Bootloader Unlock For SOV37 Possible - Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion

Just in case anyone wondering. I have XZ2 AU (SOV37) with Bootloader unlock allowed : No
So I use qUnlocktool, paid some money for it (nugsm), and unlock the simlock (even though it's already unlocked to begin with)
And after that Bootloader unlock allowed : become Yes.
Then I flashed Android 10 global ROM, unlocked Bootloader, phone unable to receive signal.
From there all I have to do is just to restore the backup from qUnlocktool, as result I have unlocked Bootloader and unlocked SIM.
Hope this can help some people.
Though by flashing to Global / Custom ROM you will lose NFC. recommended to use debloater (magisk) to remove NFC related services to prevent battery drain.

I tried unlocking an Xperia XZ2 SOV37 with qUnlocktool and it worked. It showed Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes, and then I proceeded to unlock bootloader with fastboot command. However this error showed up:

I tried on both AU stock rom as well as lastest android 10 UK Customized (H8216_52.1.A.3.49-R8C_Customized UK) but both failed to unlock bootloader.
Can you help me solve this problem? Which global rom did you flash?

[Q] BLUnlock not allowed solution ?

Hello every one. I have a c2105 from Vodafone and I'm convinced that there's no option to unlock my bootloader, but recently, I found two videos on Youtube which show a software that can unlock it when it says "NOT Allowed"...
Links:
https://youtu.be/Li8Eim6gugw
https://youtu.be/f7EXkspZ6Bg
Has anyone tried one of these softwares and has it a chance to succeed ? :fingers-crossed:
Thank you :laugh:

Flash recovery to boot via fastboot and flash rom and after that flash boot from that rom
There is a way to install a cwm while BL locked. Although in order to flash a custom ROM you need to find a good one and one for BL locked (which there aren't many at the moment)
Can we install rom without unlocking bl
Help, I need dumped TA partition with permission to unlock the bootloader, mine is locked (orange) and I want find the differences.

Relock bootloader for warranty

Hi, is It possible to relock bootloader for to have warranty back?
Thanks
once you flash the stock img, it will be locked again.
Till Nougat, we had dload method which locks it fully (other method for unlocking it would just re-lock it)

Hey, i am in the same situation and after flashing the stock rom + stock recovery my bootloader is still unlocked, and i still get that "This device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" screen on boot.
Is there any way to manually lock the bootloader?
Edit: i found this SRKTool and i was able to easily relock the bootloader. You need the Unlock code though and it resets your phone, so backup your data.

Yes it will only relock the bootloader but not lock. Anyone experienced with this can get this that you had unlocked your bootloader earlier

Thanks

Use the first file, update.zip. it will contain a update.app file around 3 GB. Can use this single file.

Really? And I have to install over the same firmware, not an update? For example, now I'm on 162 build with unlock bootloader. If I install only update.zip of 162 build with dload method, I obtain the lock bootloader?

Not able to lock my bootloader again in my Redmi Note 7 Pro

I sucessfully installed Orange Fox Recovery in my Redmi Note 7 Pro (violet). But then after that I wanted to go back to the stock rom so I flashed it with Mi Flash. The Rom which I flashed was Global Stable Fastboot Rom (Version 11.0.8.0) but after flashing an error appeared that the system has been destroyed. Then I tried to unlock my bootloader, that took place successfully and my phone booted but the bootloader was still unlocked, I want to lock my bootloader. But whenever I do this the System Gets Destroyed.
You probably have the Chinese version and are flashing the Indian rom. Try to flash the Chinese rom and lock the bootloader and see if it works.

You can install the OTA update from here. Just follow the instructions Google provided at the top of the page and you should be all updated. It's only the full images that require the bootloader to be unlocked.
Just go look up factory images for Pixel phones. You can install firmware right from the web browser. You don't need to have root. Root is optional.
Do you mean without an unlocked bootloader? Root is not the same thing and does not determine how you can flash firmware.
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can use the Android Flash Tool. If your bootloader is not unlocked, downgrading is impossible.

@Albi Lukaj, Please be aware that unlocking your bootloader WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE AND RETURN IT TO STOCK!!!
If that is not preferable, you might try applying the OTA like stated in Post #2, but I am not sure if it works downgrading a version (it probably doesn't)...

I know that if I install modified ROM and lock bootloader I will get a brick. But will I get a brick if i install official (stock) ROM but old version and then lock bootloader?

The question is, can I lock the bootloader with the old version of the official firmware installed without getting a brick. Because the old version of the firmware works smoother.
Locking a bootloader doesn't affect ROM actually installed: Lock or Unlock will wipe your data, that's all.

You still, or I didn´t find, that you mention the model of your device, that´s matter to have the right answer.
Also, it depends on which method you used to flash the ROM, if you officially, flashed the ROM, and the rollback didn´t affect your device, then it won´t do, locking or unlocking it.

The stock ROM can be installed on the phone at any time. Mostly via ADB / Fastboot tools.

My phone is Sony Xperia 1 J9110. I flashed it officially to the latest ROM through settings. Then I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the old stock ROM via newflasher. Then I decided to relock the bootloader with old stock ROM installed. Does this mean that I will get my phone bricked if I lock the bootloader with old stock ROM actually installed?

Yes, always that you flash a stock ROM, you can re-lock it, fastboot will erase the data as a security measurement.
