Hi. I flashed 4.0.4 firmware and rooted it with Flashtool, installed CWM but I can't enter into fastboot to flash custom kernel. I hold volume UP key and connect it to the PC with Fastboot mode in Flashtool, but it just starts charging and there is no blue LED.
How to fix this? I have Xperia mini ST15i
Is your Bootloader unlocked?
And are you sure if you Type *#*#7378423#*#* - Service Info - configuration Bootloader unlock(ed) allowed: it is yes?
Sent from my SK17i using xda app-developers app
No, when I enter *#*#7378423#*#* and go Service Info - configuration - Bootloader it says: Bootloader unlock allowed: No
What should I do?
You need to unlock your boorloader in order to get fastboot, in your case you can only unlock it via testpoint
You can only unlock via testpoint method or paid via wotan Server. But not sure how to do this with wotan and sometimes it doesn't work for some people...

Can you unlock phones that are sim-locked with the non paying method?
Maybe with testpoint method, search in General section, there's a tutorial for newbies

if it says = Bootloader unlock allowed : No
you can't unlock your Bootloader with every method check this link
if the bootloader says = Bootloader unlock allowed : Yes
then you can Unlock your Bootloader with Imei or test point method
Finally if Bootloader says = Bootloader unlocked : Yes
your Bootloader already Unlocked

For the sake of this question I have a locked bootloader on a wt19i. The phone is rooted. (It's my friend's phone but I'm voicing a theory). It can't enter fastboot mode and the bootloader unlock status is: not allowed.
Armed with the IMEI number,
If I did a TA backup via Octopus Suite 1.0.3,
Then, (following methods seen in this thread: http://goo.gl/QNKxS Third post down.) to force the phone into fastboot, start a firmware (re)install in PC Companion. During that process the phone will enter fastboot mode. If I stop the process there [in Windows Task Manger], then the phone will get stuck booting only into fastboot mode (until I finish putting firmware .tft back on it).
THEN I use SE Bootloader Unlocking v1.6 {Found here: http://goo.gl/JxDmY }. I give it my IMEI, it gets an unlock code and I connect the phone - in fastboot - and select "Unlock BL" to unlock the bootloader.
Then restore TA, followed by a restore of firmware.
Would this unlock the bootloader or brick the phone?
Corrections and answers welcome.

I checked the thread you were referring to,
the process they are doing there is to access flash mode...
fastboot is completely different, can only be accessed if bootloader is unlocked.
based also on the bootloader unlock status: not allowed, this means phone is network locked, unlocking of bootloader would not work thru available methods in xda.
you would to pay in order to remove the network lock and then unlock bootloader
Would this unlock the bootloader or brick the phone?

Click to collapse
This would not unlock the bootloader,
Brick the phone, not sure, but it would probably wont, good thing you have a backup.
You can always do a flashing of stock firmware thru flashtool or wotanserver.

your bootloader is unlocked.
You can check the state if you boot phone up, open dialer, type *#*#7378423#*#* -> Service Info -> Configuration
Please tell us what it says there, then we can help you

The problem is you tried to use that tool and the moment you have typed your IMEI and pressed get unlock code, you lost your warranty. So you have no warranty anymore!!
Now you will have to desimlock and after that you can just hope fasboot is enabled.
Install flashtool, open the installation folder > drivers and install all drivers for all devices. Install the android sdk (please better look in my signature to see how to set up android sdk and flashtool and replace the usb drivers). Then try to enter fastboot mode like explained in the threads

If it is on stock sony rom go to dialer and type *#*#7378423#*#* -> Service Info -> Configuration and look at the bootloader status. If it says:
Rooting Status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: yes
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or
Rooting Status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: no
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then the bootloader is locked.
If it says:
Rooting Status
Bootloader unlocked: yes
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You guess it? It's unlocked.
To be on the safe site connect the phone in fastboot mode to pc (turn phone off, hold volume up and while holding volume up connect to pc, don't power on, just hold volume up while connecting to pc) and start flashtool.
If flashtools says:
Bootloader Status: Rootable
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it is locked but unlockable.
If flashtool says
Bootloader Status: Rooted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it is unlocked
Or
if you identify using setool2
check the line:
RUNNING S1_EROM VER "(R)xAxxx"
and
LOADER VERSION: "(R)xAxxx"
if you get a capital 'R', it means your bootloader is locked
if you get a small 'r', it's otherwise

@Golimasee first open the Bootloader unlocking tool as administrator (for windows 7&8 just right click on the tool and click on RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR)
after the app opens put in your IMEI, unlock code and after this switch off the phone and hold the Volume up button and connect it to pc through the USB cable and click on Unlock BL​
Hello all... has anyone managed to unlock kate device with official method? i am trying and gets stuck at 50%....
if yes how?
Few days ago search something about 50% bug and it`s seems that till today nobody unlock Kate with official way. Yet here is probably only unofficial method http://en.miui.com/thread-345728-1-1.html Or you can wait till Xiaomi remove this bug.

Hello, I unlocked my kate version the official way. First I unlocked it using unofficial method, but I got the permission to unlock the bootloader. I flashed the "Global Developer" fastboot rom using MIFlash, which locked my bootloader. Then, I rebooted my device into fastboot mode and unlocked it using the MiFlash Unlock tool.

Did you setup Mi account on the device after ROM flashed or just restarted to Fastboot after cleanboot?

Yes, I did setup MI account(the one on which I requested the permission) and synced it once before booting the device into the fastboot mode. Make sure to enable OEM unlock and USB debugging before fastboot.

did u also associate the xiaomi id with the phone under Mi unlock status in dev options?
It is another step which is failing on my device. It says it can't verify the device and ask me to retry after 1 or 2 minutes, forever.

I did not. Just logged in the MI account while setting up the rom on first boot.
I just tried official way to unlock my kate with global developer rom last night and I was very happy that it worked on first attempt.
Hello
How to Relock bootloader for huawei mate 10 lite RNE-L21C185
Thanks
any answer
If it's anything like Mate 10 Pro, get into bootloader using adb or phones physical keys, confirm phone is connected to pc using 'fastboot devices' cmd, then type fastboot oem relock unlock_number. The unlock_number will be the number you used to unlock the bootloader in the first place.
