[Q] Bootloader, before rooting... [SOLVED.NEED TO LOCK THREAD]

Hi there, I'm new here. I'd like to ask anyone who know about blootloader. I have one issue with my phone. A few days ago, (more accurate - 1-2 weeks) I did rooting for my phone Xperia Z. Before that, I checked the configuration, and then I was allowed to unlock it. But now, (after rooting) i'm not able to do that anymore. How to understand that?
Before rooting was writting : „Allowed to unlock bootloader: Yes“
After : „No“.
What the hell happend ?
Does software update will solve this issue with my phone ?
What I shloud to do ?
I'm going to attach photo after rooting. I had contacted Sony HELP, but they said that I should search help anywhere else, 'cause they don't know anything about it or they can't say.
Maybe they can't answer 'cause I'm living in another country in which there's no Sony phone centre, only the main.
Any suggestions?

Did you root using this method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/root-xperia-z-zl-tablet-z-lb-ub-t2186368?
If so, you will see this written in the first post -
if u had an unlockable bootloader device, after using this method the device will be detected as LOCKED or unlock not possible!!! (to fix this use this fix)

Also, Sony support will not help with problems caused by you unofficially modifying the software on your phone, no matter where you live.

I did with this method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsh51O1ImMM
I used fast rooting or whatever is it
How I need to flash it ? I'm newbie at Android. :/
Do I need just replace that file with Root Explorer to it's file original destination? Thanks for reply.
EDIT: By the way, do I need upload META-IN folder too? :?
-- Sorry If I'm writting bad in English --

The method in that video is indeed the method that I linked to. You need to flash the file in recovery.
Try XZDualRecovery If you need a recovery. It should work, but I cannot be 100% on that as it seems you're on quite an old 4.1 firmware version.

I have that recovery already. It's needed to have SD card? Can I flash it though the phone memory ? Yes, I've 4.1.2 version. Awaiting for KitKat. Is there's any possibility to brick the phone? 'Cause I'm scared to try that then if so.

Yes, just put it on your internal SD. You will not brick your phone by flashing that file.

So, to be clear...
You downloaded the file from this post, rebooted into recovery, selected it and tried to flash it? If so, I have no idea why it would freeze up.

that' s not the reason, it' s because the ota checks your compleet system to see if the ota is compatible, if signatures don' t match the ota won't apply

People may get irritate with me by repeating same question, but im doing for good.
Because people those are installing update they have no info officially, I just want to care, suppose if my device got problem in hardware after 2 months I go to service center and they say sorry your device is imported or software wise modified. So that's why.

select recovery, in recovery push and release vol up + power, and use adb sideload update.zip to sideload it or rename the update.zip to update.zip and save it to the root of the sdcard and chose to apply update from sdcard

fota failed

hi to everybody! sorry for my eng. plz help me. fota (Firmware-Over-The-Air) was failed, phone not loaded. not rooted, all is stock from buying. usb not working (was broken). only 1 way - flash from sd-card via stock recovery!! any chances? i think to download full firmware or only update, put it in to sd and flashing from stock recovery. i dowloaded SKZ-G800HXXU1BPE1-20160708172910.zip , but i got messages in recovery: "footer is wrong" and "signature verification failed". is there any ways to "repair" it?
p.s. sm-g800H

You can download md5 file from samfirm.com and flash via Odin. But can you help me. Can you root your phone and nandroid backup all partition by Efs Professional on XDA and send to me. Thanks for your help.

i can't connect to PC !

Could you take it in for repairs? If it really is still pure stock then you shouldn't have issues (especially considering this could easily be a case of manufacturing issues ). Unfortunately the stock recovery does signature verification on packages and Samsung doesn't publish stock flashables with their signature (which is very hard to get). I can't find them anywhere. You're going to need to use the USB at some point anyway. Sorry. In the meantime try as many different PCs/Cables/Jiggling as you can to see if you can still get it to work (If it's charging it generally isn't broken).

its broken. i repair it by myself. i need same part and i waiting it from aliexpress. then i will repair usb.

samfirm.com does not work!

Look at sammobile.com you have to sign up but it is free. It is my favourite for firmwares because it is very easy to use. The free account version contains a limited download rate (it takes around an hour to download firmware).

Is my model OnePlus 3T? It doesn't say in the box

Model no. For both OnePlus and OnePlus 3t are same so you'll have to check somehow from your box only. Maybe you can if there is anything about front camera, battery or processor mentioned as these are the only differences in 3 and 3t.

In the box it says A3010, is that 3T? I need to be sure before I flash my device since I don't want to brick it.

Yes A3010 is the chinese version of Oneplus 3t

So I can flash with oneplus 3T files? I won't brick the device?

Yes you can flash stable or the open beta. Follow the guidelines as mentioned in the links and it should not brick your device.

Also need to ask you, I read this from the site link u gave me:
If you are not using the original Oxygen Recovery. View instructions for TWRP Recovery to flash OxygenOS Recovery .
Don't understand what this means....?

They basically want you to use their own official recovery and not twrp. If you don't want to root or customise the phone just use the instructions with official recovery. It should be fine.

its hidden so make sure to switch on hidden files on your pc.

So the ROM file is already in the phone? All I need to do is flash it via Stock Recovery? what about the ROM I downloaded?
Also, check out this link, this is the procedure I will execute:

The ROM won't be there already. When you download an update it is stored in the directory and is removed upon successful installation. If you're stock I'd recommend using the official method. Just reset the phone once you install the ROM as you'll be switching from Chinese ROM to oxygen os.

I will use the official method, when I execute the following command:
For Windows: “adb sideload <filename>”
Where do I store the <file>?

It has to be in the same folder where and files are stored. You can also just drag and drop the file in command prompt.

You'll have to download adb and fastboot in your pc if you want to use the sideload method. If you're not aware of it several tutorials are available on XDA.

h811 bricked..

I was trying to reinstall the firmware and the phone told me it was completed then i proceeded to reboot to system and then i was greeted with a black screen and now the device will not charge,power on, go to recovery, nothing... windows detects it as Qualcomm hs-usb Qdloader 9008.... Help please..
(Device completely died now, didn't get much help which lead to the board dying or something.. windows won't detect it at all now and its like a fish out of water basically.)

This is so unbelievable useless post.
Did you flashed the SAME firmware on the sdcard? The ARB MUST be the same! It will not work otherwise.
Do you used a 32gb or bigger card? Smaller ones will NOT work.
What did you flashed and how? Any issues on flashing?
What didn't work? The flashing of the gpt goes fine? Have reconnecting the sdcard and had the disk labels? Issues after that?
Give more information on what you have done and you have to try to boot into download mode

Yes qfil but you have to use good qfil files. There are some out there which CONVERTING your device into a ls991 and they are named h811,h815 so you can't see if those converting or not.
Then you can also use a box or find someone who has one.

Do you know where to get the files to unbrick with qfil? i can't find them and i been looking for a few hours now i been trying so many different files for it but it will not accept them.. i keep getting errors with qfil like "Unable to download flash programmer using sahara protocol" and others like "Sahara FailSahara fail" what files are correct for the h811?

I'm sorry but I'm very busy at the moment at work and other stuff..
one question : how do you have extracted? With salt or with another tool? If you have NOT used salt this is very likely your issue because the windows tool out there is bull**** and will not work for this .
