[Q] Need help about my bootloader

I bought Xperia J from a network and I cant unlock my bootloader and I cant access Fastboot (Bootloader unlock allowed:No), is there any way to flash ftf file that contains only kernel and not the stock one? (So I can install CM and all other custom roms)? Please help

So sad.. But I dont give up that quickly... I see youre from Serbia, I am also, but from Belgrade.. Is there anything I could do to unlock it, because I bought it from VIP and my last phone was from Telenor and I could unlock it...

Please create an backup of your Rom using CWM and then you can try to update/flash your phone.. If your phone is locked again, put your backup back in and search for an patch for multilanguage with arabic support..

NO, the phone will NEVER be locked again
SIM LOCK is more like a hardware based security, not software.
you can flash stock safe

after you unlock the sim, you have to flash custom recovery and then root
then you can flash custom rom through recovery
BTW, its possible the phone can be lock again only if he unlocked the sim via root exploit
if he used an IMEI calculator, yes it is ok

when i got back my phone .. it was not rooted .. so we didn't unlock the sim network using root exploit ? right ?

at this point, your phone is not unlocked via root exploit
so you can do whatever you want, it will not lock
and the unlock being part of hardware, it will never lock back unless you want it to happen

he flashed stock rom as the method of calculating the unlock code based on imei is valid for this phone on 2,3,6
he could do this on kk risking to not work and losing the money
maybe he thinks the code resets the bootloader which happens on devices such as htc
but i have here a clear example:
if you use the yellow triangle away app from chainfire and you flash another rom, does the yellow triangle appears again?
i guess you know what is triangle away, search it on google if you dont
and the triangle thing is a hardware code, so is the sim lock
Hope i helped you!

hello everyone i bought s6 from a friend and my ee sim never worked after 2 days he gave me the phone and said its unlocked my question is if i flash a notmal stock rom will i loose unlock is it possible to upgrade s6 software while its rooted thanks

forgot to mention when i had the phone it had no su installed meaning it was not rooted after getting the phone unlocked i saw su on and checked for root and it was rooted so if i flash stock rom will i loose unlock amd would it be possible to upgrade the phone to new firmware when it comes out while rooted

Where did you unlock it ? If su is there he unlocked via z3x or octoplus... Its permanent... Youre free to flash anything you wont lose unlock

i didnt unlock it so not sure and yes su is on it thank you very much

will i be able to update if new firmware comes out

Nope. Because it's modified system.. Flash stock

ATT sim lock problem

Actually have ATT A9(CID is BS-US001) with unlocked bootloader , root and s-off. after flashing unlocked ROM 1.57.617.52 still ask me for unlock code when i insert anouther sim. with ATT sim work properly. never see that before. Need your ideas. in getprop [gsm.network.type]: [Unknown]. so may be need to cnange gsm.version.baseband????
Thank in advise!

You have to get an unlock code from AT&T and unlock it yourself. Flashing a rom isn't going to sim unlock your phone.

There's no rom that unlocks your phone. Call att and request an unlock code.

i have an unlock code but...... the phone not accepted it. may be need brick it totally and then flash it. i am s-off.

Ahhh I thought you were trying to unlock the phone by flashing a rom lol. All you need to do is go back to any stock rom you want and then put the non ATT Sim in, use the unlock code, and then flash whatever other rom you want

Wasn't sure if it's possible to unlock the bootloader while still being Sim locked. Thanks for letting me know, guess I'll wait till we find a way to sim unlock before doing the bootloader.

Once you pay off the phone. It can then be sim unlocked. The other way is to pay someone to sim unlock the phone.
