hey guys, I've noticed that almost all of you have the bootloader of your Sony Xperia E JB (C1505) unlocked.
Mine says not allowed, I just wanted to ask if you guys that have it unlocked, had the same ''status'' as mine, or if there is any way that I can unlock my bootloader...
I have my phone rooted but with the bootloader unlocked the possibilities are not comparable
I really wanted to change the rom, my kernel (to be able to overclok etc), but im afraid I can't to that
Please give me an answer

To unlock bootloader follow the instructions from Sony Mobile: developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader
I had to send my mobile to Sony service center to change the Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No to Yes.
Good luck.

Hello recently decided to unlock the bootloader on your Xperia L by Application EZ-Unlock, but ok I see similar output unlock the bootloader yes but I did reboot and since then . not want to come in flashmod or fastboot.HELP FRIENDS!
Why u tried unlock bootloader using this untested method? You have at least two method on forum How-To unlock bootloader:silly:. If really your phone has been bricked, u can only send to service(and pay - Unlock bootloader=lost warranty)
The phone does not lose the warranty and they said on the site that I am entitled to a new

After unlocking the BL,flash stock rom with Flashtool...
Sorry,didn't read last line.Please delete this post...
I am going to buy the Xperia L on saturday but I want to confirm one thing first.My friend told me that it is not possible to unlock bootloaders on some Xperia devices.
After 3 hours of vigourous searching I kinda found out that unlocked sony devices always have the capability for the bootloader to be unlocked but I am still not sure.
So i want to someone to confirm this for me:
If I buy a sim-unlocked Xperia L,Is it 100% certain that it will have the capability for the bootloader to be unlocked?
Thank you

Thank you so much for the quick reply.
I am not really "learned" when it comes to Android hacking and stuff.

Don't worry, you'll learn it fast enough when you get your hands on a Android phone.

Relock the bootloader
Root the phone without unlocking the bootloader
Unrooting the phone
Flash custom ROM
Flash custom recovery environment
Flash stock ROM back
Backup & Restore TA partition containing DRM keys
Hi guys, my new Z3 has just arrived today and I am looking to remove the bloat. I went to the Sony site to unlock my bootloader but aparently it cannot be unlocked (using service menu to check). I am new to Sony products, does this mean I will never be able to unlock my bootloader? Is this caused by a hardware difference?
Thanks

Plenty about this on the forums already.
If service menu says "bootloader unlock allowed: no"
You can't do anything.
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app
My Z3 is D6653 android 4.4.4 build 23.0.A.2.108
i have unlock boot b4.. after than i was lock it back to restore back original ...but now i wan unlock back it not working d
just show me the error have rooted is that only can unlock one time???after lock back its not working any more??
Can someone clearify to me what i lose or what dont work if i unlock my bootloader and root my Z3... Some camera elements dont work? I lose TA and DRM things? What else? Now i have rooted Note 4 without losing anything (okay, Knox but i dont even need it) but i havent never unlock Sony Xperia Devices and i can't live without root.
Hi,
I want to root my Xperia Z3 but I know I have to unlock the boot loader first. However, when I went on to the Sony website to do so, I was told to check if I could unlock it or not. So I typed in *#*#7378423#*#* on my dialer and followed the instructions blah blah blah... And then it said "boot loader unlock allowed: no"
Does this mean I can never unlock the bootloader and/or root this phone?
If you SIM unlock your xperia it will change to boatloader unlock allowed yes. Been like that since the 2011 xperia's.

Not true. I've seen that some people have sent in their SIM unlocked phones to Sony and had them change the bootloader status, but I've never seen any official documentation on it.
Bootloader unlocked = No means you can't unlocked the bootloader through the Sony process

Not true and has never been the case.
I read that on an old Z2 post, i thought it was true
So?...
So is there any way I can root it without sending it into Sony??

No, if you cannot unlock the bootloader then you cannot root. (Currently)

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

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.

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
