Need help to unlock the bootloader - Sony Xperia L

I've tried to unlock the bootloader on my Sony Xperia L C2105 and I messed up...
So, first I've decided to unlock it using the official method on the Sony site instead of using the Flashtool. Everything went fine, just followed the instructions that were given there (installing the fastboot...using the cmd). After finishing I tried to power on my phone but that didn't work. It just keeps showing the colors moving from the left to the right (I think this is called a bootloop).
After searching on internet I found out that after unlocking the bootloader I have to flash a stock .ftf file for my phone. I have downloaded the Flashtool and I've tried to flash two different stock .ftf files but none of them worked.
I thought that I messed up when trying to unlock the bootloader using the method given by the Sony official site and then I decided to try unlocking again using the Flashtool (yeah I didn't know that it's easier to unlock with the Flashtool). So I press the "BLU" button, I follow the instructions and after that, a window pops out. In this window I can see the IMEI number the Unlocking Code. The problem I found here is that the shown IMEI code is different from the one given by my google account (yeah I used google to get the IMEI because I can't dial that number on my phone because I can't open it). Below the IMEI code is an unclickable button "Get Unlock Code" and below the Unlock Code is the button "Relock" which is clickable. What is strange here is that if I click Relock and close the window, the next time I use the BLU button the same window pops out but instead of "Relock" I get an "Unlock" button. After pressing Unlock the next windows will have Relock and so on...
Is there a way to edit the IMEI code because the one shown is wrong. Or is there some way to just reset the phone and fix it even if I lose data or photos or anything else?
I didn't say that I have made a backup file before trying to unlock the bootloader using something called "TA" but I can't use it because the phone is not in USB Debugging mod for some reason and I can't turn it on when the phone won't open.
Also, I don't know if this really matters but every time I open flashtool, it asks me for the user home location (C:/Flashtool) and I can't use that until I delete all of the content of the firmware folder. Thank you for helping and sorry for my weird english...

The imei number is written on the side of the phone's box
PS:You been doing it right and i think actually you've been unlocking and relocking the bootloader all the time
PS2: Why the ftf files didnt work?

Do you still have the original packaging of the phone? If yes, the IMEI is printed there usually as well. If not, I believe there should be a label on the phone as well with an IMEI identification, somewhere visible when you remove the battery. Hope this helps!

But I guess you probably can get another unlock code for your present IMEI. Sounds strange. Usually the IMEI should not be overwritten I thought, though technically of course possible.

[Q] AT&T Bootloader Unlock

Hey, I'm kind of a noob here. Where do I get fastboot.exe from? Im stuck on step 11 in the "[UNLOCK] AT&T Bootloader Unlock Through HTC-Dev" thread
you need to download the android sdk, it has it in there as stated in the htcdev unlocking instructions
Thanks, I was able to get it to work once the one click unlock tool was posted.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Stupid questions but I can't seem to find simple answers:
a) do I need to be on a specific FW version or have a specific bootloader to unlock?
b) how do I tell what version I have?
c) does/can this get rid of the "tampered" on the bootloader screen?
d) does/can this give us full S-Off?
I'm assuming you're on the HTCDEV part because if you're not using the tool and you're asking this question you're doing it wrong.
that being said, it should come in the android SDK, if it doesn't then just copy the exe file out of the tool folder that you unzipped.
Edit, I see you already got it answered.

Thanks for the info.
Another couple of dumb questions:
Will we ever be able to get rid of that "tampered" notice?
How does that notice effect me should my phone, say, fall and break its screen or have some other hardware-related failure? (I'm a klutz)
What does SuperCID mean and how does that effect me?

Maybe, who knows on the "tampered" and yea you void your warranty so if you are afraid of hardware failure then don't do it, or but insurance on it. That's what I have, if I brick it cost me 100.00 rather than 600.00.
"Waiting for device"
Every attempt and different ways always brings me to that part. I have does the oneClick supercid program and I've even gone through the HTCDEV website 6 times now. after it reboots into boot loader mode and I direct it to the folder with the 3 files in it through cmd and I get to the final step to where it says "Waiting for device" trying to get the cid codes for my phone and nothing. I am at the end of my ropes of how to unlock codes. if anyone can help me or walk me through via text or video I would be so happy. I just want this thing finally unlocked and over with.
I take it your on this step?
11. Type "dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p4MOD of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4" and hit enter. To test if it worked restart the phone into fastboot (type "adb reboot bootloader" and hit enter) and once the bootloader screen comes up type "fastboot oem readcid" and hit enter. It should read "11111111".
12. Next type "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" and hit enter. Leave that up on your screen and go to HTCdev.com. Follow the instructions from there. Choose "All other supported models" from the dropdown menu.
If so, Step 11 is kinda tricky worded after you type the command to reboot the device. Just don't even wait put the second line in "fastboot oem readcid" the batch file will wait for the phone. I hope this helps ya I had the same problem before And booted the phone back up and tried again but last time I just rebooted with the command then right after than put in the second command.

Devs will find a way to remove tampered label once we find S-OFF. After the device has been "tampered", if your phone breaks and you send it to HTC warranty, they will not replace your phone if you have flashed a custom ROM on it. How they know you've flashed a custon ROM, I'm not sure.
SuperCID is the development CID designed to work on HTC phones. It allows you to unlock your bootloader through HTCDev.com. It also allows you to flash RUUs, because RUUs check CIDs on phones to determine whether the RUU is a valid ROM for your phone. However, it has been said this is hit/miss.
Don't take my exact word for it, use GOOGLE.COM.
I waited for the one-click tools, and I'm glad I did.
Forgot to mention
my Main computer is my iMac and I have a windows 7 laptop I switch to for my flashing/rooting etc... because I am not good with terminal or adb steps after a few seizures I've had recently. So shell stuff is completely useless to me. I can follow the steps on the briefmobile website then I have the HTCDEV account. but still at a lost.. for some reason.
I never got a 1111111 or whatever message
It just went straight to "Waiting for/on device" I tried again even attempted somewhat the hex edit way. but I never saw any "CW__111" or whatever in the file that I threw into HxE I think that was the hex program I used on my laptop. To frustrated to check in other room. I even kept looking at 210 section and nothing. So I'm not sure what is going on that won't let me unlock. Maybe I'll check youtube to see if there is a video on unlocking the bootloader.

You should just use the one-click Super-CID tool in the Developers section, it's much faster and hassle free.
Thanks but that option never succeeded
I finally got it to unlock and get past that "Waiting for device issue" it seems even though I had my device plugged in and all the android and HTC drivers installed, it never registered that it could sense android 1.0 plugged in. so I had to manually right click and force it to install the drivers and it finally found device. low and behold it clicked and I got my email instantly right afterwards. So now I need how on installing CWM any ideas how to? be I am wanting to try out Team nocturnal's Rom for a little bit to see what it has to offer. Thanks for comment also by the way.

Xperia Flashtool v0.9.18.5 Messed Up My Z3

As of updating Flashtool to the latest v0.9.18.5, I'm no longer able to unlock or lock my bootloader with it. Even after uninstalling it and re-installing the previous v0.9.18.4, I'm still not able to unlock or lock my Z3's bootloader. Any idea on how I can unlock my bootloader? Because the regular fastboot method keeps failing every time I try it.
Code:
FAILED (remote: Device is already rooted)
I re-locked my bootloader so that I can perform the DRM Restore method after unlocking it again and then flashing the latest AndroPlus Kernel. But I can't even do that now.

So just to clarify on what [NUT] means, is to create a folder first that's titled with my IMEI number, place it in Flashtool\custom\mydevices\ then create a ulcode.txt file which has my bootloader unlock key in it minus the 0x portion and place it inside the folder that I created named with my IMEI number? I'm kinda confused with what he means because he mentioned to take note of the ADB device number which is completely different but the 0x number involves the bootloader unlock key.

No, the folder should be named after your device's serial code. You can find it on Settings>>About Phone>>>Status>>Serial number. That's the same code that ADB DEVICES puts out.
And you're right about the bootloader unlock key part!

Okay, thanks, will give it a try as soon as I get that Serial Number from my device. Gotta boot it up for the first time cause I just flashed it earlier.

Power of the phone. Now press power button and volume down simultaneously. It will boot to erecovery then select the first option.
You're missing a data_hw_XX.zip package for your region. Not a big deal. It happened to me when I didn't understand how to flash software to our phone and once when updating through FirmwareFinder. Give us more details regarding your phone (which region is it) and how this happened and we'll help you.

you have many options:
factory reset again (which may not solve tthe issue)
or
unlock bootloader> install twrp> install any 3rd party keyboards zip (search in the xda, you might get any)
or
try to connect your phone to pc and check if adb is working, if yes, follow the procedure:
1. download any 3rd party keyboard app and rename it as keyboard.apk and place it inside sdktools folder
2.open command window and type the following command
Code:
adb install keyboard.apk
now reboot your phone and try , you might have your keyboard
(ask me if you have any doubt regarding this procedure)
or
you can even do a complete firmware flash of update.app through dload method (easiestt of all the above methods, but you will lose all the data inside your internal storage)
I solved, i reinstalled b131 firmware and keyboard appears, i bypassed google verification and i make the updates, now it s working good, thx all.

I'm hoping someone will advise me. My Honor 8 FRD-L04 is soft bricked. I did or tried to do a factory reset, had originally TWRP, the bootloader is in Relocked status, not unlocked like I want it, I did the dload process with the only thing that would load which was the Rollback from Huawei, now I can't input information on the setup screens because all I get is the stupid Google Voice. PLEASE HELP ME.
UPDATE: Never mind I fixed it. I'm not really for sure how either but I think it mainly was just persistence.

Anyone know of a working root?

Just got a Nokia 3.1 to use a testing tool and other fun stuff, and therefore would like to root it. Does anyone of you know of a working root of the 3.1?
So this phone is a no go for root and custom roms I guess.

Why do you think so? Bootloader can be unlocked via Developer settings, and I think there is no special magic preventing this device from rooting.
I would try rooting it by flashing some SuperSU zips or something like that, but I didn't try it yet
Has anyone checked this out? I haven't purchased a Nokia 3.1 but am considering it. I went so far as to create a Nokia account and there is a bootloader unlock apk, as well as an unlock.key that can be downloaded, and there are clear instructions on the Nokia page itself.. Since I don't have the phone, I did not attempt to proceed. However, if the 3.1 qualifies (I don't see why it wouldn't) then getting root should be as easy as following Magisk instructions.
There is even a page for the open source releases.
If I were to get the 3.1, my main objective would likely be to just obtain root. Looks like it should be doable.
Edit - well over 100 views since I posted this but no one has tried to unlock and/or root. I thought that was the purpose of this thread.

That is unfortunate! Perhaps, does activating Developer Options allow to select OEM Unlocking and USB Debuging, then running the Unlocking App? To run step 5 of 5 (see NOKIA INSTRUCTIONS below) you would need to have USB Debugging enabled anyway. Nowhere in the instructions is that mentioned.
FYI - Activate Developer Options: Go to Settings>About Phone and tap Build Number 7 times. Back out to access Developer Options.
Also, I do not have this phone but am interested in it. I cannot confirm if any of the advice I am giving will work, but it is what I would try.
NOKIA INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
Firstly, we need to validate that the phone you would like to unlock is operated by you. There are a few steps to this, so we ask that you carefully follow all instructions. Let’s get started.
To participate, simply complete the following steps:
1. Please download the Nokia Bootloader Unlocker app. You can download the apk from this link and install the apk on your device. If you don’t understand how to install an apk on your device, please do not unlock the bootloader on your device. Doing so will void your phone's warranty and may cause irreparable damage.
2. Launch the Nokia Bootloader Unlocker app and fill your email information and click “Submit”.
3. The app will display a code. Please enter this in the form below along with your email address. Then press "Request to Unlock"
Your bootloader can now be unlocked. Follow the instructions below:
Step 1/5
Check the email you entered during registration. You should receive an email with a message as follows:
Hi, Thanks for requesting the unlocking bootloader. Please download your unlock key from the following link. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Download the unlock key and save it as “unlock.key”.
Step 2/5
Power off your device. Once powered off, press and hold the Volume Down button.
Step 3/5
While keeping the Volume Down button pressed, connect the device to the computer via USB cable. The device will boot into “Download mode”. If you have difficulty, try powering up normally, power off the device again and start back from Step 1.
Step 4/5
Download the following fastboot binary for your OS here.
Step 5/5
Open a command prompt:
Windows: Start > cmd
Mac: Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app
Linux: Terminal
Navigate to the directory where the previously downloaded unlock.key file is saved. Then enter the following commands:
fastboot flash unlock unlock.key
fastboot oem unlock
If successful, you should see the below message:
Unlock success!
Then reboot the device by entering the following command:
fastboot reboot
You are done!
It doesn't work either way. I tried with both those options enabled and disabled but the program always crashes. It's interesting to note that the app itself fails to install through chrome or "Files" app. Gives an error saying "Can't open app". I only managed to install it through ES File Explorer. Could it be because of I bought the phone on a Vodafone store? I can't find the original stock rom to flash, sadly.

I have been researching this and have found that, as of this writing, only the Nokia 8 qualifies for bootloader unlocking. See here. The only thing holding me back from jumping on this Nokia 3.1 is the inability to unlock the bootloader (and maybe the lack of fingerprint sensor.) Hopefully it gets "approved soon".
Currently the oem unlock using the Nokia bootloader unlock only works for Nokia 8
is there a way to root the 3.1 yet successfully? im a noob at this stuff and don't want to screw my phone.

No, not until Nokia decides to allow users to unlock bootloader.
What about the 3.1 plus. I've already unlocked OEM. I just started looking, thought I'd start here first.

It doesn't matter if you have enabled "OEM unlocking" option in Developer settings, currently Nokia doesn't allow unlocking of bootloader and thus rooting device, unless you are Nokia 8 user. You can try this, but it will crash almost for sure.
As far as I can tell, my bootloader is unlocked. I am a noob of course, but I have been researching this topic for a couple of months now. I could be mistaken in thinking "upload" mode is it, but I can't seem to figure out the difference. Otherwise, I don't know what to do next.

To get to "Upload" mode? Assuming it's the same for the 3.1 Plus-maybe I should have specified that-holding power button and volume up during startup will open "Upload" mode.
You can also use adb with the command "reboot bootloader." For that reason, I think it's the bootloader, but I could be wrong.
Sorry if I was a bit misleading and it is totally different on the Nokia 3.1, I was just some kinda hopeful to actually see people talk about it.

I'm not bringing any sizable programming skills to the table unless somebody wants to teach me real fast.
Hopefully, I bring tidings of great joy. So I got two these Nokia's and they're both locked. to the carrier, Cricket. I suspect they are at least unlawfully locked. . My understanding is you can't lock to used phone especially if it's been sold as a prepaid phone. I believe this falls under the reseller flex policy. I bought it off of eBay from a guy that sells nothing but phones and he's been extremely cagey about what he'll admit to, so I called the carrier. I literally waited an hour and a half on the phone because I am falling asleep and I was on a computer speaker phone so it kept on the time of the call. I only held that long because I had fallen asleep. Anyway since I'm not in a cricket or AT&T customer then don't plan to eitherbe they could care less about me it actually told me they didn't have any information on the phone after I gave them the IMEI number.
My guess is the fcc's not going to do much because it's a trump Administration. So I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with Nokia and well at least they're interesting I think Microsoft paid between 7 and 12 billion to acquire them I recently sold them off for like a box of jujyfruits. Anyway they're committed to customer service so I figure my predicament might give me an in there.
So those unlock codes that it was a link earlier in the post for that's just to unlock the bootloader, right? You know this is a pretty decent phone for a low-end guy I got the newer 3.1 C it's got Cricket's bootloader in bloatware on it,
takes up a ton of space.
I mean it probably won't happen but if Nokia ever goes public again - I think the acquiring companies. Their eye on the prize and they're going to kick some ass. So I'm all in on this let's get this done. If you want I can see what I can do about asking Nokia 4 whatever it's going to take just to keep me a satisfied customer since they know Cricket/ATT isn't following the Obama regs.
Oof... It would be beautiful if Nokia customer support could guide us onto rooting this phone.
its so simple to unlock oem on nokia 3.1 plus. no third app needed. after developer option on -> go to developer option setting -> there is toggle button to on/off developer option , just use that toggle to off it and on it -> press yes for on dev options -> and select oem unlock. that all
It is pretty straightforward once you have unlocked bootloader (not by Nokia). If you want, you can simply dump boot_a or boot_b with SPflash tool, patch in Magisk app, and reflash.
Otherwise you can use my TWRP (NO TOUCH, and has disabled dm-verity). Please note it's only working on build v3.180, updates not supported - as it was only needed for my project.

Question Flash stock firmware and lock bootloader

HHello, I wanted to consult something before getting into a problem. I have the moto g100 with the challenge channel, since the Android 12 ota did not come out for this channel, I decided to install the Android 12 retail ota, Everything worked correctly, but now I want to install my original firmware which is RETAR and block the bootloader, so my question is the following, can I flash my original firmware and lock the bootloader?.
Yes if you flash ORGINAL ROM (Android Version) for your device you can LOCK bootloader for your device.
Lock the bootloader at your own risk, this forum has a thread full of people who have bricked their device after relocking.
Phone wouldn't boot into the system after bootloader locking back...
I wanted to help someone whose phone wouldn't boot into the system after bootloader locking back, phone hangs on a red warning. And in the process of experimenting myself got confused and got into the same situation. Unlocking the bootloader...

The stock roms found on lolinet won't boot after relocking and you'll loose the ability to flash anything else. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Also, you can't downgrade the bootloader. What this means is that if you flash older Android 11 stock image it may result in bootloop.
I have a G8 doha that was hard bricked a few years ago.. It did not show up in device manger at all, no matter how i tried. Not even the Qualcomm mode. This did happen after locking bootloader or change slot A/B. (Don't remember, sorry). The phone was totally dead, so it was just "archieved for later use".. Then one month ago i found a description on how to wake it up to qualcomm mode by shorting two points on pcb. I tried, and it did work. Phone showed up in device manager, and i flashed blankflash. After that i flashed stock rom. Phone is now working again. I had to do several tries to get it up running. The description on how to do it was not accurate, but i found a sequence to start it. Unfortunately i don't remember exactly. It is something with pushing/holding a button when connecting USB or shorting points on pcb.. Youtube link show how to do it..

Yes I relock my bootloader on the Moto g100 the North American version. Right after I did it I tried to set up my phone and it wanted my last four digit Google pin code and if you didn't do it fast enough it kept rebooting so for a half hour I tried everything under the sun Google kept asking me I want to try another way. But I have two step verification on my Google account so it couldn't send me the code over my telephone number so after a couple tries using the recover my account option underneath which asked you like personal information like your name and everything it finally gave me three options of three different Google emails I have. I got my unlock code and unlock the bootloader without using a PC or a computer. I used bugjaeger. The premium app is well worth the $10 it works super easy and super efficient
