Bootloader Status - Sony Xperia M

I am interested if my bootloader is unlocked
At service menu it says
Bootloader Unlock:yes
Does that mean it is unlocked or just that I can't unlock it?

If it shows yes, then only u can able to unlock bootloader...
If it no, then you won't unlock your bootloader forever....

Yea I know that xD
I am just asking you is it unlocked because it only says
Bootloader Unlock:yes
(Actual quote from service info)
Does this mean it is unlocked?
I bootlooped when unlocking and then reflashed ftf and nothing else
I do have a backup (to lock if needed) but it is on a previous 4.3 firmware...
Help would be appreciated

Yes, your bootloader is ulocked. Bootloop after unlocking is something normal because data partition is wiped.

Is it safe to lock it with partition of the previous 4.3 firmware?
It is unlocked for a 100%?
(Or just flash cm11 :3)

your bootloader is already unlocked, flashing ftf won't change anything until you flash the relock file, and there's no half unlock

Will the relock thing work from the previous 4.3 firmware?

This can happen if you have an SD card that has rooting tools from an older device in it. Try taking your card out, or wiping it.
still not working
I have tried not working

Install an app from that requires root, if the app requests root and you press allow and the app works you`re rooted. What recovery do you have, samsung or CWM?
Phones don`t modify themselves, people modify phones
@jalu147 Samsung bootloaders are always unlocked, unlike HTC.

Reset the binary flash counter with Triangle Away and flash the stock rom rom with Odin, after that do a data/factory reset and after the reboot your status should say Normal again.

It can be also that the country code does not match your Samsung account region. I had once same when flashing other countries ROM.

N7100 Software Modified
Yes, I am having the same issue, the N7100 is showing that the software has been modified, but it is a stock ROM with no flash. It is from another country though since N7100 is not sold generic in US. Any advice on how to get around it and update?

You don't need a computer to get root, it's not a requirement.
You need to download an app from the play store called Mobile Odin, with that you
can odin flash the required file to get root as well as flash the required cwm zip file
which is required to get root in the galaxy S4.
Thank you.

Yes, i'm pretty sure you're gonna need a computer to root. I don't even think mobile odin is compatible with our phone yet. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.
The other guy is high, you need to be rooted to use mobile Odin, there is no way of rooting this phone without a computer, sucks I know.

Tester needed

Anybody willing to try a flashable zip file on locked bootloader using flash gordon app? It's a stock kernel using andro-SYR method of flashing kernel via recovery but on locked bootloader I'm a little reluctant at the minute as this is my only device. I need someone with more confidence than me and not afraid to reflash stock firmware if it fails also I don't know if it would be possible to do it with the system running. Pm me if you want to try for me or any info you have that might be really helpful. I know your meant to have unlocked bootloader for custom kernels but testing is required

Bro I flashed it and during the flashing no system apps or nothing crashed and I was like its going to work and it said reboot required so I rebooted the phone but powered off but didn't power back on so I took the battery out and tried to power it on it just vibrates but doesn't power on.I guess its bricked or half-bricked. I'm flashing stock firmware again.
UPDATE:it's not bricked after flashing firmware again it turns on:good:
After testing the result is this doesn't work.
Thanks for trying mate just a shame it didn't boot maybe needs tweaking or something

Mate I'm going to flash the boot.img via Flash tool and I will let you know the results
UPDATE: Mate I tried to flash the boot.img via Flash tool & ADB but I get error's.

When I try to flash it via Flash tool:
I really doubt it will ever work with Flash Gordon.... It already bricked my device twice so I wouldn't rely on it to flash something like a kernel and the dev said it won't work for roms.

[Q] I can't go back to touchwiz

OK I'm trying to go back since in returning the phone back to sprint and it won't let me on twrp when I try to install it it just says fail!

If you're taking it back to sprint why not just use Odin

They're gonna see that it's rooted if you're taking it in for fixing, but TWRP is known to have problems with non-AOSP ROMs... That's the main reason I don't use it.

Currently there is no way to root with locked bootloader. You need recovery to root at the moment and the only way to get one is to flash a kernel with recovery embedded in it, which requires an unlocked bootloader.

I'm on mobile currently so I could not see that. But that shouldn't be possible, all exploits (what we know of) are patched on 4.3 so the only way to get root would be to push files through recovery, requiring an unlocked bootloader currently.
I asked doomlord yesterday about if there were any exploits or tools and he said "No exploit currently works".
