Hello,
i have an issue. I am trying to pull out the CDA code, but the top part of the screen is not working, which is where exactly the System tools option would be.
Any other options on how i can pull out the info?
The phone is NOT rooted, and is with stock bootloader.

Hi, I am Eugenio, and I like my new smartphone Sony Xperia M2 dual, (previous was a lg p500, nice one ), I like what sony has made with android and user experience, on the other side I come from a smartphone that has root, and some apps...you know....are addictive(with the root PoWeR). I already checked the phone number(*#*#...) and my smartphone are allowed to be unlocked in the bootloader. And I readed that if I do the unlock, I may break some DRM's keys that can influence negatively my user experience, and now I am wondering what kind of features/algorithms I am going to influence negatively(or break) by unlocking the bootloader? Some expert on this forum know what kind of things I am going to lose?
[Bonus question] I looked in this page to obtain the code that give me the capacity to unlock the bootloader: developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/
and I was wondering if there are any problem to select the device Xperia M2 to obtain the necessary code obtained later by IMEI?
There is no one "M2 dual" in the list, and I dont know if this selection is valid or not for my intention to unlock the bootloader, what you think about? It is a valid method too?
[Combo->Bonus question] When I select "Xperia M2" in that page, there are this advice:
Important note! In order to unlock your Xperia™ M2 you need to be on software version 18.3.C.0.37. Also beware that booting this device the first time after unlocking the boot loader may take a long time.
After I read it, I see the software version of my smartphone, and it is 18.3.B.0.31 and I was wondering if this would make impossible to unlock the bootloader. It is a problem?
[Final noob question] After all this doubts, if the unlock operation can be made, can I root the current stack of my android? Or I need to flash a new rom stack?
Hi guys, my new Z3 has just arrived today and I am looking to remove the bloat. I went to the Sony site to unlock my bootloader but aparently it cannot be unlocked (using service menu to check). I am new to Sony products, does this mean I will never be able to unlock my bootloader? Is this caused by a hardware difference?
Thanks

Plenty about this on the forums already.
If service menu says "bootloader unlock allowed: no"
You can't do anything.

Can someone clearify to me what i lose or what dont work if i unlock my bootloader and root my Z3... Some camera elements dont work? I lose TA and DRM things? What else? Now i have rooted Note 4 without losing anything (okay, Knox but i dont even need it) but i havent never unlock Sony Xperia Devices and i can't live without root.

Hi guys,
I have bought C6603 prototype (locked bootloader, no root). Do you anyone know how to remove prototype mode? I would like to stay on locked bootloader
I have flashed by flashtool succesfully just D6603_Customized CE1_1288-7914_23.5.A.1.291_R2D or sometimes D6603_23.0.A.2.93_R11B_SE_1289, all other ROMs stuck just on xperia logo bootloop.
(Xperia companion repair shows just error and I have no other solution how to fix bootloop)
I also tried root system (by giefroot-3,3.1, kingoroot(.apk or .exe), Xperia Z3 Rooting Package .291 all wihout any success) to install recovery and mount rw system partition.
Can anybody give me an advice?
Isnt a c6603 a z1 not a z3?

nono Z3 D6603, thanks!
I also got an Xperia Z3 that was popping up a message that it was a prototype, but I can root it just like any Z3. I also managed to unlock its bootloader with the normal method, but it was saying "Rooting Status: Unknown". I installed a ROM that didn't require an unlocked BL tho' and it was all fine. I'm sort of afraid of installing a ROM that needs an unlocked BL just 'cause the phone ends up telling me that the Rooting Status is Unknown.
Edit: To clarify better, my phone was always saying that the BL could be unlocked. It's not like I tried to unlock it even though it was saying that it wasn't possible to do so.
I have sony xperia m2 eagle, and i am trying to unlock the device to work with other carriers.
Different brands have different lock techniques of locking the device most of them are on hardware level.
And i am asking is the snipet of code on different chip on the main board? Because no one seems to answer me this question.
If i flash custom rom in theory the lock shouldn't work because the TA partition is erased, like with the DRM keys.
And all those dialer codes did not worked with that phone, nor "Network unlock" field is prompted when i insert different SIM card.
Do i need to have jtag tools?
