Afaik there's no such thing as 'Bootloader unlock status'. What does 'Bootloader unlock allowed' say? Or does it say 'Bootloader Unlocked: Yes/No'?

I would try to return the device. You want to hop on the Sony Open Devices Program and specifically bought a non-carrier device, so.

I assume you mean they don't want to help you and won't take it back.

There's nothing you can do. Maybe an exploit will be found to obtain root, but I think the earliest that might happen is with the Marshmallow release.

Do you not have any consumer rights in order that they take it back?
Unless it is longer that the normal return window.

Yes, and even then. I would make a firm point of having bought the device to make use of the Sony Open Devices offerings. They can't really blame you that it took you more time than the return window to conclude that the device's bootloader cannot be unlocked. This is unusual to say the least. If they ask why you didn't check it right after you had bought it you can tell them you had to become familiar with this kind of stuff first or that you thought you made some mistake in the unlocking steps, while thinking the bootloader would be unlockable, and that troubleshooting took a lot of time. I think this is even actually what happened as well.
I think you have a fairly good position to succeed.
i think i will wait for 6.0 and then try it

Only if there will be an exploit found with which you can obtain root. That bootloader status will stay the same, no matter the Android version.

Hi!
I haven't seen a way to change the status from "bootloader unlock allowed: NO" to YES, but in a forum I read that some guys managed to reach an agreement with sony. If we send the simlock unlock codes they will allow the bootloader unlock.
Here's the OT

I'll send a mail to see if it really works (I have the sim unlock code).
Do you know something about this?

After reading a bunch of Googlish I don't think they got any response yet. I don't think emailing Sony will get your bootloader unlocked but you never know.

The chances are very small, but looks like they are going to unlock it:

Looks like the only requirement now is that you have to bring the device to a sony service center
We are dealing with Sony to get our handsets fully unlocked, but what i am most afraid of is if employees will be aware of this. I hope so!
We will keep you guys updated!

kindly add a question mark to your title, for obvious reasons. thanks
you can make the bootloader unlock allowed: yes by ezSEMC tool. I made it yesterday unlocking my acro HD for 45$. the phone became fully unlocked and bootloader changed to rootable, after that i've unlocked bootloader by official method.

Now i see why u retired..lolaa.. u changed Flashtool version to a ancient one when current version is 0.9.0.0
Can someone confirm this status could be changed NOW ?!?
Some people say it can't be done no more because S1 server is closed for good an no other solutions for now...

I've heard rumours the s1 server is offline for good aswell. Missed it by about two days. Gutted. I've been checking daily for about 3 weeks.
Can't believe I had so much fun with my x10 and cm roms, but now I'm forced to stop.
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
I still find hard to believe no one can "break this code"...
I would certainly donate to some Dev to crack this problem for good. If it can be done by CSCA Server than is just some service mode and software changes.
That or find some loophole to flash kernels into the phone, security blocks for that are so hard or complex that no one can break them ?!
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Hello people from XDA!
From what I have read time and time again while looking for a way to change my Bootloader unlock allowed:NO to YES, there should be a way to install a custom ROM and recovery without unlocking my bootloader (since it's apparently impossible to unlock it). And if there is a way, please let me know.
Additional information:
My device is rooted (Kingoroot)
I'd really apperciate some "light" on the subject. I've searched for weeks and there seem to be absolutely no threads regarding the subject, although there are people claiming they have done it.
Thanks in advance.
What Android version is your phone running? 5 or 6?
5; 6.0 hasn't been released in my region (Latin America)??

Find and activate OEM unlocking within the developer option in the settings menu. It may or may not work - but its worth a shot.

How is that even possible that a device is NON-unlockable? Excuse my ignorance, it is my first time trying to install a custom ROM on an android device. I have this Sony Xperia Z tablet and after a whole afternoon trying to understand how to install lineageOS on it I hit the hard wall. My device is NON-unlockable by default. What a pile of ****!!!
I'm stuck with this Sony bloatware forever!! God forsaken!
Everybody sure there are no way around this???

Do you mean non-unlockable? Unlockable means you can unlock the bootloader, which is required for installing LineageOS.

That was an error induced by rage and the double negative of "non-un-lockable" that confused my pissed mind even more.
Introduction - I believe Huawei owners including myself only have to the 24th of July to unlock the bootloader of their devices now right?
So my question is, does unlocking the bootloader on my Mate 10 Pro have any effect on the device as in with LG you get the warning screen on every boot or on Sony devices you lose DRM keys resulting in bad camera quality?,
At the moment I have no plans to root or install custom ROMs, but if it will no longer be possible after the 24th then I'd rather do it and have the option at a later date incase I change my mind, rather than be stuck wishing I'd done it when I had the chance.
Thanks for any feedback :highfive:
As long as u have your key to unlock you can unlock it whenever you want. You will get a message when you restart phone. And you can always relock.

So I can request my bootloader unlock key, and the use it whenever I want to, if at all, and the only noticeable difference would be a warning screen? It in no way affects any features at all?

Warning will only be there when you unlock it.
So if you only get the code you won't notice anything
No features are affected as it is now anyway.

So assuming I unlock it, I will only get the 1 warning and then that's it?, I'm only curious because on my LG, I'd get the warning on every boot, if no features are affected such as camera quality I'm definitely going to request it

Sorry, the warning will be there each boot after you unlock. But not by just requesting code. You have to unlock device in Fastboot. So just get the code and save it in case you want to unlock, or if you sell the device later you could give the code to the buyer.

Ahh okay, the same as my old LG device then, I'm glad Huawei don't make you lose any DRM's like Sony do, the worst thing about unlocking my Xperia was the terrible camera quality once the bootloader was unlocked

It works fine in camera at least. I haven't even tried the AI powered translation. This is with Magisk installed.
I knew only supersu affected AI in camera and translation, while Magisk had no effect on the system. But I may be wrong

No, it's the first step after you need the unlock bootloader code and Honor don't give it.
Actually nobody can unlock an honor 10...
Who says that ? I got my bootloader unlocked by an Estonian guy which I paid 10$ to do so. He is/was an Hauwei employee and dumped bootloader codes of any phone which was produced to this day (late 2019). Besides of this service, there is an on chip soldering guide for reading and flashing hardware based, most of it can be found under the radar. Personally I would recommend this guy, but I can't find his website atm, maybe googling it will be easier.
Peace and gl
