Is there a way to unlock the bootloader on a rooted smartphone ?
I found information about the Huawei.
There, the unlock code "16 digit character" is in the file mmcblk0p7.
File path...
HiSilicon -> /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/nvme
For MTK -> /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/boot
For my smartphone, I could not find something like that.
Maybe someone has ideas about the Unlock Code.
Can it be in open form in block folders, if so how to find it ?
Or maybe there is another way to unlock the bootloader if there is root access on the phone ?
Thanks
how do you rooted this f*©k€D up phone ?? im trying hard to root this phone but i can't root it please tell me how you rooted this phone

Dear fellows,
I got a Alcatel One Touch Evolve 5020T (T-mobile) from US as a gift.
When I put my India's SIM card into it, it says network locked.
On searching XDA (and other) forums, I learnt that the SIM slot is locked. In MTK Engineering mode, the option of SIM ME lock (unlock) is grayed out.
I tried to use SP Flash tools using the scatter file but I get an error - Secure Baseband. Need auth file. I dont know where to get this auth file from.
I tried using Alcatel One Touch Upgrade S 2.8.0 software as well. I used the model number - 5020. But the moment I connect my switched-off phone, it says - "Read terminal information failed, Unplug device, remove battery and try again..." [Screenshot attached]
Questions:
1. Is there anyway to reset the firmware...so that the SIM ME Lock menu can re-appear?
2. I have the NCK code with me (from a trustable source), is there anyway to directly push it to the phone and unlock it?
3. Are there any special tools available to directly unlock this phone?
I am not an expert at this, but have working knowledge of linux/android.
Any possible answers?

Not sure why you never got any responses. I know this is about 18 months late but hopefully it will help someone else with similar question on Alcatel OT 5020T.
1. Is there anyway to reset the firmware...so that the SIM ME Lock menu can re-appear? You can get to the SIM ME lock menu by dialing *#*#3646633#*#*
2. I have the NCK code with me (from a trustable source), is there anyway to directly push it to the phone and unlock it? No. You can´t "push" unlock codes into a phone. It has to be processed (the phone has to "ask" for an unlock code first).
3. Are there any special tools available to directly unlock this phone? Yes. GB-Key, SigmaKey and other dongles can DIRECTLY unlock the 5020 and a wide variety of Alcatel models without any unlock codes. But those tools are quite expensive and only make sense if you are providing a commercial unlock service.
Hi,
I have an Ilike U5 (I think it should be an Alcatel U5?), with MT6580 hardware.
I want to root this one, and i can't.
Unlocked the bootloader at first (with adb,fastboot), then there was no way to root.
/cmd fastboot getvar all -> it says bootloader unlocked.
BUT! I downloaded a My Device app (v1.7) and at the Device menu the 'Boot Loader' is 'unknown'. (?) /
I tried Kingoroot, iRoot, and a lot of way from android to PC.
"It's too solid to root"
Is there chinese mobiles that can not be rooted?
Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks,

Hello,
I've been trying to Root my Samsung C7 SM-C7000 phone but I keep getting the error that my phone is factory locked.
Is there a way to overcome this or unlock the phone?
I have read some threads about Enabling OEM Unlock in Developer Options, unfortunately this OEM Unlock is not available in my Developer Options menu no matter how much I tried getting it available by resetting dates.. etc.
Can anyone please help?
Can anyone help regarding this matter please??

If option OEM unlock isn't offered in Developer options then phone's boot-loader can't get unlocked: Live with it.
Is it confirmed that OEM unlocking cannot be turned on on my device?
It's Samsung Galaxy C7 SM-C7000
Only to have said it: To root device's Android ( Android 6.0.1 ? ) it's not a prerequisite that phone's boot-loader got unlocked before.
The software on it is Android 8.0.0
I have tried to Root it and it said Factory locked.

You probably did it the wrong way.
Well in the download mode it shows me "Installation Failure" and under it
"You need to unlock your device to install a custom OS"
"For more information how to unlock visit samsung.com/cn"
I have even tried Rooting by going through recovery mode then selecting Reboot into Boot-loader, Same error.
@KHAWaNAWA
Look inside here.
Tried that too, same error still, phone is locked.
Hello everyone,
I am wondering if there are any ways to know if the Huawei P20 Lite has its bootloader unlocked or not without erasing all of its datas. I am looking for a way to root it without paying for its bootloader code, as I am unsure if these are scams or if my phone is already unlocked.
I bought it on amazon, it's not affiliated to any mobile company, so I thought maybe it's unlocked... Or are the mobile company lock different from the bootloader lock ? It's also from EU (France); ANE-LX1 (C109) model.
I am a complete neophyte into this, as the only other phone I ever root was a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which was a very easy task.
I saw guides on how to root it without its bootloader code but I have no idea which to trust. I don't ask for you to search for me; I have tabs and tabs opened but I am also anxious by the idea of trying anything that could lock it and force me to pay for its bootloader.
Thanks for your answers ! Have a good day ! (6:25 am when I'm writing this here ^^)
EDIT : Well the more I read about rooting it the more I'm thinking it's not for newcomers.. Any tips/easy guides ? Because I feel like every guides I found are assuming that you already know things.. Which I don't :c

Hello,
- "I am wondering if there are any ways to know if the Huawei P20 Lite has its bootloader unlocked or not" -
everytime the phone starts up, it goes to a screen saying: "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted..." (the most reliable method)
- "Or are the mobile company lock different from the bootloader lock ?" - yes, you can check SIM-lock status in "Project menu" - dial *#*#2846579#*#* from the phone dialer, select Network Information Query > SIM Lock Info
- "how to root it without its bootloader code but I have no idea which to trust." - best way to brick your phone
If you intend to unlock your bootloader , you have to downgrade to Oreo - EMUI 8.0 via HiSuite , then you must downgrade to lower build number with Google patch 04.2018-06.2018 . Now you can get bootloader unlock code for 4euros - DC-Unlocker.com or hcu-client.com.
Each bootloader code is permanent, it wont expire, you can use the same bootloader code to unlock if your bootloader will be lock again for some reason.
For further explanations try asking here.

Hello!
I'm having some troubles to find a way to root this phone since a lot of the post I've found say that it's not possible to root the Oppo A9 CPH1941 due to the locked bootloader, now in the dev settings I have a check for locking or unlocking the bootloader so I guess that shouldn't be a problem for me? So how can I go forward in this? I need the root because I have to access smb from another android device and I've failed, I can access the smb on my ubuntu pc but not the android device.
Can anybody indicate me to a guide please?
I have a windows computer, a ubuntu computer and a fedora laptop if it's needed for the root.
Also is it possible to root the phone without deleting the data in it?
Thanks and sorry for my lack of experience but I don't touch android root and stuff since my Galaxy Next Turbo lol
Me too
I am still waiting for solution unlock bootloader A9 2020 Qualcomm.
