Just as the title says...
I have Xperia Z5 SOV32
It has Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO, but somehow I can go into fastboot mode
Some people said that they cannot get into fastboot mode since they can't unlock their bootloader
If I continued to flash a stock (or a region customized stock) FTF, will it brick the device?
Thanks!
No, its normal. You can always boot into fastboot, even if you cant unlock it. Stock rom is always flashed over flashmode so you can flash whatever you want
Thanks, just to make sure first before doing anything to it, and indeed it works flawlessly

LOCKING BOOT LOADER
You need ADB so follow these steps.
To lock your boot loader you definitely need to have a proper connection between your device and computer.
To re lock your boot loader you need to:
1. Turn off your device
2. Hold your volume down button and press the power button. (KEEP HOLDING YOUR VOLUME DOWN BUTTON) You will see a white screen with fastboot written on it.
3. Navigate with your volume up or down to fastboot and press the power button to select it.
4. Connect your device with your computer,
5. Open the terminal in your computer and type in 'adb devices',
6. Type in 'fastboot oem lock' without quotes and your device is locked again, you will see relocked.
but i don't know the status of my bootloader.. if i have bootloader unlocked, i can re-use the zip to back to stock, that it includes relock bootloader
and if i have bootloader locked, i will unlock it
how i can know if it is unlocked or locked? thanks!

You could try flashing a custom recovery to it. If it works, then your bootloader is unlocked.

Only try to flash a custom recovery. If it works, you have unlocked bootloader.
Remember that locking back your bootloader can brick your tablet, and that locked bootloader is not needed for the updates.
I unlocked twice my unlocked bootloader and notting happened, it said "it's already unlocked" or something similar, but do at your own risk.
i dont flash a recovery yet but.. i can enter to android system recovery <3e>
does this mean that i have bootloader unlocked?
thanks!
EDIT. i flash twp2 and it works.. so i hadn't have my bootloader locked..
sure, i'm gonna flash ICS.. no more JB now
Sony Xperia Z5 premium. I had an unlocked bootloader and custom ROM. I was going to resell the phone, so I used flashtool to re-lock the bootloader and flashed a stock ROM. E6853, flashed correct model specific .ftf file. So...now I have a working stock phone. I do not have access to the bootloader, or recovery. When i adb reboot bootloader, it goes to a black screen with a blue LED. If I volume down when plugging in USB, it does the same thing. I am not rooted, so I can't flash from within the OS. I think I relocked the bootloader successfully, but can't unlock it now, because I can't access the fastboot. Does anyone have any ideas?
Z5 Premium 5.1.1 firmware .200
Whenever I try unlock bootloader bug out FAILED (remote: Command did not allowed).
I have Bootloader unlock allowed.
I tried in CMD - Fastboot and Flashtoo and out this same problem.
When I tried twice unlock bootloader I get OKAY and I try turn on my phone, I walk in bootloop.
Where is problem?
Hi! So actually you did unlocked your bootloader (as i understand), and when you turn on your device after the unlock you go into bootloop. This is something normal. You need to flash the stock .ftf with flashtool (i recommend you to use old versions like 0.9.11.0). Have a look here:

What firmware version did you flashed. I have flashed firmware for c2104 and i got this bootloop. Make sure you flash the propper firmware verison for your device.

When I tried it, in Service Menu I have "Rooting status: Unkown".
I have bad code in Bootloader unlock Wizard and I can't change it, field is inactive.
I have firmware C2104, I don't have any branding.

So, in the end, I decided to flash the customized E6653 NOBA ROM for my Z5
Later, I was thinking... if I can go to the Flashmode & Fastboot mode, can I continue to unlock the bootloader, even though it says No?
Because to my knowledge, with Bootloader Unlock Allowed No, means that I can't access both Flashmode & Fastboot mode
Thanks lads, again

What a bummer... I may likely to RMA or sell this phone and go for XZ, the global version ofc
I did root my phone with fastboot commands when my bootloader was still locked.
That means I could still go to fastboot stuff.
Try the fastboot commands. It might works.
So here's the history, one beautiful day my XT1033 (Brazil), starts rebooting by itself. Went online, found somethings to do, UNLOCKED THE BOOTLOADER TROUGH THE MOTOROLA SITE, and downgraded to 4.4.4, but I made the mistake of updating it, trough the normal motorola updater. It went black, wouldn't turn on, not even fastboot. Researched a bit more, did a blank flash and then I could access fastboot again. Problem is, somehow my device's bootloader got locked again, and when I tried to "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" , I would get a " couldn't get unlock data!".
So, now I can't flash a ROM , and can't unlock bootloader, is there a way to flash a ROM with it locked? Or to re-unlock the bootloader?
Pls help, I can't stand using a Galaxy pocket neo anymore, HELP ME.
GOD BLESS!
if you can access Bootloader i can recommend just reflash the original stock firmware and u can do that with locked bootloader.
