If you're experiencing errors, please report them either in the thread or PM me.
Please report ANY errors or typos you come across, I made this in 4 hours without a single break, so there's bound to be an error somewhere
What's new:
-Completely rewritten (ACTUALLY written, not VB)
-Even simpler! NO MORE COPYING!
-Even smaller in disk size!
-No tutorial needed! Yes, it's that easy -- just read carefully and don't panic
There's still no way to:
-relock the bootloader
-flash FTF files
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Note: Inside the Fastboot.rar, there are fastboot drivers for 2012 Xperias. Install them if you dont have them yet. Those are the only useful files you need from that folder, everything else (both adb and fastboot) are already contained in the new BU.zip!
TESTING:
Reported working Windows versions:
Windows 7 x86
Windows 7 x64
Windows Vista x86
WANT TO HELP?
Then test it and report your phone model and windows version (x64/x86, service pack etc.) -- send me a PM
Please do... You can always flash a kernel or recovery.
Thanks for helping me and all those noobs out
About the attachments:
-Fastboot; contains adb and fastboot, plus Xperia 2012 Windows drivers
-BootloaderUnlock; contains the old PMFT - version 2 (kind of useless unless you understand everything it says in there)
-nexus; the NEW PMFT - version 3 -- if you already have the drivers, this is all you need

I've been getting some questions on PM lately, about 'how to unlock my bootloader'...
So, fed up with those infinite PMs, I quickly put this together (30 minutes, not much).
It's not much, and I've only tested it for one minute, but it should help the average noob user get their bootloader unlocked.
(I've only tested this on a x86 Win7 PC, so please help me find out where this works on.)
So, the basic idea is, that the noob user extracts the attached adb and fastboot .zip file and extracts it to disk C: (I'll make options for other drives later on, I just need to know whether or not this works). The user then opens up the program inside BootloaderUnlock (and installs it), and, after many warnings, gets to a screen where he is told to input his Bootloader unlock code (obtained from Sony's website).
The program then warns the user a little more, just to make sure he understands, and then, two lines of text show up.
The user enters those lines of text into the console window (the fastboot.exe he extracted at the beginning) and Viola!
If all steps have been done correctly, he now has an unlocked bootloader
It's a simple, yet fool-proof concept, tested on a complete phone moron (after reading some instructions on Sony's unlock site).
Please help me test this, as this may be really helpful to those that don't understand FlashTool and don't have an idea how to do it via the official method.
Also, if you don't understand, there are some instructions within the program (written in VB, so you may need NET framework... MAY need it...)
Thanks for helping me and all those noobs out
Note: extract the fastboot.rar to C:, so you will have the fastboot.exe in C:\Fastboot\fastboot.exe
Note: Inside the Fastboot.rar, there are fastboot drivers for Xperias. Install then if you dont have them yet.
Note: The BootloaderUnlock.rar is a visual basic program. Please help me test it on different Windows systems (XP, Vista, 7, 8, 2000; all both x86 and x64)

No it wouldn't. It'll either work or not
Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S
Yeah, it's actually the same as Sony's way, this program just tells the user what to write into the CMD window.
You can't brick your phone with this, because it either suceeds or fails. Either gain or no gain (and no loss) for the user...

i think he was referring to:
IF you are so beginner that you aren't able to even unlock your bootloader
THEN you could be so newbie to brick it
That's possible, if you're pointing to the fact they could brick their phone after unlocking the bootloader.
But before the unlock, no, it wouldn't be possible...
But hey, some people might have trouble with windows and are new to it. (I know many linux users that are forced to use windows for their phones that could use tools like this for their phones (not Sony, but others...)...)
So can this way unlock any bootloader even if it says bootloader locked? Thanks
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
Nope.
Did you not read the first post?
It's the same as the official method, but simplified...
Nothing's changed, basically, so it can't do more and it can't do less!
Ok thanks just dont understand why they sell ones that can and others you cant unlock oh well

It's because companies like AT&T give locked down phones away for free with a service contract. That way they can lock some services to make you pay more. For example AT&T makes you pay an additional monthly fee for the use of tethering (only when you use the att stock Rom, it's free on generic version )

2012Xperia SOFT-BRICK Recovery Thread
So I guess it's great in my country;
you don't get a 'free' phone, you pay at least 1€ (depending on the plan you chose; I chose the one where I get to pay 370€ for a nozomi)
You can always trade your phone on Swappa (you have loads of ads on CM's sites and forums) and get an unlockable one...
what is the difference between this tool and this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794800
This one, you can't flash things with, and you don't need a ton of downloads...
Yours is actually a program that uses FlashTool... It has flashtool included in the libs, which means:
1. You download the program AND the giant FlashTool
2. It can flash FTF, IMG and SIN files (because this is flashtool after all...)
I came up with my method for people with bad internet and limited storage...
It actually is the official method, but with a "paste-press-copy-paste" procedure, although the main idea is about the same as all the others...
Basically, every method is based on the official way, but there's a bit of variation here and there...

Let the Noob try it !!
Hey Guys,
I am a Noob and have been trying to unlock my bootloader for about a week now, I have tried a few methods without any joy.
I will give this a go and will report back if it works or not. :laugh:
Your problem might be one of these, if it doesn't work:
1. Your phone is not in fastboot mode -- did you check that?
2. You don't have the right drivers installed on your PC -- or do you?
3. Your phone's bootloader may not be unlockable -- now, if you didn't check that, you really are a noob.
4. Your unlock code is incorrect -- that was the case with me, but in the end that was the only problem...

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, the problem i have is with the drivers. I have tried different solutions as posted here and on the web.
But still could not get the drivers to work??
I will try this method as it states the drivers are included. If it all works awesome, if not then I fail and will forever be stuck with stock rom's.
Which windows are you running (vista, 7, 8, is it 32 or 64 bit?)?
Also, did you try with FlashTool's drivers?

I'm running windows 7 on a 64 bit laptop.
Tried the flashtool drivers also but still no joy, I check in device management for S1 and each time there is a problem installing the drivers.
I still have a PC running vista so might give that a try if all else fails.
Thanks for your help so far, will keep you updated with how I get on

Yes, please do that! But chances are that it has a signed secureboot policy that turns off signature checking, and it is specific to that device.
You can now unlock the bootloader with FunkyHuawei for a fee of $55, or 30 Euros with Ministry of Solutions (cheaper but FunkyHuawei is more certain)
As most of you already know, Huawei stopped giving away bootloader unlock codes. So it is up to us, to hack our way to root and custom ROMs.
Following, are a few things we could try,
Also, I own a Nova 3i currently. There are always the possibility that something working for me won't work for you, because of different chipsets, but I guess that this forum is also for the development of Nova 3i.
NOTE THAT SOME OF THE FOLLOWING ARE PAID SERVICES. I'M NOT RELATED WITH ANY OF THEM.
+DC-Unlocker:
I tried the latest version, got an unknown error 375. (This error also goes for the latest versions of P20 Pro, Mate 10, etc.). And the developers said that they won't support any new Huawei phones, and that they'll leave new Huawei phones for HCU-Client, because the two services are related.
+HCU-Client:
You can't try this without buying credits. If you feel generous, go on and try this. They released a couple of new versions in this week.
+Bootloader exploiting:
I really don't know anything about this, feel free to contribute.
+Secret Fastboot backdoors:
There can be a LOT of these, considering that there are a family of commands under <fastboot oem backdoor>. And I discovered quite a lot of secret commands, almost every one of them sounding like that they could seriously brick the device. For example, consider what <fastboot oem djtagtosd> sounds like. (Search Google for JTAG) If you would like to test some of the less-dangerous looking ones, please PM me, even an old Huawei device is okay as long as it has a Kirin chipsets.
Please check this link from P20 Pro Forum - we may have a chance to be supported if many of us do the request. I have done mine. - https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...ol-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3779080

Maybe there is some legislation about that, actually the issue of locked bootloaders runs more than 6/7 years (I think) and they had plenty of time if they wanted to do that... but we can hope, considering things like GDPR.
At least one of things they MUST do is releasing the kernel sources, because by using Android they agree to some license (I don't remember the name) that mandates releasing kernel source..
BTW you can now unlock the bootloader with FunkyHuawei for a fee of $55, or 30 Euros with Ministry of Solutions (they are cheaper, but they look more shady, and I can't help noticing that there website looks just like one of those poorly done scam sites :laugh

mandated but no one is enforcing it so huawei will just delay the relase of the kernel source until the insterest has died out.
nope, not gonna take that risk :laugh:. $55 seems cheaper until it's converted to my country's currency. haha.

Another one source to unlock bootloader - $22
This method has already been tested on 4pda. Working TWRP can be taken from here
And HCU doesn't have NOVA 3 support yet to read the unlock code now
OEM Unlock option
Is it enought to enable "OEM Unlock" in "Developer Options" from the phone settings to unlock the bootloader and I can simply install TWRP afterthat? (the option "OEM Unlock" is not greyed out, and can be easily enabled, at least in the devices that are sold in my country).
Or do I still have to unlock it using unlock key from Huawei Website (or other sources)?

Yep. It is like this when you issue the command in fastboot to unlock:
Without code and without enabling the toggle: Gives and error telling to turn on the toggle.
With code and without enabling the toggle: Same as above
Without code and toggle enabled: Error wrong password
With both: Success
I think we are lucky on that side, I think that the toggle is also disabled on Mate 20 series. So we can unlock the bootloader. with external sources for now, so it may be a good idea to block OTA updates.

you have to root first by installing magisk or supersu. and it needs twrp to root. in case of nova 3i there isnt any existing twrp. only on nova 3 since it has the same soc as p20pro.
was about to test it on my nova 3i. good thing i checked the specs of nova 3 first before proceeding.

"fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img". That's what entered in cmd. Also after magisk patched the ramdisk the patched ramdisk is only 5mb. The original was around 25mb.
What should be patched anyway? I patched ramdisk.img via magisk ang since the partitioning is different with phones released with oreo. What is your method?
*update*
well, this sux. based on what i have read on other huawei device flashing via fastboot is not always the best way. the phone may display that the bootloader is unlock but it wont still allow any modifications. why cant this be straight forward like samsung/oneplus. this is frustrating.

What if we try obtaining a code by one of the third party methods and try that? Maybe they just forgot or didn't care to set the variables you saw there as this is a new chipset. I think it is not really unlocked, if it was the phone will display the "Your device has been unlocked and cannot be trusted" message on boot.
Looks like what I said before is true. fastboot oem lock-state info returns USER Locked.

They are just copy pastes and no longer works as of Huawei stopping providing codes.
Google should try to remove them from coming at top of Google searches, IDK.
I tried unsuccessfully to install TWRP on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro.
These are the steps I took:
Unlock the bootloader with MiUnlock.
Downloaded Fastboot.
Copied this CFW TWRP inside the Fastboot folder.
Downloaded these two files and copied inside the Fastboot folder.
fastboot flash preloader preloader_begonia.bin
fastboot flash lk lk.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-begonia_UNOFFICIAL.img
fastboot reboot
And the result is that it no longer turns on. It also fails neither to enter the Fastboot screen, nor in that of recovery.
Windows no longer sees the device, so I can't interact in any way even with the folders inside the phone memory. Finally it is not even seen by Xiaomi Flash Tool (wanting to try to reinstall the official ROM).
The phone, immediately after unlocking it with the Xiaomi tool, had MIUI 12. I don't know which Android mounted (my fault), but I proceeded the same, without doing a downgrade, since in a discussion here on the forum it seemed that it could work same, even without downgrading to Android 9.
Is there any way to fix?
Maybe using Linux, you might be able to interact with the phone memory even if it is turned off / bricked?

Without hoping in the least, I solved it by following this video step-by-step.
I thank the author of this video a million times.
For anyone who was reading and needed it, there is no need to open the phone, remove the battery, connect various wires... You can do everything from software with a couple of clicks, even if the phone does not seem to want to connect absolutely to the PC.
Follow the linked video, it's very simple and you will save a lot of money!
Only if you have flashed it with a CFW

Good for CFW, but if you are on a official MIUI and you've hardbricked it then you have to through an authorised Xiaomi account, in other words, it is a "payable flash" that you have to perform.
I had the same problem
Months ago I tried to install a stock ROM prior to the latest version installed, I got a brick exactly like the one you have, I didn't know who to go with until days ago, in a group on Telegram.
There is a group where a boy from Spain helped me with his authorized account for € 30, if you want to contact him I will leave you the link of the group.

I am not quite clear what you mean exactly, but I, before proceeding with trying to flash a custom ROM, I had connected my original Xiaomi account to the device in question and also had requested the unlocking of the bootloader through the appropriate Xiaomi software (and I finally waited the time indicated by them, before proceeding). So on my Note 8 Pro there was actually the original / official MIUI updated to the latest version and I didn't need to proceed with a payment of any kind following that tutorial.

Let ASUS know their bootloader implementation is VERY NOT FRIENDLY to us. I've been modding my Android devices since the Android 2 era and this is the first time I encountered an UNOFFICIALLY UNRECOVERABLE state which is a HORRIBLE experience.
Me? Have played with
Samsung(S5 to S9 and Tab/Odin is a good thing)
XiaomiRedmiPoco(Main device for me today, very modder friendly and robust)
Huawei(Remember when they allow applying for BL unlock?)
Apple(LOL jailbreak from A4 SoC until iPhone X(meantime Samsung S8 looks gorgeous) lost my interest)
And various small brands or exited market big brands(honorable mention Lenovo LePhone C101. My first smart device/Android and received big community support at the good old time)
ASUS. Fix your buggy BL. Fix your policy. Release everything we need to fix OUR DEVICES of OURSELVES. Just ONE step closer to perfect.
Just imagine how stupid is this:
Everytime you want to update you operating system, your UEFI/BIOS firmware might break.
And worse, that you don't have free official resources to fix it?
And can it be worse? Yes! Your Warranty is maybe void because you may unlocked bootloader, now supposedly only ASUS service center have the file to fix it.
Ha now it's interesting. That's the era of ANTITRUST. Even Apple won't do it(Worst case DFU, easily fixable using OFFICIAL iTunes).
WT*?
yeah dude i'm bricked up rn
Paid here, paid there.
Yeah sure.
Exploit people.
Perhaps instead of ranting about asus, you could tell us what you have done exactly to brick your device, and someone might be able to help you ? can you get into fastboot at all?
EDIT: quoted content removed.
Never use this firmware, because it has not been modified, 100% of fingerprints and IMEI will be lost after use. You need to modify the firmware before you can flash it.

1\ The fastboot code in their bootloader have bugs, any CORRECT command you type can easily break bootloader then stuck you in 9008.
2\ The normal update method failed because THEIR UPDATER did do things wrong.
3\ They refuse to provide official ROM to let yourself fix it. SEND IT TO ME TO FIX IT, AND I MIGHT CHARGE YOU SOME.
....\
N\ You go talk to Apple about it because they are experts about saying YOU USED IT WRONG.
Anyone asked for help gets it for free so far.
All devs on my chat group agree at least fastboot flashable should be available on the official download page.

If you can boot into fastboot you can just flash the RAW ROM file available a few days ago. It's not bricked in this case.
