Well, I finally received my Z4V. It's a great phone, but I've been having some difficulty with Rooting and Unlocking the Bootloader. (And TA Backup to some extent)
The Service menu Shows Bootloader Unlock Not Allowed, but developers menu shows as it's allowed.
I haven't found any exploit that will get me root (ivy didn't work)
Versions:
1293-5494_28.0.R.570
GEBNERIC_28.0.R.570
S1 Boot Version 1289-5620 S1_Boot_MSM8994_LA1.1.1_87-C
Customization version
1294-6325_R37A
Not sure what to try next.
Have had some issues connecting via fastboot in Win10, but that's "normal"..
Any help would be um, helpful!

Hello you highly appreciated fellow z3 compact owners.
With wonderful, yet little confusing guides (followed several guides) I managed to have unlocked, rooted ViperX Concept Beta 2099.
Since everything went fine, I decided to try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/unlocked-update-conceptmm-root-recovery-t3291722
That didn't go so smoothly and sim card/camera stopped working. I think something went wrong on relock/unlock phase. :cyclops:
After flashing other ROM:s to test if they would rescue me I ended up without root and Flashtool saying that my phone can not be unlocked. As a last result I restored my TA backup and YES that saved my day.
Now I'm on locked 4.4.4 with root but without TWRP and Service info/rooting status on phone says: Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes
My question is: what next?
I still would like to have consept MarshMallow + root + TWRP
Should I try again: [Unlocked][HOW-TO] Update ConceptMM + root + recovery + restore DRM functions
PS. Fastboot won't flash TWRP, command denied or something like that. Is it because the phone is locked?
Hiya! I was in the process of unlocking my bootloader. I flashed a 28.0.A.8.266_R12A_Hong King Generic rom and on the process of fastbooting to unlock the bootloader. I have tried both methods for the command prompt as well as using the flashtool versions 0.9.19 and 0.9.23, to no avail. I've already acquired my key from sony, and respectively replaced the usb driver file indicated to be replaced, disabled my xperia and did the appropriate steps and it says:
FAILED <remote:Command not allowed>
I have already checked with the configuration wherein the rooting status indicates that Bootloader unlock allowed:Yes
I have been scouring the whole day for any plausible solution, right now I have flashed a 6.0.1 and have lost my capabilities of connecting to my mobile internet for some apparent reason and my network/signal has become mundane. Which my case is very similar to the gentleman that posted this Link
Any plausible assistance or solution would be very welcome and very much appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!
On another note, I was wondering if the region of the firmware affects any of the configuration of the signal acquisition or what not, it has been very disheartening to lose my mobile network. But then again thank you very much for any insight whatsover.
EDIT: Solve - Please take down if necessary
Updated to latest firmware in Nougat. It currently has an enable oem to unlock bootloader in developer options. Tick that off then try unlocking bootloader again once all initial conditions are met.

Hiya all!
Thanks for responses! I've actually resolved it for the e6533. I've updated to the latest firmware via the xperia companion and then in the developer options they have a new option which is unlock oem which permitted me to unlock bootloader through fastboot. Thank you again for the ideas!
Hi all,
I've purchased a used P20 Pro from a friend which has an unlocked bootloader and has been previously rooted. I normally keep my phones stock so I want to lock relock the bootloader (I have the code) but despite trying to follow various guides I have been unsuccessful.
Would anyone be able to guide me through the process of relocking the bootloader please?
The main reason I like to keep stock is manufacture updates etc and I don't have the knowledge to maintain a rooted phone.

I don't believe that an unlocked bootloader will prevent you from getting updates. As far as I know the only difference is the warning you get when you boot that "you can't trust the phone."
IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
Don't know if there is another way but of you have fastboot and adb you can do it:
1. Make sure developer options are enabled
2. Connect your phone to the computer using USB cable.
3. Open a command window and type 'adb boot bootloader'
4. Once the device has booted into the bootloader mode type 'fastboot oem lock'
This WILL ERASE all your user data and you will have to configure everything from scratch. You will need the unlock code if you ever want to unlock it again so make sure you don't loose it.

Some phones cannot be rooted.
Have you enabled OEM Unlocking in the developer options?
Have you checked that your phone can be unlocked?
Open the phone and dial *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu. Then look under Service info/Configuration
Rooting Status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: No
If the phone has been locked by the service provider before sending it to you, there's little you can do. Some providers do this to stop returns 'waaa, I unlocked my phone and now it's broke'
If both of these are ok, then it's most likely a driver issue, Windows10 is notorious for not installing drivers, but not giving you an error that it didn't. Boot into safe mode and use 'driver signing disabled' to get the drivers to work.
Also Windows assigns the wrong drivers by default, so connect the phone is fastboot mode, go the device manager, find the phone and manually update the driver.
You might need the Sony driver
Bootloader unlock is allowed
unlock is allowed downloaded driver will update after next attempt flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/48559170576/in/datetaken-public/
@ZCustomComputers, just backup your locked TA before unlocking the bootloader - see here for the guide.
Possibly you even would not need to reflash/downgrade stock fw to get temproot for drm keys backup as it seems you are running the supported version already.
That is a lot of information I am going to have to rehearse before I am comfortable enough to attempt all of this so as to not make a mistake I am having some other pressing matters at the moment not pertaining to anything related to these that are higher priority so I will have to come back to this at a later time in the very near future. Thank you all for your help and please do keep this thread active so I may come back to it I will return as soon as I can.
Again Thank You
my phone is SoftBank 502SO X Performance using GENERIC GLOBAL 8.0.0 F8131 rom. i tried most of the fastboot commands i could find. everything just throws out "command not allowed" error except for reboot and getvar command. any help please? i also have OEM Unlocking turned on as well as USB Debugging and turned off MyXperia Find My Device. my bootloader is locked and the service code shows up with "no". i remember a few years back where i use this android 4.4.4 budget phone (also bootloader locked and will not be unlocked in any way) can do most of the fastboot commands (flash system/ boot/ recovery/ etc...)
if it cannot fixed in anyway, is there any rooting app specifically for android 6.0.1 - 8.0.0? i tried using kingoroot, kingroot. none of them can break through.
Any help would be appreciated.
yeah , i have that phone as well , we kinna get ****ed because unless there is a exploit there is no way to unlock bootloader . There is a exploit have potential it's cve 2019-2215 but i found no developer working on it there is a app based on it (qu1ckr00t) but it not work on all device and i have try to compile it but i don't have the skill to do that . And i have try contact sony to resolve it but they said no . So yeah hope in the near future there will be a way
