I tried using OEM unlock with my passcode (received from official Huawei website) using fastboot, but it responds failed everytime. Just recently, I realized that OEM unlock isn't actually there under Developer Options, so could that be causing it? My model number is LON-AL00, so I'm not sure if the bootloader is unlockable.

If you have AL00, so you should have Chinese ROM, cause it's stock. Chinese stock ROMs do not have option "oem unlock".
In this case you should do factory reset before unlock (something messed up and prevent unlock)
But if you have international ROM (rebranded by someone), you should turn option "oem unlock" on.

Thanks for the help. since Chinese stock ROMs don't have "OEM Unlock" option, how would a facotry reset help in this case? I.e. wouldn't the facotry reset still keep it as a Chinese stock ROM?
Anyone know why my imei only have 15 digit its probly 16 digit to fill up unlocking bootloader..model L29

It does keep it as a Chinese stock rom, but it removes your Google account and that's probably what triggers FRP lock. You might even have to remove pin/fingerprint as well.

Mines 15 digits too. But it's not imei you use, you use imei to request the unlock code.

You won't see that option, it doesn't exist in the chinese ROM. What I mean is that FRP prevents you from unlocking bootloader. If you've added a Google account / pin / fingerprint you need to factory reset from recovery before trying to to unlock bootloader.

Then I'm stumped. Try contacting Huawei? You might receive an answer. Probably best to just call them. I've tried with emails 3 times, though it was for the kernel source so it might be why they never replied.

I struggled for a few days until someone suggested this solution to me. I worked instantly. Don't ask me why.
I suppose you can enable Find my Phone after unlock but I didn't do that.
Anyways, a little update: I've managed to unlock the bootloader. The actual code I used wasn't from the Huawei, but DC Unlocker instead. The strange part of this is that the DC code was 16 numerical digits, whereas the code Huawei provided me had a mixture of both numbers and alphebets. Hope this helps anyone who encounters this issue in the future!

Does anyone have any development on this device? It's newer and running a droid 7.0 nougat. Any root info or bootloader unlock info would be greatly appreciated
I too am looking, upgraded from the smj320a, gotta day love the phone just needs root do I can retire my older one.
Side note, I noticed oem unlock is missing. Haven't been able to find a reason or answer.
Yeah I seen that too. I was thinking about trying the custom recovery twrp for the galaxy emerge which has the same board and specs as the j3 prime except it's running marshmallow. If I flash it that might work but then it will trip the frp lock and the phone will be soft bricked. It's hopeless with a locked bootloader
Well, frp bypass is kind of my new found hobby. Have locked 10 devices and bypassed them all, one was a new found bypass on the lg tribute 5 running that 5.1.1. So if you frp I can help. Can we tag people in these like that crap spy social network site? Aka FB. Because I do know someone who could possibly help.
I too would also like to root this phone. T-Mobile variant.
How do we go about getting the sm-j327t1 it's own set of development threads?

I don't own this device, but according to what I can gather, it seems that FRP can be OEM unlocked, but the property is not set hence the property set to 0 for sys.oem_unlock_allowed.
For why it doesn't appear in dev settings I think is another issue. Can anyone confirm that this device does NOT have a manufactuerer locked bootloader.
Just to clarify:
OEM unlock = disable Googles FRP lock not unlock the bootloader.
If this device has a manufacturer locked bootloader then the likelyhood of root for this device is minimal.

The easiest way would be to simply remove the signature from the stock recovery image and then see if it flashes with odin. If it does the bootloader isn't locked. If it fails then it's highly likely to be locked.

Yes I didn't set a screen lock as from what I've learned that's what activates frp, unfortunately my laptop has crashed (anyone good at bios pm me) but still no oem unlock and adb isn't working now, pc at work I've got android studios downloaded but I'll refrain from the lock until I can check, still don't know how to pull a signature from a stock image tho... But also in that article it States that oem unlock was enabled even tho there was no setting but they had unlocked boot loaders

Yes, your bootloader is locked.. try again via fastboot to unlock it.
You'll need the original key when you are trying it
the Command is something like "fastboot oem unlock *key*".

I've had the same problem and it turned out that the first bootloader code i used ( with DC unlocker) is different from the one i got on the Huawei website.
So what i did eventually was to pay for the DC unlocker again.
I also downgraded back to MM, because i did not manually relock the bootloader before updating to N, which apparently locks the bootloader in a different way.
So I suggest dowgrading to MM and unlocking there plus relocking it before updating again,
IF you are sure you have the right / original bootloader code you used before,
or
use a 3rd party tool like DC unlocker to get the code.
You might have to downgrade to MM as well with this method . Not sure
Edit: Fyi, never post your IMEI online

It should either be an exe somewhere or just a bat file.
This tool does the same thing as a command window in the sense of unlocking the bootloader.
As far as I know it won't help with your problem.
Frp ( Factory reset protection) requires you to sign with your google account if enabled or you can't use the phone. ( Theoretically that is, I'm i noob myself so no idea)
But it was "locked" ( same as in your pics that is ) for me as well anf I didn't have a problem with it.

Safety is the enemy of freedom!! -.- Sounds very complicated! (sorry for my bad english). So, i was on android 6.1 and unlocked and rooted it. Than had my problems with root again (maybe the wrong supersu file, or something) Then i have downloaded update.app from hihonor and installed it from the external sd card and everything is working fine on my phone. but i can not unlock it. maybe i have the wrong software for my location ore something like that?
FRP unlock means "You have to unlock"? if its unlocked there will be "FRP unlocked"? i am right?
Maybe i should try the whole procedure from beginning. rollback, update etc.. and then try to unlock. or should i contact huawei?
Thank you and a nice evening *cheers* ^^

Put the phone in fastboot mode, then run `fastboot flashing unlock` from a PC. If it says unlocking not allowed, you're out of luck, it's a brick now. Never lock your phone without being 100% stock on both slots

No idea. I've never relocked unless I am completely stock and take at least one ota first to make sure, along with full factory resets before and after updating.
There are others here that claim they where able to unlock again and save their phones though so maybe it's possible.

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 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 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.
