What if you fastboot oem unlock US Cellular US998? - LG V30 Questions & Answers

What happens? It's enabled on the developer options, what happens when you try to unlock it through fastboot like most androids in the past? I'm curious if somebody else tried it already.

That's a setting on all Android phones since like Lollipop. It doesn't actually do anything if the OEM/carrier doesn't want it to do anything.
FYI: Android 5.0 Introduces “Enable OEM Unlock” Option in Developer Options

No "Enable OEM unlock" options in developer settings

Hey guys, I just tried to unlock my bootloader. I have obtained the unlock code and everything. I try to execute this command
Code:
fastboot oem unlock XXXX
, I always get stuck at
Code:
waiting for devices
1. I have updated my device drivers.
2. For some odd reason, the toggle for "Enable OEM unlock" is not present in the developer options.
3. Now, I have updated my KIW-L22 to B340 version recently. Maybe the toggle is removed in the recent update. Is there not any way to bring back that toggle so that I can unlock my bootloader?
Please guys, I need your help with this, if anyone has ever encountered this before, please tell me how to bring it back.

I had the same issue you don't need to toggle the option on marshmallow. The error looks like you need to do a sudo fastboot if your using linux.
The only other thing to remember is you need to remove the factory reset protection (frp) see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/unlock-bootloader-issues-kiw-t3411032

Just because that option is not available does not mean your bootloader is locked, plus you can unlock using ADB.
Just enable usb debug only

This option is not there in Marshmallow. not sure if there is still a way to unlock as this option itself is not there...try enabling USB debugging couple of times and see if it prompt you for authorisation. if it does, you can still do the required things.

I cant find mine either, but i have a suspicion that they just removed/edited the files to just have one state of locked and no controls or commands to unlock it.
Find out the file name and path for the "OEM unlock" setting in the developer options.
then search for it using the ADB, if the files aren't there then you might need to put the phone in to download mode and "sideload" the the full files back on to it.. if it's possible.
it might be more complicated than that. that's what i would've done as a Carrier if i wanted to keep modders and phone thieves out.
also on my Carrier phone when i put it into Download mode it seems to run like there own unlock before it does anything else, might need to run that first to unlock the lock so you can unlock it...
this is kind of a BS response, but at least it's an idea to look into. Sorry.
also you could try loading PDANet to see if the device will recognise.
Tamoghna Chowdhury from Android.stackexchange TOO NEW CAN'T POST LINKS said:
To unlock the boot loader you need to have the ADT with all the packages installed and configured.
Later once the configuration is done properly then you can connect your device and enable USB Debugging under the options.
Download Modaco’s Superboot files and save them to your computer.
Once downloaded, extract it by right clicking and extract all.
On your phone, click on Settings > Developer Options > Turn USB Debugging On.
Plug the device in to your computer via USB cable.
Open the superboot folder that we just extracted (until you see the folder with fastboot-windows inside it), then hold the shift key down on your computer and right click any blank area.
Now, select open command window here.
In the command prompt, type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line.
adb-windows reboot bootloader (and wait for the device to reboot)
fastboot-windows oem unlock
(If it gets stuck at waiting for device here, download and install PDANet on your computer, once installed, unplug then plug the device back in and see if that fixes it)
Once it runs the device should display a screen asking you if you are sure. Click yes using the volume buttons. The device will go back to the bootloader screen but say unlocked at the bottom.

LG G5 SE H840 (Europe) - Possible Bootloader Unlock

A friend of mine got this phone recently, it's the "Special Edition" H840, but it's European.
I was checking the Developer Options and noticed that i was able to enable OEM Unlock.
My questions are:
Should I try to unlock the bootloader via fastboot?
Should I try another fastboot command first (or after) to see if they've been blocked like on the H830?
Would me confirming any of this help you guys out in any way?
Thanks in advance, I'd love to see development get started on the H840 if it's possible to unlock its bootloader.

The OEM unlock option is there on all G5's, it was even there on my ATT V10 that has yet to be unlocked. I suppose you could try to run the fastboot commands, but I doubt you'll actually get anywhere with it.
As Eric said, they're present in every G5 version. Don't waste your time, you can't unlock it without the IMEI associated .bin file.

Cannot Turn on " Enable OEM unlock" option in Developers Option on my T-mobile LG V10

Cannot Turn on " Enable OEM unlock" option in Developers Option on my T-mobile LG V10
Hi guys, I was trying to Root my T-mobile Lg V-10 but had come to a dead end in the process when my " Enable OEM unlock " option in my phones developers option wouldn't turn on.When i click on the " Enable OEM unlock" option in developers option it guves me a warning " Allow OEM unlocking, WARNING: Device protection features will not work on this device when this setting is turned on." it gives me 2 options enable or cancel, when i click on enable nothing happens and the "Enable OEM unlock" checkbox remains untick.
So due to this when i boot my Lg v10 in fastboot mode it tells me to enable oem unlock in developers option.
So if anybody has got a solution to this problem, i would be really thank full to him for helping me!

Hello Xception,
I've seen this issue before on my son's V10 and the only way that I managed to fix it was to use the LG Bridge tool to reload the latest Android version (reset the phone) on it then attempt to enable the OEM unlock option again. Keep in mind you will lost all data on the phone unless you make a backup first. This is what worked for me so I can't really guarantee that it will work for you but it is worth a try.

Question OEM unlock on SM-A025G/DSN

Hi,
I am pretty new on how to install custom-roms on Android, although I have a good experience on Linux distro installs on pc.
My question is how can you unlock OEM on a SM-A025G/DSN? I was reading this article: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-for-galaxy-a02s-snapdragon.4294377/ from afaneh92, and I saw that my device is compatible with OEM unlocking so I wasn't hesitated to actually search for this function but it seems that on Android 11 this option is not available?
I saw a few articles (like this: https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-galaxy-a02s/) where they can eventually find the OEM unlocking option but I was not lucky to see that. My phone is developer mod, so I think I ran out of options.
Any help on this?
Thanks for the responses!
I've ran across the issue of not finding OEM unlock on my Samsung phones. All it requires (for me, anyway) to show up is to connect to a WiFi network... that's it. Try it, maybe you can get it to pop up.

I too am having the same issue.
I recently wanted to try Android 12, I took a chinnese version of it and my phone is unusable, literally all chinnese.
I want to downgrade, I enabled Debugging and Oeam Unlock in Dev options but I get the ''remote: 'Flashing Unlock is not allowed"" when I try to fastboot oem unlock, I tried different USB ports, I keep updating all my drivers for ADB but nothing is working. I'm panicking a bit cause I don't have a phone to use, and not many people work with ONEPLUS in my country.
If someone has an answer, please save me lol

have you tried the code above ??
cant you just download the official original firmware and flash that ? im not familiar with the oneplus flashing techniques, ive always had samsungs except for the htc evo 3d back in the day
I tried them all, nothing seems to work
I'm stuck at 'Flashing unlock is not allowed'. I've set up everything I need to in Developer Options, I made sure they're all enabled.
It's really weird, could it potentially be a software issue? The software itself will not allow me to unlock OEM even though the check is turned on?

how does the one plus flash firmware ? for samsung we use a tool called odin, do you not have a similar tool for your device ?
I don't recall having any toolkit like that, but in order for the toolkit to work.. do you need to have an unlocked bootloader?
Cause the main issue is that I can't unlock it.
i dont think so, if your flashing an official firmware, but for your device i cant be sure of that
?
did you try running your commands as an su , is your device rooted ? you could try sideloading an update.zip maybe
what does it say when you flash this command ? true, true false ?
C:\ADB>fastboot OEM device-info
maybe this will help https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...us-2-back-to-stock-100.3269543/#post-64279667

OK try
c:\adb
Adb fastboot oem device-info
Replacing
C:\adb
With where ever your fastboot is located
Just to check if your device is showing is oem locked or unlocked, it will display with a true or false option. I can't really advise to much as I don't have experience with that device
You could also try
fastboot oem unlock_critical
Not sure if that will work for your device though
Idk what else to recommend, are you stuck at boot ? Can u boot into recovery mode ? Do u have an ext sd card slot

Have youlooked at that
if you can confirm your phone has a mtk chipset use mtkclient to bootloader unlock it https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
otherwise youre out of luck

If the flashing starts, and fails, the os would be overwritten and you wouldn't be able to boot. So what you mean is the process trys to start but fails, right yh then I don't know what else I can say to try and help, let's hope mtkclient is an avenue you can pursue
