Hi,
First off sorry for any reposts is didnt know what else to do after reading forum posts for hours and hours.
So heres the Crack. I'm tring to flash CM 9 onto my SE Xperia Arc (LT15i) and so far here is what i have done.
dialed *#*#7378423#*#* and found my phone is BOOTLOCKER ENABLED=NO
Asked o2 for a Sim Unlock Code
Entered that unlock code sucssesfuly
re dialed the num in point one to find that is sill says no
tried putting into fastboot anyway (as suggested by users in another post)
I'm other things i did where email and ring o2 both gave me no help and email sony mobile and recive no reply after now a week and a half
does anyone have any tips on turning the boot loader to say yes as that is my only hurdle to rooting this phone, i believe it is possible as i read a page on the sony forums sayinf a spansih comanpy called movistar was offering it for there customers however i then though one last ditch attempt with o2 on there forums where the customer service lady flatout refuses knowlage of a bootloader.
in summery a) sorry for rambling a little b) is it even possible by any means to change the UNLOCK BOOTLOADER: NO to UNLOCK BOOTLOADER: YES. and if so how?? c) sorry again if this is a duplicate post i didnt know what else to do at this stage.
If the SIM unlock was successful you should be able to unlock your bootloader. Just follow the steps here:

Actually no. Just removing the SIM-lock does not enable fastboot (and does not change Bootloader Unlock Allowed, it still stays on No).
The only way to unlock bootloader is by using test point method, if your phone is manufactured before 12W11 (11th week of 2012). You can check it under the battery. If your phone is manufactured after 12W11, then you can not unlock your bootloader and can only use stock-based ROMs.
There is no known solution to this at the moment and due to lack of interest by developers, it is highly unlikely someone will work on it.
It seems like i found the solution.
you have to pay £10 via paypal on phoneunlockserver(dot)com
and he will log on to you computer via himatchi and you put your tweezers on the test point (for the arc its under the sim card) and then plug into the usb and he flashes a kernal or something.
i havn't tried this out yet but if anyone has please let me know how it went

This is called the test point method. It only works on phones manufactured before 12W11.

oh okay thats wallright then mines an 11W18
No need to remove SIM-lock, just find the guide to unlock bootloader via test point method using S1Tool. Follow the guide and it should work.
You can do it pretty much by yourself, no need to pay, if I remember correctly.
Registered and got my bootloader code from Sony last night.
I didn't write it down and now I can't access it. I'm told an email has been sent to me to verify my address but I've got no such email.
Can someone please explain my options. I have searched for a site where I can pay for a code but can't find one.
Help would be appreciated, I'm so close but yet so far!

Hi Spinning_Top,
I think you can just go back through the same steps on Sony's website that you took to get the unlock key the first time... and get the unlock key again. Have you tried it again to see if that would work?

Hi there, I tried from a different IP address and got it successfully. Thanks
Now I have a more significant problem, I will post a new thread!
Well i took some time to send a long email to lg and i might got somewhere. Some of you may say its not worth the time and so on but who knows lets try. Lg send me a link to there forum for devs. And i looked up the lg g4 vs986. I got 3 post. Thats it. 3. Is it worth a shot if we all post to there forum and demand a bootloader unlock for our vs986. They have a bootloader unlock for there fancy h815 phone but most of us are stuck in the dust with nothing knowing we paid $600 for this phone. Why not give us the freedom to do as we wish on our phone. It be nice to see a bootloader unlock soon so that we can have a custom recovery and all the things we want, including 6.0 that may just required a bootloader unlock. Here is the post if someone wants to start and maybe show lg to get off there a$$ and start working on a bootloader unlock if we all keep pushing the demand for it
I hope i at least helped the community here at xda. If i did help thanks just want to be part of the team

Is this possible to skip? Can we unlock with adb / fastboot or is that not going to work / likely to brick the device?
Unlock Resposibly
adb or fastboot unlock will only work after 14 days of waiting. It is to allow you to rethink your decision. OEM unlock will obviously void your warranty and applications like Android pay will stop working. Trust me, relocking will not be easy as unlocking. Even if you somehow get it relocked, Android pay will still not work for you. So, unlock responsibly.
Thanks for the reply . I'm really doing it for root access, modifying the hosts file, changing fonts and boot animation, but the latter two aren't necessities.
I don't use Android pay (don't use contactless) but I am a little concerned that online banking will cease to function when the phone is on a stock firmware and rooted. If there's an effective system wide ad blocker I may use that instead.
For hosts file, I recommend dns66, available through fdroid, no root required.
i have found that many banking apps will continue to work with root provided you also have a hide root app installed but android pay is a no go.

Thanks! First I've heard of fdroid, looks very useful, and dns66 does exactly what I was planning on doing.

CHEERS
Hello guys.
For those having bootloader unlock server issue (normally everybody), there's a post on the Lenovo forum that gives the origin of the issue:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/P2-P2a...-bootloader/m-p/4574568/highlight/true#M12457
In fact, the problem seems coming from an non renewed SSL Certificate in the Lenevo server tracking the OEM Unlocking requests.
The suggestion given by fls2 is to change the date of the P2 phone to a previous date than the 10 July 2019 and the Bootloader Unlocking process should be launched.
That's what I've done with a second P2 I bought that has its bootloader locked.
I set the date to 10th of April 2019 and the phone is now waiting for 14 complete days to engage the OEM Bootloader unlock instead of the usual Lenovo ID error pop-up.
I'll wait for the process to end and see if everything went fine, but it seems that it should be OK as it was with my first P2 phone.
I'll keep you informed if there are some trouble in the process but I stay confident.
In case of success, we should address a very big "thank you" to fls2 for pointing out the issue with Lenovo server.
20 days have passed since registered. Always shows error.
Unable to unlock OEM.
Don't know what to do...
Hello everyone,
As I have written in my last post, I've used the suggested method of manually changing the date to one before the 10th July 2019.
So, as I've said, the 14 days counter has been correctly launched and I was able to see the counter evolving from 14 to 2 days.
Then I was a little bit busy and I haven't followed my P2 phone until last week-end.
When I tried to consult the status of the bootloader unlocking request, I had the same annoying pop-up telling me there's a problem with my account.
The date was fixed to 10th of April 2019 manually, but still had connection error pop-up.
I then tried to switch to current day date of the week-end (29/02/2020), and tried to check again the bootloader unlock status: Annoying pop-up again.
Before giving up, I've tried putting another date manually but at least 14 days after the one I've put when I made my first request and still before the 10th of July 2019, so I switched to 10th of June 2019.
This time, when I checked the bootloader unlock request, I've got no error and had a positive bootloader unlock message that told me the phone is going to reboot and erase all user data that are present.
The phone has rebooted in Fastboot mode and I was able to send the awaited "fastboot oem unlock" command from my laptop.
I didn't try to reboot the system and see if the fastboot command will work if I go in fastboot mode by myself, because I didn't want to miss the opportunity to succeed in unlocking the bootloader of this phone.
I let the people brave enough to try if they feel comfortable with that.
Now this phone is working with an AICP Android Q ROM that seems very stable.

Try to follow my steps.
There's no reason I've succeded and you cannot.
I'm sure you'll be able to unlock your bootloader as I've done.
If you have some question, just feel free to ask.
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader too. Is there any way to avoi waiting 15 days? I'm still using the Stock Rom by default (Android 6).
According to the last comment in the Lenovo forum, the changing date no longer works.
Thanks

AFAIK, no. You need to wait that. Also there is bigger problem than that which its the unlocking bootloader (server problem). Just you can read above, for no reason you cannot unlock bootloader.

@mahmutpekkara somehow I managed to unlock the OEM. It took me few attempts tho, so I'm guessing their servers are not always operating. No needed to change the date in my case.
Only 3 days remaining, so hopefully everything goes well.
So, after 15 days waiting I was getting the message ''Server sync data success'. I managed to get thru by signing off and signing in again with another account. Flashed properly and enjoying Syberia OS
I tried every possible way to unlock my mi6, but they all failed, including the international version, the Chinese version, I want to use the third-party rom and root, but I can't unlock my device so that I can't brush in recovery, I tried to force brush in recovery, but my mi 6 can't start, so I want to ask if there is any unofficial way to help me solve the problem of unlocking bootload, please don't tell me to use the official tools, because I tried. Who has an unofficial way to help me, thank you
AFAIK there's no unofficial bootloader unlock for the Mi 6 now.
You might get one eventually but it is unlikely since even though the three days waiting sucks it does work...
What was not working on the unlock?
Did you bind the account on your phone and then wait three days (minimum) and then use the unlock tool (latest version)?
If not then try again.
Give us more information and we can help you.

All I have tried, before this, I have a mi5, I think I should know how to unlock, it should not be my problem, unlock tool tips I did not bind, but I was bound state, I tried Kind of version fails, the same problem, my account already has permission, I think there are unofficial mys5 bootload method, I think mi6 may also exist, so I come to ask you a solution? In fact, there is a region in our country can be solved by mail bootload but need to pay, I do not want to pay do not want to mail. So to ask
First. flash the Chinese development rom,
and then unlock

At which point you failed?
1. Failed on 99% unlock tool?
2. Failed to get the system unlock on Developer Options (the error appear as toast and say something like "10008 参数错误 请参考API文档") ?
If it's #2, then you must connect to any VPN server that is located in Mainland China (Beijing/Shanghai).
If it's #1, then you most likely have to wait 72 hours after you receive your unlock permission from your SMS.
I've just unlocked Mi Mix 2 2 weeks ago. The difference I noticed from when I unlocked my Mi6 is that I need to connect to VPN server in China. Half a year ago, I don't need to do that.

Thanks for your help, I have unlocked successfully. Will you compile the rom? I have encountered some problems.
