Hello!
I wrote the following email to Sony Developer World, but they asked me to post it here.I don't know why I should do this because this page is not meintained by Sony. But hoping that Sony will give me a definitive answer I do as they asked me for:
[start of email]
I haven’t understood your risk explanation on your „Unlock your boot loader“ page because to my mind it is a little bit unprecise:
You wrote there:
“Risks
Please be aware that Sony cannot guarantee the full functionality, and will not be responsible, for any unsigned custom ROM being flashed to your device after the boot loader is unlocked. An unsigned custom ROM may not have gone through the thorough tests that we run for each device and software version that we release.
Also, a custom ROM might not work properly on your device, and certain functions and offerings may cease to work. The performance of the device might also be affected, and you may damage your device permanently. In worst case, unlocking the boot loader will cause physical injuries or material damage, for example, due to the device overheating.
Certain pre-loaded content on your device may also be inaccessible due to the removal of DRM security keys. For high-end devices running recent software versions, for instance Xperia Z3, the removal of DRM security keys may affect advanced camera functionality. For example, noise reduction algorithms might be removed, and performance when taking photos in low-light conditions might be affected. The secure user data partition may also become inaccessible, and you will not be able to get any more official software upgrades if you unlock the boot loader.
After unlocking your device, you should not enable My Xperia (found in the settings menu under security on some devices running Android 5.0) as this might cause the device to malfunction.”
I don’t understand the red marked sentence. So my question concerns the removal of the DRM security keys because I haven’t found out who and when they are removed:
WHO removes the DRM security keys? Is it done by SONY when unlocking the bootloader (and why do you do that?) or is it a risk caused by installing custom ROM’s or recovery images?
And what will happen if I’ll unlock the bootloader of my Sony Xperia Z5 compact via the integrated function “OEM unlock”? Will the DRM security keys deleted any way using this or will they be preserved? And will I be able to lock the bootloader again?
Regards
Ansgar

It's done automatically if you unlock the bootloader, i.e. "by Sony".

Most likely, but the DRM keys cannot be restored. They are forever lost.
sorry, that's bull****.
remove the bootloader lock in developer settings and you will see, that Marlin, Widevine and CKB are still active and reported as "key ok"
and no, Sony does not remove them, you do it while flashing.
BTW. there are already early attempts in flashing, and yes they have deleted their DRMs. and no, there is no way to bring them back.
however, for the time being: keep the bootloader closed, as you've no benefits from unlocking it, yet.

Dude, you should relax. There's no manure in my post.
You have misunderstood the toggle in the developer settings menu. It does NOT unlock the bootloader.
The toggle only disables some software features that would cause trouble if you actually choose to unlock the bootloader.
Bootloader in unlocked using fastboot oem unlock, as always.

Well, I'm relaxed, but you help no-one in posting wrong stuff.
Lets make it simple:
Compare it with a simple door and a door guard.
The door guard has order only to let you in, having a specific key.
In order to get this key, e.g. for the z3 family:
Go to Sonys webpage, register, download the key.
procedure for the z5c:
go into developer settings, enable: OEM unlock.
This corresponds to: Tell the guard, no key is required anymore.
Setting the flag of making something accessible is called "unlock" - so: in fact you can call it "unlock the boot loader" by enable the "OEM unlock" in Developer Settings*.
fastboot oem unlock does much more.
In my example:
go to the door,
ask the guard: is door open / already unlocked?
[z3c: handover the key to the guard]
[z3c: Wait to get the "Ok" to pass - guard: unlock the door] -> correspond to: setting flag: accessible = unlock
pushing the door open,
hanging a fat note in the entrance hall telling "Door is open";
So: you did not miss understood what the toggle does, but the whole procedure.
And no: the toggle does not disable some software feature, it just removes the OEM specific key requirement by accessing the boot loader
*Note: I know, that was quite rough simplification, and to be absolute correct: the OEM unlock toggle in Dev. Setting does in fact not physically "unlock" the boot loader. It just removes the requirement for a key in the unlocking process. However, that correspond to an open boot loader, as all attempt to enter it, will not be denied.

I can't argue with you. I'm not even sure where we agree and disagree.
For the sake of other users, here's the clarification:
Under Developer settings, there is a setting called "OEM Unlocking - Allow the bootloader to be unlocked".
This setting does not unlock the bootloader, it just enables the possibility to unlock. That's why it's called "Allow the bootloader to be unlocked".
No DRM keys will be deleted by toggling this setting.
After setting "Allow the bootloader to be unlocked", you can unlock the bootloader using fastboot.
When doing so, the DRM keys will be deleted and the bootloader will be unlocked.
Until you issue the fastboot command, you can't flash any unsigned code - as usual.

I asked you to be more specific as unlocking a door does not mean opening it.
However - there is one important thing missing and quite profound error in your summary (beside the "unlock" wording stuff...).
Enabling the "OEM Unlocking" switch bears a high security risk. Unsigned software now can enter the TA.
In fact: you do not have to run the fastboot unlock by yourself. Any piracy software can now make irreparable damages to the phone!

You are saying that toggling the "OEM Unlocking" switch would make TA partition writeable (by any other user than root)?

No, I'm not saying this.
But the reason for the OEM Lock is to ensure, only OEM signed software is able to be installed.
Enabling "OEM Unlocking" removes this check.
This implies:
- Nice people can now provide software to be installed -> custom roms.
- Bad people can now also install software, but to their needs.
To keep it simple: Let some evil person post any rom called "official Sony z5c Android 6.0".
Let this bad person make the appearance of this rom as any official Sony Update.
Users with the OEM lock in place will not be able to install it, as the OEM key from Sony is missing.
Users with the OEM lock removed will install it w/o any burden.
Do not forget:
Original OEM Software still is signed as original software.
To install the original software, you do not have to toggle the "OEM unlock" in the Developers Settings, as this ROM carries the original OEM key.
to install original software, you do not have to fastboot oem unlock
Removing the OEM-key check with the "OEM unlock" switch, makes the OEM-key obsolete. Hence bears a security risk.

You either learn this in school, or should find it s.w. in the Android docs.
And instead of flaming you should start reading and learn IT.
So be brave and toggle the switch, which by your interpretation has no meaning.
The rest of the user i can only advice to keep it locked and only enable in order to flash customs Roms.

So, if I get you right, I just need a customized firmware (e. g. a pre-rooted one), toggle that "OEM unlock" switch and install it via recovery mode? And that without loosing DRM keys? If it is so easy rooting is no problem, isn't it?

No, "OEM Unlock" is just a option to allow OEM unlock, so you have to unlock bootloader after enabling it (and you'll loose DRM key)
Hello XDA, I've been wanting to root my S6 for a while now, and i think you can do it with adb. So when trying this i noticed i needed an unlocked bootloader, and i thought i had it because i had CRom service on my S6, but never opened it. When i did, it just crashed. Now, i'm not sure if I can just use
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
or i need something else. I'm on Mac so i am very, very limited. I at least can get adb to work. If i can use adb and or fastboot to unlock my device's bootloader (without messing DM Verity) then please tell me right away.

What variant s6 do you have?
Go to Settings - About Device - Build number. Tap on that repeatedly until you see that Developer Options has been enabled.
Go back to Settings. You will now see a new entry called Developer options. Tap on that.
Under Developer options you will see OEM Unlock. Switch that to On.
And you are done! Just that easy!

It's not that easy, the option is called "Allow OEM unlocking" which I already have turned on. All that option does is allow the bootloader to be unlocked.

Ok, I'm on 6.0.1 (Y is Samsung so slow when releasing updates) and a quick reminder: I'm on Mac, how am I supposed to flash CF-autoroot?
And I got confused by "make sure after rootingthe phone does not trip frp and just lock out of your device" Do you mean to be careful not to brick my device?

FRP is factory reset protection, if you don't allow OEM unlock when after you have carried out root and try to log into phone again you won't be able to do so, it's a security feature, frp is very tricky and it's important you make sure you have OEM unlock enabled before trying to do anything. You can use a software called heimdall which is similar to Odin and can be downloaded for mac. Yeah samsung always rolls out updates for international before anything else, just how they work. Before doing anything I highly advise you to visit the g920t forums, you will get more info there than you will here on the international forum. I hope you manage to get things done

Thanks for pointing that out. I don't know why I expect people to be grateful on XDA, just because someone tries to help them.
Using a Mac, you flash files using Heimdall: http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/
Ok so I think I'm good to go:
I attached some screenshots checking if everything is correct. Also, is http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/ the correct and official site to get Heimdall? And my device's build is G920TUES5DQD1 which was released a few days ago, and I'm not sure if the CF auto root file was based on an earlier update. Will I still be able to use it?
is g920v bootloader unlockable?
is it possible to downgrade thanks to this oem unlock?

As far as I know, and what has been the fact since the release of the 920V, there's has been no known case where the bootloader has been unlocked. Due to Verizon's restrictions, the S6 is hardlocked. The only way that it might ever be unlocked is if someone reverse engineers the bootloader software, creating an unlocked version that can be flashed, and that will still pass the phone's security checks. I wouldn't hold your breath for it though, because it's been 3 years and no solution yet.
i had same issues
i have been trying to unlock my s6 smg 9208 everything that i tried failed need really your help i can't use my keyboard and mouse ????
Most Samsung phones are unlocked, Only a small percentage of Samsung phones has locked bootloaders. Just pop a different carrier SIM and make sure it works, If different sims work then your device has an unlocked bootloader.

That is incorrect, what you are referring to is carrier locked. and is done to most phones sold in the US. Most can be unlocked once fully paid for and after 90 days of service.
Bootloader lock has nothing to do with sim cards at ALL!! It does have everything to do with being able to install other roms and firmware via non official sources.

I have the same phone that I just bought and (sheepishly) just found out has wi-fi calling disabled by AT&T. That was a main reason for getting it, but unfortunately I went by the Sonim website's info and not AT&T's regarding that feature. Verizon's version has it enabled, but it's also much scarcer on the secondary market. The XP5800 doesn't seem to be a popular phone for tinkering judging by the lack of info on doing so.
Does anyone know if wi-fi calling could hypothetically be activated by rooting and then toggling some values, or is it more likely that the involved code was omitted entirely? I saw something to the former about tethering.

Each Android can get rooted by means of SuperSU ZIP. Only requirement is to have successfully USB debugging option enabled in Android->Settings->Developer options. You install this ZIP via phone's stock recovery.
To access developer mode, google "developer mode sonim xp5s". Open article: kb.eschat.com "Open Developer Options Tab on Sonim XP5, XP5s or XP3...". The device will then open the Developer Options tab. Ensure the take bug report option is enabled, and that USB debugging is also enabled. You may also add a menu button to the Power tab for future access to this feature.
Be sure you use a clean SuperSU ZIP to avoid malware. Suggest getting one from the xda forum.

How i can do it? Stock recovery have no menu. /cache access denided from user. Putting update.zip do nothing without /cache/recovery/command. Did you know some trick to proceed install? ADB debugging enable, but no root rights there.

Hello Everyone,
Greetings..!!
I am a Reno 10x mobile user from India. I have recently unlocked the boot-loader in my settings. I never proceeded with any procedures of rooting, further. However, I can not use any secured applications like banking and govt related apps with an error that "My Device is Rooted".
I am atleast hopeful that Magisk Manager can help me with usage of those apps. I am looking for ways to install the Magisk on my mobile. Can anyone please help me a simple/best procedure for fixing my problem. I also believe that this Magisk can help me with some modules for google camera mods.
My current version of android is 10 with Build CPH1919EX_11_C.29

Hello Everyone,
Greetings..!!
I am a Reno 10x mobile user from India. I have recently unlocked the boot-loader in my settings. I never proceeded with any procedures of rooting, further. However, I can not use any secured applications like banking and govt related apps with an error that "My Device is Rooted".
I am atleast hopeful that Magisk Manager can help me with usage of those apps. I am looking for ways to install the Magisk on my mobile. Can anyone please help me a simple/best procedure for fixing my problem. I also believe that this Magisk can help me with some modules for google camera mods.
My current version of android is 10 with Build CPH1919EX_11_C.29
Thank you.

There is an OEM boot loader unlock button in USB developer settings. Please use this option carefully, as you can not lock the boot loader again using this option.
@sathis531
If we could unlock bootloader then here you would see a few custom roms but instead, we must use ****ty oppo ota ;(
Example.

No
This not correct.
The OEM unlock does NOT unlock the bootloader.
Unlocking the bootloader requires certain ADB specific commands or 3rd party PC software.

That is not how you unlock your bootloader
Hello everyone,
I want to by a Sony Xperia 1 III which is MDM locked.
My question, is there anyway to bypass the MDM lock on this device?
For example by unlocking the bootloader and flashing a costum ROM or a stock one?
I read somewhere that on MDM locked phones there is no possibillity to turn on tbe usb debuging and bootloader unlocking functions.
Is it a eay to managed it by command prompt via PC?
So the main question is there anyway to bypass somehow?
Thanks for the answers
