You will never be able to unlock the bootloader on that phone, unless your carrier can give you some kind of code to change your unlock status (not sure this is even possible).

I can get the unlock code not a problem to unlock phone to any network. am already waiting for that from o2 so can use on any network but will this work or is it a septate code that is used for bootloader or somthing

The BL is different, if it came from O2 then chances are you cant unlock the BL.
So there is no chance? It worked with xperia arc and omnius. Costs about 15$, that would be ok. But will it work with our z1c in the near future? Or is it just "luck" to find an exploit?

Well nothing is impossible, but it isn't likely as it requires a bootloader exploit. Realistically it isn't going to happen though, unless some smart people devote a lot of time to it. The most likely scenario (using test point to gain more software access) would require hardware tampering.
Hello Mentalghost,
Unfortunately there is no way to unlock the bootloader when the status is "No".
Have a great day, cheers!

MentalGhost, where did you purchase your phone? This phone isn't sold by any carriers in the USA, to the best of my knowledge, so the bootloader shouldn't be locked.

Bought in UK where I am not in USA. Might take back to shop where bought from and see if got any others in lol
Or wait for locked bootloader versions or someone makes modded version with unlocked rom that is been modded like one where you install modded that is unlocked install and then can unlock bootloader did in xperia s I use to have was a modded rom that was originally saying bootloader unlock no and added new Base rom and then said bootloadr unlock yes maybe this will happen on this phone in time or locked bootloader kernels and rom come along

I'd recommend to anyone that is still able to return a Phone to do so because I think you'll find you'll be waiting a long time for a solution.

Plus, there will be no solution. The reason why Xperia Arc S and other 2011 Xperias worked with testpoint method was because of that there was a big security flaw in the security of the testpoints nand access, but those flaws have been fixed in newer Xperias and newer 2011 Xperias also.

+1 It was coming to that realization that I sold my O2 locked Z after 6 months to buy an unbranded Z1 Compact. It worked out cheaper too spending hundreds of pounds up front for my Phone with the added bonus of having access to all of it.
What happens if you still follow the instructions on how to do it? I didn't check if it was allowed and I'm stuck in bootloop and I can't flash via flashtool,

If you unlock the bootloader it still shows tampered at the top. Unless we get S-OFF, there is no way to get rid of the tampered message.

Hey guys,
I bought a G925T and gonna have to use it in Brazil (with a brazilian sim card carrier).
Do you know how can I unlock the phone?
I'm reading here in XDA that is not possible to unlock the T-Mobile S6 Edge.
Anybody knows somenthing about that?
thank you!
To unlock the t-mobile phone you have to call the t-mobile costumer service and request them to add your imei to their white list. Then you have to go to the unlock app and push permanent unlock. You have to be connected to internet using the t-mobile network to make the unlock work.
Can be unlocked by usb cable now also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxOuHIUWAFk

yes can be done for 5.1.1 ,by imei only ,basically the method is and unlock on tmobile server,so it will work to unlock using the tmobile unlock app. This service can be considered maybe a bit more official as that presented in the video above,even if the results are the same,only problem is a bit more expensive

Hey bro just wanted to say that please be careful. If the customer updates to version 5.1.1, the phone will not boot beyond the Samsung Logo, this happens only IF you're still tampering with the EFS. There are a few methods on how to unlock them now without affecting the phone....just wanted to inform you if you were still doing it via efs...

Hmm, I think I know who unlocked your phone in that case. Well the only way will be to update OTA, to do that your phone must be on STOCK firmware, no root. To do that flash over the firmware (system partition), when you do you can update OTA. PLEASE BE CAREFUL. You need to ask the person who unlocked your phone for your EFS Backup, this is important in case things go wrong.

Oh ok, if it's through z3x then you're fine. They don't tamper with EFS. Though I would still HIGHLY RECOMMEND to ask for your efs backup, trust me on this. I'm new to this forum, but I am a little familiarized with phones
so on 5.1.1 how can we unlock and do imei repair?

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.

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 attempted to unlocked my bootloader and it failed. I downloaded the app from the ASUS website and still didn't work.

Any chance in unlocking?

0094 0173 is unlocked bootloader in 5 LP
http://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-59699-1-1.html this one here
This one same as yours ?
Hi, yes I ticked the boxes, both of them. I've attached a s screenshot of my software.
Is it possible the boot loader is already unlocked? I bought this phone used. I know that when you unlock boot loader the intro screen is white, but that could easily be flashed back to black. So is there a way to check? I doubt it but you never know.

Hey , just noticed your serial number being 0 to F , maybe related ...it looks like it's been flashed but incorrectly. Can you boot to boot loader again , whilst connected to PC.
count to 10 , press vol + once , is your serial the same ?
If the same ,it will have to be flashed correctly.
I'm ready to go sleep now ...we sort this again
Ps, forget that all above if that was a shot attempting to unlock in boot loader which is normal to have 0 to F , but if its like that 0 to F when booting into boot loader normally , then it needs flashing , confusing I know ... I need sleep lol
Figured it out.... all because of this guy:

Turns out it was the stupid lockscreen that prevented it. I turned it off and just like not, did the exact same thing and unlocked.

I was having a hard time trying to unlock mine...
(used official APK from ASUS = https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/ )
I have discovered that if you use the command 'adb reboot bootloader'
the phone boot with that info below:
Code:
SERIAL NUMBER - 0123456789ABCDEF
SIGNING - ?
SECURE_BOOT - ?
If you boot holding the volume up when the first vibration occurs, then it will show the true serial number
but I have rooted and freezed many system apps, and I was having errors for unlocking the bootloader. Then I finally did it by simply making a backup, going to recovery, and clearing the data. After the phone booted, I downloaded the official app again, and then voila.
Just sharing my experience
