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...

Run the adb "debloater" script here if you have a T-Mobile device:
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...

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 the Mini Pro and I just looked in the service menu and found "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No" . Now I haven't unlocked it myself, I have only flashed the global official software. Does this mean my phone will accept custom kernels or will it brick if I try?
Thanks
First of all there isnt such thing as a stupid question. Its only easier to answer. You cannot access fastboot without unlocking the bootloader, and you cant install a custom kernel without fastboot. You need to unlock it.
thanks for your reply.
OK so fastboot is needed to flash custom kernel. got that. But even though it says "Bootloader Unlock Enabled:No" I am still able to unlock it and enable fastboot correct?
Thanks
Yes, you have to use a 3rd party app. Cant remember the name, do some research. Its somewhere in the Development for our devices.
In this page http://androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/
says: If you see Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No that means bootloaders are already unlocked
What? No dude... When it says NO it means the bootloader is carrier locked...

This is what made me ask the question. But after looking on here http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions
it says "2.In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked."
which made me suspect that I may not be able to unlock it whatsoever
have you bought your phone through carrier? its on contract? if yes, then sorry you cant unlock its bootloader
YES YOU CAN! But you have to pay... Or i think its for free now. Stop talking without doing some basic research first.

There. You can unlock your device by paying. THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTISMENT IT IS SIMPLY TO STOP THESE DAMN POSTS REGARDING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKING.

why are you yelling at us? keep respect, i was assuming that he knows about carrier unlocking.
I am not yelling at you. I am just sick and tired of hearing this crap about Unlocked Bootloader: No and how to solve it.
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.

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?

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..

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.

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!
I just got this phone from Boost Mobile and sent away for an unlock code. Afterwards I wanted put on a very basic ROM.
I havent done this is a while and saw some instructions on how to root and unlock the boot loader. Is rooting necessary?
Also, the stock roms people were posting are for the XT-2041 Sofia. Will this work? Thanks for any guidance.

I'm not rooted, but have Resurrection Remix installed. So, no.
I think its not possible for Boost Mobile Moto G Power (2021)
The OEM Unlock is greyed out and I cannot get it unlocked. The phone has internet, I had to activate it and get a line, but it still wouldnt unlock.
I think this is the main first step to being able to do anything? Is there ways around it?

Probably not.
Sometimes the allow oem unlock toggle is greyed out for a few days.
For some software channels, there is a delay that starts after connecting the internet.
Also sometimes a factory reset is necessary, then reconnect to internet.
Thanks for the info. I tried the factory reset without any luck. I guess Ill wait a few days and see if it unlocks.
I waited a couple days and OEM unlock toggle worked! I've unlocked the bootloader. Thanks for the help!
So, am I correct in assuming I’m unable to do anything with this device until I can sim unlock? Seems that’s a requirement for boot loader unlock. I got one of these for cheap cheap because I need an android device with out gapps but I’m thinking that’s not going to work until it’s sim unlocked. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

A couple pages back there is a thread on how to oem unlock without sim unlock. It involves running a debloat script or using adb to get rid of one service. It goes through every step you need to do to unlock.

No problem, it takes almost exactly a week to the hour to get the code. Rest of the guide should be fairly easy to follow too. Just remember if you ever you the MSMTool to get back to stock it relocks your bootloader. You'll need to unlock it again by using the file OP sends you before flashing other nonstock firmwares again

Once you get the code, you can simply use my dummies guide to full rom backup, convert to US OEM (DE2117), and root and has the "oem unlock bypass" command in the guide.
