problems unlocking the boot loader of xperia z3

[gabb]

Hello,

i'm trying to unlock the boot loader of my xperia z3, i'm following the instructions on sony's site but i'm stuck: i connect the phone to the pc in fastboot mode (blue light on), then i open the command prompt window in the platform-tools folder of android sdk, but when i type fastboot devices nothing happens. If i try to enter my unlock code i get "waiting for device" forever. 

Any help?

Are you aware of the consequences of unlocking the bootloader?

I recommend that you check that you have installed the fastboot driver. You can download it from here: http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/fastboot-driver/

And as uliwooly says, make sure that you have read the information on http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/ and that you are aware of the risks.

i have read all the documents you indicate and i am aware of the consequences.

I have downloaded the driver file you linked and replaced with the file located in the usb_driver folder as instructed in sony's site procedure to unlock the boot loader. I have followed all the steps reported there, until the point i got stuck.

Hi. I need to unlock network on my phone. I have my code from Vodafone. But it's not working. I can't insert it anymore. And also i can't unlock bootloader too.

Rooting status:

Bootloader unlock allowed: No

But i'm going abroad and i need my phone there. What i have to do? How i can unlock my phone?

@maksimkhodar You do not need to unlock the boot loader to do what you want.You need to recontact Vodafone if the code they gave you did not work to unlock the phone from the Vodafone network.
