Dead simple unlock, fastboot flashing unlock. No drama or extra steps required.

I have a AT&T Duo and enabled bootloader unlock in developer settings with no issue. Didn't unlock the bootloader because I don't want to wipe but the enabling of allowing it worked.

Is there a Duo Insider program from Microsoft to receive early releases?

Anyone tried a custom rom yet?

[Q] Bootloader no to yes

Hi All
Excellent work on getting the locked boot-loader root I now have a rooted z2. Is there any chance someone could look at changing the status of boot-loader unlock allowed=no to yes (if at all possible). I have lots of faith in you all and I will be a happy bunny if/when I can get a custom kernel to run on my phone.
Thanks in advance

Just curious, which versions have LOCKED bootloaders??? I just ordered a Z2 and I'm hoping mine is unlocked.

Every Z2 comes locked but some are not unlockable. To answer OPs question there is no way to unlock it with bootloader unlock allowed = no.

I got that part, I was just gathering general knowledge about it since I'm going to be very new to this device. Mine should be unlockable since it's "Network Unlocked". Yes I do know the difference between Bootloader and SIM lock, just stating that typically ones that are factory unlocked for use on any GSM network also have unlockable bootloaders.
I guess that makes me a happy camper
O.K
I have been in contact with O2 (Via Online Gurus) who have told me two different things on two different occasions,
1) You need to unlock your Sim lock with a code (which I did from them) and then flash a generic unbranded FTF. This will change the rooting status from NO to YES........................... This did not work
2) You need to talk to Sony as it was them who locked it................. Gahhhh
I have sent Sony an email saying this and I am just waiting for a reply.....................
Now we wait

I think now you'll have to buy a new phone from no operators at all if you want it bootloader unlockable.
Although I'm curious. Here in Greece all phones come unlocked even from operators. I mean Sim unlocked but they are branded. I bought mine from Commode and I checked three of them and their bootloader was Yes on unlock status.
Weird.

Is it possible to use the official unlock bootloader for H860?!

I have been surfing the web for couple of days to find a way to unlock the bootloader for LG G5 H860, but i couldnt find any thing
could any one help me with that ?
not possible. H850 EU only... as stated on the official site as well as the XDA G5 thread for bootloader unlocking.
To expand on what @autoprime said, at the moment, the only model that can have the bootloader unlocked is the H850.

Is it "not possible" for ever or what ?

probably not YET possible. We still have to wait for someone to discover an exploit. Non-unlockable bootloader doesn't necessarily mean no root forever, there are billions of ways out there to do it, but no one has found it yet for our variant. I remember rooting my Xperia Acro S without unlocking it (even though it was possible at that time). I love the phone anyway, even without root.
any update about unlocked boot loader for h860 (dual sim)?
Thanks!

I've graduated to the G5 from the G3, the bootloader for which was locked down tight by LG. The geniuses working on the G3 developed an exploit called Bump! that let users flash ROMs on the G3 despite its locked bootloader. It would be nice if something equivalent could be developed for the G5.

This has been reported to succesfully provide bootloader codes within hours of request.
Need to pay ober 50$ for unlocking bootloader?!
I've asked this on the non pro version of the forum, no answer yet however.
How is a 3rd party service like that possible?
Did they find a way to reverse engineer the process of generating the unlock codes ?
Maybe... never Huawei again.
damn, I wanted to root my device just to migrate from my dead nexus 6p.
I'm on a Huawei Nexus 6P right now and if it wasn't for my bootloader being unlocked, I wouldn't have been able to work around the Bootloop of Death. The Mate 20 Pro looks great, but not being able to unlock the bootloader is a showstopper.
If someone uses this service with a Mate 20 Pro and unlocks, please post!

What does this do? Unlock the device? Or unlock the OEM UNLOCK?

It reads your bootloader code so you can run fastboot oem unlock.

I'm pretty sure the person providing the service works for either Huawei or a third-party authorized repair center. Either way, they have access to Huawei's proprietary service software, which is capable of providing you with pretty much every code you could ever need.
That said, I don't understand how they stay in service though, as all it would take would be for Huawei to "buy" an unlock code from them, check their logs for who requested a code for that IMEI and shut their operation down.
u cant unlock the 20 Pros if its not a chinese version...
is it somehow possible to unlock the OEM button in the developer section?
i hoped for it with the update to 9.0.0.153, but still no success.
thx,
You can unlock the Bootloader via funky Huawei, .171 allows this in the dev options, then you pay $50 for the code. There you have it bootloader unlocked.
I'm on the OTA official .171 update and it has OEM Unlock available in Developer options.

Hi, are you on a Chinese M20 Pro or some other model? Was the OEM unlock feature available before the 17 1 upgrade or it has been blocked out before?

Enable OEM Unlock

No, it's the first step after you need the unlock bootloader code and Honor don't give it.
Actually nobody can unlock an honor 10...
Who says that ? I got my bootloader unlocked by an Estonian guy which I paid 10$ to do so. He is/was an Hauwei employee and dumped bootloader codes of any phone which was produced to this day (late 2019). Besides of this service, there is an on chip soldering guide for reading and flashing hardware based, most of it can be found under the radar. Personally I would recommend this guy, but I can't find his website atm, maybe googling it will be easier.
Peace and gl

Rooting methods the same for all variants of S10 Lite?

I have the US Model SM-G770U1 (unlocked 8GB GSM/CDMA) , are the rooting methods I see for the SM-G770F the same for my phone?

Doesn't appear to be. There's no option in dev options for OEM unlock.
