I only said it can't be unlocked by s1tool, didn't wrote that you can still use official way from sony dev page, I thought it goes without saying, but now I edited my post.
Actually it has been said on the link I put in that post.
Though I don't know how it goes with other online paid tools like omnius or wotanserver.

Has anyone managed to unlock their bootloader on Global stable rom that your phone shipped with?
I'm specifically asking Indians. And of course I'm asking about Snapdragon variant which ships here.
If it didnt unlock on Global stable, what did you do next?
Also please don't post about the unofficial hack method. I'm well aware about that. I want to know about official method.
I also have the same query, please anyone give a proper answer.

yes, Tutorial: http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
if you're not a developer or custom roms lover, you don't need unlocking, flashing and unlocking are risky and so many people got bricked, think twice before any action

Well
I got that 50%error too
I was at 7.1.8.0 got ota to 7.2.3.0
Then i logged out and factory reset it(optional)
Signed it and synced again and let it be for 3-4 days
Tried it and it went through
Maybe it is due to slow syncing with chinese server

I managed to unlock bootloader on Global 7.2.3.0 ROM.
I faced the 'stuck at 50%' problem too. It didn't work for me on Dev nor Global ROM. The Mi unlock tool said it couldn't verify accounts.
But after waiting for about a week I tried again and it worked!
Apparently Xiaomi's unlock process has some bugs and the accounts fail to verify properly. You have to give it time to sync.
Also in developer settings make sure to enable OEM unlocking. The Dev ROM has this enabled by default so maybe that's why more people had success with it (and maybe why people were reporting that unlocking on Global doesn't work).

I have already unlocked by unofficial method , by your official method boot.img , some good guy will be able to make modified boot.img of your officially unlocked one in which we don't need to delete bootloader file to switch between MIUI ROMS to prevent bootloop and bootloader relock problem again.
So request to you upload it.

It looks like Asus has provided us with the unlock tool for the Zenfone 3 Deluxe. Hopefully someone can make a guide to help users unlock their bootloader. Does anyone think this has a chance of working on the special edition version?
https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS550KL/HelpDesk_Download/
I'm not sure of that would be the same for this....
https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS570KL/HelpDesk_Download/
EDIT: Yeah i was correct this is only 5.5 for now, just have to wait a bit for 5.7 once they do so. until then if we have any testers for 5.5 they should start it now and get this phone hype up, if it works.
As I've been saying... as soon as they get off their behinds and release a bootloader unlock, I'll buy. Looking at you 256gb special edition! Common Asus!

Best way to do so, is word of mouth and contact there support. Then it will go from there.
We have the deluxe bootloader non special edition unlock tool out in the public for about a month and nobody who posts in XDA has said much about it yet. My fear is interest in this phone isn't so high so we'll never get a guide or solution to unlock the bootloader for the deluxe or special edition.
Has anyone with the deluxe tried using the unlock tool?

I have contacted them already. Got the same canned reply they give everyone.
I would love to hear some users report back on using this tool.

yes I flashed it via recovery mode, I haven't attempted the adb loader.
after further inspection to the zip file, DO NOT FLASH IT VIA RECOVERY. install it via the apk within the zip file. this unlocks the bootloader. as of now my zs550kl boot loader is unlocked and i will proceed with trying to get it rooted.

Alright that is very good news, keep us posted, sadly can't do much here for the 5.7 until then. As well post some screenshots as well.
I am a bit of a noob to the root scene. Last device I rooted was a galaxySII. I now have a zs550kl as I am trying to make my way back into the cutting-edge arena. I would like to see a root for this as my career has an imei lock on the data signal and I would like to spoof this with the imei of the varied bought device.
hello man! I am looking all over the web trying to find the bootloader unlock tool you mentioned that works for the 5.7 inch, would you drop a link or post a comment on where to find it? thank you for considering!

Depending on what you want to do with the unlocked bootloader.
I´ve just unrooted my phone and re-locked the bootloader. My banking apps couldn´t be used with a locked bootloader and root.
I am satisfied with EMUI and have no need to use custom roms.
I have deleted my bloatware with this method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-10/how-to/guide-removing-apps-bootloader-unlock-t3855067
And DNS66 seems to work just as fine as Adaway.

Is there any one click rooting tools that work with Android 9 - 11? Preferably 10 - 11. I want to root my droid (I have an AT&T LG G8 Thinq) and I don't want to unlock my bootloader. Please don't say "C'mon dude just unlock your bootloader", I'm looking for an actual answer(s) here. Spyware or not. By one click root tool I mean something like a tool that you can press a or a few buttons and it roots your handset. Yes I'm aware many of great old ones are spyware.

Because it's less secure and someone can flash whatever they want if they get my handset.

Can't someone just flash TWRP or something else and take a looksee in ALL my files? Or flash something to bypass the lockscreen?
If I could bootloader lock it while having TWRP and Lineage OS that'd be GREAT, but unfortunately we don't have the signatures for that ) :

It is possible to have LinageOS with a locked bootloader. You can relock it and revert back to stock recovery, so people can not flash anything to bypass your lock screen. This is very common for OnePlus devices. You can sell it and buy a OnePlus, throw your phone.
For example:

No, you just need a OnePlus device. OnePlus allows a self-signed signature, you can generate it yourself, and no leak is required.

Only works with some OnePlus devices. You can sign your ROM with your self-signed certificate. You can modify your ROM to whatever you want(including root) then just sign it, flash it, and re-lock. The bootloader now checks your self-signed certificate.
I don't think your needs can be fulfilled with your current device, maybe you have to sell your device.

So basically with a OnePlus I could just flash whatever I want and relock as long as the ROM is flashed LAST?
Also what's so hard about getting a signature? Why can't someone just pull it from the existing stockROM and put it on a their own ROM, so they can relock an Xperia or LG or something with a custom ROM?

Yes, and you also need to build and sign the ROM with your self-signed key and flash the custom key to the partition via the following

You can not simply use the prebuilt ROM downloaded from somewhere and re-lock, it will not work because it is not signed with your self-signed key.

lol, impossible. If what you said is possible, then SSL will be a piece of * because everyone can pull the signature simply by visiting a site. You need to learn what is "private key" and "public key". You need a "private key" to sign a thing and that private key is secret.
OK, so the solution is... Break into LG headquarters and obtain the key signatures and spread'em all for the world to see!
The less exciting options include infiltration or bribery...

get an oneplus device and that's all, one clicking root tools are unusable for a while..... or just unlock your bootloader (on AT&T you can't, i guess) . and after you wanna sell the phone, reflash stock ROM and RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER.
