Vey common question - General Questions and Answers

Ok I know this a very common question and it may be annoying for some users but I'll be short
Is there a way to unlock Bootloader with Bootloader Unlocked Allowed: No?
I thought that instead of collecting info for other sites it can be better to ask here
Also, my Tipo is new security, 13w06
Please tell me there's a way :crying::crying::crying:

In your device, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked :crying::crying:

Well ... if you look here in the List of Supported Devices ... Both Tipo and Tipo Dual is supported. So, i'd recommend you just go about with the steps and try to unlock ...

Sorry but Sony steps say clearly that if I have "Bootloader Unlocked Allowed: No" you can't continue... It doesn't bother me to try, but my Tipo can get bricked, and that's not funny

For now there's no way we can unlock bootloader because our device is using mediatek chipset..unlike others Xperia device which using Qualcomm chipset..
Just let Sony unlock the bootloader in the upcoming updates. ... u will get to know this in the same above menu where the status will become yes!

Unlocking bootloader imposible

Well, hello to everyone. I bought Sony Xperia Z3 and bought code to unlock it for all sim cards and it works. When i visited Sony's site for unlocking bootloader i came across this post:
In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.
Well, my device cannot be unlocked because it says No..
so what can i do to unlock it?

What? Do you know what you are taking about..
Anyway, if the service menu says you cannot do it then it is impossible to unlock it.

For your device it is not allowed, so you can't unlock the bootloader.
/I've read some threads about trying to unlock the bl although service says "no" on other Devices like z Ultra:
It's not impossible to unlock the bl with official method if you know your device earlier had status allowed "yes".

its necessity if you want an aosp rom .....
Stock basted Roms on most Sony devices are pretty fast and solid in my opinion no need to really unlock unless your desperate for cm
So that's it? If the bootloader can't be unlocked officially, I'm stuck on Sony roms forever?
Wouldn't bother me so much but my Z3 has a horrible bug where it doesn't work with the bluetooth in my car without rebooting first every time. Was hoping to install CM12.
Could be a hardware fault the Bluetooth

It's not that I have any major issues with Sony roms, I'd just like to be able to flash other stuff in the future, should I want to.
I'm still going to keep the Z3, such a nice phone, nothing else really comes close to it for me yet. Maybe the M9, but I just got the Z3 for £260 from o2 and had it network unlocked, probably have been looking at least double that for the HTC.
You can still root the device and customize it. Tools like the XPosed framework are great at modifying specific parts of the ROM.
But to confirm: you're stuck. You can't unlock Sony's unlockable bootloader. I've heard of people trying to unlock it, I've never heard of a successful case.
Enjoy the phone, it's among the best available right now (imho).

Rooting and flashing the Z5?

Can anyone help I need to root and flash my Z5.. I've done it alot times on my old HTC one but its a long time and I totally forgot the process and I know its a bit trickier for the z5 so therefore I will appreciate any help.

Nope. You have to unlock the bootloader to do anything permanent to the Z5, and that includes root.
To check if you can unlock your bootloader, go to your Phone app and type "*#*#7378423#*#*" (without quotes), then go to the service menu. If it says "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes", you're good to go and can follow this guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/dirty-root-solution-unlocked-bl-t3233274
Now, if it says "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No", you'll have to downgrade to Lollipop and follow this guide.

Hi,
-First you can't change it to yes
-Second You can't root your device for the time being cause you need an unlocked bootloader
-Third there's no way to unlock a bootloader unless you have "Unlocked allow yes"
-Fourth be polite next time and say at minimum "Hello" please
Assalam o alaikum!
I've found a software on YouTube to change bootloader status no to yes

I don't think so, we're talking about bootloader so it can f*cked up anytime I think it would be better to don't play with it if we're not sure.
This is just an advice, do what you want to do after that, I'm just giving my thought no need to follow it if you don't want to
What is the logic behind this?
I mean some devices are unlockable and some are not!
What this actually mean?
Well! Can i install custom recovery on locked bootloader?

Nope, you need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash anything.
So it simply means i can't flash any recovery,rom or root my device
That pretty much mean you can't do anything right now sorry bro
It means I've to sale out my device
And buy other brand like LG or HTC
Or exchange it against another unlockable one ?
I don't know, do as you like, sorry for you, just bad luck
http://bootloaderunlock.com/
I've found a video tutorial on YouTube with a link to download software to unlock the bootloader of devices those shows the status "Bootloader unlock allow:No"
Here is the video link
Beware a lot of fake videos are running through the Internet, I warn you, but as I said before do as you like.
If I were you I would not play with bootloader, either I change phone, or I wait for a locked bootloader tuto.

Did you try this? I found this video a while ago, decided not to try it
Why not to try it?
Okay now i decided to not to play with my z5 and change my device
Wise choice, still sorry for you mate
Thanks but this is definitely my last device from sony
This ain't Sony who's responsible, this is your provider.
I'm French I have a Z5 (no prenium no compact)
From Bouygues Télécom, and it ain't locked I'm actually rooted running a custom Rom everything is fine.
This is between you and your luck, you and your provider

Can't unlock bootloader Xperia Z3

I want to install a custom ROM and recovery on my Z3 but I can't find a way to unlock the bootloader. Even with the FlashTool it doesn't seems to work. I tried downgrading to an earlier version but everytime my phone gets bricked unless I use the last version available.
Thanks
Go to dialer. Type *#*#7378423#*#*
In service menu navigate to service info, configuration, and you will see a line that says "bootloader unlock available: yes" or "no"
If it says no then you will not be able to unlock the bootloader as it is factory locked to this state.
If it says yes then follow the Sony guide to bootloader unlocking Z3. They will email you the unlock code and details of how to proceed.

That's correct.
Unfortunately not all devices can be unlocked and there's no way to change that status.
