I bought my ZL on Amazon.
This is a naked version not a version of an operator.

Every bootloader is locked. What matters is whether its 'unlockable' or not. Does the bootloader unlock allowed say YES or NO in your case?

Hmpf, just hit the wrong button.... wanted to quote you.
I got mine from amazon too, bootloader can be unlocked.
Sorry, I misspoke:
When I check my bootloader, I have the information that can not be unlocked: No Unlockable
It says : NO

Did you root your phone? When rooting the value changes to NO, but when you flash the original ftf it returns to yes.
I got mine from amazon.de and it can be unlocked.

To correct this, after rooting with locked BL, delete the file "libservicemenu.so" using a root explorer. U shall find it in: "data/data/com.sonyericsson.android.servicemenu/lib". I read about this fix on the XZ rooting thread and it works on my ZL :good:. Hope it works for u guys too.

Hey will unlocking the bootloader with the unlock tool void the "Hardware" warranty?
if you relock it, I think sony would know since you unlock it through their servers right?

I'm afraid, yes! I've read about sony refusing to honour warranty to many Xperia S users for repair of screen "yellow tint" issue owing to their unlocked BL status. Even if you relock the BL you still won't restore the sony DRM keys to the "TA" & that's probably how sony service guys know about unlocked BL status, of course beside the record on their website (regarding unlock code request).

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).

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.

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

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.

HTC does track that. If you unlocked the bootloader, they know about it.
All they know is you asked for a unlock code. They have no way to prove that you used it.

I don't know if it's as cut & dried as that. Like clsA said, they don't know whether or not you used the unlock token.
HTC's FAQ references the warranty implications and the warranty issue is also referenced in their explanation about unlock vs S-ON/OFF.
From my reading of their explanations, unlocking does not automatically mean warranty claims will be rejected. It simply adds an additional element to the process of determining whether or not the issue is HTC's responsibility or the user's.

True. But they told me that I would need to send it in if I had any issues, then they would determine if I caused it by unlocking the bootloader or not. (like you said).
I've never made a warranty claim with HTC before, but my guess is that while they'd need the phone to be sent in, they would be looking for physical proof that its bootloader was unlocked. I suppose they might ask you directly if they look at the HTCdev request record, but more likely they'd just check the phone itself.
I'm afraid you probably can't avoid unlocking the bootloader via HTCdev - modders aren't going to spend time on a new method when HTC is being so accommodating. On the flip side, their friendly stance towards modders indicates that they aren't necessarily looking to give them a bum rap.

Yeah, I get both of your points. I would think the same exact thing too. Especially if I have a custom rom, there theoretically should be no way for them to prove that I USED the token, just that I got the token.
Based on my experience with HTC support (HORRIBLE), I wouldn't be surprised if they just charge you if you got the key.

I can speak from personal experience that HTC will not deny service simply because you unlocked. I s-off'd and modded my M7 to hell and back, and they still fixed the pink camera defect for free.
From what I have heard from over the years, HTC may have some undisclosed methods of knowing when the bootloader has been unlocked, even when the phone has been restored to bone stock. Whether this is true, I cannot say, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised. HTC's historic friendliness toward modding may well be in part because they know they can tell when you've screwed things up on your own.
So if i ask the token from htcdev and i don't use, void the warranty? But i don't use.
But if i use the token and unlock my bootloader and i buy a s-off and set back the flag: Locked , void the warranty?
Ok, I tried about every method and every stock rom I found on the net in order to relock the bootloader for my XT1922-3. And whenever I try to lock or unlock the bootloader I get the message "invalid boot state" and the next line read "OKAY". The bootloader remains unlocked. Bootloader shows "flashing_unlocked". Please, can anybody help me? I really don't know what else to do.
There's no point in relocking it plain and simple that's why you haven't found anything about it. Even if you do relock it for the purposes of trying to trick Moto it literally tells them in the logcats it's been bootloader unlocked. Also once you request the key and use it it voids the warranty which Moto also knows about. If your trying to sell it just be honest and tell the person it's bootloader unlocked but it doesn't effect the phones performance

I was just worried that something has gone wrong while unlocking. Thanks for the reply!
It should be possible to re-lock it like this (connect to PC in (stock) recovery mode --> fastboot oem lock begin --> flash stock ROM --> fastboot oem lock).
Also according to Motorola.
However it doesn't work on my device (XT1922-3). It returns confirmation messages with no single error, but it seems to ignore the command as the bootloader is still unlocked and still allows flashing other ROMS. I haven't seen anyone who succeeded in re-locking their Moto G6, except this person, although the same method is used.
General info:
- Motorola claims that just requesting an unlock code already voids the warranty (boooh!), except for the so called "Developer Editions". This however is a false statement if you bought your device in Europe, even if your bootloader is unlocked and have a custom ROM installed (they are required to follow the EU directives which means they can only withdraw the warranty on this basis when they can proof that the damage is caused by the custom software). I don't know about other regions.
- When unlocking a Motorola-device, it will be permanently detectible that it has been unlocked, even if you re-lock it afterwards. I've read that they use eFuses for this (clearing a value (possibly outside the partitions) or in some cases physically burn a small fuse). For restoring an eFuse you would need to know its initial value and set it again (generally not possible through known interfaces like USB,...).

What? Why would they let you "re do" your warranty, when they tell you it's void as soon as you request an unlock code ? You can do all manner of stupid crap to brick your phone with an unlocked bootloader.
It allows you to try to flash the wrong firmware, to downgrade sensitive partitions (bootloader, gpt, etc) which would bork security updates and all manner of crap as well as bricking.
And they should allow you to re-lock and indiscriminately let you just warranty and rma your stupid mistakes?
We all wish they would but...
You know the risk when you unlock. They clearly tell you on Motorola's web site, as well as all posts on XDA that show you how to unlock your bootloader.
And you think you got cheated somehow? Geez.

In reality mostly the opposit happens. Many users with stock ROM and locked bootloaders are exposed to potential security risks, because they're not getting updates anymore after a while, or none at all (Motorola = 2 years). An unlocked bootloader and optionally a custom ROM can solve this.

Motorola smartphones are quite unique in this matter. My other phone didn't had a locked bootloader by default. I'm more secure with the latest Lineage OS than the older stock ROM. And this doesn't void warranty, even if bought in the US. Laptops/PCs all have unlocked bootloaders. Using custom software shouldn't void warranty. It's not so strange…

Yup, fortunately for us, here in the EU consumers still have rights. Motorola can put whatever they want in their policies, but these don't trump our rights. IMO it's a strange - even dangerous - statement that anyone needs to agree to the biddings of a private company to keep their warranty. This warranty is granted us by LAW. Why would anyone argue in the favour of a large private enterprise anyway? We need to be protected from them, not the other way around.

It's the same in the US. It falls under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975, which was ruled to apply to smart phones in 2015 by the FTC. We can run 3rd party software all day long and it doesn't void the warranty. You root and the headphone jack craps out? It's covered. You root, run an overclocked kernel and burn up the cpu? Then they'd have to prove that whatever you did, broke the phone in order to void the warranty. If they can't, they gotta replace it. They won't even look into it at that rate. It isn't worth the cost of litigation. It's cheaper to just send you a new one.

Firstly don't consider locking the bootloader once you've done any ROM modifications.
Secondly unlocking the bootloader doesn't actually void the warranty on a Xiaomi device so you should be fine. However it's up to the discretion of Xiaomi (i.e if you brick the device then that's your fault)

You have to check Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco warranty policy in your country yourself. The regulation varies between countries and regions.
In many countries and regions Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco still have warranty coverage after bootloader unlocked, but there's some exceptions. Check it yourself on the official website.

And maybe unlock the bootloader not void the warranty but if I install the EU rom that is void that?

Relock bootloader with Xiaomi.eu ROM that was based on China ROM in your Global phone is dangerous.
You can try if you dare to risk it on your Poco F3. You have been warned.
The principle is: do not lock bootloader.

Flash stock ROM back into phone, which makes phone looks identical to just after bootloader unlocked, so it's can still be under warranty, if you were able to flash it back.
There are exceptions that will still void warranty, read the policy yourself.
