Hello,
I am not able to enter fastboot mode on my Xperia SP C5306 12.0.A.2.254. I have it rooted and with CWM. I have USB debugging enabled.
I have tried three methods of attempting to enter fastboot mode. Via the volume up/usb cable option, the .bat option, and using an app. None have worked.
I am running on Windows 7.
Is there anyway to fix this?
Thank you
Forgot to add that in the Service Menu, it says "Bootloader unlock allowed: No".

Welcome to the world of the ever locked bootloader.
Nothing you can do except try our decent array of LBL roms.

Maybe it has something to do with my carrier locking the phone?

That is most likely the case.
I'm trying to root my Verizon Nexus 6, and for some reason, when I try to toggle OEM unclocking and boot into the bootloader, it says device is locked - status code 2.
Any Verizon owners experience this problem, or know how to fix it? It would certainly be unfortunate if this is how Verizon keeps its customers from modifying their phones.

The toggle is a new feature of Android 5.0 and up. The toggle does not unlock your bootloader, rather it allows the process to happen. You need to use fastboot to OEM unlock. Click the top link in my signature for more info. Also, I suggest you read the beginners guide in the general forum.

After you toggle enable OEM unlock you need to reboot into boot loader and run the command "fastboot OEM unlock"

It is a security feature. All "enable oem unlocking" does is allow you to unlock the bootloader by fastboot. It doesnt actually unlock it.

When you toggle "allow bootloader unlock" in developer options, it does just that; it allows you to unlock the bootloader.
Then you boot to bootloader and type "fastboot OEM unlock".
Assuming you have the android SDK on your PC, and device connected by USB cable. Look in the sticky roll up thread in general section for specific directions.

That's what I'm doing. However, the issue is that it relocks itself. Hence the "device is locked - status code 2". You shouldn't unlock the bootloader when it's locked, or else you could cause a bootloop.

Are you sure its relocking? Are you sure you're unlocking it?
So you go into settings > developer options
You tick "allow OEM unlock"
You boot into bootloader
Connect USB to computer
Open command prompt
Type "fastboot OEM unlock"
Does it unlock and change to status 3?
When does it change back to 2?

tick "allow OEM unlock"
boot into bootloader
shows: device is locked - status code 2
boot back into OS
go to settings > developer options
allow OEM unlock is unticked

I was doing everything correctly, but I didn't realize that it was okay to proceed on the "device is locked" message.
One thing that's not covered in the guide however: Is it okay to use the Chainfire root on a 5.1 device? The Chainfire website lists the tool as compatible with 5.0, but could I proceed anyway?

As we've said multiple times, ticking the OEM unlock box only allows you to unlock. It doesn't actually unlock. There is only 1 way to unlock and that's with the fastboot commands.

Yes, I know. The problem was that the OEM unlock box kept unticking itself, which I had assumed led to the message I saw in the bootloader. Do you understand what I am trying to say? I don't think it was clear.

That box un ticks it self on each boot. I also have a Verizon nexus. You check it and USB debugging. Then use wugfresh tool kit to unlock. Or just power down to boot loader mode & use terminal. Its only used to reboot to allow unlock. My phone is a flash whore & that box always off.

Yes the box keeps unticking. That's a security feature to stop a thief unlocking your bootloader and using your phone.

Good lord man read the thread.
ON THE NEXT BOOT OF ANDROID, ALLOW OEM UNLOCK IS TICKED BACK OFF AUTOMATICALLY, THIS IS NORMAL AND CORRECT.
The reason it says allow unlock, and not unlock... Is because this command only ALLOWS unlocking to happen.
As a security measure, you need to allow unlock, then immediately do it... YOU CANNOT ENABLED ALLOW OEM UNLOCK FOR USE AT A LATER DATE.
This toggle simply passes the message to your bootloader that you it can be unlocked via the unlock command.
The point is, that if your phone is password protected and locked... No one can flash anything to it. If you could simply boot the phone to bootloader and unlock, it would not be as secure. You need to enter the password to gain access to the running phone, then choose to allow the unlock, then reboot. If you could simply toggle on allow unlock and leave it through reboots it would negate the whole idea that if someone gets your phone they cannot unlock the bootloader with out the phones password.

The switch "usb debugging on" likes to jump back again. You have to repeat the setting on the screenshot 3 to 4 times if you want to keep debugging.

Then the unlocking must also work. Restart the pc, take another usb cable, restart the bootloader.
If that doesn't help, go to my root thread and follow the instructions for the UPDATE.APP from the last thread update.

I also have a v40 with the bootloader unlocked (can enable USB debugging in Developer tools), but whenever I try to boot to fastboot mode (either from recovery or adb) it just boots back to normal Android OS.
Were you ever able to figure this out?

The process to unlock your bootloader is a bit more "involved" than just simply flipping a switch..

I've been on Android for 10 years, originally with the Galaxy S1 and many devices across multiple manufacturers.. The ability to "Enable OEM Unlock" at all has been a key indicator of whether the bootloder was unlocked. This was true for all of my devices, up to my LG v30 that I continue use for my daily driver.
The v40 was the first device that allowed me to enable OEM Unlock without the bootloader being unlocked, which is why I was confused.
Thanks for the reply.

Right. That was my point as well.
https://en.droidwiki.org/wiki/OEM-Unlock
Enabling OEM Unlock itself does not unlock the bootloader, but you can not unlock the bootloader unless it is unlocked.
This is the first device I've used that allowed me to enable OEM Unlock, but DID NOT allow me to unlock the bootloder. For other devices that had a locked bootloader, the first step of enabling OEM Unlock wasn't even an option, it was either missing altogether, or it was greyed out and unchangeable. That was my confusion.

Hello everyone, I recently got a Pixel 7!
I have yet to unlock my pixel, but I was wondering if relocking the bootloader would be as it was never unlocked.
Assuming that, possibly, I restore the stock rom and relock the bootloader will my pixel show the bootloader unlocked warning at boot?
Most importantly, the "OEM Unlock" settings under "Developer options" will be greyed out or forced on? Will it show something like "bootloader already unlocked"?
Or would it be exactly as if I never unlocked it?
Thanks for your replies

If you want to restore your device to stock and relock the bootloader in one go, use the Android Flash Tool
