What exactly is this? Does this make it easier to flash custom ROMs? I wouldn't mind having a new kernel that increased the volume of the speakers...

Yeah I've read that but the XZs and XZ premium are still
not in the unlock bootloader list. So i can't unlock bootloader

You've been able to unlock from the start.
Just select XZ, same with XZS.

So I'm pretty confused there is a lot of information out there and it's conflicting one another in my view. I want to achieve root on my stock rom and possibly be able to flash custom roms. My situation is I have the Sony Xperia E3 D2206 model with stock android 4.4.2 and when I punch in the code it says that my bootloader is not unlockable. I have installed flashtool and drivers and tried the "BLU" button and it says it cannot unlock my bootloader.
From my understanding I can still somehow root this phone, can somebody point me to which guide I should follow for my phone?
Thank you.
Can someone weigh in, I'm sitting here a long time with my phone in hand.

Yes it worked my non-unlockable bootloader device is rooted.
I'm going to buy a used Xperia Z5. To confirm, can ALL VERSIONS be rooted and have a custom recovery (such as TWRP) installed on them? It would be E6653 but not sure which country it is made in or designed for.
before buying just check for bootloader status by typing in the dialer app
*#*#service#*#* > Service info> Configuration
In this section it should be like this under
Rooting Status:
Booloader unlock allowed : yes
if its like that then you are good to go.

so there's no way to root if it doesn't allow unlocking the bootloader?

Hi,
I'm currently in a little mess. I was under ExistenZ and I want to try the latest 7.1.1 Nougat. So I relock my bootloader in order to flash the .223 via Flashtool.
When I'm trying to download the firmware via XperiFirm, I click on "Chek all" and I have always "N/A" instead of see the firmware number :/
I'm under Linux Mint 18.
Any hint to bypass this problem ?
Thanks in advance

I would try reinstalling Flashtool first and see if that helps.
Why did you relock your bootloader though? I don't think this is a required step.

I reinstall multiple times, also try the XperiFirm Windows version using mono ! Same issues :/
I relock it because I want to try the pure stock experience once a time

Well then I don't know how to fix that problem.
If you want though...
I have uploaded 6.0.1 / 7..0 and 7.1.1 Firmwares for both Xperia XZ and Xperia XZ Dual to my google drive.
If you wish to use it here is the link to the folder: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1-5Lr_Sntl5bzU2eEZCaFA3azg
I don't remember exactly from which countries the firmwares I downloaded and uploaded there are.
Most are either Dutch or Customized Germany firmwares.
Otherwise if you want a different specific firmware, you'll have to figure out a way to download it yourself

No problem.
You can still change language yes.
And you can still get OTA updates (when bootloader is relocked)

By the way did you have any problems relocking the bootloader? Did you restore TA backup first or what was your process.
I'm interested to know

This is not the first time I relock the BL. I wrote a guide, look my signature and this is the last step

Okay I've just read the last step and it seems clear to me. Just pushing back TA backup to phone using ADB automatically relocks bootloader. Didn't know that yet
Thanks.. didn't read that part very well yet, although I did use your guide to get rooted when I just bought my XZ a few months ago :good:

Xpericheck.com also put links to ftf of some variants, so this can e used as a substitute for not working xperifirm. The country variants doesn't differ much - mostly by the number of preloaded apps (some have facebook/spotify/avg installed as system apps) and by type of icons shown (nfc icon, lte vs. 4g icon, in NOBA you have icon indicating 2g/3g/4g even while roaming).
Hi there
I want to unlock my bootloader and I tried through sony's website but I could not succeed.
How can I unlock it without sony's guiding website and installing Android Studio.
Any help plz?
Hello Billabomb75
First check if you can unlock your bootloader by entering *#*#7378423#*#* in the Phone app.
Then click service info and then click on configuration.
Under rooting status it should say bootloader unlock allowed to unlock the bootloader.
If it says bootloader unlock not allowed you cannot unlock your bootloader.

If you would like to backup your TA partition for warranty then check this forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598.
The first thing to do to unlock your bootloader is to go to this https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ website and choose your device, then after clicking continue you will need to enter your email for a confirmation email and tick agree to terms and conditions and click submit.
After opening the link in the confirmation email it will ask for IMEI which you should enter in and tick the two agree to terms and conditions and click submit.
Now check your email again it should have the unlock code for your device.
Finally launch flashtool and click on unlock icon, then connect device in fastboot mode( if connected then disconnect phone from PC, power off device, while pressing volume up button connect your phone to your PC), now it should ask you for your unlock code which you can copy and paste from the email Sony sent you and then click unlock.
This should unlock your bootloader.

But that is only for the H8216 (single sim) and H8296 (dualsim) 6GB - there is no build for H8266 (dualsim) yet xD
This wouldn't need a drm fix?
This also switches the Rom from xperia to pure AOSP?
Without the special features of the XZ working?
Not yet working for my best buy bought h8266. Says phone not supported.
My Xperia H8266 is also not supported...yet or never?

The disclaimer in developer site says branded phones aren't supported. But can't you just flash another region's ftf to debrand yours? Does xflasher support XZ2?
