Hey All,
I've seen some posts stating that the bootloader for this phone can't be unlocked.
I'm using the E6533 model and wanted to confirm that it is possible.
Just go to this website: http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/ (the official sony one)
Select Xperia Z3 as the model (I know we have the Z4/Z3+ but it still works). Enter your email and click the link they email you.
Insert the IMEI number and they will give you the unlock code. then just run
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock <code>
and it will work.
As a note this WILL wipe your device, so backup anything you may need on it.
Hopefully with this we can get root / twrp built
So TA backup is needed to keep the DRM keys before unlocking the bootloader. Is there a way to back up TA of non-rooted devices? Flashtool doesn't fully support Z3+ yet.
help
Quick question , what to do if you have Unlock allowed: No?
Generally speaking this always meant just what it says... That it's not possible to unlock the bootloader. This was often the case with oem phones. Today it could also mean you have myxperia security activated. If you have log out of that and try again.
Oh and do not activate it after unlocking bootloader, you could brick your device for good!

Make sure you don't have the xperia security software enabled (the find my iPhone equivalent)
It prevents the bootloader from being unlocked. Otherwise it means your carrier disabled the feature
Thanks diemadedrei and ChrisJ951.
It worked, it was the Xperia Security software that was enabled.
Rooting status: unknown
Hello, i tried to unlock my BL from the sony website, but after i flashed the code in my phone, it just restored and now just says rooting status: unknown and also the option of unlock allowed does not even appear! anybody could please help me?
thanks and hello from Mexico!
The z3+ is now selectable on the unlock page officially
@bryantronics: it should say bootloader unlocked yes under rooting status. Generally it should have worked if everything went as described.

Thanks to all, I have tried to change it to "YES" 24 hours
OK so with this recent tidbit of data that a bootloader unlock no could become a yes I am concerned. When I bought the phone it said yes. But no where can I figure out if the DRM keys are a)original b)intact c) working with this present rom. Could anyone tell me so I can be sure that if I resell this item I don't misrepresent this information.
haist i have a same problem for that issue ...until now i can not flash boot img...please resolve this problem...guys plssssss......
i have the same problem i cant flash img due to remoted lock state: unlocked
any updates?
I am suffering the same problems as my colleagues in the previous posts. I cannot get the bootloader unlock, no matter how hard I try:
performed the official Sony way (using minimal adb and fastboot; phone is listed in fastboot devices; "remote: command not allowed")
flashtool64: both with blu manually and by leaving the text file in the registered devices folder (which was found and used for a unlock, which turned out not to be successful).
Sony MyDevices is not activated. Android 5.0.2 (E6533; 28 0 A 8 272 HK)
Do you have any further tips how to open the bootloader?
thx, Benedikt

Unlock bootloader NO
Any solution
i was crashing my head to do it and nothing to it done, and I discovered that the problem was that my xperia was enabled, so I disabled it and finally unlocked the bootloader
I had bootloader unlock allowed: no on latest firmware. I backed to Android 6 a I have bootloader unlock allowed: yes
Here is a tutorial to unlock the bootloader on our Moto X Play: http://www.gammerson.com/2015/08/steps-how-to-unlock-bootloader-of-moto-x-play.html
The warranty is not there after this, is there any way to lock it again without Motorola being able to see that it was unlocked?

The unlocked bootloader warning message can easily be removed too: http://www.droidviews.com/remove-bootloader-unlocked-warning-on-moto-x-and-moto-x-2014/ I tested it and it work on our Moto X Play.
Oops.....completely forgot that this will wipe the phone (as all devices do when unlocking the bootloader).

This will work even if it's a Moto X 2014 logo? I'm a little uneasy in doing this.

If I just remove the message, won't the technical assistance be aware that I unlocked the bootloader?

They already know since you requested the bootloader unlock code. From the terms and conditions:
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES TO ALL UNLOCKED DEVICES EXCEPT FOR DEVELOPER EDITION DEVICES. BY OBTAINING THE UNLOCK CODE FOR THIS DEVICE, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER THE DEVICE'S BOOTLOADER IS SUBSEQUENTLY UNLOCKED OR ITS SOFTWARE OR OPERATING SYSTEM IS MODIFIED, USER AGREES TO WAIVE AND VOID ALL WARRANTIES

Failed to unlock Bootloader. Check "Allow OEM unlock" in Developer Options.
Anyone please help me.
I tried to install the official OTA and something went wrong. The device got stuck into bootloops. I entered into bootloader and decided to unlock it. As adviced by the xda thread i followed the instructions, but after getting the Unique key via Email, when i enter "fastboot unlock OEM UNLOCKKEY", it gives an error saying Failed to unlock Bootloader. Check "Allow OEM unlock" in Developer Options.
I cannot boot my phone.
Please help me.

i recall this problem happening to someone earlier, he solved it by clearing cache and factory wipe from recovery

There is a thread I created for the first timers.
You have to check the option "allow oem unlock" in developer options.
Please check the whole forum for details before doing anything like this.

If you leave it unlocked after rooting then it can make your phone more susceptible to localised threats like someone stealing your phone and re-purposing it or stealing your data from it directly.
But for many the reward outweighs the risks and there are ways to mitigate.
Trying to unlock Moto X Play on Linux by using "fastboot oem get_unlock_data", but it just says waiting for device. I ran "adb devices" and also enable "Allow unlocking device" in the Developer menu. Am I missing something?
Guys,
I have some very noob questions about flashing that I would like to solve :
1) is normal that fastboot connection works only after setting the device for "allow own unlock" and "USB debugging"?
2) I might flashing my devices without unlocking the bootloader? And what about flashing original firmwares from Motorola?
(I ask because my bootloader is locked under status "2")
2) I tried to flash my device and, despite of several "preflashing" errors, my device still showing status 2 on bootloader, but it started showing that "unlocked bootloader warning" when it starts, is that normal? How to solve it?
3) I might flashing an older firmware (update September ) than I already have in my device (December)?
4) what is the function of recovery mode on bootloader ? I

OK...My first and main recommendation is DO NOT start trying to flash, mod, or do anything outside of using the phone as intended yet. These questions show that you have very limited knowledge on these subjects and if you continue as is, you will most likely get yourself into a bind you can't get out of, such as hard bricking your device.
Questions 1 and 4 are Bootloader/Fastboot/Rooting 101 topics. Until you have read up thoroughly on these, please don't think about proceeding. The rest of your questions have been answered here in the forums. I can't stress this enough: RESEARCH, READING, AND READ SOME MORE!!! No one here is obligated to help you fix any mess you get into so you need to be able to help yourself first. If you have attempted to fix an issue, and can give some details on what has been tried, you will find that most likely, there will be some who will step forward to assist, but most will not rehash a full step by step of everything.
Please do not think I am trying to blow you off. I am merely trying to prevent you from creating a problem that cannot be fixed. Having at least a basic working knowledge of how FastBoot, Bootloader, and flashing ROMs work on this device is a must. But I will answer your question 3: Do not under any circumstances try to "downgrade" your stock rom on the phone to a previous security update. This does create major issues.
@Belotto
2. Only upper/the same version of stock rom.
Status code 2 - locked by user. Did you buy used phone?
4. Recovery mode(stock, 3e) is for factory reset f.e.

Just in case you are not aware, having an unlocked bootloader does not prevent you from taking OTA updates. You can just leave it unlocked. The unlocked bootloader warning doesn't bother me so I just ignore it.
If you just wanna get rid of bootloader warning then look at
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...o-remove-unlocked-bootloader-warning-t3201141
Make sure you are on stock(software​ status: offical)
You will recieve the ota
Thanks all you guys.
Despite of some strange things, I could take out the warning logo.
Now, its "oficial", status "2" and no warning. So I can sell it without discussion.
It is valid for Oneplus 5 also

Go lock your bootloader with a custom ROM installed, I beg you. And please don't forget to let me know how that turns out for you and your device.
This was posted in 6T too and pissed off a lot there as well.

Hello all! First post here so if I out this in the wrong section, or do the pst wrong, then feel free to correct me.
I am trying to root my old phone, which is a Moto e4. I tried rooting with mutiple sources (Using a computer) but all of them failed. I concluded through google searches that one reason this may be happening is because the bootloader is still locked, so I started on that.
I got to the command promt, and can locate and identify the device, but when I run the command to unlock the bootloader and get the code for the motorola website, (fastboot oem unlock, and some variations of this command, all the same result.) When I do this, I get the results that I should get, but where the code should be, it says not found. I have my OEM unclokcing checked in Deve settings, and USB debugging is on as well. I am at school right now, so unfornatly I cannot give information on the model number, or anything like that, but I can respond to questions when I can. If I don't even need to unlock the bootloader on the moto e4 to root, then all the better, but I am fine with going through the trouble of unlokcing the bootloader!
Thanks,
Eriith

yes bootloader needs to be unlocked.
