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.

I've flashed absolutely everything, wiped whole data, but Account lock is still there. I tried with older android, and the BUG that allows me to download app from internet is working , but i can't find way to install bypass app. As soon as i click on APK it send me to chrome screen.

Hi guys,
Last week I've bought the Huawei P20 Lite and it's a great phone - but like the most of you all I like a rooted phone and the guide provided in this forum works perfectly but... my Huawei P20 Lite must have an unlocked bootloader.
No problem, I've used the Huawei unlock password webpage on my previous phone (P9 Lite), eh.... right... like other user mentioned - it's down for unknown reasons and an alternative isn't possible. Believe me I've tried them all - even the chinese pages which are very hard to read if you're not born in that country
So, I've read about DC-Unlocker other users have used to succesfully to get the bootloader unlock code but even when following every known tutorial to use it correctly I got no luck on my Windows 10 PC for hours to connect the needed COM ports. Even the programmer of DC-Unlocker respons in a forum question the software will only work on the P20 Pro!? But, other users managed to get the code.... strange..
Finally I've managed to get the bootloader unlock code and I do want to share it for all other users having troubles connecting the phone to use DC-Unlocker. It's my first tutorial so please be patient if I'm not clear or missing something; if that's the case do respond.
Method 1:
This one is quite easy but you'll need some patience (a couple of days in my case). Send a message with a request using the offical Huawei website and the Contact Us option: https://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/
I send a mail something like this:
Dear customer support,
I would like to receive an unlock bootloader code for my Huawei P20 Lite phone. I am aware I'll void my warranty but would like to get receive the code anyway.
Thank you.

A few days later I've got a respons with the answer this is possible and a few questions for the data they need to do so. Responding to the e-mail will result in the unlock code you'll need.
I cannot say how long it exactly will take to get a respons. In my case it was arranged in a few days but don't know how quick the respons will be for any other user.
Method 2:
For anyone who cannot wait a couple of days (like me), here's an alternative which will cost about 4 to 5 euro's (credits) to get the code using DC-Unlocker.
Requirements:
DC-Unlocker client which can be downloaded here: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/downloads
Windows 7 or 8 (Windows 10 didn't work for me - but hey, you can always try :good
Well, let's go:
First connect your phone to the PC using the original USB cable.
When drivers are installed a popup screen would appear to view the "HiSuite" drive. This is a created drive-letter which contains a HiSuite Software downloader. Click to open or use the Windows Explorer to browse to this virtual drive.
Install the HiSuite software - this is important to get the correct drivers AND correct COM ports installed on your system. Skipping this step will result in non working DC Unlocker software.
When all is done go to the settings in your phone and open: System -> About Phone and tap the Build-number line about 7 to 8 times. Most likely the phone will ask for a PIN to active the developers mode. This is the code you've setup to use your phone. If you're already have a "developers option" you can skip this step.
Now click the "back" arrow once and select "Developer options".
Tap OEM-Unlock to activate it (confirm if needed), scroll down and tap USB Debugging to turn it on.
Your phone should ask permission to connect your PC (with some MAC address). Confirm it so the connection is approved. If that doesn't show up disconnect the USB cable and check if the USB debug mode is still active in the "Developer options". Than reconnect the cable to your PC.
Now we're ready to use the DC-Unlocker software to get our unlock code:
First you need some credits and you can buy the using this link: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/buy
Just fill in the the fields User-name, E-mail and Credits. Leave the "New user account" option selected if you are a new user.
For the Credits you only need 4 of them. I, initially, bought 5 so I still have one left
You'll receive a confirmation e-mail with a username and password. These are needed a bit later.
Extract the DC-Unlocker client to a fold and start it by clicking dc-unlocker2client.exe using the Windows Explorer (or any other file manager). To be sure you can also right-click the file and start the program using Administrator credentials.
Select in the right portion of the program the tab "Server" and enter the username and password you've received by mail. Check the "Remeber" box and click "Check login" to verify your account.
Click in the left portion of the program the dropdown list below "Select manufacturer" and choose "Huawei phones".
Leave the droplist "Select model" selected at "Auto detect (recommended)".
Grab your phone and open your dialer to type this code: *#*#2846579#*#* - this will get you into the service menu of the phone.
Tap 1. Background Settings -> USB Port Settings and select Manufacture Mode and than tap Close.
Put the phone done and let your PC install the newly found drivers.
If that's done click the Magnifying glass in the DC-Unlocker client software.
If all is connected correctly your phone is detected and a message in the white part of the program will tell you so. Also the "Select Model" field should display Huawei HiSilicon Kirin Android if the detection is succesfull.
Now you're ready to read the unlock code! Yeah!
Click in the right portion of the DC-Unlocker client on the tab Unlocking.
Several buttons are visible but just click Unlock which could take a few moments before something is displayed in the white area at the bottom of the program window.
The unlock code can be copied and pasted - so please do copy the number to a text file and store it savely on your computer or in your cloud.
You are the proud owner of the unlock bootloader code of your phone so have fun and start rooting it using the tutorials on this forum! Have fun!
Final note (once again): I did not have any success getting the unlock code using DC-Unlocker while using a Windows 10 PC. No matter which drivers I tried, no matter how many times a tried, tried and tried some more - nothing would work. The needed virtual COM ports to read the phone information couldn't be installed. Finally I've used an older Windows 7 laptop and it work like a charm!
So beware; when you've no luck using Win 10, stop wasting time and use a virtual machine or old laptop/PC which has Win 7 (maybe Win 8)!
I've used the official website today and got my unlock code in a seconds.

This link is still active. Atleast for now; when entering the UNLOCK page on the website this announcement pops up:
To provide better user experience and avoid issues caused by ROM flashing, the unlock code application service will be stopped for all products launched after 2018-5-24.
For products released prior to this date, the service will be stopped 60 days after this announcement.
Thank you for your understanding. We will continue to provide you with quality services.

If I understand it correctly this unlock page is only available for about 60 days. The unlock page should be accessible until the 23rd of july 2018? I guess sending them an email will still do the job or you can use the DC-Unlocker tool as described in this topic.
Will they automatically cancel your warranty if you request this unlock code?
Hello everyone. I downloaded de DC-Unlocker, did all the process exactly as the steps and in the end the tool said it was successful and that my phone is now unlocked. However, it never gave me the code.
Is there any way to retrieve this code?
Edit: It seems all the wanted was more money. I had to buy an extra 4 credits to click on the option "read unlock code". Now I have it and my phone is unlock

I was using Windows 7.
Ironically, i had to revert it back to stock and lock the bootloader again because the phone was hardware damaged and I needed to take it back to the store so the could exchange it.
I don't want to spend more money to unlock the bootloader and root it, so this new phone will remain totally stock unless it is extremely necessary
Mine seems to work with DC Unlocker, but how to verify?
Thanks!

God damn. I seem to run into the same issue. CLT-L29 8.1.0.152(C432)
I heard that it's impossible to unlock the bootloader even if you have the code for it if running the latest OS update. Is this true? Are we stuck with Huawei's spyware for good?
Method 1 doesn't work anymore :

Dear Mr xxxxx,
thank you for your request regarding the bootloader code.
My name is Tolga Akburak, I would be happy to take care of your request.
We have stopped support for the bootloader code.
Therefore, unfortunately, it would no longer be possible.
If you have any further questions, I look forward to reading from you again. Until then, thank you very much for the pleasant communication and have a nice day.
Best regards,

Is it true that if your phone is unlocked there is some kind of warning message during boot?
I recently got a 7x from ebay.co.uk. I noticed the opened box states the model is BND-AL10 (Chinese) but in the phone settings it's a BND-L21 (International). S/N and IMEI match.
Out of curiosity I tried Huawei Firmware Finder for Oreo. I used DNS method, picked the top one as seen here (verified): hxxp://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=BND-L21C432&firmware_page=0
It downloaded like 20 patches totalling around 8+GB and then asked to reboot...and failed.
My phone still works but I now get this during boot:
"your device has failed verification and may not work properly.
1) Press power key to continue.
2) Press volume up key up to 3 seconds to enter erecovery to restore your device.
3) your device will stop,start if there is not operation.
I tried Huawei eRecovery: 'Getting package info failed'
What should I do? Noob.

erecovey fails for everybody. dont know why.
the message you see is normal if bootloader is unlocked. You should have had that same message first time you turned it on too.
Attempting to use firmware finder to apply updates , is not possible to unlock bootloader, so it had to have already been that way.

This is known message resulting from of having boooader unlocked. Few people have been trying to make it not show , but no one has made it public if they have been successful at hiding it.
Now you got that phone (used, I assume ).From eBay. Perhaps the previous owner found some way. And attempting to update made his "hack" undo. Don't really know.
You can check if bootloader lock status to be sure if it is unlocked or not.

that status is very bad.
that combination of unlocked bootloader and locked frp is often hard if not impossible to get past.
unless you can access developer options menu and enable "enable oem unlock" menu option.

I read that "Huawei is no longer offering bootloader unlock code in 60 days." I tried to request a unlock but I get just get
"If you have any questions about the unlock code application, please contact us."
Nothing happens. I contacted them.
Will I ever need that unlock code given that it is already unlocked? Should I return/refund the phone and buy from Amazon UK or am I wasting my time, since I'll likely be requesting a unlock code and possibly be playing with roms in a few years. I keep phones as long as possible and a basic user which is why I have little knowledge with them.

I would try and get a refund (if you bought via PayPal I think you may get some kind of support).
You can get the 7x from UK retailers for as low as £210. But the current Amazon price of £228 is not bad.
Do you browse HotUKDeals? Always check there before buying anything in the UK or from China.

i think it is a little suspicious on the bootloader getting unlocked like that, but if its working , and you flashed full ota, then maybe give it a try.

"Dear buyer,
Sorry for bring you any inconvenience and disappointment, the reason we have opened the package is because we need to download a multiplied language system to the phone before sent it out, they it can be use normal in this country. And for the model no, that's a normal phenomenon after rooting the phone.
Anyway, is it affect your use? what can us do for you now?"

Since the bootloader is unlocked I won't need to request a unlock code or ever need that code? As I did read Huawei is no longer offering bootloader soon.

Hi. I'm having an issue with this new phone. It's Wowi Ultra SQ766. On start up interface the 'Red State' notice comes up, goes off for 5 seconds and comes back on. The full message states:
'Red State
Your device has failed verification and may not work properly.
Please download boot image with correct signature or disable verified boot.
Your device will reboot in 5 seconds'.
Could you please help me out with a solution or fix for this.

If it is indeed the FRP lock then you have two options:
Input the last used google account information and password. Then perform a factory data reset to turn off the FRP lock
If you purchased or was given the phone contact the person whom you received it from and get the google account information. After entering the account and once your able to use the device perform a factory data reset to disable FRP lock
Otherwise no other help can be offered because the FRP lock is an anti-theft measure. If it was your google account last used and you don't remember your username/password then contact google for help. If you purchased or were given the device then you need to return it and/or get your back.
It is important to remember that when you sell/buy a phone (or give it to another person) it is important to always perform a factory data reset on the device. By performing a factory data reset you remove the google account information and disable the FRP lock.
Thank you, none of these options come into play. There is no way to get rid of this situation with this software? ;(.. Regards

FRP lock is enabled because a google account was present on the phone. In order to remove the FRP lock you need to input the Google account information and perform a factory data reset after your able to access the settings menu.
Was it your google account information that was last used on the phone or someone else's?
Granted it would be helpful if you put a little more info on what it is your trying to do exactly with the phone and what happened leading up to the issue (example: Are you trying to flash firmware to it, are you trying to root it (if root exists for the model), did you buy the phone, did someone give it to you, etc)
It is plain clear that the device is from an unclear origin, a legally owned device can ALWAYS be serviced ultimately by samsung or carrier, whichever one does it in such or such country, when people says it is "imposible" then for sure, they have no legal proof of ownership
I just found that OP posted a similar situation in the honor 10 section, back in 2018, in which of course nobody offered help, as it looked suspicious

The phone had a google account, I did a hard reset. And the blockade popped out. I can go to the Samsung website but I will have to pay for this service. I wanted to rotate the device. I'm not a layman, I know a little about phones. However, this model had the latest firmware. I am not a thief and I have documents for this device.

The device is legally bought, I just do not want to go to the site and pay for removing the lock, it is an authorized service on this latest Android.

Factory data reset disables FRP lock. If that is what you did then you shouldn't be getting a prompt. Since you can't enter the Google account information it is apparent it was not your Google account last used.
Unfortunately having papers saying you bought it doesn't mean the phone was obtained legitimately. The person you got it from may not have had the right to sell it.
I suspect there is more going on here then meets the eye.
If Samsung said they really can fix it go that route.
The proper ways to get help with FRP lock have been posted.
Recover the Google account and log in as usual, or seek official help from Samsung. Any other means will not be discussed on XDA.
Hey guys I'm in big trouble
Short story I tried to update to MIUI 12 and ended up with only bootloader working, I followed this guide getdroidtips.com/guide-flash-miui-rom-xiaomi-devices/#How_to_Flash_Xiaomi_Firmware_using_Fastboot to flash the stock rom but I installed Global instead of Chinese (My phone is chinese), when I boot it says that "this miui version cant be installed on this device, looks like my bootloader have been locked again.
I tried flashing the correct rom with mi flash tool but no success
If anyone has any idea of what I need to do please tell me I absolutely dont know what to do :/
Thanks in advance
You should try to unlock the bootloader again.Remember, you can only re-open with the account you first opened.

Thanks for your response!
I tried unlocking it again but it tells me that I need to add my account in the MIUI settings which of course I can't do.
My phone came with an already unlocked bootloader when I bought it because it's a chinese version with global rom.
Do you think the account needed to re unlock the bootloader could be the one the seller used to unlock it the first time ?

possibly opened with the seller's account,if the seller cannot unlock, the only method is EDL,authorized account is required for this and the back cover needs to be removed.

Ok, I'll see with the seller then.
There's something I don't understand with EDL, what step needs an authorized account?
If I open my phone, short-circuit the pin to enter EDL mode then flash the fastboot rom via Mi Flash Tool will I be just asked to login at some point ?
I tried to connect to account_auth.exe and I get the message "This computer is bound to your PC, you can start now". Does this mean that my account is authorized ?
The differents guides explaining how to check if an account is authorized never show this and I'm not getting that red error message so that's weird

you are getting this error because your account is not authorized.xiaomi services have this account if you find a completely informal service maybe they will help or a quality not offical phone service.The repairers who think that they will repair the device can make the device brick.You should be careful and finally,you can take a look at it, maybe it will work.

Thanks for the advice, I'll look into that
Quick update in case someone is going through the same problem and need some help:
I contacted this guy on whatsapp +7 967 777-15-98, cost me 29usd and the guy had to try like 3 times over team viewer until it worked but in the end it did.
So yeah basically for now the only solution seems to be paying random dudes in Ukraine :/
Let's hope Xiaomi change their policy or someone find a bypass to this EDL authorization bullsh*t

Do you recommend this boy ?, I contacted him yesterday but for not wanting to pay 4 extra dollars I decided to go with another one but he doesn't give me an answer

Yeah it's quite expensive but I can confirm it works, he's the only one I can recommend as he's the only one I paid
If you found a cheaper one it might be worth waiting a bit for him to respond, be sure to Google his phone number to be sure it's not a scam tho
