I am trying to unlock the bootloader but every tutorial ever says I need to get an unlock code from Huawei's own website, but the link does not exist on their website. There is no way to get the code to unlock the bootloader anymore. Is there another way than this block? If its relevant, after the unlock you flash twrp to it.

Hi all,
I used Davinci sim-unlock (now called 4SE) and it asked if I wanted to unlock the bootloader as well, I said yes.
I know know that this method is a patch not a real unlock. The sim is unlocked and that's fine.
If I try to unlock the bootloader using flashtool / similar method, will that restore the simlock on my phone? The phone did originally have a sim network lock. Some methods do seem to relock this and some don't, I don't know in my case. (the official Sony method doesn't work, it thinks it's unlocked already because of the patch and the relock option doesn't work either)
Thanks
Couple of things you might need to know
I've searched EVERYWHERE and not found an answer
Phone IS ROOTED
Phone is: Xperia RAY
its GSM Locked
Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO
Now thats cleared my problem
I've searched loads of places (including here) to find a way to unlock my bootloader, the official method does not work (the one through Sony's website) as my phones bootloader is not allowed to be unlocked
So the obvious question is, how do i unlock the bootloader?
There are many threads about that. You can try the paid method via "wotan server", but nobody can promise it will work
Try Setool. I haven't used it but some people say it can unlock bootloaders. http://files.setool.net/support/SETool2/

you can try testpoint method
you can unlock via setool, testpoint method, but if your phone says: Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO then the fastboot mode is disabled, so you can not flash custom kernels even you unlocked it
the only way is a paid method like wotanserver, which i used a year ago and i recommend it
Does anyone have any ideas as to unlocking the ZTE Z993? I know they have unlocked bootloaders, Fastboot, There's even Root and Custom Recovery out there for this device... But I'm trying to determine a way to network unlock them... Perhaps through an engineering bootloader, flashable through fastboot?

Very simple indeed M1k3Carson. Visit ZTEUSA Scroll down and select your carrier and product type... proceed by email or live chat and simply ask for the SIM unlock code. Your not required to give an explanation as to why you want the code, but if you feel the need; lets say for overseas carrier use. If you need further help with your ZTE Prelude z993; I have successfully rooted and flashed CWM on mine. Just email me @Ryan.G[email protected], or if your able, contact me through this site. Hopefully some ROM's will become available for this phone soon.
hi there,
like the title says im trying to flash a different / older/ stock ROM to see if i can unlock the bootloader and or if anyone knows a way i can root my device without the bootloader that would be great too but i think ive expended all my options..... if you can help in any way that would be great! thank you
also i have flashtool downloaded but can not get it to work with my device just keeps saying my bootloader can not be officially unlocked ..... can it be unofficially unlocked?
You have to use the Xperia M2 method to unlock the bootloader as there is still no official way.
There are more than enough guides in other topics where you can read how to unlock your bootloader. First enter the service menu(*"*"service"*"*) and check is it is allowed on your device. If it says 'no' there is no way to unlock. Also if you can unlock don't forget to tick the box in developer options
For root you can afaik just install twrp for locked bootloaders and flash a root (supersu for example)
thanks guys ,
yes i have looked into the tutorials and cannot seem to make it work.
i tried the m2 method and nothing either ..... my bootloader says it cannot be unlocked but ive been reading and apparently there is a way to get around it .... ive successfully flashed different ROMS to try and gain root access too but with no luck
so i guess im asking if anyone has had luck with unclocking there "locked" bootloader on an m4 or if it is even possible at all?
any help is greatly appreciated
Xiaomi won't give me permission to unlock the bootloader for some reason. Is there a way to unlock it without their official sanction?
Unfortunately, NO...
What reason should I give for unlocking my bootloader? They rejected my request when I said I wanted to install developer software
