Bootloader unlock

Hi Everyone
Are we still stuck with all the same methods i read about on other threads with regard to unlocking bootloader (huawei ID, usb / fastboot, dcunlocker). Is there any other way? MY PC is acting up now and isn't recognizing the phone ... it has a virus or something and it's all screwed up. any help or links would be much appreciated!
My phone:
GEM-702L
Android 5.0.1
Build # GEM-702LV100R001C209B006
Currently on T-Mobile in USA (HSPA+ is fast )

No,only with Huawei Page or Dc unlocker to unlock the Bootloader,i use Dc Unlocker,works fine.
Run Roguekiller on your pc to clean out the viruses. It's a free program. Then it should recognize the phone.

How to Relock bootloader

Hello all.
I attempted to flash a ROM a while back and failed miserably. All I managed to do in the end was unlock the bootloader. I would like to change this, and set things back to they way they were; locked bootloader.
Is there anyway to achieve this? I would like to be able to use apps like Uber that won't work with an unlocked bootloader.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Hello I think this could help you

This is a video about how to rebrand your mate 9
Now it in the steps it says that after you use the options 2 to rebrand it relock your bootloader, I don't know what mate you have but since you probably installed a custom recovery it is why you can't relock with the command, so my suggestion is this download the WHOTA update and also install the the software finder via Google Play. With it look for your specific model and copy the links to download the files for your specific model in your PC, Also do a Backup of your Oeminfo via the TWRP since it will be the only file you won't find, probably (if it happens to be the MHA-L09 C605 send it to me I need it for my phone I made the mistake of not backing up my Oeminfo).
If you download the files and follow the instructions of the video you will be able to relock your bootloader. But watch it 3 times and also download all the files and make sure to back up everything in your PC if something goes wrong.

Thanks guys. I've found a fairly simple solution.
This is the solution that worked for me.
1. Type "fastboot oem relock (your phone's unlock code)" and select unlock or yes with volume buttons & power.
Hopefully this method will help others.

Bootloader unlocked - then what?

Hi, so I have the Chinese PDEM30 version of the Oppo X2 Pro and I've applied for the bootloader unlock using the in depth testing APK from Oppo. As I believe it was made available in July, wondering if anyone else has done this yet and had approval already?
Once (if) I get approval, I gather the unlock is pretty simple:
1) App says approved
2) restart into recovery mode by holding power + volume down (after backing up data of course).
3) plug into PC and use ADB to unlock using the simple generic fasboot command (after enabling USB debugging in developer options of course).
PHONE UNLOCKED!
So here comes the silly question - does this mean I can load ANY ROM I want or does it have to be a custom ROM via TWRP or some other tool.
I simply want to load the global ROM, so assuming I can just do this from the recovery mode. Obviously right now it doesn't work as we get the "this is an older version" error. Will an unlocked bootloader solve this or is there more to it?
Appreciate any help from someone a bit more familiar with the process.
Thanks
Ben
and FYI, here's the current status in the testing app, I have to wait until the 10th September for the result. Fingers crossed!
can you share the apk ?

It's over in this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/find-x2-pro/how-to/roor-guide-t4111563/page4
Doesn't seem to work on a non-Chinese model though.

No, you have to register anyway as it's part of the criteria. Just register on Oppos UK site with your number, then login to the Chinese site using that login.

Thanks, didn't see that thread - very informative but still doesn't tell me if I'm able to load the standard global firmware once it's unlocked. Guess I'll find out in s few weeks

Oneplus 7 pro bricked bootloader lock

Hi guys I have a OP 7 pro bricked (boot loop), I try everything to un bricked, that is why I ask for any help. I use msm tool and install several zips but when the tool finish it still have the same problem, I can access to the fastboot mode but my bootloader is locked, so I cannot try the fastboot method cause my pc won't recognize when I connect my phone in this mode (I think that's because I need to have enable usb debugging).
I've got bad news, if your bootloader is locked and MSM tool fails you will most likely have to send it in as it will no longer be easily fixable, I unfortunately had this same issue on my OnePlus 8 and learnt the hard way.
You said that you "cannot try the fastboot method" because your PC won't recognize your phone... did you install Oneplus fastboot drivers correctly? You should be able to access your phone in fastboot, even with bootloader locked.
Try with another PC too. Just my 2 cents, sorry if this doesn't help you...

First thank you for your time.
I though that too, but i didn't do it , maybe is because I read that in order to use this method (fastboot), oem unlock and usb debugging have to be enable on my OP 7 PRO
Ps: today I'll try again whit another pc, maybe it works, I think the Qualcomm drivers, adb drivers and OP drivers are a nightmare, who knows how many I've been downloaded those in order to make everything right
Sorry for my English I'm from Costa Rica
Sounds like he is stuck o. The older firmware that don't recognize oem unlock command. Not doing the developer preview upgrade then Ota out to regular firmware. Kinda sounds like what I started out on this t mobile one

Hi MadScientist do you hav the same prob? Didi you solved?. Like I said I think the fastboot method to unbrick doesn't work for me because we need to have oem unlock and usb debugging enable on the OP. I will use another pc to discard
Ps: don't know what you mean with "older firmware"
Since I don't remember what version of firmware I have I try the older 9.5.3 to 10... On oxigen. Even i read that someone resolve his problem installing the Chinese version (hidrogenOs) I don't remember the exact name

Nm I read your post wrong. I thought you just couldn't get oem unlock enabled

I Ended up sending it to OnePlus and the repair was free as it was a software issue.
