as the title say, is it possible to know if my bootloader unlockable while on Nougat?
I have the South African H850 but I read that apparently it can be unlocked. I currently have V20A flashed on it.

You do not need to downgrade, follow the guide to install TWRP after unlocking your bootloader and you are ready to flash anything you want.

Hi, i have a japanese phone, ISW11M (AU KDDI) which is locked apparently. I have already sim-unlocked it using some paid service. However, I planning to unlock the bootloader to install some rooted custom ROM..
So my question is, do isw11m(Au kddi) model is supported by photon_torpedo root method? Or do i need to use other method to install custom rom in this phone? Please enlighten me or give me a direction on how to solve this.
Yes, you can install custom ROM on ISW11M. I've already installed CM7 on my ISW11M (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910837). Do step-by-step --> ROOT --> UNLOCK BOOTLOADER --> CMW --> Install ROM.
But there is one thing you must know, if you break your phone, you can't returm to stock ROM because there is no stock ROM for ISW11M.
Please read carefully all step before you begin. I think when you're on CM7 you won't want to return stock.

I got build number, 4.5.1. I guess it is still not possible to unlock bootloader with this build version. =.=
Take a screen of your phone's About information. My phone is also 4.5.1 too.

Can you send me the link of where can i learn to unlock bootloader?
You don't need to go to an external website- I found the BL unlock instructions in the development subforum for this device and it worked perfectly. Although it slightly worries me that there's no stock ROM for this device- mine is starting to have problems.
That's right!

my stock ver is 13.3.2 using safestrap 3.75. is it possible that i download the new safestrap 4.0 and install new rom CM11 or nexus like the way i did before?
If you're on 3.2.3.2, you can install TWRP (a true recovery) and unlock your bootloader (which will also allow you to install ROMs like CM12).

Allright.
A Phone always comes with a locked bootloader so if you don't unlocked it yourself it is still locked.
To flash twrp you will need a unlocked bootloader and to unlock a bootloader you need rootacess.
I used the app rlashr to flash twrp and boot in recovery. Don't forget to type 'su' in a terminal before you use it (at the guide how to unlock a bootloader)
This guide tells you how to do everything:
(Follow these steps: root -> bootloader-> recovery(twrp))

If you look at the bootloader thread, you'll see exactly what version you can use to unlock etc.
i found this custom rom named LinageOS and i want to try but i only found a version for h830, can i use it to my h831?
You can't unlock the bootloader of the h831, so flashing twrp and custom roms is not an option.

My old phone is on 11.3.A10, unlocked and rooted.
I'd like to return this phone to bone stock. No need to keep any data.
In my research the process seems quite difficult and the boot images hard to find. Is an simple automated reset not possible?
What about sending it into oneplus?
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't care which version of OOS is installed, if 12.1 makes life easier then sure!
Ok, Now you do install on your PC mtk_client because to lock bootloader you do flash three partition

I wish I knew how without bricking my phone. I dont have the stock version of the rom im using, or can I just flash any stock rom on top? I uninstalled Magisk, and multiple Root checking apps now say I am not rooted (or not properly rooted). I hope thats enough.
Are you sure I need to unroot before doing the guide?
Yes, because you can't lock bootloader
