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 tried this and did get an unlock code, but when I went through the procedure on the Sony website it returned "no" meaning my bootloader cannot be unlocked. Did you get this result and how did you get around it?

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

No. I have learned that the US version of this phone (XQ-BE62) appears to be the only one that can't be rooted. Thanks Sony.

Now that the tablet z is launching worldwide, what would be the chances of being able to debrand the docomo version of the TZ?
I'm just wondering as I'm not sure how good docomo is at releasing updates.
First we need the SGP321 Firmware.
At the moment there is only the docomo FW available and the WiFi only version.
Maybe someone with a SGP321 device could provide it....

Im with you, I have DoCoMo and I just want to load the stock firmware.
But I found out the bootloader is set to no so cant unlock yet.
Do you know once we get a stock firmware will that unlock the DoCoMo sim lock?

Strange, I got mine from a dealer here in Hong Kong who never mentioned about any unlock and my local sim works in it fine, also xperiax10.awesome said a friend helped him buy his one from japan directly from docomo and didn't have to unlock it either.
some sites do seem to be offered sim unlock but it's rather pricy:

Not sure about others but mine is locked. I can pay $30 to DoCoMo to unock it for me tho.
In my service menu there a X next to network lock so hoping a non DoCoMo firmware will mean an unlock

Really? What locks in the simlock then?
I was reading that the boot loader doesn't contain the sim lock so I assumed it was firmware based.

Yes, SIM-Lock is not dependent on Firmware
This is why you can flash different FW Versions to mobiles/tablets without any problems.
As from my knowledge the SIM-Lock is like a DRM-Key which is stored in the TA (TrimArea).
If you want to unlock your device you have to write the correct unlock code in the dialer, after this with an algorythm the DRM-Key is generated and stored in the TA.
To avoid any problems with SIM-Lock the Flashtool never flashes the simlock.ta file which is in some FTF Files.
The file is skipped

interesting.
If the key is stored in the TA and you unlock your bootloader the TA partition is removed on unlocking of bootloader, people are recommending to backup the TA partition to retain BRAVIA 2..so once you have the backup you could remove the any signs on the sim lock and once you restore it should be unlocked? hah
that's just my thinking....

I think here is an answer from a developer the best solution
You are right in theory, but I think when you remove the signs on the sim-lock the TA is not signed correctly anymore and it will not work. But this is just my thinking...
So for a correct answer we need a real DEV like DooMLooRD or Bin4ry or ....

Yes, Worldgsmcodes.com sent me the unlock code for my SO-03E in 72 hours.
Don't choose Xperia tablet z, choose tablet S, then the support will contact you to give them the IMEI of your XTZ and then they will send you the unlock code.
Works perfectly.
The Unlocking bootloader service sent me a code to unlock the bootloader, ( my XTZ says : Bootloader unlock allowed : No ), i tried this :
In the cmd windows type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
If a value is returned (it will return 0.5), it means the phone is correctly connected
Type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY and replace KEY with the key which u received earlier.
You're device should now be bootloader unlocked
it's not working....

Thanks man, bit the bullet and ordered an unlock code. Hope this works on my docomo tablet z too.
After getting my unlock code, my SIM was already identified.great. Just a quick question, am I stuck with the R (roaming) logo? Im getting 3g signal and 3g working but the logo still stays at R.
Hello XDA Community
I have had my Sony Xperia Z ultra Since last year and i've never been able to Unlock the Bootloader...whenever i've tried it just doesn't work almost makes me not want the device as i cant stand the stock Sony Xperia UI.
First off the normal method ive tried just never works
UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER:
This may wipe your phone, so backup your stuff
• Go to Sony's dev site
• Request the unlock key and check your mail straight away. Email is quick these days.
• Open Flashtool on your computer (yes, the one you installed earlier)
• Click the "BLU" icon
• Follow the steps and enter your unlock key
Quick note...If i type *#*#7378423#*#* into the keypad and continue the steps i get to the Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed and its always said Bootloader not allowed...now i don't know if that means anything or with a bit of hope ill still be able to Unlock my Phone...
My phone is a contract phone with o2 here in the uk and even trying to return the phone is impossible as they tell me all the time are you asking to unlock the device for use with a different network
I've done my best to explain to them no its the bootloader and they tell me i shouldn't be messing with the device etc etc etc etc.....
anyways theres no way of convincing them and am stuck with this exact phone...i dunno what else to do if even trying to unlock bootloader will ever work for me
" If Bootloader unlock allowed and its always said Bootloader not allowed."
Thats the problem.
You could look at installing a theme or maybe monx's ROM

This means that your bootloader is unlockable from the factory. There's no work around for this.

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.

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?

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.

I couldn't find anything specific for this phone. All the tools/videos were made for other Huawei phones, so I'm skeptic to try them out.
I'm looking for a tool for PC which will help me unlock the bootloader on my Huawei Y6. I already got the code from the official Huawei site.
Also, recommend drivers which I'll need.

Don't trust that.
Install minimal adb and fastboot from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Go into that folder, press shift and right click, then click "Open command prompt here"
When it opens, write "fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxx" where xxxxxx is the code you received.
It should say "waiting for device".
Shut down your phone, connect it to the PC and turn it on using VOL UP + POWER.
Fastboot should do it automatically and unlock your bootloader.

Thats nice, but you're requesting in the wrong site. Have you tried a google site request?
I just did this tonight on my Huawei Y6 ATU L11.
Follow this guide first: dc-unlocker.com/how-to-read-huawei-bootloader-unlock-code
Then do this:
dc-unlocker.com/free-huawei-bootloader-unlock-tutorial
It's not free but it's worth it imo as stock on this phone is quite bad.
Can anyone make a tutorial on how to unlock the bootloader on this huawei Y6 with/without unlock code. Though I best prefer w/o unlock but even with unlock code will do. Thakns.
Did anyone find a rooting method for y6 2019 pro??? I've hunted posts everywhere to no avail, also tried getting bootlocker unlock code directly from huwaei, however, apparently they stopped giving these out a couple of years ago, I'm using this y6 2019 pro just now but it's pretty whack and they won't even upgrade it to andy10. Fookers playing god with their bootloaders. Give us em? any luck with it guys n gals?
Can you send me the code?
Pls send me the code sir/maam i really do need it i dont have money to use dc unlocker or any other kinds of $ hugry programs
If your kind enough send it to my email ?

There is no code because huwaei do not provide unlock codes, therefore each device including the y6 2019 remains with a locked bootloader, sell it and buy a Samsung or pixel
