What are my opinions with a non-unlockable Z1C? - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I own a "locked" Z1 Compact and I'm just wondering what are my options? the default ROMs for this phone are utter cowpat.
Has anyone come up with a way to force the phone to become unlocked or a trick method of installing another ROM? by unlocked I mean to allow the installation of any ROMs not anything to do with messing with the cellular capabilities.
Thanks for all the past development for my past devices
Thread title fail and I can't fix it lol

Completely wrong section, but do you mean that your phones status is "bootloader unlock allowed: no"? Or have you just not unlocked it?

Yeah, as far as software goes there isn't anything you can do about that. Your only option is to speak to whoever sold you the phone and ask for an unlockable one if they have them, or just buy an unlockable one from somewhere else.

Thank you for the snappy response, guess I'll sell this phone and see if I can get my hands on a unlockable one. or hopefully find someone who'd be willing to trade

[Q] WHich ROM CAN I INSTALL ON MY ARC

im from costa rica and my carrier is claro i have locked bootloader
and i check in service info, config and say bootloader unlock allowed and say no
because of this i cannot do the test point, but i install clockwork mod from
SE_Extreme_Tweak_Installer_1.8 my question is which rom can be safely instaled by this method i read roms whith stock kernel please someone give a list of rom can be safely installed whit this CWM THANKS A LOT
@efraincc24
You need to unlock your bootloader first before you install some Custom ROM ,only themes and tweeks can install in CWM recovery
And I believe any Arc can be unlocked with test point - my Japanese Arc was an early release one which wouldn't allow me to unlock the official SE way.
But with test point I unlocked with no trouble.

If you guys have the BOOTLOADER UNLOCK NO like I do. You need to get it UNLOCKED via the TEST POINT method.
It requires a bit of time and playing around OR follow the suggestion on contacting Jinx13. He will guide you thought the process and obviously for a small fee.
Jinx13 did mine for me and he was awesome!

I know how to do it with Omnius. I paid for a license and it costed me 15.80€, but it doesn't work with my Arc S (only Arc, I have to read before buying xD). If you want I'll tell you how to do it and I'll let you my account.
Thanks

AOSP?

Just wondering if there will be aosp roms for the g3 soon. I assume there will be be at some point. I am sure cm is working on something for our phone. Don't know if this has already been discussed so please forgive me if it has and mods its okay to delete this thread if need be.
Until the bootloader is unlocked, and we have a proper recovery, it won't matter really anyway, I mean I hope they are, that way whenever those things do happen, we can just flash and go

It has been. A lot. Next time, search.
This is a question. It belongs in Q&A NOT Dev. Read rules again.

After 93 posts, the OP should know better than to post this dribbling nonsense in a development sub-forum.
Mods, please kill this with fire!

Someone is working on it. Stuck at loop right now. His be released for the T-Mobile version. Check in the G3 General section for more info.
i hope for good works
Basically, only realistic for the T-Mobile G3 atm until there is an exploit discovered to access/unlock the bootloader. Even the G2 bootloader has never been unlocked I was told but they found some exploit fortunately.
I've been waiting for unlock too. Seems like we're not getting any AOSP based ROM until bootloader unlocked. I know T-Mobile G3 has unlocked bootloader.
for international version ?

Many people have reported that requesting a new token and sometimes using a different browser has worked for them. There are a few threads about this if you search the Q&A section.
Here are some threads with people experiencing the same issue. Hopefully one of the solutions will work for you.

Samsung A3 2016 bootloader unlockable?

I wanted to root my phone a few days ago and I knew I had to unlock my bootloader, so I decided to search up how. Some people said that there is an "official" way to unlock the bootloader, but I didn't find "an official way" for my phone. Some people said that Samsung phones already have an unlocked bootloader, I don't know if this is true. In some tutorials I needed to use fastboot mode (I think Samsung phones don't have that).
I just want to know if my phone's bootloader can even be unlocked (or doesn't need to be unlocked, idk). If it can be unlocked I would really like to know how as well.
Enable developer settings, go to dev settings and enable oem unlock. You can now flash custom recovery etc, but be aware that flashing custom stuff will get knox tripped.

Ok, so I don't want to be a noob or anything, but I have another question.
What is Knox exactly? I know it's supposed to protect your phone from certain things, and I assume doing things like flashing a custom ROM or something might affect it somehow, but just plainly rooting your phone won't actually do anything right?
Btw I'm using CF auto root to root my phone,just so you know.
There is no "OEM unlock" or anything like that in my "Developer Options"

My device manufacturer is from South Korea, maybe that's why. My friend's device has that option in his developer options in his Samsung A3 phone. But he bought the phone in Indonesia. I will update tomorrow with screen shot, since the device currently is in my office.
