[Q] I can't unlock the bootloader for Xperia tipo st21i

Hello Community,
I hope you are well.
Would you please help me unlock the bootloader for an xperia tipo st21i
1st I tried the sonymobile method but this device is not supported.
2nd I tired the [se bootloader_unlocking_relocking_1.6] ,but I can't get the unlocking number after I write the IEMI 14 number , an error messege pops up => see attached pic
-The phone is GENERIC
-rooting status : Bootloader unlock allowed: yes
-The IMEI : 354807055894752
I am ready to provide any other details
Thank you in advence

You need to check if can unlock it. Dial *#*#7378423#*#*, go to Service Menu, Service info, Configuration, if you Rooting Status says: Yes, you can unlock bootloader. Go to sony mobile unlock page and follow instructions.
Good Luck.

I unlocked my XJ almost year ago with official method, I'll check what's changed.

Edit:
Try with Flashtool.
You just connect your phone in flashmode (volume down + connect usb) press BLU button, then unlock.
Good Luck.

I tried this method, it didn't work :/ because I always have to put the unlock key in Flashtool :/
The unlcock key can only be provided by sonymobile , and sonymobile is not supporting this model anymore , which means i have to look for another way.
Thank you.

um ni

Actually, I just had the same problem 2 days ago - it turns out it doesn't matter which device you choose from the drop down list. Just choose a random one, then enter your email, and then follow the procedure after that. I tried that and it didn't work for me. If anyone tries and succeeds using this, head over here and tell me what I'm doing wrong.

I guess sony pulled out Tipo from its supported devices, I unlocked mine through developer world website a year ago and successfull.

Hi guys, my computer can't find my Xperia Tipo when is in fastboot mode. any ideas?
I have alla the drivers installed

Just to clarify: the Tipo is not shown as a separate supported device, instead you can get the unlock code through the Aino page.

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.

It says "no"... There's no way I can unlock it if it's written no ?

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

how did you find out that your BOOTLOADER unlock is NOT allowed?
anways if your device's bootload cannot be unlocked then you cannot do anything!
however there is only one solution! , DOWNGRADE YOUR DEVICE TO ANDROID 5.1.1 ( use flashtool > Xperifirm > 2015 device z5(samuri)--take firmware "service Exchange Unit" form list(thats android 5.1.1) on which z5 was actually left SONY FACTORY)
once your downloaded firmware, close xperifirm and FLASHTOOL automatically trigger making ftf file for you ,
flash this firmware and TRY ROOTING it with KINGROOT or KINGOROOT , as ANDROID5.x.x had xploits and kingroot and root it.
now you have z5 device ROOTED (LOCKED BOOTLOADER).
and if even KINGROOT have no strategy then I don't have any other options for you

That means by downgrade firmware I can root my device, but no surety for that. And no custom rom also.
I bought a second hand device. Now I am planing to sell it
Thanks for the reply.

all the best, if you wana stick to Xperia Line then I would suggest for you
XZs or XZP
make sure you check the boot unlock status on display pieces, XZs can be rooted after boot is unlocked where XZP , you must buy $20 utility and run it for every update.
BOTH DEVICES , DRMKEYS cannot be BACKED UP
for z5, til XZ, drm keys can backed up!

i have Z5 Docomo AU model SOV32, and i want to custom rom mine, but when i check the Bootloader Status is "No".
So i can't do custom rom it ??
or any tips or way?, to do unlock the bootloader so i can do custom rom.
thanks before, and sorry for my bad english.
any answer for this noob question , many thanks.

No, you cannot install custom ROM on that device . next time when you buy xperia device check Bootloader Status before hand.
No tips, No way. (so said)

I tried this but can't root so far even with Kingroot or KingoRoot.

Xperifirm always give you an option of downloading the latest rom for your device. My device is Sony Z5 so therfore I can donwnload nougat 7.1.1 from experfirm. Now coming to the point as you said earlier about lollipop 5.1.1
How you can download an older version of rom from xperifirm. I never find the way how do you?

Open phone app, input *#*#7378243#*#*, tap "service info" "Configuration", then find "Bootloader unlock allowed".
If it said "Yes", you can get your unlock code on https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/ ; If it said "No", then...It was a great pity that your phone can't be rooted.
By the way, the SOV32 is customized version of au.

How do you unlock the Sony Xperia 5 II bootloader?

Hi, .
Sorry if this question has been asked and answered already, but has anyone had any success unlocking the bootloader for the Sony Xperia 5 II yet? I am interested in unlocking the bootloader

Is relatively easy. First go into your phone settings, scroll down to device information and scroll down to buildnumber and tap it 5 times to unlock developer mode. Then go to system settings and expand the list and go to developer settings and activate OEM unlock and USB debugging.
After that, write down the IMEI of the SIM 1 slot and go to this website https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader and scroll down to device and choose the Xperia 1 II (yes,it works for the 5 II) and there enter the IMEI and it will give you the unlock code. Note this unlock code somewhere. Just follow this instructions https://developer.sony.com/develop/...d/unlock-bootloader/how-to-unlock-bootloader/ and there you go...your bootloader is unlocked.

is anyone able to unlock the bootloader for the sony xperia 5 mark 2? I'm having the "so-52a" Japanese Docomo version. I'm not able to install the global version because it has a single sim card and I'm from India and not able to use the Jio volte calls. can anyone help me here?
hey, @anmolkakkar @Forbesii I've seen you guys already did it for the Xperia 5 mark 3 can you help here it will help full for me. thanks.

@yuvi070 Try https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/
Select your device at the bottom of this page and follow the steps. This should be fairly simple but the process wipes all your data so don't forget to take a FULL DATA backup before you begin.
