how did you find out that your BOOTLOADER unlock is NOT allowed?
anways if your device's bootload cannot be unlocked then you cannot do anything!
however there is only one solution! , DOWNGRADE YOUR DEVICE TO ANDROID 5.1.1 ( use flashtool > Xperifirm > 2015 device z5(samuri)--take firmware "service Exchange Unit" form list(thats android 5.1.1) on which z5 was actually left SONY FACTORY)
once your downloaded firmware, close xperifirm and FLASHTOOL automatically trigger making ftf file for you ,
flash this firmware and TRY ROOTING it with KINGROOT or KINGOROOT , as ANDROID5.x.x had xploits and kingroot and root it.
now you have z5 device ROOTED (LOCKED BOOTLOADER).
and if even KINGROOT have no strategy then I don't have any other options for you

That means by downgrade firmware I can root my device, but no surety for that. And no custom rom also.
I bought a second hand device. Now I am planing to sell it
Thanks for the reply.

all the best, if you wana stick to Xperia Line then I would suggest for you
XZs or XZP
make sure you check the boot unlock status on display pieces, XZs can be rooted after boot is unlocked where XZP , you must buy $20 utility and run it for every update.
BOTH DEVICES , DRMKEYS cannot be BACKED UP
for z5, til XZ, drm keys can backed up!
i have Z5 Docomo AU model SOV32, and i want to custom rom mine, but when i check the Bootloader Status is "No".
So i can't do custom rom it ??
or any tips or way?, to do unlock the bootloader so i can do custom rom.
thanks before, and sorry for my bad english.

No, you cannot install custom ROM on that device . next time when you buy xperia device check Bootloader Status before hand.
No tips, No way. (so said)
I tried this but can't root so far even with Kingroot or KingoRoot.

Xperifirm always give you an option of downloading the latest rom for your device. My device is Sony Z5 so therfore I can donwnload nougat 7.1.1 from experfirm. Now coming to the point as you said earlier about lollipop 5.1.1
How you can download an older version of rom from xperifirm. I never find the way how do you?

Ive found on few sites that my Sony Xperia M2 D2303 with Kitkat should be 18.3.C.0.37 but mine software version is 18.3.1.C.0.21.
Why is it like this? Is there something wrong with my device, is it fully updated to last software version or not?
Also ive checked bootloader unlock status and it says Not allowed.
In the official Sony site ive seen a text that says: "Important note! In order to unlock your Xperia™ M2 you need to be on software version 18.3.C.0.37." - which is different then mine.
I also checked for any updates but there is nonne showing in my sony app.
How can i solve this?
Thanks in advance.

Different terms, different topics.
Let's see, .21 build version number means 4.4.4 KitKat (most updated version of KitKat).
If the unlock allowed device says No, it means you have the SIM Locked, so, you need to contact your carrier provider in order to unlock it and change the status to "yes", so, you could unlock your bootloader without any troubles in the process
Official Sony says you need to be in 4.4.2 or higher build number version, it's not stated you need to be in .37 build number.
Note: 4.4.2 (is precisely .37 build number, but, still .21 or higher works fine with the unlocking).
Regards!
i know its a bit turn off the topic, but while im still here let me ask - Does anyone know is Lolipop gonna come out for M2 or not?
There have been many different statements about this so id like to know once for all, is it or not?

No. It ain't confirmed yet. In some point might show up for our device. But right now there's no confirmation. Just OmniROM, CyanogenMod 12 and FXP AOSP.
If your bootloader unlock allowed says no. Then there is nothing you can do to unlock it. Not even network unlocking your phone will change that. To get bootloader unlock allowed yes buy sim free unlocked device. Most carriers lock down bootloaders hope this answers your questions

But ive hear many times people are "decoding" their phones in order to get SIM free device, why cant i do it?
And is there a way to root my device without unlocking bootloader?
To root you need to search on here plenty of easy to follow tutorials on how to root for locked and unlocked bootloaders.

Under what assumptions you say that? Topics before some guy said that he unlocked its device changing the status of its SIMLock with some code to unlock it. The carrier locks down your phone via SIM, but it doesn't mean you can't unlock it forever. If you "free" it, the problem must be solved. The guy I'm talkin' about, unlock two devices using the same method I'm sayin' here, and the two of them went fine. So, just try. The carrier shouldn't show any troubles in order to disable the SIMLock, it's your right, in fact.
Hi guys, just a couple noob questions:
I'm planning to update to Marshmallow but, if I don't like it can I go back to Lollipop?
This is because maybe I'll have bugs like most people here and also because I want to root it(when they find an exploit) and that can only be done while in Lollipop am I right?
Thank you for your help.
Yes you can go back to lollipop if you want by flashing lollipop firmware with flashtool.
There is root for MM.
Is there root?
But I have to unlock the bootloader right? I'll just wait until there's a way to root without doing that.
No that's not right if an exploit is found on marshmallow then there would not be need to go to lollipop unless the exploit was found on lollipop. Also marshmallow has far less bugs than lollipop. But as @gm007 said there is unlocked bootloader root and you can downgrade by flashing firmware with flashtool

In case if you didn't know, if you're waiting for root without unlock because of the loss of functions e.g x-reality etc., check this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/sony-credentials-restore-unlocking-t3296383
(Sony credentials restore after unlocking the bootloader), It simulates the sony credentials to get the sony functions back.
If you are waiting for different reason, just ignore my post.

Hey everybody I really want to install this on my Xperia Z5 and I'm a total newbie in Android Development, rooting and stuff.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-n-style-xperia-x-systemui-v1-themes-t3368086
This one is for Z5 and I really like to have this on my phone, The difference of this with the other ones in "Cross Device Development" is that it doesn't require root, I don't want to root my phone nor unlock my bootloader and I think I can't cause in Service Menu; bootloader unlock is not allowed as I'm on Vodafone UK.
This mod requires Deodex and then flash via recovery, What I'm asking is that doesn't installing a recovery or to deodex using it require root?, correct me if I'm wrong but it appears that there's already a recovery available on the Z5 if so can I flash that using Sony's own recovery?
In short is there anyway to install this on my Z5 Without rooting?
Cheers mates!

No, you can't. You can't flash anything not-sony-signed on stock phone.
Locked bootloader with stock kernel is completely closed and protects system partitions.
You must unlock you bootloader to do anything you can find in these forums. Absolutely no other way.
If you wish, you can try searching on Play store an app (launcher) that emulates Xperia X home launcher. If there's any, it will be limited in comparison with the solution provided in the thread above, as it will not change System UI elements.
Regarding unlocking, please enable "OEM unlock" in developer settings (tap many times on "build number" in settings -> phone info ). Try again to check your Unlocking possibility in service menu.
Thank you, thank you very much for your reply, The Xperia X launcher is already available on Beta Home Program, however it's the lockscreen I really really like, such a shame that you can't get it without root.
I've started learning about custom firmware and Xperia Z3 customization a day ago, since I couldn't stand the stock firmware. My current goal is to flash Lineage OS 14.1 on my D6603. And in the post it says it require an Upgraded Unlocked Bootloader. Now I do understand the Unlocked Bootloader part, but I'm not sure about the Upgraded part. And I've done some read around the forum and found one that refers to it but I'm not sure. Doing Google search didn't show too much information about it? The reason that I'm not doing more research is I'm kinda tight on time these day. So much appreciate to anyone can help.
Also my D6603 is currently running the latest MM build with Root access and Dual recovery installed.
The updated part refers to the latest official bootloader from the Sony Firmware .291.
It requires Sony Software called "EMMA" (instructions are easy to find).
Connect your device and flash the latest firmware to get the bootloader on your device.
Backup all your data in case something gows wrong (especially the one on internal storage as it gets wiped in the process I think).

Really appreciate your reply. Would that allow my phone's bootloader to be unlocked too? Because I've just read around a bit and according to the Sony's UnlockBootloader site, I can't unlock it. And I just don't want to be stuck with MM build.

Open phone app, input *#*#7378243#*#*, tap "service info" "Configuration", then find "Bootloader unlock allowed".
If it said "Yes", you can get your unlock code on https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/ ; If it said "No", then...It was a great pity that your phone can't be rooted.
By the way, the SOV32 is customized version of au.
