Hello.
Background:
I have re-locked my bootloader in process of recovering my phone from bricked state(I have used service firmware to recover it). But now I can not unlock bootloader again since asus official unlock tool says that there is "unknown network error ... [104]". Asus offical support says that my phone is no more supported and so they are not going to help me.
Question:
Is there any unofficial methods to unlock bootloader? Is it possible to make official unlock app to work again without changing motherboard?

Thanks in advance.

Is it simlocked? If it's simlocked to some network you are unable to unlock the bootloader. If you unlock the phone, you will be able to unlock the bootloader

I had several phones that were sim locked and I was unable to unlock the bootloader. After sim unlocking them I was able to unlock the bootloader. The same goes for the Xperia M2, it was locked on T-Mobile MK, after unlocking the phone I was able to unlock the bootloader.

So, I assume that if I flash a debranded firmware from Xperia M2 (My cellphone can't unlock Bootloader about the "[x]Newtork 10" is locked in SimLock) may unlock the bootloader without any troubles? Is that so? Or I'm mistaken?
If I'm correct, that'd be amazing, I'd like use other ways to personalize my phone but I can't 'cause of the stupid Bootloader xDD.
Thanks!

Unfornately yes it's true how DavidMKD sayd before you need to unlock you device before unlocking the bootloader i asked few friends and XDA members and they confirmed too so , unlock the phone than you can unlock the bootloader

Debranding basically removes all the bloatware that slow your phone down. You can't sim unlock with debranding, only with special code provided by some other sim unlock sites/ebay

Exactly that. Try to enter it correctly because there is a limit on how many times you can enter to network unlock code. If it doesn't work on KitKat, downgrade it to 4.3 and enter the code. I had similar problem where I was unable to unlock on KK but on 4.3 worked fine.

Well, about that, I have a "plan", or, better said, a contract between the carrier and the cellphone, so, I must wait for two days to complete the "legal" contract. So, after that, I guess that I can unlock the device and then, unlock bootloader.
Thanks for everything!
First sorry about my english
Im trying unlock the bootloader , but when i click to get a code show this message "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking "
i tried get send email to motorola and i recieve this email " The reason why you are getting this message is because your device does not have the ability to unlock the bootloader. Since your software does not have those qualifications, unfortunately there is no way to provide you with a code"
Have another method to unlock the bootloader ?
Have you tried using Motochopper?
If your device has been unlocked previously (IE sold used) then you are not eligible for another bootloader unlock.

Hi, I wanted to unlock the bootloader of my device but on the Sony website it says that I should be on a specific firmware but I've already upgraded from that firmware and don't plan on downgrading. Can I continue unlocking the bootloader?

Hey,
I also had this "Problem" saying I have to be on a Specific Firmware. But my Phone came out of the Box with a Newer Firmware. But you can continue Unlocking your Bootloader without downgrading i did it too and it worked.

The same thing is happening to me but my bootloader has been unlocked before. I re-locked it because I unchecked developer options. Now that I want to root my device and require my bootloader open, the button to check and uncheck is dark grey and is refusing to check the option.
PLEASE GIVE ADVICE/HELP.
Is there any updates in this topic?
I've been struggling with this problem since a week now, my phone is working, but I don't have original IMEIs, SN, and I locked my bootloader again by accident. Now I can't unlock it, it says: Unlock failed...
Is there any solution for this?
Or any other methods for unlocking the bootloader apart from the regular methods (fastboot oem unlock, fastboot flashing unlock etc.)?

May be we can try! PM me.
Fortunately, I've solved it by reflashing proinfo, and other partitions. It was quite a long time ago, so I don't really remember it, but I managed to solve it after a few days/weeks of struggling.

Great. If you need any help for your Nokia device you can comment down below this post.
Does anyone know the command to relock bootloader? I flashed the raw firmware but every command I tried to relock failed. I need to make a warranty claim but can't until the bootloader is relocked.
Commands I have tried but failed:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem asus-csc_lk ( taken from ROG Phone 2 forums)
Code:
fastboot oem asus-back
fastboot reboot (if it doesn't reboot on it's own)
Thank you! Worked perfectly. You rock!

Nice to hear it
Just remember you won't get FOTAs anymore because Asus is blacklisting unlocked phone's IMEI.
I wonder if there's a way to fake-send the IMEI to Asus when doing the unlocking process.
I don't know how exactly the bootloader is being unlocked but something tells me the unlock code is generated with the use of IMEI/SN. Wrong phone IDs = wrong key, however this is only my speculation.
I did the above command and now it says the deivce is corrupt and can't be trusted and will not boot. No press start to continue message. Can you please help me or guide me to unbrick this phone? Thank you.
P.S. I guess following the guide-unbricking-zs630kl can help? Thank you.
Edit: Nevermind. Followed that guide and unbricked it myself.

Were you able to claim the warranty? Did you do the official(Download from ASUS site) or unofficial bootloader unlock?

After you unbricked the phone, was the bootloader re-locked? Also, were you able to successfully file a warranty claim or return the phone? tnx

He has bricked it while locking the bootloader, so yeah, it will be locked. Warranty will depend on where you live. If you'll have faulty motherboard, they'll probably replace it for free but technically this is mandatory action only in the EU because just unlocking can't be considered as warranty void. Of course until they prove you that you bricked it.
