tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked./
When i do this it says. no..
Is their a way around it so i can unlock bootloader?
THANKS

Yes,you will have to pay someone with SETool2 so he/she can patch your fast boot and unlock boot loader.I recommend Jinx13.Nice guy and easy to deal with,unlocked my Neo V's boot loader too

I have used SEtool before i unlocked my bootloader of my x8.
can i not do it same way as i did with the x8?
No, s1tool and touch point will unlock it but not fastboot so is pointless, either pay someone as above or wait for omnius next promotion

Just to be sure, do you mean on SETool box or on s1tool?
If u have a no-branded phone (SIM free) unlock BL with S1Tool and Testpoint, Its easy, and u wont lose DRM and related stuff

If you think the experience can be better, root it, and the last step is to install a different ROM, like CyangenMod or MIUI.

Idk, when i unlocked my bootloader, I used the official method. But you can always relock your bootloader (though DRM won't be fixed). It's quite easy.

but its showing no driver found for this device, is this ok ? can i step further for next step in unlocking bootloader which is install manualy drivers ?

Ok dumb question, i unlocked the network sim lock on my neo by the test point method cos i hardlocked the sim by entering the pass wrong too many times.
did this unlock the bootloader?
Or to put it another way, to unlock a hardlocked phone you unlock the bootloader using the testpoint method?
sorry if this sounds stupid, ive been been trying to search for some way of testing to see if the bootloader is unlocked by this method but carn't find any
Aye thx for the reply, i know the process of unlocking the bootloader with the various methods,
As i understand it, unlocking the bootloader also unloacks the sim lock?
....so i was was wondering the way i unlocked the simlock on the phone with some software and using the testpoint was actually unlocking the bootloader with the side effect of unlocking the sim too?
I didn't ask how to unlock the bootloader!
What software?
The answer is most likely you have, especially if you used testpount.
Dial
*#*#7378423#*#*
Should show rooting status:yes if unlocked.

It says bootloader unlock allowed : yes

Also when you sim unlock via bootloader replacement(xunlock, omnius or setool), that text changes, you can guarantee it was no before you unlocked, but s1tool or just trying a fastboot command is more reliable

Bootloader unlock by TP method s1tool fails
I'm a noob in unlocking. I rooted my as soon as I got my phone but was hesitant about BL unlocking. I tried it today but it doesn't unlock, and also it didn't brick luckily. Here's the s1tool screensnap attached.
I installed the drivers, opened s1tool and did everything as mentioned in Noobs guide.

I did the same, network sim unlock via test point. But, PCC has not worked since. It knows I've done something. SUS works sometimes. I have tried using flashtool, relock ftf and adb sony relock and none of this changed anything. Can I unpatch or correct the patch and unlock officially? I'd really like to do that.
Thanks for any info I don't know much about test point.

I've just been doing some reading/research regarding the bootloader. I found this page on Sony website: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
I followed these instructions:
First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your device by checking the service menu. In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu. If you have a tablet, click here to learn how access the service menu.
In your device, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

These instructions are for the Xperia Z1, but they should also work on the Z2.
Is it a phone from a carrier, or direct from Sony?
Does it have a sim lock?

you can find the sim lock status in service menu too, click service info, then sim lock....... you'll see a screen like the one attached, if there is an x inside the [] then that lock is active. by the way, mine is sim free with unlockable bootloader, purchased from phones4u on vodafone contract..... i have been told by vodafone customer services a couple years that they dont put network locks on there phones anymore

yep i got same problem. locked bootloader and sim locked athough you can get it unlocked on ebay or amazon thats not a big deal the problem is bootloader locked. i hope anyone can help me wo get root without unlocking bootloader like Z1
Does unlocking the bootloader this official sony way still erases DRM keys? My Z2 is lock-free, but I don't wanna lose the TA partition, even though I'm dying to root it.

Apparently it still does, yes. Although it remains unclear if you loose additional functionality as well. Look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702001
Hello there,
I'm trying to remove ROOT.
My device is BootLoader UnLocked.
My device is rooted.
My device is running the 14.4.A.0.108 FirmWare.
Searching for help doesn't help me at all http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/help/flashtool-error-parsing-settingsprefs-js-t2805196
My issue is this one:
When I am opening FlashTool64.exe, I get this error:

My computer is running Windows 8.1 Pro (updated) on an MSI Z77A-GD65 with a 840 EVO SSD (everything is up-to-date).
I used the disable driver signature enforcement.
I installed a lot of drivers for the Z Ultra in the Flashtool-drivers.exe.
And... I get this error...
What can I do to remove this red text ?
Or... Can I unroot with this error ?
(Because I give up by installing a custom rom, I'm reading, searching everything on the internet, and nobody offers me a link where everything is well explained, I remember how that was easy with the first galaxy note, now it's very uncomprehensible)...
I have the same issues
nevermind...
I'm gonna remove the unlocking, I have restored the DRM KEYS & I will try to update my device with Sony Companion and unroot
*#*#7378423#*#*
I'm unrooted...
But my bootloader is still able to be unlocked when I type *#*#7378423#*#* Configuration

If it say "allowed" that should be correct.
Yes, if it says "Allowed" then it's locked, but you're allowed to unlock it (again). If it says "Unlocked: Yes", then it's unlocked.
What exactly are you trying to achieve here? No recovery/No root/Locked BL? For what purpose?

I guess that is just an error in firefox's prefs file (flashtool looking for web proxy) so is nothing to worry about - just a guess though

Of course you can, root access just allow you to install mod or edit system files. There are no conflict between unlocked bootloader and root access

You need the unlock code from Sony.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/
Use the blu (bootloader unlock) function from flashtool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Edit....it wipes everything so back up what you want to save, and a nandroid made before unlocking will relock. Use an app like titanium backup or mybackup pro.
