No... There is no "magic" or anything else... If OEM unlocking is not turned on, then you cannot unlock the bootloader.
I left my phone to charge overnight. And the next morning, My phone gets into bootloop. I was able to turn it off manually through fastboot by using (holding power button + volume down key simultaneously).
My Phone able to get into Fastboot and Recovery mode, So I tried the following troubleshooting:
1. Factory reset through recovery mode. (No luck)
2. Flash latest factory image. (Bootloader locked)
3. Rescue OTA. (No luck)
Phone will still bootlooping. My phone totally unusable now. I can't RMA because I live in Singapore and bought this phone from Singapore (online marketplace) about 1 year + ago.
Here is the result after typing "fastboot getvar all" command:
(bootloader) current-slot:a
(bootloader) slot-retry-count:b:2
(bootloader) slot-unbootable:b:no
(bootloader) slot-successful:b:yes
(bootloader) slot-retry-count:a:2
(bootloader) slot-unbootable:a:no
(bootloader) slot-successful:a:yes

Yes, It's a Verizon version and the bootloader can't be unlocked.
I used a hairdryer on the back to heat it up to get into developer options and quickly check allow unlock before it rebooted. I am still getting things fully restored but it's closer.
Hi,
I'm having a problem with my HTC U11 Life (US Sense version). After powering on the phone, the screen turns black after a few seconds. I have time to enter my code but accessing settings or other apps is impossible. The issue persists when I boot into safe mode, meaning it's an issue with a system app. Strangely, some system dialogue options stay on, such as the Safe Mode text and the power/restart/airplane mode display. I tried to unlock my bootloader using HTC's official method, but I don't have the setting enabled to do so, and I can't access the settings mode. At this point, I'm fine with losing all my current data if I can fix things.
For reference, this is what "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" returns:
Code:
...
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X00, disable unlock
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] oem unlock Turn Off!
OKAY [ 0.043s]
finished. total time: 0.046s
TLDR: Does anyone know a non-official method to unlock the bootloader and flash the stock firmware?

I dont know if there is an up-to date system.img for the us sense version or if you are able to flash it with a locked bootloader but if you could get one, flash it and reset the device using the stock recovery it should work again. I dont think there are official full firmware/software files for the US Sense Version to flash with the stock recovery or a RUU but this would be the best way.
To unlock the bootloader you could also use sunshine s-off, if i remember correct it supports the us sense version of the u11 life but its about 25$ for each device you want to unlock.

We still have the waiting game to see if they will let us unlock the bootloader. I don't see why they would release that if they have no plans to allow unlocked bootloaders. If anyone knows of any way we can help to get it done quicker, it would be good to know. Like a petition to unlock bootloader.

In my country ,china, a person who name is HCT_Mascot_洛克人EFI in weibo say he has already unlocked the bootloader and in the taobao which same as ebay you can unlock it by 30rmb. I don't know how they make it why they don't release it.
Yes I heard you can pay $5 to get bootloader unlocked but I haven't seen anyone with the bootloader unlocked yet so don't know if it's true. I don't think we should have to pay anything. They should share how they are doing it so we can all do it for free.

You can unlock the bootloader using this site officialy by nokia....not tested but it's official nokia website

That is only for Nokia 8. I tried when I first got the phone app just crashes.
you can unlock x5 (5.1 plus) bootloader by putting your phone in fastboot/bootloader mode and typing "fastboot flashing unlock" in cmd (you need to connect your phone to a pc with adb and adb drivers)

Show some proof that you have unlocked bootloader ?
Well, I sold my X5 and now I am using a Oneplus 3t
If you are on pie, first enable the developer options, then access the developer options menu, switch the developer options off, then back on, you can slide the OEM unlocking switch to on and confirm it with password/figure. After that switch the ADB on, connect the phone to computer via usb and "sudo adb reboot bootloader" ...
sudo fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability
...
(bootloader) unlock_ability = 16777216
OKAY [ 0.008s]
finished. total time: 0.008s
So it's now in somekind of state it can be unlocked...
However: sudo fastboot flashing unlock_critical
...
(bootloader) Start unlock flow
FAILED (remote:
Unlock operation is not allowed
)

Yeah same thing for me, but
Code:
(bootloader) unlock_ability = 16777216
clearly said that the bootloader is unlockable
in Google devices a

fastboot flashing unlock_critical
should come with:

Hello everyone,
I have a Mi 8 with a global rom unlocked. With fastboot, I re-locked the bootloader and now fastboot says :
"(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false"
So it's done. But now the phone can't restart and in the Mi-Recovery I have a red message saying "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device".
I specify that I can only boot on Mi-Recovery or FASTBOOT mode.
So I tried to re-unlock the bootloader but fastboot says : "FAILED (remote: Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device)".
I tried with the Mi Unlock tool but I get an error : "Please add your account in MIUI's Settings > Developer options > Mi Unlock status."
Now you understand my problem, I can't go to these developer options because my phone doesn't want to start.
Can someone help me ?
Thank you
Update
I need to flash my Mi 8 via EDL mode but I also need an authorized account for that.
Can someone help me?
