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.

Whatever I've tried to successfully unlock the bootloader of this device, well..all went wrong
So gyus does anybody know how to unlock the bootloader?
I boot in fastboot mode..i try to fastboot oem unlock but i stacks there after the 3 dots "..." nothing more..neither from the device.!
Every Help is appreciated!
First of all install adb drivers and boot into fastboot mode and type "fastboot devices" and if any serial number showed up and now you can start unlocking and one thing this is an "android one" device forum and don't create threads about other devices and there is a request thread by me you can ask the and never create wrong device threads sorry if it is an android one device i don't know i'm from india so hit thanks if i helped
So I bought this HTC One M7, the guy claims its soft bricked and hes not able to fix it because hes technically challenged. So I take it home boot it up, its stuck in a boot loop so I boot it into fastboot the bootloader is locked so I try to connect it to adb, no luck, there is no driver on this internet that I have found that will connect to adb. So I resort to fastboot, I "fastboot devices" and sure enough it connects (wicked), first I try to flash recovery, I try to boot recovery, I tried to update zip, no luck in flashing anything because I either get a signature fail or a "remote: not allowed" then I realize my bootloader is locked, I try to unlock it "fastboot oem unlock" and of course I get a "INFO [ERR] command error". I also tried to change my cid to 11111111 and no luck. I have actually tried everything I can think of I cant get s-off to work my recovery is stock as well so theres no possibility of OTG cable plus a usb. My fastboot will not flash anything in fastboot, I cant push any files to the phone, I cant connect to adb, I cant use my recovery. So what in the actual can I do? I think i'm f**ked.
Thank you in advance for anything you can help me with.

You can't use adb unless you're booted to OS or custom recovery. Also you can't unlock bootloader with "fastboot oem unlock" unless your phone is GPE version. For Sense you need unlock token from htcdev. In order to flash anything, you need custom recovery, and you can flash it only if your bootloader is unlocked

I unlocked my htc with the unlocktoken from htc dev but it still says locked in bootloader. I can flash the unlock_code.bin but it does not restart nor does it come up with a message that says I would like to unlock bootloader etc.

can you post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (remove your imei and serialno). Sometimes, reflashing the stock firmware can solve some bootloader unlock problem but I need to know you getvar all before I can tell you which one you should flash.
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.

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.

Please don't try any methods, for your device's safety.
I want to unlock bootloader for my device to install a cook rom but when i use the command
Fastboot OEM get_identifier_token
The result window shows and disappears immediately so i can not copy code to unlock my phone.
Please help me. THANKS
Are you trying to use the old token? You have to go back through the unlock process to get a the token identifier and then it should work.
So recently I tried rooting my xperia xp and it has failed horribly. I managed to unlock my bootloader and install twrp recovery but after doing so my phone could not reboot into system without running into a bootloop. I've tried to perform a software repair on my phone with the xperia companion, but as you know my bootloader is unlocked at the moment so that couldn't help me.
The issue with relocking here is that when I enter "./fastboot oem lock" on my terminal it replies as:
"FAILED (remote: unknown command)"
I really do not want to have to purchase a new phone just because of the bootloader, it'd be so so appreciated if somebody could help me out here
Also
I'd also like point out that I've also tried the other two commands I could find:
"./fastboot oem relock" and "./fastboot flashing lock"
There are two ways to relock bootloader:
1. Restore TA partition
2.Use Flashtool to relock
But if you encounter a bootloop after unlocking bootloader, try flash Magisk first.

Is there really no way to relock the bootloader?
I don't have a TA backup. I have flashed a completely stock ROM with flashtool (Emma), I just want to relock a bootloader for a warranty claim (purely hardware, faulty USB connector, took me 20 minutes to get the computer to recognize it, at this point it won't even charge most of the time).
I have tried fastboot oem relock command even with the USB vendor ID that I also had to specify when unlocking it in the first place. New flashtool (Emma) does not seem to have any option to relock (or even unlock) BL, nor does it display any information about it. Old flashtool says TA read fail and that my bootloader cannot be relocked.
The boot screen tells me to please lock my bootloader so I'm assuming there must be a way, I just haven't found it yet.
