First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
In your phone, 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.
if devices says no unlock possible, is there another possibility to make it or it will
be definitevely not possible???
many thanks and rgds to all

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.

Best Regards

I was very sad that even waiting 2 weeks i couldn't get the unlock code from huawai website.
Thanks to @inside!out for helping me with the following way to get the bootloader fast unlocked:
There is a small software called dc-unlock: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/
With dc-unlock there is no need to wait two weeks (or more?!)
Just download dc-unlock software and purchase 4 points for unlocking bootloader instantly on the website. ( There are a lot ways to purchase - don't worry)
Install HiSuite on PC and connect phone with pc.
In phone software you need to enable debugging and then in dialer
- dial *#*#2846579#*#*
- background settings
- usb port settings
- choose manufacture mode
Then in dc-unlock software choose huawei phones and auto detect.
Now search device, if found enter on right side under server settings the username and password you get per email when purchasing 4 points from dc-unlock website.
Then in unlocking on right side DON'T choose unlock phone! Choose "read bootloader"!
That's the code you need for Multi-Tool to unlock successful.
Good luck!
OHH NOOOO... NO NEW TREAD ABOUT "DC-UNLOCKER"!
There are enough treads about "dc-unlocker" here in the forum!
please use the search engine!

Sony Xperia M4 Aqua (E2303) Root Guide
For devices with LOCKED BOOTLOADER (Bootloader unlock allowed: No)
I searched for days, weeks and months to find a way to root my Xperia M4 Aqua E2303 phone without any luck at all.
The problem is that every guide I could find means having to first unlock your bootloader before being able to root.
Dialling *#*#7378423#*#* will give you the 'Service Info' menu, and tapping 'Configuration' will give you more information.
Under 'Rooting Status' you will see Bootloader unlock allowed: No. If this is not the case, then I don't know if this guide will help you. However, if this IS the case, then the below allowed me to root my device.
My device info:
Android Version: 5.0 Lollipop
Kernel Version: 3.10.49
Build Number: 26.1.A.3.111
Disclaimer: I will not accept any responsibility for your device. You are using this guide and any linked files AT YOUR OWN RISK. Due to Bootloader being locked, this guide doesn't include flashing the recovery! I am sharing this in the hope that it will help someone having the same problems I did.
So, here we go.
1) Dial *#*#7378423#*#* then tap 'Configuration' then look under 'Rooting Status'. If it says 'Bootloader unlock allowed: No' then go to step 2.
2) Download the kit at http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=28364310233527948260
3) Unzip the kit. Make sure you have installed your Xperia M4's drivers including fastboot and ADB. These are also included in the kit you have just downloaded if you do not already have them.
4) Turn on your phone. Go to 'Settings' then go to 'About Phone'. Keep tapping on 'Build number' and you will unlock developer options.
5) Go to 'Settings' then go to 'Developer Options'. Tick 'Enable OEM unlock' and 'USB debugging'. Also UNTICK 'Verify apps over USB'.
6) Make sure your phone is well charged, and plug in your phone via USB cable. A message will appear asking if you give your PC debugging permission. Tick 'Always choose this option' and then tap 'Allow'.
7) On your computer, go to the kit you unzipped in Step 3 and go to the rootkitXperia_E23xx_26.1.X.3.xxx folder.
8) Double click on 'Install.bat' and an automated Command Prompt will open up (looks like DOS)
9) The bat file will send all the required files and scripts to your phone. When complete, your phone will restart.
10) When your phone has restarted, the Command Prompt will say 'Press any key to continue'. Push any key and the Command Prompt will close. If not, I am told the Rootkit can be run again until it works - however it worked first time for me.
If all has gone well, your phone will now be rooted and will have the SuperSU app installed. Download 'Root Checker Basic' from the app store to verify your root status.
The Rootkit files used were found at a similar thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/development/root-xm4aqua-e2303-bolek-t3340399). This post/guide aims to be a more in-depth and approachable method for those not so comfortable working it out for themselves.
You're a lifesaver! Thanks so much I was stuck after having Bootloader Unlocked: No
Only problem is I don't have the usual feeling of satisfaction because of messing around with fastboot commands for hours that I usually do as this was so easy :/
