How to unlock Bootloader/OEM in download mode? - General Questions and Answers

Hi all,
I would like to ask how to unlock my bootloader while stuck in download mode?
After an unsuccessful flash of a stock firmware, I was stuck in download mode on my Samsung device and can't install any FW.
While in download mode I get the following message:
Samsung Custom binary (System) blocked by oem lock
Is there any possibility to unlock the bootloader?
Thank you
LieLaw

Are you sure you flash the correct firmware version for your model?
Give more details, because no one can help you if you don't help yourself.

Thank you for the reply. I’ll try to give all information I can.
My version on the phone was:
G887NKSU2CTI2 from the Provider KTC.
My phone was kind of broken (couldn’t update with an existing update possibility and apps closed by itself even after clean install).
So I wanted to install manually with Odin the latest stock firmware from the provider KTC: G887NKSU2CVH2.
This should be actually no problem, but the flash failed and now I can’t do anything with the phone. The only thing I can find on the internet is to open the bootloader, but I don’t know how I can do this.
I’ve uploaded a picture of how it looks like now. It’s translated because original text was korean.

[Q] Unlocking my bootloader ? [Android 5.1.1/D2303]

Hello,
Excuse me for asking such question but I have never Boot Unlocked & Rooted any Sony smartphone so I'm confused here. I have only rooted LG and Samsung before without Unlocking the Boot as it was straight forward process. I have found this tutorial and everything is fine as I have got "Bootloader unlock allowed" in service information which confirms that I can root my Xperia. However when I visit the official website to get my unlock key it says that I need to be on software version 18.3.C.0.37 where my one is 18.6.A.0.175. Do I just use this official website to generate the unlock key and then use the flashtool to do it anyway ? I have use flashtool before but just for flashing the TFT file. Also after I unlock the bootloader how do I install custom recovery mode then install or back up the whole OS ?
If someone would help me I will appreciate your help. :good:
Thank You.
Ok, so right now you don't need to unlock bootloader to root M2 with 5.1.1. (At least not on 2306). Anyway, when you go to official website, they ask for your imei (after selecting your device). And then they give you the unlock code, they tell you how to unlock the BL with such code, with some SDK tools, but i prefer using flashtool since it does the job for me. So, after you open up flashtool, click on the icon that sais "BLU", it will ask you to select your device, you do so. After that it will ask for the unlock code, you put it in and click on unlock. After that it will do a procces, when finished, your BL will be unlocked.
I do gotta tell you, i've unlocked BL for 2 or 3 devices, all of the times everything goes right, exept once. After unlocking BL i ended with a bootloop. So for this case just turn off the phone, and flash any ftf. Bootloader will not re-lock after flashing.

Ok, thanks !
Also why do they say I need a software version 18.3.C.0.37 ? Could it be that their SDK tools require such version where Flashtool works on all of them ? Do you know how I can install custom recovery ? Do I still use CWM Recovery or something new and how can I flash new rom into it ? I have also heard something about emma when flashing rom ?
Thanks a lot for the help, I really appreciate it :good:

Sure no problem, about that i'm not sure, i've never had that android version issue before. For CWM you can get it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/general/d2303-philz-touch-recovery-6-t3047492
Go to where it says "Download recovery" and download latest version (V0.7). Of course you have to be rooted in order to install. After you have root, enable usb debuging on your phone, and enable unkown sources just to be sure. Open the install.bat inside the file you just downloaded and follow the steps.
After you have CWM you can flash roms and other stuff.

[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/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)

That's probably because you hadn't unlocked your bootloader. The Odin restore method will work, I have done it myself, make sure you select all of the files required in Odin. Sammobile have the 3IE firmware, get version G955FXXU1AQDD

This could sound like a really dumb suggestion but remove your google account and retry. Could it be the factory reset protection?

I returned it, will be getting a refund and will buy another one
I have the exact same problem with my SM-G955F
It has FRP lock on it
It originally could boot up, but then the google screen would ask for a password
I then went to try and flash TWRP on it which did not work
I then tryed to install the samsung stock firmware for android 8.0.0 which brings up "Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked by FRP Lock"
I dont know the password, so could not enter one
I only have access to the Download screen on the phone
Flashed AP "AP_G955FXXU1CRB7_CL12993656_QB17006520_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar.md5"

What can i do to remedy this ?

I cant promise this will work but i think if you still have access to bootloader you may be able to unlock it again then flash twrp and use my step in this link here keep in mind you need to work with the correct firmware and mid for your device. my issue was a little different but i basically had 0 access to rom . i can only access twrp and bootloader. luckily i was unlocked already
