Unlock bootloader - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been searching the forum and I cant seem to find a definitive answer to my question
I've an xperia z5 and it says root status : unlock bootloader no
I got the unlock code from sony but, I'm thinking the carrier has also put an extra lock on the phone
Ive tried using fastboot and unlocking it with the code but I get
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
Is there any way to unlock the boot loader on this device
and if not is it possible to flash it with a rom without using the bootloader/sdcard method and installing the rom from a pc/usb
Im guessing no
fastboot flash recovery sony-recovery-z5.img
sending 'recovery' (31976 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.432s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.450s
any help would be greatful, Thanks

Bootloader is perma-locked. There is no way to unlock the bootloader.

You can check it by typing *#*#7378423#*#* in dialer (*#*#SERVICE#*#*) hit Service info > configuration > rooting status: bootloader unlock allowed: "yes"= unlock allowed,
"no"= not possible,
"unlocked"= already unlocked.

Yea thanks langeveld024, I already checked and I was looking for a solution to unlocking a perma-locked bootloader
rooting status: bootloader unlock allowed: "no"
f**ing mobile carriers , I doubt they will let you unlock it if you asked, They would just refer you to sony and then sony would tell you to go to vodaphone
To be fair its not sonys doing , its the carriers that put the extra lock on it, sony leave it so its able to be locked or unlocked
Ill just have to wait until someone comes up with a hack/exploit

[Q][LB][D2306][.182] Unlockable bootloader : No

Dear all senior members,
Can I seek a kind attention?
My M2 (D2306) has no permission to unlock the boot loader. I've the unlock code via email. But, it says "command not allowed" when I tried fastboot via cmd. Even flashtool failed to unlock it.
What can I do to unlock it??? I'm using .182 build version.

Hi, if you have "Bootloader unlock allowed: no" in the Service Menu then you can't unlock it.
There is nothing you can do to change it from NO to yes where it says bootloader unlock allowed NO, the only way to change this is to change the device for one that says bootloader unlock allowed yes

I ran into a rare situation on an old Xperia tablet that said the same thing but had twrp installed. But with your situation u could be looking at a paper weight if u try to flash anything. It's hard to say though. Usually bootloader unlock: no means don't flash or u get brick. Does it say bootloader unlock or unlocked? You also have to realize that just because u get a key doesn't mean u can unlock. An imei doesn't mean much except verify it's a Sony phone

FRP LOCK in Bootloop there is a solution?

brick my Huawei p20 now with frp locked already tried the command "C: \ Users \ ANDRE> fastboot oem frp-unlock Q9QG9UMJ6P1WR5JL"
...
(bootloader) The device will reboot and do factory reset ...
OKAY [4.446s]
finished. total time: 4.452s "
Ps* Q9QG9UMJ6P1WR5JL is code for unlock my frp
The cell phone restarts, it resets the error and when I enter fastboot again the FRP appears again, is there any solution to this?
Hope I can help you. Please try the following steps and let us know if it works for you:
1. In fastboot, use command "fastboot oem relock Q9QG9UMJ6P1WR5JL". It should do a factory reset and bring you back to stock ROM
2. After booting into stock ROM, activate developer options
3. In developer options, activate OEM unlocking option (i.e. enable OEM unlock)
4. Reboot the phone into fastboot mode and use the command "fastboot oem unlock Q9QG9UMJ6P1WR5JL". to unlock the bootloader. The lock statuses should be changed to:
Phone: unlocked
FRP: unlocked
6. Factory reset and reboot and you should be good.

Thank you very much for your attention.
Come on: Code Q9QG9UMJ6P1WR5JL is FRP unlocking. To unlock Bootloader the code is T1JR94CJQLNOWMIA
"C:\Users\ANDRE>fastboot oem relock T1JR94CJQLNOWMIA
...
FAILED (remote: stat not match)
finished. total time: 0.007s"
"C:\Users\ANDRE>fastboot oem unlock T1JR94CJQLNOWMIA
...
(bootloader) Necessary to unlock FRP!
(bootloader) Navigate to Developer options, and enable "OEM unlock"!
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.022s"
Unfortunately the phone this brick, does not start the system only in fastboot and erecovery (which does not work) so I understood I need to unblock the frp to be able to perform the other task to revive my phone but when I run the "fastboot oem frp-unlock Q9QG9UMJ6P1WR5JL" everything that I have already reported in the first topic

P20 Pro is bricked as well... (Need help)
I was driving in the car using google maps when all of a sudden my phone started to reboot, and got stuck in a boot loop... I haven't rooted or installed any ROMs on this device at all so I have no idea what triggered it to reboot or even get stuck in boot loop. I have it connected to my computer and have the "FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE" screen pulled up and I can talk to it through ADB, but I have no idea where to go from here, I've been trying to follow many different threads but I cant seem to find a solution that works for me... Anyone please help!
On the "FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE" screen it's displaying "Phone Locked" and "FRP Lock" I haven't found any tutorials on how to bypass the FRP lock for this device (While being stuck in a bootloop).
So far I've used fastboot commands

HMD releases source code for nokia 5.1 plus

As HMD releases the source code of nokia 5.1 plus/x5, now the community can work on the development of nokia mobile.
https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_int/opensource/
We still have the waiting game to see if they will let us unlock the bootloader. I don't see why they would release that if they have no plans to allow unlocked bootloaders. If anyone knows of any way we can help to get it done quicker, it would be good to know. Like a petition to unlock bootloader.

In my country ,china, a person who name is HCT_Mascot_洛克人EFI in weibo say he has already unlocked the bootloader and in the taobao which same as ebay you can unlock it by 30rmb. I don't know how they make it why they don't release it.
Yes I heard you can pay $5 to get bootloader unlocked but I haven't seen anyone with the bootloader unlocked yet so don't know if it's true. I don't think we should have to pay anything. They should share how they are doing it so we can all do it for free.

You can unlock the bootloader using this site officialy by nokia....not tested but it's official nokia website

That is only for Nokia 8. I tried when I first got the phone app just crashes.
you can unlock x5 (5.1 plus) bootloader by putting your phone in fastboot/bootloader mode and typing "fastboot flashing unlock" in cmd (you need to connect your phone to a pc with adb and adb drivers)

Show some proof that you have unlocked bootloader ?
Well, I sold my X5 and now I am using a Oneplus 3t
If you are on pie, first enable the developer options, then access the developer options menu, switch the developer options off, then back on, you can slide the OEM unlocking switch to on and confirm it with password/figure. After that switch the ADB on, connect the phone to computer via usb and "sudo adb reboot bootloader" ...
sudo fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability
...
(bootloader) unlock_ability = 16777216

Huawei phone:locked bootloader

I'm trying to flash a custom Android ROM on my Huawei Y6 2018 but when i'm in fastboot mode it says:
Phone: locked
FRP: unlock
I want to know how to unlock phone because when i try to install the ROM using
fastboot flash system "system_img_name".img
it says
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
AFAIK Huawei decided in 2018 to generally deny unlocking their devices' bootloader. Recently, they also have stopped providing bootloader unlock code to any Huawei device.

In addition of the upper response, I wanted to add that some websites pretend to be able to root/unlock your Huawei device for money. They're mostly scams so please do not go there (for your sake)
And actually there are ways (very specific tho, and patched) to brute force the bootloader unlock, but the chances that it works are slim to none. (In fact I precise that because I'm sure some will come and say "No Ur. Wrong I saw that dude do it")
Have a nice day
Nevermind I just gave up trying, I unlocked everything, even bootloader and frp, but when I go installing the .img with TWRP it does not reboot after install succeed. I gave up, thanks anyway
