I've seen that before. When you enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlock and try to reboot bootloader it still wont work. There has to be a way to get to the bootloader..

i was using adb with a LG G4 H810PR (Puerto Rico) and i just found that i could use "adb reboot bootloader"
But it's still locked isn't it? If this gets anywhere I'll be hyped cause I have a h810

Then try the OEM bootloader unlock method and report back. If you successfully unlock bootloader via manufacturer method you will became famous among H810/H810PR users and forums.

That is standard with every android now a days. Currently, only the EU variant can be done. You wont be able to actually unlock it without either a unlock key from LG or a exploit.

OEM Unlock means that the bootloader is unlockable, and not all androids bootloader can be unlocked. Even if you unlock the bootloader on your Sprint V50, I can't think of anything right now you could accomplish with the phone, as LG lacks tremendously of support in the custom rom and other mods area.
Hi all,
I have a Straight Talk Galaxy A20, model SM-S205DL. Will root instructions work for this model? I don't notice an OEM unlock option in the Developer Mode menu, but I can boot in download mode. Thoughts? It's been a while since I tried to install custom firmware.

You need to unlock OEM for it to work

Okay. Is there a way to do that other than the developer options menu? If the OEM unlock option isn't there, is there some other method?

There is a trick where you change the date to some weeks in the future.
im having the same issue
yea the dev options to show OEM Unlock seems to be gone from Straighttalk/tracfone versions, its even Gone from Download Mode (you dont even SEE the option for long-press vol+ to unlock bootloader)
is there a way to root

Some places claim to be able to change the CID of the phone. Would that help? I imagine once able to load different non-TFN BS firmware on the phone that magic developer option may appear. Or is it a hardware thing and the exynos chip has something to do with it? Not sure how it all works yet. Anyone know what the unlocked us retail model contains?
I'm not smart enough to find out so hopefully someone is and reads this and can chime in regarding all the points...
Me and my arrow...
Is my A12 (a125u) different and unable to be bl unlocked/rooted, etc? It has OEM unlock in dev options....?
Did you figure this out? Looking to do the same... Also can't find a firmware for it, please share what you did if you had success. Thanks!

Yes, the A125U has OEM UNLOCK in the developer options......you can turn that ON by going into : settings > about phone > software information ...and then tap BUILD NUMBER several times until you see that you have enabled "developer options". Then you go into developer options and turn on OEM UNLOCKING.
Before updating firmware recently OEM UNLOCKING was greyed out. But now I can switch it on. Now the question is, can this variant be properly bootloader unlocked and rooted. The known repository for downloadable firmwares for Samsung phones DOES NOT seem to have this variant firmware for download. And I wonder if that is required for this to be properly rooted.
Galaxy firmware has the firmware for this variant. I have the att version and I can't seem to unlock the bootloader. Holding volume up in the download screen does nothing. Any luck?
Bump, I have all same questions.... Anyone figure anything out?
Before I had tmo Sim unlock my phone the I set the oen unlock to unlock now its not there at all
Anybody rooted this yet ?
anyone know the interchangeability of the firmware between the a125u and other versions
I wish to know as well
What if the OEM unlock not showing how do you get it to show

I'd like to know this too. I believe the internal are all the same for the MediaTek devices. I got a SM-A125F for free and want to use it in the US. It looks like I could if I can convert it to SM-A125U or MS-A125M. I already bricked it once trying to flash U firmware and has to flash back to F

i was able to root this sm-a125u very easily... downloaded A125WVLS3AUL1 firmware (canadian unlocked) flash the full stock rom and was able to unlock bootloader as simple as holding down all buttons when going into download mode, it unlocked it that way and was able to flash twrp, magisk and its all good
I have a similar issue but vice versa. I bought a US version (SM-A125U1) only to find out months after that the dual sim option is locked and i think the only way to unlock it is changing the firmware. Now I need help to know what I can do to, please.
