well open chevron again, if it says "unlock" your phone is locked, on the otherhand if it says "relock" it was unlocked!
or the even easier way ..if it shows relock after you hit unlock...you succeeded...

I bought my HOX off Craigslist, already unlocked. So, I do not have the unlock.bin code and I need it in order to upgrade by Hboot. Any ideas on how to get it? Could I just go on HTC.dev and go through the unlock process again even though I'm already unlocked, just to get the code?

EDIT: mine is unlocked, was still able to get unlock_code.bin

Follow up question: Do I need to be able to open the .bin file he sent me? When I try to open it, my computer says it can't open that type of file. Or, can I just leave it as is?
It's not meant for you to read it, at all!
You will be able to use it through fastboot when you want to unlock your bootloader (providing that you did relock it beforehand)!
Hi there,
I have a network unlocked Z1C which came from o2. The bootloader unlock allowed status is No but the phone is rooted. Is there anything I can do to this to unlock it? I feel like trying CM on it
Thanks!
I have searched for answers to this but no joy...

If your bootloader unlock allowed status is no then you will most likely never be able to unlock that phones bootloader. I think your best bet is to contact O2 and tell them you want a phone on which the bootloader is unlockable, perhaps they can give you a special key to unlock the functionality, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Oh and don't try CM on it, it'll just bootloop and you'll have to use SUS or PC Companion to restore a working OS.
...actually there is one hope, but it requires dismantling the phone. There is a test-point behind the battery which might enable you to put the device into a mode where it'll accept a command allowing bootloader unlock. But again, high risk, not sure if it's actually possible, easier to just sell the phone and buy an unlockable one if you want to run CM. Maybe you could even return the device, how long have you had it?
my z1c just turned up and ive got an bootloader unlock allowed :victory::victory::victory:
I have locked bootloader on EE in UK and have found that many of the tweaks I wanted can be achieved with Xposed modules. Give it a try but backup before you start.
Need a opinion by a dev
Hello there,
I was thinking about a test.
My problem is "Unlock bootloader allowed : no".
What could happen if i restore an other TA partition with "Unlock bootloader allowed : yes". I erase the old by a new one which unlockable. All i need is a TA partition build with a z1c which unlockable and the unlock code.
What do you think ?
Soory for my bad english
If you replace your ta partition it will most likely hardbrick your device.
What is a ta partition, i don't understand.
A bootloader is like a bios on motherboard.
But it is locked by a code.
The bootloader is the same on each z1c no ?

Flashing another phone's TA will hard brick yours, every TA is related to the phone which comes from

How you done this??? I tried hundred and half methods and still CAN'T unlock damn bootloader............
I just purchased one LT28AT(Sony Ion) from ebay and the seller unlocked it from AT&T for me. Now I am a T-mobile user. Since this phone is still running ICS, I have been trying to install CM11 on it but no luck. I was told that I need to root the phone first and then you are able to install a CM11 rom. I searched all threads here and googled related report. It seems no way to unlock this phone. However, I did see some people installed CM11 on their LT28AT and they also uploaded the videos on Youtube.
Any suggestion or feedback would be appreciated.

Even though Your phone is sim unlocked, You need to check if the bootloader is unlock able, then only You can install cm11. Google how to check if bootloader is unlock able.

Thanks for your reply. I just checked the configuration and the "Bootloader unlock allowed" shows NO. Does that mean this phone can not be unlocked?

Hi guys. I want to remove this warning message when i boot up my phone. Can anyone help me? Thanks!
being able to do this would be great! I tried all the fastboot commands that work on different devices to re-lock the bootloader, flashed the bootloaders again...downgrade to Android 5, uncheck enable EOM unlock in the developer options..tried fastboot commands.. all was in vain...
Any other ideas?

I don't want to relock my bootloader. My goal is just removing this message. Because if the bootloop issue happen to me, sellers will not know that i've unlocked my bootloader. So they will repair my phone for free.
please can any mod close this? Has already been asked and answered. it's not possible! Do a damn search before!
there is not mention of this as far as I sow it anyways...
If you have it then post the link here so we can see it also .
PS: under the same logic we would not try to find a root or bootloader unlock and talk about it because its not currently possible.

If your in the EU and phone is still under warranty, LG will repair defected devices regardless if BL is unlocked as its a known defect. Read this thread.

I read about a guy saying something like changing the I-M-E-I (dont want to get banned or something) to something else, reboot and then restore it, you should have a relocked bootloader..
it sounds a bit shady but maybe this can actually work...depending on how this unlock is done.

This guy actually relocked the bootloader nice
I do not want to relock my bootloader, but I want to get rid of the nag screen at boot that bootloader is unlocked. Just in case my phone will get into wrong hands that is like an open invitation to hack it.
I remember I used to replace this logo with a neutral black screen on one of my previous devices. Isn't that possible anymore nowdays?
Yes, I understand that is not a perfect security. A perfect security is if my phone will be kept in a safe in a swiss bank with keys lost. Just trying not to give obvious hints.
EDIT:
LOL sorry I don't know how but I missed first 8 words in Your post. Don't read my reply it won't help.
Hi.
I was converting from Tmobile to global. To get rid from that messege I simply locked the bootloader. I'm not sure if u want to lock it or you are looking for some kind of way around it. If you would like to do it remember its very important to do it after taking OTA otherwise you can have some problems with your phone. That was mine steps:
Unlock bootloader.
Flash global.
Do OTA.
Lock bootloader with "fastboot oem lock".
Hope it helps. Regards.
