[Q] Bootloader allow unlock:NO

tniblo@hotmail.com · Jul 20, 2014

Hi Ladies & Mentalmen

I have just bought my Sony Xperia Z2 from O2 and the issue I have is that the bootloader in the hidden menu is set to Bootloader allow unlock:NO. I had my network unlocked by O2 to accept all sims and was successful, so can anyone please help me to have it to Bootloader allow unlock:YES?

I have tried flashtool & sony official website but cannot proceed due to this situation...I tried contacting sony UK and they mentioned that I should report back to O2 and when I see O2 they refer me back to Sony

So any help would be highly appreciated

Simply put: you can't change that. You're bootloader is locked. I'm on Vodafone UK and mine is the same.

I would like to try flash a loader.sin from an FTF from a known unlocked bootloader, though it might be pointless.

I do hope someone manages to unlock the bootloader for the unlockable bootloaders.

Flashing the loader.sin only works sometimes

I dont recomend trying unless you want to risk bricking your device

Okay so I'm in the same situation - is there any way to get the bootloader unlocked by Sony or by O2 (bought the phone used)

I don't know how it is on z2 and my xperia, but on some sony devices if you have my xperia activated you can't unlock bootloader
