That's not a proper unlock bootloader..it is safe unlock bootloader using unlock tools from xiaomi. If you unlock the bootloader to CMD it's a chance to brick. I think the proper to unlock is xiaomi tools

You must unlock bootloader first
Does uypur phone show the authorization popup when you connect for adb and have you allowed always allow this device?
What are you all talking about in this thread?
There is NO WAY to initially unlock the bootloader without MI account, phoning home and waiting 167+hours.
PERIOD. let that sink in.

I have the Huawei Ascend Y300-0151 and am trying to unlock the bootloader, in which I cannot get through their website because it's really buggy and won't accept my information.
So these are the steps I've taken:
- Download SDK Manager and install platform-tools and Google USB Driver
- Boot my phone up and connect to the PC
- I can run the command 'adb devices' and my device shows with a unique ID.
- Boot my phone into recovery/download mode (purple screen).
- Connect my phone, the PC detects it.
- However, when I run the command 'fastboot devices', nothing shows up.
Yes, I have installed a driver for my device and it's now showing as Android Bootloader Interface.
I've run out of ideas and have been googling for answers for a very long time, but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Given that your attempting to unlock the bootloader of your Huawei device, you should probably send an email to Huawei support requesting for your bootloader unlock code (thats what I did and they replied asking for my device information, and I gave it to them to which I then got my unlock code). For ADB to work you need to boot into fastboot mode, not recovery, then simply use the bootloader unlock code with the following command in cmd: fastboot oem unlock <insert your code here>
And then your done. Be cautious when unlocking your bootloader as you should make sure you have your developer options enabled and the "allow bootloader to be unlocked" option enabled as well.

I have e-mailed them 2 weeks ago and they are not replying. You're meant to do it through their website, but as I've said, I supply the correct information and it either re-directs to a page that is not there or says I am not entering my information correctly when I've done it over and over again.
The purple screen is fastboot mode isn't it? Because that's the screen I'm entering the commands in, but it's not showing up. I cannot enter in a code for fastboot oem unlock because my device will not be recognized by fastboot in the first place.
So before I am to unlock my bootloader, I'm trying to get my device recognized by fastboot.

You can send them an email to get the unlock code, trust me, thats what I did. Maybe try contacting them via their support section of their site if you didn't do so last time.
By the "purple screen" do you mean the screen with options such as "HBOOT", "Fastboot", "Reboot" etc.? The "fastboot devices" command should work if it is recognised by the command "adb devices"

I'll give it a go again, thanks.
By purple screen, I mean holding down the power button and both volume control buttons and the screen boots into a purple screen. Just a purple screen, that's it. I can boot into two other modes by holding down the power button and the volume up button and another by holding the power button and volume down button. I don't have a boot mode that displays any options as you've listed above.
EDIT: I'm in fastboot mode now! It was the mode where you hold down the power button and volume down button. Hahaha. I'll let you know how I get on with unlocking the bootloader. Thanks for your help
No problem, if you found my replies helpful please press the thanks button! It is much appreciated!

To enable OEM, you must first reveal the hidden developer options tab (i'm not so sure) but go to Settings>About Device then find the build number. Tap it 7 times or more then it should say "You are now a developer". After that, exit from about device and you can see the Developer options. Tap it and find OEM unlock. Enable it.
To flash twrp recovery via odin, simply download the twrp for your device. Search google for "twrp for j100h". Download latest version of Odin, install it then run it as administrator. Click Phone then find the .tar file of twrp. Flash it then wait for it to say PASS!! in a green background. You now flashed twrp to your Samsung Phone.
Hope it helps!

OEM unlock option not available on all phones in developer setting. Boot your android in fastboot. Type "fastboot devices" enter and type "fastboot oem unlock" and enter. It will unlock your android bootloader and flash your recovery.

Turn off your phone.
Hold down Volume Down + Power button.
Release the Power button when device starts and continue to hold the Volume Down key until you enter into the bootloader. ...
Scroll up or down with Volume keys and select Fastboot with the power key.

I can verify this: My J100H does not have a.) an OEM option in the developer settings and b.) does not boot into fastboot.
I can boot into download mode using volume down + home + power. But "fastbood devices" on the connected computer does not show the device.

Yes and no, it is as @adarshadhungel1 says in https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70830154&postcount=3,
there is no Option to unlock OEM in the Samsung 4.4.4 stock rom for the SM-J100H - so it seems. Could not find it anywhere.
Also, there seems to be no fastboot mode, as @TheExploitedOne mentions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83120343&postcount=3
So, I am stuck using Odin on Windows. At least for the first download it worked for me, now that I have TWRP on the phone, it seems I can handle the rest from linux...

Yes Samsung devices implement the Odin protocol rather than fastboot mode. There is maybe one or two devices that are Samsung that have fastboot instead of Odin by are probably rare to find

Hi...
You apparently have enabled developer options and usb debugging. Did you also enable OEM unlocking from the same menu?

On your device, go to Settings -----> About phone. Tap 7 times on the “build number“. You should now have enabled developer mode. Go back to the Settings menu and enter "Developer options" and enable USB debugging. Also check “OEM unlocking“. (It might be that you firstly have to connect the phone to a PC and tick “always allow this computer”and then get back to developer options menu and check “OEM unlocking“.
You may then start working with adb and fastboot.
(ps. Be aware that unlocking the bootloader triggers automatic factory reset - you will lose what you have not backed up)

Ok... Step by step... Please make sure you type exactly the commands as shown here:
1. type adb devices if it works, and shows your device then:
2. type adb reboot bootloader. If it works, and you should boot to bootloader. Next:
3. type: fastboot devices. Is you device stiil listed??? If not then there is some kind of trouble here. Your device is listed by adb, but not fastboot. If that is the case I personally do not have experience to help out. The only thing I can think of is that you may have missing drivers that do not allow correct communication between you device and PC.
If that is not the case and your device is listed by fastboot, then:
4. type: fastboot oem unlock. It will show that it is waiting. You will have to look at your device's screen and by using the devices buttons CONFIRM oem ulocking (on your device, not the windows command prompt)
5. If all goes well, your device should ask ask to reboot. Either reboot from menu, or just hold down the power button for a while.
6. After reboot, if all went well, your device will restart and perform an automatic factory reset. You cannot do anything about it. It just happens with OEM unlocking. At this point let it boot normally, and re-enable developer options and usb debugging to continue with root process, or anything that you want to do.
Can't thing of anything else for the moment... Let us know how it goes, perhaps a more experienced member, could share some insights???
I have already enabled usb debugging and oem unlocking yet neither adb reboot bootloader nor using the volume down + power button boot into bootloader mode, both of them lead to the tablet restarting normally to system

anyone else getting this problem?
Let's wake this thread in a bang! ?
Come on guys! Did anyone manage to deal with the problem? I have absolutely the same issue. Step 2 is the problem for me too. No fastboot mode neither through adb reboot bootloader nor the tablet physical buttons. I get either a normal reboot or the stock recovery which has not many options.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hello,
I have a Straight Talk ZTE Majesty Pro LTE [Z799VL]. It runs Android 6.0.1. This phone occasionally installs apps and has an annoying app called AppFinder. I have tried to root this phone with KingoRoot and KingRoot. So, I need help figuring out if this thing is even rootable. I would get a more accessible phone, but I'm short on money. I know this is short on information, but I'd be willing to help in any way I can.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm fairly certain this phone was released recently. Maybe it's just too soon.
I have this same phone and am having the same problem finding info on how to root it. Keeping a hopeful eye on this thread

There is a thread called Universal Method with a file and instructions but my Android device is the only PC I own so I haven't given it a try. The post has a Windows and a Linux method.

Have you unlocked the bootloader?
I recently upgraded to an Android 7.1.1 ZTE Majesty™ Pro Plus LTE (Z899VL) from TracFone,, and was rather dismayed to find out that it has an unremovable Facebook app (among other rubbish that I don't want/don't use).
I've never rooted a device before, and I know that this thread's a little old, but would anyone be willing to post a very-newbie-friendly step-by-step tutorial/walkthrough for rooting this phone (assuming it's possible)?
I have Developer Options enabled, and I can easily unlock the bootloader if that's required. I just want to get rid of these useless (for me) System Apps.
Oh, also: I don't have Linux, so… if it's possible, perhaps the rooting method could work using a Windows 7 PC?
need fastboot to unlock the bootloader. to the best of my knowledge, which aint much. but i can not find access to any kind of dl mode let alone fastboot.

Well, I finally managed to get my 899VL (it's not a 799VL as I'd thought — sorry) to show up as an ADB device; it accepts commands from the ADB program… except that when I execute "adb reboot bootloader", it just reboots my phone.
The ZTE logo shows, then the TracFone logo, and then Android boots as normal. It's as though I simply used the "Restart" option on my phone itself.
Due to this, I can't use "fastboot" commands, because it doesn't seem to enter Fastboot at all.
I do have both the OEM unlocking and USB debugging options turned ON. My only guess as to what's going wrong is that it's TracFone's fault. (Alas, I have no proof…)
Is there anything else that I can do to try and unlock the bootloader? Or is this phone a lost cause?

Well, I don't know about any other method to unlock boot loader.
BTW, in case of some phones, turning on the "OEM Unlock" button in Developer Options unlocks the bootloader automatically, so maybe, just check whether your bootloader is locked or not.
Both Didn't work

I tried using both the wasy for the first one the device not going to fastboot mode it just restarts for "adb reboot bootloader".
i tried KingoRoot, Dr Fone but it didn't work.
Did you unlock the ZTE Majesty Pro Z799VL with this method???

Does enabling OEM Unlock from developer options (Android 5.1.1) unlocks the bootloader?
If yes then can I directly flash a custom recovery after enabling OEM Unlock?

No, it only gives you permission to unlock bootloader.
You will need to unlock bootloader using adb.
Try this,
Download adb and Koush Universal adb driver and install them on ur pc, always install the driver first and don't install the drivers adb setup asks u to install.
Run command prompt as administrator.
Open the folder in c drive where adb is installed, u can use file explorer for this.
Press Shift+right click and select open command window here.
Enable USB debugging on your phone and connect it to the pc by a USB cord.
Enter command "adb devices" without quotation marks.
If it shows some device connected, only then proceed further.
Enter command " adb reboot bootloader"
Enter command " fastboot devices", if it shows some device to be connected, only then proceed further.
Enter command " fastboot oem unlock".
Ur phone may then ask for final confirmation on the phone screen, select yes.
When procedure completes, type "fastboot reboot" and your phone will reboot normally.

thnx for the reply augustonandro ! but i think im doing something wrong , whenever i type the command adb reboot bootloader my device(Galaxy J200G) restarts instead of rebooting to bootloader . So I just went to my stock recovery and chose option "reboot to bootloader" but still it restarted instead of rebooting to bootloader.
Am I doing something wrong?

guys i just found out this thread:https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j2/development/dev-samsung-galaxy-j2-lte-t3258147 and it says that just enable OEM Unlock and your bootloader will be unlocked. Is it true?
No, as explained above. That just allows the bootloader to be unlocked via ADB/fastboot (unless the bootloader is locked down like many ZTE phones).
Have you tried "adb reboot-bootloader"?
