It says that it is unlocked though.

 

[silencar]

It says that it is unlocked though.

are u sure that it is unlocked? there are 3 kinds of status:

Bootloader unlock allowed: No - u can't unlock BL
Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes - u can unlock BL, BUT its not unlocked yet
Bootloader unlocked: Yes - BL is unlocked

This is what mine said before I unlocked the bootloader.
Then I unlocked it using the method in this tutorial.

 

[ianthok]

in me it's work, follow the step carefully

 

[ianthok]

this tutorial i made becouse i never done to root, i try the other tutorial and error
.
so i try with my own metode (this tutorial) and yoi xan see the TWRP in my mobile phone. it's work

 

[silencar]

ok, u've checked ur BL status before the procedure, but its more important whats the status after the unlock procedure - did u recheck it afterwards? Does it now show that it is unlocked?

 

[Primal09]

This is what I get when I check the status.
It did not have Rooting Status the last time if I remember correctly.

 

[silencar]

This is what I get when I check the status.

"unavailable" doesn't sound that good

and I have to correct myself - there are 4 kinds of Status:
...
4. UNAVAILABLE

sth went wrong with the unlocking .. for now u have to get the BL status to 'unlocked' (I dont know how)
when this is done, the rooting procedure has to be redone and should work then.

--- Update: ---

what I have found, somebody with the same problem in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/guide-t3130092/post63328460

Hi XDA...

Another note, remember to remove the 0x on the bootloader code when creating ulcode file, I proceeded with it in place and it gave me "Rooting Status: Unavailable"
It has been pointed out on this thread how to recover, but if someone runs into this problem: you have plug in the phone again in flash mode (vol down then plug in), click BLU, when relock wizard appears, go back to ulcode file and edit the 0x out, then relock, then unlock again (hope this helps someone new to xperia world like me )

It may help u .. or u will find the solution in the mentioned thread

so there is still hope for u
