I tried unlocking bootloader and it went into bootloop after that, I flashed stock rom and now the bootloader is not unlocked still.
will it go again in bootloop after unlocking bootloader?

HELP!
I followed every instruction, enabled usb debugging, backed up TA, then used flashtool to unlock the bootloader (after entering the unlock code flashtool showed OKAY, then the device rebooted). now I'm stuck in the bootloop. when I try to connect the device with flashtool to flash the stock ftf, it says usb debugging is turned off! how can I flash the device now? Is there any way I can turn on usb debugging again?

Just turn off your phone...When flashtool's ready to flash, connect your phone with down button pressed..
Flashtool's never said usb debugging on/off when the device is off..

Relock doubt
I have unlocked my bootloader and want to relock it but have not yet made any TA backup....so can i make a TA backup of another xperia-L device and flash that in my Xperia-L?

I, recently tried to unlock my bootloader via flash tool, but for some reason, my rooting status (my bootloader) is unknown (before was unlockable. I relocked and unlocked it again but still no luck. Then I flashed the firmware with flashtool.. but my bootloader's status is still unknown. I think the error is due to some file named x10flasher in the flash tool. What i must to do for have back bootloader unlockable?
Please someone Help me

if you unlock your bootloader your phone must be bootlop( bootlop mean unlocking bootloader success) now to recover your phone flash .ftf via flashtool

Yes flash ftf using flashtool
Bootloader should be unlocked now
Sent from my taoshan using XDA mobile app

As the people before said, bootloop means that your bootloader is unlocked now! Now you have to download flashtool and flash a stock kernel (if you don't have one you can create one yourself through PC companion, instructions are here: http://www.mashinie.com/trick-to-create-sony-stock-ftf-rom.html)

Is your device detected on Device Manager?

What sort of commands are you using? I mean bootloader unlock doesn't happen via flashing anything or typing commands from a power shell on this device. All you gotta do is sign up in-depth test then after reboot your bootloader will be unlocked. With power shell/cmd you can flash stuff and custom recovery like twrp.

Please help, thanks

how to unlock the bootloader in Realme 5i RMX2030
Here is a good guide that worked for me to unlock the bootloader:

The root part didn't work, Magisk complains about unknow boot image format

I've done the in-depth test and it's on the Fastboot screen but when I type fastboot flashing unlock in a command window it just shows me the help text for fastboot, which doesn't show any command or option for either flashing or unlock, so how can I get it to work if those aren't valid commands?
fastboot devices shows my phone, so the device is recognised.
EDIT: I'm still on Android 9 A.15. I understand that there's no unlocked for Android 10 yet.
EDIT: Nevermind. I was using adb/fastboot from the link in this guide, which is v1.3 https://www.ytechb.com/how-to-root-realme-5i-and-unlock-bootloader/
After I updated to minimal v1.43 from here it worked https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool

My problem was same. But i successfully downgrade to color os 6. I guess you can try it too.
Enable USB Debugging and Allow unlock boot loader option in USB debugging.
Connect your mobile with PC and use following Command.
adb reboot bootloader
fastbook flashing unlock
Check mobile for unlock option.

How did you downgraded to colour os 6?
I'm trying to root my realme 5i that i upgraded to 10.
