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.

Did you see my thread?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/es...nofficial-usb-drivers-essential-ph-1-t3678231
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.

As much as I know once you updated into nougat rooted, the OEM function is greyed out but you will retain the unlock bootloader functions. Its the same with mine the oem function is also greyed out but I can use ADB Commands on it. Try booting into fastboot then use adb then type adb devices to make sure if its detected. If not, maybe you have no driver installed or hiSuite?

Then the oem function being greyed out means you already unlocked bootloader so adb commands must work without issues. Naybe try booting to fastboot then in adb enter command fastboot oem unlock.

The Nokia 7.2, surprisingly, comes with an unlockable bootloader. The information is shared by TechMesto and I am just re-using it to create this guide.
Notes:
Unlocking the bootloader may void the device's warranty.
All existing data on the device will be erased.
To unlock:
Update: Nokia has disabled the unlock ability with the December MR. You can only unlock if you downgrade your phone to an old release first. You can get it at Nokia Care or by buying remote flashing services.
Before you start: Make sure that you have platform-tools downloaded on your PC. You need to open a CMD or Terminal window in the folder where you have saved the platform-tools, unless you have installed them system-wide.
• First of all, enable Developer Options by tapping 7 times on BuildID in "About phone".
• Then go to developer options and enable OEM Unlocking option.
• Now reboot the phone into bootloader/fastboot mode. You can use the adb command:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
or else use hardware keys to reboot to bootloader mode.
• Make sure the phone is detected in fastboot mode. Then send the OEM unlocking command:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
• Confirm the unlock on the phone.

}
• That's it!
You can also do the unlock_critical if you plan to flash the bootloader.
Reserved for future use.
I am on a Nokia 7.2, a dual-sim variant with 6GB RAM and 128 GB ROM. The model name is TA-1196.
I am currently having issues with this method, whenever I try to flash unlock, prior to the V1.160 update, the fastboot will report back saying "Write to device failed (unknown error)".
If anyone would enlighten me I would be happy to hear.
Edit: Currently on build number 00WW_1_060
Edit 2.0: Works after updating to build 00WW_1_160. Seems Nokia enabled this method by mistake. Who knows?

Hi, looks like you were initially doing flash unlock instead of flashing unlock? And since there was nothing to flash, it failed.

I was using flashing, and as my edit has said, it seems the option to unlock the bootloader was only enabled after version 160.

That's okay, but the output you got wasn't appropriate for that command. If the unlock support isn't allowed it will say "flashing unlock is not allowed". Or in case the bootloader isn't including that command at all, it will say "Unknown command".
I might be wrong too, but your output isn't something i've seen on any of the phones i've owned, whether unlockable or non-unlockable. That output is what I usually get when the command is not proper, or the drivers aren't properly installed or the fastboot device isn't properly responding. Rebooting to bootloader should usually fix it. At least it does on other Nokia and Sharp phones.

You can use TWRP or patched image to root the 7.2
Can confirm that it is still unlockable. Got 2 of them today from Argos in the UK (Scotland). They are on 00WW_1_130 with security batch from 2019/08/05.
Only thing I had to do was enable internet and reboot to get the option to stop being greyed out.
Just got mine today and it forced a system update upon activation. I was unable to unlock the bootloader.

Think we may be out of luck then, but one last suggestion. I noticed when reading through the thread on user indicated they were using "flash" instead of "flashing" when trying to unlock the bootloader.
I know I personally did the same thing at first. Did anyone confirm that "flashing" was used?
I know the older methods used flash. Just asking.
I have benn using Pixels since 2XL.
I am used to images being released immediately and where to get them from Google.
I havent had a OP since OP2.
I now have a TMob 8T, bootloader is unlocked, but I havent considered rooting yet as I cant find images anywhere.
Should I expect them to appear on OnePlus's website?
I would appreciate it if anyone has any historical knowledge.

How exactly did you bootloader unlock your device? OP's site is drunk for everybody how did you do it? Or do you mean to say that you are SIM unlocked?
I tweeted tmobile help
Explained to them I am a developer and purchased this phone because I want to get root access
They asked me to pay it off, so I did.
They unlocked the sim
Them OEM unlock switch became active
I did the fastboot commands and here I am trying to figure out how to root

Ok, you basically are a step before unlocking the bootloader, the device comes with a locked bootloader and you must request a Bootloader unlock token from OnePlus to be able to unlock the bootloader, the problem is that their site is completely drunk and keeps giving everybody the same error so as of now there is no way to unlock the bootloader

You need to do two things, first, please stop being rude. People are trying to help you so don't be a butt. Second, you have to boot a TWRP img, DD your current booted kernel image, patch it with magisk, boot the patched img. Then direct install via magisk. As a developer you should not have any issues, but as the previous people said, you need to wait for an unlock bin to unlock your bootloader or you cannot flash anything. And thus no ROOT.
Soooooo, once you get the code, actually unlock your bootloader then boot TWRP and dd your boot image.
And remember,
Be nice
My BL is unlocked

As I have understood it from other threads on here, you need to get it sim unlocked with the help of TMobile first and then you can request a bootloader unlock token from oneplus. This seem to be difficult to do even for legit customers see https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/t-mobile-bootloader-unlock.4181339/
You need a unlocked booloader to root it or convert to a non T-Mobile rom.
Please all, lets keep it on topic and with respect.

fastboot flash unlock sn.img

On my tablet the process failed, I don't know at what point.
I think because of the step of flashing vbmeta (I think) and now I can not even enter TWRP, it does not start Android and neither recovery, it only returns to fastboot every time it turns on.
Do you know any solution to this?
I have already tried to reinstall the OS with the Lenovo tool

Well, I was able to fix it by making various combinations and attempts in the Qualcomm QFIL application until it answered correctly
Now I rooted without flashing vbmeta.img and the file no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip and it still works (those files gave me a bad feeling)
Congratulations! I didn't get it right the first time either.
Install TWRP, set up your tablet, make a copy in TWRP. Note that TWRP does not make a copy of the Storage folder - pictures, videos, music. But it makes and restores a copy of everything else perfectly. I had a chance to see this yesterday.

Oh I solved that problem by selecting Lenovo Phone(which is the first option : "Lenovo手机") and wrote imei1 000000000000000 (0*15). It worked in my case.

Thanks. Do you know what the firmware version is? Mine is 210421 but still doesn't work.
If it has lower version, I'll try downgrade.

No update available through OTA, so I'm flahsing the firmware by Lenovo rescue and smart assistant.
I have an alcatel 1b which I am trying to install Magisk and TWRP on (any decent guides on that would be appreciated).
I'm told I first need to unlock the bootloader.
I am on a mac so I have installed ADB via homebrew
If I run
Code:
adb devices
, the device shows up.
I then run
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
and the device boots up into a screen which says "fastboot mode" at the top
I then try
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
and get
Code:
FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
I tried
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
and
Code:
fastboot oem unlock-go
and
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_code
and get the same response.
I also tried
Code:
ADB fastboot flashing unlock
and got
Code:
ADB: unknown command fastboot
If I enter recovery mode and then select "enter fastboot" I get a different screen with big red text saying "fastbootd" at the top.
If I then try
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
I get
Code:
FAILED (remote: 'Command not supported in default implementation')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Anybody know what I'm doing wrong/what I can do to get past this?
Same issue here!?
same here its because the bootloader is not unlocked and queries all say it is we need a backup or pull of someones boot.img to make a magisk boot img for our particular phone (seoul tct alcatel 5002s 1b) greatly appreciated if i could get a copy of that
To get Fastboot working try to use Alcatel's USB Driver
Download Alcatel USB Driver for Windows (Latest Driver)
Download the latest and original Alcatel USB Driver to connect any Alcatel Smartphone and Tablets to the Windows Computer quickly.

I'm also having the exact same issue. Anyone have a solution yet?

Try fastboot flashing unlock-critical, I'm sceptical of it'll work
this is a goid phone to remove bloatware ob and use it for simple things, like an MP3 player. can someone pull the boot.img or show me where i can learn how to do it myself? and how would i patch it with Magisk?
i may just be a newbie, but doesnt putting the device in download mode let you flash anything? could i be able to flash majisk and obtain root while in download mode? or flash TWRP?
I am hoping to unlock the bootloader and use any customer recovery like TWRP or orangefox. Also Alcatel 1b 5002s (Canada) firmware would greatly appreciate if some one can help?
Its not yet possible to unlock the bootloader. For the past year i worked hard to figure this phone out. All of that lead to this
new link down below, the original file had alcatel protection not removed causing imei loss
that file contains firmware, flash tools and has intstructions on how to restore a lost imei.
Hope it helps you. You can also try to look at the bootloader file and try to unlock the phone.
If you need anything more feel free to dirrect message

Where is the firehose loader.bin file located?
I made an error zipping the file. New link here
It is in description
*firehose included*
I have noticed that in other devices they manage to unlock the bootloader through the EDL mode, who removes and needs to perform Test Point or needs more than that, for example a special EDL cable may be necessary, this morning I was trying to backup my Stock ROM with the Inferno Unitool, the funny thing is that it recognized the port but I don't know, it seemed that something else was missing, in the end I ended up flashing the @KashiNEC ROM with the guide of your audit. I'm still interested in installing GSI to at least get an upgrade to A12, I won't give up in the meantime.

For now its is not possible to unlock. Alcatel/TCL have clearly thought of someone dumping the system and have taken measures. boot partition doesnt contain the usual "unlock" stuff and bootloader seems to be modified and needs to be signed for the phone to accept it. The only thing you can do is upgrade to the newer russian version of the firmware by changing traceability.bin. But theres a little bit of hope. The bootloader makes a few references to a "secret key" and that it needs to be updated. If we can somehow get the secret key, we can unlock
This device is full of secrets everywhere, it obviously looks like a safe.

Interesting discovery. I think i got how to unlock bootloader now. There is a hidden app on this device called TCL TOKEN. It enables you to unlock bootloader, but requires a valid connection. I couldnt get it to connect

I'm in the same situation. It seems that something else is missing or that service is disabled.
For a moment I thought it was my connection or that I was doing something wrong.
