I even called Sony Netherlands and they just said No, we cannot help you, Unlocking your bootloader is very dangerous blah blah security blah blah. I am pretty familiar with unlocking bootloaders on different brand phones and installing custom roms.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I am planning to use it in my car so i have no further need for the camera, it needs to have a recent android version with android auto so i can keep it connected in my car for navigation and media purposes.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Most importantly however, is why does the site not work? Is it something that Sony has forbidden or that it's just the website?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>ps: Also Dutch</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Thu, 19 Nov 2020 10:28:19 GMT https://community.sony.ro/t5/z-series/bootloader-unlock-problem-for-my-z3-compact/m-p/3728141#M123055 LeViDa 2020-11-19T10:28:19Z https://community.sony.ro/t5/z-series/bootloader-unlock-problem-for-my-z3-compact/m-p/3728452#M123061 <P>The webpage asks you to enter the IMEI# of your device.
