So today i've got A9 from the shop with a demo software (its a fully working device just got a version of MM with sim card part disabled). Problem is that its S-ON and cant turn on Developer options to turn on Oem unlock, its all greyed out. Tried sunshine method but it doesnt work. Any ideas?
I believe youll have to find out the cid and mid of the device and flash the full working ruu...

I bought a htc a9 sprint unlocked version online 2 months ago.
It has boot loader unlocked and s-off
But after I accidentally updated the phone with 7.0 ruu, it got aim locked.
After few weeks of work and I can't unlock it, so I turn to others for help.
He has unlocked the sim lock, but "activate this device" still appears in the settings.
Is there any way to activate this device? People said I need a Sprint account to do that, unfortunately I don't have one.
By the way, I can't get mobile data on this phone, is that because it needs to be activated?
Can any one help me with that? Thanks!

same thing happened to me bro, I'm still wondering how can I resolve my problem, you have HTC A9 2PQ930000 isn't it?
I changed MID and installed Nougat but I got a problem of not having 3g and 4g signals, but I had 2g signals, now I restored my MID back to 2PQ93000 and got Sprint RUU installed but still have no data and it is always asking to unlock. It drives me mad.
Fear not, get Sunshine and S-OFF the phone ($25 but it's worth it!) And follow the guide to convert your phone to dev unlock, it's easier than it sounds!

Verizon, doesn't sell phones with an unlocked bootloader. Additionally, their phones are also carrier locked until they are paid off.

Before you connect to wifi or before you install your sim card .... Enable "developer option" then go into the "developer options" and scroll down till you see
" OEM Unlocking" select it so the switch is on
or slid to the right. Then unlock your bootloader reboot .... Again before you hook up to wifi or install sim go back and enable your "Developer options" then go into dev options and select "OEM Unlocking" so that its on again. Then hook up to what ever you want. Wifi, sim, whatever. Once bootloader is unlocked it can't be locked remotely by the carrier. So you'll be good.

I'm curious if removing my SIM card and trying this will work, since I didn't find these instructions until after I got my phone. Has anyone tried this method? Like remove it, enable OEM unlocking, and then reinserting it?

No it won't work for a Verizon phone There are many dead-end "unlocking Verizon BL" threads. Your phone may already be carrier unlocked but you won't be able to BL unlock.
I just received my Flip3 (SM-F711U1) and would like to unlock my bootloader. However developer options is missing the OEM Unlock option. It's completely missing not just grayed out. I read a few articles about needed to change the system date but none of those guides changed anything. Can someone help?
Also, I attempted to call *#*#7378423*#*# to double checked that it wasn't already unlocked and I got a popup saying "Unabled to process the request."
Thank you.

I have no issue unlocking developer options. As my first post said the OEM Unlock option is missing from dev options.

Have you tried through fastboot? (fastboot oem unlock)
Oh, got you. Sorry!
As far as I'm aware samsung devices don't support fastboot. I did attempt to connect it in case I was wrong but was not able to get fastboot to recognize the device.

You can try directly unlock without ticking the oem unlock. By boot into download mode. The other thing is your device or carrier or country wont allow your flip 3 to be unlock. There last step you can try is clean flash via odin with your latest firmware.

I can get into download mode fine but don't know how to use that to unlock directly. Can you give more details?
I tried a clean flach with my latest firmware but it didn't change anything.
It's a US carrier unlocked version I bought directly from Samsung. CSC of XAA. Currently using a T-Mobile SIM.

If you had them enabled on your last phone and you restored from your Google backup, developer options will be enabled. Has happened on all of my phones since Android 9

Thanks, but I was asking @RedHatter271 to see if the restore data might have corrupted the options.

If you can boot into download mode there is an instruction just press vol up button and it will prompt do you want to unlock bootloader mine is like that. Im not sure yours since mine is korea version.

They support bootloader unlock. samsung dont support using fastboot unlock or command at all
if you're in North America, Canada etc Qualcomm chips there do not support bootloader unlocking, at least the Samsung one's don't, not sure about other OEMs.

They used to, so there was always a possibility it returned.
I recently read this article on XDA about unlocking the boot loader on the Fold 3 which results in Samsung disabling the camera (WTH?), Is this a thing on the Flip3 too?
My device is rooted. I have always been able to find the OEM unlock option under developer options without any constraints.
My camera is NOT affected. I can still use it without any issues.
I have an European device (SM-F711B).
Hope this helps some of you to track down whether this is a location or carrier based problem.
Hey Redhatter,
Out of topic question, but are you getting Tmobile 5G just fine?

I have an old Samsung J3 Eclipse (SM-J327V) that has no OEM Unlock in Developer Options. The phone is approximately 5 years old. I would like to unlock the bootloader on it. I'v tried the suggestions listed on the forum, but they are for new phones to bypass the 7 day waiting period and enable the OEM unlock. I tried them anyway, and they don't work on my J3.
Seems to me that I read that Samsung started hiding the OEM Unlock with Android version 8.0
I was thinking of loading some old version of the official firmware that was Android 7.0 or earlier (if I can find it). Then, hopefully there would be an OEM Unlock that would enable me to unlock the boot loader. Once unlocked, I could flash back to Android 8.1 (newest version for this old device). Would that work? Can you use Odin to downgrade the version of Android?
Comments welcome from all. Thanks!
I've tried following every youtube video and posting on the internet for how to get the hidden OEM unlock back into developer options. None of them work. I swear I have done the process of date resetting dozens of times and it still doesn't work.
Can anybody help? Please! I'd really like to unlock the bootloader. Is there any other way to do this?

ok so I have got a moto g pure (XT2163DL) with a tracfone bootloader and ive accepted that I cant find anyway so far to get my unlockable bootloader unlocked. I have looked and tried everything I could find without using a paid service which is probably what I need to do or just get another phone but first I have one more idea but I just dont know if it is even still possible or not. Can I use the cyanogenmod installer on my phone and unlock my bootloader and then switch back and keep an unlocked bootloader? Im running android 12. My oem unlock switch is not greyed out and it is set to unlock and even though I have tried using fastboot oem unlock and it said it was successful , it wasnt really unlocked afterall. motorola site just says my bootloader cant be unlocked. Is this a viable option?
