I would like to unlock the bootloader on my phone, but I read that the "Find my phone" function and the fingerprint sensor won't work after unlocking the bootloader.
Can someone confirm or debunk this?
Thanks!
Yes. It works.
Both find my device and fingerprint work after unlock

Hi XDA
I recently acquired a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact, but it seems that the bootloader cannot be unlocked (even after grabbing the code from Sony)
it says that the command isn't allowed, then I saw a post on a forum saying that not every bootloader can be unlocked.
I was wondering, since I have a unlockable* bootloader (which I assume there are ways to unlock it, because lets face it.. is there anything out there thats "locked" and hasn't been cracked into?
Anywho.
I have been to EVERY single "Phone repair / unlock" shop in my town, and none of them know what a bootloader is. So I decided to see if anyone here has managed to unlock their locked* bootloader.
If anyone can shed any light on this, it would be great.
Thank you.

It keeps saying I need to unlock the bootloader but it says when I try
"FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"
This is what I mean.. I can't unlock my bootloader.
Unless I'm missing something?
Anyone?
Have you tried with SONY?
Perhaps the easier solution is to start from SONY itself....

Guys.. it says "Bootloader unlock allowed: No"
Which means I can't use an official way to unlock the bootloader, what I need to know is if theres a different way I can unlock the bootloader. By flashing firmware, a different bootloader or any special utility to unlock the bootloader. Thanks

Anyone able to shed light on this? I really don't wanna have to sell the phone due to the bootloader being locked..
Especially not after scoring 43,000 in Antutu
are there such thing as a custom FTF file I could flash with a locked bootloader?
Hi,
I was on MM and the fingerprint sensor worked some of the time and it wasn't reliable. I decided to use FlashTool to flash the same software to have a nice clean install, however, after I did that the fingerprint sensor stopped working. Every time I try to add a fingerprint, it says put my finger on the sensor and wait for the vibration, but it never worked.
Is there something I have to tick in FlashTool? I am using the right FTF.
Edit: In Service Test > Fingerprint Sensor, it appears to be fine. Also, DRM keys are intact if that matters. I was worried I wiped too many things when I flashed the FTF.
I've also tried adding fingerprints in Safe Mode as well as flashing FTF from a different region (but for the device). I am still unable to add fingerprints
Did you unlock bootloader? I had the same issue afterwards. Fortunately got a new one now, but I'm not unlocking for the moment.

I haven't unlocked the bootloader so my DRM keys and stuff are still here
I tried activating and deactivating the Xperia security (find my device feature) and I still haven't had any luck... It works with my AT&T sim card but I don't have any other to test. Anything else I can do to actually use this phone again?
How do you mean "use this phone again"? What is not working besides some terribly invasive tracking software?
If it helps with your issue you can unlock the SIM and even hte bootloader now, search for the thread on unlocking bootloader on Xperia X
Has anyone managed to fix the fingerprint sensor?
After unlocking the bootloader, the fingerprint sensor stopped working.
HELP!
It works fine for me and most of the other people here who unlocked their bootloaders. Try relocking i guess
I am coming from a OP8T. would i be able to unlock my bootloader without having to have them unlock it? I dont care about removing it from the network.

You have to get the sim unlocked. Once that's unlocked, the option to unlock the bootloader is available.
There is already a thread on this subject.
