Unlocking bootloader tablet Z (Guide)
- Thread starter Sieth
- Start date
Wow, that's a long guide. Is the main/only reason to unlock the bootloader to install custom roms (can't this be done with just root access?).
I have root, but don't really wish to install custom roms. I don't have the bootloader unlocked, but I know it can be unlocked
why to unlock bootloader?
why to unlock bootloader?
1. u can flash custom ROMs/Kernels
2. u dont need to worry if the new firmware can be rooted or not as with unlocked bootloader u can always ROOT ur device
3. Sony gives sneak-peaks/preview builds of latest OS which requires unlocked bootloaders, as they did with Xperia 2011/2012 line, so who knows may be Sony may give early builds of next android OS

I think it would be wise to mention not to forget to backup TA partition with DRM keys before bootloader unlock.
Thank you very much. This tutorial covered all the issues I ran into so I knew what to do.
Btw, the .bat for allowing unsigned drivers doesn't work on Windows 8. A quick google search helped me but maybe you might want to add that to your tutorial for other, less techy users.
Wish I saw this post earlier. Oh well.

Thank you so much, you saved my bricked tablet!
I won't go into details but I really messed up and this saved me, I would hit that thanks button a million times if I could!
if your bootloader can't be unlocked it means that you can root your device, but won't be able to install any custom firmware. But you can install XZDR recovery.Hi all I have the lte tablet z. When I go to the service menu I can see it cant be unlocked. Dose that mean I cant root it to put a custom recoveryand custom Rom on it. Sorry to sound noob

Once you get the bootloader unlocked what is the root method? Also, is there a different process for flashing roms?
to root device you don't have to unlock bootloader. Unlocking is for installing custom ROMs.
That I understand. Thank you. I was asking since i already unlocked the bootloader and am unrooted. What is the process to gain root at this point?
flash or hotboot kernel (or flash recovery to FOTA partition) with recovery and flash SuperSU from it.

I don't say thank you for your copy, this is u steal my work u don't deserve nothing soon I will post my work from htcmania here
Don't suppose anyone can help please. I am trying to unlock my bootloader. I have successfully connected to my computer by fastboot and everything is recognised and looks to be fine right up until I put the unlock command in and I get this error.
c:\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot devices
CB5A1WYECJ fastboot
c:\sdk\platform-tools>>fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xFBCD6A2B26CB8F88
'-i' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
c:\sdk\platform-tools>
its now starting to drive me crazy. Thanks very much in advance

Use Flashtool. It can automatically unlock bootloader. Only unlock code 0xFBCD6A2B26CB8F88 is needed.
Cant figure out which file to replace and where it is. Can get my tab to recognize in adb devices mode but nothing is coming up when i type fastboot devices in adb. It is not recognized. I am stuck. Any help will be appreciated. I have got unlock code and the usb inf file but no light further.
