Hi,
I've been wandering around the forum for a week and can't find a solution. So far I have not dared to ask, but I really need assistance. Soon I unlocked the bootloader through the official site of the Motorola. Then I installed a TWPR recovery and installed a Lineage 16, but I didn't like it. I tried 15 and also didn't like it and decided to go back to stock ROM. I followed this instruction https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/how-to/how-to-relock-bootloader-moto-z-xt-1650-t3821817. Yes, I managed to get the stock rom, but the bootloader remained unlocked. The phone was purchased from Telenor Bulgaria - RETEU version. Another thing that impressed me was when I rebooted to bootloader and show me a Product / Option Sheridan XT 1650-3 32GB P3B, and I remember it was Griffin before. I ask for your patience and guidance and I apologize in advance. I apologize for my English!
I received two OTA updates, the last one being a security patch by July 2018. I hoped these updates would lock my bootloader, but it didn't work. For as long as I can remember before unlocking the bootloader and putting in a custom rom, I received an official securit update by December 2018.
If no one can help me, can you tell me where to ask. I can assist with any questions if you want details about my device.
Thanx
I've re-locked the bootloader on my Moto Z last year. I can't remember exactly what I did but I think it was something like what is outlined here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77177509&postcount=110

Thanks for the reply. As I wrote, I followed the same locking method, but it does not work. Maybe I'm not using the right firmware and that's not it. Thats why I wanted someone here to just tell me exactly what I should show him from my phone data to tell me which firmware is right.
I did it! Please close the thread!

Hi guys!
Thanks in advance for your help on this matter!
I have been patiently waiting for the official ICS update to arrive for my SE NEO (MT15) since way back when. I know O2 publicly announced they weren't going to bother updating but does anyone know if the Orange UK (now EE) will ever update this phone? Its SI is 1253-7641 if that is any help? Sony are no longer updating their thread of SI numbers so all might be lost in the change from SE to Sony and from Orange to EE!!
I have looked at doing this manually but am worried that as my phone is network locked I might brick it. Also in order to use custom ROMs there seems to be some touch-point modification which worries me too! (I might be wrong on these things).
Thanks again for your time!
1st thing you need to Unlock it from the Network, then unlock the boot loader (optional), & then Install the custom Rom whatever ICS ROM you like or even stock one.

Doesn't network unlock require a testpoint procedure? I know bootloader does. I am very hesitant to fiddle with hardware like that.
If information on whether or not Orange (EE) are going to ever produce an update I might wait until my contract runs out in a couple of months and get a new phone!
If you just want to use stock fw, simply flash it with falshtool, no need for SIM unlock or bootloader unlock.
I bought a P769 to use internationally and have no T-mobile plan (I use Sprint in the USA). I want to get CM 10.1 on it. What are my options? From what I understand, I need to get the OTA Jellybean update in order to unlock in order to flash CM10.1.
Thanks.

There are plenty of tutorials available. Read a bit.
You will need to have T-Mobile unlock the device for non-T-Mobile sim cards.

You don't need OTA Jelltbean to unlock bootloader and flash CM10.1, but you need a unlock code to unlock the network/SIM lock to use other SIM than T-Mobile. You can buy the unlock code from eBay.
I don't believe P769 can work on Sprint.

I already unlocked the phone's SIM for international use. That's not my question. (eBay solution was used). Of course not to be used on Sprint.
Can someone at least point me to which tutorial to follow? I'll tell you what I tried [GUIDE][JB] Unlock Bootloader and FASTER Root L9 Method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221102. When I did the adb reboot oem-unlock command, the phone just restarted. I assumed this was because I have Ice Cream Sandwich which does not have the oem-unlock command.
I am sorry if I am asking a stupid question. I assumed the guides on here required the JB update which does have an unlocked bootloader apparently.
Is this the one to use? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198114. This one suggests that we should wait for JB update. Is there any way to manually install the JB update instead of going through what seems to be a difficult procedure?

As kevev said, read a bit. Maybe a bit more.
Regarding qingz's answer to your Sprint information it is easily assumed that you were trying to use Sprint since you mentioned it. There are a lot of questions by a lot of people in a wide range of expertise. Always think of how what you ask will be perceived/interpreted by others to get the best answer for yourself.
Keep a humble attitude of learning and you'll go far, if not people won't answer our questions if we come off brash and know-it-all-ish.
To root, I just did using cmahendra's offline flashing method. It is easily on the first page of the L9 forum. It is a beast to accomplish, but go for it. Please note, when you get to step 11 you cannot "sit back with your hands folded behind your head" as it says, you have to go *back* to the original instructions and copy/paste a file. I share this because that part was not clear, and cost me about 5 or 6 hours of time with re-doing the steps over and over again.
Good luck!

Make sure you follow to a tee, read original bl unlock thread and make sure your wifi is on and connected to internet. Wait at least 1 hour before issuing command.
So I have the moto E second generation LTE (4 G)
The Surina XT1524 variant.
I watched the official "how to root" video from XDA and the guy rooting it had the XT1527 variation does this matter ?
Can I just follow the guide or will I get trouble doing so.
Also can I go back to the official stock ROM and kernel with a locked boot loader after I flash the new squid kernel ?
Can I still keep my warranty if I root and flash a new kernel on it or is this a "no way back " situation ?
There must be a way to reverse it right ?
Sorry for being a noob!

When your phone has its bootloader locked, and has never been unlocked, it has a special code that can be checked through fastboot. If you unlock it for any reason, in this case for flashing a recovery and rooting, the code will say that's unlocked. If you re-lock it, it'll have another code, and this is what the carrier or Motorola checks to see if the warranty is still valid; so if you unlock the bootloader, it'll have no warranty.
It doesn't matter what variant you have, the recovery is for all variants, and the SuperSU (root) is universal.
In case you **** up real bad, you can save your phone, you can restore stock firmware, you can follow this guide. The firmware for your phone can be found in this FileFactory folder.
Thanks for the info !
Is there anyway to root my phone without unlocking the boot loader?

I'm sorry, there's no way to root your phone without unlocking the bootloader.
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...
Hey Guys,
I don't speak really good English but I will try my best to describe my problem because I really need your help.
I bought a XZ1 with Version SOV36. The bootloader is locked. Also if I look in the Service Info via "*#*#7378423#*#*" it's written "Bootloader unlock allowed: No". I activated the OEM Bootloader unlock in the developer options but I don't think that this will have any impact.
I need to install any standard Rom without the massive bloatware i got on this phone. A lot of it is not deactivateable. I tried to install a custom kernel but i can't get into the bootloader. So I also can't install twrp or magisk or root or anything else. I found the device via "adb devices" but if I run "adb reboot bootloader" the phone reboots with black screen and a blue LED. No further commands are working or getting any connection via adb after this happens. I tried a lot of ways written down in this forum how to get it done but none of them worked.
The Build-Number is:
47.2.C.1.126
Kernel Version:
4.4.148-pref+
#1 Tue Sep 17 10:47:56 2019
Security patch:
1. October 2019
Thanks a lot for your help!
As it is the "odd ball" version of the XZ1 and the Service Menu says no to the bootloader being unlocked but maybe some one will pop in with a bit more info..
But in the meantime have a read over here.. https://www.liberamenteweb.it/en/gu...ed-apps-from-android-9-sony-xperia-xz-premium , it will help you with your bloat ware issue...
and have a look here.. https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...devonly-exploits-temp-root-to-backup-t3795510
For others which may have the same problem:
https://king.mineo.jp/my/kangetsu/reviews/item/35887
Here you could find a list of packages you need to uninstall if you want to completely remove the AU-Bloatware.
I'm still looking forward to a solution which could help to unlock the bootloader but didn't find one yet.

Sov36
I got a unit too recently. My tethering and volte is disable outside Japan. I wondered if it is an au kddi problem or my network. I have not installed bootloader on any unit for some time. It is possible with this model?

I have SOV36 with bootloader unlocked. You have to check if bootloader is unlockable. I hope this helps.

Try downgrading to first version of Pie for SOV36. I unlocked on when it was on first version of Pie. Give that a try.
