How can I verify that I unlocked my bootloader successfully?
I used terminal method, but I want to know if it is already unlocked.
Thanks in advance.

So i see that u can install cwm recovery without rooting. So basically the bootloader is unlocked from the factory?? Is that correct??

Why would anyone have any use for it over here? It doesn't do anything we can't already do.
Plus, Safestrap is extremely device-specific.
Really I'm not sure if I. Want to unlock bootloader as of yet. And coming from the og photon with locked boot loader I have no experience with any other recovery method.
Could i unlock after rooting by the exploit method.

Unlocking helps you to root, so you cant unlock AFTER rooting. You also need to be rooted to flash custom recoveries

I used motofail2go to root without unlocking. So when I do get ready to unlock ido I need go unroot first?

Ohh well in that case, no, just unlock the bootloader directly
My mistake, its just that the only root methods for the Photon that I've seen so far unlock your bootloader at the same time
So just ignore what I said and unlock directly

Hi everyone,
I am trying to install Cyanogenmod 10 on my Sony Xperia miro. Earlier I had rooted my phone using the software "UnlockRoot".
When I type in "fastboot flash boot boot.img" I get an error saying "FAILED(remote:The device must be rooted first)"
I have enabled USB debugging. I haven't followed the tutorial on Sony's site because I thought that the bootloader must already be unlocked since my device has been rooted.
I'd appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance!
Your device is not properly root as fastboot said. Try re rooting with latest binary.
Okay, I'll try that out. Thank you very much for the help.

No luck...
I re-rooted my phone, and am still having the same problem. How do I get proper root access?
Thanks!
What is your Firmware version ?

Have you unlocked the bootloader ?
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda premium
My firmware version is 4.0.4.
I used Unlockroot Pro to root my device. I am not sure whether it has unlocked the bootloader. If my device is rooted, does it mean that it has an unlocked bootloader? Do I unlock the bootloader after my device is rooted, or must I un-root it first?
Do you think this software is safe: http://www.unlockroot.com/unlockphone.html?
Thanks!
If ur device is rooted it doesnt mean that u have unlocked bootloader properly
I dont think the way u have rooted has unlocked ur phone's bootloader
Try unlocking bootloader first
Search for it
This should fix ur problem:thumbup:

So I tried installing this last week had trouble and got me on the screen that says something like 'this is non Verizon please take to nearest Verizon store' SOMETHING LIKE THAT, sure you'll know what I'm talking about. And I want to try over but I'm not to sure why that happened. I'm THINKING it was because phone wasn't unlocked. But I'm not to sure if it was locked of unlocked. Is there several reasons that message can come up or is there one main cause, that cause being phone wasn't unlocked??

Only reason why you saw this prompt is because the bootloader is still locked. Odin flash a stock image then use Casual to root and unlock or use Invisiblek's guide on Rootzwiki to root and unlock via Odin. What root utility did you use to root?

Well I got it unlocked and rooted, so when I do the wipe and factory reset then flash rom it should all be fine right? The factory reset and wipe won't lock the bootloader?

If you're running official 4.4.4 firmware (SU4-21/SU5-25/SU6-7) - you must downgrade first to SU3-15 cause that's only available way to get root. Or you can install alternative firmware like CyanogenMod cause you're lucky one and have unlocked bootloader.

if you already have a unlocked boot loader just flash a custom recovery

With an unlocked boot loader all you have to do is flash twrp recovery then boot into recovery and when you exit it will ask if you want to install SU.
Here is a link to a tool others have used to flash twrp.

I unlocked BL using middleman back then. Is there a way to root without custom recovery? Like running a .bat file to root my N6.
