[Q] Question about bootloader.

Hi. I have a Rogers Branded Sim-Locked Xperia Arc with Gingerbread 2.3.3, and my goal for this phone is to get Cyanogen Mod 7 Beta 11 on it.
I read that in order to flash the custom rom I need an unlocked bootloader. I also read in order to unlock my phones bootloader I need to be able to enter fastboot mode. Unfortunalty I cannot enter fastboot mode since I got my xperia arc directly from my Carrier Rogers. My question is if I purchase an unlock code from one of the various websites out there, and then unlock my phone would I be able to enter fastboot and eventually unlock my bootloader and then flash cyanogen mode 7? Thanks in advance

No.
As things stand, there's nothing you can do to get your handset into FastBoot mode - only factory-unlocked handsets are capable of doing so.

Thanks but im still kind of confused. What about this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037874
And so with any custom rom coming out i will need an unlocked bootloader?

That's a thread discussing the possibility of trying to enable Fastboot on handsets that don't currently support it.
But to the best of my knowledge, no significant progress has been made.

So, has any progress been made? Am I able to unlock my bootloader now and get cyanagen mod? Or do I still need a factory unlocked handset cause of the fastboot thing

Have a read of the general and development sections. ;-)

i read it but im still a little bit confused, to my knowledge the only way of unlocking my phone to put cynagen mod is to pay someone to remotely unlock my phone?

Unless you have access to SETool, yes.

ZE551KL-Z00TD: Unfortunately, Unlock Device Tool has stopped working.

For the past 5 hours I've been scrawling through forum posts and google search results trying to simply find a way to root my device. I use my phone for PC repair A LOT and not having DriveDroid is a massive hinderance.
I finally found that I need to unlock my boot loader before I can root. So I did exactly what the forum post said.
1. Download Unlock tool (ZE551KL)
2. Enable Unknown APKs
3. Move tool to phone
4. Install and run
5. Go through all checkboxes and agree and continue.
Then the app gives me the error message in the title.
"Unfortunately, Device Unlock Tool has stopped working."
Device information:
Model number
ASUS_Z00TD
Android version
6.0.1
Android security patch level
June 1, 2016
Build number
WW_user_21.40.1220.1708
I guess my question is just that. Is there any way to unlock and root this phone? Currently, it's been factory reset and is unlock SIM-wise, but that's it.
TIA.

I just realized that update 1708 wasn't available for the ZE551KL but was for the ZE550KL. The person I bought the phone off somehow got 1708 on the ZE551KL?

You can't unlock 6.0 at this point downgrade and unlock

Does anyone know which framework supports the unlock device tool?

From here, it says that CM nightly builds need MM firmware. Meaning downgrading isn't an option. What do we do about that? thanks :good:

[CLOSED]Force Unlocking Bootloader on Nokia 6.1
Hey, I have been searching for an answer to this for quite a while, and I've found some information. Before you start bashing me in the comments, I do know that Nokia has disabled unlocking bootloaders on certain devices. My question is, is there...

Download official Nokia USB Drivers (ADB, Fastboot & others)
HMD Global is making Nokia branded phones for a few years now. However, there is still no official webpage at Nokia.com from where you can download device drivers. On most Nokia phones, the Nokia USB drivers come bundled. A CD ROM will show on the computer when you connect the phone. The Nokia...

So they only give away a few free unlocks per day. If I remember correctly they're based East Coast US time, so I made sure I was online around midnight EST, and got a free unlock. I had to try quite a few times, and it didn't work until a while AFTER midnight, (maybe around 10 to 15 mins after).

Hi,
I too own a Nokia 6.1 (TA-1089) model and have successfully rooted it.
Here are the steps I followed:
Download and install "adb and fastboot" tool on your system
Follow this Boot loader unlock guide by Techmesto and ensure your boot loader gets unlocked properly.
Many guides recommend using TWRP, but I say use "Magisk" (basis my personal experience)
Download the latest version of Magisk from this another guide by Techmesto and follow the steps listed under "Root method #1."
Few Special Pointers:
If in case you're unable to find any relevant "Magisk patched boot images" for your device, you can opt for "Root method #2" listed in the above guide.
I would highly recommend that you "DO NOT USE" TWRP V.3.3.1 as suggested in the guide. I used that version and bricked my device. So, Google for "twrp-3.4.0-0-PL2_sprout-11.0-20200909.img" file and use it as that worked for me.
Ensure that you're BOOTING into TWRP using the command:
Code:
fastboot boot <twrp.img>
as flashing the TWRP got me stuck on its splash screen for eternity.
The first time you boot into TWRP, it might ask you for a password to decrypt data. Use your phone password" (Example - 0000 in my case) and the decryption will start automatically.
Feel free to reach out in case any pointer confuses you OR you're stuck anywhere.
Cheers,
Manu
