Yes, you can, root is easy when you unlock bootloader.
To unlock bootloader go here: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com
When you unlock bootloader search this forum for root tutorial.

imy phobe saya I can't do it. says no in service nenu

Vey common question

Ok I know this a very common question and it may be annoying for some users but I'll be short
Is there a way to unlock Bootloader with Bootloader Unlocked Allowed: No?
I thought that instead of collecting info for other sites it can be better to ask here
Also, my Tipo is new security, 13w06
Please tell me there's a way :crying::crying::crying:

Yes ... You can unlock your Tipo's Bootloader easily by following the official instructions given by Sony Corporation itself ... So, head over here and follow the steps carefully ... :fingers-crossed:

In your device, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked :crying::crying:

Well ... if you look here in the List of Supported Devices ... Both Tipo and Tipo Dual is supported. So, i'd recommend you just go about with the steps and try to unlock ...

Sorry but Sony steps say clearly that if I have "Bootloader Unlocked Allowed: No" you can't continue... It doesn't bother me to try, but my Tipo can get bricked, and that's not funny

[Q] Hello!

Hi! I'm new to the xda forums, i'm kinda noob and i have some questions. I would really apriciate if you guys could answer them .
I own a Sony Xperia J(awesome phone for it's price) locked on a mobile network. So my questions are:
1. If i unblock my phone from the network, will i be able to unlock the Bootloader? ( now it says "Bootloader unlock allowed: No")
2. If the answer the the question 1. is no, can i possibly unlock my bootloader using another way?
3. Is it possible to flash mods (not roms), ports, on rooted official 4.1.2 rom?
These are my questions. Thank you!

Probably nothing will work because u won't be able to unlock bootloader even if u break network lock..(from my knowledge)
Both are different..and you can flash mods...it's kinda risky.. U do something wrong,you will have to flash your phone...losing all Data
Installing mods can be done with an app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2422313
But there are heavy risks buddy...u r playing with fire
Thank me if I helped you

thanks !
Thank you, even though i am kinda sad..but meh!
I tried the app but after i reboot nothing changes...maybe i did something wrong...

I haven't tried it...
Thank me if I helped

There is a very easy way to unlock bootloader without having to do all those things in Sony the only requirement is a rooted phone, Download the app EZ-unlock it is a ONE-CLICK bootloader unlock app which you can unlock and relock
The app will request Superuser or SuperSU permissions so grant it that

Bootloader

How check if my bootloader is locked
Please advise

It will be locked unless you unlocked it.
However, dial *#*#7378423#*#* and goto service info, configuration.
The last line will tell you the status of the bootloader.

Have you tried doing it yet, the instructions are quite obvious if you try it.

I found mine say Bootloader unlocked allowed: yes… --does it mean that I have already an unlocked bootloader?

No, it means you are allowed to unlock it.
If it was unlocked it would say
Bootloader unlocked: yes
Please remember it is impossible to unlock the bootloader by mistake, you have to go through several steps (17 steps from the Sony instructions if I remember correctly)
So unless you have done that it will be locked, no device is shipped with an unlocked bootloader

Hi,
-First you can't change it to yes
-Second You can't root your device for the time being cause you need an unlocked bootloader
-Third there's no way to unlock a bootloader unless you have "Unlocked allow yes"
-Fourth be polite next time and say at minimum "Hello" please

Assalam o alaikum!
I've found a software on YouTube to change bootloader status no to yes

I don't think so, we're talking about bootloader so it can f*cked up anytime I think it would be better to don't play with it if we're not sure.
This is just an advice, do what you want to do after that, I'm just giving my thought no need to follow it if you don't want to

What is the logic behind this?
I mean some devices are unlockable and some are not!
What this actually mean?

Well! Can i install custom recovery on locked bootloader?

Nope, you need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash anything.

So it simply means i can't flash any recovery,rom or root my device

That pretty much mean you can't do anything right now sorry bro

It means I've to sale out my device
And buy other brand like LG or HTC

Or exchange it against another unlockable one ?
I don't know, do as you like, sorry for you, just bad luck

I've found a video tutorial on YouTube with a link to download software to unlock the bootloader of devices those shows the status "Bootloader unlock allow:No"
Here is the video link

Beware a lot of fake videos are running through the Internet, I warn you, but as I said before do as you like.
If I were you I would not play with bootloader, either I change phone, or I wait for a locked bootloader tuto.

Did you try this? I found this video a while ago, decided not to try it

Why not to try it?

Okay now i decided to not to play with my z5 and change my device

Wise choice, still sorry for you mate

Thanks but this is definitely my last device from sony

This ain't Sony who's responsible, this is your provider.
I'm French I have a Z5 (no prenium no compact)
From Bouygues Télécom, and it ain't locked I'm actually rooted running a custom Rom everything is fine.
This is between you and your luck, you and your provider
