Unlocking an unlockable bootloader. Doesn't make much sense, does it now.

You don't have to unlock the bootloader to have root. I can't unlock my bootloader (bootloader unlock allowed = No) but I've got root.
You can get root a few ways, either by flashing a rooted stock rom, or by flashing a rooted rom for locked bootloader such as Moonwalker or Existenz (look in the Android Development thread for the Z2).
I'm using Moonwalker with white theme. I can recommend it :good:

[Q] Not possible to unlock phone - is there anyother method to do it?

Hi!
I've got a problem with unlocking my XPERIA U. It has Orange branded firmware, Android 2.3.7, and I'd like to change it to for example ICS. I wanted to unlock my bootloader, but I can see a message: Bootloader unlock allowed: No.
Is there any possibility to unlock it, or not? And why this phone has no possibility to do it?
Regards,
linoskoczek
Unlock = debrand? If yes, just flash stock ROM 1.54 or 1.75 with flashtool.
You can make branded ftf backup before flashing, just in case.
BTW why do u want to unlock bootloader?

No, you can't unlock your phone. Probably you have simlock and locked bl by operator(Orange). But you can flash fw without Orange apps etc. Just go to development section and download latest ICS fw.

Ahh that ****ty orange...
I've flashed it to ICS, but still unlocking is not possible. Anyway, do you think http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 will root the phone? It's just a one thing I can do without unlocking xperia.

I think the only thing you can't do in SXP with locked bootloader is flashing custom kernel. So, the answer is yes, you can root the phone without unlocking bootloader as well as e.g. install CWM recovery.

Bootloader

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

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...

Root e2306 marshmallow??

it is possible now??
If you have an unlocked bootloader, yes.
Otherwise you'll have to wait till someone comes up with a root method which could take a lot of time or no time at all.
On the same boat. I haven't unlocked the bootloader and I intend to keep avoiding it, so I'm waiting for someone to come up with rootkit or root method before flashing marshmallow.
how can I to unlock the bootloader?

Bootloader Unlock Allowed:No
It has SIM lock, if I remove my carrier SIM lock will it be able to unlock?
No, it won't make it unlockable

Removing SIM lock won't make it unlockable. I've tried it myself
