are you actually sure? like, Nokia just doesn't let you unlock their phones' bootloader, plus he doesn''t have my device, so how is he able to develop a tool to unlock it?

are you actually sure? like, Nokia just doesn't let you unlock their phones' bootloader, and I actually asked someone on Discord if there's another way, and they said I need to use the EDL tool with a flash file that contains an unlock key, but both I (and they) do not know how to make the file

The poster found a patch of bootloader and I used it to unlock 8.3 bootloader and eventually rooted it.

cool, but there's no support for the Nokia X10, it's just released last June, and the poster might not support my phone

Well, apparently they do not support my model (which is the X10). Their tool can only detect the phone, not unlock its bootloader

Well, Nokia/HMD wants to have their phones and tablets deadlocked, and 8.3 is my only and final Nokia Android phone.
No more.

Good Morning,
I have arrived at this thread looking for how to unlock the bootloader of my Nokia X10/X20 for later rooting it.
It seems that there is no way to do it.
To do Root I have found this link (is in Spanish): https://www.ayudaroot.com/root/nokia/como-hacer-root-al-nokia-x10/
The option «Enable OEM unlocking», comes in gray and is not accessible, with which I have not been able to apply this solution.
I have found this other article: How to Unlock Bootloader on Any Nokia Smartphone.
Someone has tried?
If the answer is affirmative, does it work?
If nobody has tried it, do you think it can work?
All the best

Nope, the "buying unlock bootloader keys" (I meant the thing in the "How to Unlock Bootloader on Any Nokia Smartphone" article, the official way also does not work anymore, due to the site is dead) way does not work on the Nokia X10/20 (the creators of those keys confirmed with me that it's literally impossible to unlock those phones and potentially any future Nokia phones).
The "Enable OEM unlocking" should not be not accessible, my Nokia X10 does not have that option greyed out.
About the tool used in the Spanish site? I'm not so sure about whether it will work or not. The tutorial video shows a different phone, but it seems so legit. Try it at your own risk, I guess.

Good morning,
Thank you very much for the answer, but I inform you:
My phone is new, just arrived from the provider (Nokia directly).
-Modelo: TA1332.
-Compilation 00WW_1_070.
-Android 11.
-Actualization May 5, 2021
I have not modified anything, and I assure you that the «Enable OEM Unlocking» option, is gray and is not accessible.
A rectification, I think.
The link in Spanish: https://www.ayudaroot.com/root/nokia/como-hacer-root-al-nokia-x10/#comment-41075
In the article, not in the video; It refers to a Qualcomm chip, but requires that the "Enable OEM Unlocking" option is unlocked.
Three questions apart:
1.- Is there any way to root this smartphone?
2.- Is this option valid to make a backup of the ROM?: [Tutorial] How to use Miracle Box to backup Qualcomm Android firmware
3.- And is it to restore the ROM?: [Tutorial] How to use Miracle Box / Thunder to flash firmware to Qualcomm devices

Apparently, the creators of the site that sells bootloader unlocking keys for Nokia phones said that you should ignore sites like the Spanish link, because those websites write similar content for every device that exists and just replace the device name and publish it again, then again for another device. But I guess you can try using it and see, I guess?
For the first question, I don't think you can root the phone with Magisk? You need some files inside the ROM file, but there's no ROM files for Nokia X10/20.
For the second and third question, I do not know if the tool even works. I do ask the creators of that site (again), and I quote:
I don't think they will work. The only way to trigger EDL on the device would be to disassemble and then short the testpoint to trigger EDL. But what next? What do you aim to do while in EDL mode?
We do not know which bytes are written on the chip that remembers the unlocked status. So, even in EDL mode, there isn't much that we can tinker and re-write to the device. I am also unsure if the user firmware that hmd ships to the Nokia Care includes EDL programmer, they never did for the Nokia 7.2 (the last Nokia device I really tried to play around with). Without the programmer, none of the EDL flash tools will work and we can't load just any programmer. It has to be signed by the OEM. A wrong/invalid/modified firehose programmer can put the device into a non-recoverable state.
HMD hasn't done much magic into making the phones more appealing to the buyers. But they have money and time to make more mess behind the scenes to make their devices more secure (which they think is better).
Sorry for the rant, but there's no meaningful ways to unlock the Nokia X10/20 and possibly any forthcoming phone.

In conclusion: It's impossible, but you can try? (Try it at your own risk of course, you could brick the whole thing, and nothing will fix it.) I do not even know if it's possible or not, so... eh?

AltFantasy said:
Also, next time you buy a phone, just go buy a Samsung/Xiaomi or whatever brand that do support unlocking their phones' bootloader and pray that the phone you bought in the future got tons of custom ROMs ported to it or something, Nokia thinks that locking their phones' bootloader will make those phones more secure, which is purely bull****. If you ABSOLUTELY have to buy a Nokia phone however, go buy an older one, cause the site with unlock keys only support those old phones, and it might be impossible to even unlock new phones coming from Nokia in the future.

Good afternoon,
Thank you very much for all the information you have given me.
It has no solution, I bought an X10 and an X20, because they have Android One and will have updates for 3 years.
I thought I could unlock it and do root, and I see that it is impossible or it is very difficult.

Wait, you bought both? Well, if you're trying to root them, then too bad, it's literally impossible. But if you're just using both phones normally, I would say: They're actually pretty good! The specs are great for medium gaming, the build quality is really nice, the cameras are not bad honestly. They're slightly overpriced, but they felt nice enough to use daily. Too bad Nokia ruined these phones with the bootloader unlocking problem though, and I swear I'll never buy a Nokia again, cause of this problem, even though they might be one of the best phones I've ever used.

Good evening,
I have tried to do what they explain in the article in Spanish: https://www.ayudaroot.com/root/nokia/como-hacer-root-al-nokia-x10/ and it has been impossible to do anything.
I have found the following problems:
1.- The option "Enable OEM unlocking", comes in gray and is not accessible on the smartphone.
2.- You can not extract the "boot.img" file, because at the link that explains how to do it: https://www.ayudaroot.com/actualizar/alternativa-para-conseguir-la-rom-de-un-telefono-movil/ do not explain how to do it for this smartphone, which is "Qualcomm", not "MTK"; with which it is impossible to extract it.
3.- The "Qualcomm" and «ADB» drivers that are installed with the application are not worth connecting the Nokia X10 to the computer, I had to uninstall them so that the computer itself detects the smartphone.
4.- You can not unlock the bootloader in the way they explain it, so nothing can be done.
5.- The video of the end still confuses more, it is not for this smartphone or a similar one.
Therefore, the item is not useful.
Better forget it and not waste time.
Greetings

After installing all security updates, it has also been made accessible.
It is no longer gray, but it does not work for nothing, since there is no way to unlock it.

also, I think you should try contacting their customer service, and hope that they'll accept or something. If not, keep on annoying them with the "Can you unlock my phones' bootloaders?" question, and see if they will answer or not.

Hey brothers , am a random guy looking forward to get my brand new Nokia x10 soon. And according to all paragraphs I read above it seems the main thing I need from this device apart from daily usage is inaccessible which it ""unlocking the bootloader"* But am not totally sure if it's still impossible because it's almost a year since you're conversing and it seemed to be impossible according to what I've looked at in your Conversations. Back to the topic- I got a Nokia service-center in my area here so I need your advise if I'll be able to take there the Nokia x10 and they unlock the bootloader "Incase I buy it" on their end because there have access to everything I assume whereas they're working for Nokia but it looks risky for me to get a device before am sure if it'll go up with what I need from it.......In conclusion if any of you knows a method to unlock the bootloader currently "because it's almost a year when it was impossible". You may advise me before making the mistake I'll regret. Goodnight

The LG L52VL from ST/TF

OK, So I purchased this LG Treasure about a month ago and of course. I'd like to root it, Problem is Tracfone has this thing locked down tight. the bootloader/Recovery is not accessable. If you do the volume down/power button combo, it only brings you to a Factory date rest option. . I went to LG support and had a chat with them. I was informed by the tech that the bootloader access has been disabled. I asked if there was a way to enable access and he said that there is a way but he is not allowed to tell me and suggested that i come here to inquire. So i am hoping some here might be able to help, I don't even care if brick this device , it's worthless as is. Adb will see the device but fastboot will not leading me to think it's disabled by the carrier as the tech suggested. So any help would be greatly appreciated. Some one please point me in the right direction with anything i can try . Thanks All.

thank you..

Thank you so much for posting this question as I have that same issue. Your question was well put. Yet no one has responded. I hope there is a solution to this issue. :good:

these questions regarding the rooting of the lg treasure, which is my phone ironically, brings us to 1 definate answer, and that is that tf already knows how to unlock the bootloader, and thus, root the phone. it seems logical if any other tf/st phone has a similar os/locked bootloader that has been rooted, we might try those, or find someone recently seperated from the employment of tf who may spill the beans perse. just my input.

Thank you for giving me some hope lol. But still I have had no luck rooting this phone. Pretty aggravating. It's a decent phone and all. Sad they ruin it by locking it.

oem unlock
Did you first go and turn on oem unlock in the developers section of the phone? It is required by many phones under loli to unlock the bootloader. Might need to turn on usb debugging too in order for fastboot to be able to access the bootloader to get root on the phone.

My OEM unlock option has been enabled. However I have had no luck at all rooting this phone. It's unfortunate. Again I'm asking any developers available to please work on this project. The LG treasure is a very popular phone. Not only because of the price, But the features the phone has. Please I have done my best getting this phone to root.. But I'm out of ideas.

I have the lg rebel 2 lte and same problem. There is of course a way, their official unlocking policy is they'll grant us the unlock after a year of service paid. So they charge you for the device then charge you for a whole year for full access to said device. $$$
But lg has an official developer thing now where they'll email you the unlock.bin file to unlock it.
However the only; and I can't stress this enough, the ONLY problem is they've coded the bootloader to skip fastboot entirely. Somewhere between the first and second splash screen the bootloader and fastboot are working, soon as it shows the tracfone logo that's when you know its booting android. I have yet to figure out how to read the logs of the boot process to see how.
Yes, enable oem unlock and usb debugging.
However everyone with a new lg phone under any of the tracfone subsidiaries will find that those options don't matter. There must be a dialer code for the bootloader deal.

Samsung Galaxy A10e - Is this the right place to be???

Hi!
I recently purchased a Verizon-build Samsung Galaxy A10e (the "economy Flagship" / little-brother of the A10) but XDA has very little information on this phone. Would this be the best place to try to find/request information?
Thanks for your help!

where can i get more developer information on this phone

Give it some time before developers start posting, since the phone was released only a couple of monthes ago. It will be a good minute before you start seeing significant posts for the galaxy a10 e. Keep updating by searching on a regular basis. Check howardforums or android central as well.
On another note:
Some of us need to know the a10e galaxy update to android 10, anyone got then lastest news on that yet? I got one with metro pcs.
Thx
Sent from my SM-A102U using Tapatalk

yea like alot of sites keep saying galaxy a10e will not be getting android 10 and one ui 2.0 but the fail to see samsung own site says they will probavly in may or june of 2020

Also using an SM-A102U device, I believe the official Android 10 date is sometime in the first half of 2020. I believe March.
What would really help us is pHH-Treble support for these devices and Android 10, which I can't find any info for, aside from a GSI post on the Galaxy a20, which has (essentially) the same Exynos chip.

It's not off exactly. Kinda reminds me of system crash on eng fac roms. I've seen articles about older devices and it meaning no battery or no charging like you say. Guess I got over excited for nothing lol. Though it might be a hackable situation etc or different mode of some kind.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yea.. and fyi, a common misconception is "eng fac" roms are two completely different things lol.. it's a pet peeve of mine which I owe to all the firmware sites and generic "guides" on the web lol.
They always refer to factory/combo roms as "eng" when they are not eng at all.. fac roms are debuggable (ro.debuggable=1) and permissive and adb enabled by default and dmv disabled with a bare bone os mainly used for testing or fixing issues with the device.
Eng on the other hand is typically a stockish build with su binary by default (allows actual adb root shell) is permissive, verity disabled, contains other high level engineering software etc etc that is supposed to be used by engineers to test their software and things of that nature. My sampwnd root for s8/s8+ for example used eng system.img to gain root. Older devices did have eng boot.img many used to root devices but since s8 and newer they are no longer used because samsung implemented security measures to where u cant flash or run them without an eng token and device being in actual eng mode. Eng tokens are hard to find as they are device specific and need to be generated on samsung servers at which if u can find someone willing to make one they are usually expensive since they need to have a legit business, purchase a signing cert from samsung to be able to generate eng tokens as well as they typically need to also pay for each individual token which just the signing cert alone I've heard various prices from thousands to 100k lol. Then after all that if you have an eng token and device is in eng mode then it's not the same as a bl unlock as you would need to flash eng firmware which is another adventure to locate and probably another pretty penny.
Rant on eng/fac differences is over lmao.
On a side note, I'm working on something that "might" work... according to my dev buddies it will work.. it's a process tho as I need to generate some custom files and I never did this before (I mainly use usa locked snaps) .. but if all goes as planned with some trickery could probably unlock the bl and at the very least root the device.. stay tuned lol

I also tried (with my limited knowledge here) to enable OEM bootloader unlock by changing the settings flag in the phone but have not had luck. I talk about what I tried to do/have a screenshot showing where the system has it looked in this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...rint-oem-lock-developer-t3963898/post80909957
I have also looked at using Tasker/other tools to try to change something here or to see if there's an intent or action or something that will trigger the unlock but haven't had luck.

timba123 said:
So since this is the only A10e root thread. I'll post here. After browsing the internet I found out that Samsung changed some security. Now fac combo cant be flashed with 3.14 odin which newer devices like our A10e will not work with odin 3.13 and before patched or not. A new odin needs to be made. Patched. And the new Security for samsung.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This isnt new information. I do not think a new/patched odin will work since it uses a token system. Trying to flash will say you need approval to use factory binary.
With that being said you can use a factory bin token which will then allow you to flash combo rom.
There are ways to bypass need for a token but they are not public.
Also tokens are device specific and if you can find someone to get them they are not free.

Side question that's not totally related but I'm finding conflicting answers online:
Does the A10e NOT have USB-OTG capabilities? :-/
I don't have a USB-C OTG cable to test myself. I realize this phone purposely does not have some features/capabilities that I guess are supposedly deemed more "premium," in order to keep this phone in a class I've heard described as "Economy-Flagship," (lol ). Hence: no wireless charging, no fingerprint reader, no gyroscope, no proximity sensor (this exclusion is kind of annoying - surely I can't be the only person experiencing the annoying phenomenon of chronic cheekbone-call-muting? ). But overall, I'm super happy with this phone!
I also wish I could disable Knox but I don't think that's possible without the OEM bootloader unlock setting enabled.

Sorry for my english. I'm looking for help ... i was 3 weeks in US and i lost my phone. So i buyed this A10e with boost mobile but i didn't activate it because they were trying to force me to buy a monthly subscription, wich i didn't... I bring the phone just for wifi use because is a phone with good specs for the price of 90$... and then the horror shows in a form of Harassing message ... trying to make me "accept terms and conditions" and then Boom the phone was restricted from data usage and other things, i tried to unlock the OEM and nothing, also i wipe the phone and it works fine but it keeps harassing with sudden appears of that screen asking if you accept, the icon of that screen is a peace of chess. So my question is ... Can i force an instalation of other rom? in sammobile is a international rom, so, even if i can't unlock the oem , can i install it? is there a way to root the device without the oem unlock? Thanks in advance

how do you expect people to flash it without a factory binary token?

Is OTP similar or related to the factory token? Like a password?

nope.. otp more of a one time password.. the token is something that uses device specific identifiers that then gets sent to a server where it gets signed and sent back.. then it needs to b physically flashed to the device

Question Is it possible to unlock the bootloader of the Oppo Find X3?

Wonder if anyone knows how to unlock the bootloader and root the Oppo Find X3 (not Pro)? This is the device that sits just below the Pro-Model - essentially same hardware with a slightly less capable CPU (Snapdragon 870 instead of 888). The device runs a version of ColorOs intended for the Chinese market only (at this stage). Easy to enable developer options, allow OEM unlocking and enable USB debugging. But so far I have not found a way to access fastboot mode and proceed to unlock the bootloader. Any ideas?

Waited 4 yrs to upgrade from a OnePlus5 and these Chinese system apps are such a downer. Glad to see you two on to the right questions.

I'm facing the same issue. Have activated USB debugging on my X3 Pro, but when I shut down and restart whilst also holding volume up button, it doesn't go in to fast boot. Is there a way of activating fast boot by plugging phone into computer?

The steps to enable developer mode? Go to About Phone, there you will see a screen with lots of info about the phone, including the OS. Tap on *Baseband & kernel", then you see three infos. There you click multiple times on "Build number", which will unlock developer mode. This you then find under "Additional settings" in the main settings. Then you can enable "OEM unlock" (which doesn't help unless you can access the bootloader and actually unlock it...) and "USB debugging". I'll survive without root for now, hoping some clever XDA devs will figure this device out eventually. It's an amazing phone, and I hope they will release a true international version of the firmware at some point, so I won't see the Chinese core-apps anymore...

Global phones have purposely has the fastboot command blocked, so even if there was a twrp there is no way to flash it, no matter what you do, holding volume down on boot, commands or any other method won't work. Chinese models I believe can have it done but need to download an app, then apply to have permission to unlock.

My phone IS a Chinese model; the regular FX3 (non-pro). With Oppo (cr)App Store and all sorts of China-centric rubbish. What is the name of the app that might let me access the bootloader?

Deeptest. Apk or in depth test.apk Google them a new version 1.1 was released three days ago but no info on what model phone it is for

Thanks for the tip. Among other things, I came across this:
OPPO Community
Talk, share, and learn everything about the beautiful possibilities of technology together with other OPPO fans.
community.coloros.com
Sounds like this is for devs only, and not yet for the FX3. So for now, I'll keep my hands off it - don't think I'm at the required skill level yet. But still - a good tip, and it gives me some hope that root access might be possible in the near future.

I have what I'm pretty sure is the global variant and I am able to enter fastbootd

Oh wow. Great! May I ask you to please share how you manged to pull that off? And once you accessed fastboot, did you e.g. manage to root the device? Please, also here, a "how" would be preferred over a "yes"?

Or is there a way to root the phone with apps like KingoRoot etc?

I'm not pro in this area, but i find this:

How to root Oneplus Nord 10 5g?

Hello group I interested in rooting my Oneplus n 10. Now I've been doing research for the past week and a half but it's very confusing. First off my oem is greyed out in developers my mode, and second I don't own a computer. I did DL LADB app but for some reason I can't find the code to do so. Can someone give me a guide or a easy way to do so? Thanks I appreciate it.

Need PC

What @VovaHouse said... I know of no way without a PC.
If you have the global model (e.g. carrier indifferent) the phone still needs to connect to the Google Spyware server once before the OEM switch is ungreyed out. There is another thread where it is claimed this can be bypassed, but it was never worth it for me to do.
If you have a carrier model, you need to get it unlocked, which, like the rooting, requires a PC AFAIK. Maybe buy a cheap used one or something? Once you are freed, it is no longer required.

General I won't ever be back here, thanks OP

They let a lot of problems go on. Explain to me why their software is locked. It's pretty easy to actually understand what happened OnePlus is trying to charge us money to go to support people to get our phones taken care of but that's silly to even think of.

What is locked?
Both bootloader and edl are unlocked ( bootloader unlockable via adb ? ) You don't have to contact customer support or anything?

Is this a MediateK phone?
I might be wrong then, I am assuming Qualcomm edl is usually unlocked?

SnapDragon 8g1. The 10 pro has edl test points and the 10T can boot into edl as well. But without an MSM tool, it's not worth the trouble. They require live authentication to sign the download and install. People are able to bypass the initial login for the msm tool but the next step has not been defeated yet. At least not publicly on xda.
My understanding is the tool verifies login and then gets a key to sign with. There is some speculation that it may use multiple checks during the flash so one key isn't enough. There was also mention that the msm tool binds to the Mac address of your nic and will fail if it's not on the whitelist.
That means you must send your phone back to OP if you brick outside of what fastboot can handle. I returned the 10T to get a 9P. While preparing to send it back, I locked the 10T bootloader back up before swapping boot images so I sent them back a brick on accident. . But, that's the problem. It's that easy and you're without a phone for a few weeks. I've also read that OP handles China different in that they charge for certain services. There was recently a development in the "edl tool" thread where someone from China was unbricked remotely but that agent had a valid login to sign the install.
I am planning to hop over to Nothing Phone after my 9P dies. I certainly won't be back to OP as long as they ship that ColorOS "OxygenOS" hybrid garbage and no MSM tool. With an MSM, we would at least get good rom development to have a better/real OOS experience.
Also, I've been with OnePlus for years. Until recently, I haven't had to use their customer service since they merged with Oppo. It got much worse. OnePlus is dead

Wow thanks for the explanation... Never owned OP and just assumed they'd offer access EDL / bootloader unlike other manufacturers...
Doss nothing phone offer edl access without third party approvals? Current Nothing phone is bad pairing of hardware... definitely not on my list unless there's access to edl?

I'm not positive about NP edl mode. I do know they have a method to unbrick available, using fastboot and critical unlock to flash any/all partitions if I remember right. And the full source tree is also available. It's also 'believed' that Nothing will make reasonable efforts for developers because of Carl Pei. It is believed he was the main reason for OP's dev friendly nature prior to 2020/oppo merge/his departure.
I wrote to Nothing and asked them to provide us dev friendly devices so we can fall in love and get our friends and family on Nothing devices just like we did with OnePlus. They replied and said they look forward to making the device of our dreams in the future.
I know they need a little time to see what works and what sells. I want to support but it won't be the NP1. Maybe the 2 for support. I imagine my 9p will last a good while, my 5T is still a great phone after all these years. It can even play cod mobile still
