Hi,
I 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. I flashed the latest firmware with flashtool.. but my bootloader's status is still unknown. The device is rooted and verified. What i must to do to have back bootloader to unlockable?
Please help..

[tipo]Rooting status changed to "No" from "Yes". Can't enter fastboot mode now

[tipo]Rooting status changed to "No" from "Yes". Can't enter fastboot mode now
This xperia tipo st21i single sim had rooting status: "Bootloader Unlock: Yes" but it changed to "Bootloader unlock allowed : No" may be after flashing 11.0.A.4.22_generic or after a failed root exploit by flashtool or some other reason. I cant enter fastboot mode now. I want to install and test some custom roms on this device. Help please...
[ images attached. Flashtool log (the only log that i have) during bootloader unlocking is also attached.]
THE COMPLETE STORY:
The device was running 11.0.A.4.27_Indian firware. It is detecting sim cards of Reliance and aircel carriers but not of airtel and vodafone carriers. So i decided to flash modems from 11.0.A.4.22_generic.ftf. I successfully unlocked the bootloader yesterday with flashtool. I was able to enter fastboot mode. I tried flashing modem with "fastboot flash modem modem_fs1.sin" and i got "Error: Partition modem not found (remote error)". I tried rooting it using flashtool but root exploit failed. Then i successfully flashed entire 11.0.A.4.22_generic.ftf via flashtool in flashmode. I tried installing cwm using these instructions but then it failed at step3 "error su not found". I had downloaded boot.img which had twrp recovery. But then, i realised the device is not entering fastboot mode with any method. Then I checked rooting status and surprisingly it has now changed to "Bootloader unlock allowed: No". I came to know that unlockable devices cannot enter fastboot mode after searching forums. Flashtool still recognises it as unlocked.. How do i access fastboot mode again? How do i revert the rooting status back to " Bootloader unlock:Yes". My ultimate aim is to install a custom recovery and flash custom roms.

I can not unlock bootloader "Bootloader unlock allowed"

Whenever I try unlock bootloader bug out FAILED (remote: Command did not allowed).
I have Bootloader unlock allowed.
I tried in CMD - Fastboot and Flashtoo and out this same problem.
When I tried twice unlock bootloader I get OKAY and I try turn on my phone, I walk in bootloop.
Where is problem?
Hi! So actually you did unlocked your bootloader (as i understand), and when you turn on your device after the unlock you go into bootloop. This is something normal. You need to flash the stock .ftf with flashtool (i recommend you to use old versions like 0.9.11.0). Have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/help/bootloop-unlocking-bootloader-t2675892 ! Good luck!
What firmware version did you flashed. I have flashed firmware for c2104 and i got this bootloop. Make sure you flash the propper firmware verison for your device.

When I tried it, in Service Menu I have "Rooting status: Unkown".
I have bad code in Bootloader unlock Wizard and I can't change it, field is inactive.
I have firmware C2104, I don't have any branding.

Question Help unlocking bootloader

Hey guys,
I am trying to unlock my bootloader but it doesnt work, everytime I do the "Fastboot oem get_unlock_data" command, it says it failed to get unlock data.
I have unlock bootloader option in dev settings enabled and all drivers properly installed along with fully working sdk and fastboot tools etc. I have a couple xiaomi devices with different custom roms.
Previously I installed RETLA using tiny fastboot script cus i bought the phone in latin america but software channel says RETAR... Is this discrepancy the problem?
If not, anyone know why even though bootloader unlock option is on, the fastboot command to get the data fails?
Using getvar all i see the cid is 0x0000, i've read that having cid: 0x0000 is the problem, might installing the proper firmware: RETAR change this?
Ty

Most likely you will have to forget about unlocking the bootloader.
Reflashing will not help you in any way.

Do you know why the cid is like that? Idk what has been done to it cus I bought it used. Any ideas?
Ty
The boot loader on your phone was blocked incorrectly and the system stopped starting.
cid: 0x0000 is a consequence of the boot loader working state recovery software.
It is now in a state oem-locked" as it was originally from the factory. But you cannot unlock the bootloader now. But, if I'm not mistaken, you can install firmware for any update region without having to unlock the bootloader.
