Tutorial To Unlock Bootloader In Sony Xperia M4 Aqua:

1) To get started, download Sony Xperia Flashtool and install it in your computer. Next, download Minimal ADB and Fastboot and install it in your computer as well.

2) Next, go to Sony website, follow the procedure given there (Select Xperia M2 Or Xperia M as your device as Xperia M4 won’t be listed in there) and get the key which is required for unlocking your device’s bootloader.

3) Now, navigate to this file path: C:\Users\Admin\.flashTool (Replace “Admin” with your computer’s username) and open the folder named “registeredDevices“.

4) Next, open Flashtool Window and click the “Blu” button to get your device code. It will resemble something like this: 09/05/2015 23:45:08 – INFO – Current device : E2303 – AB100C2DE3 – 1272-4136_R5B – 1269-5420_15.3.A.1.17 – WORLD-a_15.3.A.1.17

The device code is the one that shows up next your device model number (E2303, E2306, E2333, E2353, E2363). So, in the example log file given above, the device code is “AB100C2DE3“.

5) Now, create a new folder in C:\Users\Admin\.flashTool\registeredDevices (replace “Admin” with your username in the computer) and rename it as your device code (Ex: AB100C2DE3).

6) Next, open the newly created folder, create a new text file and rename it as “ulcode“. Once done, place the unlock key you have got from the Sony website inside this text file and save it.

7) Now, open Flashtool and try the “Blu” option again.

That’s it. Now you have successfully unlocked bootloader in your Sony Xperia M4 Aqua smartphone. Now, you can install TWRP or CWM or any other recoveries for rooting your smartphone.
