Hello everyone. Today I was doing nothing and went to check if the Xperia M4 Aqua was in the list of devices on the sony teaches unlock the bootloader. But it was not, so I tried for the Xperia T2 Ultra Dual, but the part of the device's IMEI I put my Xperia M4 Aqua Dual and I received my unlock code. My question is, if I type "fastboot oem unlock -i 0x0fce 0x <my unlock code>" the device will unlock? I thought I'd try, but my device had problems some time ago and the guarantee resolved, but I'm not very confident. Anyone tried this? Did it work?
Service info> configuration> bootloader unlock allowed: yes
Thank you.

I get "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)" but for someone else it works... What is the error in your case?

I got the same error. I'd tried using my unlock code and using flash tool also, but I'd received the same error in both methods.
I also get the same error with both methods although it says unlock allowed = true. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
Where do I find my unlock code?

This new security implemented in devices after 12W11 makes the test point method almost impossible to use. Your situation is aggravated by the "bootloader unlock allowed: no", which "disables" fastboot. Some users reported that this status is related to the trim area of the phone, but no solution is yet available.
Sometimes, unlocking SIM restrictions changes the status from "no" to "yes", but most times remains unchanged.
I guess that only professional tools can do the job.

I can confirm,bootloader is unlockable by two ways.
1. Replacing motherboard
2. Replacing bootloader
3. Modifying TA with mods and then unlock it with S1 server with will calculate new sign key,this could only work if S1 server does not signed TA to work.

Hey everyone,
So I've been having a problem with my Z Ultra that I haven't been able to solve for a number of weeks now.
The service menu on my C6833 specifically says that the bootloader is unlockable, as shown here:
(imgur) com/OO9549 (sorry, XDA won't let me post links yet. ><)
However, when I try unlocking using Sony's official instructions (and using FlashTool) - I get the following:
fastboot -i 0x0ffce oem unlock 0x(my key here)
...
FAILED (remote: Command did not succeed)
finished. total time: 0.027s
I've copied/pasted the key, I've typed it out manually, they all get me the same error. I'm running Windows 8.1 (finally managed to get the drivers installed), yet this also happened on a Windows 7 machine. I've been racking my brain, but I can't find ANYTHING that'll help. The last time I tried, I gave up trying to unlock the bootloader and installed the DualRecovery for locked bootloaders, which ended up bricking my phone and I had to flash back to stock.
Help! I just want to be able to install custom roms again! D:
Hmm, that's strange. I've googled a bit and you're not the first xperia owner with this issue. Some say that updating or re-flashing the ROM will fix it. Which version are you running?

I've re-flashed the ROM a few times on different versions. I'm currently on 4.2.2 - 14.1.B.2.257.

I had the same problem when I tried to unlock.
Tried 5 times and then was finally successful. Ensure that you have typed out the commands correctly. Don't copy and paste as that wont work.
Are you getting the same error in Flashtool?

I can't be sure as it was 3/4 months ago. Kept having issues, and I gave up. Then came back and after many attempts it worked. It was incorrect commands i was typing. 0 or O may have been the problem, or no space where they should be one.
If it says command failed then it sounds like you have the command correct, but the key is incorrect or the format of your input after the command is incorrect.
Also... are you rooted? Root first then try agian

I have copied/pasted, as well as typing out the commands. This has happened with Flashtool as well as in the command prompt.
And the phone is rooted.
EDIT:
I figured out the problem. I ended up using flashtool for the whole process. Windows 8.1's Driver Signature Verification NEEDS to be turned off. I ended up getting a new unlock code from Sony and that worked.

Hi Mandersoon,
I am in same problem and do you have any link or email to get new Unlock code from sony?
Thanks.
Encountered this on my first try. Then on the second attempt, it went through.
i had the same problem, it said "FAILED (remote: Incorrect format for unlock data. Should be on the form "0x)" so I did exactly as it said - added "0x" before my code and it worked!
I just removed "0x" from the unlock code given by sony, it worked like a charm. :good:
I dont know why.

can you please share the code i cant understand where to add 0x. i am facing the same issue. reply ASAP
Do not share the code/key. That's your unique key.
@psylbaba: it says "added "0x" before my code", so I assume he means 0x in front of the key when you're unlocking in Flashtool.
I just.....removed 0x and the <> in my code and it worked like a charm. Curious. (XZ1 user here)
Hi, found this thread when I was trying to unlock a Xperia z2, for me worked removing only the <> like this: fastboot oem unlock 0x"CODE"
Right click, administrator mode
hello sir. i just want to ask why i cannot unlock again the bootloader of my device(xperia z2)?
here is the code i putted on adb command prompt btw.

check bootloader unlock status.
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 if it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.
I think your bootloader cannot be unlocked.There is someway to unlock that type of bootloader but i cant remember now.Search it and reply please
But he says again. So I guess he had unlocked it then relocked it and now wants to unlock it again.

Check on another computer.
Request unlock token again from Sony. It might have been corrupted.
Close antivirus software.
All of these
When you go to the service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*) and check the bootloader status, does it say "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes" or does it say "Bootloader unlocked: Yes"?
If it is the second one it is already unlocked, and that's the only reason I can see it keep failing.

You need to try ;
-Try in another pc
-Connect phone to other usb port
-Reinstall adb and flashtool drivers
-Try with flashtool
We have tried plenty of ways around this today and can't figure out reason why it has done this

Sorry, but you're ****ing out of luck. Nokia ****ing dead-locked their phones, and there's no way to unlock them. Next time, go buy another phone from another OEM instead of this ****ing one.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-do-i-unlock-the-bootloader-for-nokia-x10.4323507/ I've also asked a similar question to yours before, and...People told me that there's no ways to unlock those new Nokia phones' bootloaders anymore. You can try contacting their customer support, but I don't think it will work. I contacted them before so I can unlock my Nokia X10's bootloader, but they just kept dodging my question and sent some automated answers instead

Wow i didn't think this thread is gonna get revived in a year.
Well i did contact Hdm but exactly like you staded they used security as an excuse so i wasn't able to unlock the bootloader.
My phone still works but when it breaks i will switch over to smasung because bootloader unlock there is very easy.

well, here's some news for hoping: Hikari_Calyx acquired a few prototype units of HMD/Nokia phones (some of which look suspiciously similar to the Nokia X10/20), and with cases like this (he extracted a prototype ABL image for bootloader unlocking), one can hope that the Nokia X10/20 will be unlocked in the same way as the XR20 (minus the step of acquiring full access to tri-color company's Device Kit, of course, **** that kit)
Hello Everyone,
is there a proper way to unlock the bootloader of the xperia pro-i? The sony webpage doesnt have this model available for the code request, so i'm a bit lost on how to do this. Thanks a lot for your help!
actually figured it out - on the sony site you can simply select the xperia 1 III, enter the imei and it will give you the correct code. Also if you want to relock the bootloader its the same command just with lock: fastboot oem lock 0x[your code]. Hope it helps.

I got a code selecting xperia 1 IV. Threw my valid and some random imeis with the last digits altered at it and it seems to always give the same key (17E1B6ED42D0F719), you could just try that maybe? (at your own risk, I know nothing about this stuff) Haven't been able to use it yet myself, as I have some fastboot driver issues to solve first... xD
