Do you think SONY will allow unlocking for Xperia 1 iii in the near future? I'm really on the fence deciding whether to get the mark iii or not.I set up a cronjob to watch api changes, so when xperia 1 III unlock is available I'll get a notification:
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail
IFS=$'\n\t'
x1iii=$(curl -s https://developer.sony.com/api/unlock-bootloader/devices | ag -o -Q 'Xperia-1-III')
if [[ ! -z "$x1iii" ]]; then
osascript -e 'display notification "Xperia 1 III bootloader prolly unlocked"'
fi
```
they've release the unlock process for all of the xperia phones (check https://developer.sony.com/develop/...d/unlock-bootloader/how-to-unlock-bootloader/), no reason not to do the same for xperia 1 III, I think we just have to wait for a few weeks.Do you think SONY will allow unlocking for Xperia 1 iii in the near future?

you can use the code of xperia1 or xperia 1 iithey've release the unlock process for all of the xperia phones (check https://developer.sony.com/develop/...d/unlock-bootloader/how-to-unlock-bootloader/), no reason not to do the same for xperia 1 III, I think we just have to wait for a few weeks.
It took something like 2 months for xperia 5 II to release its unlock code, after its initial release.
silly me, I tried this on the first day, but failed because I didn't enable "allow oem unlock".
That's great newssilly me, I tried this on the first day, but failed because I didn't enable "allow oem unlock".
I've confirmed xperia 1 III bootloader can be unlocked using xperia 1 II unlock code.
what variant of the device do you have? US, Asia? I want to be sure i buy the right device that will allow unlocking the bootlader...thanks!silly me, I tried this on the first day, but failed because I didn't enable "allow oem unlock".

Just remember buying the Non US model if your in the US you may miss out on some bands or 5G accesswhat variant of the device do you have? US, Asia? I want to be sure i buy the right device that will allow unlocking the bootlader...thanks!
thanks for the info! that is....unfortunate, but I am willing to forego 5G to have an unlocked bootloader. But are you saying that the only way to get this device with OEM unlock is to buy a non-US version?Just remember buying the Non US model if your in the US you may miss out on some bands or 5G access
its garbage, but i believe samsung operates the same way. i had picked up a US variant of the S21 Ultra, but when i learned that the US variant did not allow OEM unlock...i sent it back. not sure why companies do itWhy would be US version non-unlockable, while others are? We need someone to test when US model is released if 1 II code works on it
I'd imagine the US version would still use the same unlock process.its garbage, but i believe samsung operates the same way. i had picked up a US variant of the S21 Ultra, but when i learned that the US variant did not allow OEM unlock...i sent it back. not sure why companies do it
I hope so. btw, i am seeing different release dates for the device. 8/19 and 9/3. More frustration surrounding this device...hahaha.I'd imagine the US version would still use the same unlock process.
yup!I just checked NewEgg. Is the Taiwanese shop called Fashion Shop?
