Hi guys,
First at all my phone said Bootloader unlock allowed: NO
but i do SIM unlock and now say Bootloader unlock allowed: YES
Whats mean this??
Now i can unlock my bootloader without any risk and install custom kernels?
Yes. If booloader unlock allowed turned to yes then u can unlock it.
One more question i tried to unlock via fastboot and appear
<bootloader> Unlock phone request
FAILED <remote: Phone is already unlocked!>
finished. total time: 0.004s
SIM unlock, unlocked bootloader too???
Is there a test to know is bootloader is unlocked?

Usually when bootloader is unlocked it syas
Bootloader unlocked . Yes
And when its not it says
Bootloader unlock allowed . Yes
But in ur case it might be diff since u had a simlock
Don't forget to hit thanks
If you debrand with wotan BL is unlock automatically
But if you unlock with other method try to unlock BL with S1tool (testpoint method)

Hey guys i got a pretty straightforward question...
i have unlocked the bootloader and everything is great but now i'm in the need of unlocking my phone... how would i do that? could i relock bootloader and go to stock then unlock it by code provided by my carrier? and if yes would i be able to unlock the bootloader again afterwards?
EDIT:
Oh and by the way inside s1tool it says SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE

Any way to check if bootloader is still locked?
In the maintenance menu I just see "bootlocker allowed: YES"
I can't find "bootloaer unlocked: YES" anywhere?
(cant find "bootloader unlocked: NO" either btw)

I just checked. What it litteraly says is:
"Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes"
So is this unlocked or locked?

How did you unlock?
Official way - locked.
Test point method - Don't know.
Test point method doesn't change it.
That's what I thought first too. But then I read on some topic that the test screen was supposed to say "unlocked: yes". But I guess he was talking about the official unlock?
I used test point method. So I guess I'm still unlocked then.
Need to search for another reason I can't flash a custom kernel with fastboot then... I get the message "can't load boot.img". Any ideas straight of the bat?
Thanks

If you unlocked bootloader by official method, it says:
Bootloader Unlocked: Yes
If you unlocked by test point method, it still says:
Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes
To find out if your bootloader is unlocked or not after unlocking by TestPoint method, just try to flash a custom kernel using flashtool
Thanks,
Rick

Place the boot.img file in the same folder as fastboot, that you are using.
HI! I have HBOOT 1.53.0007 so my only chance of unlocking the bootloader is via htcdev.My brother's phone is 6 months old and this is the first time I tried to unlock the bootloader,though I am not a newbie because I have rooted mine a long time ago(since HBOOT 1.49.0007).After trying to unlock the bootloader it gave me this error FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed).Whatever I did it didn't pass that.Do you now how can I resolve this/another method for unlocking bootloader?
THANKS A LOT!!!

I'm having the same problem
I need to do a warranty exchange and my bootloader is unlocked, how can i relock it?
How can i relock it without using a USB?
Cannot relock without USB. You would need to run
fastboot oem lock

Did you end up successfully locking it? Does it still display the 'unlocked' message on the logo boot screen?

Necro to say: YES, you can run "fastboot oem lock" to RELOCK the bootloader. "fastboot getvar unlocked" returns "unlocked: no".
Just tried it on my (two hour old) phone here.
Code:
C:\Assorted Programs\LGV10 Toolkit>fastboot getvar unlocked
unlocked: no
finished. total time: 0.007s
C:\Assorted Programs\LGV10 Toolkit>fastboot oem unlock
...
OKAY [ 3.374s]
finished. total time: 3.374s

...
OKAY [ 1.764s]

It will factory reset your device so make sure you are sure that you actually want to do it
reboot to bootloader then use the following:
Code:
fastboot oem lock

Hi, Have you been able to Relcok it successfully? Does bootloader unlock still appears on your screen or it is gone?

I dont think my phone bootloader was ever unlocked, at least I never noticed such message, but since I rooted in lolipop I get this funny screen everytime I reboot, even after upgrading to marshmallow

Thanks, it worked
if we relock the bootloader after doing root and debloat the stock rom, when they factory reset everything the root stay or just be gone after do the relock? are we able to unlock it again if we need TWRP?
other thing, the "cant check software for corruption" message will still appear or be gone when re-locked?
Howdy,
I have an xperia z3 tablet compact, aka SGP621, which has a locked bootloader. I have currently rooted my Z3TC using this method but I want to be able to flash a custom rom. I understand that the sim lock is separate from the bootloader, but I've read in a few threads on XDA that the device needs to be sim unlocked to unlock the bootloader. Even after using sony's unlock page, the process fails with fastboot giving the following error:
fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xC8267EA2C7B838AF
...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.009s

Can anyone confirm if the device needs to be sim unlocked to unlock the bootloader or if there is another method to unlock the bootloader ?
For anyone else curious, I got an unlock code from my service provider so the device is now sim unlocked. However, the bootloader is still unlocked. I am looking for a solution but its not looking good.
Also stuck with one of these. I can flash an ftf type file with the flash tool. Anything else it seems is out of the question.
