Root and bootloader unlock discussions

Because "Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is that your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting. ", I feel this needs it's own thread instead of this one oem-unlock-bootloader-preserving-drm, which was originally discussing DRM warranty.
I want to discuss if it is possible and how it would be done. It is not yet listed on Sony's webpage with phone and other devices which support unlock bootloader. I will try to root and unlock bootloader this weekend, I will try using the same method as for z3c.

i'm on a weekend trip and will try to root my z5c on sunday evening or monday. a smartphone without adaway, titanium backup etc. is crap.
feedback about your success would be nice.

For backup from my old Z3C i use with success Helim app
Hispanico

I need some help with this one. I was able to to do oem unlock but my phone reset when I started it again.
I am also tempted to flash the recovery with ClockWorkMod for Z3C but not without a way to revert it. Anyone got any ideas for how to do that?

I don't know if you can do this in Xperias. But in Nexus devices you can boot (without flash) a recovery.
For instance:
fastboot boot Clockworkmod.img
However, I would just wait for an official custom recovery for the Z5C.

how did you get the oem code, since the device isn't listed on sony dev bootloader unlock side yet

Sony now lists the Z5 (not compact, but should apply the same way) on their unlocking

As an FYI
Sony now lists the Z5 (not compact, but should apply the same way) on their unlocking site:
"To be able to unlock your Xperia Z5, prepare it by following these steps:
1.Go into Settings > About phone and tap seven times on Build number to enable developer options.
2.From Settings, go into Developer options and enable OEM unlocking"
So it looks like this is all that´s required, no more code requesting process like on previous devices. However, nothing specific mentioned on the DRM aspect.. I have checked the option, still had "myXperia" enabled and all was good. Also, have not seen a difference in Camera quality, but would not bet on it...

but did you root your z5c?

Nope, did not root it, would not know how... would depend on a guide/software posted somewhere here on XDA... And I am not brave enough to brick my phone just yet

I have not yet done it but as soon as they release a recovey ROM, I will try all the old things in case something might work.

I just followed the guide for z3c, it accepted my IMEI. But as already stated, you can now unlock OEM for all z5 models. Here is the link: http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/. I don't know if it worked because when I started my phone again, it rested to it's original state and I had restore from a backup.

I want to try this but as you said, I need a recovery ROM first.

I'm still new to the whole Sony Xperia world, please correct me if I am wrong but would not this be the place to look for ROMs? http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/supported_phones/

These are just the methods to enter the flash mode

Guys help please. When I check in service menu there is ,,bootloader unlockable: NO''
I need to have root. If I use this guide ( http://unlock-bootloader.net/how-to/unlock-bootloader-sony-xperia-z5-compact/ ) it will unlock bootloader? Also, there is NO in service menu but I have code from sony to unlock from their website/email. Help?

If it says bootloader unlock allowed: NO there is absolutely nothing you can do to change it to bootloader unlock allowed:YES it's impossible. Only way is to change your z5 for another one that says bootloader unlock allowed: YES
Having a unlock code from sony won't make any difference either

Possibly but I don't see why anybody would want to do that, because you wouldn't be able to run TWRP, flash a different kernel or anything really.

Yes it works, but I haven't installed a custom recovery yet. No need for as long as there is no good custom rom in my opinion. I'm actually really hoping developers can cook a nice working android 7 rom in the coming weeks.

Yes, there will be a custom ROM, only a matter of time, take a look CM14 bar. But I still want to know whether the recovery can be used?

You unlock operation was done on AOSP?

What?! No on flyme latest firmware. I HAVE DOWNLOADED the recovery it is ready but I don't now a way to check for 100% if it had worked so I don't want to flash it until there is a video or good custom rom. I don't have the cash to take a risk of brick in my phone

Sorry, but I don't know. I tried it with MIUI 8 and it worked. If you try it and confirm if it works then tell me.

Amazing
Could you do it with other Redmi phone aswell, or It is very complicated?

So when I want to flash a Custom Rom like LineageOS 13 or 14
1. I just have to flash a TWRP on the Note 3 Pro and then
2. flash the ROM
3. (maybe) flash SuperSU?
Since this method of unlocking is an unofficial one does one have to flash the special TWRP when one wants to flash a MIUI based ROM?
Thx for the work.

Maybe i can do it but then I need the firmware for the specified phone etc...
I don't really want to start projects with phones that I don't own because i need to test if it works etc... and i don't want to brick other people's phones by my own fault.
I hope you understand.

Yes. You need a special TWRP if you unlocked your bootloader unofficially. For example I always use ZCX TWRP. I can flash any ROM without problem. And if I get stuck at MI logo because my bootloader relocked then I just flash the files with MiFlash and after everything works fine.

If I use this method and install any other rom now. Can I revert back and officially unlock my bootloader in the future? And also will unofficially unlocking cause any problems/hindrance to frequent ROM, Kernel flashing???( As in having to do some special step like replacing some img file everytime I flash a ROM through TWRP???)
TIA

You can easily revert back to stock with flashing an official firmware through MiFlash.
The unofficial unlock doesn't cause any problems. It's just like if you unlocked officially. Maybe you need to reflash this pack everytime you update or install a new rom... I'm not sure but you'll see it anyway.

Press all three buttons (vol up+down +power) it will force reboot the phone and when phone reboots immediately try to boot in fastboot

My Nokia 5 has the same OEM-Unlock developer option as my Nexus 5x.
Never had such a barebones android device, nearly boring

Bootloader becomes unlockable through an option on developer settings, and the pure android approach will help developers

If my bootloader is unlocked, how and where can I get eg. TWRP Recovery for my Nokia 5?

You will have to wait until there is an un/official TWRP released. Which you will surely find here first.

On the Nokia 6 the OEM bootloader unlock button doesn't really work. The bootloader is not really unlocked.
There's also no bootloader unlock in the Nokia 3. < That guy got his XDA account suspended for posting spam crap instead of real stuff.
Probably same with the Nokia 5. Nokia has locked the bootloader down on all of this year's Androids unless anyone can prove otherwise.
If you arrow up out of those topics to the broader Nokia 6, and Nokia 3 Android forums, you will see there's no bootloader unlock, no TWRP recovery, no ROMs, not even any real root.
Remember, if it's not here on XDA it's not real. It will be here first. There's tons of scam/malware websites that will urge you to download crap and promise bootloader unlock and UNICORNS, but don't do it.
EDIT: for the Nokia 6, two days ago someone has CLAIMED to be able to root and install TWRP bypassing the LOCKED DOWN bootloader. It seems complicated and it's not been verified yet as of this date.

i have ported TWRP for Nokia 6, not sure does it work or not as i do not own this particular device
edit: i wouldn't try that TWRP installation method as it says "brush brush method" what ever that even is!? atleast not before someone can actually confirm it works

IIRC someone have a Nokia 6 Chinese using global rom. They flash them in edl mode. So can we use that to bypass the bootloader?

This is the reply that I got from Nokia Care... Conclusion - they don't have a clue.

I was really keen on buying it, and if the phone is not rootable then there is no point in buying it.
hope NOKIA team is reading this and they realize the importance of having an unlockable bootloader.

Nice looking tool.
I'm surprised by the lack of comments on this thread. I'm looking at getting a Pixel 2 5". Is it this easy to just plug in and use this tool to root?

I'm surprised too, I do not know the reason sincerely

neat, been in debate on flashing but it doesnt seem like theres anything besides recovery and kernels. Wonder why the pixels have such a low rom rate. Even my pixel c doesnt have a root/rom option still.

Perhaps because the cost has become excessive? Or maybe because there is no more reason to do modding? There are no more a rom like CyanogenMod

thank you!! :good::good::good::good: i have been hoping for something like this to be released. been missing the nexus toolkit. hopefully its working well. :fingers-crossed:

My OEM unlocking has been greyed out and I haven't been able to unlock bootloader so I can root. Could this help me?

You need to enable oem unlock in developer options and then you will able to unlock your bootloader

If it's greyed out, then u have to do a factory reset. However, it still wont unlock it.
I had the same problem when I was trying to unlock my phone's bootloader, but it failed every time, so I'm just waiting if anyone is able to unlock it.
My phone's (Pixel 2) Android version is 8.1.0 and patch level is March 5, 2018.
Let me know if it works out for you.
Thanks

There was a brief period of time where a bunch of us got our VZW Pixel 2's bootloaders unlocked, the mega thread is here https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/help/maybe-stupid-question-verizon-pixel-2s-t3726294/post74983838#post74983838, but from what I've read the firmware was patched in February that closed this window/loophole. Also carrier unlocked != bootloader unlocked, it just means you can use it on any carrier's network. Has nothing to do with OEM Unlock in Developer Options. Hope that helps.

With the new update a i make a new recovery flasher option for devices with project treble. Test it and told me if it works
