First I unlocked bootloader with DoomLord method. Then did root. Then for same stupid reason I decided to relock it with flashtool for ZX beta2 and it didn't booted. It vibrates when i push the power button, but nothing appears on the display. Then I did the unlock and root procedure with fastboot on SDK and the phone responded to be connected and commands succeeded but nothing appeared on the display. Please anybody help. What I need to do? Fastboot seems to work. When i plug in to charge the red led does not stay on - it blinks
Can you flash a firmware with flashtools?
Do you have enough battery?

Close flashtool. Then download and install EMMA (official Flash Tool for Xperia devices) from Sony (https://www.google.ch/#hl=de&safe=o...le+emma+download&oq=sony+mobile+emma+download) and reflash your device with it.
Pay close attention to the instructions on the download page as you need to copy a couple files around before it works.
You need to boot to bootloader mode to flash. This achieved by totally turning off the device and holding VolDown only (not power) while connecting it to your pc.

Now I succeeded to connect phone to EMMA but it says locked phone. As I used relock option on Flashtool beta2 now how can i unlock it again? I tried DoomLord method and it gives me error write 'boot' failed. I did also the unlock process from Sony mobile provided and in the command window it says 'okay finished' but bootloader is stil locked
Excellent so far, helps narrowing down the problem.
EMMA only flashes unlocked devices, I figured you are unlocked so I recommended EMMA.
If you're locked, simply get Sony PC Companion and do a "repair" with it. Run PC Companion, boot up the phone, connect it, once PC Companion says connected click "Update firmware" or so. It should then say you're on latest firmware already and asks if you want to perform a "repair". Do so.
Just reread your post. Your device isn't booting, then of course the above doesn't work. You may try, I believe PCC also works with a device in flashmode.
However, you may also download SUS http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/ and try with that. Its the counterpart of EMMA for locked devices.
Shut down your device (hold VolUp and Power for about 15 seconds, the device should vibrate 3 times in a row). Start SUS, select XZ and when it tells you to, connect your device holding VolDown ONLY. It should then do it's thing.

The unlocking and rooting part is not that scary as long as you have no power outage
The problem here was the relocking of the bootloader, there is no known way for that, yet.
I got my phone back thanks to schaggo .
SUS preinstalled it which means that it had been properly locked with Flashtool beta2.
But then no way to unlock again as I tried both ways known here as EMMA asked me to do.
I've rooted my previous X10i and my chieneese tablet wm8650, installed custom ROMs many times
but when I saw the black screen on my brand new XZ I just freezed, couldn't make my brain working.
Now curious about the BE - is it lost with the first unlock or it's back now?
There were some demo videos and music which are gone now and maybe this means BE is no longer working.
I wonder if there's a way to port back BE as FeraVolt did for one of his ROMs
So is your phone locked now?

Yes, its lost with the initial unlocking of the bootloader. Maybe it will be ported, maybe not, no way to know at this time.
I still miss an information: yours is locked now, ok, but could it be unlocked again (unlock allowed:yes vs. unlockballowed:no)?

He already lost BE, DRM and stuff, why limit one self to the less convenient dealing with locked bootloader when an unlocked device offers more flexibility and ease of flashing?
Flashtool for Z beta 2, replace x10thingblah.jar (search flashtool thread), hit relock button, reflash stock with PC Companion/SUS/Flashtool, done.

I have rooting status : unknown
This was said to be a bug - already fixed I think
I haven't tried unlocking again because I'm not sure that yesterday's death of my phone is caused by the relocking
I'm gonna wait and stay on stock for a while to see if this phone works without any problems.
About the BE2 I really don't know what to think : I did some screenshot with XZ on/off and there's no difference.
Then did the same with X10i (FeraLab' s ROM with BE ported) and again didn't find a difference between all of the screenshots including XZ'
Maybe it doesn't work on your X10 either. On my Z, I can make out a difference, especially with the provided stock images, which are VERY colourful on purpose I suppose, to demonstrate the oversaturation of colours BE2 produces
But I may ask again:
1. you reflashed your phone with SUS or Flashtool
2. after the flash you did not root or try to unlock again
3. when checking now (fully stock) your unlock status is "unknown"?
I ask, because root with locked bootloaders also makes the status unknown.
ive got my phone stuck on the sony sign instaling a custom unlocked bootoader rom when my phone has locked boot loader any help atall
i had root and everything was working but after install it said to fix permissions when they were fixed i rebooted but its stuck on sony sign.
any help would be gratful.

I tried many ways, including restoring everyting with PCC, fully original stock without root, without unlock, but it still says "unknown".
Again, unlock with flashtool 2beta, OK says "unlocked yes". and relock again, "unknown", and unlock again, "yes", switching freely...
Whatever I do, BE2 is dead, forever.
Somehow there is only one thing for now, with the fake relock "unknown", PCC or US or even OTA can accept device updating or restoring.
So to get BE2 back or get "locked" status, we'd wait for devolpers to work out something.

The Japanese devoloper way of locked root will make the status "unlock not allowed", whether device locked or unloced, which is just false information, don't worry.

NO. You can't unlock your bootloader if 'unlock bootloader allowed = no'
Since you cannot unlock bootloader, therefore you cannot flash custom ROM on your phone.
Rooting phone do not always need bootloader to be unlocked. There will be some ways available to root your phone with LB.
Also there will be some ROMs available that can be flashed over LB. But they'll be based on stock and will not have more features rather than stock features.
You just need to search here on XDA
I suggest you not to flash any ROM on LB. You'll eventually get bootloops and maybe hard brick.

Nope! As much as I know, you cannot change status from 'no to yes' rather than changing your motherboard to do so. It'll cost you more than you buyed it.
It is related to TA Partition. And EVERY phone has its unique TA. So no one can change its status. Flashing other phones TA to your phone will brick your device.

In such case you need to roll back to your previous android version. I don't think you could unlock your bootloader. But if you are telling it was 'yes' before, then you should try.
No matter your phone works with every sim or not. TA Partition contains DRM keys as well as many other things related to network, warranty, services which get erased after unlocking bootloader.

Yes you can flash any stock ROM through flashtool. You just need to download appropriate firmware (.ftf)
Even you could update your phone through PC Companion. The latest version is 5.1.1 Available.
BTW why are you trying to flash stock ROM? Are you using any custom ROM already?

You mean bootscreen, right?
Just because of bootscreen are you going to change the entire ROM?
You could change bootscreen manually. Your phone just need to be rooted to do so. To root your phone use kingroot app. If your lucky enough, your phone will be rooted.
There are tons of bootscreens available. Just pick one and place it in /system/media (don't forget to backup old one) with -rw--r--r permissions and Bingo! You have changed your bootscreen.

Try the same app several times. It usually does not succeed in first attempt. It you fail each time, try kingo root with windows software.

Dude, your on latest android version. There isn't any exploit available to root ver 5.1.1
You either need to wait until anyone makes an exploit for your phone or you need downgrade your phone and root it.
There is a pre-rooted firmware available for lollipop But it works only if phone has 5.0.2 .
Unfortunately your phone has 5.1.1 that means you still need to downgrade your phone and flash pre-rooted 5.1.1
Also, your bootloader can't be unlocked. So you need to flash ROM accordingly. Don't ever flash ROM that are meant for unlocked bootloader.

Hi guys,
I nedd your help.
I just bought a Sony Xperia XZ2 (H8216) for my mother, I want to install LineageOs18.
My first problem : it's on android 9, for install LineageOs18 he required has intall Sony oem rom, if i have correctly understand, but second problem , I can't update to officiel rom because this phone not detect update (servers are down ?).
Third problem : I try going through an AOSP version, the famous Bootloader unlock is required, problem in the service menu I have "Bootloader unlock allowed: NO".
Is there a solution ? or will this phone never be able to be updated whether it is AOSP or custom rom?
Thanks you for help and have read
Update 2021-11-28:
I installed a pc with Windows 10 all clean and deactivate windows defender, it detects the software qUnlock S1 Unlock Tool virus, it will also avoid having deleted files, for example the backups generated by qUnlock.
Install with:
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
this is what I did:
switch Bootloader unlock allowed no to yes: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ed-no-to-yes-is-now-finally-possible.4044091/
I buy credit here: https://networkunlocking.com/shop/sony-xperia-cable-unlock-0-counter-supported/ in description product you have link to download qUnlock S1 Unlock Tool the latest version
Install the Sony drivers present in the qUnlock folder
Launch qUnlock enter your username obtained after the purchase of credit made a check credits, if error you must wait for your account to be set up, when your account is operational, click SIM Unlock and follow the qUnlock instructions (switch the phone to flash mod)
When the process is finished check if Bootloader unlock allowed is passed to yes and if in your qUnlock folder you have a backup folder with a folder of your IMEI with the backup files of your phone, it may be that your phone network no longer works, execute the Sony procedure to unlock the bootloader: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader
Restart your phone you have the information that your bootloader is unlocked, if you still do not have a network go back to qUnlock and click on WriteBackup (switch the phone to flash mod). You will need to find your network and keep your bootloader unlocked.
I then install the newer version of the oem rom (for me, the 52.1.A.0.618) with FlashTool from Sony: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool
Finally, install LineageOs 18.1 by following the instructions here:https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/akari/install

Try to turn on NFC, if it's doesn't want to turned on, then it's Probably Japan/Carrier specific version with Global Firmware.

Hi,
I just did it, it works the bootloader unlock is go to yes but i no longer have a mobile network, the sim card is detecting and pin is required, but no network.
If you think switching to another rom will work, the next steps are:
- install an AOSP version (android 10 or 11? for installing lineageOs 18.1) by doing the sony procedure to unlock bootloader
- install TWRP
- install lineageOs
You confirm to me that this is the correct procedure?
And question I have to save the DRM keys
Thanks for your time and help

Are you using AU device?
If yes, after unlocking bootloader, restore backup using that software.

I don't understand,
the Sony XZ2 I think it's a phone that comes from Japan, I don't have the history
My sim card for testing is European, and the phone will be used in Europe.

When you unlocking with qunlocktools, it's backup ta partition (if I'm not wrong), find where it's saved.
Then, open qunlocktools and choose restore

Yes I have backup
So I do the sony procedure to unlock the bootloader, and after I restore the qUnlockTool backup?
I would keep the bootloader unlocked, and the network will work again?
Sorry for maybe silly questions
Thank you

Hey it works!
Bootloader unlocked and network back, thank you fantastic!
Now I install an AOSP rom, android 10 or 11, knowing that for the installation of lineageOs it is advisable to go through a Sony rom under android 10?

Hi I have successfully installed LineageOs 18.1, thanks again
Just a problem to the fingerprint, I will put a message in the LineageOS 18.1 thread
I updated my first post, I wrote down what I did
Update :
Fingerprint works after deactivating development options
hello, i have a problem with my redmi 9c
my phone just started bootloping alone, i went to sleep and i woke up with my phone dead
the phone is stock, no root, no custom recovery and still with bootloader locked because i don't need features who need it, i can access fastboot but recovery is not posible to reach because Vol+/Power is useless, the phone do nothing pressing those buttons, only with Vol-/Power, so i can't make a factory reset or wipe data, the only thing what i did a couple of hours before the phone broke was change my security pattern (i don't think it's related anyway...), and it was 8 or 10 hours before the issue. sadly the phone warranty expired in january and i have nothing to do at this moment
the phone stops the bootloop after draining the battery, with the bootloader locked of course i'm unable to flash a stock rom, even with MiFlash
what could be the problem?
thanks! (and sorry for my bad english, spanish native here)

Hi, my first guess would be faulty hardware, for example a dead motherboard.
Is there any error when attempting to flash the Stock ROM with MiFlash? Afaik you should be able to flash Stock ROMs even with locked bootloader.

Thanks for the quick reply
MiFlash said "not allowed in locked state" and I guess it's because of locked bootloader, I should try with a specific stock rom?

Hmm okay, yeah that sounds like it's preventing you from flashing simply because your bootloader is locked.
Which Stock ROM did you try? Same as the currently installed version or an older one?

I tried with the last available rom and the previous one, automatic updates were disabled, but I know I updated the phone after buying it
I don't remember if the phone was running last version...
MiFlash should let me flash the phone with the same installed ROM even with bootloader locked?

If you tried an older firmware, it's possible that it didn't flash because of Xiaomi's "Anti-Rollback" Feature which exists to prevent users from Downgrading.
But yes, it should let you flash the same version afaik.
What Region is your Device? On Locked Bootloader you can only flash Firmwares that are from the same Region. (For example Global or EEA)

Alright, have you btw tried flashing directly via fastboot?
Meaning opening terminal and from there flashing all partitions one by one for example "fastboot flash boot boot.img" ?

Oh okay then.
If in the worse case nothing works, your last (paid) solution would probably be to contact one of these "Mi Auth" Guys on Telegram. They have acess to Authorized Accounts that are able to flash your Phone in EDL Mode (might need to open your phone to short test-points though)
I had to pay them about 20€ to get my old Mi 11 (which I sold a while ago) running again after it got stuck in EDL Mode. :/
