I'm using samsung A10,i try to root my phone but not sure the step are correct or not. But now my bootloader is unlocked and my data was erase, how to lock the bootloader and recover my data's back.Please help me
Even if you manage to re-lock the bootloader the data are unrecoverably wiped.
So I've been having this issue for a while now. I would like to unlock the bootloader on my Samsung and I'm struggling severely. I've done so much research and attempts and phone calls and in the end, my hands always turn up empty. Could someone please give me some advice or a guide to what I'm supposed to do because it seems like this specific phone under the Tracfone carrier is a ghost when it comes to this and rooting. Once I get a lead I'm suppose to enable oem unlock, well my phone doesn't have one. I've waited more than a week with developer options on and I've even tried adb and fastboot. Still nothing, I really need an expert's help but I can't seem to find anyone. Not even XDA is helpful with this phone. Yeah they have the A10 or A10s but not the A10e under the Tracfone carrier with the model number SM-S102DL. Help would be much appreciated. Thank you

Hello guys. I really need soem help on this. After trying a whole day and looking at plenty of sources (heck even other phone forums), I've failed to unlock my bootloader. I've tried running the command
HTML:
adb reboot bootloader
and failed countless times. I really my phone to be operational for work soon so please, any suggestions? Also, yes I've selected USB debugging and OEM unlock in developer options. Thank you.
Phone model: LG H960A
OS: Android 6.0
Ok, thank you for posting this in the XDA Forums, as I am sure we will be able to find a solution to your problem here.
So, first of all, it would be really helpful, if you could list your model number perhaps? That would make all the difference!
Also, there are certain models that are bootloader LOCKED, such as the H900, and the VS900, and so on. Some of the ones that are unlocked, would consist of some of the European variants, and the H901 variant. (T-Mobile). You can find this information by removing your battery and seeing the white label beneath it. It will list it somewhere on there.
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.
This is a problem, and it's doing my nut. I have a Vodafone Smart Mini 7, which I desperately want to root, to get all of Google's bloatware and the stuff the original network provider put on it.
I've already unlocked it to all networks, but the bootloader is being a PITA. I've done the usual with adb and fastboot, namely put it into USB Debugging, and then done this;
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot getvar all
When I get to the section on the bootloader, it advises me that it's Secure.
I tried to use
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
and when I confirm on the phone that I want to unlock it, I get told that Remote Unlock is not allowed.
I assume that the fact that fastboot getvar all says that the bootloader is secure, means I need some sort of key to get it off. My old network provider don't know where to get it from, my tech team don't know where to get it from and I'm screwed.
Anyone got any ideas on whether I can get round the "secure" part of this, like some way of finding the key for it? Thanks

I have the exact same issue I read some threads and nothing solid has come out of it some say they managed to get root but others say they bricked the phone
Any news on this topic? I too have one i desperately would like to root because it is permanently full and you cant do anything wih it. The Google apps and the apps installed by my service provider take up all the onboard storage space. I downloaded only Whatsapp and Facebook Lite and bam,the phone is completely full and useless as it cant do updates,runs extremely slow and does all sorts of random stuff like restarting on its own etc. driving me utterly insane.
Hello,
I have an SM-N950U from TMB which was purchased direct from Samsung when it was just launched after the whole debacle of the Note 7.
Phone has been working fine on TMB this whole time. Today I switched to VZW and attempting to have the phone unlocked.
I tried to use the Device Unlock app on the phone, with no luck. It fails when I try to Permanently Unlock the phone.
I called TMB for assistance, they said that the manager has tried to process it manually and has been unable to do so after multiple attempts. Escalated to higher support who got on the phone and said she's unable to help and does not know why it is not working. Said she will be escalating to a higher support group, but as of yet, nothing from anyone.
Is there any way of unlocking this phone without TMB?
I've attempted to flash VZW via ODIN, both U and U1, with no luck. I also tried the U1 XAA and still the same thing, I get a message "Network locked SIM card inserted".
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am at a total loss and want to continue using this phone as I've been, just with VZW now.
Side note, maybe it's failing because the phone is already unlocked, just doesnt work with VZW? Not sure if thats a possibility, but is there any way to check to see if the phone is in fact unlocked or not?
Anyone?

@ladlabaloch512
Perhaps your device has the same "OEM unlock" block like mine.
On mine I was supposed to wait 7d after turning on dev options.
I bypassed that by
1. switching to airplane mode
2. Setting manually date back one month
3. Restart (still in airplane mode)
4. Turning off airplane mode and let it sync date
and voila OEM unlock option was there.
Perhaps that works on your device as well.

Keep us updated.. I'd like to get my OEM unlock to come out of hiding.. this is frustrsting.. i see all these tutorials for the A02s root, twrp and ROMs and whatnot and I'm itching to get flashing!
Is it possible to flash an unlocked carrier firmware in ODIN and then be able to unlock OEM? Without carrier issues or anything? I'm a little nervous to be the first to try.. and not sure where to find US unlocked carrier firmware or if location even matters... I have the SM-A025AZ (US Cricket variant).. I guess as long as Download Mode (fastboot) is still accessible I could just flash the Cricket version back to the device.. bricked my LG-E980 back in the day.. took me a few months how to get it back up and running with LG flash tool.. i just dont want to repeat that fiasco lol... so anybody got any updates on hacking this OEM (un)lock bs??? Or any idea on flashing some other variant to the device without interrupting carrier stuff??.. seems like alot just to get a damn virtual switch to turn on.. but damnit I need root access! Lol.. about to just exchange this phone for an actual rootable phone.. i disagree with charging for hotspot.. that should be illegal.. getting charged twice to use th same bs internet.. eff that.. i just want Rooooooot!!!
Hello,
I have also been having these troubles, with no way to unlock oem after stock flash, and the closest I've got to finding a solution was this, but I simply cannot find samsung's bootloader unlocking form like it says in the guide. I bought my phone just for a bootloader unlockable version (A025M), and now I am very angry at samsung.
also, since over a 1000 hours have gone by since last post, have any one of you solved this issue just by waiting?

its not only samsung that does this, many other companies like motorola does this. Dont be angry, just try a different device. Also, snapdragon US models (i dont think) arent able to be unlocked. If its a mediatek model and isnt sim/carrier locked, u can try MTKClient
