Hello, I have a tablet with a non unlockable bootloader. I make a search but I don't see a way to convert it to a unlockable bootloader. There isn't a way to make it unlockable yet?
Thanks in advance!

Hello!
Some operator devices have non-unlockable bootloader. There is no way to unlock it at all.

well, thanks for your answer!
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.

Hi all,
I've got my Xperia S which was locked to Three UK however they've just given me the unlock code therefore it's now running on Orange UK.
Just a quick question, if I was to unlock the bootloader, root, then re-lock the bootloader...would that work? Or would I loose my root access?
Thank you,
Matt

Not 100% sure but I think I read somewhere that network locked handsets can't be bootloader unlocked, just can't find it now. If you type *#*#service#*#* you can check if unlockable in one of the menus

Yeah after having a look, i've found the bootloader can't be unlocked which is a massive shame. Reckon there will be a way round it in the future? I'd love to root my Xperia

It usually takes a while till everyone start working on a new device as this is brand new and still not available everywhere and keeping the high price in mind.
Acr had the very same problem and Blagus found a way and I am sure he is working on it as we speak to unlock the bootloader on all devices (locked to carrier) and hopefully there will be root available for devices with locked bootloader soon.
All you need is patience.
Goood Luck.

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.

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.
scoobydu said:

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

Have you enabled Xperia protection? that will not allow you to unlock the bootloader, you need to turn it off.

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.

Hello,
I have been trying to research how bootloaders get unlocked without manufacturer help and not coming up with many results. I want to learn how to root and unlock bootloaders and create recoveries and everything to help out accessing and customizing devices, but trying to find things to read and learn about those topics hasn't turned up much helpful threads or info at all, if anyone could direct me to where I could learn how to do all those things that'd be awesome! Also, thinking about bootloader for vs990, could we not just take an unlocked t-mobile bootloader and customize to the correct paths and values for vs990? What about the kdz file, can that be used to modify the boot security and unlock the bootloader or not? Thanks for the info and your time in advanced!

That method doesn't work on vs990, Verizon locked it down so when you try to get to bootloader even through adb reboot bootloader it just reboots to the system. No fastboot commands possible.

Damn, looking at buying a V10 now that it has root, but a locked bootloader equals an unhappy phone.

Well we did just get root a week ago... So don't give up hope just yet, give it a little more time and hopefully they'll crack through the security or overwrite the boot partition all together or something so we can get custom roms.
As of 3/24/2016, they have not unlocked the bootloader nor made any recovery system for the LG V10.

Sadly. That's why I was hoping for someone to know of some resource I could use to learn how to crack the bootloader to unlock it and to get twrp up and running on v10. There is an unofficial twrp for t-mobile v10.

More power to you. Best option right now is to write Verizon a crap ton of letters and see if they'll unlock the bootloader.

Hey, it worked in Shawshank Redemption lol. Just write them the same exact letter, every day.
I have been surfing the web for couple of days to find a way to unlock the bootloader for LG G5 H860, but i couldnt find any thing
could any one help me with that ?
not possible. H850 EU only... as stated on the official site as well as the XDA G5 thread for bootloader unlocking.
To expand on what @autoprime said, at the moment, the only model that can have the bootloader unlocked is the H850.

probably not YET possible. We still have to wait for someone to discover an exploit. Non-unlockable bootloader doesn't necessarily mean no root forever, there are billions of ways out there to do it, but no one has found it yet for our variant. I remember rooting my Xperia Acro S without unlocking it (even though it was possible at that time). I love the phone anyway, even without root.
any update about unlocked boot loader for h860 (dual sim)?
Thanks!

I've graduated to the G5 from the G3, the bootloader for which was locked down tight by LG. The geniuses working on the G3 developed an exploit called Bump! that let users flash ROMs on the G3 despite its locked bootloader. It would be nice if something equivalent could be developed for the G5.
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)??

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