Decision by Oppo: No Bootloader/Fastboot access for Oppo Phones starting 2016

Decision by Oppo: No Bootloader/Fastboot access for Oppo Phones starting 2016​
I was surprised to not find this information in any of the forums.
This is why I'm posting this thread to prevent further confusion and future xda-enthusiastic "Phone Buyers" from Oppo's decision.
Oppo has of this year decided to "lock the access to its Bootloader".
By "access" i mean no way to access it with "adb reboot fastboot" and "adb reboot bootloader" and any "Bootup Button combination".
Its not only hitting new phones but also old phones.
All the latest ColorOS Firmwares will prevent you from accessing the Bootloader.
All Project Spectrum alpha/beta's for OLD and NEW phones will prevent you from accessing the Bootloader.
If you are using a custom rom and want to try out any of the above stock roms. Be !WARNED! you will lose access to the Bootloader!
They not only removed the access to the Bootloader but also removed the "fastboot binarys" itself.
If by chance you are able to access the Bootloader and want to use fastboot commands. All commands will result in "FAILED (remote: unknown command)"
I noticed this and raised questions in the official Oppo forum:

}
this is the official reply:
I hope this helps enthusiastic users in their "phone choice".
For me access to the Bootloader and having fastboot commands are on top of the list when it comes to choosing a new phone.
Update:
It seems like that Oppo decided to bring back fastboot and the possibility to unlock the bootloader in their "Project Spectrum" ROM.
But apparently not in all devices!
ColorOS (The Stock ROM) is unaffected and remains with a defunct fastboot. Confirmed by Oppo R9 Plus users. Which is Oppo's latest Qualcomm based phone.

Thank God i didn't upgrade !

You can unlock the bootloader and access the fastboot by downloading the old version of the ColorOS.
Thanks.

this is only true for devices which had firmware releases in 2015. my Oppo R7S (European Version) for example was already shipped with a firmware that is hit by their new strategy. no old firmware to unlock the bootloader or access fastboot.

Thanks for the info, it´s something to keep in mind certainly.

Thank you for your effort in this. Any process on the r7s front?
Website signature

Yes , I got caught out by this
I purchased my R7s due to Oppo's previously root friendly attitude only to find I could not root when I had updated my phone to the latest version
I have expressed my displeasure to Oppo

this is exactly what happened to me when I purchased the R7S. I did my research before purchase and saw that all previous Oppo phones were unlockable using fastboot. when I bought the phone. fastboot binarys were removed in LK.
there has been alot of effort by xda-dev's to find a way to unlock the affected phones.
I can only say this much. a way has been found. which was used to put pressure on Oppo including all the incoming complains.
Im a project Spectrum beta tester and the good news is. that the project Spectrum beta roms have fully working fastboot binarys. which will allow an bootloader unlock.
if you look in the Oppo forum. you will see that I provided an official TWRP and am currently working on a CyanogenMod.
no need to give up or to pass on this mid-ranger at all. just patients

is there really no way to root the phone? i don't understand Chinese and in the original way i can't use the OPPO R9 Phone

If anyone can point me towards where to find older R7 PlusF firmware that would be great. Doesn't seem to be listed on oppo website anymore.
"R7plusfEX_11_OTA_005_all_201508180100"
Is available by host server aborts download at 100mb/1.3gb

Looks like I missed out this thread... Only recently I discovered such situation at Oppo forum. Very disappointed by this...

is there any way for unlocking fastboot for oppo a37 which only has coloros3.0.0 rom?

Have you checked if you have fastboot access at all? Install minimal adb & fastboot enable debugging mode in developer options and issue the command "adb reboot fastboot".
If the phone simply reboots then Oppo has not included fastboot binarys for your device.

No unless an older ROM version had it and it was removed with an upgrade.
Try reverting to the oldest ROM version you can find and try again.

NO!!! You will brick your phone!
Different manufacturer totally different signature's!
There is no way! Because Oppo locked it down!
You should have done research before buying a phone. If you wanted root, Xposed, custom ROM, etc

NO! Again! for TWRP to work you need an unlocked bootloader which you don't have and can't have because of Oppo removing fastboot!
Return your phone and get a different phone.
Avoid Oppo at all costs!
I suggest Asus Zenfone 2 it has all you want and even official CyanogenMod support!
It's close to the specifications of the a37f.
https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Z00L_Info
And stop using so many questions marks!
It only makes you look stupid.

Thanks but it won't be refunded in my country. So i am stuck. I can get Samsung J5 2015 which is rooted and has many functions which i like from my brother in exchange of it but Oppo provides many functions which samsung does not like Oppo has almost no bloatwares, Built-in app locker, more ram, 4G, built-in customizations, and a camera that is the best.
Thanks for all the help. I just wanted to confirm, my friend said that we can make a port of twrp so i asked.
and i am an idiot and a noob so i use many question marks sometimes

Indian Variant bootloader question

Hey guys
Bought the 64 GB version yesterday, vitals are as follows
Moto turbo
Xt1225
Android 5.0.2 (took a small OTA maybe like 90mb, now states that it is up to date)
so like any other XDA regular, the first thing I did (after opening the box of course) was to try and unlock the bootloader
Powered it on, rebooted to fastboot and fired up motodev...where my happiness was converted to horror when it told me "YOUR DEVICE IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR UNLOCK"
this is a huge bummer if not an outright deal breaker, as I use xposed, among other things I need root ,and I've seen people post twrp backups here from the Indian Variant, so people have at least that installed, so guys, what are my options?
How did you do it? Will sunshine work?
P.S. : I bought it yesterday but I think my retailer won't take "can't unlock bootloader" as a viable excuse to refund an otherwise functional device

Your device is eligible.
Do NOT use Sunshine.
I have no idea what "MotoDev" is. Go to the actual Motorola website and request an unlock code.
UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
You will need to install the Android SDK. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Also, install the latest Motorola USB Drivers on your desktop. https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
Connect your phone to PC via USB cable. Go to the Motorola website and get the unlock code.
In the Windows command window, you will need to copy and paste the numbers back and forth. Do NOT try to type them by hand. That was my mistake. I also got an ineligible error message the first time, because it's like 70 character alphanumeric string. Very easy to make a typing mistake. I did.
If you don't know how to copy and paste to and from the Windows command window, use to Google to find out how.

Yess!! That did it[emoji2] turns out the site does not differentiate between "incorrect" and "ineligible"
Not finding the device on the supported devices list convinced me that the official route was closed
Turns out there were a couple of empty spaces in the key i copied, i recheked it manually after you confirmed it to be unlockable , thanks a ton[emoji1]
Motodev is what the motorola development portal was called back in 2013, when i unlocked my moto x first gen, now i guess they dropped the developer moniker and its just motorola
Thanks again
P.S. :nice they changed the bootloader warning background from white to black now

Interesting. The gf bought one from Sprint Saturday and the bootloader is locked.

Those having issues with adb or bootloader, may need to update drivers for such

Figured out my issue no worries

Just in case you were wondering, relocking your bootloader WILL wipe your device.

I updated my drivers and it is still not recognizing it in fastboot. Any suggestions?

Which drivers are you using? I had to download the Google USB Driver and then manually select Bootloader from the the Driver Selection screen in Devices.

That's the one that I chose, the 11.0 version

Does anyone have any advice for getting the phone recognized. I installed android studio and google usb drivers. I've unlocked bootloaders on onepluses before but nothing happens when I type fastboot devices, and it stays at "waiting for any device" when I try the unlock command.

Sent from my PH-1 using XDA Labs

updating the drivers manually like in your thread did the trick. Thanks!

In case anyone is trying this on a Mac, you need
1: The latest SDK Platform-tools for Mac
2: cd to platform-tools in terminal and enter: ./adb devices
(I couldn't get my Mac to discover my phone at all in ADB until I used ./ before the command, which I never had to do with other phones.
I was able to discover the device in fastboot without these steps and ./, but only when entering the vendor id, and the unlock command failed with or without the id.)
3: Once you see your ADB device show in terminal, you should get the prompt on your PH1 screen to allow your Mac to access it.
4: You should now be able to reboot to fastboot from the terminal using: ./adb reboot bootloader
5: Check device again: ./fastboot devices
6:. Lastly: ./fastboot flashing unlock (vendor id was not needed for me)
Hope this helps.

Relock bootloader

Hi everyone, I am selling my phone and would like to relock the phone and avoid having that message that appears every time I rebooot the phone..
Is it possiile to relock the phone without problems?
Could someone kindly show me how.
Thanks
Cheers

Make sure you flashed a full stock RUU first, just to make sure the software is absolutely original. Then you can do it via fastboot oem lock in download mode.

Hello friends,
I wanted to see if it worked.
I also want relock Bootloader. I have read that it can come to a software brick.

what ever you do make sure you put on the original rom on, i made the mistake of doing it when I had a patched boot file and now it wont boot.
I'm not panicing just yet as from reading up I can just flash it using the SD card method. but i got to wait till I get home as i havent got a 16/32GB sd card with me.

Thank you.
just to be sure, this is what I need to do?
1. put an original RUU on your microSD card and rename it 2Q55IMG.zip. Then open the download mode and confirm the flashing.
2. then use "Fastboot OEM Lock" in download mode to lock the bootloader.
Did I understand it correctly?

Yes, those instructions are correct.
Although I'm not entirely sure that will remove the message you're looking to remove but I might be wrong. Hopefully I am cause I intend to do the exact same thing as you.

But would be nice if someone could confirm, who has already done so with success ....

Can confirm this is the way to do it, but make sure you put a stock rom on first as it doesn't like it if your boot is patched.
The message is phone is RELOCKED after its all done

HELP!!!
Hello again,
I have a problem. I have the
2Q55IMG_IMAGINE_UHL_O80_SENSE10GP_HTC_Europe_1.30.401.2_Radio_sdm845-000201b-1807311356_release_528110_signed_2_4.zip
renamed 2Q55IMG.zip on the SD card and flashed. I have UHL (Single SIM) HTC_034.
Then i use "Fastboot OEM Lock" in download mode to lock the bootloader.
I confirm the query with Yes.
After that I have a bootloop, can't get out of it...
What can I do?

Did it boot into the rom before you tried to relock the bootloader. Also I wonder if the rom you used was to early. I used 1.53.401 when I did it. I assume that is the same rom for single / dual sim htc_034 models.
I would be getting a more uptodate rom and reflash again via sd card method

I think so too... it's not that easy for developers to buy before global release.

Hi I'm trying to unlock the bootloader, but when I log in to the Xiaomi Unlock Tool, I never received the verfication code that's supposed to be sent via a text messages to my linked US phone number. Other text messages went through fine so either XIaomi didn't send the code or my carrier (AT&T) blocked it. I tried a few other numbers and none worked. Did you guys need to receive the text message to verify your account when using the Unlock Tool? If yes, did you use a Chinese phone number or something else? A tried 4 different US numbers and none of them could receive Xiaomi sms. Thanks for your help!

Hi! How do I know when it's passed time enough to unlock it? Do I have to verify from time to time on the tool?

Sorry but I must be doing something wrong and different from the way I always did unlock bootloader. In Android 12, With Vol down + power the cell phone enters a different screen "Bootloader" that always allowed unlocking.
mi unlock software does not allow clicking the unlock button, fastboot devices and adb devices commands do not work in this mode.... How to unlock with these changes?

Run the unlock tool again, it will tell you how many hours left. Normally it tells you that 168 hours left at the first successful attempt, it also tells you do not logout miui account or try to login another account on your phone. Just be patient.

you can open fastboot by power + (-)
then connect cap type C in to PC
Download anh intaller ADB driver xiaomi
You will show connection on screen PC

for anyone having issues to sign in to mi unlock tool and verification code doesnt arrive: go to your phone and your Mi account, Tap QR code and scan QR after clicking top right corner in sign in page of mi unblock tool. Worked for me.
