Hi people!
I know, I'm completely newbie in this.
But I'm getting in trouble and confused about it.
The question is simple:
What's means FRP lock / unlocked and Phone lock / unlocked?
And what's the difference between them?
FRP means Factory Reset Protection. If locked your phone will be protected of unauthorized factory resets. If a stranger tries to reset your phone, the phone will ask for your Google password on startup.
So if you unlock FRP you will lose that protection but this is required too unlock your bootloader (that's what you called phone locked/unlocked).
Phone locked (bootloader locked) means that you cannot make any changes too the partitions of your phone for example the recovery. So you are required to unlock your phone to install custom recoveries and ROMs like TWRP or RR etc.
Hope I could help you clear some things up.
If you're planning to sell your Android phone, make sure to remove your Google account from it first or else the next owner wouldn't be able to use it.

actory Reset Protection (FRP) is a security method that was designed to make sure someone can't just wipe and factory reset your phone if you've lost it or it was stolen. Starting with Android Lollipop, FRP is "standard" in vanilla Android, and most companies making our phones have implemented it in their own models.Mar 29, 2016

Hi everybody,
My question is going to sound stupid, but now that I've got the unlock code for the bootloader, how do I unlock the FRP?
It is to this part that I am lost.
Sorry but I'm not very young anymore and not healthy. I had a big car accident and am much more on my phone and my computer

You need have enabled OEM unlock in Developer options for unlock FRP

Hi,
OK so I activate the OEM to unlock the FRP.
And for unlocking the Bootloader I can use Huawei Multi Tools?
Should I delete my Google Account or Huawei before doing these manipulations?
I do not have fingerprint or pattern lock.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
This video is for the Honor 8, but the same steps are used to unlock the bootloader on the Honor 9.

I unlocked the bootloader. Done on the instructions of the website:https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/unlock/step. After unlocking bootloader on my phone fastboot appeared the inscription "PHONE Unlock" and "Unlock FPR". On my device sprosili settings. After that, I re-entered entered the Google account, but the phone then began to hang periodically. I went into developer mode, done a factory reset there. And decided to turn back. Went to fastboot, blocked Downloader. Phone rebooted, then on the screen appeared the inscription: "Relock PHONE" and "FPR Lock". Out of fastboot, there was a black window where it says to restore the system through recovery in the air, but when I try to do fails. Help me, please!

Hello XDA, I've been wanting to root my S6 for a while now, and i think you can do it with adb. So when trying this i noticed i needed an unlocked bootloader, and i thought i had it because i had CRom service on my S6, but never opened it. When i did, it just crashed. Now, i'm not sure if I can just use
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
or i need something else. I'm on Mac so i am very, very limited. I at least can get adb to work. If i can use adb and or fastboot to unlock my device's bootloader (without messing DM Verity) then please tell me right away.

What variant s6 do you have?
Go to Settings - About Device - Build number. Tap on that repeatedly until you see that Developer Options has been enabled.
Go back to Settings. You will now see a new entry called Developer options. Tap on that.
Under Developer options you will see OEM Unlock. Switch that to On.
And you are done! Just that easy!

It's not that easy, the option is called "Allow OEM unlocking" which I already have turned on. All that option does is allow the bootloader to be unlocked.

Ok, I'm on 6.0.1 (Y is Samsung so slow when releasing updates) and a quick reminder: I'm on Mac, how am I supposed to flash CF-autoroot?

FRP is factory reset protection, if you don't allow OEM unlock when after you have carried out root and try to log into phone again you won't be able to do so, it's a security feature, frp is very tricky and it's important you make sure you have OEM unlock enabled before trying to do anything. You can use a software called heimdall which is similar to Odin and can be downloaded for mac. Yeah samsung always rolls out updates for international before anything else, just how they work. Before doing anything I highly advise you to visit the g920t forums, you will get more info there than you will here on the international forum. I hope you manage to get things done

Thanks for pointing that out. I don't know why I expect people to be grateful on XDA, just because someone tries to help them.
Using a Mac, you flash files using Heimdall: http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/
Ok so I think I'm good to go:
I attached some screenshots checking if everything is correct. Also, is http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/ the correct and official site to get Heimdall? And my device's build is G920TUES5DQD1 which was released a few days ago, and I'm not sure if the CF auto root file was based on an earlier update. Will I still be able to use it?
is g920v bootloader unlockable?
is it possible to downgrade thanks to this oem unlock?

As far as I know, and what has been the fact since the release of the 920V, there's has been no known case where the bootloader has been unlocked. Due to Verizon's restrictions, the S6 is hardlocked. The only way that it might ever be unlocked is if someone reverse engineers the bootloader software, creating an unlocked version that can be flashed, and that will still pass the phone's security checks. I wouldn't hold your breath for it though, because it's been 3 years and no solution yet.
i had same issues
i have been trying to unlock my s6 smg 9208 everything that i tried failed need really your help i can't use my keyboard and mouse ????
Most Samsung phones are unlocked, Only a small percentage of Samsung phones has locked bootloaders. Just pop a different carrier SIM and make sure it works, If different sims work then your device has an unlocked bootloader.

That is incorrect, what you are referring to is carrier locked. and is done to most phones sold in the US. Most can be unlocked once fully paid for and after 90 days of service.
Bootloader lock has nothing to do with sim cards at ALL!! It does have everything to do with being able to install other roms and firmware via non official sources.

Hey,
I just wanted to inform you guys that switching on the OEM Unlock will force a factory reset after the next reboot (Security Integrity Check). So do it rather sooner then later, before you have to setup all again.
Update:
I took the time and tested it on ARC5, you can see the results on the attached image.
PS: Deactivating the OEM Unlock results in the same situation -> Factory Reset.
Tested and confirmed :good:

Boot into Download mode - see if it says "Pre-Normal" - if so, you will have to wait 7 days before you can use OEM unlock - if it does say Pre-Normal, you are locked from flashing anything until it does show OEM unlock. This will happen in 7 days - if we have twrp by then and you plan to flash twrp - you will need to get the RMM State Fix and flash that immediately after flashing TWRP. You can find the RMM FIX here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75360965&postcount=22
The "Pre-Normal" thing is a known thing for S8/S8Plus and Note 8 Phones and at least for now, will be something many of us will have to deal with from now on.

Then you already know what to do - for what it's worth, I went thru this on my S8 Plus - contrary to what some have said, you can turn the phone off - doesn't effect your time in jail at all - you just need to keep data enabled while the phone is on -- and not take out the sim card.
good luck to you my friend.

I've been unlocking my kenzo since day 1 with no hassles. Recently I decided to flash a fastboot rom so solve my proximity sensor problem (which it didn't, ofc). Then I tried to unlock the bootloader to roll back to my previous twrp backup but after trying to unlock, it sticks at 99 percent showing a description in Chinese. Thanks to the recent advancees in technology(!) I could translate it to English.
It says "The phone is not used in the specified time, unable to unlock"
I just ask for permission in the developer options while OEM unlocking switch is on, and after that I reboot into fastboot mode right away to unlock the device. What the heck am I supposed to do?

Hello everybody.
my question is a little bit noobish, is losing a phone with locked bootloader have any security benefits?
like if it's lost or stolen can the thief access my data ?? can he use the phone after formatting it ??
i really need to know it, and my English is not very good as i tried to search for any updated topic about this matter and i couldn't find such thing
On locked bootloader, he can't access your data as your storage is encrypted and any attempt to unlock the bootloader will wipe the storage out. Even if he does some kind of a factory reset, he will still come to the point where he needs a password to unlock the phone after a reset. So no, he can't really use the phone if the bootloader is locked.

With locked bootloader, the thief will not be able to use the phone at all if you have it in secure lock screen.
With unlocked bootloader if you are encrypted (not flashing fde) he will be able to use the phone but will never have access to your data.
With unlocked bootloader and unencrypted (by flashing fde) he will be able to use the phone AND have access to your data.
Thanks guys very helpful, I needed to know the risks... Many thanks [emoji4]
Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk
Eventually you can unlock the phone, without using FDE, and backup/flash/restore with an USB-OTG cable and a USB drive, so your data will be encrypted but you still can "play" with your phone. That's what I did.

I have the same phone that I just bought and (sheepishly) just found out has wi-fi calling disabled by AT&T. That was a main reason for getting it, but unfortunately I went by the Sonim website's info and not AT&T's regarding that feature. Verizon's version has it enabled, but it's also much scarcer on the secondary market. The XP5800 doesn't seem to be a popular phone for tinkering judging by the lack of info on doing so.
Does anyone know if wi-fi calling could hypothetically be activated by rooting and then toggling some values, or is it more likely that the involved code was omitted entirely? I saw something to the former about tethering.

Each Android can get rooted by means of SuperSU ZIP. Only requirement is to have successfully USB debugging option enabled in Android->Settings->Developer options. You install this ZIP via phone's stock recovery.
To access developer mode, google "developer mode sonim xp5s". Open article: kb.eschat.com "Open Developer Options Tab on Sonim XP5, XP5s or XP3...". The device will then open the Developer Options tab. Ensure the take bug report option is enabled, and that USB debugging is also enabled. You may also add a menu button to the Power tab for future access to this feature.
Be sure you use a clean SuperSU ZIP to avoid malware. Suggest getting one from the xda forum.

I’m planning on buying Sonim XP5s and send it overseas. I just want to be 100% sure that Recovery mode will remove PIN.
Thank you.

Yes, it does, except if Factory Reset is blocked by Scout

Is there way to check if Scout has restriction?
also, do you know which XP5s (AT&T, SouthernLinc, Sprint or Verizon) has wifi calling enabled and 2nd sim card slot is unlocked? I mean unlocked version of those 3 carriers.
Thank you.

Not if the device is PIN locked and you don't know it, obviously .
If it's open, just try to reset the phone from the regular menu and you'll see if it's restricted

2nd sim usable without 1st. Found no way to enable both at same time.
Maybe anyone know how to dualsim (standby mode, etc) this unit?

The link is not working. Do you have a different one?
