So, am I correct in assuming I’m unable to do anything with this device until I can sim unlock? Seems that’s a requirement for boot loader unlock. I got one of these for cheap cheap because I need an android device with out gapps but I’m thinking that’s not going to work until it’s sim unlocked. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

A couple pages back there is a thread on how to oem unlock without sim unlock. It involves running a debloat script or using adb to get rid of one service. It goes through every step you need to do to unlock.

Thanks! Found it and so far it’s worked. Waiting for response from OnePlus.

No problem, it takes almost exactly a week to the hour to get the code. Rest of the guide should be fairly easy to follow too. Just remember if you ever you the MSMTool to get back to stock it relocks your bootloader. You'll need to unlock it again by using the file OP sends you before flashing other nonstock firmwares again

Once you get the code, you can simply use my dummies guide to full rom backup, convert to US OEM (DE2117), and root and has the "oem unlock bypass" command in the guide.

I just got this phone from Boost Mobile and sent away for an unlock code. Afterwards I wanted put on a very basic ROM.
I havent done this is a while and saw some instructions on how to root and unlock the boot loader. Is rooting necessary?
Also, the stock roms people were posting are for the XT-2041 Sofia. Will this work? Thanks for any guidance.

I'm not rooted, but have Resurrection Remix installed. So, no.
I think its not possible for Boost Mobile Moto G Power (2021)
The OEM Unlock is greyed out and I cannot get it unlocked. The phone has internet, I had to activate it and get a line, but it still wouldnt unlock.
I think this is the main first step to being able to do anything? Is there ways around it?

Probably not.
Sometimes the allow oem unlock toggle is greyed out for a few days.
For some software channels, there is a delay that starts after connecting the internet.
Also sometimes a factory reset is necessary, then reconnect to internet.
Thanks for the info. I tried the factory reset without any luck. I guess Ill wait a few days and see if it unlocks.
I waited a couple days and OEM unlock toggle worked! I've unlocked the bootloader. Thanks for the help!
Hi everyone, long time xda lurker, first post. I bought a family member an unlocked Moto G Power (2020) for Xmas and 5 months later it took a fatal ride in the laundry machine The prices now for an unlocked phone aren't so great, so I bought the Tracfone version (XT2041DL) that I hoped to be able to modify back into a vanilla "Retail" phone. My problem isn't with the carrier lock (it will stay on a Tracfone carrier for many years), but with the bootloader lock. If I understand correctly, Tracfone won't unlock the bootloader even after carrier unlocking, so there's no way to install the vanilla "retail" ROM on it? Even if not possible to load a different ROM, at the very least I want the ability to remove the added carrier bloatware that Tracfone installs, but doesn't this require root?
I believe that one other user of this forum mentioned getting XT2041DL root, but with a locked bootloader, won't that still prevent me from making any permanent changes to the system folder? I did manage to find one guide at the following website, but I don't know if it's a reliable source of information [link] or if it will allow me to accomplish my goal. If I'm stuck with Tracfone's version of the ROM I will probably just return it and take the financial hit of the unlocked retail. Also, forgive me if I sound uninformed, I'm still very much a novice although I've managed to root a few items previously with the help of xda guides. Really appreciate the insight or advice from the community here.
You can remove bloatware with ADB shell commands.
same question, can anyone suggest?

TracFone won't unlock the bootloader. I've tried the guide in the link OP posted and it doesn't work. One of the ADB commands does bring up the unlock warning but does nothing from there. Unfortunately the only way to unlock the BL is through Motorola's website. If you're phone is eligible, they'll send a code to unlock the phone.

I don't think tracfone is eligible to be boatload unlocked that is the whole question where it started..not sure what adb shell cmd you are referring too? Is that work for your XT2041DL? Or you have other moto g power variants?

That is carrier network unlock, not bootloader unlock.
After that, moto still refuses to unlock bootloader.
I'm trying to flash Magisk, but seeing as there is no TWRP yet, the only method is by patching the boot.img. If anyone could get their hands on that and upload it, I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance!
I have been looking around for it on the oneplus site and can't seem to locate it. <did you get the bootloader unlocked?
Not yet because none have been unlocked yet. Hopefully by about 60 days in they will be willing to unlock it.
If I actually had the skills to do it <i would just pay the little bit of change for the phone just to have it unlocked. Sigh I thought oneplus had a decent sized community for messing with these thngs.

Usually, yes but sadly T-Mobile is only (as far as I'm aware) giving these phones out on contract so unlocking is not possible yet.
It's possible to buy one of these on the oneplus store, too, now. I've ordered one, and I'm hoping that since it's not affiliated with any particular carrier, it'll be factory-unlocked?
We'll see, but if all goes well I may be able to upload a boot image wednesday or thursday.
Edit: though, I'm skeptical. Even if you have a boot.img, if you don't have an unlocked bootloader, can you really install Magisk?
And if you have an unlocked bootloader, you should be able to extract the boot.img file yourself using `fastboot`. Or at least, such extraction is possible.

If not then I guess we'll wait a while and see if T-Mobile will be generous enough to unlock the device for us. I'm sure they'll understand since OnePlus has a long history of allowing mods.

Sorry I cannot help with that, update full zip hasn't been posted by OnePlus on its support website, so stock boot.img cannot be retrieved from payload.bin
I've gotten my device, and it is fully unlockable - I've now unlocked fastboot.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get fetching partitions via fastboot to work - I think the OnePlus Nord N200 5G might not support it.
I'm thinking the easiest way forward would be to get a TWRP build working, and use that to retrieve the boot image? Or just wait until oneplus posts a full update zip, if they do that.

Ah I see, you bought it from the OnePlus Store. That's awesome to hear! Sad about the partitions though. I'm wondering if the N100 TWRP build would be similar enough to use as a base for the N200, I'm no expert on any of it but it seems quite reasonable.
Perhaps somebody can do full system dump and find boot
I'm eagerly following this. As soon as root is figured out, I'm going to buy this phone.
Edit: Is there a way to create a bounty for this? I would pay. I am new to this community.

You could gain elevated access over adb and maybe find the boot.img

Did you buy it outright or did tmobile hook you up?
I paid in full already
I just need to stop being lazy and go pay for it. Maybe when someone gets something going. Lazy is winning out at this point lol.
You don't need to pay it off to get your device unlocked. mobbdeep unlocked my phone even though it wasn't paid off yet and the OEM unlock option isn't greyed out anymore.
However, there's something that's been bothering me: With T-Mobile branded OP devices, you have to fill out an unlock request form on their website to unlock the bootloader. However, I checked their form and there's no option to request an unlock token for the N200 5G, so I'm not even sure if the bootloader can be unlocked on the Nord N200 just yet. Granted, I haven't tried to unlock the bootloader on my device yet. Can someone else try and unlock the bootloader on their N200?

Confusing thread, but please read the existing threads on this topic as there are a few.
You need to SIM unlock the phone before you can unlock its bootloader.
If you have the T-Mobile variant, check this thread to see if they can SIM unlock your phone:

No need to reboot, once you finish that, going into Developer options should allow you to set OEM Unlocking to whatever you want. Easy peasy.
If it is from T-Mobile, you'll need to go into bootloader to get the serial, unlock code, and IMEI to submit a ticket to Oneplus for an Unlock Token and then wait a week to get it.
You can skip all of that if it's direct from OnePlus - just toggle OEM unlocking in developer options then go into bootloader mode and 'fastboot oem unlock'.
I don’t know the step By step process if someone could explain it to me the way they would explain it to someone who will be attempting to root for the first time I’d appreciate it

Thanks for the direction. I’m not sure if oem unlock and unlocked bootloader are the same thing, in developer option on my oneplus n200 g5 metro by T-Mobile the option to unlock oem is grayed out and I can’t unlock it from that setting is there another way
This thread has the information on unlocking your bootloader (yes, the OEM Unlock is the same as a bootloader unlock, but the option in the developers option is just one part of unlocking the bootloader, it doesn't unlock it by itself):
The Quest for a Bootloader Unlock (partial guide, T-Mobile variant, may work for MetroPCS/Metro variant)
OK, this process has been hell, but I'm gonna try and consolidate everything I've worked out so far in one place. This all applies only to the T-Mobile variant (ie. it comes preloaded with all the T-Mobile bloatware) of the N200 on the T-Mobile...

If you can run ADB commands, there's one singular command you can run to un-grey out the Enable OEM Unlock option, it's explained in that thread.
