As the title says, i have a phone which has "bootloader UNLOCK allowed:no" set. My phone is career free. Is there any way to change that to yes?
My phone is E5823 i'm on Firmware E5823_32.0.A.6.200_R4B_Australia Generic_1298-7260.
I need this to root my phone.
Normally it's not possible. If your device says bootloader UNLOCK allowed:no then there is little to no chance in unlocking the bootloader.

Is there any chance then to root my phone without bootloader unlocking? I am using windows pc.
Go to about phone, tab your buildnumber ten times, congratulations you are now a developer.
Go to developer options, switch Enable OEM Unlock to yes.
Follow this: http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
Congrats, you are now able to root.

Enabling OEM didn't do anything. Still unable to unlock bootloader.
Will using PRF Creator method help with this?

No, you could temp root your phone with ivory root on a .200 firmware. But on one hand it's an outdayded show floor lollipop firmware and on the other hand root is only present 'till you reboot your phone.
And then there are the security features by sony that prevent permanent root access. And these features can't be deactivated without an unlocked bootloader.
So in short you're **** outta luck...
Sry dude

This method will not work for him because he's not allowed in unlocking the bootloader in the first place.
So there is no stable and easy to use method to root a locked bootloader phone on 2016?

Yes, there is currently no method avalible.
I suggest to sell the phone and buy an unlockable phone.
Sounds like a carrier locked phone. Ask your carrier for the unlock code.
On the latest t mobile software, dev mode enabled, but I dont see "OEM UNLOCK" anywhere...does anyone have that option on their note 8?
thanks

I think you use that TMO device unlock app.
I thought that was just for carrier unlock, NOT OEM unlock...have you used that app?

No, I disabled it. Been with TMO too long, I'm not going anywhere and neither are they. Thanks for teaching me the difference, lol! This bootloader is locked.
there are a few different "locks" to deal with on this phone; the bootloader, which is currently locked, carrier lock, meaning you are locked to tmobile, and the OEM unlock, which allows you to flash roms, both stock and custom, assuming you have an unlocked boot-loader
On most other phones, in the developer options, there is a OEM Unlock entry you activate if you plan on flashing anything...

The OEM Unlock option doesn't appear until 7 days after the device was first booted on the Exynos version. That might not be the case with your version because the bootloader is locked so the OEM Unlock toggle is redundant.
Have a read through this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/info-note-8-exynos-n950f-fd-oem-unlock-t3673140
I've had many phones with locked bootloaders in the past where the OEM unlock appeared in the dev options, so unless this is something new with the note 8. im not sure why its not there..

All the OEM unlock toggle does is allow you to flash a custom recovery so you can then flash custom ROMs only if the the bootloader is unlocked. If the bootloader is locked like on US snapdragon N8s having the toggle is pointless.
If you check out the thread linked above you'll see that a bunch of people with exynos versions that do have unlocked boot loaders are missing the toggle which later appears & disappears. No one knows why yet, all just speculation.
The N8 is the first to have this happen. What a big headache. Hopefully they figure it out. I'm one of the lucky with an exynos N8 without that issue.
yeah, its not a big deal, especially since there is no way to unlock this bootloader at this point anyways...weird that it comes on and off on the Exynos though..

Correct, for our t mobile USA ones, we will never get that OEM Unlock option in any amount of days.

We already have a root, it just wasn't released yet and it seems to be the same as S8, so with similar disadvantages. Expect to be out any day now.

Even if you get the OEM unlock toggle to appear it doesn't mean anything. If you have a locked bootloader the OEM unlock won't unlock it. OEM unlock is just a safety switch.

Oem needs to be unlocked before u can us cf autoroot or any other means of root I have j7 metro no oem unlock option tried to use Odin and cf auto root it failed because the bootloader is locked and can't be unlocked. I know this is for the n8 but I seem to be suffering from the same problem.
Lost without root

so i cant root or put twrp on my j727U ? SEEN PEOPLE DO IT WITH J727p so why not the U ? no oem toggle on a galaxy how is this, should all come together and never buy phones from a company that goes against what customers want.
so i cant root or put twrp recovery on my galaxy j727U ? ? how has a phone tech not beat this by now even without oem toggle , it should still be beat by now.. this is why i liked htc cause they unlock bootloader for you and allow it on there own page, anyone wanna trade a htc for a new galaxy j7 ?
lol i think this thread needs to be closed
Yes there is an OEM unlock option. I know because I discovered It! Simply flash the K2 combination file, when factory binary loads go into the left hand screen, with apps. Click on the settings icon, then enable dev options the usual way. OEM unlock should be there. You may need to toggle it off and on a few times before you get the popup security message.
It makes a change in the system as it should. If you do a factory reset, then reload the factory binary, you'll see that Dev Options are already enabled (saved from last time you unlocked) AND OEM will already be toggled. This means that the unlock sticks!
So there you go. It even changes the OEM line in the .prop.... that being said...
DO NOT TRY TO FLASH TWRP AFTER DOING THIS!!!
(I already tried, the secure boot still is in effect, and you'll have a softbrick until you can re Odin your recovery. )
The OEM unlock may be one part of this, but there's more. Hopefully we are making progress toward the goal of a bootloader unlock!

IS rebranding change bootloader unlock code ??
If you did it with funkyhuawei I think you are screwed. Read in the funky thread that rebranding changes something so fastboot can't read the imei correctly.

Already asked in the huawei thread if there is a solution.
Hope there is. Not intend to unlock again, because I tested all custom out there, but maybe I need to later.

Confusing thread, but please read the existing threads on this topic as there are a few.
You need to SIM unlock the phone before you can unlock its bootloader.
If you have the T-Mobile variant, check this thread to see if they can SIM unlock your phone:
[CLOSED][T-Mobile USA] Free SIM Unlocking Service - [OnePlus/Samsung/Google/LG/Moto]
Hello XDA, I am back at it again with the free T-Mobile network unlocks. Yep, you heard that right... 100% FREE. This service will allow you to go into your Settings and perform a network unlock. I've been doing this for over 3 years now with...

Found a chink in the armor... Just enabled OEM unlocking after 11 update...
I haven't got a lot of time to get this out before heading out on a job, so here's the nitty gritty. A few days ago I flashed over "OnePlus_Nord_N10_5G_Metro_by_T-Mobile_OxygenOS_10.5.8" to get a clean start. I then allowed 10.5.14 to install...
forum.xda-developers.com
No need to reboot, once you finish that, going into Developer options should allow you to set OEM Unlocking to whatever you want. Easy peasy.
If it is from T-Mobile, you'll need to go into bootloader to get the serial, unlock code, and IMEI to submit a ticket to Oneplus for an Unlock Token and then wait a week to get it.
You can skip all of that if it's direct from OnePlus - just toggle OEM unlocking in developer options then go into bootloader mode and 'fastboot oem unlock'.
I have had 2 phones both should been able to OEM Unlockable. x0032. I verified that is unlockable. I disable google play stuff. I think maybe the OEM unlock is related to google setup and google is the one OEM unlocking the devices. Any thoughts?
Google services is not related by OEM unlocking in any ways

Then what is? I have two phones that aren't unlocked. One I had for almost a year, CID's are unlockable on the CID list. Tried reset, ect. Something I am doing is disabling it from being unlocked since 100% sure the devices are unlockable.
Has anyone had success unlocking their phone without google services running or doing the intial google setup when resetting phone?
No, you dont need google to do that, They work without google.
Can you give the ss or logs of the error

Then what would explain two phones not being able to OEM unlock?
1.) Cid matches up with list of OEM unlockable phones on both devices
2.) Had internet connection (one for over a year)
3.) Tried every method under the sun listed to unlock it including over 10+ factory resets.
The only thing I didn't do is the setup thing at the start of clean install which is a google setup and contacts google servers.

It is the OEM gray out, not bootloader unlock. Is there a way to log that? Also I appreciate the responsiveness I get on these forums. I will try my best to provide anything possible that obviously isn't personally identifying information.

It is definitely not unlocked. The "OEM_Locked" In the bootloader text is reason I know.

That's the thing, the OEM unlocking is still greyed out on both devices. Both moto devices, both on the list of oem unlocking according to CID. They are not the same devices also. It is really strange.
Then your phone depends on Google Framework and Services,
Then flash into custom ROMs, that would help to unlock bootloader

Flashing rom needs unlocked bootloader and flashing rom does not unlock bootloader

First of all you can't flash a custom rom without unlocked bootloader that I am aware of. Secondly, I am not even at the step of unlocking the bootloader, I am trying to OEM unlock first so I can unlock the bootloader.
Do I have to make a sacrifice to the Motorola gods in exchange for OEM unlocking?
