hello, good morning, this is my first topic, I do not know if I'm posting in the correct location, if not, please correct me.
I bought a moto z2 play and a camera error resulted in a big problem, first asked to restart and so I did, the second time came the problem, it just does not stay more than 3 seconds on the welcome screen, I already tried hard reset , I already installed another stock, already tried to start in safe mode and nothing, unlocking oem and debugging usb are disabled, I contacted the motorola to ask the unlock code oem for the code obtained by fastboot and they told me that it would not be possible give me such a code, and now, is there anything I can do?
This doesn't seem to be a modding problem, looks more like hardware... so I'd strongly reccomend you NOT to void your warranty by unlocking bootloader. Send it to an official repair center and hope they either fix or replace the phone...

Hey I forgot my nokia 5200 security code although my phone is not locked but I still need the code to reset my phone.Do anybody have a solutoin for my problem it would be helpful. Thankyou.
I know it's been a long time, but i was researching some info to unlock this old phone.
I thought that flashing stock firmware would unlock it, just like some "now a days" devices.
But it didn't unfortunately.
However, flashing it worked to restore lock code, so if you still want to revive it just flash it using "phoenix 2012", you can get the firm using "navifirm" indeed.
You could also try before flashing, read the phone code using "infinity box BEST", but you should manage to establish USB connection first, normal mode or flash mode, i don't know if this second method would work though.
Try and see what happens.
Hi everyone
I wanted to try going from the stock Android 4.3 to cm12.1.
My phone was bootloader locked but unlocking was allowed.
So I followed the process on the sony website and got the unlock code and entered it.
Phone then refused to restart, stuck on booting screen.
Eventually using Flashtool, I found a stock rom and reflashed that, still wouldn't boot. Then I relocked the bootloader and now it boots again.
However, it now says sim card is invalid and refuses to let me join the phone network (I'm in Malta, using the Go network).
Also, I'm now unable to reunlock the bootloader as it says failed when I try doing so using fastboot and says it cannot be officially unlocked when using flashtool. Worryingly for me, in settings it now says "no" for unlock allowed (it used to say "Yes").
So now, I've got a phone that otherwise works normally again except that it doesn't actually work as a mobile phone! Please help me someone as Sony have already refused to do anything to help, their customer (dis)service people simply point out that once you unlock the bootloader - even if that itself causes the problem - they will no longer help you. Cheers, thanks Sony, no way will I ever buy any product from you ever again!
What a crap day...

i think you have missing something after unlock bootloader, and you can't give any wrong or false to sony. because you're do this with your vault and you're is vault your warranty. and sony have give you a warn sign before do this, and you accepted because you do it.
so no any vendor problem if you fail or your device is bricked.
after unlock bootloader, you need to reflash your stock rom again and do a full wipe data and cache from flashtool before flash any rom. after wipe and flash you can check your device is boot up perfectly without any problem. you only missed that. try to reunlock if still can, but try to unlock your bootloader using flashtool too.

Well on Sony's site it also says that any repair will be chargeable once you do unlock, so I would have expected them to have done something at a charge not to totally refuse to help at all. I accept what you say but I DID follow the instructions exactly, I unlocked the bootloader and rebooted it as instructed and from there it went wrong - refused to boot.
Anyway, I have tried several stock roms including even using the Sony tools and letting it do a "repair" reflash, all to no avail. "Sim Invalid" is what I'm left with and what I have noticed when flashing every stock rom with flashtool, what is missing from the "Wipe" list is cache, the only option there is "USERDATA". Is there something wrong with the flashtool perhaps?
Even when I relock the bootloader using flashtool (which I seem to need to do every time even after flashing a stock rom) it still seems to regard the phone as unlocked, or at least when you go the "BLU" screen it shows only the option to relock each time. Something has definitely screwed up here.
I got a UK stock rom via Xperifirm and used Flashtool to create the TFT from that. Still no joy. I'm assuming something is wrong with the sim lock, somehow, but how to fix this? I'm realising that reflashing stock roms doesn't totally return the phone to factory condition, so what am I missing here please? Is the phone totally stuffed now or is there still some way to repair it?
Ok so further to this, I just gone into service menu -> Sim lock and I see this:
[x] Network 0
[x] Network subset 0
[x] Service provider 0
[x] Corporate 0
[x] SIM 0
So is the phone locked or not? What does the x mean? The phone was previously fully sim unlocked as I bought it without a contract from Amazon. Is there a way to fix this please?
help me please
i have xperia m, after unlocking bootloader it stuck on bootlooping, i have not enable usb debugging...any way to fix it?
Hi there guys! I've got Xperia Z5 Premium (as far as my PC recognize it as such).
It is probbably with locked bootloader, cuz in fastboot it gives me error : <remote:failed command not allowed>
BUT i do not have access to the menu. I found the phone in one mountain near a hut, so far i decidet to try flashing it, but it seems bootloader is locked. Phone is locked also with pin code.
The usual methods i found need IMEI, which i do not have. If i open it, is tehre IMEI number ?
Is there any way to flash it or get the IMEI?
PLS guys, don't bother ****talking about stolen device or such... If anyone recognize it, come and get it.
SOLUTION that worked for me : https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-premium/general/how-to-tottaly-unlock-xperia-z5-premium-t3585640
if you have find that device in a hut. its probably better to return to authorities! the owner might have valuable data in it! atleast try tracking down the owner!
however you can still flash the device via FLASHTOOL using flashmode / original STOCKROM only and you can keep the data also alive by just excluding wipes in the flash firmware area.
once booted try to find the owner info and return the device!

Hi. I work in that hut, it is in ski resort, so you can imagine how many people are going thru there. 2 months, phone was ON and connected to WiFi. No sign that someone is looking for it.
There is no owner info on the lock screen, so.... And where i live, authorities are worst than thiefs, so, that is not an option. As there is no IMEI or other info on the phone itself, i think it is unable to find the owner! Also it is foreign sim card in it, but noone calls or text.
EDIT: I've used both flashtool and fastboot, but no success. In flashtool it says "Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked" , in fastboot > Failed(remote:command not allowed)
So, is this a one nice BRICK with clock on it ?!
Isn't there any way to force flash or unlock screen or bootloader ?!

you cannot just simply unlock the bootloader like that. you have to request SONY to send you unique keys and these used as password in order to unlock you bootloader! ( i.e. if the device is NOT SIMLOCKED from the origin country)
-- unlocking bootloader means LOOSING your DRMKEY/TA BACKUPS ,
please make your self aware of all the circumstances!
I have key to unlock bootloader from SONY. May be option in phone menu is restricted so this stop apps from flashing :/
I know about all circumstances.
So far i've flashed OEM rom, but now it ask for google account that was previously used on that phone, which is annoyng. Sony is copying apple or what ? Wtf happen with our android devices

it will remain mystery to me that how did you manage to have imei number of the device while phone was locked---- anyways
while device is open , goto dialer and dial *#*#7378423#*# then goto service info >>> Configuration and check "BOOTLOADER UNLOCK ALLOWED:" if it says NO then sorry, this device cannot be BOOT UNLOCKED. better to return it!
the previous google account prompt is because the old user data is intact. perform CLEAN FLASH , wipe EVERYTHING. (just tick the boxes as shown in the image (FLASHTOOL FLASHMODE , FIRMWARE SELECTED)
and a Big NO to sony copying Apple. and nothing happend to android devices! you can have easy go devices like huawei/lenovo/alcatel/(even samsung) etc. their stockrom can easily be xploited and kingroot supports various of devices under those brands. however Kingroot removed SONY from their website after Android 5.1 since they could not bypass SonyRIC from Android 6
I've got imei thru Flashtool, Emma, there it showed me Imei number.
This option with the code in dialer may be usefull with older android version, now it is unable to use it thru emergency call, since i do not have access to dialer itself.
I performed clean OEM flash thru Flashtool, wipe everything, but account lock is still there.
I do not know where to return it! It is foreign phone. I wait 2 months for someone to call or look for it. I work in ski resort and almost every day someone found lost phone. If i return it to police, they ouldn' do anything about it. Will sell it for 20euro probbably. I have friend in police department so i know what is going in there.

the startup screen first time always ask many questions about you in order to personalize your device. you can skip many of them including google account
but i am talking about fresh start. any other old user data will always ask you credentials
Hello there,
I've searched through all the googles and i can't seem to be able to unlock my mi 5S
Bought a half dead phone, glitchy screen and bad battery. Purchased new parts and had them installed.
Phone came with unlocked BL and lineage OS, but i f-ed it up by flashing a miui rom that locked the BL.
Then I found out the phone was actually bound to an existing MI account, so I cannot unlock it with the official tool.
Phone is in edl mode, i tried searching for an unlocked emmc_appsboot.mbn but no luck.
Can anyone please advise how to unofficialy unlock the bootloader?
I'm about to sell it for parts as I've been trying to fix it for the past week ... :crying:
Not sure if there is a way, because that way could also be used for a stolen device...
My suggestion is that you contact your seller and ask him for his Xiaomi account or that he deletes the phone from his account.
Weird thing though, the phone does not get locked if you just flash an official ROM. You specifically have to choose "flash + lock" in the official flashing application to have it locked again.

I've been emailing with xiaomi support, gave them all the details. Maybe I can convince them to remove the account.
Before flashing i was checking online on how to do it with miflash tool but i missed the radio buttons and default was clean and lock ..
After a few documents submitted through [email protected] they have removed the unknown mi account.
To conclude, I have not found any way of unlocking the bootloader except for the official way.
Also, be careful when flashing with miflash, don't lock your phone by mistake.
Ah great that it worked!
I've been getting this trying to unlock the bootloader on the Motorola Bootloader Unlock page. Whilst on fastboot (got <waiting for device> but updated drivers, they that's where things got tricky) a barcode appeared. I didn't really bother scanning it but I was scared AF. Upon another thread, another user said it's their IMEI number. I still can't get past the barcode tho. I have also tried updating drivers, from Motorola Device, which then tried Kedacom USB Drivers (I don't know what is that) to Android Phone and ADB User Interface (both of which had Moto and Motorola related stuff). After all that, STILL got the barcode. Is there anyone who can help with this? Oh and if you got the same problem, then answer in the poll below.
I am also in the same situation of wanting to unlock the bootloader, but apparently there is no way, the SoC on the motherboard is protected and not only that apparently motorola has put some security schemes on the motherboard, apparently this occurs on all moto e6 play from xt2029-1 to xt2029-3 (but if i have any new discoveries i will inform)
