Hello, i need help about my xperia z5, i try to unlock my bl via flashtool but when i put unlock code i took this error ''FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)''. What i have to do to fix this error?
I posted my device status and flashtool logs.
Did you allow the option in developer menu?
And make sure to backup TA partion before unlocking.

Thank so much....two nights for this f***ing developer option!! Ohhh God...
I have root and twrp recovery but a locked bootloader. The phone is set up perfect.
Can i do a twrp backup, unlock bootloader, then restore twrp backup, or will the bootloader just be relocked when the backup is restored?
I have tried searching but it seems everyone else unlocks bootloader 1st.
thanks in advance
Bootloader status is independent of those partitions so it doesn't matter. Your bootloader won't get automatically locked/unlocked like this...
But remember that all DRM secured features of Sony are gone if you unlock BL (TA partition gets wiped).
hello everyone my xperia e3 is rooted and i want to unlock the bootloader using the cmd commands shown in youtube.but when i try those commands at last the status says the the "device is already rooted"
should i remove the root to try unlocking the bootloader or how to continue futhur process for unlocking bootloader?
Hey guys! Can you help me please? I wanna root my phone but i cant find a way to unlock bootloader.
Everytime i try to do it using Adb i get the error: failed remote not implemented.
How can i add this device to the device list on Motorola section of the forum?
To root a phone's Android unlocking phone's bootloader isn't needed.
Unlocking a phone's bootloader is done by Fastboot and NOT by ADB. If Fastboot returns the error mentioned then either OEM unlock isn't enabled on phone or the Fastboot driver used is wrong one: use the driver provided by OEM.
Thank you, yeah i tried to unlock using fastboot not adb. I wanna root It but be able to hide It to use banking apps. To do so i need magisk right? And to use magisk need bootloader unlocked?
To root phone's Android OS in NO case Magisk is needed: that's a widespread misconception. Also it's NOT required that phone's bootloader gets unlocked.
But i need to hide root, how can i do it without magisk?
If you would read up on what "root" means in the world of Android, you easily could answer your question yourself.
Look inside here:
Su Command in Linux (Switch User)
The su (short for substitute or switch user) command allows you to run commands with another user's privileges, by default the root user.

Someone help me please!!!
Hello again! I have a problem, i have the original firmware and the tool to flash it in case anything goes wrong (MTK Client), so i unlocked the bootloader, the problem is that when you unlock the bootloader, the baseband says (020null) and imei is unknown. I tried to restore my own nvcfg, nvram and nvdata to no luck, when I lock the bootloader, they appear again without flashing anything. So there must be something in the system that checks if you have the bootloader locked or not... I want to know how to disable it because I want to have root (I have rooted it with no issues, but i want my imei you know), i thought init.rc may have something to do with it, here is it (https://gist.github.com/ThePinkLyna/a43e65572896a57af2624610f74d00f2).
By the way my phone is an Alcatel 5007G, MTK 6762. Any ideas in where could be the block? The bootloader? An script in the system? There must be a way, right?
Re-lock the bootloader.
Android can get rooted without having the bootloader got unlocked before.
It's the Android kernel that checks if bootloader is locked or not.

How to get root without unlocking the bootloader? Because if i patch boot.img to use with magisk, then it goes into red state because secure boot. I know, the last thing you said, but i was talking about the system, there must be something which checks if the bootloader is unlocked or not and if its unlocked then it blocks the imei, i doubt android does that by default.
well, not answer to your original question, however try bootless-root method. but read warnings about limitations on locked bootloader (do not modify boot, system, ...)

You can doubt all, it's on you. Also take note that
1. every Android device comes shipped with a recovery partition by default,
2. you can't use a Custom Recovery like TWRP to restore lost IMEI.
are you sure it's bootloader lock state and not Magisk? I have same issue with Redmi 6, when booted in Magisk from fastboot baseband is unknown. normal boot baseband reappear (nothing flashed)
my suspect is magisk mount overlay (have to dig more into)

What Magisk version you tried?

Its not Magisk, because the problem starts happening when i unlock the bootloader, when i unlock it (Without installing magisk or flashing anything), and androids appears again, i go to info and it says baseband = 020null and imei unknown, if i flash magisk, then i get root but still no imei.
Im talking about the original firmware, unlocked bootloader = no imei, when i lock it again after uninstalling magisk (By flashing the original boot.img) then the imei appears again.

And my android security version is newer, so that method wont work, still, i want root so i can uninstall system apps, so an unlocked bootloader is a must, but how exactly if when i unlock it i lose the imei? Thats the problem
you don't need root to get rid of system apps. this will do it. be careful what you're doing, in case of bootloop the only way left is factory reset. do a backup before.
Code:
adb shell cmd package disable --user 0 <pkgname>
