Unlock Bootloader: FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

[Ferramont103]

Hi

I followed the guide here: http://goo.gl/b7NTn9

My problem is, I keep getting the error FAILED (remote: Command not allowed) as soon as I press "unlock" after I pasted the unlock code.

Can anyone perhaps help , please? I'm at my wits end on this one.

Thank you for reading!

Have you checked to see if unlock is allowed? And if it says it can be unlocked, did you put the right imei for unlock. I found that the unlock code for the Xperia M worked fine

hy

exactly the same problem is occuring to me !
i tried to unlock the bootloader with different options for example the new and the old version of flashtool but it´s not working.
the rooting status is: Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes
i also noticed that when you put in your imei code on the sony developer page you have to put in 15 digits to get the ul-code but the flashtool just shows 14 digits of the imei code when you have to enter it.

i have the e2303 8Gb
build number 26.1.A.2.167
Android 5.0

Thank you !

Thanks for replying! Yeah, I did all that, I tried the M and M2 unlock code, unlock is allowed, it just isn't doing anything though

Make sure you use the imei from the phone and not the unlock tool. It's purposely wrong to protect your imei if you share a picture of the unlock tool. Just keep trying

Unlocking the bootloader in M4 Aqua

Was stuck with the same problem. M4, says its bootloader can be unlocked.

The solution is to enable OEM unlocking in the developer options. Also, in some cases, it helps to perform a factory reset before unlocking.
Good luck!

I had the same problem with " FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)", even though my device was stated as unlockable. It turned out all I needed to do was turn on "Allow OEM unlocking" in Developer options, on the phone. Then after power off again, fastboot eom unlock worked.

This thread is dead, but I'll post anyways. I am using xperia xz1c. Bootloader unlock is allowed. OEM unlocking is allowed. Device is being detected on fastboot devices command. On fastboot, the output I am getting is "FAILED (remote: command did not succeed)". I have tried latest platform tools 28.0.1, older platform tools 25.0.5 and 26.0.0 with no success. Thanks for reading.
