[COLOR="Red"] Disadvantages of unlocking bootloader? ( Doesn't matter if you have backed up your TA)
>> You may void your warranty.
>> You may loose some proprietary vendor software such as Bravia Engine, Download Music info etc. due to removal of DRM security keys.
>> OTA updater may refuse to update your device and pop up a 'Device's software modified' message.[/COLOR]
>> I and XDA will not be held responsible for the damage you may do to your phone.
>> So lets get started :
>> First of all download flashtool from : Search it / Google it
>>Then, Install it.
>> After that run your flashtool.
>> Then, If you want to unlock your bootloader then proceed with following steps :
>> Check unlocked bootloader :

>> "Bootloader unlock not allowed" - You cannot unlock your bootloader.
>> Search for Unlock bootloader Sony [Official site]
>> Then follow the instructions and receive unlock code.
>> Then go to flashtool and click BLU button
Then, Power off your phone.
>> After that connect you phone via usb simultaneously press volume down button
>> No indicator will glow
>> You have successfully connected your phone via Flashmode.
>> Flashtool put your unlock code.
>>> Woah!!! You Bootloader is Unlocked :laugh:

>> Then Press Relock [Hope you are in stock room and on stock kernel or else u will get bootloop.]
Note : I am also going to post a tut on how to flash stock rom via Flashtool.[With Stock Rom link Stock ROM XDA Thread added if you want]
Q. How to flash Stock Rom via Flash tool its easy just follow these steps :
♠ Power off your phone [Keep it in power off mode [Till you setup the flash tool.] After setting up Press Vol Down Button simultaneously connect it via USB to PC it will get into flash mode [Drivers must be installed forehand or else computer may not recognize it ]
♠ Then go to your flash tool folder[Where you installed the flash tool.]
♠ Copy the C2105_15.0.A.1.31_CE.ftf to [Flash tool folder] firmware folder for example : [C:\Flashtool\firmwares ]
♠ Then, start your flash tool
♠ Press the flash button, Select flash mode
♠ Select the firmware & Leave all the settings as it is i.e. wipe data and cache selected, Select No final verification[I selected it, i don't know whats the use of it can anybody tell me ?? ] [After searching google i got this answer : It will check whether any error occurred during flashing, i had disabled it when flashing stock rom on my phone. so idont know what happens when we keep it unchecked.]
♠ The flash tool will setup files and start flashing, Don't touch your phone or press any button.
♠ Hurray you have successfully recovered your phone back to stock state. :highfive: :fingers-crossed:

flash stock rom using flashtool
I had the same problem.
After unlocking the bl (official way) I had a bootloop. I flashed the. 31 FTf from this forum. I was still having the bootloop.
After that, I relocked the bootloader with Flashtool. This helped me. The phone booted without the loop.
After unlocking the bl again (with Flashtool) everything was fine and I flashed vengeance kernel.

stuck in boot loop after unlocking bootloader
Hi All,
I tried unlocking the boot loader with the officially mentioned fastboot method and have ended up in a bootloop while starting the phone.
As mentioned in this thread, I am trying to flash the stock ROM C2105_15.0.A.1.31_CE.ftf onto my phone. However, I am getting an error message "No available services matched the connected device" on the EMMA tool. I tried the following:
1. Tried putting the file C2105_15.0.A.1.31_CE.ftf in C:\Program Files\Sony Mobile\Emma\firmwares folder, but EMMA doesn't recognise this.
2. Tried putting the file in C:\Flashtool\firmwares, still EMMA doesn't recognise this and shows "No available services matched the connected device".
I have attached the screenshot of the error message herewith.
Please let me know how I can resolve this issue.
Thanks.

[Q] Unlocking bootloader with a Mac...
thanks for the post. ive been reading hundreds of pages here in preparation to root my phone (XPERIA E/c1504.) i know that unlocking the bootloader is step one, so your guide is pretty helpful, but i'm on a mac! does this change any part of the process?
3)- download ADBDRIVER and install adb drivers installer on pc,open it and connect your phone to pc and install the adb drivers.
4)- download flashtool ANDROXYDE and install on pc.
i know i can get androxyde for mac, but is there a mac version of the adbdriver program?
7)- go here SONYMOBILE .
fill your details and then check your email inbox for bootloader key.
if you contact sony for the bootloader key, unlock, then lock back if you have to return it to them for warranty issues, etc., won't they know since you had to get the key from them?
thanks for your help! im a definite beginner but learning a lot from this site!
The latest Flashtool (v0.9.11.0) has "BLU" menu to make Lock/Unlock bootloader more easier.
the simple step :
1. Set up Flashtool to be ready for your device.
2. Refer to the SONY link provided in OP, and get your bootloader key
3. Connect your phone to Flashtool.
4. Click the "BLU" and follow the step.
hope that work for Xperia E,.

okay your next question is quite good. first when I unlocked my bootloader and faced bootloop. I got my phone a Sony service centre. the guy there took my phone on warranty and tried to reinstall software through sus (works only on locked bootloader). then when he was unsuccessful he told me software modified and I got my phone back
so I don't think you will have any issue with warranty.
you can get any Xperia phone's bootloader key in your inbox just by knowing its imei.
so no issues at all.
P.S : rooting can also be done on a locked Xperia e

A day before I made a tutorial on how to install Android Lollipop 5.0 on Motorola Moto G XT1033. With that installing now many of have asked me How to root their device as they have already Unlocked the Bootloader & wanna have root access on their device as they have already lost their warrant and nothing to loose.
No in today's tutorial I will show you how to root your Moto G in simple steps.
Prerequisites:
NOTE: THIS TUTORIAL IS FOR PEOPLE WITH UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER ONLY
1) Ensure your battery is charged to above 60% this will avoid a dead battery from corrupting the process.
2) XT1033 Lollipop Root Kit by ChainFire : DOWNLOAD
3) Minimal ADB & Fastboot Drivers : DOWNLOAD
4) A Little bit of time.
Booting Your Device to Fastboot mode
If you know how to get into fastboot mode then you can skip this part of tutorial & head directly to the next step.
1) Turn of your mobile phone
2) Now hold ' Volume Down + Power ' for 3 to 4seconds which will boot into the bootloader.
Voila! you've just booted into fastboot mode.
Checking whether XT1033 is detected in fastboot mode
Will bringing up the bootloader on your device its time for us to check whether your device is detected by the computer in fastboot mode. Now for following this step you must download the Minimal ADB & Fastboot Drivers from the link provided in the Prerequisites section & install it with default location on your computer
1) Connect your device & Open the ' Minimal ADB & Fastboot ' from the new shortcut thats made on the desktop, If you are not able to find it then navigate to C:\Program Files (or) Program Files(x86) \Minimal ADB and Fastboot\ and open " py_cmd.exe "
2) Now type the below code
fastboot devices
If it results something that is familiar to the below image then you're good to proceed if not the make sure you followed all the steps correctly, if you still doesnt get it correct then leave a comment I'll be very happy to help you.
Rooting Moto G XT1033
Proceed with this step only if everything stated in the above steps has come out correctly.
1) Unzip the ' CF-Auto-Root-xxx-xxx-xxx.zip ' file to a separate folder on your computer.
2) Run the " root-windows.bat " file & press the space bar.
3) Wait for a while for the process to finish & your device will reboot.
Voila! you have successfully rooted your device. Check for " Super SU " app in your app drawer.

i've rooted with the CM12 method and it works like charm. so i think this complicated process isn't needed.
Thanks for your guide
I don't think CF-Auto-Root is required now.. Though we can get the job done
To summarize the rooting process
Here is the 3 easy steps
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Install custom recovery
3. Install SuperSU
Can you provide the link of custom recovery.?

Sent from my Moto G using XDA Free mobile app
I wonder, after flashing a custom recovery.. how to get back the stock (perhaps lollipop recovery) for the future OTA updates? Can we flash the 4.4.4 recovery over it?
Just after flashing stock BR 4.4.4 then 5.0 OTA update to my XT1032 Moto G (bought in UK)
Followed this guide and it's rooted
thanks.

this is a modded version & the official TWRP never worked for me
by the way did you by any chance relock the bootloader ?
Note : - I am not responsible for any brick cause to your device. Do it with your own risk
Stop worrying about Unlocking your device mates............
Download KingRoot v4.1.0 and install it to your mobile
Using the app root it (I am 100% sure this will Root and my friend is using it)
Once the Root got completed then download this:- Click here
Extract the file and copy the mrw folder to the root of your internal storage.
Download Terminal Emulator for Android from PlayStore :- Click here
Open the Terminal app in your mobile ,
write the command in terminal ( you can also try using adb tool from pc and the same processor)
Code:
su
Allow Root Access in your mobile.
Now run the command -
Code:
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
The SuperSu app will launch automatically , it will ask to update binary , click on CONTINUE , then Select NORMAL method. After the Binary is installed it will ask to reboot your device.

My friend was playing with the device with xposed framework and modules

Unlocking & Backup Drm keys
Quick tutorial for unlocking & relocking the bootloader of the Xperia E3
this is the official way to unlock bootloader
WARNING!
MAKE TA BACKUP BEFORE UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER!
if you want to backup the TA or keep yor DRM keys,first root the device and then check this out
Warning!
This procedure will wipe the /data partition of your phone, so you will loose all your stored data, settings. SDCARD will BE WIPED!!!
DRM keys WILL be lost forever (If you dont have backup )
older Xperia devices sometimes got issues after unlock of bootloader (BRICK after FOTA update) - you have been warned
why to unlock bootloader?
u can flash custom ROMs/Kernels
u dont need to worry if the new firmware can be rooted or not as with unlocked bootloader u can always ROOT ur device
Sony gives sneak-peaks/preview builds of latest OS which requires unlocked bootloaders, as they did with Xperia 2011/2012 line, so who knows may be Sony may give early builds of next android OS
Most of this is taken from lollylost100's And DoomLoRD for their tutorial threads
[ before we begin unlocking bootloader ]
get the IMEI code for ur device: type *#06# in phone dialer to find it out, note only the digits (no dashes)
download the fastboot package
IMPORTANT: if you are using Windows 8 you will need to enable few things to allow driver installation
download the latest FlashTool Xperia Driver Pack and install fastboot drivers (common) & adb drivers for this device from the list!
make sure u have a windows PC with USB cable to connect the phone
power down ur phone and keeping the Volume Up button pressed connect the USB cable to PC this will trigger FASTBOOT mode and windows will start driver installation, which should be automatically done
once drivers are installed just disconnect cable and power on device
[ how to unlock ] (official way)
Go to: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and read everything!
At the bottom click 'Start Unlocking the Bootloader'
after u have verified that u can unlock bootloader, scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Continue"
you will get numerous prompts, read all info and if u agree click on "Accept"/"OK"/"Proceed"
finally u will get a "Create Unlock request" page, enter your IMEI (sometimes the last digit needs to be removed for this to work), name and email address
You should now receive your unique unlock key via EMAIL, SAVE THIS KEY SAFELY
Extract fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.rar and open fastboot folder
Hold SHIFT and right click on the background of the folder
Select 'Open command window here'
Connect your phone in fastboot mode (turn phone off, hold Volume UP button and plug in USB Cable) [make sure drivers are installed as explained above)
In the cmd windows type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
If a value is returned (it will return 0.5), it means the phone is correctly connected
Type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY and replace KEY with the key which u received earlier.
You're device should now be bootloader unlocked
Re-locking Click here
Re-locking & Restore Drm Keys Device
With the latest release of Flashtool it is now possible to relock bootloader.
Download the latest flashtool from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Important
DO NOT USE ANY FTF TO RELOCK BOOTLOADER! THOSE OLD FTFs DO NOT WORK FOR THE 2013 DEVICES!!!
before u relock bootloader u have to be on pure stock kernel (flash only the kernel.sin using flashtool), else the device WILL NOT BOOT after relock
Steps:
now start Flashtool and click on BLU button
u will be asked to connect device in flashmode
once u connect the device u will get a prompt to "Relock"
click on it and when prompted disconnect the device
Want to UNLOCK again after relocking? read this!
Using TA-backup/restore You can restore the Drm Keys... but make sure you can only restore the Drm key with Stock Kernel ( Else the device dont boot)
Best regards,
venkat kamesh
Complete Root / with simple guide steps
Ever one are afraid to use the mods just because of unlocking
but there are still many ways to save your DRM keys
Here @vinay wrote what all needed to be done for the root and recovery
Before doing the above Process make sure you have to follow post #1
after that Click here
then after flashing the supersu
follow this post click here
and relock your device from this post click here
and Restore your TA- (DRM keys)
have fun
Recoveries
Guys If you need additional recoveries
I meant
if you need to get back to stock kernel and you would like to have the recoveries
then try this
Instructions
Make sure you are running one of these kernels Click here by @vinay
Download the recoveries Click here
Copy to Sdcard
Flash the recovery zip from the recovery
Now get back to flashboot mode
Then Falsh only kernel from the ftf (using Flastool) of your desired model
Now the NDR utils will support the deive
When you get back to your stock kernel you can Restore Drm Keys (if you have done backup) then everything works great
And Even you will be having working recoveries with locked bootloader
Have fun with recoveries
thanks @[NUT] for the valuable / awesome script/work
thanks @vinay for your custom kernel

To force phone shutdown press and hold "vol+" and power button for 8-9 seconds.
After this, to enter bootloader mode when Flashtool asks for it press "vol-" and plug USB to the computer. When the led is green you can release the button. Be sure to have drivers installed on the computer.

I don't know why you have an error with boot.sin Try to exclude the boot in the flash list to see if it works or download an other firmware (maybe it is corrupted when you downloaded it)

Hurray!!! finally i have got my mobile back to life.
i just flash my device without wipe sin, and it works. thank you so much for being with my success...:highfive:
now my device is starting up showing xperia logo and loading
do you know how long it will take to boot up.
After 6 months from launch date, we finally got bootloader unlock permission on March 2nd 2020 for Realme C12 initially based on Realme UI 1.0. Later Realme gave permission for UI 2.0 too.
Before doing anything to device, keep a copy of Stock ROM from here in your PC or SD Card.
Unlocking bootloader will trip safetynet. If you want to use bank apps or some apps that use SafetyNet, then you have to pass SafetyNet. To pass it we have to use a Magisk module called 'Universal SafetyNet fix' Or use a custom rom or GSI that uses it if you dont want Magisk.
Also locking bootloader seems to lead 'Red State' in many devices. This can only be solved by going to Service Center. So be prepared for it. To get rid of it flash stock rom once even if you didn't done any modifications.
Prerequisites:-- A PC
- USB Cable(We can use charger cable)
- Platform-tools
- Patience
Step 0 - Great! You're ready to go. Make sure to backup your phone's data before continuing on with this tutorial, as unlocking will make it factory reset (wipe)!
Step 1 - Download and Open In Depth Tool from below
For UI 1.0 https://download.c.realme.com/flash/Unlock_tool/DeepTest_realmeC12.apk
For UI 2.0 https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1526491339024314368

}
Step 2 - Click “Start applying”.
Step 3 - Please read the disclaimer in detail, select the checkbox, and submit your application
Step 4 - The Application Will be checked by realme Servers..(Wait 10 mins)
Step 5 - Go back. Remove app from Recent apps. Open the app and click on Query verification status which is at top right
Step 6 - You can now click “Start the in-depth test” and the device will reboot to fastboot mode automatically. The following string will display on the screen: fast boot_unlock_verify ok
Step 7 - Now Download and install the fastboot tool on your PC and Connect the device to PC using USB cable and ready to unlock it.
Step 8 - Now you are in Fastboot Mode. Type this command
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
in command prompt of PC and Press enter.
Step 9 - On your phone press the Volume Down key to select "UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER” (or press the Volume Up key if you have changed your mind to select "DO NOT UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER”).
Step 10 - Now type
Code:
fastboot reboot
. Your phone will reboot and all user data on the phone will be erased - I recommend you perform a data backup prior to applying.
And there you go! Your phone will reboot and you can set it all up again. with the ability to root and you can also install GSIs/custom ROMs/recovery!
After unlocking, flash stock rom once from stock recovery to fix some 'Red state' issue and fastboot errors that may lead to GSI booting issues. See this for flashing stock rom. With this you will also get a idea of flashing stock rom.
Q: Will unlocking my bootloader void my warranty?
A: No, it will not. Unless you brick your device.

Q: I am getting carrier-customized phone?
A: See this
Relock your bootloader
Locking bootloader without flashing stock rom again may lead to 'Red State'(can only be fixed by flashing stock rom with PC). So before locking bootloader, flash stock rom in stock recovery and boot to stock rom once.
Tutorial:
Step 0 - Flash stock ROM in stock recovery.(Don't skip this step even if you haven't done any modification)
Step 1 - Download the unlock tool again to apply to exit the in-depth test.
Step 2 - Click “Apply to exit in-depth test”. You should manual operation enter the Fastboot mode(Press both the Volume down button and the Power button when power is off).
Step 3 - In the Fastboot mode, use the engineering command below on your PC to re-lock the bootloader.
- Enter the command: fastboot flashing lockStep 4 - Press the Volume Down button to select the “Lock bootloader” option (or press the Volume Up button to select “Do not lock bootloader" and keep it unlocked).
Step 5 - Then enter command fastboot reboot. The phone will reboot. All user data on the phone will be erased - we recommend you perform a data backup prior to applying.

We have both TWRP and custom ROMs too. But they are in C11 forums. All C11 things can be used in C12 and C15(MTK) too. So have a look at https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/realme-c11-roms-kernels-recoveries-other-deve.10991/
Also join us at Telegram by searching 'Realme C12'.

I guess, there is no support for UI2 yet.
So wait for it or downgrade
Thanks
I have two questions
1. I have a Realme c12 device (Realme UI 1.0), it's device model is RMX2189 but the link you provided has only RMX2185 version. Can I flash that stock rom in my phone?
2. I am from Bangladesh, which region version should I flash? (Egypt, Combodia, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Vietnam)

For first question, you can install RMX2185 version. Since C11, C12 and C15 use RMX2185 for stock rom ozips.
For second question, I am not sure what to do with your region.
Thanks

Thanks a lot. I am facing some problems while trying to unlock bootloader. (Forgive me, I am a noob )
I have successfully installed platform-tools, granted usb debugging permission and rebooted my phone to fastboot mode from depth tool. It's showing "fast boot_unlock_verify ok".
Now if I enter the command "fastboot flashing unlock" in command prompt window, it's showing this message: "waiting for device" and nothing is happening afterwards... Am I missing any drivers? (My cable is ok)
@Shawmik
Yeah you are doing right.
But seems like drivers are not installed.
See the questions in bottom of my guide to get solution.

I don't know why I am facing these weird issues, sorry for bothering you...
I have installed the driver you mentioned in the questions section, now if I connect my phone while in fastboot mode, my PC detects it but if I give the command "fastboot flashing unlock", the command prompt still shows "Waiting for device"...
And I tried going to device manager and manually update my device drivers (as you guided), still the same
