Evening all, it's been a while since I've wondered over to this part of the Web ?
Is there any way to get face unlock without changing region or installing a custom rom or using twrp etc?

Hey guys, im new to this forums so first of all, hello everybody.
so, i have this xperia l, and im not new to android devices, and i want to flash a kernel and a rom (more specificly, thunderzcap and ios7)
the problem is, i cant unlock my bootloader. In that screen after you type that weird combination of numbers in the dialer it says that i just cant do it (not allowed). I read it somewhere that i need my simlock code and something else, but according to what i know (and i dont want to believe t) this means it is permantly locked.
So anyone here knows how to solve it? I would defenitly love to unlock the bootloader so i can flash a kernel... or im stuck with my phone? i know there are other roms but it isnt the same thing...
Thanks in advance
If it's locked there is no going around it. So answer is no, if it says on the phone that bootloader is locked you can't unlock it. And there are NO roms that work with locked bootloader. For you to be able to flash a ROM on it you must have unlockable bootloader.
Sorry to give you bad news but that is way things are in your case.
Nothing you can do.................for now.
If we can get CWM going on the phone, we can flash packages. From there, if this can be extended to our phone, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595238 then we can run CM variants on top of stock, and thus there is hope for the locked bootloader people, like myself, hopefully.
Assuming the boot loader is unlocked, the phone is rooted and a custom rom installed is there a way to network unlock the Z3 without a code purchased online ? Im thinking there might be something like this thread that uses an exploit or something to unlock the phone.
Alternatively, which is the fastest phone unlocking website ?
Hi,
I have read around about the s7 and have noticed the even worse restrictions in s7.
I am not interested in custom rom atm but I need to unlock it.
So is there anyway to unlock the phone to other carriers ?
I don't mind rooting nor using a very lightly modded rom as close to stock as possible.
There's no free way to unlock the phone, you need a code, something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNLOCK-CODE...562201?hash=item3a90ed1ed9:g:g~0AAOSwXshWsREz
Hello everyone, I have questions. I will be happy if someone could help me understand Android better.
Edit: find most answers here https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/21460/what-does-fastboot-oem-lock-do, the following remains:
Is locked OEM equal to locked bootloader?
If not, which is more serious e.g. undesirable when using rooted custom ROMs?
Is it possible that booting fresh custom ROM will lock bootloader (or OEM..) back without asking? just like this happened to me with stock firmware
Is it dangerous if bootloader gets locked and I use TWRP?
hi! so i just bought my rog phone 5, coming from xperia z (yeah i know). so based on my experience using xperia phone, rooting doesnt require unlocked bootloader, right? or did i just forget it coz im using custom roms?
im just not ready to unlock the bootloader and I WANT ROOT. theres so many ads

AFAIK, unlocking bl is a prerequisite for rooting. Or else, the device wouldn't be able to execute 'fastboot flash' or 'fastboot boot' adb commands.
As for the ad issue, try 'dns.adguard.com' w/o quotes as private dns address (dns over tls).
because you need to modify the boot partition by flashing the patched boot. hence it has to be unlocked. otherwise you will not be able to flash the patched boot.
as simple as this.
By default, the bootloader only supports official signed images from the manufacturer. Since no engineering bootloader is available and we don't have the signing tools, the next best thing is to disable the restriction.
thanks everyone! this sure cleared things up. anyway is there a available custom rom? like cyanogenmod for phone 5?

Still needs a proper device profile for that stuff
