How do I know if the bootloader of my z2 is locked or Unlocked?
The Xposed frameworks need unlocked bootloader?
Is there any chance I end up accidentally unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks, and sorry for my lack of knowledge!

Xposed needs root. rooting your device does NOT Require a unlocked bootloader
your bootloader can ONLY be unlocked via flashtool or ADB unlock w/ Provided Unique key
all devices come locked and you can check this via service menu
"#"#SERVICE#"#" (use numbers for)

If your phone says not allowed than not possible( atleast as of today).
However you can root with locked bootloader

Hello!
My ray's bootloader is unlocked via testpoint method and now i want to re-lock it as i need to give it to service center for softkey repair.
Is it possible?
Thanks. :fingers-crossed:
first google before posting here man, if you unlocked bootloader via offical method there is a way to unlock it but if you unlocked it using testpoint method the bootloader unlock allowed says yes so technically according to sony your bootloader is locked so there is no method to relock it if you unlocked it with this method
Hope i helped

Sorry brother i searched a lot but just found a way to relock it if you unlocked it via official method, so i made a thread.
I will ask to delete it as soon as i get the answer.
So should i give it to service center just after flashing the stock rom & kernel?
You sure there is no way to re-lock..
I'm afraid as why the RESTORE button is there in s1tool?
actually it's quite conflicting dude anyways check these threads out

If you want to install a kernel like lupus, first you need to unlock your bootloader. Use this tool to unlock it.

The risk of brick your device, but a lot of people already unlocked their bootloaders without any problems, your DRM will be permanently deleted, but believe me you can get more from your phone when the bootloader is unlocked, really worth it.

And you loose your warranty
Drm won't be lost if you unlock using testpoint method.

First check the bootloader status.whether its unlocked or not.
If its already unlocked then you can flash any custom kernel.If not you have to unlock BL first.Its not harmful but it will avoid your phone warranty.Try to use SE web site to unlock BL.Its the safest way..
After unlocking BT u can flash kernels anytime using Flash tool™..
Re:How to install a kernel
To install a custom kernel,you have to unlock your bootloader and there are two ways of doing it:
1.Use the official sony method...
head to unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com and follow the procedure there..
by doing so you lose your DRM keys which means services like track id wont work anymore...
2.use a testpoint method which is a bit complicated but you retain your DRM keys
for the testpoint method check this out

Bootloader unlocking should be done carefully,you might brick your phone if you are not careful..
after the unlock is complete you can use flashtool to flash a custom kernel in fastboot mode..

I'd rather not blow up your bubble, but afaik, two words prevent multirom to be installed on your device, them being Locked and Bootloader.... a modified kernel is needed to do so, therefore locked bootloader can only run on stock kernels... sorry...
of course if your Bootloader unlock is set to "allowed: yes", you can first unlock your bootloader, however if it's set to "bootloader unlock allowed: no", I guess nothing can be done...
