Hello!
I want to install a custom rom, but EVERY rom has a Unlocked Bootloader.
It's okay, but every bootloader's tutorial have a very big important like this:
"If your phone's manufacture date is 11W29 or PAST 11W29, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER. IT WILL MOST LIKELY RESULT IN A HARD BRICK (though some users managed to successfully unlock)."
My phone's manufacture date is 11W49.
So, what can i do?
Sony XPERIA X10 mini pro
With many thanks, SnikerFreak

My suggestion is not to try n unlock ur bootloader as chances of survival are less...some users have also managed to unlock with 11W29 and past...good luck matters..:good: sometimes...
Hello, I know there are tutorials about unlocking the bootloader, but in the case of the P769, is the most difficult of all, so give you some data to see that tutorial or steps should I take to unlock it without problems:
- L9 P760 T-Mobile, 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, V20H (and says that according to LG software, already has the latest version), root and recovery (CWM)
As I said, I have seen many tutorials, but too confusing, and according to what I read, the V20H is an open verison, and not if I can skip the process of installing the kdz V20B (which looks to open the bootloader)
Please I need to unlock the bootloader, confirming what I want most of all if you need to install v20b kdz or not? or at least a simple tutorial for unlocking, thanks.

I hate to bust your bubble but if your P769 ( USA T-Mobile ) was made after March 2013, if memory serves, the bootloader is NOT unlockable. I think the MetroPCS P769 can be unlocked however but don't quote me on that. The only way, if at all possible, is the lengthy process you've already mentioned. For the P769, there is no such thing as a simple tutorial for unlocking the bootloader. Most of the P769 users, myself included, have moved on to other devices because of the inability to unlock the bootloader.
I should also mention that there are tons of threads related to this. Research and XDA's search feature are your friends. XDA prefers it's members to search and search again before creating redundant or duplicate threads.

I understand, I just like to confirm that with the long method (install v20b kdz , wait 30 minutes-1 hour, use the commands in ABD) chance of unlocking the bootloader? O is permanently blocked?
And if it is impossible to unlock, Even I can install roms for phones with locked bootloader?
Now I have understood that it is difficult to unlock in this model, but at least I want to know if there is even a possibility. Thank you

Yes you can flash ROMs for locked bootloaders assuming you have 2nd-init recovery installed.
The chances of unlocking your bootloader are extremely slim at best.
Just recently purchased the Xperia Z2 Tablet and I'm very disappointed to find that I can't unlock my bootloader. I read a post on here that mentioned it was still possible to install CM on a locked bootloader. Could anyone explain to me how I could do this or link me to a thread that will help? Here's my device info:
Model SPG561
Android v4.4.4
Build 23.0.1E.0.208
Currently unrooted.
I actually got this today after returning a tablet just because I couldn't install CM or unlock the bootloader. I'm very close to just returning this and getting a different one. If I'm **** out of luck with the Z2, could anyone recommend a Verizon LTE tablet, with good specs, that will allow me to unlock the bootloader? I'm getting desperate.
Thanks for any help.

I can't see how you could flash CM on a locked boot loader as it requires a custom kernel.
I don't know anything about the Samsung tablets on vzw but I suspect they are locked down. The LG tablet can be "unlocked" with bump but its a piece of garbage. If the Nexus 9 is available for vzw its probably your only chance at getting an unlocked boot loader. Some of kindle fire tablets can be unlocked as well but they need to be on older firmware AFAIK
Unlocl boot loader
Yes you can unlock bootloader by going the sony site and follow the instructions. I ask you for the emei number ad other things. but follow the instructions carefully.
2nd option. Use Sony mobile flasher by androxyde it works perfectly well on mine. But if youneed to update or upgrade through Sony Compagnon, you will need to relock bootloader, install update and the (re) unlock bootloader. It works for me...
I'm looking into buying the ZTE Blade G Lux and I read somewhere here that all ZTE phones come with an unlocked bootloader, is this true?
If not, does anyone know a legitimate process to unlock the bootloader for this phone?
Thanks.

I don't think all ZTE phones have unlocked bootloaders though I have never used one or really saw much interest into them myself. I don't think theres really any "legitimate" ways to unlock a ZTE Blade G lux bootloader though, but you can try unlocking the bootloader with bootloader unlocking tools such as the one in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...l/tool-master-tool-unlock-bootloader-t2997696
It tells you all the steps you have to follow and if it doesn't work you can always try ask the OP to port (make) a tool for your phone
I have a Verizon S4 Mini that I have been dying to try to get this bootloader unlocked. I know there isn't one available, but I am wondering if there is any documentation on any of the Samsung bootloader unlocks. I'd love to dive into bootloader unlocking but don't know enough, so does anyone know of any documentation?
