I run 'fastboot oem get_unlock_data' and, according to Motorola, my Cricket Moto E XT1021[ (1st Gen) is not eligible for bootloader unlock.
Can it still be rooted?
(bootloader) cid: 0x0010
You need to unlock bootloader inorder to flash an unsigned recovery image using fastboot. The reason why device can't be unlocked may be due to carrier based reasons I believe.

You will re-lock the phone by flashing the SBF. To unlock reflash the unlock file..you'll still be on the latest SBF.
I unlocked my bootloader by going into fastboot and typing fastboot oem unlock, then it asked my to type it with my device id, so i copied the device id so i typed fastboot oem unlock ******** and it worked, it says unlocked and works

As we know, an Android phone is first controlled by the bootloader.
Only the bootloader can read/write the NandFlash, so, if the bootloader is locked, then flashing commands issued by fastboot will fail.
My question is:
If the bootloader is not unlockable by design, how to root a phone?
im trying to unlock the boot loader so i can get root, is there a rom i need to flash, i cant get the unlock code from motorola, and the verizon rom doesnt work, it fails from the moto z team
at least the latest one anyway
the addison root one doesnt work either, they fail validation using fastboot flash xxx xxx xxx
i tried to use king root but i dont think i can root it with the bootloader locked can i
under developer options i enabled OEM bootloader unlocked, but during the fastboot screen it says its OEM locked
any and all help is appreciated
Hey guys, selling my V30 but i unlocked the bootloader. Its an official UK model.
How do i go around relocking the bootloader and removing all trace that i unlocked it.
Can i just use the bootloader oem lock command or something similar?
Thanks.
Flash a kdz for H930 of your choice first (REFURBISH option), then relock the bootloader using the fastboot commands.
So i got the S22+ from Spectrum and i have been looking into rooting it but there is no oem unlock, so i tried to go into fastbood with adb but all it does is reboot the device it does not even go to fastboot therefore this model is impossible to root right?
You need unlocked bootloader to root, bootloader cannot be unlocked.

So therefore i gotta buy another model to unlock the bootloader?
Snapdragon U and U1 are locked bootloader no oem unlock, can't be unlocked or rooted. If you are in United States depending on which carrier you have,you need to be careful buying International devices. I'm on At&t and they only support certain variations of devices now. Trust me I found out the hard way. If it's not on their supported devices they will disable your Sim card for unauthorized device. And trying to have them whitelist the imei does nothing
