oem unlock is not allowed

Hi, I've got the 6045Y model which I've been trying to install twrp on, but I can't unlock the bootloader; it says oem unlock is not allowed.
I've tried on os x and linux with sudo but it's the same on both sides. As my phone isn't carrier locked, I don't understand why it's not allowing me to unlock the bootloader. There's also no oem unlock option in the developer options.
Any help?

You must do something wrong?
Can you trY with Windows
You need Alcatel Drivers+Minimal Adb and Fastboot
connect device you must enable debugging and then
-type "adb reboot-bootloader" to reboot into bootloader. The device should reboot to the screen showing "alcatel onetouch...powered by android". This is bootloader mode.
-Then type "fastboot -i 0x1bbb devices" should show some numbers and "fastboot" after the numbers
-Type "fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem device-info" shows device info including bootloader status (e.g. locked).
-Type "fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem unlock" to unlock the bootloader; after this you should get, for device info,
-Type "fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem device-info" and you should see "Device unlocked: true"
-To reboot normally: "fastboot -i 0x1bbb reboot"

I tried on windows just now and the same thing happened: "FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)". I should mention though, I flashed twrp before unlocking the bootloader. I wonder if this is what's causing the problem.

I dont remember if this option was there, but you can try. Go into Settings/About Phone, scroll down and click on “build number” continuously until you see a toast notification telling you that you've enabled Developer Options. Go back to your Settings menu and enter Developer Options, scroll down and click on the “Enable OEM Unlock” checkbox, also make sure you enable USB Debugging while you're in the Developer Options menu.

Same problem with same UK model and installed that patch too. I managed to flash TWRP and install PAC ROM still bootloader claims to be locked.
fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem unlock
FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)
fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem device-info
(bootloader) Device tempered:false
(bootloader) Device Unlock:false

easiest way is to download stock firmware with flsh tool for panasonic eluga switch (rebranded idol3),. Flash it with using the included flash tool. then unlock bootloader. Then use mobile upgrade Q 5.0.6 to go back to stock. And you are on stock uk firmware with unlocked bootloader.

I flashed someone's stock 6045Y(Europe) Firmware: 5.0.2-010 03 but couldn't unlock it either. After that I flashed 6045-i806-DCZ. I was really surpriced it let me do that while claiming to be locked and untempered. After that I did factory reset and flashed PAC-ROM. I'm not sure why should I bother to unlock bootloader if I already have TWRP and PAC-ROM flashed. I've no idea how can I even flash rom's with locked bootloader? Maybe oem device-info is bugged.
Anyways I download panasonic eluga switch firmwire, gonna test it after taking backups.

the Panasonic firmware flash also the aboot partition which has bootloader unlock enabled. without unlocked bootloader you could end with bricked device and the only solution is mobile upgrade q.

I did as you said and finally got bootloader unlocked, yey! Hopefully I don't have to go thought that process anytime soon. Thanks and thumps up!

1-You didnt wrote phch model do you have.
2-newer heard of this issue . Install the drivers from the eluga firmware app, reboot, turn off your device, connect device to computer, run the download form the eluga firmware app.

That is the point from my previouse question! If you flash TWRP, your bootloader is unlocked by default!

It looks like MM update dont include aboot with commands for unlocking bootloader. You have to use mobile upgrade Q PC aPP, or Panasonic eluga firmware flash tool (for 6045Y) to go back to 5.0.2. Then unlock bootloader, and flash update to MM (or when on panasonic firmware youhave to use mobile upgrade Q to go back to stock). When on stock, wat for OTA MM or flash MM from XDA thread.

BLL-L21: unable to " activate OEM unlok"

Hi,
I need some help please . After upgrading my GR5 2017 to BLL-L21C185B342 (nougat emui.5) I found that the option "activate OEM unlock" from developer's options is erased (written but not accessible). So I can't do anything later without unlocking the bootloader..
Please can you give me some ideas

It's a bug maybe . Better rollback to MM.

Where can I get MM rollback files for BLL-L21.. Please

there's no rollback files for bll-l21 yet

Hi guys!
Any news about BLL-L21 rollback files? @edwardola . @SmartDrevil

Probably when it is hidden it means that the bootloader is already unlocked ,when starting the phone do you have message saying that this phone is not trusted or something like that

Yes okbakaka, there is that message

SO ITS ALREADY UNLOCKED ,why are you needing activate OEM unlock since its activated by default in case you have unlocked your bootloader

The problem is that I can't flash recovery (twrp 3.1.0) on the fastboot method whithaout enabling OEM and usb debogage options. When I try, this message appears: "failed: remote command not allowed"

You are on nougat or marshmallow?
If marshmallow, then just re flash firmware to relock bootloader.
If nougat then you need paid method, dc-unlocker to relock bootloader
Sent from my HUAWEI MT7-TL10 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

I am on Nougat and I have not a dc-unlocker count . So I should wait for the final Nougat version to be able to re-lock my bootloader?

Oh and due to honor 6x processor, nothing we can expect

Answer: How to root Honor 6x
WARNING: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR DEVICE, YOU ARE THE ONE MAKING CHANGES, NOT ME.
I have rooted and flashed TWRP 3.10 on my Honor 6x BLN-24 with Android 7.0 Beta. Theres a new update 360 and 361 but when I try updating it just takes me to TWRP and gives me an error.
Downloads:
Adb & FastBoot - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Chinese Honor/Huawei program-
TWRP:https://dl.twrp.me/berlin/twrp-3.1.0-0-berlin.img.html (DOWNLOAD 3.1.0)
SuperSU:
How I did it: ( Assuming you know how to unlock your bootloader)
Plug your phone into your pc
tap build number 7 times (developer options)
enable USB debugging and Oem unlock.
(check if your device is connected) type adb devices in cmd
Get bootloader unlock code from Huawei/honor's website
Install Adb and fastboot (just press Y for all)
Use Adb to unlock bootloader with fastboot oem unlock (unlock code) in cmd
then do fastboot reboot in cmd
during reboot, device will factory reset.
setup phone quickly and turn on developer options again, this time oem unlock will be locked enabled, enable usb debugging and wait for the phone to connect to pc.
now, type adb reboot bootloader in cmd (this will bring you to fastboot/bootloader
now to flash (assuming you have twrp downloaded.) type fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-berlin.img in cmd
type fastboot reboot in cmd, and you're done with TWRP.
Done! With TWRP atleast. Restart your phone, download latest SuperSU, then in cmd (still plugged in your phone) type adb reboot recovery
then you are in TWRP! I hope you know how to flash SuperSU in TWRP because I'm not helping you with that.
Good Luck!

We flashing v35 engineering bootloaders
1. enable USB-Debugging
2. Enable OEM unlock
3. enter into 9008 mod
4. do step by step instructions. Video youtube: p8Z0KOUNw7Q
5. And then "fastboot oem unlock" will work.

Because when you 'fastboot oem unlock' successful.
you phone just unlocked bootloader, so you can flash root booted to root you phone.
Flashing back to Stock KDZ: we can flash the stock KDZ for the G7 and keep booloader unlocked but -- depending on version -- we loose access to fastboot commands. To avoid this he mentions using patched LGUP to flash the KDZ, making sure to uncheck the bootloader partitions

Please be aware that the v35 bootloader will hard brick your phone, if you flash stock pie kdz without bootloader partitions. I was in that situation and only recovery option was octoplus again.

yes. and i link his youtube channel

It works using Pie?
If I flash KDZ and lost Fastboot I can install another KDZ to recover fastboot access?

Why not t-mobile?

There appears to be a post (from two days back) on one of the famous Russian forums showing a way to do this without Octoplus by temporarily booting using a rooted boot and then replacing the bootloader using a root terminal and finally doing the unlock using "fastboot oem unlock". Has anyone here tried it / have any thoughts on it?

can keep Fastboot on Slot a when update to Android Pie

I have a question about the Octoplus Pro Box. Is this product better than the Infinite Box Chinese Miracle II? We have some ex demo phones without an IMEI where we need the boot sector unlocked. We want to flush the OS to install a new OS, e.g lineage or ubuntu., preferably an open source linux version. Do you recommend the Octoplus Pro Box or the Chinese Infinite Box Miracle II and why would you prefer one over the other? Thanks for your feedback.

I've done the in-depth test and it's on the Fastboot screen but when I type fastboot flashing unlock in a command window it just shows me the help text for fastboot, which doesn't show any command or option for either flashing or unlock, so how can I get it to work if those aren't valid commands?
fastboot devices shows my phone, so the device is recognised.
EDIT: I'm still on Android 9 A.15. I understand that there's no unlocked for Android 10 yet.
EDIT: Nevermind. I was using adb/fastboot from the link in this guide, which is v1.3 https://www.ytechb.com/how-to-root-realme-5i-and-unlock-bootloader/
After I updated to minimal v1.43 from here it worked https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool

My problem was same. But i successfully downgrade to color os 6. I guess you can try it too.
Enable USB Debugging and Allow unlock boot loader option in USB debugging.
Connect your mobile with PC and use following Command.
adb reboot bootloader
fastbook flashing unlock
Check mobile for unlock option.

How did you downgraded to colour os 6?
