My phone is currently sim locked to my carrier but I want to unlock my sim as I am planning on switching to a different carrier. I've been reading about unlocking the bootloader and it seems there are issues with using 3rd party simunlocks before unlocking the bootloader unless you are using an setool2 unlock.
setool2 is far to expesnive for me and I would rather use a cheaper 3rd party unlock code. My question is if i were to do the bootloader unlock first since my phone is still locked...and then after my bootloader has been unlocked apply a 3rd party sim unlock code, will this cause issues?
Everything i've been reading about is about people doing sim unlock FIRST and then doing bootloader unlock. But i want to do bootloader unlock first and then do simunlock AFTER.

I wanted to know the Exact same thing... I just got an unlock code from cellunlocker. but when i put in a diff sim card it says sim is perso locked. that's besides the point. I read that by doing bootloader unlock the cell manufacturer drops the IMEI i believe from the update list. Idk if they do it for the unlock code list too. or just drops your IMEI all together. I want to figure this out before doing a bootloader unlock...
Is it possible to relock the network lock because I am getting SIM NOT RECOGNISED in s1tool and just wondering if I relock it will it change to recognised and I want to unlock bootloader...
bump... I unlocked my phone using JIC (Plasmatool) and I am getting SIM NOT RECOGNISED just wondering if there is a way to reverse it and unlock bootloader then unlock it again?
Will this guide help me unlock my phone or will it disable my radio and causing me to unlock it again in order to fix it: www.modaco.com/topic/346145-how-toguideunlock-x10-bootloader-permanently/
Guys why we dont have OEM unlocking option ?
does that mean we will never be able to unlock the bootloader?
Verizon never allowed bootloader unlocking.
Well title says it app. Is there any hack or mod to activate this. I am in serbia so i doubt se will ever get it officialy since se are not in EU
Wait next update and you will solve the problem.
Hi, I'm about to unlock my bootloader - miunlock is ready to go, waiting period elapsed etc.
If I do this, will I lose face unlock?
The tool suggests I will - it states that when you unlock you lose fingerprint unlock, but I've assumed that's just the saved data - that you can reprogram your prints. I'm wondering if it's the same for face unlock, that you just have to teach it your face again, or if one the BL is unlocked, the feature is disabled.
Also, does mitool allow you to relock the bootloader?
Sorry for the noob questions - I've messed about with unlocking on a lot of other devices, but Xiaomi's approach is new territory to me
Hi, I must send my Phone on warranty. I have unlock bootloader (official sony site), and this metod not copy my drm key, how lock bootloader?
you are confused
1.- unlock key = unlock code: is a code from sony by IMEI for unlock and relock bootloader
2.- DRM keys : "Digital Rights Management" and mainly is used with sold eBooks/PDFs and the like (and also for sold music files plus maybe even videos). Those keys are to identify your ID as to prove if you have permission to access those documents
drm keys they make the sony improvements work, like: triluminos, miracast, screen mirror, sound and camera quality, if you lose this keys poor of you, there is no way to recover them only with a new phone
if you lose the unlock key, only ask for them again

but there is no way to relock the bootloader, with or without unlock key. there is no appropriate fastboot command (e.g. lock, relock or whatever...)
As far as i know, you can relock bootloader just reinstallig the original ROM with EMMA (there are some modified accessible version of this program online somewhere).

It changed my device customisation from Singapore to Central Europe.
It didn't lock the bootloader for me either

Pretty curious, on z3 it works. Well, as far as i know, should exist a lock bootloader command for adb, search for it.
There's a "Relock" button in Flashtool by Androxyde, or you can try "fasboot oem lock"

You can't relock bootloader on xz1. If you can you will be the 1st one
