Your bootloader needs to be unlocked. Is it?
If not - How to unlock the bootloader.

Are you 100% sure it actually unlocked? That error usually occurs when the bootloader is locked.
You can check by using the service menu in a stock rom.
Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialler then look in Service info -> Configuration. It will say "Bootloader unlocked: Yes" if it's unlocked. If it says "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes", then it's still locked.

Hi
If you bought your XZ from Handtec, would you check whether you have unlockable bootloader for me?
Thanks in advance!
You can check it by doing this:
First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. 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.
Please tell me whether it says yes or no. Thanks so much!

Just checked mine, which was bought from handtec yesterday, rooting status says bootlocker unlocking allowed: yes
Guess that's good news!

I brought mine from a network provider (three uk), that is not allow to unlock bootloader.
I think once I unlock the sim card lock, it will allow me to unlock the bootloader.
hi,all,im trying to unlock BL by flashtool beta6,but its say No loader found for this device
OS;4.2.2 ,423,HK
It says underneath it "cannot be officially unlocked"
So my guess is your bootloader is permanently locked. Type *#*#service#*#* and go to service info then configuration. It should say "bootloader unlock allowed:" yes if you are able to unlock it.

Use Google. A simple query like "how to unlock xperia z bootloader" would probably do it. But since that is such a far-fetched idea I understand how it could have slipped your mind...

Either try the latest flashtool and do it again or search for doomlord's post on how to unlock bootloader.
But before trying, I would highly recommend backing up your TA.img

Why are you using Flashtools Beta 6? That version has been superseded by the latest release on the flashtool site....
Go read Doomlord's post on unlocking the boot loader (which is the official Sony method)- you can do it quick and easy with fastboot......
As has already been said....read the post in Original Development about backing up your TA (DRM & BE) partition BEFORE you unlock your bootloader.

Guys need your help about this matter, I just bought my xperia z1 a week ago and i already rooted it... So my question is can i still back up my TA? I did not tamper my bootloader..how will i know if my bootloader is unlocked?
My process in rooting my xperia z1 is:
1st I downgrade my xperia z1 in 14.1.G.1.534 firmware and rooted it using vroot then upgrade it to the latest firmware which is 14.1.G.2.257... BTW I uninstall the vroot superuser because it's in chinese language and I can't understand it, but I replaced it Superuser in playstore and it works fine!...Thanks~

unless u visited the bootloader unlock website and requested for a key which involved keying in your imei number and then using fastboot to unlock bootloader, it's fine...
u can verify by checking if bravie engine works... or dial *#*#7378423#*#* and going to service info > config > rooting status

No, it means you are allowed to unlock it, but you have not done it yet otherwise it would say
bootloader unlocked: yes

trust me, you cannot accidentally unlock it...
Hahaha chewdaniel says to look at sevices menu if it's unlocked and i saw the word "yes" i thought i accidentally unlock it when performing to root it..i feel nervous when i saw it haha!
sent from future!
1. visit bootloader unlock website
2. key in your imei number
3. receive an email with unlock code
4. FINDING & INSTALLING FASTBOOT DRIVERS, while phone is in Fastboot state
5. entering bootloader unlock command with a very long and complicated unlock code
so yea... like Greg said... there's no way u can "accidentally unlock" it
okay so i just recently unlocked my phones sim , from fido
i bought a code online from cellunlocker.net
it shows that i dont have a sim lock, yet in my service menu it still shows "bootloader unlock allowed : no"
isnt it supposed to say bootloader unlock allowed : yes now? or is it supposed to be like this?
Bootloader and sim unlock are different things just by unlocking one of them, doesn't mean the other will be unlocked.
By unlocking sim it just means you can use another carriers sim.
Bootloader is kernel related, unlocking will allow the use of custom kernels which means custom ROMs.

Bootloader is bootloader related. By unlocking the bootloader you can indeed install custom kernels.

Guyz I thank you for replying
But I do know this already
I am not asking y the bootloader is not unlocked
I am asking shud my service menu still say that my bootloader is not unlockable? From what I know, unlocking the sim shud make the bootloader unlockABLE (not unlocked)

Like zolaisugly says, there is no connection between sim lock and bootlocker. A sim lock is a sim lock and the bootlocker is a bootlocker.
I also think if you read this thread this question has already been asked and answered. So, it is normal that your phone still says "Bootlocker unlcok allowed: no". It is impossoble to unlock your bootlocker (for now).
hey !
i have (think) unlocked my bootloader. is there a way (without to flash anything) to see, that my bootloader is unlocked?

Open the dialer and press this *#*#7378423#*#* to open the service menu
then go to service info, then configuration
Then if under rooting status it is written bootloader unlocked : yes , that means your bootloader is unlocked
thanks but it only says that it is allowed to unlock the bootloader. but i want to see that i have sucsessfully unlocked my bootloader.

if it says it is allowed to unlock bootloader that means it has not been unlocked you still have to unlock it
