Sony Z1 Fastboot Driver Installing issue? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to get my bootloader unlocked.. i went to the Sony website and followed all the steps... i have my bootloader key.. i am on step 3 out of 4..
i gotten to the part where its asking me to replace the driver file inside USB_Driver with the one from sonys website...
after going though and doing it my driver still wont update and allow me to finish the unlocking.
i have tried doing this though flashtool but i also get the same error when trying to complete the last step..
to confirm i have SDK manager and flash tool and i still cant get it to work.
Would anyone care to help me via skype/teamviewer? i dont mind paying you some money for your time..
i gotten to this stage before and its really frustrating (with another phone)
Kind Regards
Paul

You just said your phone doesn't allow unlocking, unfortunately it won't happen. No way around it

so let me get this straight? what is the point in requesting a unlocked bootloader off the sony website if the phone can never be unlocked?
i thought all phones can be unlocked. i am slightly confused?

The first check is to check whether or not the bootloader can be unlocked, if your phone says no, then sadly you can't - you should stop at this moment.
All phones can probably have a generated key to unlock the bootloader, but doesn't mean it will work.

It's look like this
You have unlocked your bootloader (Even though you say you haven't) that's why pccompanion wont work
Flash the relock ftf for your phone then repair using pccompanion. (Find the FTF file here)
Or find the correct ftf for your phone and flash it in flashtool.
PS (Can you tell me the link for the ftf you tried to flash, this problem normally happens when people flash a T ftf on a TX or vice versa)

I don't know when do I unlocked my bootloader= =..
but I have download the relock ftf ,

thanks you
You unlocked your bootloader when you went to the sony website and followed the instructions on how to unlock our bootloader.
Unless, you got the phone second hand then you must have done it, because they are not sold with unlocked bootloaders.
Let me know if it works when you have repaired with pccompanion

I suggest you redownload a TX FTF (Find one in the all in one thread) and flash it again in flashtool making sure you wipe everything.

This is not a hardware problem and you have not flashed a "patch"
Find a TX FTF from the all in one thread and flash it. Make sure you exclude nothing and wipe everything.
Plus going to service centre is no good because you have voided your warrenty by unlocking the bootloader.

Thanks for your patient =)
Hope this time can resolve.
p.s If I unlock again they will know I have been unlocked my [email protected]@?
That should be fine,.
They know you have unlocked because
1) You gave them your IMEI number when you unlocked.
2) You have lost your DRM keys.
3) You have altered your TA partition.
Relocking your bootloader does not fix any of these things

I ran into the same problem before. Before doing anything else, you have to unlock bootloader again. This shouldn't waste you any time as you have unlocked before

man, did u get any answer after this ?
I'm exactly in your same ****.
thx
Hey man I did the same thing and what I did was restarted my phone on fastboot mode and used the xiaomi tool again to unlock it again and it worked, since you already have waited de 300 + hours for the authorization, you can do it as many times as you want. Once the phone reboot it will start as normal andnit will ask you to enter the account you user to unlock it and that's it.
bricked mi8 please help
hei, here is my situation ... i ve bought a mi8 china version (i didn't know) and i-ve briked my phone flasing a global rom . The boot loader is locked and my phone goes stright into recovery mode. What should I do to resurect my phone? Is there any chance to help me with an unlock? can someone log to my computer via teamviewer just to hit unlock with a authorised account? please msg me on watsap +40766267128. Thankyou verry much and I apreciate!
This won't help much but hopefully it will help someone: DO NOT LOCK bootloader if phone is china version and you installed global rom.
I purchased my Xiaomi Mi 8 from Dubai (Awok.com with 1 week warranty) in Sept 2018 and used it only for few weeks. one night when the phone was charging, the next day morning I found the phone was in the reboot status with the "MI" logo in black background and not doing anything further, I tried to turn off and on and still the same status. Now not even the "MI" logo and when I charge I don't see any screen status, I believe the phone is dead or bricked.
For your information, my phone is a Chinese version and not a Global version!
Any help is highly appreciated as I don't have budget to buy another phone

I did the procedure and unlock the botloader, but I do not know what to do to install the custom recovery, I try through fastboot mode by turning off the phone and connecting it with volume - but it is not recognized when I write ADB devices :c, I do not know if it matters but I have the latest version of emui.
Pd: this method is easier and faster than with DC unlocker, just know how to uncover the phone without damaging anything.

Sorry, but the operation only worked on one device (single sim). With the other (same model of smartphone but dual sim), once the procedure is completed, the error "Your Device Has Failed Verification And May Not Work Properly" appears. The phone gets stuck on that screen! If I repeat the procedure by checking the item "Disable FBLOCK" it works but the bootloader remains unlocked. I also tried flashing the bootloader for Kirin659 (A) and Kirin659 (B) but nothing.
How can I solve?
Good news, I solved it by downloading and installing a rom in eRecovery mode!!!! Now the bootloader is also locked in the other smartphone!
Doing this process can I change the ROM FIG-LX3 to FIG-LX1?

Unlock the bootloader
Have you tried formatting data on that locked state to maybe fix that device verification? I don't know if it works but you can use the OTA update rename trick to I guess switch region on locked bootloader. I don't know if it works because I personally haven't tested it. It works in downgrading though.

Don't. Bad idea. Never downgrade by changing and renaming the zip file after verification in updater app WHILE still being locked. Chances are you might brick your phone.
If you have unlocked before, try to run "fastboot oem unlock" in fastboot mode to unlock it again. You should be able to unlock it without needing Mi Account.

Not working
Alright that didn't work as expected. I noticed mi unlock flashed unlock.bin to the unlock partition at first time unlocking bl, so I assume that partition would still be intact even you have relocked it.
Try to unlock it using mi unlock and your account which use to unlock, no need to bind the mi account again since it won't work anyway.

That's just flashing the unlock token, after that you need to run the actual unlock command in fastboot. It's either:
fastboot oem unlock
or
fastboot flashing unlock
Can't remember which one it was, it's been awhile since I unlocked mine. But that command has to be run after using the token and it will show the bootloader unlock screen on your phone and the have to select to unlock it using the volume and power keys to confirm after.
