[Q] Unlock bootload (rooted xperia z2)

Hello,
I have an xperia z2 rooted without unlocked bootloader (Unlock Bootloader Allowed:NO). However, I would like to unlock bootloader to install a custom rom ( Pacman or cyanogenmod ). Since my phone is rooted, is there a way of unlocking bootloader?

[Q] Doubts with locked bootloader and unlocked bootloader?

Hi.. I have Sony Xperia (ST21I) with build number 11.0.A.4.27 (android version 4.0.4). Few months before it rooted this phone with a unlock flash tool. I am sure that the phone is rooted now. And i managed to install a Clockwork Mod too with CWM installer.apk file. And tried too boot into clockwork mod. It worked. Now I don't know which bootloader I am having? A locked bootloader or a unlocked bootloader. This question may look silly to people who are really fluent to android. I never carried any process to specifically unlock my bootloader. I am asking this question because I have read that "You can't root your phone without unlocking bootloader". If what i read is true does that mean i am having a unlocked bootloader?? So now is it possible to flash a custom rom for unlocked bootloader? Thanks in advance.

only few roms

Dial *#*#7378423#*#*
You probably have a locked boot loader as bootloader can only be unlocked by a specific key.
I too have a xperia tipo and it can be rooted without unlocking the bootloader. I used unlockroot to root it.

Thanks Guys!!

To check unlock status:
Dial: *#*#7378423#*#*
Go to Service info>Configuration rooting status should say rooted (or something )
2. You can't use Xposed on phone (search M2 forum for more)
3. Eagle root is safer, you can ask questions there for more information.
Good Luck!

Xperia Z5 Bootloader unlocking not allowed after having unlocked it once before?

When I got my phone, the unlocking status was unlock allowed: yes
I unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom rom from androplus that had supersu.
after the rom was installed the unlocking status is unlock allowed: no
now I have a nagging notification to update android on my phone and it can't because I'm running a custom rom, and I can't update the rom because the bootloader is locked. what do I do?

So, basically you unlocked your bootloader to flash a custom rom and now you want to receive official ota updates from Sony?
If so, you have to stay in stock roms (flash with flashtool in flashmode or Xperia Compation in repair option) otherwise you need to wait for developer of custom rom you installed for an update.

no not quite, as I said I want to update the custom rom, but I can't flash another rom because my bootloader has been locked and I can't unlock it again.
the escape plan would be to flash stock rom back onto it, but I'd like to keep supersu if possible.

no, the site that provides the guide and key to unlock the bootloader specifically says I can't unlock it if the status says unlocked allowed: no
are you saying I should try anyway? other forums says there is no way around it if unlocked allowed is no.
the reason I haven't tried is the threat of having my data wiped without actually unlocking it

If you can enter recovery then make a full backup

lock and unlock your bootloader as many times as u want by FLASHTOOL. just keep the key with you
or even if you lost the key! request new from sony website.

Unable to unlock bootloader?

Hi, I have a Tipo s21i.
Looking to flash a custom rom and possibly root. Although looking through a few guides it says I need to unlock bootloader. But when I go on service menu suggested on sony website it says my bootloader is not unlockable.
Do I need to unlock the bootloader to install custom roms?
If so what can I do to do it as it says its not unlockable?
Thanks

First check if your bootloader can be unlocked. Open Phone and dial *#*#7378423#*#*
Service Menu should appear, go to service info, Customization Settings, at the end if Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock allow No you can't unlock bootloader. If it's missing you can't unlock it. If it is said Yes you can. You can use Flashtool or official Sony way to unlock it. Search XDA there are plenty tutorials on how to.
Good Luck!
