Hey guys, I really hope someone can help me here, very very badly; I want to undo all the locking I did to my XA1 Ultra. I'm new to all this and don't know what I'm doing but I really need some help with this.
Where would I get the correct firmware, and what would I use to relock it?
Don't go solely on my word but last time I basically used the same lock command just saying relock bootloader vs oem unlock. You may need to use the code that Sony gave you.

Hi guys...so i updated my phone to 2.3.4 then rooted it with the zergrush method.Now i'm trying to unlock my bootloader so that i can flash cyanogen mod.I followed all instructions from the cyanogen site but i'm getting this error...
(bootloader) Unlock phone requested
FAILED (remote: oem unlock failed!)
finished. total time: 0.000s
Does anyone know what this error means.
Are you 100% sure you can unlock yours? If you're sim locked then no you can't.

I'm not sim locked and i followed the instructions to the t from start to finish.I even got the unlock key twice to check if that was wrong but both keys were the same.
I did the unlock bootloader check and it confirmed i can unlock it.
All drivers installed and can connect in fastboot mode ie blue light.
Getvar command was good ie 0.3
But i still get that error.
You typing in the unlock key correctly? Not getting the O/0s confused?

Yeah there's no 0's or O's.No but if it wasn't factory unlocked would that cause this problem.
In cases like that I think you may have to pay some dude to get it unlocked. Try giving these forums a search. There's a link to the guy who does them someplace on here.

I might have to look into that...thanks for the help.Nice name by the way .
One more ? if i flash cwm without unlocking my bootloader would i still be able to flash custom roms.
As long as the custom rom runs on the stock kernel I think so. I've yet to try the Darkforest one. I couldn't get it to work when I was on stock kernel with a locked bootloader. So I wouldn't hold your breath on that one. I can message the results if I manage to get it to flash via CWM. Thanks for the compliment Just putting back in what I take out.
I think that thread for the pay service bootloader unlock was removed for some reason but he has a website now

Is your phone connected to your PC with the latest drivers in fastboot mode.

If your phone doesn't allow boot loader unlock, Your phone is probably network locked. Try unlocking phone from carrier. If it still doesn't allow, try reflashing firmware with Sony pcc

Please use search before you start useless threads. You have found info about CF Auto Root from Chainfire. It will only work with an unlocked bootloader and the US Snapdragon versions of the S8 and S8+ have a locked bootloader. So it will not work. There are several thread about this and a post from Chainfire himself stating on US versions it will not work.
No, CF-Auto requires unlocked bootloader. The only reason files for devices that are locked down is because the site runs automated scripts to generate root files. So it'll work if and once the bootloader is unlocked. But for now, both will not work.
thanks for letting me know
Update on unlocking bootloader?
Wondering if anyone has any information on whether or not there has been any progress on unlocking the bootloader for the US versions of the g955u <snapdragon> yet? I know that the new unlocked versions of the phones came out recently and was wondering if anyone had a crack yet?

I believe those are carrier unlocked; NOT Boot Loader Unlocked.
I had a feeling I was buying the wrong version of S8 plus, is that why OEM is no longer in developer options?

CF-auto or Odin?
Hello sir
I have been trying to unlock bootloader of my mi max(qualcomm indian version) for some time. I already got the permission to unlock bootloader.
But i am not able to unlock it because of drivers problem. my device is not getting detected in MI UNLOCK TOOL although it is being detected in MI FLASH TOOL. What should i do please help me .. i am using the latest tools and latest drivers in my pc. Also i tried installing new windows 10 in both my pc and laptop but the same problem persists.
Thanks in advance..
Were you able to unlock bootloader ??
If yes then flash recovery twrp
Then
Root either using magisk 14.3.zip or supersu 2.82.

Sir, the process given to unlock bootloader on Mi.com or else supporting websites are not working at all.
How can we proceed further if this not happening ?

Wait for 3-4 day after receiving code from xiaomi.
As there servers are updated after 3-4 days. Sometimes may take more than a week..
Unlocking is different and rooting is different. Do not attempt to root without unlocking bootloader.

Lucky you they couldn't permanently unlock my phone because the rep in Maine did a temporary network unlock so I have to pay the phone off first

Call and ask again, tell them your a developer and you need to test applications on your phone. To do this you need an unlocked bootloader. If the Sim unlock is temporary it'll relock your bootloader and potentially wipe your data.

Yeah, had mine for 3 days when they permanently unlocked it. Haven't made a payment yet.
Don't ever let the T-Mobile rep do a temporary network unlock. If your goal is to bootloader unlock. They totally screwed this phone. I will have to pay it off first to get around the temporary network unlock. Or use the tool. But of course there's no tool yet ???

10.0.5 international update released, with nice new improvements that I can't take advantage of. Gotta wait for slow ass T-Mobile to release their version. Maybe they will release it with November security update ?? I doubt it ????

I am pretty sure that you can fastboot flash the ROM when your bootloader is unlocked
yup, but base on my experienced I don't have data and wifi right now, so don't ever try this at home if you don't have a back up phone. Lucky for me I got Sony and my pixel 4XL in hand=)
