I didn't even know this was an option! I'm coming from an Xperia Z3 and that sort of security wasn't included.. so it must have been a thing with the more recent devices.
Thank you, I didnt know the solution was so simple (I feel so nooby) :silly:
No problem....
Can't get into FASTBOOT
I can't get my Xperia XZ into FASTBOOT! I've tried holding the volume down and power, holding the volume up and power. ADB can issue adb reboot bootloader, but it doesn't reboot. I've also tried the powered off with volume button and plugging into USB.
Windows 10 64bit. Android 7.0

Do you get any response from fastboot devices. Did you replace the google usb driver in the guide, I had nightmare getting mine to get detected and issuing command
I've tried the Google and the Sony USB driver. I show S1boot with an exclamation mark beside it in Device Manager when it's in "fastboot"

I did a search for the USB driver and removed any instance of it so it did not auto install when the phone was plugged in. I diabled the driver signature on boot check so that I could deffo install the sony driver as it said had invalid checksum. Once installed I then was able to proceed with the unlock. Check your driverstore for any android drivers as these will be auto installed and I have to remove them also

you need to follow the instructions in the "Unlock the boot loader" page after receiving email from Sony Developer World Mobile. By following it you'll download an .inf file and replace an Android studio sdk file with it.
To get your device to show up in fastboot, hold volume down when you insert your USB in your device. Type fastboot device and you should get an answer whit a bunch of number.

here is official unlock guide just follow the steps on this site you have to "guess" about unlock-button
step 12
On your phone, push and hold the unlock button* at the same time as you connect the phone to the computer with a USB-cable. The unlock button may differ between different phone models. See the note in the bottom of this page for more information on what button use on your phone.

most important thing :
keep that button pressed while connecting your phone to computer with a USB-cable then you see how windows is searching for drivers..
step 15 is most relevant to check you pressed the right button
Enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version, and verify that you get a response back (for example "0.3"). This means your phone is connected properly.

you can be sure about that button when you get response in step 15
Enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version, and verify that you get a response back (for example "0.3"). This means your phone is connected properly.
if not something is wrong with your Android SDK /Sony drivers installation
when you connect your phone to pc check if you have ADB Interface in Dev Manager
another solution is to request help from Sony not all models are unlockable ..
did you check it by step 2 on that online guide ?
...can be power button did you check it ? also do not forget : keep it pressed ! don't release that button until you see some change on PC: Windows should search drivers if not try another computer what if something is wrong with drivers ? can you sync phone with PC Companion ?

I'm using archlinux 64 bit with latest kernel installed
I thing the problem is not with the driver, because I develop android programs with eclipse and run it in my xperia u correctly, without any probem
and also the results from adb is currect for example the adb devices shows:
Code:
/adb devices
List of devices attached
BX902X17GJ device
but the fastboot shows:
Code:
./fastboot -i 0x0fce getvar version
< waiting for device >
and it waits until I press C-c
I press and hold the power button from the beginning of powering on to loading the android
nothing happens at ALL!!

did you check in step2 if your device is unlockable ?
to develop/run apps is one thing to unlock bootloader is something different I think you don't have installed drivers for bootloader interface or your access to bootloader is locked -you can't unlock this model
also I'm worried about that x64 Linux machine...
my advice is : don't lose time and request help from Sony

You should install drivers 2 times..
Once when it is booted..
And again when it is in fastboot mode..
Since mode changes, your pc recognizes your device as new one.
So install drivers again after connecting in fastboot mode..

You have to install the drivers manually. You can do this by downloading the drivers in the SDK manager and installing them in the device manager.
This might help you solve the problem...

This may be just me but its a good plan to make sure your pc can see your device when developer Mode is enabled before you go into fastboot this will make sure all the drivers are in order, Not sure if this makes a difference but i also make sure when enabling Developer mode that MTP and Camera Are both unchecked as it can mix up the drivers on my system anyway
I have a Sony Xperia Z3 model D6653 with Android 4.4.4 build 23.0.1.A.1.49, I tried to unlock the boot loader at the Sony website, It went al right till the part when I need to run cmd at the platform-tools folder (from sdk bundle), when I write "fastboot devices" the cmd don't respond me with anything, it just appears another line to enter a command again
- Installed the Google USB Driver, Android 4.4W.2 and Android 4.4.2 SDKs (don't know why there is not for 4.4.4)
- USB Debugging Mode: ON
- Fastboot mode (blue led at the phone corner) successful
I think that this normally happens when the PC dont detect the device
I'm stuck at this phase, please someone help me, thanks!

xda didn't allow me for posting a photo url so I put it separated
Use the minimal adb and fastboot set up, that's a lot easier

If nothing here works, get the flashtool drivers for the z3. Works like a charm. Also, you should probably TA backup, if you haven't already.
I think it didn't worked for me,the thing is that I need to unlock bootloader to put root in the device

You can root without unlocking.
Search XDA.
Hi
My phone is international NXT-L29
I was on Ephemeral B180 rom but i decided to upgrade it to get emui 4.1
I flashed back stock b180 rom, and after I flashed stock b321 rom
ROM works great but i would like to get root and twrp back again, but everytime I try to go through fastboot i get this screen on picture.
I logged into my dc unlocker again and followed the procedures (manufacture mode, unlocking,...) and dc unloccker tool informs that the phone was unlocked...but no, when I do adb reboot bootloader i still get the same message on the picture.
I saw other suggestions here on XDA, i confirm oem unlock is activated on developer options...i made factory reset and then "vol+- power" (with or without phone connected to PC) but i dont't get any option to unlock bootloader. I always arrive to a menu saying that the phone is looking for upgrade and tries until 5% is reached... (if I keep waiting it does not fisplat error message, only waits and waits and after a while it reboots normally (i don't have any dload folder either on phone or sd card)
Any suggestion to solve this is highly appreciated
many thanks

I retrived my code from DC Unlocker (it has an option to read bootload code) but the problem is thar when I get de Fastboot&Rescue Mode the phone does not react to any command i can type on PC
Can I replace the stock boot.img that comes inside the UPDATE.APP file byone decrypted boot image of same rom?
If that would be possible then flashing this "modified" UPDATE.APP would solve the problem?
Many Thanks

I don't see any kedacom usb device folder...
Check if the device isnfound by the computer. Restart in fastboot mode then on your computer type "fastboot devices" you should get a device and its serial. If you're not getting anything its a driver issue.

I did not try the command fastboot devices, but as per the new picture attached when I run adb devices the computer finds my phone
the problem is, then, when next i run 'adb reboot bootloader'...the device goes into fastboot&rescue mode and the device is not recognized by computer anymore

Open control panel when your phone is in this state (it's fastboot mode) and you should see the folder I talked about.
It seems drivers issue, i hate windows 10
Try different usb port,and try to remove the drivers and install them again.
Make sure no usb device connected to any other ports.

Have the the same problem, but didn't find the solution. Try different laptops and different cables. Windows can't recognise my Mate 8 L29 after B320 update cause of the wrong descriptor.

Hi,
First of all the bootloader is already unlocked.
Two problems:
1. - I was trying to flash twrp.img on my mobile but I am not getting that green android to show up in my screen all I get a black screen with blue led light, I usually power off the mobile, hold volume up and then connect the USB cable to my mobile.
2. - Can't find mobile device while using flash or fastboot, my mobile Developer option and USB debugging are turn on, mobile drivers and adb-setup-1.4.3 are installed, I have access to my mobile on my PC , when I do the process of flashing or fastboot I turn off the mobile and I unplug USB cable from my mobile, I press the keys to do flash or fastboot (I don't see no green android just a led light turn on) and connect the USB cable, problem is my PC can't find the mobile device, I use adb function eg. adb devices or fastboot devices I get nothing no device no info.
Is this problem with Win 10?
Was my problem understood in 2. - ?

Most likely a drivers problem, Windows10 fails to tell you that it's not installed the drivers that you pressed the install button on. It also fails to assign the right drivers when you add the phone in flashmode/fatsboot.
You will need to add them manually.
Go into safe mode and use 'driver signing disabled', try adding the drivers again. Then plug in you phone in flashmode/fastboot, then look in the device manager for the phone and change it
Several people have reported success with Zdiag drivers
