How to unlock G920W8 bootloader? No OEM unlock in settings...

Hello.
I want to root my S6 G920W8, Android 7.0. There is no option to "allow OEM unlock" in settings. Does that means the bootloader is locked?
How can I unlock and root my phone?
Thank you so much.

i've been struggling to come across a more in depth tutorial. (I'm a n00b apparently) - My device is the exact same as yours, W8 on Android 7.0. Did you figure it out?

Help Unlock Bootloader

I FRD-AL00 B391, i want to unlock bootloader, follow https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-t3554789
But
Step 6, i cant't found OEM Unlock in Developer Settings, and @Rommco05 said Chinese models don't have OEM/FRP feature

Pls help me !

Hope you have all the drivers installed and hisuite on pc. Try connecting once with hisuite and it will install all the necessary drivers. And then try again.
In nougat, you may or may not see the OEM unlock option.
Try changing the usb port and try. Sometimes these small things are difficult to figure out but they work

We need some patience. It may take good amount of time to get the file or we may not even get it. Hope for the best.

Motorola Moto G82

Hi everyone
I'm not sure the section is correct, but in the Motorola section I didn't find the dedicated section and I didn't find a Generic Motorola section
I asked if there is news for the rooting and modding for the Motorola Moto G82 5G https://www.motorola.it/smartphones-moto-g-82-5g/p which I intend to purchase. The international name is likely to be different, but I was unable to find it
Ps
Sorry for my English, I use an online translator

Hopefully soon, looks like a good phone

The unlock code is sent on the same email you used to sign up on the Motorola/Lenovo site.
If it hasn't arrived yet, check your spam folder

Read better the guide I linked...
The unlock code must be used with the fastboot command on PC
For boot.img you extract from original firmware file with 7Zip or WinRAR. To download the original firmware see this guide

Question How do you root moto g stylus 5G (denver/osaka)?

So I've been working with tech for a long time, but I've never rooted a device.
My main phone is a Galaxy A10e, soon to be an S10, and I have a spare phone that I want to root.
It's the (You guessed it) moto g stylus 5G (denver/osaka)
Every time i try to get into fastboot, it just reboots. Any ideas?
Also, is there anyone who has rooted this device before and can help me? Thx if so.
I've been on a lot of websites and ended up with th same result: FAILURE.
So I hope a actual person can help. Thanks!
P.S. I saw comments about T-Mobile and Metro, I have TextNow Wireless. Idk what that runs on tho.

Before you can do anything else you need to unlock your phones bootloader at the official motorola website.
Unlocking the Bootloader | Motorola Support US
Visit the customer support page to view user guides, FAQs, bluetooth pairing, software downloads, drivers, tutorials and to get repair and contact us information.
motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com
Head to that website and follow the instructions to unlock the bootloader. Once you do that, you need to download the Rescue and smart assistant tool and do a backup of your device.
Rescue and Smart Assistant Tool - Motorola
<h6><span style="color:#FFFFFF"><strong>Our Rescue and Smart Assistant tool</strong><br />can help diagnose and resolve issues on your<br />Motorola phone or Lenovo phone/tablet.</span></h6>

Once you do that. You will need to patch your boot.img using Magisk to gain root access.
Do you know how to use androids ADB tools and commands?

Ok first of all, thanks for the bootloader thing.
Second of all, yes, I do know how to use adb.
And third of all, is boot.img just the TWRP file for your device, or is it something else?

Its something else.. umm after you download that Motorola software, plugin your phone and it will automatically download the firmware for your phone. after it does that you need to browse to your C drive at ProgramData/RSA/Download/RomFiles/DENVER_GLOBAL
In that directory you will find boot.img. you need to move that file onto your phone (I put mine in the Download directory.
Install Magisk {see post attachment) and then go ahead and patch boot.img, it will generate a new patched boot.img, you need to flash that onto your phone via fastboot.

Ok thanks, I will do that

OK hold on, what Motorola software?

That's correct.

@jpearson82 Thank you for all of your help, I ended up unlocking the bootloader but then dropping the phone by accident and ruining the screen before I could root it. You have been a reliable source, and I appreciate that. Again, thank you.
