Hi, guys and girls. Recently I was trying to check if M4 has an option to unlock the bootloader. I have model E2333 dual-sim with 16 Gb. It is sim-free. I typed in dialer *#*#7378423#*#* and under Service Info>Configuration>Rooting Status got this: Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No..
After that I went to sony developers web page http://developer.sonym….com/unlockbootloader/. I guessed that maybe international model of M4 (E2303) could have bootloader unlock option, but there is no Xperia M4 in the list of the devices supported by this option.
Then I wrote a messege to sony developers. And here is our correspondence:
Me: Hello. Just was trying to unlock the bootloader in my new Xperia M4 Aqua. But the device is not listed in the list of devices supported by unlocking bootloader in http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/.
Will it be added soon, or, maybe, M4 is not going to get this function at all? And what models of M4 will get an abillity to unlock?
It is very important for me. Please, answer. Thanx a lot.
developer.world: Hi Alex,
If the device was not listed, then bootloader unlocking is not supported for the devices. It’s up to the operator to decide whether or not to allow unlocking of the bootloader. And the setting is pre-programmed into the firmware of the device before it goes to market. There is no way to enable bootloader unlocking after this.
Best regards, Developer World
Me: The problem is that my Xperia M4 is sim free... And the second one is that it is E2333, but E2303 is not listed there too.
developer.world Hi Alex,
Having the Sim card unlocked won’t enable unlocking of the bootloader. Currently, no models of Xperia M4 support unlocking the bootloader.
Best regards, Developer World.
That's it.
Due to written above, I ould like to check if it is true. So, please, could you make the following steps and post the result here?
1. Model number (E2303, E2312, E2333 etc.)
2. Type in dialer *#*#7378423#*#* and then go to Service Info>Configuration>Rooting Status and then look at Bootloader Unlock Allowed YES or NO.
3. In the same place in Service Info>Software Info>S1 Boot version check the version and write it here.
Thanx a lot.

Where did you buy your device? At an operator (like AT&T, T-Mobile etc.) or at an independent mobile phone shop?

Very interesting situation. No device at sony developers unlock bootloader page. At the same time, some of them are allowed to unlock and some are not. Any users with dual-sim versions like me, please?

Greetings, XDA members.
I have a Sony Xperia Z Ultra SOL24 model (japanese model of japanese AU KDDI). I was thinking to install a custom ROM (Cyanogenmod), but the bootloader is locked and it is impossible unlock it.
If I change the stock ROM to another stock ROM of other Z Ultra model, can I then unlock the bootloader? If yes, what is it the best stock ROM?
Thank you.

If it's impossible (bootloader unlock allowed: No), the only thing you can do is send it to Sony.
But I am not sure if you can install roms from c68xx models. Might results a brick.

As my SOL24 shows "Bootloader unlock allowed: No", then I will not install any ROMs.
Thank you for the help.
I know that m4 aqua has problems like heating and low storage.but still want to buy the device. In my country only these 2 models are available.
Which model has less problems?
And can any of the 2 devices be rooted with locked bootloader?
I havent unlocked the bootloader of anyphone so far.so i am not happy with unlocking bootloader as no updates not atleast by sony pcc.
I like to hear from users of the device.
Please reply.
Thanks.
both device has the same problem,root is easier with unlocked bootloader.i dont know about root with locked bootloader,but i think it possible..the different between e2353 and e2313 is the lte support,e2313 does not support lte,that all the different

Hi people of XDA,
I'm looking forward to unlock my phone's bootloader, but unfortunately in the service menu, the status of my phone says "Bootloader Unlock Allowed=NO"
Is there any way to change the "NO" to a "YES"?
Additional informations:
My phone is SIMLOCKED to a carrier
I have the 16gb model (E2306)
I have already contacted Sony, but they can't do anything
Thank you very much!
I think u can not do anything.
No, you can't unlock it. There is no way to do that with Bootloder unlock allowed: NO.
same for me, i have the e2303, is there a way to root it? or there's something we can do?
So I know this has been asked a million times before, unfortunately I'm way too unfamiliar with flashing/rooting etc to understand what most threads try to explain.
It would be so awesome if somebody could answer my questions in the simplest possible language.
Right off the bat I must say that I have a Sony Xperia M4 Aqua E2306, and almost all instructions that I find reference other variants of this device. So would they be
compatible with my phone?
All I need is to get plain and simple root on my phone. I do not need a custom recovery or anything like that (unless of course it is necessary for rooting).
Here is all the info about my device that I think may be relevant:
Sony Xperia M4 Aqua, E2306, originally with Fido (Canada), now network unlocked.
Android version: 6.0.1
Build number: 26.3.A.1.33
In the service menu, it says "Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No."
First, do I need to unlock the bootloader to be able to root my phone? If so, is there is really no way to unlock it on my device?
Second, could someone point me to a thread with a rooting method that would work specifically on my device, based on the info above (and unlock the bootloader, if applicable)?
Thank you
Hey Guys,
I don't speak really good English but I will try my best to describe my problem because I really need your help.
I bought a XZ1 with Version SOV36. The bootloader is locked. Also if I look in the Service Info via "*#*#7378423#*#*" it's written "Bootloader unlock allowed: No". I activated the OEM Bootloader unlock in the developer options but I don't think that this will have any impact.
I need to install any standard Rom without the massive bloatware i got on this phone. A lot of it is not deactivateable. I tried to install a custom kernel but i can't get into the bootloader. So I also can't install twrp or magisk or root or anything else. I found the device via "adb devices" but if I run "adb reboot bootloader" the phone reboots with black screen and a blue LED. No further commands are working or getting any connection via adb after this happens. I tried a lot of ways written down in this forum how to get it done but none of them worked.
The Build-Number is:
47.2.C.1.126
Kernel Version:
4.4.148-pref+

Thanks a lot for your help!
As it is the "odd ball" version of the XZ1 and the Service Menu says no to the bootloader being unlocked but maybe some one will pop in with a bit more info..
But in the meantime have a read over here.. https://www.liberamenteweb.it/en/gu...ed-apps-from-android-9-sony-xperia-xz-premium , it will help you with your bloat ware issue...
and have a look here.. https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...devonly-exploits-temp-root-to-backup-t3795510
For others which may have the same problem:
https://king.mineo.jp/my/kangetsu/reviews/item/35887
Here you could find a list of packages you need to uninstall if you want to completely remove the AU-Bloatware.
I'm still looking forward to a solution which could help to unlock the bootloader but didn't find one yet.

Did you read my 2nd link...
Sov36
I got a unit too recently. My tethering and volte is disable outside Japan. I wondered if it is an au kddi problem or my network. I have not installed bootloader on any unit for some time. It is possible with this model?

I have SOV36 with bootloader unlocked. You have to check if bootloader is unlockable. I hope this helps.

Try downgrading to first version of Pie for SOV36. I unlocked on when it was on first version of Pie. Give that a try.
