked" before unlocking.
WIth the Z, every time I wanted to unlock the bootloader, I had to issue "fastboot oem unlock" followed by the unlock code. The code isn't necessary with the re-locked One Zoom.
In other words, maybe it was a one-way trip. It seems that the phone won't return to its original state, it looks it's modified for good. And I'm afraid this means bye-bye to automatic updates.
Am I missing something here?

What region is your device manufactured for?
Does your PC see your device connected to the fastboot mod?

Hey all,
I have the Moto One Zoom running on Android 9.
Also, It's Rooted with Magisk and have Riru EdXposed installed, can I install my OTA updates without bootloop or do I have to Uninstall Magisk, relock bootloader and factory reset/flash stock firmware to get latest OTA updates?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks
