Q. unlocking bootloader - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been trying to unlock the bootloader of a moto g7 supera for months. I switched my service form cricket and I cannot use this device on the new network. so I have been trying to unlock it, but every time I do, I get "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking."
I have followed a few threads and even after following what they did (remove spaces, sign in with lenovo id/google account), I still can't get it to give me the key. is there a way around this? can the device be rooted in the first place? what am I doing wrong?

Relocking Bootloader Motorola

HI, So I want to root my phone only so I can cast my screen in my Firestick ( Since my phone is a Motorola One Action it only cast on chromecast). In order to do that I have to edit the build.prop. What I want is to root, edit built.prop, lock bootloader and unroot phone. I've already unlocked my boot loader and some apps (netflix and Star+) is not available to donwload via playstore. besisdes I've read that some bank apps and games have problems with rooted devices. If I lock my bootloader again am I going to loose the modifications on my built.prop ?

Need help Samsung A32

Ok I have an A32 that is locked to spectrum. I've been trying to get it unlocked no luck. The phone does not ask for a code when I put a different sim in. Idk if rooting it would help but even if it did idk if I can root this without a computer. In my situation I have no access to a computer or can I go to a store. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know thank you.

[QUESTION] How to flash GSI on Hard-Bricked Nokia T20 WiFi? (TA-1392)

Hello,
I recently tried to find a workaround for installing an Android 13 GSI for my Nokia T20 tablet (TA-1392). It unfortunately backfired and now I don't know how to install the new GSI for my tablet without an unlocked bootloader. If possible, how can I unlock the bootloader? If not, is there a workaround?
This is an absolute emergency because I do not know if I bricked my tablet by trying to install a new GSI.

I certainly believe you. A forum with 11+ million members, 3.5+ million threads incorporating 75+ million posts in ??? (I've never tried to count them) fora is certainly not easy to organise to everybody's satisfaction. For this reason, some staff guidances and announcements are stuck at the top of every forum that might be helpful - if read!
Have you already had a look at this great guide by our RC @sd_shadow?

To whom this may concern,
As of today, 5/14/2023, I have updated the title of the thread to try to get better insight on my problem.
This is no longer an emergency.
As for today, I have discovered that my tablet was hard-bricked when I clean-erased it back in April 2023. However, with some deeper research, I found that it is recoverable. In terms of how, since the tablet tends to, when turned on, intermittently get detected by my Windows 11 desktop as 2 different identities, I need to somehow install/flash something onto the tablet within that split-second of identification to keep it from turning off while flashing the GSI. OR: have a tool that is not the HMD DeviceKit, as I cannot get permission for my Microsoft account to access such an app. I have no fastboot or recovery mode, as that was erased when the tablet was bricked.
NOTE: The GSI that I have installed is a stable version of Android 13. It has not yet been flashed onto the tablet as of the time this post was published.
Hello Again,
I have done more research and found out that I need to put my tablet into EDL Mode. In terms of how to do so, I do not yet know. In this later research that I made over the past 24 hours, a hint points me to the internal pinout of my tablet. Can someone help me identify the pins that I need to short out to enter EDL mode if possible? Or, if this hint is not true for this device (Nokia TA-1392), can someone point out how else to enter EDL mode on my tablet? Please note that the info about the GSI that I posted yesterday is still valid.
