For the sake of this question I have a locked bootloader on a wt19i. The phone is rooted. (It's my friend's phone but I'm voicing a theory). It can't enter fastboot mode and the bootloader unlock status is: not allowed.
Armed with the IMEI number,
If I did a TA backup via Octopus Suite 1.0.3,
Then, (following methods seen in this thread: http://goo.gl/QNKxS Third post down.) to force the phone into fastboot, start a firmware (re)install in PC Companion. During that process the phone will enter fastboot mode. If I stop the process there [in Windows Task Manger], then the phone will get stuck booting only into fastboot mode (until I finish putting firmware .tft back on it).
THEN I use SE Bootloader Unlocking v1.6 {Found here: http://goo.gl/JxDmY }. I give it my IMEI, it gets an unlock code and I connect the phone - in fastboot - and select "Unlock BL" to unlock the bootloader.
Then restore TA, followed by a restore of firmware.
Would this unlock the bootloader or brick the phone?
Corrections and answers welcome.

I checked the thread you were referring to,
the process they are doing there is to access flash mode...
fastboot is completely different, can only be accessed if bootloader is unlocked.
based also on the bootloader unlock status: not allowed, this means phone is network locked, unlocking of bootloader would not work thru available methods in xda.
you would to pay in order to remove the network lock and then unlock bootloader

This would not unlock the bootloader,
Brick the phone, not sure, but it would probably wont, good thing you have a backup.
You can always do a flashing of stock firmware thru flashtool or wotanserver.

You can't unlock if it says
Bootloader unlock allowed: no

If it says
Bootloader unlock allowed: yes

Click to collapse
then you can unlock, look in my signature for a guide.
If it says
Bootloader unlocked: yes

your bootloader is unlocked.
You can check the state if you boot phone up, open dialer, type *#*#7378423#*#* -> Service Info -> Configuration
Please tell us what it says there, then we can help you

The problem is you tried to use that tool and the moment you have typed your IMEI and pressed get unlock code, you lost your warranty. So you have no warranty anymore!!
Now you will have to desimlock and after that you can just hope fasboot is enabled.
Install flashtool, open the installation folder > drivers and install all drivers for all devices. Install the android sdk (please better look in my signature to see how to set up android sdk and flashtool and replace the usb drivers). Then try to enter fastboot mode like explained in the threads
I got error when unlocking bootloader with flashtool (0.9.20.0)
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
I also tried with fastboot on commant prompt and got the same error.
And created a folder with my device's serial and put ulcode in it (folder is at flashtool/custom/mydevices) and got the error bootloader cannot be unlocked offically.
Rooting status in my device's service mode says unlock bootloader allowed:yes
My device is E6803
Is there anyone to help?
Any help?
Do you have OEM unlocking on in developer options?
Yeah man, I have. And that was the problem. Thanks for your help
Hi i have a tmobile Lg V10 H901, i'm in the Nougat update, did it by lg bridge this is the version it istalled H90130b_00_0523.kdz, today i tried to unlock my bootloader, first i checked the unlock bootloader option in developer tools, then i restarted via adb with "adb reboot bootloader", in the phone the bootloader screen told me the commands to unlock bootloader "fastboot oem unlock" and the command to check if the bootloader was already unlocked, i checked and it was locked, then i tried to do the unlocking and it worked with no code, it wiped my data and unlocked the bootloader, no need to request bootloader unlock code from LG.
I dont know if this is a normal behavior with nougat update, because i read that the only V10 available for bootloader unlock was the H960, maybe this will bring back the development for the Lg V10?
i hear this is normal for the H901, more info on the tmobile V10 section.
When I try to relock it, it says stat not match. Cant unlock too, says command not allowed. In fastboot mode, its: Phone unlocked, FRP locked. Help !
I want to unlock the bootloader on my Sony Xperia X Compact.
I have typed *#*#7378423#*#* in the phone app and made sure that the unlock is allowed. I am able to boot into the bootloader by sending "adb reboot bootloader" to the phone. Then I get stuck. The phone lights blue to indicate the bootloader is loaded but when I send "fastboot devices" nothing happens. If I send the unlock "fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x80EA1B94BF06DC54" it says waiting for device and nothing happens.
Any suggestion what to do? Thanks in advance.
