I didn't try it. I'm installing ADB driver right now, but Sony gave me unlock key etc. So I thought I was okay, keep u in touch.
EDIT : I don't know why but my computer is unable to detect JDK, so i can't install the SDK. Anyway, according to this serious french website, Sony opens the bootloader for everyone, so maybe someone can try it.
I don;t think this will be possible for not unlockable devices. Let me know, if it works.
Its the same situation as always. All Sony did was refresh the page. You still need to have an unlock-able bootloader to unlock.
You wasted my time now i must destroy you.. LOL!
Confirming this doesn't work when it says you can't unlock your bootloader. It does give you an unlock code though.
by everyone you should mean people with unlockable devices.
no one has cracked a non unlockable sony bootloader since 2011

And by saying unlockable it means you have to buy the device from the Sony Store !! you can't unlock a sony phone if it's not from their store RIP LockedBootloaders

You lose DRM. So back up TA partition prior to unlocking. A few Sony apps will cease to work if you don't back up and you'll lose warranty in case you want to go back to stock.

Man there is no way (till now) to root Z5 without unlocking bootloader infact all newer phones require unlocking bootloader.
But you can always save the drm keys with amazing tools available for future use.
What would be the reason that I cannot unlock the bootloader? Motorola website says it cannot be obtained
The amazon version (the one with ads) has a non-unlockable bootloader.

Then I'm not sure, maybe it was previously unlocked? I'm just guessing here, could just as well be an error on Motorola's side.

Maybe when I hook to PC, I will run a command to check if it's already unlocked. Isn't it fastboot get oem data?
