Sony Z1 Fastboot Driver Installing issue?

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to get my bootloader unlocked.. i went to the Sony website and followed all the steps... i have my bootloader key.. i am on step 3 out of 4..
i gotten to the part where its asking me to replace the driver file inside USB_Driver with the one from sonys website...
after going though and doing it my driver still wont update and allow me to finish the unlocking.
i have tried doing this though flashtool but i also get the same error when trying to complete the last step..
to confirm i have SDK manager and flash tool and i still cant get it to work.
Would anyone care to help me via skype/teamviewer? i dont mind paying you some money for your time..
i gotten to this stage before and its really frustrating (with another phone)
Kind Regards
Paul

You just said your phone doesn't allow unlocking, unfortunately it won't happen. No way around it

so let me get this straight? what is the point in requesting a unlocked bootloader off the sony website if the phone can never be unlocked?
i thought all phones can be unlocked. i am slightly confused?

The first check is to check whether or not the bootloader can be unlocked, if your phone says no, then sadly you can't - you should stop at this moment.
All phones can probably have a generated key to unlock the bootloader, but doesn't mean it will work.

Same phone. Same Problem.
Hello.
I have the same phone with the same problem. However I was able to temp-root this device but alas when you reset...it looses root. I tried to use Sunshine.apk, same problem. I was wondering though if the carrier be unlocked first then proceed to unlock the boot loader, might be able to perm root the device. IDK just brainstorming to myself. I know there is a way to unlock the boot loaders for all devices I am actually going to try a different solution called XTC2clip.

Looking at the same situation with this device right now. Most all Verizon prepaid have the Bootloader locked. But I think I might have a solution for this other than sunshine going to give it a try soon.

This is actually htc_a32wlpp. Have to get into RUU mode before you find this out.
I get this when attempting in RUU
C:\Users\User>fastboot oem get_identifier_token
< waiting for device >
...
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X00, disable unlock
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] oem unlock Turn Off!
OKAY [ 0.593s]
finished. total time: 0.599s
Reading that makes me think there might be some hope.. Though I do not understand why it is giving out info about frp. As for oem unlock there is no option to turn this on at least within the OS. Going to dig around some and try a few things. Does anyone have any solution for this handset? Know if Sunshine works? Chimera? xtc2clip? I haven't checked these just yet.
I can get EDL mode as well using my cable with these Desire 626's but so far I havent been able to do anything as the 8909 loaders I have do not work on this model and don't remember right now if they did on the others either.

hello i own FIG LA1 4GB RAM 2018 P SMART .. POTATO NV CANT DETECT MY DEVCE BUT I CAN SEE HUAWE SERVICE DRIVER PROPERLY ON MY DEVICE LIST PLIZ HELP ME

I did the procedure and unlock the botloader, but I do not know what to do to install the custom recovery, I try through fastboot mode by turning off the phone and connecting it with volume - but it is not recognized when I write ADB devices :c, I do not know if it matters but I have the latest version of emui.
Pd: this method is easier and faster than with DC unlocker, just know how to uncover the phone without damaging anything.

Sorry, but the operation only worked on one device (single sim). With the other (same model of smartphone but dual sim), once the procedure is completed, the error "Your Device Has Failed Verification And May Not Work Properly" appears. The phone gets stuck on that screen! If I repeat the procedure by checking the item "Disable FBLOCK" it works but the bootloader remains unlocked. I also tried flashing the bootloader for Kirin659 (A) and Kirin659 (B) but nothing.
How can I solve?

Good news, I solved it by downloading and installing a rom in eRecovery mode!!!! Now the bootloader is also locked in the other smartphone!

Doing this process can I change the ROM FIG-LX3 to FIG-LX1?

Question Mi 11 No OTA Updates since launch

Hello, I pre-ordered the Mi 11 from my phone carrier (SFR, France) and so I own the phone since launch and there have been no OTA updates.
I'm running MIUI Global 12.0.2.0(RKBEUSF). I can't flash a more recent EU rom because I can't unlock my bootloader. Whenever I go to unlock status and press the button, it says something about it being impossible to verify, no matter what I do. I'm basically stuck with this rom. There are numerous bugs (notably gesture navigation doesn't work at all, the bar at the bottom doesn't do anything, I have to use the 3 buttons instead). Anyone know what to do? Thanks!

Google how to unlock bootloader for mi 11. There is a whole procedure to follow. Hitting the unlock button alone is not working.

but that's like the first part no? If I can't do this then I can't unlock it at all.

I had exactly the same ROM because i had the Mi 11 Cloud White with a fu****g RKBEUSF instead of RKBEUXM... So you can't upgrade in local mode.
You must ask for unlock bootloader, for this you must :
1/ Create a Mi Account
2/ Donwload Xiaomi Unlock available here
3/ Your Phone will be listed "Locked" (Blue) or "Unlocked" (Red), if it's locked, you must click Unlock for asking Unlock ticket, and you must wiat after that 168 hours [1 week]. Don't try to ask before this delay if not waiting delay is resetted.
4/ Before the Unlock you must save / backup all your data (DCIM, Contacts, SMS, etc...) because Unlock Bootloader causiing a full Wipe / Delete Data partition.
5/ After waiting 1 Week (i advise to try to unlock after 1 hour more for be sure), launch again Xiaomi Unlock, click unlock... Unlock process check Xiaomi servers... And it's done !
After that you will finally use Mi Flash Tool here and flash your ROM Global RKBEUXM in fastboot mode. You can found the lastest rom here : venus_eea_global_images_V12.5.2.0.RKBEUXM
You must extract the *.tgz (with a archiver like 7Zip or WinRAR) and put the path in Mi Flash Tool, and here we goooo for approximatively 8/10 minutes

Can i lock my bootloader afterwards to restore OTA updates?

The unlocker is asking me to connect my account on the mi unlock status page on my phone. I tried it (again) and this appeared. Nothing I do changes this. Any ideas?

Did you add the mi account on the phone? This is a good tutorial

I did but after removing it and adding it back, it finally worked. I'll proceed with the unlocking then.

But before I do it, I gotta ask. Does it void my warranty? Can I relock the bootloader afterwards? Can I receive OTA updates? Thanks!

Sure, after passed on EEA your bootloader will be relock. Unlock bootloader (for Xiaomi) do not void warranty.
Personnaly i prefer keep unlock on my 12.5.2 EU for Root.
After be passed on EUXM you will have OTA on your original canal, finish the custom EUSF (SFR)

Unlock the bootloader

Have you tried formatting data on that locked state to maybe fix that device verification? I don't know if it works but you can use the OTA update rename trick to I guess switch region on locked bootloader. I don't know if it works because I personally haven't tested it. It works in downgrading though.

Don't. Bad idea. Never downgrade by changing and renaming the zip file after verification in updater app WHILE still being locked. Chances are you might brick your phone.
If you have unlocked before, try to run "fastboot oem unlock" in fastboot mode to unlock it again. You should be able to unlock it without needing Mi Account.

Not working

Alright that didn't work as expected. I noticed mi unlock flashed unlock.bin to the unlock partition at first time unlocking bl, so I assume that partition would still be intact even you have relocked it.
Try to unlock it using mi unlock and your account which use to unlock, no need to bind the mi account again since it won't work anyway.
