Yes. Open dial and press:
*#*#7378423#*#*
This opens service menu, choose Service Info and then Configuration.
Look for rooting status. If it says bootloader unlocked than you are unlocked. If it says Unlock allowed Yes, then you are locked but can unlock. If it say Unlock allowed No, than it's provider locked version and can not be unlocked, but still rootable.

Thanks for the info mate. I am doomed :/ I never wanted to unlock my bootloader but someone replied that if I install custom fw like mw or existenz my bootloader will not be unlocked. Now. I have lost the camera quality I had because my bootloader is unlocked . Any solution to repair it?

Bootloader is never unlocked BY INSTALLING custom fw. But you need to unlock first to install custom firmware. However, stock based custom fw doesn't need it. So if you have unlocked bootloader, you must have did it by yourself or it was already unlocked if you both it second hand. Unless you have backup of your TA partition there is no way back. Never try to flash TA partition of other phone into yours or you will hard brick it.

Please post what system version you are on. If you have either of the last 2 OTAs, you won't be able to unlock.

We need to know what system version you are running, it is in the "About Phone" tab under Settings.

No worries, thanks for the photo. Unfortunately, you're on the latest update and you can't unlock the bootloader or gain root access. The BL unlock was patched on the last OTA and root was eliminated on this latest OTA.

The exploit used to unlock the bootloader was patched by verizon. If you took an update, or received a phone with the update already installed, the exploit is fixed and you can no longer unlock the bootloader.
It's not a matter of him not considering you a brother.

How to RooT MT7-TL10C00B561 (LOCKED Bootloader)

Hello to every one !
I received an OTA update, around 1 giga , giving me the Version Android 6.0 on my phone MT7-TL10C00B561 (Chinese)
is there anyway to root it easily withoyt unlocking the bootloader ?!
I hope somebody can help me !
Thank you in advance friend !
Friends, please. No body can help me root the MT7-TL10C00B561 version with locked bootloader ?
You should unlock the bootloader, install TWRP recovery and then SuperSU.
Other methods are risky with late versions of Android.
No shortcuts these days.

i used to have my phone rooted with bootlader locked.
I dont care about new roms, i just want my phone to get updates but also to be rooted, as i need some apps.
Sorry for my questions:
- if i unlock bootloader , will it block the OTA updates ?
- At my version b561 (marshmallow) how can i root my MT7-TL10 (gold) ?
Is there any guide for rooting the Marshmallow ?
Last: Is there any Rom that has been till now modified really good and smoothly ? (Just asking as i have not been online since i was Kitkat-Rooted)
Would really appreciate the help if you or somebody can guide me to Root my android version on my phone as i cant use my apps anymore at this point.
Thank you in advance !
Can anybody help me please guide me to root my phone? :/

No I am not.
I really feel so bad that I can't have root or unlock the bootloader. And many apps I need don't work and I can't backup...
It has been 1 year and half since this phone is out and still there is no way to get a simple root...

BLU unlock allowed Xperia XZ AU vs Docomo so-01j

So as far as I know, ALL docomo XZ SO-01J come with status "bootloader unlock allowed: NO", and I have yet to see otherwise.
But is there a difference to the AU version, or the Softbank? Is either more likely to be unlockable? anybody have experience in that regard?
I also want to do a root or rom installation
my DoCoMo unlock status yes, but im afraid for Root or install global rom. Is it root and global install or custom ROM effect on the SIM card locked?

OK so Ill just answer my own post. It really depends on where you bought the phone and how it was unlocked.
If it was unlocked by just putting in the unlock code generated from a provider, Bootloader will still be locked, BLU status NO
If it was unlocked through flashmode and the code input that way (I have not done it but you get the idea), It should be able to unlock UBL YES
Most sellers are lazy basically, and just punch in the code and be done with it. there are sellers who do it the hard way, but you have to ask around. I asked around 15 sellers, and 3 of them said it was, 1 wasn't unlockable after all (i returned the unit), another one was, and the 3rd was a docomo but I havent ordered a unit.
Docomos can be unlockable, BUT they have some hardware / low level software quirks, and can be buggy when flashing non-docomo ROMs
Au and Softbank are pretty much the same, but I heard (cant confirm so far) NFC is not working on Softbank phones after flashing global ROMs, on AU it should work.

I would test flash an official docomo ROM just to be comfortable with the process and knowing "that it works, and you have to downgrade to a marshmellow official ROM first anyway for a TA backup. then you can most likely go back in case something doesnt work.

I can confirm that NFC doesn't work anymore on 601SO after flashing global rom. Not a big deal though as I doesn't use NFC often.

Keep the device powered on for at least 7 days, with the device connected to a data network the whole time. After that, the OEM unlock option should appear in developer options.

There is a trick where you change the date to a month behind or a month ahead then reboot the device.
Another method involves using TWRP to flash a file that bypasses it.
