Maybe the guides from others Samsung phone can help you with that, but for this particular phone I think there's nothing on that direction right now.
Perfect tested salution

4. Plug the device in to your computer via USB cable.
5. Open the superboot folder that we just extracted (until you see the folder with fastboot-windows inside it), then hold the shift key down on your computer and right click any blank area.
6. Now, select open command window here.
7. In the command prompt, type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line.
adb-windows reboot bootloader (and wait for the device to reboot) fastboot-windows oem unlock *If it gets stuck at waiting for device here, download and install PDANet on your computer, once installed, unplug then plug the device back in and see if that fixes it.

Is this file some where else without the survey?
Hey guys, sorry for my bad english. After some research I got unlocked my Bootloader on Windows 10.
Here a small guide.
YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID.
Im not responsible for any damage on your devices. Do that on your own risk.
NOTE:!! Your devices will reset all Data and Settings, so do a backup.
1. Go to : http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/ and select Sony Xperia Z5 Compact.
After this you get an E-Mail with an unlock Link.
2. Download Z5 Compact Drivers at : http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/
After you downloaded this, you need to extract the drivers. Now you will find a file named "sa0113adb.inf" rightclick on this and "install".
3. Now Download Android SDK here : http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html "installer_r24.4.1-windows.exe" for Windows Users.
Install Android SDK after downloading. Now Start Android SDK and a list will appear. There you need to Select Google USB Drivers and click on "install".
4. Now you need to download the latest Fastboot Drivers here : http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/fastboot-driver/
Now you need to replace the fastboot driver files with the file in C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver.
(Maybe you need to make all Files and Folders visible to see AppData)
5. Now you need to enable the developer options on your device. Thats easy, go into Settings and scroll down till "about my phone" then tap 10-20 times on "build number" after that you unlocked the developer options. Go into the developer options now and enable "usb debugging" and "oem unlock".
6. Now put your device into adb-mode. (Hold down "volume up" and put usb cable into device and computer). After that you need to install the adb drivers by going in the Windows-Device-Manager and right click on the unknown adb device. Select update driver and then search for the driver-software. Now select driver from a list. Now Search for something like "Sony sa0113adb" and install.
7. After that you need to open CMD.exe as Administrator, and type "cd C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"
Now you are in that folder.... Now type fastboot devices. When a device is listed you are ready to type your unlock code described on the website. (The link you got by E-Mail from Sony).
Now you can check the status here:
(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.)
Well thats it. Sorry again for my bad english .....
NOTE:!! Your devices will reset all Data and Settings, so do a backup.
what is the comand for relock?
Hi,
There isn't Z5 Compact in the device list (It's up to Z4 Tablet Wifi)
How can I select Z5 Compact ?
EDIT : I can't even see any phone, only tablets, weird..

No idea...I can't find any phones either.
EDIT: Maybe you could just try http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/email-verification/ directly
Thanks, I tried that yesterday and it said it was for Xperia Z4 Tablet Wifi but after I type my IMEI, it showed a code and I finally unlocked my BL
It seems that Sony has stopped its bootloader-unlock support for Xperia phones.
Sent from my E5823 using XDA-Developers mobile app
But you still can unlock it, even if it showed Xperia Z4 Tablet Wifi.
I did it yesterday
I found that, when your phone is dual sim, you have to use IMEI 2 to get the unlock code.....that's funny XD
Hello All!
I was disappointed when I received my Huawei Mate SE BND-L34 (USA) 2 days ago that I could not unlock the bootloader because Huawei removed the unlock page from their website. Even after talking to support via live chat and email I could not get any help from them. So I decided to do my own research.
DISCLAIMER: THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE! THIS INCLUDES INTERNAL STORAGE! I am not responsible for any lost data or bricked devices!
Getting your Unlock Code:
1. First you need to go to https://www.dc-unlocker.com/ and register for an account. Do not download their software!
2. Instead download the software at https://hcu-client.com/
3. Install drivers via HiSuite if you have not.
4. View the supported devices page. Now the Mate SE is not listed as a supported device but it did work for my device (Mate SE).
5. Make sure your drivers are installed via HiSuite.
6. Now go into https://www.dc-unlocker.com/buy and buy 4 credits. This is needed for the software. Cost is 4 EUR ($5)
7. Launch HCU-Client and connect your phone.
8. Open the dialer on your phone and enter *#*#2846579#*#* select “Background settings”, “USB ports settings”, “Manufacture mode”.
9. Now in HCU Client log into your account (Check your Email for info) click Read Phone Info.
10. Go to Unlock tab and choose Read Bootloader code. It says it will wipe your device but mine did not get wiped until I unlocked my phone. This will take a couple of minutes. Watch the right terminal window. It should spit out your code.
Using your Unlock Code:
1. Turn off your phone, Boot your device into Fastboot mode with Vol down and power button.
2. CD to where you downloaded ADB/Fastboot Tools
Run these commands when inside ADB tools directory
a) fastboot devices. (your device should bee listed. If not reinstall drivers/reboot)
b) fastboot oem get-bootinfo (just to confirm everything is detected correctly
c) fastboot oem unlock <your_unlock_code>
3. Acknowledge the prompt on your phone. Device will be WIPED!
4. Once the wipe finishes it will take several minutes for phone to boot up. Do not panic. Once you See Huawei logo you are OK!
To root your Mate SE and Install TWRP follow this guide: http://www.desinerd.co.in/how-to-huawei-mate-se-root-twrp-recovery/
Do not use the Magisk Zip in that post. Instead grab it from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

dude thanks so much it worked!!! on the honor 7x!!
EDIT: To my surprise it actually worked
Anyone else having antivirus flagging the HCU exe as having a virus?

The tool is safe. It's a false positive. If you are unsure Go read the HCU-Client forums.
Its your decision but I haven't noticed any ill effects. You can always run it in a VM.
Ok. Thanks

Stupid program won't run on my computer. Saw someone else on the dc-unlocker forums with the same problem. They linked a version to download but the link is dead now. I think this phone really wants to be returned.

You can try DC-locker instead of HCU-Client. I just find HCU easier to use.
Are u on Windows 10? If not make sure you have latest. NET Framework installed. Try running in compatibility mode.

Yes, Win 10. DC-unlocker link in the Android app shows 7x BND-L34 as compatible but it's not in the drop-down box of the Windows app and doesn't get autodetected .

Yea only thing I can think of is make sure latest .Net framework is installed and latest Visual C. Maybe try compatibility mode
The DC-unlocker problems were my fault. After getting the drivers right, it detected my phone and pulled the unlock code.

Logged into this account for the first time in YEARS just to say thanks a lot for this. I was pretty gutted when I found that Huawei removed their Unlock link and refused to give codes to anyone even via support emails.
I was super hesitant to try this though, I'll admit. Spending money on what (to me) looked like a shady site was the biggest red flag. But decided to bite the bullet and do it.
The only issue I had was that my phone DID get shut down after the bootloader code was read, which caused ADB not to be able to read my phone (adb devices) for some reason. So I had to turn it on, reboot fastboot via adb and then proceed from there. But that was the only issue I had.
So again, thanks a ton for this. :good:
Got problems making this work. Hope you don't mind helping an Android newbie.
Step 7 is to "start client". On Windows 10 I had to disable the virus scan just to see the HCU.exe from the extract. When I click on it I get "This application was unable to start correctly 0xc150002". Ideas? A previous step is to install drivers. I downloaded HiSuite and and made sure I could connect to my device. Does "installing drivers" mean something more ? Thanks.

Nope you are good on the drivers. Nothing else to be done.
As for the error code I recommend disable your Anti-virus and the built in Windows Defender and then re-downloading the program. If it still doesn't work you can try the DC-unlocker program instead of HCU-Client. It should work I just have only used HCU-CLIENT.

Finally got my unlock code! Many thanks to Sandman-007 and foltz61 for their help.
Following instructions from #1 of this thread, I could not (like others here) get the hcu client working on my PC. So here are my instructions on using DC-unlocker instead:
1. Go to consumer.huawei.com / minisite / HiSuite_en/
Download HiSuite. Install it on PC. Connect Phone to PC. In HiSuite click connect to my device.
(May have to enter Developper Mode on Phone: Settings>About Phone>Tap 7 times on your Build number. Enable USB debugging.)
2. Go to www .dc-unlocker .com / buy
Item : New user account, User name you want, Your email, Credits: 4
They will send you a email with a username and password you will need later ...
3. Go to www .dc-unlocker .com / downloads
Download DC-unlocker client to PC. Install it.
4. With Phone still connect to PC, use phone dialer enter *#*#2846579#*#*
Select “Background settings”, “USB ports settings”, “Manufacture mode”.
5. Now start the dc-unlocker client on the PC.
Enter: Huawei Phones (not modems) + Auto Detect + Click Search Icon. You will then see some on your phone info.
6. Click on "Server" and enter your username and password from the email you got at step 2.
7. Click on "Unlocking" + Read Boodloading code. Voila! Copy paste your code somewhere safe!
After giving me my code, my phone shut down. I just re-started it and all was fine.
(To get a better idea, the youtube video v=Lgph755EbKEcovers steps 4 to 7.)
I just did some searching, in my backup images. And I found the unlock code inside the "splash2.img"
/dev/block/mmcblk0p19
Still looking into possible ways to read this from inside the phone, and from locked phone too.
NVM, I think splash2.img is just some type of log file
Is there any other way to get the bootloader unlock code? I tried to buy credits and they refunded me because my paypal is not verified.
Or does anybody out there have a license and would be willing to run my IMEI to get my code? I am at a loss of what else to do.

Why don't you just verify your PayPal or use a credit card?
Someone can't just run your IMEI to get an unlock code. Only way is if they reprogram their device to use your IMEI. That's illegal.
You should NEVER under any circumstances just hand it out. Especially with this tool. Someone with this tool could steal your IMEI and knock you offline.

B) Go back to stock from a custom ROM with a HTC One M8
- Either restore your TWRP backup with TWRP recovery
- Or restore a community TWRP backup with TWRP recovery (https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860 see posts 2 & 3)
### With S-ON and keep device Unlocked
To find suitable backup for device, boot phone in Bootloader mode (Power + Volume-)
Look at your hboot version (hboot 3.19.0000 is most frequent)
Launch a fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Make sure IMEI is a valid number.
Look at your CID and MID values. Try to find exact same TWRP backups for your phone.
### Flash only exact model versions.
Then wipe all partitions and restore the correct TWRP backup an angel made for you.
- If TWRP restore fails, start with these posts :
You will need a Rom Update Utility (RUU) for your exact model version.
This is compatible with S-ON, will need to relock your Bootloader (save your Unlock_code.bin +++) and need original recovery

Hi, I updated pack with latest Magisk root version and checked download links.
For Windows 10 users, use HTC drivers version v4.17.0.001 - Download them from here - Zippyshare.com - HTC Mobile Driver v4.17.0.001.exe
Everything else works just fine. @djibe89 thank you.

Hi,
I'm at the stage of trying to unlock the bootloader. The phone restarts in fastboot mode but when i type in fastboot devices nothing happens.
and then if i skip that and type get_identifier_token. the return is waiting for any devices. and nothing happens.
What have I missed?
Thanks
i've since been able to get past this stage. I used htc driver 4.17. I'm now stuck on the token. cmd prompt keeps saying cannot load the file no such file or directory. but i'm so sure i have the file in the right folder

Hi, when
Code:
fastboot devices
doesn't return anything, it means there is an USB driver problem.
You'll have to try to fix from Windows Device Manager.

This detailed step-by-step guide helps you transform your Sony Xperia SP to a powerful one with Android 10 Q.
To make sure you are with a Xperia SP / C5303 / huashan:
On the smartphone, go to Settings > About phone. Check that the "Model number" is correct : C5303.

In the follow menu, go to Service info > Configuration > Rooting status.
Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes
If it is set on No, you cannot update your device. You can quit this tutorial and cry, you will never unlock it.

We need to check phone is not SIMlocked.

Then type
Code:
cd /d thePathToFlashFolder
(ex: E:\root\djibe Sony Xperia SP\flash)

I respect your diligence. :good:
You have already created 17 guides of this type.
The devil is in the details.
Do you have all these 17 devices and have gone through step by step or have you created the guides based on the information collected from the XDA?
.
Hi @ze7zez.
Good question !
I started with my own Nexus One. It was horrible, XDA is not for mega noobs.
It then took me one whole week to flash Asus transformer Prime from my brother-in-law. Then I started writing detailed tuto for Android.
I hacked my parents phones and mine. But I had too few devices in my hands.
So recently I discovered my tutorials were read by 500.000+ users, so I think it is useful.
Now I buy second hands phones, 36€ for this Xperia SP (the first one was 30€ and Bootloader unlockable )
It took me the day (today) to write this tuto. I made screenshots for the first time and will publish it on ifixit.
I gonna sell both Xperia SP and I want a Nexus 4 now
Need some guidance
Hi, I am coming back to this device after almost 6 years. I was well versed in flashing ROMs etc then but I seem to have lost most of that knowledge now. Last I used this device, I had already rooted it, unlocked bootloader, IIRC changed the kernel, put a custom ROM "CM 11-20150901-SNAPSHOT......." As I recall I also installed both TWRP and CWM recoveries, made a backup of Stock ROM. The thing is I remember having issues with booting into either recovery which I some how corrected, but it again started giving me problems. Right now I can't boot into either of the recovery with either Power+Volume UP/Down, after the Sony logo the screen just remains black. I have to restart the phone with restart button in the back panel. Can you please guide me as to how to proceed. I want to get to this latest build but I can't even get into recovery. Thanks in advance.
Hi @shalabhvickysom, you can activate Developer Options > then Android Debug Bridge ADB.
Then use a computer and a terminal: adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot recovery.
Keep us informed.
