My dragon touch x10 tablet express tablet with Android 5.1 has a locked bootloader.
Any clues how to unlock it?
Some of the generic instructions from around the web really don't help.
Thanks
Honestly, surely it isn't impossible to unlock the bootloader on this device. The instructions on the web are very brand specific.
On android 5.1 for this device, the bootloader is locked.
Someone must know?

Hi,
What exactly does a unlocked bootloader do except load custom kernels?
Does it mean that I can SIM-Unlock my two X10 Mini-phones?
If not, is there any cheap way to unlock the X10 Mini?
Cheers!
An unlocked bootloader only "allows" you to load fully customizable kernels and roms onto the phone. Devs can also port other OS and functions if needs be (theoretically). An unlock bootloader by itself does nothing. A dev will have to then make use of the unlocked bootloader
The x10 bootloader unlock method does not unlock network. You will need to do this separately
I believe also that there's a cheap way to unlock using Setools. Do a search via google to find different sites. Hopefully someone can provide a link to one that they know and trust.

You can remove the SIM lock with setools but I think you need an "unlock box" (equipment) for that. You can also just do it with cable and software from XperiaUnlocked for the Xperia x10 Mini
Hi guys,
i've bought the SK17i in Italy and this have the firmware 4.0.A.335 I need a lot root it and a easy tutorial for that (better if is videotutorial) I wait ur answer thanks a lot Tyrigi.
Same here.
there is only one way to root your mini at the moment.
its really complicated and there are no videos about it.
so i guess you should probably wait until there is a easier root solution
you can easily unlock the bootloader for getting rooted. it's not as difficult as you think.

Hello, i just bought an sk17i mini pro Orange branded. Of course i want to root it and I found a lot of solution, specially one on this board .But finally it doesnt work, my bootloader cant be unlocked because of brand. It's just here :

I found a 2nd solution on this board again but i don't understand if finally a branded sk17i bootloader can be unlocked or not. Some people say yes, and others no. I want to post a message but it 's in development area so i have to wait 10 messages.....and tis is my first one

Hy!
I have a same problem... I tried a lot of thing, but... If in your Service Menu it say "Bootloader unlock allowed: No", you can't do anything.
Every method need to boot Fastboot mode. If your phone is branded, and not allowed to unlock bootloader, you cannot start the Fastboot mode... Now.
The Branded SK17i Team waiting for the solution
pls try the s1 tool method. it's a little complicated. but you can do it. and the you will not lose your DRM.
I tried it... I can't enter Fastboot mode.
I think s1tool TP method is only work if your Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes...
tell me exactly what you did to enter into the fastboot mode?
@irumbustalin, do you mean s1tool can unlock branded sk17i?
If not, as soon as Orange unsimlock my phone, will i be able to root it after?
Thanks a lot,
Sorry but UP UP!
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
So I know this has been asked a million times before, unfortunately I'm way too unfamiliar with flashing/rooting etc to understand what most threads try to explain.
It would be so awesome if somebody could answer my questions in the simplest possible language.
Right off the bat I must say that I have a Sony Xperia M4 Aqua E2306, and almost all instructions that I find reference other variants of this device. So would they be
compatible with my phone?
All I need is to get plain and simple root on my phone. I do not need a custom recovery or anything like that (unless of course it is necessary for rooting).
Here is all the info about my device that I think may be relevant:
Sony Xperia M4 Aqua, E2306, originally with Fido (Canada), now network unlocked.
Android version: 6.0.1
Build number: 26.3.A.1.33
In the service menu, it says "Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No."
First, do I need to unlock the bootloader to be able to root my phone? If so, is there is really no way to unlock it on my device?
Second, could someone point me to a thread with a rooting method that would work specifically on my device, based on the info above (and unlock the bootloader, if applicable)?
Thank you
