FWIW I bought a pixel 6 through tmobile, asked support for permanent sim unlock and voila...
OEM unlocking can now be enabled in developer options

Says the writer of a "short and sweet" 200 word thread regarding this topic in the QUESTION forum (which, btw, fails to pose any semblance of a question).
Simple, concise bootloader unlocking discussion in the DEVELOPMENT sub?
K.I.S.S.

Development thread is for custom Roms, kernels, mods....
This should have been posted in the general questions threads.
And yes there are threads already on this subject.

If you have a look in Xperia General, you'll find a whole lot of stuff...
There's two rules to the forum. The first rule of the forum is Use Search Before Posting. The second rule of the forum is Use Search Before Posting.

Hi Chris, just a heads up mate - a better place to ask questions is in the X10 Q and A sub-forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=745) or in the x10 General sub-forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=615). This sub-forum (Development) is for the clever guys that are attempting to hack/mod/change the way our phones work for the better - we have to try not to clutter it up with general stuff.
To answer your questions, rooting means that you gain the ability to have root access. in unix/linux terms - this is a god-like user that can do anything. normally the user is limited as to what they can do but with root you can edit system files, delete protected files, anything you want. as i can see from your first post, you already have 2.1 installed so you will need to use the SuperOneClick root method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824788)
Good luck, and remember - dev forum is for devs only
Thread moved to Q&A.

Another rule is don't start threads about threads to ask about things already answered in the thread you've already read.

Unless you're actually developing something then no.
MOD EDIT: BEFORE POSTING ANY THREAD IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
If you have developed a ROM, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required.
Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.
If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something. Developing isn't installing a ROM, or using a tweak, it's creating a ROM or other hack or tweak. If you haven't read for several days before starting out on XDA, you are likely about to ask something already solved. I registered on XDA when I first wanted to post, and that was to join in a discussion on something. Sure, join up and ask a question, but read the information available in General and Q&A first, as your question will have been asked before. Search is your friend here, become familiar with it.
Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time. Something needs to be reproducible to be fixed effectively.
Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?

Four points OP:
1.- The first rule on XDA is:
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

2.- Following the point no.1 you could find this without the need of create a thread, this subject was discussed a lot already.
3.- As was explained above be careful with the posts, don't make off-topic / spam posts.
4.- Questions belongs to the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section, not to general.

Hello everyone,
i am searching for a security focused/hardened Custom Rom for the Huawei P20 Lite.
Something like GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS sounds very interesting but unfortunately it is not available for the P20 Lite.
Please note that i am not only talking about Privacy. I am searching a secure Rom.
I often find LineageOS when i am googling, but i think it is more privacy focused and i also read that security updates often be shipped to late...
Greetings and thanks in advance

@-Alf- I now read this the second time in connection with security questions.
What is the deal about Kirin Devices? I mean what makes it impossible to harden a ROM/OS and deactivate unsafe Software Parts/Services and install security features?

I can't name the reasons, I'm not a developer. I only know that ROM/OS like Graphene, Postmarket, Sailfish, UbuntuTouch etc. etc. (all that works on Snapdragon, MTK, etc.) , cannot be installed on Kirin. Or they only work partially.
No roms are safe. Your data can always be wiped, stolen etc with a custom recovery and unlocked bootloader
