Hi there,
since a couple of days I`m thinking about to flash my redmi note 4, with the latest lineageos or something else.
Doing that I`ll have to unlock the BL as far as I already know.
To do so I`ve been told, to contact Xiaomi, install an "unlock-tool", get an SMS with a code...
But: if that is true, what for is this option, shown in the pichtures?
I found them in the developers options...
Thank you and greetings from Germany,
e.
Have you tried it?
Don´t you think if it were so easy, it would have being seen before by someone more?
If you find that it works, please, tell everybody.
As far as I know that option is only unlocked after you have done all the steps indicated by Xiaomi.
Regards.

1. What do you think: Would I have posted that question, if I already tried it?
2. What I think an what I know, are two different thinks. Maybe the BL is open since Miui 9? Maybe Xiaomi brought that feature OTA, because I has been requested much offen?
3. What was your goal, writing this answer? Giving a solution? Showing that you don´t have a idea, too? ("As far as i knwo...")
Helpful is something other...

I believe you have to have access to fastboot on your phone to do this. It seems like they've just taken the official method and put in into a program.
I was actually wanting to post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980683
But it seems you are not allowed to post in that thread until you have posted at least 10 posts...which is great if you really only need to post in that one thread...
I urgently need to root the SHV-E330S, Build LRX22C.E330SKSUDOL4, that I just bought as right now it is rather useless to me...
I need to get rid of the Korean Telecom branding and make the phone understand that it is not in Korea anymore, and therefore not roaming...
But I cannot do that without it being rooted.
I checked everywhere, but I cannot find a CF-Auto-Root for that build.
I have the Recovery Image, which I was going to post in the above stated thread:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!At3VuFqpzytcgpRf36oYLgw_WPgCjA
That's a link to a OneDrive folder where I stored the Recovery Image.
Can anybody help me and possibly post a request for this in the above mentioned thread for me?
And does anybody have any further codes that allow me to find out whether I am up against a locked bootloader or not?
The codes I found so far did not work...
Or maybe someone has another idea how to find that out.
The phone has Knox installed, but it's a used phone anyway, so if warranty is void, then be it. It's one of the apps I then want to get rid of anyway.
Not sure if my phone has a flash counter.
Couldn't find out how to find that out either. Maybe someone has an idea on this one as well?
But that's only interesting with regards to warranty as well, I guess...so it does not really matter.
So, if anybody could help me in getting that CF-Auto-Root for my device and build?
And to find out whether my phone has a locked bootloader, that would be great...
Looking forward to your answers.
Kind regards,
Chris
I see there have been views. Is there nobody who could or would possibly help me?
Please?
I really need this CF-Auto-Root, but I cannot yet post in the corresponding thread.
It would be great if someone could help me out...
I very much hope that someone will have a heart and help me...
Alternatively, can anybody let me know how I can make a CF-Auto-Root myself?
Is there a program? Can I just exchange something in an existing root file?
Please, guys...I really need help...
If you have a custom recovery already, you can just flash SuperSu through it. No need for CF-Autoroot.
The bootloader won't be locked -- Korean variants of Samsung phones never are.
(also, did you try this link: https://download.chainfire.eu/493/C...-Auto-Root-ks01lteskt-ks01lteskt-shve330s.zip?)

Hi there!
Thanks for answering, and sorry my own answer comes so late, I had some internet issues now as well...what a surprise...when there is one thing, more will happen.
But back to the issue.
First of all, thanks for the info regarding the bootloader very likely not being locked. VERY good to know.
As for the CF-Auto-Root not being needed:
It might be correct that I could probably root the phone having the recovery image only...problem is, I cannot.
I know how to root with a CF-Auto-Root, that's easy enough...but without a step-by-step guide, I don't know how to root without a CF-Auto-Root....
As for the link, I cannot see which build this is for? Only which device...and as this list
https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
which is supposed to be up to date, does not list my device with the requested build, but only with a different build, I am not sure the CF-Auto-Root in your link is the one I need.
And I don't want to completely brick my phone by using a root for a different build...
Do you by any chance have a step-by-step for me on how to root the phone without the CF-Auto-Root, when I have the recovery image?
Hi, I have had a look around and searched for this answer but cannot find a definitive answer. Is it possible to intall any custom roms if my BL is unlockable? I have checked and unfortunately I cannot unlock it on my phone (If anyone knows a way, I'd appreciate it).
I can't seem to see any mention of BL in individual rom posts but assume they need it as they use TWRP to install the roms and TWRP as far as I know needs an unlocked BL.
Thanks
There's an official website for unlocking bootloader: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/
If needed further help regarding custom ROMs, feel free to leave me a reply.

Sorry to hear that but if your bootloader is not unlockable you are stuck with stock. AFAIK there are no ROM for BL and I don't think any will be created due to the old age of this model and the support of the Sony Open Source Project
Hello,
I've an old Huawei Y6 (SCL-U31) and I'd like to unlock it to install a custom rom but I'm struggling to get it to work since Huawei doesn't provide these codes.
Any idea how to get my unlock code without paying ?
Thanks in advanced.
there is no way some country support apps may help but i ve tried and got none. hate this phone, app2sd blocked, 16gb but i have 3 gb after setup. cant install any app because of that. all people asked for huawei to unlock that feature but answer is always a no. this brand works for only top edge phones.

I used DC-Unlocker to read the bootloader code, its a paid service though (4€)
I think it's totally worth it, i'm now running Lineage 14.1 and my SCL-L01 already feels like a new phone. This phone was never good but at least now it's a decent spare.

Hello i´m new to flashing and rooting and i wanted to know if it is possible to root my Honor 10 with Emui 9.1.0.357 (C432).
I have unlocked the bootloader and now i need to flash TWRP on my device right?
but on TWRP´s website there is no Support for Honor 10.
I also found OpenKirin that supports Honor 10 but on their site is emui 9.0 listed.
OpenKirin can be flashed without TWRP rigth?
i dont know what to do now.
i havent found a good guide for my problem.

Hey, sorry I can't help rooting but when did you get your bootloader unlocked and what method did you use? If you used a third party can you let us know how you did it?
Also the other thread you've commented on looks like it shows how to root but again sorry I can't help more than say try those steps (carefully! The twrp is for a different device but seems to work) .. good luck. If I ever manage to get unlocked and rooted I'll let you know.. I'm still bootloader locked as Huawei never sent my code!

I claimed my code on the last day where you can claim it from Huawei.
the other thread was an Instruction for 9.0 not 9.1.0.357.
