I have an Xperia tablet Z, I've checked the service menu and confirmed that the bootloader unlock allowed value is "Yes".
I've requested and received the unlock key, and following the instructions on http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions.
I've prepared my computer for the process, and can confirm that the device connects to fastboot without issue.
Upon using the fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, I receive the following error:
...

What do?

The unlock code is case sensitive - are you using the right case ?

I've copied and pasted it from sony's email, unless it was provided to me in the incorrect case, I doubt that's the issue.
I've worked a way around my task that did not require bootloader unlocking, but any additional assistance would be appreciated.
I've got the same problem with unlocking the bootloader from my Sony Xperia Tablet Z Wifi (SGP312,FW 10.3.1.C.0.136). In service menu there is written, that my device is unlockable, so i get unlock key from sony, but i can't unlock.
When i write in cmd
Code:
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
then i get as result
Code:
version: 0.5
finished. total time: -0.000s
. That's fine.
When i write in cmd
Code:
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xMyKey
where MyKey is the key i received from sony email, then this error returns:
Code:
...

@ Beastint: Doomlords flashtool doesn't work with FW 10.3.1.C.0.136.
@ MikeViller: yes, that's how i did it
i tried unlocking bootloader with upper and lower case letters in key, but still getting error message.
There is a tool called vroot to root the tablet, but i'd like to unlock the bootloader too, so that i can install CWM -> h t t p : //forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433466

Allowing use of custom kernel needed to use non stock rom ( CM, omni, aosp based roms)
Sorry to jump in on this post but....
I have rooted my SGP321 (Tablet Z 16GB LTE) but I get when I check and enter the code to see if I can unlock my bootloader I get a NO returned
Does this mean there is no way around unlocking it?
Sorry for the questions. (I wish it was as easy as installing ROM's on my HTC One)
Finally bootloader is unlocked!
I sent another email with IDID to Sony instead of serialnumber and the key i received worked to unlock bootloader.
@N345H: i'not sure, but NO seems to be NO
so if we contact sony to get the bootloader unlocked. if anything went wrong after that, can we just relock, and restore the drm key and send it in for warranty? any has any experiences to share?

I know HTC keeps track of unlocks not sure if Sony does if you were able to restore ta and.go.back to stock I would think it would be ok. Sony is pretty good. I had a xperia arc unlocked had some issues restored and sent it in and they still fixed it no charge

I unlocked my drive and read the warnings, and Sony says it depends on your warranty. you should check your own if you have one. Mine is voided. They also mention additional cost for repair for an unlocked device.
Hi all,
As a result of some attempts to restore stock rom for KIWI-UL00. I ended up in a pretty bad state :
1. The phone reboots perpetually.
2. Putting a 64gb sd card with stock rom gets the recovery to 5% and then phone gets into the reboots cycle. I actually do not know if the dload/UPDATE.APP is being picked up or the wrong boot flashed in is kicking in.
3. The phone is unlocked, but as a result of the flashing I got FRP lock??? Here is what I see in fastboot mode on the phone screen:
PHONE is Unlocked
FRP Lock
4. Any attempt to flash in a new BOOT, SYSTEM or RECOVERY with fastboot ends up with error:
./fastboot flash recovery ~/Downloads/split_updata.pl/kiw_ul00_B239_Unicom/RECOVERY.img
target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes
sending 'recovery' (55968 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.768s]
writing 'recovery'...
ERROR: usb_read failed with status e00002e8
FAILED (status read failed (Undefined error: 0))
finished. total time: 1.769s
My thinking is that FRP lock is causing denying fastboot, but have no idea how to remove it. Without being able to flash in the correct stock recovery, I don't think I will be able to install the stock rom ever.
There are a lot of stuff written about FRP lock out there, but they assume working phone. In my case, I only have access to fastboot, not even adb!
Any ideas appreciated,
Thanks.
But u still can get it into fastboot right? Isnt it possible to use adb then to root it and put twrp on it and after that put custom firmware on it to get it booted up properly again. And after that installing a stock image again?

fastboot has very limited capabilities (I guess because of the FRP lock?) Some commands work, like this:
./fastboot oem get-bootinfo
...
(bootloader) *******************************************
(bootloader) Bootloader Lock State: UNLOCKED
(bootloader) Root State: ROOT
(bootloader) Bootloader WidevineKey: WidevineKey_VALID
(bootloader) System State: Bootloader in UNLOCKED state
(bootloader) Bootloader Version: 001.001.000
(bootloader) *******************************************
OKAY [ 0.011s]
finished. total time: 0.011s
but other like erase or flash fail with the same error.
Do you know how to use ADB when the device is in fastboot mode? I currently get this:
./adb devices
List of devices attached
My thinking is that in order for DB to work the device need to be put in recovery mode, something I cannot achieve.
The only other mode i can put the phone in is by holding the UP and POWER it gets into something that has "eRecovery", but the rest is all in Chinese . There are 3 menus you can select with the volume and power (no screen touch). The first one leads to wifi discovery and but nothing after that. The other two top level menus lead to restart - again they are in Chinese, not sure what they do.

Isnt eRcovery from EMUI itself to save bricked phones? Like booting in new software or something? Maybe there are some video's about it on youtube???
I had some sort of the same issue but never had problems with frp lock before, i actually used a video from xda to get my honor 5x working again. I'll look for the link so you can see if the same steps work for you!

I saw the video, thanks. However, as you noticed in the video, not only phones boot ok, but when in fastboot mode, his phone reads:
Phone Unlocked
FRP Unlocked
When FRP is unlocked you can do all sorts of things with fastboot. I am not that lucky :crying:

relax buddy, try dload method with any other version of stock firmware,
and if it doesnt help,
first find a rollback update.app package for your particular variant, first flash it
then , go back to lollipop firmware with the same dload method,.
you should be booted to lollipop firmware,
than, go on to developer options and enable oem unlock option
start from there..

The problem is that the "dload/update.app on sdcard" method only works if the phone has stock recovery and I blew that one off.
In order to flash in the stock recovery, i need the FRP lock removed, otherwise fastboot gives me the above errors . See my problem?
the eRecovery seems more hopeful. But is all in Chinese. I got to the first step where it finds my wireless network. I put the password for the WIFI
and it starts doing omething, but fails with big red exclamation mark and tones of thing written in chinese...

I think I flashed in the wrong HUAWEI recovery image - I used the latest stock rom for KIWI-L24, but my phone is KIWI-UL00.
I would love to be able to put the right one in, but the FRP Lock issue is preventing me. I don't understand how can the phone be unlocked but have a FRP lock??? See the FASTBOOT commands I used in earlier in this thread.

FRP Lock occurs when the phone has a firmware mismatch and or oem unlocking is not on in developer options

.[/QUOTE]
This part of your post makes it sound like at least one part of recovery is still functioning. (I think there are 2 recoveries on the 5x, but I don't know the details).
I also had the "stuck at 5%" problem when trying to use the "dload" method. Here was my experience:
1) Using 64gb SD card (Class 10 or something fancy)
I was never able to do a stock recovery. Despite many tries after reformatting the card, recovery process always terminated at approximately 5% ending in a reboot without applying the update (which in your case would probably be a bootloop since the existing system is bad).
2) Using 8gb SD card (An old card, class 2)
This worked the first time. I was literally about ready to throw this phone away and send an angry message to Honor, and only tried this out of desperation. I've used it multiple times since, and dload recovery always works with this card.
My conclusion was that this phone cannot seem to read all SD cards properly. I'm not sure if the problem is capacity (over 32gb??), speed class, or brand. Try another card and it may save you. To be safe, it's probably best to be a smaller size, lower speed class card.

Hi there,
well first you need to type in adb reboot fastboot
then fastboot oem get_unlock_data
after that the command will give you a string of numbers and then you have to copy and paste those numbers on to the mobile companys bootloader unlock service website.
However since it's an Indian smartphone I am sure that the company will not provide such services as they restricted this service to everyone.....
However you can try and use KINGO ROOT to root your smartphone.
I am not sure if it will work but you can try it
For that too
I am getting the same error
Kingo root can't able to root this phone..I tried several rooting apps but not working

So far I have enabled dev. options, enabled USB debugging, but there is no OEM unlock option in dev. options.

Installing a Custom ROM never extends a device's RAM nor its lifetime.
Well, If you can install the latest Lineage on your obsolete phone you probably extend its life to a certain degree.
Thanks anyway for reply, still searching a working method to unlock Lenovo S60-a (Lollipop 5.0.2). If anyone knows how. Thanks
kindly check this russian forum. i suggest use google chrome so that translation to english is instant:

Lenovo doesn't allow your phone gets unlocked ( OEM & Bootloader ): Don't waste your time with this.
Thanks to all for your replies. Agree, probably wasting my time project.
