[Q] Problems with SE Bootloader Unlocker for Miro

So I finally menage to root my Miro using UnlockRoot but now trying to unlock the bootloader with SE Bootloader Unlocking using step-by-step instructions from ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560613.
After typing IMEI code (14 of 15 digits) it gets stuck at getting unlock code, so my real question is: can I flash custom ROM without unlocking the bootloader?!

When you write IMEI code just delete latest number!!! Same was with me when i go unlock bootloader,its write on SE UB page if "needed delete latest number" )

done that and it still won't give me unlock code....maybe it has something to do with inability to unlock bootloader?

Yes. You should first check if bl unlocking allowed on your phone.
If yes, You should see this
https://sites.google.com/site/projectfreexperia/download/bootloader-unlock
Also, there is a step by step guide on the sony website.
Also are the fastboot drivers properly installed on your computer?
The other thing is that the bl unlocking tool provided here in the forum, didnt work for my friend's tipo also. That program uses flashtool already present in its folder.
What i have noticed is that particular version of flashtool does not recognize miro/tipo. So maybe thats the issue.
Anyways you should refer the link i gave or the sony website.

It says that bootloader can't be unlocked but I was hoping that someone already menaged to avoid this blockage...or is there any way of flashing custom ROM with bootlocker locked?

sorry man i dont have any idea about that then. maybe you should talk to some dev.

[Q] Can Bootloader be unlocked

my Xperia L C2104 device does not show any YES or NO in the bootloader unlock allowed section of service configuration.
It only shows like this:
Bootloader Unlock Allowed
and no yes or no after that.
Also I tried to unlock the bootloader previously via official method but it showed Error: Bootloader cant be unlocked officially.
Help me guys, Can the Bootloader be unlocked in my device and if yes HOW? Any Unofficial method there for unlocking bootloader plz convey that...also m a NOOB so simpler language appreciated :silly:

Your device says your bootloader can be unlock..did you tried with flashtool?

I think The official method also includes the flashtool method.
or is there any other method using flashtool. plz convey tht method if any.
Also the phone doesnt show YES or NO in the bootloader unlock allowed option.

The phone doesn't need to only show YES or NOT.
It can also be ALLOWED or NOT ALLOWED.... which is practictly the same thing dont you think?
For sony devices bootloader can only be unlocked this way

I unlocked my bootloader couple of months ago with that method but sony site was diffrend back then....they changed it.
I don't think there is another way to unlock bootloader on your sony devices except that one....

I also tried that method a month ago. I will try it again. but the commands given in the website arent accepted. they show error with tht commands. :crying:

I had tons of problems with this, I thought all was lost. I have win 8.1 x64 and assumed it was a driver problem and so did the unsigned driver install in windows safe mode. No dice, flashtool continued to be unable to unlock. What worked for me was re-submitting my code to sony, I got a totally different unlock code and then it worked through flashtool! Maybe give that a try? Fingers crossed!!

Did you unlock and relock? I remember for HTC if you did that you had to get a new token.

I mentioned HTC because that happened to me with my One X and Butterfly, similar fastboot error, so I assumed so Sony is the same.
I believe you have to go to the Sony website and get another token:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/

New token will be the same. Give the forums a search you have to put the key in a text file in a folder in flash tool to re-unlock. There is a tutorial somewhere on this forum. Use search see if you can find it. If not I will post the link for you when I'm on my pc later.

What error are you getting and you have unlocked the bootloader before and relocked it and now your trying to re-unlock it?

I have the exact same problem surely someone must have a idea?

The OP has already unlocked his bootloader, relocked it and is attempting to unlock it again via flashtool.
There is no need to get a new code from Sony the old one will do.
Here are the instruction on how to correct Flashtools folder structure so that it will work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51604352&postcount=22
For the rest of you, first of all ensure that you are unable to unlock the bootloader first by dialling
*#*#7378423#*#*
then going to service info and configuration. The last line will tell you if the bootloader is able to be unlocked or not, and if it is already unlocked.

Hi bro please help me

[U NEED TO LOOK THIS] 'Can't unlock bootloader...'

So,
Its not my problem but one of my friend is facing it and I am unable to resolve it no matter what.
He have moto g 2015 Indian variant briefly XT1550
I tried unlocking its bootloader but every time I give command, " fastboot OEM get_unlock_data "
It gives a weird error. Saying
Code:
...
(bootloader) Failed to get unlock data, Please try again!
Failed (Remote Failure)
Finished. Total time: 0.243s
I tried searching for a fix all over internet some moto x play users were facing it but no solution.
I tried almost everything. I tried minimal adb and fastboot even mfastboot.
Drivers are installed and command, "fastboot devices" reports positively.
I will be attatching a screenshot of fastboot output. So please try to help him.
These community had never let me down.

Yup. Followed everything correctly. And if OEM unlocking was deal then it clearly states that in cmd. And yes its enabled.

Sir, I am not sure but would contacting Motorola directly be of any help?

Hmm... That all looks fine. You're bootloader doesn't show Status as ENGINEERING does it? Otherwise I got nothing, it's giving you a remote failure, which is a device issue. Lenovo official forums has a specific area to ask for assistance with unlocking.

There is no harm in turning usb debugging off, turning OEM unlocking off and turning developer options off.
Then do a factory reset
Then turn developer options on agin, usb debugging on again , OEM unlocking on again and try again via fast boot
It won't cost a penny but may help to resolve the issue

just check u select correct command of ur moto id then sent it again to motorola offical page

Maybe you should read the thread again, OP can't get the code from the phone with get_unlock_data at all, not issues with the Moto site... The phone is getting the correct command, it even acknowledges its an unlock command, it just fails to get data with a "Remote failure" meaning a failure inside the device.

Yup. If that was the case then it was a very little problem and myself could have resolved it. No need to post it here.
BTW can't get unlock code till now. Isn't there any other way?
I have checked the cid value and its unlockable.
You must have known that too.

Okay. Thanks for your help.
Its kinda weird problem.
That only my poor friend encountered.

Make sure you have properly installed Motorola Drivers.
Maybe that must be causing the issue..!!

No "OEM unlock" in developer options

I'm using Huawei nova y90.
No option "oem unlock" in dev opts.
(in 'fastboot flashing unlock' gives "flashing unlock not allowed" error.)
How can I make it available in developer options ?

I've searched a lot. For this model I don't find answer why the option is unavailable. For samsung phones there is an advice to change the date, remove auto updates and possibly 'oem unlock' becames available.For my phone it doesn't work.
I ask in this general section because, there's no forums for this phone model.

Okay thanks for that., My main problem is that there is no "OEM unlock" in dev options...So I guess it's locked by default.
I found two python scripts, tried them they work with IMEI; phone enters bootloader, the first script gives error message, but the secondand starts forcing with randoms....but until dev opts is unlocked it won't work..

you know it is Qualcomm and not MediaTek SoC? Do you mean this tool? I doubt there is a Huawei signed Loader floating around for this SM6225 Snapdragon 680.
