Yes It does. But you should flash stock kernel first unless you intent to use seus directly to get stock rom like i did. I hope you understand what i mean. Once again sorry for my poor english.

As I can install stock kernel again, I have only the kernel ...
Thanks for your help friend

Arc S (L18i) Users,
Unlocked Bootloader, and DooMKernel caused Problems for me. My Phone never got identified by PC companion thereafter. I wanted it so bad, So I decided to Reloack the Bootloader again.
Let me Save you lots of time,
Before Locking the Bootloader again,
If you're on DooMKernel, Reflash a Stock Kernel.
You can get the Stock Kernel, by Downloading the Stock FTF package and then Extracting it with 7zip. Find the Kernel.sin file and flash it using the Fastboot commands.
Once its done, If your device Still doesn't connect in USB mode, use SEUS and Update the firmware. No need to upgrade, Just re-install what you have.
SEUS needs the bootloader to be locked.

hi, so are you saying Re-locking your bootloader wont wipe out your phone ?
And Sony Already Took All Your Info When You Unlocked Your Phone So I Am Sure They Will Know That You Just Re-locked It Some How And Refuse To Fix It Either Way If Something Goes Wrong.

When i tried to relock my bootloader flashtool didn't see loader.sin i don't know what's wrong with it please help me...

so i want to ask a question about my kernel. Im using 4.0.3 ICS beta and im very happy with it. But when the time comes i wanna get my update for ICS officially and that's why i want to lock my bootloader again. My Kernel Version on "About Phone" is 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected]#1 . My question is: I know its not a stock kernel when it says SemcUser and stuff but can u explain or atleast give me a link for some instructions how to get my stock kernel back and is it doable with reflashing to a 2.3.4 GB ? Thanks in advance!

Worked like a charm on my Xperia Arc 4.0.2.A.0.62 LT15a.
Also I was able to repair my phone via sony pc companion
Although I was unable to find a way to get DRM files back, I have installed the never version of Sony Track ID from Google Play Store and restore that functionality..
Thanx electrash and Blagus, you guys are awesome!!

what i want to know is if this would work on the Xperia play
and what method of unlocking bootloader does this relock: test point or sony's method?

This is Q&A thread. Please move
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium

Is this suitable for LT18i?
Can the TFT file be used in the latest Flashtool, or does it need this version?

i used Xperia_Relock_bootloader.ftf to unroot my phone,
now when i try to turn it on it only vibrate one time and gives a small green led bling.
connecting to pc works but it only shows a connected phone with the pc companion.
i had Arconium 8.2 with doomkernel installed.

thanks mannnnnnn
thanks man u r the best if i cud press the thanks button 1000 time i will:good:
q\ i did install ics jb remix after that i did stock on sony logo then locked the boot loader with your trk and it works again thanks
do i need a custom kernal for custom roms????????????

After flashing Xperia Relock bootloader.ftf i can't no longer unlock the bootloader on my Xperia Pro,
i am being returned this when i try to unlock the bootloader.
(bootloader) Unlock phone requested
FAILED (remote: oem unlock failed!)
finished. total time: 0.004s

[ALL-IN-ONE][HOW-TO][D5803] Bootloader Unlock/Relock/Flash firmware/CWM Recovery/Root

Hello
I have done this on two Xperia Z3 Compact phones this weekend in Bulgaria, bought from local mobile operator. I wanted the latest Sony firmware, so I did the following:
How to install the newest Android 4.4.4 for Sony XPERIA Z3 Compact D5803
CAUTION
There is information, that users who have unlocked the new Xperia Z3 Compact have found that low-light camera performance drops considerably. It turns out to be because of DRM in Sony's image signal processing.
When the bootloader is unlocked, the device loses certain DRM security keys. That means you can't purchase content from Sony's storefronts and a few licensed features won't work, but it apparently also means basic features of the phone are negatively affected. A Sony rep has confirmed that some advanced camera algorithms on the new generation of devices like the Z3 and Z3 Compact are protected by DRM. If you unlock the phone, those features stop working. Apparently that causes photos in low-light to be noisier and poorly balanced.
This isn't the first time Sony's bootloader unlock has come with some major drawbacks—unlocking past devices could actually break camera functionality (this was technically a bug). There have always been a few proprietary features that stop working, but the difference in image quality this time is allegedly noticeable.
Update: Sony has updated the text of the bootloader unlock warning on its website to be clear about the camera impact. It reads, "...the removal of DRM security keys may affect advanced camera functionality. For example, noise reduction algorithms might be removed, and performance when taking photos in low-light conditions might be affected."
Relocking your device bootloader will NOT get back the lost DRM Keys... Once locked, they will be lost forever! More info cant be found HERE
More detailed info and explanations can be found HERE

1. PREPARATION
1) First of all, check your firmware version (if you already have the newest one, you do not need to download it, so skip step 3) and step 4), that are below. Just proceed with step 2) -> 5) from the PREPARATIONS (this) tutorial . Steps in the other tutrials are absolutely needed! Dont skip any of them!)
2) Download and install latest Flashtool from here (Latest Flashtool for Xperia Devices)
3) Download also latest Sony Original Firmware - 23.0.A.2.105 - Android 4.4.4 ( Mega Download ) for Sony XPERIA Z3 Compact
4) Paste the .ftf file downloaded in step 3 in folder „Firmware“ in your Flashtool installation folder. (for example for me is C:/Flashtool/Firmware)
5) Go on Sony Mobile site and download the Sony PC Companion. You must install it, because it installs some important drivers for your device. Since Sony stopped the Update Service application, now all the job is done from PC Companion.
a) After you installed the PC Companion, you must launch it and download the "Support Zone" addons from the main menu.
b) After that you must go in your Flashtool installation folder and find the Drivers folder. Go in it and install the Flashtool drivers for your device.
IMPORTANT
It is important to install Flashmode and Fastboot drivers with the driver for your device! Otherwise it will cause some problems during the flash procedure.
So now we're going into the real part of the things
2. BOOLADER UNLOCK
1) Go on Sony Mobile Developers website, register, enter your device IMEI and it will generate an unlock key for your device. Write it down!!!
1) Start Flashtool application and click on BLU button on the top
2) Turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button
3) Copy the unlock key, that was given to you earlier from Sony Website to Flashtool window and than click unlock button
4) When you are prompted, disconnect your phone and connect the phone again, but this time with holding volume up button when Flashtool shows pop up window
5) Wait the unlock process to finish
6) Disconnect your phone and start it up. If it boots normaly, than all is DONE. Congratulations! You have unlocked your bootloader!
3. BOOTLOADER RELOCK
1) Download and install latest Flashtool from here (Latest Flashtool for Xperia Devices)
2) Start Flashtool and click on BLU button on the top
3) Turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button
4) Just click on relock button and your bootloader is locked again
4. Flash Sony XPERIA Z3 Compact Latest Firmware - 23.0.A.2.105 - Android 4.4.4
1) Ensure yourself that you have the .ftf. that you downloaded in the PREPARATION process into the Firmwares folder of your Flashtool
2) Do not connect the phone to the computer yet. You must first open the Flashtool application, click on flash (the thunder) and choose Flashmode, than choose the firmware that you have downloaded and click ok.
3) Now turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button
4) After few minutes of flashing, all is done!
IMPORTANT
The process is pretty slow! DO NOT DISCONNECT your phone during the proccess! Leave it still and for it to finish the flashing process! When it is DONE, Flashtool will say Disconnect and turn on your device (not a pop-up, just a line at the bottom of the other lines of words)!!!
If the device boots normaly, it should be factory reseted and it will boot slowly. Much slowly than normal.
Congratulations! You have the lates firmware from Sony!
5. Flashing ClockWorkMod Recovery
1) Download the kernel image with integrated CWM Recovery from HERE
2) Save the boot.img to folder of your choice
3) Open Flashtool, click on the Flash (thunder) and choose Fastboot. Choose "Choose file to flash" under the DooMLoRD "side" of the opened window. Then choose the folder, that you have saved the boot.img in and then choose the .img file itself.
4) Follow the instructions. There are two posibilities - the phone will reboot itself and go into Fastboot mode without you touching it OR you must turn-off the phone, hold the volume up key and connect phone to computer.
5) The flashing will finish verry fast. Wait for it and when it is done, disconnect you phone and turn it on. When Sony logo appears, start pressing the volume down button rapidly, until it enter the recovery mode. And you're ready to go!
6. ROOT
IMPORTANT
You must ensure yourself, that you have falshed the kernel boot.img WITH the CWM Recovery!
1) Once you have flashed the kernel boot.img WITH the CWM Recovery download the latest SuperSU update.zip from: HERE
2) Save the downloaded .zip file on sdcard of device
3) Reboot into recovery and choose "Install ZIP from sdcard" and then "Choose ZIP file to install" (moving thru options is vol up / volume down keys; choosing an option is power button)
4) Choose the .zip file that you have downloaded on your sdcard and the installing should begin
5) After a while the installing should be finished you the recovery will bring you into the menu, that was just before the installation begin. You must choose "Go back" and then "Reboot"
6) The recovery will say you, that the root permisions must be fixed befor rebooting - choose ok / accept or fix (don't remeber what was the opiton really...)
7) If all is OK the phone must boot normaly ( the first time it will say "Upgrading Applications") and after that in the applications menu you must have an applicaion, named SuperSU. If you have it - Congratulations! You have rooted you phone successfully!
7. Installing BusyBox
It is highly recommended to install busybox after rooting!
You must just go to andorid play store and download the busybox installer. Once the installer is downloaded start it and choose to install busybox in /system/xbin. After the installation is done, reboot the device and you're done!

nowhere you mention that unlocking loses DRM keys and relocking will not get it back - you really need to include this vital info!

Is the only downside of missing the DRM keys the camera?? How bad does it actually get?

There is a topic that compares pictures with and without an unlocked BL.
The problem is if you unlock your BL and you send your phone back for repairs, chances are very big that they will refuse to repair your device.
Hence being able to re-lock it and regaining the keys is almost a must.

Thanks!! It works a lot!

Well since you unlock your BL through Sonys website they'll know If its been unlocked...regardless If you relock it.

For a guide which details unlocking bootloader, you should probably include backing up TA partition using this tool
Do it after root, before unlocking bootloader. Then if you want DRM stuff back, you can restore the TA backup using the same tool; this automatically relocks the bootloader, then flash a stock kernel (& rom if you need) & it will be in 'factory' condition

Hi, I followed the steps exactly and everything went perfect. However, I downloaded CM nightly and when i try to install it, i get an error msg that says that the nightly zip file is for zc3, while my phone is aries (which i believe is Xiomi MI2). The model number of the phone still says d5803, so I am not sure why its recognized incorrectly.
Any ideas, anyone?

@ThunderBird891 Where did you get the boot.img from under " 2) Save the boot.img to folder of your choice" of flashing cwm ?
Also, the "choose file" option in flashtool isn't there in fastboot mode. There is "select kernel to flash" but it's looking for .sin files and not .img files, am i missing something here ?
I've flashed with cm12, but i'd like a proper recovery and root.

I believe that, by now, you got the answer to this question... Yeah, I don't know why this is happening, you won't have this issue after flashing CM12 / CM12.1 the first time since all the upgrades will be done through Cyanogen Recovery which seems to work ok for updates.
Anyway, you need to remove the first line (pretty long one, so be careful) in the updater-script. You can find the updater script in the CM12/ CM12.1 zip archive, under META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script. If you're running Windows, please, make sure you edit this script using Notepad++, not Notepad.

Hi guys, i have a problem.
I need to prepare my xperia z3 compact to be stock cause i will carry my telephone for repair my glass.
I had tried to relock the bootloader with flashtool but without success.
When i click on "BLU" button, there is the popup, i power off my z3c and then i plug the usb with the volume button down pressed. The pop up with the instructions disappear for 2 seconds and device seems connected.
But after 2 seconds apear another popup:

}
I've tried to plug the usb cable when i press the menu button (power button, yes?) but device remain powered off and no changement on flashtool.
What is wrong?
Another question: after (i hope) bootloader relocked, how can i restore the drm keys and how can i have a full stock device?
Thank you so much and sorry for my bad english sometimes...
EDITED:
Guys, i am so confused, my bad: i have never unlock the bootloader, so for this i can't reblock it...
So sorry guys

Hiya, when I flash using that boot.img, my phone goes into a restart loop and I have to reflash firmware to have it functional again, losing CWM in the process. Is there another .img file I should be using? I've used both this method and the command line, both causing the same issue, so it's got to be this particular image. Or does this image only work with this firmware? I am updating to 5.1.1....26.

No way to relock bootloader on 6.0 at Z3+ Ivy

Hello guys, I tried to go back to stock today. I relocked the BL using flash tool and flashed 23.5.A.1.291 from https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/list-stock-firmwares-d5803-d5833-t2906706. After that the phone stucks in the Blue-wave starting animation.
Any hints how to get this work? I also like to patch the DRM fix. When should I do that?
Edit: Never mind: Just forgot to wipe appslog in Flashtool ^^

TWRP is an open source, community project. TWRP development is done by roughly 4 people at this point. We also have a large support community with many people who are willing to answer questions and help people with their devices either through our IRC channel or on forums like xda-developers.
Team Win was originally formed to work on porting WiMAX to CM7 for the HTC EVO 4G. After our work on the EVO 4G we wanted to work on a project that would work on more devices than just the EVO 4G and we settled on working on a recovery. Today TWRP is the leading custom recovery for Android phones.
A custom recovery is used for installing custom software on your device. This custom software can include smaller modifications like rooting your device or even replacing the firmware of the device with a completely custom “ROM” like OmniROM
You can find the source code for TWRP at github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/
Code:
[SIZE="3"] * Your warranty is now void.
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.[/SIZE]

Just got my phone yesterday. Will first check and test hardware and decide if something is amiss so that I can return it.
Then I will try your work. I am so relieved to have a custom recovery and root is available for this handset.
Till now been using only and only HTC since ten years....
This is a kind of 'backup' piece.
Looking forward to a custom ROM ...because though there is no junk OEM installs ...there is only around 4 GB internal memory available.
Thanks Anurag.

Semi-CM ROM on the Way

Anurag, it would be awesome if yunique gets full cm rom. Semi-cm rom is good but still lot of bugs like the stock rom. Hope you will be working for it and we get it soon.

I'm having a bit of an issue which i hope one of you can help.
I got the phone today, everything was working, so I decided to Unlock and install TWRP
everything went good
but when I pressed Volume Up + Volume Down + Power
The phone just stays on black screen
I get no ADB or FASTBOOT anymore
PC detects some "QHUSB_BULK" device
I can't turn it off, it won't respond to anything
did i just kill it by install TWRP ?

On the black screen you get fastboot mode. On pc, you need to install the drivers. Google qhusb_bulk drivers installation and follow the instructions. After installing the drivers, you will get fastboot and adb.
Installing custom recovery doesn't affect this.

However, after pressing the Power Button for atleast 15 sec, the phone decided to turn on
So I was able to flash CWM and then TWRP and installed CM 12.1 :silly:

You may not access adb after doing tha, but fastboot is available. You can connect to pc and install stock firmware by doing that.
Restart your phone into fastboot and check if the pc is showing you same "qhsbulk_usb" device. Also tell me the version of your pc windows.

Hey dude,
Thanks for the recovery and fabulous work.. However I am having some trouble with it. Whenever I am trying to flash a CM Nightly, It keeps on failing Saying this package is for device Yunique and this device is YU4711!! Just dosen't allow me to flash. I have unchecked signature verification. I have attached the log with this post, would you be so kind as to please look into it and let me know?
Cheers!
EDIT:
You can take a look at this ongoing thread on CyanogenMod forum to get the full picture of the issue I am facing.

thats because this recovery is NOT for your device! there are 2 things you must check:
CHECK THEM CAREFULLY OR YOU GET A HARDBRICK
1. are all partitions set correct in recovery? /system /data /cache and /boot ?
2. why you use this recovery and not your own? us there a recovery for your phone?
if you are 100% sure partitions are set correctly.... then do the following ON YOUR OWN RISK :
go to advanced-> terminal
there enter:
setprop ro.product.device YUNIQUE
setprop ro.build.product YUNIQUE
then try to flash the rom.... like i said above be 100% carefully because if partitions are seted wrong you may get a hardbrick!!!
btw (to the dev) the terminal gets flooded by a mtp error

What do you mean? In section "format" appear:
validation start stop
auto format flash
manual format flash
auto format flag
format whole flash
format whole except bootloader
I tried the 2 last options and appear the same 5000 error

you have 2 errors : 1 for auth and 1 for fast-start up. The first come because you don't hold good volume down and volume up the second can come for the partitions damaged.
Use volume down ad volume up and choose format whole except bootloader". Try this.

may i ask you how much cost to repair meizu mx4 in Italy ?
P.S. your instruction work because you have/had unlocked boot-loader and thats why you can easily install any firmware .. meanwhile me and other users who have locked bootloader from the factory can not install any of those firmware .. we can't even flash firmware via sp flash tool because MEIZU locked our phones in the factory .

[SOLVED] i think i have unlocked my bootloader, am i able to install a recovery already?

hi there! first time posting, hope i wont break any rule.
so, my "issue" here is that when i unlocked the bootloader about 12 hours ago i did not have any alert or timestamp to follow until the time when the bootloader closes or something.
a bit of context: as far as i know once the bootloader its unlocked there should have been a timestamp at the mi unlock program saying how many hours will it take to do some kind of evaluation, so, if that proceeds correctly the bootloader would be unlocked. i did not have that timestamp thing.
in fact i checked the developer settings after the reset and the mi lock option shows an unlocked icon.
Now, with all that being said, am i able to install a recovery like twrp? should i wait for a week as i have watched at a couple of tutorials?
thanks in advance and have a nice day!

C'mon. Where did you read about 'evaluation'. Do you expect some men in black coming to your house to do inspection?!
Usually when you applied for unlocking the Bootloader, you had to be notified to wait 168 hours = 7 days before proceeding. That's the only 'timestamp'. And at any time in between, it would tell you how many hours have remained to wait
If you followed the proper procedure (instructions about unlocking bootloders for Xiaomi phones can be found everywhere, incl. here also on XDA), your Bootloader should be unlocked now.
Btw, while unlocking, the phone had to do a factory reset (and you could not miss that?!)
You can install ADB and Fastboot package to your PC (google if needed what/how/where - again, instructions are everywhere), connect your phone to PC, boot to Fastboot and execute from the PC:
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot oem device-info
First command must give you the id of your phone (confirming that fastboot connection, drivers and everything are ok)
Second command will give you status of your Bootloder, like:
Code:
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
Edit: It was 2+ years ago, I do not recall details, but I strictly followed one of the guides like below, and I successfully unlocked Bootloader on my Mi 9T with no issues or ambiguities:

Also little mention to this, hope its not an annoying question or something but, am i right about the waiting for a week thing until i do anything else? i mean, (might be a little repetitive here, just trying to feel 100% sure) when i did unlock the bootloader there was not "Wait 168 hours" thing at the gui tool, as i said before i will check the commands you told me about, i dont want to mess things up with my phone tho, thats it.
Again, thanks a lot for your quick and really helping response, so much appreciated. Have a nice day!

Per your fastboot response, your phone should be already unlocked
Make sure you have enabled Developer options and OEM Unlocking there and try to flash TWRP (download the latest official, from TWRP.me for davinci - assuming you have Xiaomi Mi 9T / Redmi K20):
Download TWRP for davinci
Download TWRP Open Recovery for davinci
dl.twrp.me
Code:
adb wait-for-device devices
PAUSE
adb reboot-bootloader
PAUSE
fastboot devices
PAUSE
fastboot getvar product
PAUSE
fastboot getvar anti
PAUSE
fastboot oem device-info
PAUSE
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.6.0_9-0-davinci.img
PAUSE
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
For every PAUSE, press Enter on the PC (and on adb reboot-bootloader, wait for phone to reboot to Fastboot)
Upon the last command, forcing the phone to reboot to the newly installed TWRP, you will have to enter your Android home-screen unlock pin/password (or draw the pattern if you use it instead of the pin), the same you enter every time when rebooting to Android/system
Without that, TWRP cannot read (decrypt) Internal memory and Data (and instead of the folders and file names it would show some 'random' garbage)

Ok, im facing a screen at twrp that says "Keep system read only?", should i keep that or just allow modifications? it also has a checkbox saying "never show this screen during boot again", should i assume that twrp will ask me this every time i access it?
Edit: I just allowed it, should i do something else or am i ready to install any rom i want?

To install a ROM you need to enable modifications
If you are already going to install a custom ROM, you are on your own now, you must know which ROM you are installing and how, etc - and be prepared for unbricking if things go wrong
E.g. upon installing a ROM and BEFORE rebooting to system you will HAVE TO Format Data (not just Wipe Data) and Wipe Cache while still in TWRP, before rebooting to system - without that you will have troubles with the new ROM
Due to that formatting, "never show this screen during boot again" will have no effect (whatever TWRP saved this time to Internal memory will be wiped)
