Sony Z1 Fastboot Driver Installing issue?

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.

Lock Huawei P8 Lite Bootloader - not "RELOCKED" - warranty for reparation

This tutorial was done by haky 86, I just made a small adaptation for dual SIM.
All credits go to haky 86, thanking any corrections.
How to lock the own bootloader Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L21 before sent to warranty for reparation?
Well, he found a way for this enigma and let's see together what should we do.
Requirements:
- Unlocked bootloader;
- TWRP recovery;
- ALE-L21C432B049 (B052 for dual SIM);
- ALE-L21C432B595 (B596 for dual SIM);
- ALE-B895 (B896 for dual SIM) (it's the Emui 4.1). Thanks to surdu_petru for uploading.
This rom should be installed and running before "lock the bootloader" so pay attention about the steps I did and what I mean.
Locking Bootloader:
- Do a factory reset by wipe all partition from recovery.
- Reboot to Bootloader.
- Flash via fastboot C432B049 (B052 for dual SIM).
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash cust CUST.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
- Do a factory reset from settings once the device is running and don't worry if you see unlocked bootloader.
- Now extract the UPDATE.APP from C432B595 (B596 for dual SIM), create a dload folder on sdcard and paste that update file inside it.
- Reboot the device by press vol up + vol down together and release them when update process is starting up.
- Now sit and drink something because update process can take some minutes with many automated reboots.
- Run OTA update as latest step.
- Now your bootloader should be "LOCKED" and not "RELOCKED" like the following image, happy locking..

Thanks! Will try that in a few days, when I get my new Mate 10. I don't want to mess up and be without a phone right now

Hi, i have my last days in warranty, after i lock my bootloader how can i brick it to send it to the reparation, hopefully they change my phone to a brand new one, or at least mainboard etc...

I guess you can't brick your phone with locked bootloader. This phone ain't that bad xD

Flashing a wrong boot.img will brick it? I mean old esal 2.2 for emui 4.1...Than if they don't accept it back, i will repair it.

I think you can't flash anything if you don't have unlocked bootloader.

They accepted my phones 2 times with booth unlocked bootloader with twrp, but why you need to brick it again if your bootloader is locked?

I don't think you will ever find a way to do it because whatever you do it will be solved with just reflash firmware. Sorry but you can't get another one that easy especially with locked bootloader

Question Mi 11 No OTA Updates since launch

Hello, I pre-ordered the Mi 11 from my phone carrier (SFR, France) and so I own the phone since launch and there have been no OTA updates.
I'm running MIUI Global 12.0.2.0(RKBEUSF). I can't flash a more recent EU rom because I can't unlock my bootloader. Whenever I go to unlock status and press the button, it says something about it being impossible to verify, no matter what I do. I'm basically stuck with this rom. There are numerous bugs (notably gesture navigation doesn't work at all, the bar at the bottom doesn't do anything, I have to use the 3 buttons instead). Anyone know what to do? Thanks!

Google how to unlock bootloader for mi 11. There is a whole procedure to follow. Hitting the unlock button alone is not working.

but that's like the first part no? If I can't do this then I can't unlock it at all.

I had exactly the same ROM because i had the Mi 11 Cloud White with a fu****g RKBEUSF instead of RKBEUXM... So you can't upgrade in local mode.
You must ask for unlock bootloader, for this you must :
1/ Create a Mi Account
2/ Donwload Xiaomi Unlock available here
3/ Your Phone will be listed "Locked" (Blue) or "Unlocked" (Red), if it's locked, you must click Unlock for asking Unlock ticket, and you must wiat after that 168 hours [1 week]. Don't try to ask before this delay if not waiting delay is resetted.
4/ Before the Unlock you must save / backup all your data (DCIM, Contacts, SMS, etc...) because Unlock Bootloader causiing a full Wipe / Delete Data partition.
5/ After waiting 1 Week (i advise to try to unlock after 1 hour more for be sure), launch again Xiaomi Unlock, click unlock... Unlock process check Xiaomi servers... And it's done !
After that you will finally use Mi Flash Tool here and flash your ROM Global RKBEUXM in fastboot mode. You can found the lastest rom here : venus_eea_global_images_V12.5.2.0.RKBEUXM
You must extract the *.tgz (with a archiver like 7Zip or WinRAR) and put the path in Mi Flash Tool, and here we goooo for approximatively 8/10 minutes

Can i lock my bootloader afterwards to restore OTA updates?

The unlocker is asking me to connect my account on the mi unlock status page on my phone. I tried it (again) and this appeared. Nothing I do changes this. Any ideas?

Did you add the mi account on the phone? This is a good tutorial

I did but after removing it and adding it back, it finally worked. I'll proceed with the unlocking then.

But before I do it, I gotta ask. Does it void my warranty? Can I relock the bootloader afterwards? Can I receive OTA updates? Thanks!

Sure, after passed on EEA your bootloader will be relock. Unlock bootloader (for Xiaomi) do not void warranty.
Personnaly i prefer keep unlock on my 12.5.2 EU for Root.
After be passed on EUXM you will have OTA on your original canal, finish the custom EUSF (SFR)

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.

fastboot oem unlock mode like from cmd? Like (example) fastboot flash recovery?

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.

I did both. That's what I meant by nothing after. My phone stays in fastboot and does not change or ask to unlock.
