Bootloader unlock?

Wiktorpolak — Fri, 13 Dec 2019 15:38:02 GMT

Is there any way to get my bootloader unlocked at all if my system info has bootloader unlock allowed set as :no?

Ive had problems with storage for ages now and system files locked behind phone root storage take up to 99% of my device data capacity, factory reset barely changes amything.

No, not possible.

And I highly doubt they take up 99%, unless you can provide proof, a photo or something, I think you are mistaken, to be honest.

The bootloader can now be unlocked and has been possible for a while. There's an official Sony guide on how to do it.

You do need to put your IMEI code into the site to generate a code to allow this via ADB Fastboot though

Only for phones whos status says Yes, for an unlock.

If you read the instructions and information in the guide, it clearly states, "If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked."

So no, the O.P would not be able to unlock it.
