I was trying to unlock the bootloader of my phone and when i type fastboot oem unlock it shows me three dots "..." for hours.
Device : Micromax q324 (it is a spreadtrum 7731 device)
PC OS : Windows 8 64 bit
You can't unlock all bootloader like that. Really that only works on nexus devices and a few others without the oem unlocking it. If I'm not mistaken you need something from the oem for that device.
then how do i unlock bootloader for my device????

Contact the oem and see if there is a bootloader unlock method for the device.
Well i dont think that the indian customer representatives will know the meaning of bootloader

You would be wrong. That oem has other devices that it unlocks bootloader for, so they will at least know what it is and will tell you if it can be unlocked or not.
Understand that not all devices get an unlock for the bootloader. They don't want to do it.
I will contact oem tommorrow
Thnx for the assistance

Hello
I currently own an Xperia Live with walkman which I upgraded to 4.0.4 ICS and rooted.
I'm interested on using custom ROMs so I need to unlock the phone's bootloader in order to install custom kernels.
In the service menu of the phone, rooting status says:
Bootloader unlock allowed: NO
I've read on other threads that this means that the phone also has a network lock, so even if I use the test point method to unlock, I won't be able to use fastboot mode.
However on the SIMLOCK menu of the service menu, all locks are disabled (And I confirmed it by installing another sim from a different phone company).
¿How can I unlock the bootloader (for free, hopefully), and will it work on fastboot mode?
I would advise you to try and go to fastmode connecting the phone to the computer while off and holding the volume up key, the notification led should turn on blue that means that you will have no problem flashing custom kernels but you will need to unlock the bootloader using the test point method.
Also you can double check if the boot loader is really locked in the service menu, software info, under the s1 Boot Version you will find something like this: 1241-3656 r9A029 the letter "r" here refers to the state of the bootloader the lower case means it's unlock meanwhile the capital "R" means its locked.

So, I will never be able to use fastboot?
Even if I unlock the bootloader through test points or the paid method?
Normally, you'd have to unlock it via Wotan Server. It erases SIM lock and unlocks bootloader. Don't know why your phone is already SIM unlocked, though.
Hi,
I have same problem, Bootloader unlock allowed: NO
On every test point tutorial I saw "if Bootloader unlock allowed: YES, than you can continue doing TP".
I want to unlock it, so I can flash CM9.
Can I still use TP to unlock my bootloader?
No, bootloader cannot be unlocked if fastboot is disabled.
The only way to enable fastboot right now is via paid method, which also uses the test point method. I am not sure, but I have heard that in some cases, that method unlocks the bootloader aswell.
So, no custom ROMs for me
So what's the verdict here?
Even though on my LWW I have Bootloader unlock allowed: NO I did the testpoint method to unlock the bootloader and it passed. Afterwards I have S1 Boot Version: r9A021 (notice the r) which means the bootloader is unlocked AFAIK. However I still have no access to fastboot. I can confirm that the phone is simlocked, and before having to pay to get it simunlocked, I want to make sure that doing so will finally enable fastboot.
Again, will having the phone sim-unlocked enable the bootloader to be unlocked, and more importantly gain access to fastboot?

Yes, the bootloader is unlocked, but fastboot is still disabled and phone SIM-locked. The only way to enable fastboot is via paid method.

That's exactly what I am asking. If the phone gets sim-unlocked, does that mean that fastboot will be enabled? What paid method are you referring to? Sim-unlock code? Or is there some other paid method?
Or to put it in better writing, what paid method is there to enable fastboot?

The paid-method is technically you go to your service provider,and ask them for an unlock code for your phone.Normally,you need to pay,but if you are lucky,they can give an unlock code for free :good:
The method to sim-unlock your phone (based on my reading in this forum ) is insert other SIM card that are different carrier,and turn on your phone.There will be a checkpoint which your phone asking for a code,at that time you insert the code that your service provider gave you,and after you enter the code,your phone will automatically sim-unlocked :highfive:
I'm sorry if some of my information is misleading,I hope someone can fix my mistake (if any though)
Or try this,who knows it might work?

I'm planing to buy an unlock code, just want to make sure that by simunlocking it will enable fastboot.
Only wanted to know if anyone knows that it is certain, because i have no need for simunlock other than enabling fastboot so I can flash kernels

I unlocked the sk17i of my son with another simcard and the code from my provider but... bootloader is still NOT allowed
Have you tried the testpoint method to unlock the bootloader?
Unlocking bootloader and sim unlocking both do separate things, but I'm hoping simunlocking + testpoint method will finally enable fastboot.
I'll purchase a simunlock code and post if that helps with enabling fastboot asap.

That's is called sim unlock,and it is used to unlock the phone to use other sim card provider...it also unlock fastboot in your son's phone
Well,the bootloader still can be unlock,see my previous post

Ok thanks guys you mean we can unlock bootloader even if it's written "not allowed" on *#*#7378423#*#* after simunlock
I will try it later ... when I can acces to the phone ^^
Hi XDA
I recently acquired a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact, but it seems that the bootloader cannot be unlocked (even after grabbing the code from Sony)
it says that the command isn't allowed, then I saw a post on a forum saying that not every bootloader can be unlocked.
I was wondering, since I have a unlockable* bootloader (which I assume there are ways to unlock it, because lets face it.. is there anything out there thats "locked" and hasn't been cracked into?
Anywho.
I have been to EVERY single "Phone repair / unlock" shop in my town, and none of them know what a bootloader is. So I decided to see if anyone here has managed to unlock their locked* bootloader.
If anyone can shed any light on this, it would be great.
Thank you.

It keeps saying I need to unlock the bootloader but it says when I try
"FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"
This is what I mean.. I can't unlock my bootloader.
Unless I'm missing something?
Anyone?
Have you tried with SONY?
Perhaps the easier solution is to start from SONY itself....

Guys.. it says "Bootloader unlock allowed: No"
Which means I can't use an official way to unlock the bootloader, what I need to know is if theres a different way I can unlock the bootloader. By flashing firmware, a different bootloader or any special utility to unlock the bootloader. Thanks

Anyone able to shed light on this? I really don't wanna have to sell the phone due to the bootloader being locked..
Especially not after scoring 43,000 in Antutu
are there such thing as a custom FTF file I could flash with a locked bootloader?
I couldn't find anything specific for this phone. All the tools/videos were made for other Huawei phones, so I'm skeptic to try them out.
I'm looking for a tool for PC which will help me unlock the bootloader on my Huawei Y6. I already got the code from the official Huawei site.
Also, recommend drivers which I'll need.
if you already got unlock password for boot loader now what?

I need a script/exe whatever to input the code so I can unlock the bootloader from my PC from what I saw in the videos I watched.
Don't trust that.
Install minimal adb and fastboot from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Go into that folder, press shift and right click, then click "Open command prompt here"
When it opens, write "fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxx" where xxxxxx is the code you received.
It should say "waiting for device".
Shut down your phone, connect it to the PC and turn it on using VOL UP + POWER.
Fastboot should do it automatically and unlock your bootloader.

Thats nice, but you're requesting in the wrong site. Have you tried a google site request?
I just did this tonight on my Huawei Y6 ATU L11.
Follow this guide first: dc-unlocker.com/how-to-read-huawei-bootloader-unlock-code
Then do this:
dc-unlocker.com/free-huawei-bootloader-unlock-tutorial
It's not free but it's worth it imo as stock on this phone is quite bad.
Can anyone make a tutorial on how to unlock the bootloader on this huawei Y6 with/without unlock code. Though I best prefer w/o unlock but even with unlock code will do. Thakns.
Did anyone find a rooting method for y6 2019 pro??? I've hunted posts everywhere to no avail, also tried getting bootlocker unlock code directly from huwaei, however, apparently they stopped giving these out a couple of years ago, I'm using this y6 2019 pro just now but it's pretty whack and they won't even upgrade it to andy10. Fookers playing god with their bootloaders. Give us em? any luck with it guys n gals?
Can you send me the code?
Pls send me the code sir/maam i really do need it i dont have money to use dc unlocker or any other kinds of $ hugry programs
If your kind enough send it to my email ?

There is no code because huwaei do not provide unlock codes, therefore each device including the y6 2019 remains with a locked bootloader, sell it and buy a Samsung or pixel
Hello all,
recently i bought from aliexpress redmi note 4x from a seller named Goldway, its a big reliable store.
when i typed in cmd "fastboot oem device-info" i saw the bootloader was unlocked.
i contacted the seller through messages and he said that in order to install global firmware they needed to unlock the bootloader.
I saw on the net information about official and unofficial unlock of the bootloader,
how can i know if my bootloader was unlocked officially or unofficially?
cuz i read some info about unlocking unofficially can cause a hard brick.
You should have asked the seller to not touch the device. But I guess that's not a problem, If there is an issue later with the device you can let it enter the warranty process.

I never heared of unlocking caused an hardbrick afterwards... such people du such misstakes. unlocking WILL delete ALL!!! your files but .. I dont think it schould brick it .. but IF the processes of unlock was interrupted it MAY hardbrick but unlocking is fast normally..
Hello Everyone,
is there a proper way to unlock the bootloader of the xperia pro-i? The sony webpage doesnt have this model available for the code request, so i'm a bit lost on how to do this. Thanks a lot for your help!
actually figured it out - on the sony site you can simply select the xperia 1 III, enter the imei and it will give you the correct code. Also if you want to relock the bootloader its the same command just with lock: fastboot oem lock 0x[your code]. Hope it helps.

I got a code selecting xperia 1 IV. Threw my valid and some random imeis with the last digits altered at it and it seems to always give the same key (17E1B6ED42D0F719), you could just try that maybe? (at your own risk, I know nothing about this stuff) Haven't been able to use it yet myself, as I have some fastboot driver issues to solve first... xD
