My name is Dante, and i have the xperia M2 d2305, and it says Unlock Bootloader allowed: NO ,
And i have read that i change it by free or anything, my questions are :
1) What happens if i try it anyways ? does anyone know ? will it brick or bootloop or will it work ? i dont want to and i would prefer to dont take such a big risk.
And...
2) Is everyone totaly sure that i cant change it and unlock it ? i would really like to unlock it so i can install cm in the future (not so far future...).
Anyway, thanks to everyone and sorry for my english.
Greetings from Argentina.
You can ask your carrier to make your bootloader unlockable I guess

No, you can't, AFAIK only in Spain you can change Unlock Allowed: No to Yes if you don't have SIM lock.
but what if i try to unlock it anyway ? did anyone tried ? would i get a bootloop or something worse ?
It wont proceed. In most cases it is not allowed when the phone is carrier-locked. If your phone is sim free then you should ask you carrier to unlock it for you

if so, don't force to unlock your phone, because it will end up hard brick!
If it says no, it's no. Nobody but Sony can change that. Fact.
Hi,
I have been looking at unlocking the z3 but am a bit confused.
I know they say unlocking the bootloader will cause picture degradation etc but is that the same as unlocking the phone to other networks?
I dont want to install a custom rom I just want to be able to use my 3 sim in it rather than the vodafone one that it is locked too. Is it possible to unlock the phone that way or will that also cause camera problems?
Thanks
No you won't lose anything at all. Request a unlock code from your operator and all you have to do once you receive it is put a unsupported sim in your phone. Enter the unlock code and your done. You will lose no functionality at all as you are not touching the bootloader.

Ah right cool thank you. I wasn't too sure and obviously didn't want to mess up the camera etc.
Thanks again
No mate you'll be fine. Unlocked mine the day I got it. Just don't try guessing the unlock code as you only get so many attempts to enter the correct one.

It's impossible to unlock...
Is it simlocked? If it's simlocked to some network you are unable to unlock the bootloader. If you unlock the phone, you will be able to unlock the bootloader

I had several phones that were sim locked and I was unable to unlock the bootloader. After sim unlocking them I was able to unlock the bootloader. The same goes for the Xperia M2, it was locked on T-Mobile MK, after unlocking the phone I was able to unlock the bootloader.

So, I assume that if I flash a debranded firmware from Xperia M2 (My cellphone can't unlock Bootloader about the "[x]Newtork 10" is locked in SimLock) may unlock the bootloader without any troubles? Is that so? Or I'm mistaken?
If I'm correct, that'd be amazing, I'd like use other ways to personalize my phone but I can't 'cause of the stupid Bootloader xDD.
Thanks!

Unfornately yes it's true how DavidMKD sayd before you need to unlock you device before unlocking the bootloader i asked few friends and XDA members and they confirmed too so , unlock the phone than you can unlock the bootloader

Debranding basically removes all the bloatware that slow your phone down. You can't sim unlock with debranding, only with special code provided by some other sim unlock sites/ebay

Exactly that. Try to enter it correctly because there is a limit on how many times you can enter to network unlock code. If it doesn't work on KitKat, downgrade it to 4.3 and enter the code. I had similar problem where I was unable to unlock on KK but on 4.3 worked fine.

Well, about that, I have a "plan", or, better said, a contract between the carrier and the cellphone, so, I must wait for two days to complete the "legal" contract. So, after that, I guess that I can unlock the device and then, unlock bootloader.
Thanks for everything!

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

Hi,
as reported in the official Sony page "If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step (to unlock bootloader). If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.".
It seems to be a problem of the carrier but if your carrier is Movistar you can give a look on this thread:
search on Google "Bootloader unlock allowed: No... SONY solve it, please!" (sorry but i can't post link)
