Does enabling OEM Unlock from developer options (Android 5.1.1) unlocks the bootloader?
If yes then can I directly flash a custom recovery after enabling OEM Unlock?

No, it only gives you permission to unlock bootloader.
You will need to unlock bootloader using adb.
Try this,
Download adb and Koush Universal adb driver and install them on ur pc, always install the driver first and don't install the drivers adb setup asks u to install.
Run command prompt as administrator.
Open the folder in c drive where adb is installed, u can use file explorer for this.
Press Shift+right click and select open command window here.
Enable USB debugging on your phone and connect it to the pc by a USB cord.
Enter command "adb devices" without quotation marks.
If it shows some device connected, only then proceed further.
Enter command " adb reboot bootloader"
Enter command " fastboot devices", if it shows some device to be connected, only then proceed further.
Enter command " fastboot oem unlock".
Ur phone may then ask for final confirmation on the phone screen, select yes.
When procedure completes, type "fastboot reboot" and your phone will reboot normally.

thnx for the reply augustonandro ! but i think im doing something wrong , whenever i type the command adb reboot bootloader my device(Galaxy J200G) restarts instead of rebooting to bootloader . So I just went to my stock recovery and chose option "reboot to bootloader" but still it restarted instead of rebooting to bootloader.
Am I doing something wrong?

guys i just found out this thread:https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j2/development/dev-samsung-galaxy-j2-lte-t3258147 and it says that just enable OEM Unlock and your bootloader will be unlocked. Is it true?
No, as explained above. That just allows the bootloader to be unlocked via ADB/fastboot (unless the bootloader is locked down like many ZTE phones).
Have you tried "adb reboot-bootloader"?
HI...I know after so many years....But i am having some problem considering my nokia 5 phone....In developer option the OEM unlock is greyed out and i cannot unlock it at all(i cannot toggle it on)....Any possible way i can turn it on....Let me know....Thanks in advance

Hi All,
I have rooted the phone using king root and it rooted my kitkat, then i downloaded MTKdroid tools and flashed TWRP.
My problem starts here, after flashing using MTK droid tools it does not boot on reccovery but it boot into normal mode. I did a research using fastboot and found that the bootloader is locked. I tried
fastboot oem unlock it shows the disclaimer screen but when i selected the key it says unlock failed. Again i googled out and found some devices are code locked. Is there any method for E311 bootloader unclock.
Your help is very much appreciated
There is no botloader man...
Try this commands. But before paste the recovery image in fastboot folder of ur pc and rename it 'twrp' then open cmd window. And type "adb devices" If u see ur device listed, u can proceed. But if it is not or it shows unauthorised, do the following
1. Install proper drivers on ur pc
2. Enable usb debugging
3. Then connect to pc and bring down ur notification panel of ur phone.Click on usb options and select camera option. Then again enter "adb devices" in pc. Even then if it shows unauthorised, you will see authorisation window in ur phone...
Ur done!!!
U can enter following commands
"adb reboot bootloader"
Wait for some time then
"fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
Then ur pc screen will show succeeded!!
Then enter
"fastboot reboot"
Ur phone will reboot into normal mode
then enter "adb reboot recovery"
Congo!! U have twrp custom recovery installed

Hello,
I have a Straight Talk ZTE Majesty Pro LTE [Z799VL]. It runs Android 6.0.1. This phone occasionally installs apps and has an annoying app called AppFinder. I have tried to root this phone with KingoRoot and KingRoot. So, I need help figuring out if this thing is even rootable. I would get a more accessible phone, but I'm short on money. I know this is short on information, but I'd be willing to help in any way I can.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Boop.
I'm fairly certain this phone was released recently. Maybe it's just too soon.
I have this same phone and am having the same problem finding info on how to root it. Keeping a hopeful eye on this thread

Have you unlocked the bootloader?
I recently upgraded to an Android 7.1.1 ZTE Majesty™ Pro Plus LTE (Z899VL) from TracFone,, and was rather dismayed to find out that it has an unremovable Facebook app (among other rubbish that I don't want/don't use).
I've never rooted a device before, and I know that this thread's a little old, but would anyone be willing to post a very-newbie-friendly step-by-step tutorial/walkthrough for rooting this phone (assuming it's possible)?
I have Developer Options enabled, and I can easily unlock the bootloader if that's required. I just want to get rid of these useless (for me) System Apps.
Oh, also: I don't have Linux, so… if it's possible, perhaps the rooting method could work using a Windows 7 PC?
need fastboot to unlock the bootloader. to the best of my knowledge, which aint much. but i can not find access to any kind of dl mode let alone fastboot.

Well, I finally managed to get my 899VL (it's not a 799VL as I'd thought — sorry) to show up as an ADB device; it accepts commands from the ADB program… except that when I execute "adb reboot bootloader", it just reboots my phone.
The ZTE logo shows, then the TracFone logo, and then Android boots as normal. It's as though I simply used the "Restart" option on my phone itself.
Due to this, I can't use "fastboot" commands, because it doesn't seem to enter Fastboot at all.
I do have both the OEM unlocking and USB debugging options turned ON. My only guess as to what's going wrong is that it's TracFone's fault. (Alas, I have no proof…)
Is there anything else that I can do to try and unlock the bootloader? Or is this phone a lost cause?

Well, I don't know about any other method to unlock boot loader.
BTW, in case of some phones, turning on the "OEM Unlock" button in Developer Options unlocks the bootloader automatically, so maybe, just check whether your bootloader is locked or not.

Z799vl Help USB tethering
Hi everyone.
I apologize if this was already asked.
I own a Symphony H50. I am trying to install windows via change my software but it shows device too slow or protected by manufacturer.
So googled it and found that i need to unlock my boot loader.
So I installed adb,fastboot,drivers including bootloader interface driver. And booted into fastboot mode. And typed "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" and the command prompt shows 3 dots (...) And the cursor keeps flashing. And no confirmation message shows up on my phone.
It only shows "FASTBOOT mode".
Another thing i found out while installing adb drivers that it listed my phone manufacturer as HTC.
So is the problem with my phone?
And how do i fix it?
It may be a problem with driver, uninstall the previous one and install Koush universal adb driver from kaushikdatta.com
Use the link given below for a thorough tutorial to replace drivers.
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/android-wont-connect-windows-adb-fix-it-three-steps/
Thanks for reply,
I'll try the drivers.
Though my adb drivers are working fine. My issue is with fastboot.
When i boot into fastboot mode it shows "FASTBOOT mode" on a black screen.
But i would try with the
That black screen with fastboot mode written at the bottom comes up on every phone when you boot into bootloader.
Please read the whole guide before proceeding.
You may skip the driver and adb installation part if u have already taken the measures I stated before.

Download adb and Koush Universal adb driver and install them on ur pc, always install the driver first and don't install the drivers adb setup asks u to install.
Run command prompt as administrator.
Open the folder in c drive where adb is installed, u can use file explorer for this.

Enter command "adb devices" without quotation marks.
If it shows some device connected, only then proceed further.
Enter command " adb reboot bootloader"
Enter command " fastboot devices", if it shows some device to be connected, only then proceed further.
Enter command " fastboot oem unlock".
Ur phone may then ask for final confirmation on the phone screen, select yes.
When procedure completes, type "fastboot reboot" and ur phone will reboot.
U can now use Kingoroot or any other tool for rooting.

Press the "Revoke USB debugging authorization" in Developer Options.
Connect your phone with pc with the phone screen on and unlocked.
The phone will ask for permission, press OK.
Then type "adb devices" in the terminal as directed in the tutorial before.
It will probably show your device.

Tried but nothing happened. Looks like currently they don't have drivers for this phone. However thanks for your efforts.

Can you tell me the steps or link to any tutorial?
Thanks either way
Yeah, sure -->
You need to have the unsigned boot.img for the q452, download it from here https://drive.google.com/file/d/127pySEIXj-uRyZpWycfRjaihkYgGv9tR/view?usp=sharing
Install the Magisk Manager apk, open it, click on the Install button next to "Magisk is not installed" and then click on Install again.
Then select "Select and Patch a File" and select the unsigned boot.img. Magisk will patch it, and then flash the patched boot image using adb (you need to have an unlocked bootloader). That's it!

THIS WILL WIPE ALL THE DATA ON YOUR DEVICE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATA
Ok, first you have to enable "OEM unlocking" in the Developer options. The adb commands are-
1. adb devices (to make sure that the device is connected)
2. adb reboot bootloader
3. fastboot devices
4. fastboot flashing unlock OR fastboot oem unlock Then press the volume up button on the phone to unlock the bootloader
5. fastboot reboot bootloader
5. fastboot flash boot boot.img (where boot.img is the unsigned boot.img, you have to put it in the adb folder)
6. fastboot reboot
That's it! Hit the thanks button if I helped you!
