Guys why we dont have OEM unlocking option ?
does that mean we will never be able to unlock the bootloader?
Verizon never allowed bootloader unlocking.

My phone is currently sim locked to my carrier but I want to unlock my sim as I am planning on switching to a different carrier. I've been reading about unlocking the bootloader and it seems there are issues with using 3rd party simunlocks before unlocking the bootloader unless you are using an setool2 unlock.
setool2 is far to expesnive for me and I would rather use a cheaper 3rd party unlock code. My question is if i were to do the bootloader unlock first since my phone is still locked...and then after my bootloader has been unlocked apply a 3rd party sim unlock code, will this cause issues?
Everything i've been reading about is about people doing sim unlock FIRST and then doing bootloader unlock. But i want to do bootloader unlock first and then do simunlock AFTER.

I wanted to know the Exact same thing... I just got an unlock code from cellunlocker. but when i put in a diff sim card it says sim is perso locked. that's besides the point. I read that by doing bootloader unlock the cell manufacturer drops the IMEI i believe from the update list. Idk if they do it for the unlock code list too. or just drops your IMEI all together. I want to figure this out before doing a bootloader unlock...
I was trying to unlock the bootloader of my phone and when i type fastboot oem unlock it shows me three dots "..." for hours.
Device : Micromax q324 (it is a spreadtrum 7731 device)
PC OS : Windows 8 64 bit
You can't unlock all bootloader like that. Really that only works on nexus devices and a few others without the oem unlocking it. If I'm not mistaken you need something from the oem for that device.
then how do i unlock bootloader for my device????

Contact the oem and see if there is a bootloader unlock method for the device.
Well i dont think that the indian customer representatives will know the meaning of bootloader

You would be wrong. That oem has other devices that it unlocks bootloader for, so they will at least know what it is and will tell you if it can be unlocked or not.
Understand that not all devices get an unlock for the bootloader. They don't want to do it.
I will contact oem tommorrow
Thnx for the assistance
Hello
I have LG-H850 with android 7.0.
I unlocked bootloader.
After,I accidentally disabled the OEM unlocking option and now it's impossible to unlock again...
And now, I can't root.
Is there any solution ? (I read there is no for the moment).
i have a t-mobile samsung tablet SM-T357T, and i need help unlocking the bootloader to root. i look in developer options, and there is no option to unlock the OEM. any help?
hi It says im unlocked in the unlock app. and I also have the token.bin from oneplus. I can't do anything in adb to unlock becuase i can't seem to unlock the bootloader it's greyed out in the developers options. How do you get the grey out?
i dont follow. you already got the token but cant enable OEM unlock? in order to get the token you need to have had OEM unlock enabled. to enable OEM unlock follow the debloat thread script. it will enable OEM unlock.

I have the token from my last logic board that broke. Since I had to install a new logic board from e bay my IMEI has also changed since that is what it's attached to.
Also I tried contacting the carrier and they said I need the original owners information in order to continue. I stated it's my phone from your company but i just replaced the part. Of course they told me the same thing. That I need the original owners information... Since the IMEI is no longer the same. The IMEI really is just a fingerprint for carriers to track. Doesn't really hold much more significance.
