Just picked up a C6806. Confirmed to have all device and adb/fastboot drivers installed.
Flashtool gives me the following:
Code:

10/029/2016 01:29:40 - INFO - You can now unplug and restart your phone
Trying it manually gives me the following:
Code:
C:\Program Files\Android-SDK\platform-tools>fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x(MYKEY)
...

finished. total time: 0.005s
I've flashed both 4.4 and 5.1.1 ROMS within flashtool, and it doesn't change anything. This is getting extremely irritating.

Already tried that, same error. When I go into the service settings it always says the device is not able to be bootloader unlocked.

....well there's your problem. If it says its not possible in service settings then its not possible.
Your device is probably bought from a vendor or carrier who then requested it to be flagged this way.

But I was under the assumption that all ZU were bootloader unlockable. Never even heard of a C6806 from a carrier. I don't have a SIM yet, but does that potentially mean this is carrier locked too (I do realize bootloader and SIM unlock are different)?

No not all Sony devices allows for bootloader to be unlocked. You have to investigate if the vendor asks for a modified bootloader or not before buying.
A similar thread with same problem below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612850
Sim carrier lock is easy to discover. Pop a sim in and see what happens. Try another sim from other carrier and look for results..
You either see a popup with some error or the network starts working.

C6806s were sold by Canadian carriers, Bell and Rogers, I'm not too sure about Bell, but XZUs sold by Rogers were bootloader unlock prohibited.

Now that the tablet z is launching worldwide, what would be the chances of being able to debrand the docomo version of the TZ?
I'm just wondering as I'm not sure how good docomo is at releasing updates.
First we need the SGP321 Firmware.
At the moment there is only the docomo FW available and the WiFi only version.
Maybe someone with a SGP321 device could provide it....

Im with you, I have DoCoMo and I just want to load the stock firmware.
But I found out the bootloader is set to no so cant unlock yet.
Do you know once we get a stock firmware will that unlock the DoCoMo sim lock?

Strange, I got mine from a dealer here in Hong Kong who never mentioned about any unlock and my local sim works in it fine, also xperiax10.awesome said a friend helped him buy his one from japan directly from docomo and didn't have to unlock it either.
some sites do seem to be offered sim unlock but it's rather pricy:

In my service menu there a X next to network lock so hoping a non DoCoMo firmware will mean an unlock

I was reading that the boot loader doesn't contain the sim lock so I assumed it was firmware based.

Yes, SIM-Lock is not dependent on Firmware
This is why you can flash different FW Versions to mobiles/tablets without any problems.
As from my knowledge the SIM-Lock is like a DRM-Key which is stored in the TA (TrimArea).
If you want to unlock your device you have to write the correct unlock code in the dialer, after this with an algorythm the DRM-Key is generated and stored in the TA.
To avoid any problems with SIM-Lock the Flashtool never flashes the simlock.ta file which is in some FTF Files.
The file is skipped

interesting.
If the key is stored in the TA and you unlock your bootloader the TA partition is removed on unlocking of bootloader, people are recommending to backup the TA partition to retain BRAVIA 2..so once you have the backup you could remove the any signs on the sim lock and once you restore it should be unlocked? hah
that's just my thinking....

I think here is an answer from a developer the best solution
You are right in theory, but I think when you remove the signs on the sim-lock the TA is not signed correctly anymore and it will not work. But this is just my thinking...
So for a correct answer we need a real DEV like DooMLooRD or Bin4ry or ....

Yes, Worldgsmcodes.com sent me the unlock code for my SO-03E in 72 hours.
Don't choose Xperia tablet z, choose tablet S, then the support will contact you to give them the IMEI of your XTZ and then they will send you the unlock code.
Works perfectly.
The Unlocking bootloader service sent me a code to unlock the bootloader, ( my XTZ says : Bootloader unlock allowed : No ), i tried this :
In the cmd windows type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
If a value is returned (it will return 0.5), it means the phone is correctly connected
Type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY and replace KEY with the key which u received earlier.
You're device should now be bootloader unlocked

check bootloader unlock status.
In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue if it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.
I think your bootloader cannot be unlocked.There is someway to unlock that type of bootloader but i cant remember now.Search it and reply please
But he says again. So I guess he had unlocked it then relocked it and now wants to unlock it again.

Check on another computer.
Request unlock token again from Sony. It might have been corrupted.
Close antivirus software.
All of these
When you go to the service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*) and check the bootloader status, does it say "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes" or does it say "Bootloader unlocked: Yes"?
If it is the second one it is already unlocked, and that's the only reason I can see it keep failing.

Hi guys, how y'all doing?
I've been trying to unlock the bootloader of my phone a couple of months now and every single attempt is a failure. I've done all the steps right but, in the Motorola website I receive a message that my phone don't apply for unlocking the bootloader.
Anyone knows anything about this, if it can be bypassed somehow or if has anyway to contact Motorola to get any information about this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Well, I can think of a few reasons why you can't unlock your bootloader.
1. The most obvious one: you haven't enabled OEM unlocking under developer settings.
2. You're not using a retail device. Only retail devices can unlock BL AFAIK. Non-retail devices are those sold by carriers (AT&T, Verizon, whatever else).
3. Your bootloader is not unlockable, even if its retail.
The 1st problem is easy to solve and I won't discuss it.
The other two are stored as variables on your bootloader and can be checked with the "fastboot getvar [x]" command, where [x] is the variable name.
The variables of interest here are:
1. "ro.build.version.full" - this tells if device is retail or not. It should return something like "retail.en.US" or "retail.xx.XX", depends on region.
2. "cid" - I have no idea cid stands for, but I think it's related to bootloader type.
3. Be aware that I don't know if the 1st variable has the same name on all motorola devices. In case of doubt, use "fastboot getvar all" to list all variables, then you can check manually.
Nowadays, it's not common for Motorola devices to have locked cids. In Lollipop/Marshmallow days, some devices had that issue where it was retail but impossible to unlock due to cid. The un-unlockable cids should be the same for all devices but you'll have to research, I don't remember which is which anymore.
SUMMARY:
1. check the developer setting "Allow OEM unlocking". It's a switch. If it's off, turn it on and you'll be able to unlock the BL
2. If that doesn't work, check if your phone is a retail model. If not, you're out of luck.
3. If it is retail and you can't unlock it, you are either providing the wrong unlock code to fastboot, or you have an unlockable cid, in which case you're also out of luck.
[edit]
Forgot to mention this, if your device has a mediatek CPU/SoC, forget about it, they're impossible to unlock too.

If it's the qualcomm version and it doesn't unlock it must be bc it must be either bc it is not retail or cid. If you're using a retail phone and cid is unlockable then keep trying/check unlock code/try asking for it again, whatever, it should work.
This is regarding unlocking bootloader on T-Mobile varient. There are two observations.
1) After device is SIM unlocked modification of the setting that was greyed out, 'OEM Unlocking' will be possible..2) Without device being SIM unlocked, modification of same setting is possible by performing the ADB command ("adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.qualcomm.qti.uim")Surely the manufacturer wouldn't make SIM unlocking as easy as performing a simple ADB command. But if not, wouldn't that imply that it is, in fact, NOT necessary for device to be SIM Unlocked to Unlock bootloader? It Don't make any sense.
Has anyone tried to unlock bootloader on SIM Locked device and did it work? what happened?
I took my SIM Locked T-Mobile N200 that I never paid a single month for and that was blacklisted and account sent off to collections.
I did ADB command to enable OEM Unlocking. Went to FASTBOOT and acquired the unlocking key. I sent key to ONEplus via their T-Mobile Unlocking webpage. And Oneplus responded a week later with my unlock_code.bin file.. DEVICE UNLOCKED
So I guess this would imply that ability to modify the greyed out OEM unlocking is the only way to unlock bootloader and NOT that 'device must SIM Unlocked' as instructed in the unlocking process.. Device being SIM unlocked is simply just ONE method of allowing modification of that setting? Right??
If you use the adb command and send your IMEI through the device unlock portal on OnePlus.com, you can be bootloader unlocked without being sim unlocked.
It just seems too easy for a T-Mobile locked Contract phone to be unlocked, don't they check the Device against some sort of database or something before providing you the unlock_code.bin??

The unlock_code.bin file lets you bootloader unlock the phone. This does NOT SIM/network unlock your phone... Though with T-Mobile you're supposed to be SIM unlocked before you can bootloader unlock, we just figured out how to bypass that.
They just linked the SIM unlock to the same thing we've been using, is my guess. I'd be interested to know if I'm right, but at this point, it's moot.

It got sim-unlocked after 180day, by simply pressing "unlock permanently" without using Metro or T-Mobile sim ever. after 180day however the phone is seems out of time (outdated).
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.
