Hi,i'm just wondering has anyone tried to unlock xperia z,z1/2/3 with s1tool,and is it possible?
What is the status of your bootloader in your service menu ? There was a person jinx who reported could unlock some xperia phones when the bootloader in the service menu said "no" but I have not heard anyone had this done for the z1 site : http://phoneunlockserver.com/

Hello,
Has anyone tried this yet? http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...for-a-range-of-unlocked-xperia-devices-video/
It doesn't seem to be working for me!:
Steps taken:
Flashed stock 5.0.2 using Emma
Flashed TA Updated using Emma
Pressed volume down + power until vibration occurs
release power button
result:
Phone shows sony logo and not dead android (stock recovery) and then just reboots
Yes, I'm facing this behaviour too... It seems to be a known problem for some users, as it has also been postet under the original Sony article on deloper world... Hope Sony recognizes the problem soon and fixes the bootloader
Same here. Nothing happen.
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app
Could one of you upload the ftf file so that non stock users can flash without wiping and flashing and all that...? Thank you

Could it be that you have got a sim locked phone? I a not sure but most sim locked phones have got a unlockable bootloader.
There are Z1s with:
Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes, and
Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No
It doesn't matter if you are SIM locked or not. SIM locked means you are tied to one specific Carrier and cannot use other Carrier's SIM. If you insert another Carrier's SIM it will not be recognized by the phone. You can have the phone "unlocked" meaning it will allow you so use any Carrier SIM you want to use but that doesn't you you have unlocked your bootloader.
If your phone says [Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes], you can unlock it using Flashtool or go to Sony's website.
If your phone says [Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No], sorry mate - you don't have any way of unlocking your bootloader.

That's the reality.
As already said only phones with 'bootloader unlock Allowed: yes' can be unlocked.
If this is my phone I would be interested in knowing why my bootloader isn't unlockable and I would write to Sony.

None that I know of personally. I did a Google search - I found a youtube video but I doubt it's credibility. But I am not an Advanced Developer or anything like that. I'm just another guy with an Android phone. And from what I've read so far, if your phone says [Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No] that means:
"No.",
"Sorry but No!",
"Nooooo-Waaaayyy",
"uh-uh!", "Sorry, nope!",
"No can do.", "Nada!",
"Let me thing about it.... I say... No!"
"Hmmm.... nah!"
If your phone was purchased as a 2nd hand phone, the original owner must have purchased it as a SIM-locked phone and have later had it Open-lined so he/she can use any Carrier SIM he/she wants. But as I have mentioned before; which almost everybody gets confused about; if you have had your phone Open-lined it doesn't mean you have unlocked the bootloader as well.
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. .
hi, i was wondering if there's a solution found in changing the status of Bootloader unlock allowed:NO to YES. i went to the sony service center yesterday and start asking if they could change the status or even unlock the bootloader but they didn't know what the heck I'm saying, they even don't know the what is a bootloader. Even my provider doesn't know how to unlock it. everyday im scouring the forum to find a solution but to no avail. I want to flash the cm build but i can't since the restriction. any help and guides will be appreciated.
thanks
good afternoon, I have a problem with my xperia z1 c6903 when unlocking the bootloader I get a message that says your phone can not be officially unlocked that I should thank.
Apparently Sony has blocked the ability to unlock the bootloader on certain devices.
This is most likely the case if you got your phone from your carrier. Do you have a branded Z1?
You can also look up if this is the case by doing the following:
1. Open dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#*
2. Go to Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status.
3. "Bootloader unlock allowed" should say Yes
If it doesn't, then at least the official way of unlocking your device won't work.
Any "not official" way to unlock the bootloader? Mine is locked too and i want to install something new in that old one. Thanks in advance.
Mine says not posible but i read somewere that can be done
That's the thing, is an old smartphone today, i don't understand why only certains models can be unlocked. Now im on last oficial os (5.1.1). I get it root but i cant unlock the bootloader in any way.

Follow this guide to unlock your phone's bootloader
Neverending story... You CAN'T unlock this phone. If it says that "Bootloader unlock allowed:NO" then nothing can be done with it. At least not without having access to SONY service equipment.
What do you think, why some of them are selling so cheap in Chinese webshops ? Because they are locked for good.
