I dont know if this is the correct section to ask this but it seems that alot of people are experiencing problems trying to unlock their phones with the samsung galaxy s unlock by chainfire while for others it seems to be working just fine. so, is there some way to know if my phone will be compatible with this unlocking procedure ? i prefer this method so as to avoid the patching of the file nv_data.bin. Thanks !

If that one doesn't work, then try this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.helroz.galaxysunlock&hl=en
Some users have reported success with it
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
yea i was aware of that method, but that one patches the nv_data.bin file.
the unlock from chaifire simply provides the unlock code, so yeah, i prefer this method.
is there anyway to know if it will work on my device before rooting ?
thanks.

okay great, one little thing more and ill start with it...
this will void my warrany, is there any way to re-lock it so i can take it to my carrier, tech support, etc ?
EDIT: it didnt work anyway, a pop up appeared saying unlock code couldnt be found.
i'll try helroz method later, is there any way to re-lock if this method actually works ?
I saw you found another thread for unlock program, replied you there. Also you can try here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064978 as your HW revision is low someone should be able to get you the code.
If you use helroz method then create backup 1st (within the app), so later you can restore to previous state.

what makes me frustrated is that I have the old HW and still cant get my code :/.
Anyway, big thanks.

Hi, i actually managed to fix the problem.
What i did was turn the phone off with the OFF key in sd card slot, after that connect phone to pc, in flashtool select flashmode and i successfully flashed firmware 26.1.a.1.128
I tried to do this almost 5 times and it never works for me, and my way to turning off tge device is holding volume up+power button because that Off button in the SD slot don't works in my case

I have for few days the same bootloop on my m4 . Issue started when wifi not worked suddenly and restarted. I found that if i slightly bend(twist) the phone it will boot and works for some time but doing again the same thing.
I suppose that the phone have something loose inside due to my rear jeans pocket where i keep it and maybe being bent.
The phone is in like new condition, no scratches or cracks.
Today i've send it to waranty service. I hope they'll fix it.
Any solution????
I'm very happy now. I was a little concerned about the warranty since the fw was reflashed by me with a generic one via flashtool. No trouble here.
Phone arrived from service, on repair sheet sais: phone motherboard defective, exchanged with a new one due to out of stock of parts.
Bootloader changed from unlock allow- no to unlock allow-yes and whithout operator simlock, and generic central europe fw, no more vodafone bloatware.

So, if I relock the Bootloader I will recuperate the warranty?

A) My device is unlocked.
B) I'm running the Verizon firm on a Retla moto Z .
C) My first step was boot into twrp recovery (3.0.2).
D) Can't pass the unencrypt data page, so I can't flash the magisk-7 or SuperSU 2.76, every time when I wrote the password to unencrypt, two throw me a "invalid password".
E) Can't make an unencrypted kernel cause I haven't the Nougat firmware.
That's all folks, as u can see is a work in progress.
Any suggestions???
UPDATE
Uploading Nougat Verizon TWRP image

1) TWRP boot fine from ADB with locked bootloader? Is it signed?
2) Can you post screenshot of the error?
3) Can you format /data from TWRP?
4) Patch for unencrypted kernel should work on Nougat too...
In my opinion the main problem is that even if you can root it on unlocked retla, it's not said/probable that this then works and/or can be flashed on real Verizon hardware with locked bootloader...

1 my bootloader is unlocked, as u can read previously I'm running Verizon firm on a retla device.
2 can't take a screenshot cause twrp doesn't have permission to access the memory to save the image.
3 can't access twrp menu cause can't pass the unencrypt page
4 can't patch a kernel cause the Nougat firmware file isn't posted anywhere yet.

Actually Verizon firmware is very sensitive if you mount system partition as R/W or patch force encryption or install any custom kernel
Rom will crash and doesn't boot, if boot, sim card or wifi won't work (in my device)
So I think back to Eu is best option
I wasn't EU, and u can't downgrade so easily, im OK with Verizon from, is like any other, I'm just trying to root Nougat.
Thx

Easy, just flash the MM Verizon firmware, then go to system update and the OTA will appear.
I'm running it also with dual sim.

System image is going to more than 4GB so you need to format it as ext4 (recommended) or exfat to save it, if you got no success get system backup (not system image)
Thanks again

Weird, it doesn't work on MM...
Introduction - I believe Huawei owners including myself only have to the 24th of July to unlock the bootloader of their devices now right?
So my question is, does unlocking the bootloader on my Mate 10 Pro have any effect on the device as in with LG you get the warning screen on every boot or on Sony devices you lose DRM keys resulting in bad camera quality?,
At the moment I have no plans to root or install custom ROMs, but if it will no longer be possible after the 24th then I'd rather do it and have the option at a later date incase I change my mind, rather than be stuck wishing I'd done it when I had the chance.
Thanks for any feedback :highfive:
As long as u have your key to unlock you can unlock it whenever you want. You will get a message when you restart phone. And you can always relock.

So I can request my bootloader unlock key, and the use it whenever I want to, if at all, and the only noticeable difference would be a warning screen? It in no way affects any features at all?

Warning will only be there when you unlock it.
So if you only get the code you won't notice anything
No features are affected as it is now anyway.

So assuming I unlock it, I will only get the 1 warning and then that's it?, I'm only curious because on my LG, I'd get the warning on every boot, if no features are affected such as camera quality I'm definitely going to request it

Sorry, the warning will be there each boot after you unlock. But not by just requesting code. You have to unlock device in Fastboot. So just get the code and save it in case you want to unlock, or if you sell the device later you could give the code to the buyer.

Ahh okay, the same as my old LG device then, I'm glad Huawei don't make you lose any DRM's like Sony do, the worst thing about unlocking my Xperia was the terrible camera quality once the bootloader was unlocked

It works fine in camera at least. I haven't even tried the AI powered translation. This is with Magisk installed.
I knew only supersu affected AI in camera and translation, while Magisk had no effect on the system. But I may be wrong

Hello as title states, bought mipad4 in AliExpress, once received, turned it on and noticed it said Unlocked in the bottom start up screen?? Is this already bootloader Unlocked so I can root? Or do I still need to do the Unlock bootloader process?
Thank you.

Well, if it says Unlocked, then you probably have an unlocked device. Some retailers unlock the bootloaders before selling the device, because they flash custom versions of MIUI (such as the fake Global Version)
You're lucky, you don't have to wait 2 months to get the bootloader unlocked!

Just make sure you re-register the pad to your mi account. Then if you flash stock rom and relock the pad you can easily unlock the pad without waiting.

Dumb question: is this as easy as signing in to the pad with your Mi account? Or is there something else I need to do for this? I do see the device listed on i.mi.com.
I'm not planning to re-lock it, but accidents happen.
