Any way to fix that?

I thought I would post this here as its not really phone specific but i have a ZTE (kis lite v790)
I've found ROMs for it but they are from other providers. the signed update.zip checks if your phone is from the right provider and exits if it doesn't match. All the rooting attempts on my phone have failed and if i edit the update.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script it fails the signature check.
how on earth am i supposed to update my phone?
nobody has any advice?
Huawei was ending it's bootloader program, so I unlocked bootloader in my Huawei Mate 10 Pro - just in case, for the future.
I only unlocked bootloader, and that's all.
But now I want to use Google Pay, and I can't, and I think it's because of unlocked bootloader - Google Play says this device is not certyfied and when I tried SafetyNet Test - it failed.
Can I do anything about it? Huawei support(HiCare) says it's because of unlocked bootloader and I lost my warranty because of it, and they do not help with such cases.
You can use magisk and magisk hide props to change your device id so it can pass safety net check. You'll have root and still be able to use Google pay.
same issue here, i hate huawei now since they made me to use their launcher. im gonna drop them.
I've been rooting and modding android phones in the past 3 years. Recently, I got a used Galaxy S9 (model G960F) and tried to root it. After literally a whole week of researching and numerous trials and testings, I came to the conclusion that the Galaxy S9 G960F is not root-able. So, to save you some time and energy, don't try to root it. It will NOT work. Unless someone comes up with a bypass to the "RMM State: Prenormal" while the "OEM Unlock" is off, and "KG: Checking."
This is what happens:
After turning ON the "OEM Unlock," the RMM State will remain PRENORMAL while the KG is CHECKING. KG State is good, but it's almost impossible to bypass the RMM State unless you already successfully flashed TWRP. But to successfully flash TWRP, you will need to unlock RMM State first.
You're welcome!
After rooting my Z2 and backing up the TA partition, I've discovered that the bootloader is not unlockable (it's a Vodafone branded device).
Is there a nefarious way in which to bypass this? I understand that the whole point is to keep it locked, but it's an old enough device so I may have missed where it's possible.
Otherwise what are my options for an up-to-date custom rom? As indicated, I've already achieved root and have TWRP installed. I tried flashing Lineage via recovery but got an E: unknown command [log] error.
I'm in the same boat unfortunately. I bought a used phone that had Vodafone UK. It was marked as SIM-unlocked, and that seems to be true; the service info doesn't show any filled checkmarks nor counters in SIM lock information. However, bootloader seems to be locked forever - flashtool reports "Bootloader status : NOT_ROOTABLE" and phone's service menus also say that rooting status is "bootloader unlock allowed: no".
I wasn't even aware there are Sony phones that are not SIM-locked but are still boot-locked without any way to unlock.
I would really want to upgrade from Android 6 to at least 7 because there are some specific apps that work only from A7. Wondering if there is any custom ROM that would run on stock A6 kernel but with everything else from A7? It should be possible to install such a ROM even on a bootlocked device, right?
Since posting I've discovered some answers. The bad news is that, no, custom ROMs are limited without an unlocked bootloader.
The potentially good news is that you can pay for an aftermarket SIM unlock, which has the side effect of also allowing the bootloader to be unlocked.
I've not tried it myself, but do a search for "Sony cable unlock credits" for some leads.
Yea I also am stumbling upon this same news, in my city there are some shady areas so I will ask around and see if anyone is capable of doing it and will let you know.
So far my phone has bootloader locked, sim locked with 3 attempts left so I will work on unlocking those and then rooting the phone and digging deep after
Lets cross our fingers that somethings comes up
So far online , I find only old videos and outdated information, websites down and nothing else.
One thing is for sure, if your bootloader can be unlocked, you just go to sony official website and follow their instructions and its free and easy,
But if it says ""bootloader unlock allowed: no" then...lets see what can we do.
Hey I am willing to pay, why not if its going to unlock the bootloader 100%
My own unlocking option is greyed out. I got the phone from T-Mobile. Is there any way to bypass that at all? Maybe root or flash using termux or Andronix?? Anyone have any super bright ideas? Lol
Unfortunately no, you won't be able to bypass that protection until T-Mobile lets you network unlock the device. The check is done with a device specific identifier over the internet these days, and as a result even the international ROM won't allow you to BL unlock the device until the network unlock is done. Modifying any verified partition will result in a "device untrusted" bootloop. The best you can do is make sure the phone has seen 40 days on the account, has been fully paid for, and the account is in good standing according to what I gathered from unlocking my own N10 from them.
