Unlock bootloader - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

I want to root my E2303 and install TWRP. But i believe i need to unlock bootloader first. Correct?
When i do the following, my phone says NO.
In your device, open the dialer and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.
Is there any other way to unlock?

Is there any unofficial method?
I want to install a custom rom, does this mean there is no way doing that?

Any.. Try different ftf versions, maybe it will help you. If your device don't have sim lock of course

Question about Unlock Boot and PCCompanion.

I read in some places, including here at XDA that when you unlock the bootloader no longer more updates by PCCompanion in your device, it simply does not seek information about upgrading. Gives error.
Turns out I unlocked the bootloader of my Xperia S, I root, and still recognizes PCCompanion and sought an update (0.75).
I ask: It is possible that my Xperia S don't have unlocked bootloader? But as I got to root it?
Where can I check if the bootloader is even unlocked or not? Root it has, but PCCompanion is recognizing and seeking to update, and this is strange...

Try go to *#*#7378423#*#* --> Service info --> Configuration
If Bootloader is not unlocked, it says "Bootloader unlock allowed: [Yes/No]"
If Bootloader is unlocked, it says "Bootloader unlocked: Yes"

Ok, my XS is Unlocked = Yes.
I can update with PCCompanion in this case ?
Or brick my device ?
Thanks.

Many XPS users in Thailand said they saw the update but couldn't download it. It appears they have unlocked boot loader.
Therefore, I think PCC doesn't allow you to update unless you relock BL. But it shouldn't brick your device.

Try unlocking your bootloader again.
Cause your bootloader might be locked.
Press thnx if u like my answer.

It says device must be rooted, what it actually tries to say is bootloader is not unlocked.
Unlock bootloader, or try a kernel which works on locked one

Bootloader unlock allowed : yes means bootloader not unlocked.

2. Did you unlock the bootloader and want relock this?
3. The most important!!! How you unlocked the bootloader if you did unlock this? What the tools you used? The official Sony or from third part?
So, please, write detailed yours problem if you need the help. We cannot help to fix repercussion if you don't say the reason
Xperiavely, Bofino
Hello,
Well, I wanted to experiment with Gcam - Camera2api etc and other mods!
Since I can't find yet anything that works with this model, I wanted to re-lock the bootloader and remove the message on start up "Bootloader is unlocked etc etc" and also revert back to original firmware.
I used flashtool - latest version 9.28 (Androxyde) and successfully unlocked the bootloader!
When I tried to re-lock it (As I have done this with previous Xperia phones) I got the error in the 1st post!
If you need any more details please let me know!
Thank you,
John.

I did the same thing using fastboot unlock command. But for now there's no way to fix this. Flashing the stock firmware, does not fix the issue. In fact it worked on some of the previous devices. But this time I don't see any solutions. I even tried so many commands using fastboot. But non of em worked. Let's hope that Sony will release some kind of commands to relock the bootloader.

Cant root Samsung Galaxy S9+ Snapdragon

I've tried following multiple guides to root my phone with IodeOS. However, anytime I try I keep getting various error messages. Most guides say I need to enable "OEM Unlock" in developer settings. I've had developer mode enabled for more than 7 days and still don't have this option. I've tried all the suggestions of turning off auto update and setting the clock back 7 days, checking for updates then turning the clock forward and checking for updates again, but no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Not sure it matters, but it was bought through Verizon.
you can't even unlock bootloader therefore no broad root method available. few years back there was combination ROM exploit Extreme Syndicate Root. but because downgrade is not possible, there is no deal for you
Yes you can unlock the bootloader even if on bit9 bootloader. My At&t S9+ is rooted. Its a service but you can unlock bootloader and root
United States Snapdragon devices do not have oem unlock..and if it shows up its useless
Extreme Syndicate is outdated.

How can i unlock the bootloader completely then i read most of the guides related to bootloader unlock and did the same
The OEM Unlock toggle will be missing in Settings > Developer options.
What do you do before this happened.?
I can't log in to the phone. Through frp bypass I'm not able to enable developer settings.
This i what i actually did.
I unlocked bootloader and flashed stock rom and after restart this happened
