Hello,
That is not how to unlock the bootloader. You need to follow the procedure described here

Well that method is the correct method from Sony.
No, you do not need to downgrade, you only need to do that to back up your TA. You can unlock the bootloader on any version.
Have you checked if your phone allows the bootloader to be unlocked?

1. do u have unlock key from sony ? if yes
2. connect your device in fastboot mode
3. open FLASHTOOL
4. click the BLU button
5. enter that KEY
6. click OK
DONE
congratulations, the device is unlocked and you have just LOST YOUR DRM KEYS <3 ( i hope you have backed them up ) (using universalTAbackupv2 aka dirtycow script)

The flashtool method just uses the official method from Sony in a script, so if the official way does not work neither will the flashtool method

Black Shark CHINA (SKR-A0) - Unlock Bootloader

Hi everybody!
After the precious advice of user ndt192, I managed to unlock my SKR-A0 which, until this day, seemed un-unlockable.
THIS PROCEDURE WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE MEMORY SO REMEMBER TO BACKUP EVERYTHING
TL;DR
In developer options, OEM Unlocking must be ticked (if present), then I just issued a fastboot oem unlock while in fastboot mode.
I'm on the latest OTA (29-12-18, v. G66X1812291CN00MPX).
Full Tutorial
Enable developer options by tapping 7+ times on Settings -> About Phone -> Build Number
Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking (if present) in Developer Options (Settings -> Other Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Developer Options)
Open a terminal and issue the command adb devices
On the phone, allow the access from your computer on the dialog that will be shown
In terminal adb reboot bootloader
Wait for the phone to reboot in bootloader mode
STOP AND THINK - DID YOU BACKUP EVERYTHING?
Issue the command fastboot oem unlock and wait for the OKAY in the terminal window
Reboot your phone with fastboot reboot
Now, you will be informed that because of the unlocking your phone memory is "corrupted" (aka not decryptable anymore) so the phone needs to be wiped. Agree and wait.
Hopefully, your bootloader will be unlocked now. You can check that by returning to fastboot mode and checking that the Status is Unlocked.
If you want TWRP/root, check out this thread.
This procedure didn't seem to work until a few months ago so I don't know exactly if this procedure works only on newest Joy UI versions or not. Try it out (at your own risk).
IMPORTANT - if you can't unlock with these steps, please post here with the version of Joy UI installed and the message shown after the fastboot oem unlock command

Unlock bootloader
You unlock bootloader without a code?my phone P10lite and need to code,it's really working?OMG
Help me pls, i unlock my black shark china, when i type fastboot oem unlock then cmd not working, why?
Help pls
Help, i got bootloop on my bs2pro, need unlock bootloder code for reflashing stock rom
this methode didnt work on android 10.
anyone know how to unlock bootloader and root balckshark on android 10 ?

Any way to achieve Bootloader Unlock if I've achieved root??

I used the mtk-su and instantly achieved a root with permissive selinux in an adb shell. The development on this subject has basically successfully achieved fully working temp root.
I know the Official Application doesn't support our phones and just crash, but is their any "modifications" I can do with root privileges to cause it to work?
THANKS!
Hello, i'm sorry but i'm afraid to tell you i've got the solution !
Tested on nokia 3.1 TA-1063 00WW-00.3.180-SP04
1. grab your serial number
2. generate a md5 hash with your serial number as input text, That is your bootloader unlocking key !
3. reboot into fastboot mode via adb (adb reboot bootloader)
4. make sure your device is detected (fastboot devices)
5. unlock your bootloader (fastboot oem key your-md5-hash) ex: fastboot oem key 5fd3280b7b61e5e31519a3a1788f13f6
6. enjoy !

Did you really test it? Because it's not working. Fastboot will respond to "fastboot oem key" with "OKAY", but it responds like this to any key entered. Bootloader remains locked.

Is your device detected on Device Manager?
What sort of commands are you using? I mean bootloader unlock doesn't happen via flashing anything or typing commands from a power shell on this device. All you gotta do is sign up in-depth test then after reboot your bootloader will be unlocked. With power shell/cmd you can flash stuff and custom recovery like twrp.

[UNTESTED] Bootloader Unlock On Nokia 5.1 Plus

Hey guys,
I think I found a way to unlock the bootloader on the Nokia 5.1 Plus. I didn't do it yet, but can someone please try it and see if it works?
Instructions:
1. Boot into recovery. I made a guide on how to do that in case you don't know how. Here's the link:https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-x5/how-to/guide-how-to-access-recovery-global-t4054561
2. Select reboot to bootloader.
3. Run fastboot oem unlock from adb terminal and see if anything happens.
PS. Running adb reboot fastboot from pc doesn't work-the phone just restarts-but rebooting to bootloader option from recovery actually gets it to fastboot mode.
If it works please tell me in a reply.

Hey don't post guides for other if you don't know what it means, You will get other people phones bricked.
FYI Nokia phones requires permission to unlock bootloader.
adb oem unlock doesn't work now a days for most of the phones as you know many companies has made rooting and changing roms difficult. (excluding OnePlus and Pixel).

For me it gave an error (FAILED (remote: unknown command)), where
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
gave me an error on the device asking me if I wanted to unlock flashing or to cancel. I don't know if this helps anyone anything but it seems to have worked because if I run
Code:
fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability
I get the message (bootloader) unlock_ability = 1

I've done the in-depth test and it's on the Fastboot screen but when I type fastboot flashing unlock in a command window it just shows me the help text for fastboot, which doesn't show any command or option for either flashing or unlock, so how can I get it to work if those aren't valid commands?
fastboot devices shows my phone, so the device is recognised.
EDIT: I'm still on Android 9 A.15. I understand that there's no unlocked for Android 10 yet.
EDIT: Nevermind. I was using adb/fastboot from the link in this guide, which is v1.3 https://www.ytechb.com/how-to-root-realme-5i-and-unlock-bootloader/
After I updated to minimal v1.43 from here it worked https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool
My problem was same. But i successfully downgrade to color os 6. I guess you can try it too.
Enable USB Debugging and Allow unlock boot loader option in USB debugging.
Connect your mobile with PC and use following Command.
adb reboot bootloader
fastbook flashing unlock
Check mobile for unlock option.
How did you downgraded to colour os 6?
