Hey guys,
I got a problem.
Bought a second hand z2 today and it sayt it got a update 17.1.2.A.0.314
When I dontload it it sayt cant verify,same with pc companion,but then it says this phone has custom software or something.
I suspect,unlocked bootloader,but when I try to relock bootloader with flash tool it sayt,this phone can not be unloaded officialy?
Someone know how I can fix this?
and is there a way how to check if bootloader is unlocked,like Samsung when u boot with power button and volume up.
Thnx
Go to your dialer and enter *#*#7378423#*#*. Then go to Service Info -> Configuration. What is indicated under Rooting status?
If it says "Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes", this means that your bootloader is still locked but can be unlocked.
If it says "Bootloader Unlocked - Yes", then it means that your bootloader is already unlocked.
If it says "Bootloader unlock allowed - No", then it means your bootloader can never be unlocked.
If your bootloader is indeed unlocked and you want to flash stock firmware, you cannot use PC Companion. You need to use Sony Flash Tool instead.
I faced the same problem. If you have modified any system files (like build.prop) or removed/uninstalled any system apps, then it will error out with the "can't verify".
Just revert all changes you made, re-install and system apk u removed, and try again.
HI .... I have found the method by which you can unlock your bootloader whit one click.
First check the status of the bootloader you enter the call application and you will be able to * # * # 7378423 # * # *. Unlocking Bootloader Unlocked: yes.
You must have active developer options-in the developer option you will check the usb debug and OEM unlock you will find above, so with that you will be able unlock the bootloader ....
Go to the site: https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/... there is no support for xperia xz1 but there is support for xperia xz, you will select xperia xz , all you need is the IMEI and the unlock code that you receive the first email, you will receive the correct code because your IMEI it is unique...
Download from the link below SE Bootloader_Unlocking_Relocking, open it, turn off the phone and connect it in Fastboot mode. In this program in the first top box you will enter the IMEI and in the second box you will enter Unlock code ... and press on Unlock BL ... That's all you have to do..

To check the status of the bootloader you enter the call application and you will be able to * # * # 7378423 # * # *. Bootloader unlock allowed : yes and after unlocking you must show Bootloade Unloked: yes
This is the link to youtube where it will show that the bootloader is unlocked:

TO REMEMBER !!! IF THE BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED, YOU WILL LOSE DRM KEY, THIS WORK WAS TO A PHOTO CAMERA PROBLEM WHERE YOU WANT TO DO PICTURES INCLUDING THE FACEBOOK YOU WILL COMPLETE THE GREEN CLOCK ONLY THE FILM WORKS NORMALLY !!! THIS WORK CAN BE REDUCED WITH XperiaFIX or FLASHU-IND IN RECOVERING A FISIER.ZIP ... THESE FIND YOU ON XDA ... I WANT TO NOTIFY YOU HAVE YOU TO KNOW WHAT YOU WILL COMPLETE IF YOU WANT TO UNBLOCK THE BOOTLOADER. BUG SEVES THE MAJORITY OF PHONE THROUGH SONY. THERE IS THE VOICE FOR THEIR SAFETY.

I had a problem with the network and I did not post it when I forgot it appeared five times, the idea is that the rest I deleted, not yet deleted from what I see, that was your problem ????
otherwise I do not understand what you mean. Download the program and use IMEI and unlock code....
I've unlocked my bootloader on my xperia xz1 phone and I've shared it with others ... better let it go...

Let me tell you once again that I posted several times in error
* What do you want to tell me do not understand .....
I cannot access the mega download link.
What is this program used for, anyway?
I mean, what's the advantage of your method to the official one on the Xperia webpage?
PS: I marked your other threads for deletion.
I have removed all the duplicate threads and moved it to general section. Please refrain from going off-topic.

I added a new link to google drive, it's a simple way to unlock, so I unlocked my bootloader and thought to share with others, it seems to me the easiest way to unlock the bootloader, with just one click.....

No way ?

Hello, I'm wondering if someone can answer a slightly n00b question?
I have not unlocked my bootloader since it could be unlocked without messing with DRM and since then I have been relying on methods that can be done with a locked bootloader. I now have an unlockable bootloader and at the point with not being happy with unrooted restrictions.
I am wondering about unlocking and wanted to know all the cons of unlocking these days? With the DRM fix do we actually keep everything?
How about widevine and pictures is all that the same as before?
I have searched but many people say different things and everything is conflicting. Some people say that widevine drops to L3
Thanks in advance
I have a G8342, and in the service menu it says "bootloader unlock allowed: Yes", but in developer settings the "OEM Unlocking" option is greyed out.
Can I do anything about that?
*edit* never mind, I figured it out. It needed to have an internet connection to enable the option, so I enabled wifi. I don't know why they're related.

When I run the ADB command ( fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock [unlock code] ) it says "waiting for device." The only screen I see on the bootloader is black with a blue notification LED. The process doesn't work because it never stops waiting. Any solution?
To be fair, I haven't waited in the menu for more than a few minutes. I'll update this message after I've left it for a while.

An Xperia XZ1 Compact. adb devices, adb bootloader all worked. The device is recognized when powered on using such commands.
I tried the fixes for "waiting for device" like USB 2.0, using the official ADB software, and installing the right drivers, and I still run into the same error.
