Hello,
I tried to unlock my bootloader several times.I followed every guide and didn't make it.I have LBL xperia sp (Allowed bootloader unlocking :No)But i read i can try it anyway.So the problem here is when i start cmd in abd folder and enter command fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xmykey it says waiting for device.I installed drivers from the guide.Because i have windows 10 i disabled driver signature and all driver are installed.I tried all ports on my laptop and volume up,down.It just wont enter fastboot skips to sony logo immediately.Recovery is working fine.
Now i don't know is it because i have (Allowed bootloader unlocking :No) or i am doing something wrong,also i tried with 4.3,4.4 and 5.0 android versions.
I searched for this problem on xda forums but couldn't find any help.
Thanks.

Your unlocking bootloader allow is no.
You cannot unlock your bootloader.
That is sad,thanks anyway.

Can you check if your bootloader can really be unlocked? Back on stock ROM, open Dialer, then type in *#*#SERVICE#*#* and report your "bootloader unlock allowed" status.
"Allowed bootloader unlocking : No" But i read somewhere i can still try to unlock it.

yes the bootloader is unloack but i had my phone rooted before then had to use pc companion to repair it, ive unlocked it again to be sure.
It seems driver problem.
I met the same problem as well as others yesterday, when I unlock, relock, re-unlock, root locked, root unlocked, flash recovery... for some crazy reason.
Try these:
Connect to flashtool (beta2 or beta4) with device power-on debug off, to see if flashtool can recognize it, and how much it can recognize.
Connect to flashtool with device power-on debug on , to see if flashtool can recognize it.
Connect to flashtool with device in fastboot mode, to see if flashtool can recognize it.
Connect to flashtool with device in flashmode, to see if flashtool can recognize it.
Flashtool may fix some driver error. I just succeeded after hours of bungling like that.
Good luck.

same issue...
Has anyone found a sure fix for the issue presented by the original post? I am having this issue and I have tried different drivers, ftf's, computers, adb/fastboot/versions and flashtool versions. I have unlocked and relocked. Is rooting status "unknown" normal after bootloader unlock? -Z Ultra 6833 EU
Still no solution?
With my C6603 it does not allow to write boot aswell. Any final solutions?
edit: solution found: bootloader was not unlocked

This is the wrong forum to ask this. This is the Xperia Z section.
Despite that, you need to unlock your bootloader to flash kernels via fastboot.

After months using stock everything I decided to flash CM11 yesterday, I'm doing exactly same step as I was doing when on 4.1/4.2 but it seems like it doesn't works, I'm not even sure that my BL is unlocked despite success message, when trying to reboot after unlock BL I had a bootloop and when trying to recover with Sony's Flashtool it says 'device not unlocked'. So I repaired with PCC and restarted from scratch but same results today.
I'm totally lost as like I said I was doing exactly same thing on the same PC.
Edit : Now my XZ doesn't even start! I have the red led blinking while connected with usb, power+ Vol+ doesn't do anything, no vibrations at all!
I was on latest sony official ROM
Edit2 : Tryied again to recover with Sony's Flashtool but it says "Mobile Locked" that's crazy!

fastboot remote command not allowed Xperia Z3
I unlocked my boatloader, but have no way to confirm that it is still unlocked. I'm running Windows 7. Fastboot used to work just fine before I unlocked my bootloader. FLASHTOOL works fine. But if I try to flash anything with fastboot I get the remote command error. Can't flash recovery. Can't flash boot image.

Look in the service menu to confirm if your bootloader is unlocked.
Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialler, then look in Service info -> Configuration. It will say "Bootloader unlocked: Yes" if it's unlocked.

By installing FLASHTOOL by Sony I was instantly notified that my bootloader was not unlocked, even though I had already unlocked it three or four times without any errors. So I unlocked it again. Then fastboot flashed my images just fine.

this thread has continued to be unaswered for several years now.
only tested 2 phones... and it seems they both have bootloader status is unknown. i can do fastboot and recovery mode on the 2 phones but on fastboot mode.. only shows blank screen... idk why it's like that. i downgraded both phones to 12.2.0 version. and bootloader status is still unknown. it can be recognized by the computer in fastboot mode using fastboot devices command but you can't do anything to it. fastboot oem device-info does not work only shows .......... , fastboot oem unlock ....., only one working is fastboot adb_enable .. kinda useless. .. i gave up on unlocking the bootloader for this phone.. im too noob for this.

I opened this thread when I was still "noob-ish". The device's bootloader can't be unlocked. Unless someone hacks into it's bootloader (like LG L Fino), it might be possible.

I got root access with KingRoot and then flashed TWRP with Flashify.
Somehow that gave me access to bootloader without the necessity to downgrade the firmware.
Hello please can you help me.
I tried to unlock the bootloader from my Xperia Z3+ Dual, but when i run the command "fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock "unlock key" i get the message
"Failed (remote: Command not allowed)"
This happens under Ubuntu and under Windows 10 with both Unlock Keys for slot1 IMEI or Slot2 IMEI .
bottloader unlock allowed : change from no to yes
i got the information that on my phone the bootloader unlock has the value no.
Does anyone know how to set the value to yes?

It's simple just go into security and disable Xperia Protection and reboot the phone and let it boot. Then try the fastboot thing. Or else use flashtool to clean wipe and flash a stock ROM. Then try the above steps.

Hi. I can't unlock my bootloader. I have got the code off Sony, my laptop detected in fastboot, I have followed the unlock instructions set out by Sony as. In fastboot OEM unlock 0x(key) but it return a error saying incorrect data format! I have double checked over everything and the way the fastboot command was typed but still comes back with that specific error. Any help would be great.
Sorry can mods please move this post to question and answers please.
Hey!
I got a Zenfone 8 from a friend, and he told me that he tried to flash Lineage OS once, for some reason he got some errors and ended up going back to the stock ROM and relocking the bootloader.
Now I'm trying to unlock the bootloader again through the ASUS app, but it doesn't work. He tried to help me with some commands through fastboot mode and it also didn't work. There is any way to unlock it again after relocking it once?
He said he used the command 'fastboot oem asus-csc_lk' to relock it, don't know if it is hepful.
edit: We tried 'fastboot oem unlock' 'fastboot flashing unlock' (failed with permission error) and 'fastboot oem asus-unlock' (which resulted in FAILED (remote: 'Verify unlock token fail.')
Also AsusUnlock apk installs succesfully through ADB but fails to unlock with error 24802. Trying to install it through the phone doesn't work and gives me an error.
give more information please, from what build did your friend flash the lineageos? to what build did he go back to? did you install latest working ADB? are the drivers for the fastboot installed correctly? are you connected to the internet when trying to run the app on the phone?

He said he followed what was on the guide he found, first updated to Android 12, the latest on on asus website (WW-31.1004.0404.107), and then tried to flash LineageOS ROM, then he got some errors and went back to Android 12 and relocked the bootloader. He said he never tried anything again. When I got the phone it was on Android 12, I tried unlocking it as I said and it didn't work. Then I downgraded it to 11 using the firmware from asus website (Version Android 12 to Android 11), and tried to unlock it again using Android 11. Also didn't work.
About ADB and Fastboot drivers, they are correctly installed, tried some "standalone" versions and also the one that come with android SDK Platform Tools. Tested it on other devices and it worked well. And the phone was connected to the internet when I tried using the app, I'm sure because I downloaded it on the phone aswell, using the browser.
edit: Actually I'm not sure about the fastboot drivers, I've just downloaded the sdk tools from google website.
what lineageos did he flasah? if its 18.1 thats android 11... propably why he got the errors.

The warning appears, but it is not unlocked. Every command fails, device-info says that my device is not unlocked., it is locked.
What I'm trying to do is unlock it.
Let me try to explain what happened again.
The phone has been unlocked to install LineageOS. It didn't work. The past owner then installed the stock rom and locked it using this command: 'fastboot oem asus-csc_lk'.
Then I bought the phone from him, and now I'm trying to unlock it again, but it doesn't work.
The question then is: Is it possible to unlock a phone that has previously been unlocked and then relocked?
Hey, did you got it to work ?
