Bootloader Unlock Allowed NO, fastboot to unlock - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/help/bootloader-unlock-allowed-able-to-boot-t3715524
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.

Bootloader Unlock Allowed NO, but still able to boot to fastboot

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

Nexus Stuck on Google Logo

Hello guys, I dont know whats happening with my Nexus 5 right now. Its stuck on Google logo which appears during restarting of the phone.
I have tried everything. I try to go into recovery it dosent work. I tried changing it to CWM from TWRP still it stays TWRP i get errors while flashing .bat files like (error: failure to write). Please help been stuck on this since past 72hours. Any help to resolve this issue is appreciated. Thanks :crying::crying::crying:
If the bootloader is unlocked, relock the bootloader and reboot into fastboot mode. If the bootloader unlocks itself, the internal memory is probably damaged. If the bootloader remains locked, unlock it and flash 4.4 using fastboot commands.

OEM can be locked and unlocked. But the only problem now is i cannot override the previous partitions as there is an error "failed to write" i dont understand why is this happening this is also the reason i cannot get into my recovery as when i enter recovery it gets stuck for some reason.

Let's start with the bootloader.
Boot into fastboot mode, lock the bootloader, reboot into fastboot mode. Does the bootloader stay "locked" or does it go back to say "unlocked"?

I tried the 1st step by overwriting twrp with cwm dint work. Also ADB isnt connected. I tried to but just fastboot works.
I recommend flashing stock 4.4 using fastboot commands.

I tried flashing new roms it says failure to write to cache,boot,recovery everything fails!
There is no way to erase partitions as it fails!
I would say the internal memory is damaged and will require a motherboard change.

right now i have kept the phone in freezer now.
my bootloader is locked .. can i still unlock it and flash factory image ?

not a single reply ? bump...
Are you able to communicate with the device using fastboot?
Try flashing the stock images via fastboot
You won't need an unlocked bootloader for this

Try the instructions at the top of the page here https://developers.google.com/android/images
It may work without unlocking the bootloader.

whatever command i use it says OEM unlock is not allowed.
Just throwing out ideas that you may have already tried. If I understand right you cannot get into recovery which eliminates trying to sideload the stock image. Your bootloader is locked and it will not let you unlock so booting into TWRP is out of the question. Are you just wanting your phone operational again? Have you tried wiping/factory resetting with fastboot commands? i.e. fastboot erase userdata or fastboot format userdata.

yes i have tried flashing by giving the fastboot command "flash-all.bat" it starts flashing and it stops in the initial stage by giving error " restarting bootloader" then I get 2nd error " bootloader locked" and process repeats again

both command not working .. same bootloader locked message.
error message " Please unlock the device to activate this command"
anyone else can help ?
I would contact Google customer support. Even though my phone was out of warranty and I was not the original buyer (bought in eBay), they were willing to make a one-time exception for an RMA. I didn't use it because my phone is rooted and I was afraid of being charged for any repairs. As long as your phone is stock and unrooted, you have a chance. Just say that you think you have a hardware failure and while you understand that they are in no obligation to help, you would appreciate anything they can do.

Enabling OEM Unlock in Developer options doesn't unlock the bootlader, it simply prepares the bootloader to get unlocked via fastboot command.

I don't know if you are still interested in accessing Fastboot but you can access it using a specific firmware version.
Still, let me tell you that unlocking the bootloader is virtually impossible. Since the well-known generic method doesn't work for the SoC SC9863A, you need to have a special Fastboot's program version and a dedicated private key that only they provide.... and I emphasize the word "dedicated" since apparently ZTE did not use a generic key to sign their ROMS. At least on this device.
Unless they decide to release the key or give support to unlocking the bootloader, all we can do is wait for them to change their minds. Because they don't want to provide it. I know because I tried to order it several times.

I want to root my Nokia 1.4

How can I root my Nokia 1.4 Android 11(Go edition)
Unlock bootloader and flash magisk. Since the device is new, I recon that you will need to wait a couple of months for a guide to pop up. Or you could try your hand with generic guides on web and risk it. Either you unlock and root your device or you hard brick it. Nothing a trip to the service won't fix.

Can you tell me how to unlock bootloader please on Nokia 1.4 and root the device so that I can install twrp on it. I'm not a pro in these stuff
Just… go to dev options and enabwl oem unlocking then download platform tools on pc, boot into bootloader, and do an unlock command. Just find a generic, no-Samsung guide.
