I bought a Z3 T-Mobile D6616 with Unlocked Bootloader

[hunterwolves]

Hi,

I have a T-Mobile Xperia Z3 D6616, but I think it's a bit different from what I heared about T-Mobile D6616 devices, I don't live in the USA so I need your help to confirm my suspessions doubts :

1- I don't have the T-Mobile Logo on the back of the phone.
2- The bootloader is unlocked

Other than that, I have the same configuration, it's a 32GB and I verified everything else with Antutu.. I've flashed a T-Mobile firmwire again and it worked, I rooted it etc... no problems.

So what's the deal about my phone ? Why is it unlocked ( I've never heared of a Z3 D6616 with unlocked bootlaoder ) and why it doesn't have the T-Mobile Logo ?

Thanks in advance.

How was you able to get your bootloader unlocked

I actually have one too, though mine does have the T-Mobile logo. Some models you pick up online for D6616 will have an unlocked bootloader, I just broke mine and am trying to fix it(tip: Don't flash ZyxxOS on D6616).

I got mine off ebay, from a seller named traderphone followed by some numbers. It just came unlocked out of the box. They told me they buy them in bulk directly from a manufacturer, so I think what's going on is they're being built to that standard and not being locked at all, and just being sold wholesale. D6616 only comes in T-Mobile branding so I imagine it's just the hardware manufacturer selling them to people who aren't T-Mobile and not being asked to lock them.

Can you do *#*#7378423#*#* into the dialler > Service info > Configuration and post your "Bootloader unlock allowed" status? Screenshot will help or it didn't happen.

Can you do *#*#7378423#*#* into the dialler > Service info > Configuration and post your "Bootloader unlock allowed" status? Screenshot will help or it didn't happen.

Also, just adding some information, you can send a screen shot from this menu on the "Service Tests> Security" from the same menu? I'm curious about if it still have the DRM keys intact even if its bootloader is unlocked...
