I wanna share my experience with my locked bootloader.
I tried once to unlock and install a "just 4 unlocked" rom (2 roms actually) but the radio system didn't work (no phone, no wifi, no gps).
I got back by flashtools, i installed a rom 4 locked rom and i tried once more to unlock the BL. I installed CM10.1 and now everything is working perfect!!!
I got just a question 4 you: why does some xperia z has the BL locked while others unlocked?

All Xperia Zs come locked from the factory. Most can be unlocked to flash custom roms. Some are permanently locked because their carriers are iffy (to put it nicely), but those are the minority.
Keep Questions in the Q/A section, not in General.
And No SONY device comes with locked Bootloader always. All are locked by default from the factory. Among which some can be unlocked and some can not because the Carrier.

Ok, but my gadget showed "no in Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status > Bootloader unlock allowed (and in the post about unlock BL they says that if it's "no" the device cannot be unlocked).
Thank you
PS: How can i move the 3d to Q/A ?
That is what I said.
All the Devices are locked bootloader by default.
Bootloader unlock allowed= Yes -- This means you can unlock the bootloader by following regular method.
Bootloader unlock allowed= NO -- This means you can not unlock the bootloader. Because of the Carrier issue i believe.

But mine showed Bootloader unlock allowed= NO but i was able to unlock it after 2 try. I think every one following my procedure might do it.

I think you will always have been able to unlock yours, you just didn't do it right the first time.
So are you saying you have a locked boatloader and can install. CM10????

did you root it and put a different ROM on there? the status might change say no but you can still unlock it. Simply put if first time you boot up your phone and it say Unlock bootloader = NO, then dont try to unlock it. When you root and flash a different rom that status might change to yes but in reality it still a NO

Eventually a right answer.
I was told the same. But i love to risk "playing" with my gadgets. So when i bought the xperia z through a carrier I saw the first time i boot up that the phone Unlock bootloader = NO (about 5 minutes after i bought it from the shop, so it was "original as the carrier made it).
I didn't care it and i tried to unlock. I installed a unlocked bootloader and rom and i had all that problems with the radio stuff . But the second time, after i recovered it by flashtool and a sw from sony (i don't remember the name) I was allowed to unlock it and install unlocked stuff. Now I am with Paranoid and I am so happy

same here... unlock it. install all the unlocked stuff. Radio might don't work. . Get ur phone back by flashtool and sony sw (i don't rememmber the name). The sony software will say u after a while u r not able to recover the phone cuz you are using some some software that is not sony. Don't worry and install another time a rom unbranded by flashtool.
now unlock the phone again and install everything u might like
There is only a problem with the twrp recovery, so use only the other one

Very interesting... Im waiting the confirmation from sony to pick up my phone without cost to change the fastboot to yes, but if this is true and someone else could confirm this method il do it tonight!!!!

I think if you want others to try what you've done, (and it is interesting if we can unlock bootloaders this way)
then you may want to highlight which steps you did in more detail.
Which roms did you try to flash that resorted in no radio functions?
which rom did you try to flash with flashtool? which version of flashtool as well?
Did you do anything else?
I somehow doubt engineers would make an oversight as big as this one.
But fingers crossed nevertheless.
+1 for a detailed description of the steps you took. This could be huge!

Indeed, this move would make the XZ much more attractive for buyers which have the bootloader locked from the carrier.

this must be the first topic on xperia z´s forum hehehe.
There appears to be no discussion thread about root for the Z4/Z3+, so I thought one was in order.
I'm currently about as useful as a snooze button on a smoke alarm in terms of obtaining root. I'm curious - is there any development going on to root our devices? I'd love to donate and what not to possibly speed it up.
Let's talk!
BL unlock is not listing this device on Sony open devices
Flashtool from androxyde doesn't have the device listed as well, so I doubt BL could be unlocked.
Regarding development
I managed to unpack the blog_fs FILE'S from Emma so there we have the kernel.sin maybe we could unpack it with Android image kitchen, but I didn't succeed, Android magic was missing or something like that!?
If that could be possible, then we could repack twrp radish with zimage of the kernel.sin and perhaps have a working recovery maybe as FOTAkernel.
But that's just wishful thinking
First we need unlocked BL
And then we also have all the loss of DRM keys. TA partition and all that also needs to be in place, unless we're willing sacrifice a bit hehe...

You can unlock your device by chosing Z3... No need for Z4/Z3+ on Sony Unlock page.

Even with a bootloader unlock, is there any custom recovery for the Z3+?
Sent from my Xperia Z3+ E6553
Did any one try to unlock their Sony Xperia Z+ yet? Or any one try to see if it is unlockable by following steps.
You can check if it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your device in the service menu by following the steps below:In your device, open the dialler and enter*#*#7378423#*#**to access the service menu.Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.
I am going to build a custom recovery incase the bootloader unlock allow says Yes..
Update: Yes it is allow to unlock the bootloader. I am waiting for my device then start working

By right if the bootloader unlock is stated as not allowed, you can only root your phone through an exploit. Other xperia phones exploits have been found (like my previous z2, i rooted it without unlocking the bootloader), I most certainly do hope one can be found for z3+ as it would allow all the DRM stuff to be backed up and its "neater" imo.
Otherwise, if no exploit is found, then no, you would not be able to root without unlocked the bootloader to install a custom rom.
However please check if you signed in to myXperia service. If you did, you just need to sign out and reboot, then your status would be back to allowed. That is only if originally the bootloader is allowed to be unlocked.

At this point, I see no mention of anyone working on any sort of exploit for the Z3+, this is a bit disheartening! I'm considering the new OnePlus device at this point since I'm sure root will not be an issue for that phone. It'd be a shame if it came to that since I love the feel of the Z3+

Did you activate your MyXperia app? If so, this could result in your phone indicating that the bootloader is not unlockable, even though it actually is. If you didn't activate this app and it still says no, then yes, it's not unlockable and you will not be able to install custom kernels / ROMs. Note that custom recovery can still work on rooted phones with locked bootloaders.

i looked into my applications and did not see a myxperia app. Just xperia lounge. I did install the current firmware using sony pc companion.
I am new to xperia. I had htc one and google nexus phones prior to this that I have rooted and such. I am experience but not in xperia. Any suggestions for rooting that you know works>
uhm where is this myXperia app you guys are talking about? I searched the app store and the phone and cannot find it. Under settings, there is a "Xperia Connectivity" section, but no option to sing out.
Googling the app did give some results and I did land on this page, which I was logged into. I logged out and rebooted the phone, still says "No" to unlock bootloader.
Don't buy this crappy xioami.
Nowadays xioami LOCKed BOOTLOADERs
Start from RN3 RNP Mi4c
The rest will be lock too.......VIA STOCK ROM
Hugo Barra is smart
We are stupid includes me. Bcos I bought new RN3
then only learned that bootloader is LOCKed
Too much hustle to unlock.
For so many many days past by waiting for unlock code
So what, just apply for unlock and wait. For this price of hardware it's worth it. I hope there will be some reasonable custom AOSP rom.

They locked the bootloader for a reason. There has already been reports of Xiaomi refusing to provide an unlock code to users.
Most roms for Xiaomi devices are ports at best with the one exception being the one CM supports. Development teams know this, and on top of their constant gpl violations leave a bad taste.
Don't get me wrong. I hope things work out but in ref to aosp based development there won't really be much
Can anyone tell me what is bootloader for?, why is it important to unlock it?

Nope, rooting the device has nothing to do with the locked bootloader. But I am not entirely sure if there is a way to root the redmi 3 just yet.
Unlocked bootloader is needed for:
- Custom roms that don't use the stock kernel
- Custom kernels
- Non stock-based roms (CM for example)

I am a bit confused about this locking. On most phones i had i initially booted them into fastboot then flashed TWRP then via TWRP flashed custom roms (zips). So which part did they lock ? Fastboot so you cannot flash TWRP or the bootloader itself(TWRP,CWM,etc) (theoretically you could flash it but not access) ? Thanks for clarifying for me.

You can't flash anything at will with it locked. Even in Fastboot it won't work unless signed by Xiaomi. And they are not giving everyone unlock codes. Mainly if you mention you want to remove miui. Also if you are not active in their forums they won't do it.

Nonsense. You can flash (unofficial) full roms using fastboot in download mode, no problem at all...
Only flashing in fastboot mode (recoverys, xposed, custom kernels) wouldn't work with locked bl.
I also don't like the idea of locked bootloaders but, well... you do it once, use unlocked roms and are happy with it. not big of a deal, so stop whining...
Had it on my Razr i, now on the Redmi 3. Got my approval for it after not even 2 weeks at the beginning of february, now waiting for the suitable dev rom to unlock.
Just let it all settle a bit, the device by now is just too fresh out...

Do not buy any device with locked bootloaders (current Huawei e.g.) if you want root or custom ROMs or permanent debloat.
With SONY devices it could also be a good idea to check if you can backup the TA if you ever want to sell the device in "original" software condition - by that time the chance is high that SONY abandoned the device already.

How'd you know the new one would allow bootloader unlock?
It's old thread but maybe it will be helpful. If you see "bootloader unlock allowed: no" then check if my xperia protection is enabled. If enabled then do factory reset and disable it, after that (need unlock with Google account after factory reset) my tablet shows "bootloader unlock allowed: yes".
Hello there,
i hope i am in the correct section. I have purchased a Nokia 6.1 (TA-1050) and i would like to install Lineage OS to use Google/FB as less as possible. If there is a more secute OS, please let me know.
I know about hikaricalyx and techmesto, that i can purchase there a key to unlock my bootlooader. Are those two websites safe to use? I dont know what they do with my IMEI and my serialnumber. Second, can i be sure that they dont install some third party tools in my smartphone while the unlocking process?
This is still quite new for me, sorry if i ask something already asked.
Greetings.

Um paying would be fine, if it is a trusted source.
Look for sources which many people have vouched for it.
I wouldnt buy it but in your case there seems like no choice.
I got my bootloader unlock from hikaricalyx and its very safe and takes only few minutes to unlock the bootloader. If you are aware regarding how to unlock the bootloader then you can only apply for bootloader unlock on your own during which you will be given a command prompt tool which you need to download and run on your pc with your phone connected. This tool will then produce some numbers which you need to provide hikaricalyx and in return he will then inform you the bootloader unlock key which you need to again input in tht tool.
He will not ask for your imei number.
Hello.
I have unlocked my Nokia and installed LineageOS. I used the service from hikaricalyx and it was very easy. I got a lot of help and he was very kind. Even if my phone was unlocked and had some trouble to install LineageOS he helped me. I dont think, that the files we used to unlock my phone was corrupted.
For everyone who wants the files: These are useless for you. Every time you boot your phone, it will generate a random singature. We read this ramdom hash and he signed the unlockfiles with that hash. IF you want to install LineageOS like me, on your Nokia 6 these ~5$ are worth it.
Thank all of you who replied.
I am done with this thread, but i let it open for someone who have simular questions. Sone mod can close it if he want.
