I just learned about the power of ADB and USB Debug. I'm wondering if I put my galaxy device into download mode, can I do stuff like oem unlock using fastboot?
I have a stubborn galaxy j5 pro that refuses to give me oem unlock via dev options (and I've tried everything possible btw). Fastboot would be my last resource to unlock its bootloader.
If I can't do it to root it, then I think I can be happy just debloating with the beautiful ADB commands.

I can get the Samsung Galaxy J2 (Metro PCS) [SM-J260T1] to go into DOWNLOAD Mode with a
ADB Command: adb reboot bootloader
Did not see any dev options to unlock the bootloader for this phone.
Also because the buttons are vitrual on this phone's UI, the Button Method will not work.
Must be done at the low level software or ADB Mode.
Anyway to get the actual bootloader to unlock?
I am using an OPPO F9 pro , OPPO devices(at least mine) does not have fastboot mode as the manufacturers have given no access for that ,the "OEM unlocking" option under developer options is literally useless as it is basically not possible to unlock its bootloader.
My aim actually is to install a custom ROM using any of those recoveries , if anyone can help me regrading how to install any of these recoveries without unlocking the bootloader please help me if that is possible to do so without OEM unlock ,btw my device has mediatek chipset.
I have already set all other prerequisites like ADB ,drivers, USB drivers for my phone etc ; and i am able to use ADB bridge to control my device using my pc.
All i want to know that is there any way by which we can install custom recovery given that the phone does not have any "bootloader/fastboot" mode which indirectly also means that there is no OEM unlock access.
I would again like to clarify that i am 100% sure that it is impossible for most OPPO phones to enter fastboot mode ,i have tried to enter fastboot mode using ADB commands(adb reboot bootloader) and that power + volume up/down after power off ,nothing works for in my OPPO phone that allows me to use fastboot mode.
At last ,i have also asked from OPPO service ,they clearly told me that there is no bootloader in oppo devices
I AM REALLY STRESSED RIGHT NOW AS MY STOCK ROM SUCKS SO ANY HELP WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATED.

You can not flash anything custom without first unlocking the bootloader, there is no way to do this.
Yes, there are devices out there that have TWRP even though the device has a locked bootloader, it is tricky to explain but most of these devices do not truly have TWRP installed in the traditional manner. They merely use some kind of trick or code to trick the device into booting TWRP from a secondary location instead of booting stock recovery from the stock recovery partition.

Simple answer: You can't. And if you unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery, DON'T TRY TO LOCK IT BACK! It will brick your phone badly.

Have you tried looking at indian tutorial videos? I can't tell if that's going to work, since I have no experience with OPPO phones, but this one seems interesting.

maybe that video works for realme devices but all the videos(only except 3 or 4 oppo phones those have fastboot mode given by manufacturer) in which they tell the way to unlock bootloader for oppo devices are fake except for those few i already told, although the process for different brand phones are quite same.

Wiko life 3
Tryed
fastboot OEM unlock , fastboot OEM-unlock ,
fastboot OEM_unlock , fastboot oem unlock ,
fastboot oem-unlock , fastboot oem_unlock ,
fastboot flashing unlock .
fastboot Flashing get_unlock_ability
returns;
0 not unlockable.
When I began I was able to get it into an energy down load mode but, have not been able to again
1) So how is this phone flashed
2) Is there a recovery that can be used on it
3) How is it rooted
You ever figure this out? Got the same phone and wanted to play with it properly.
Edit: I'm not seeing the OEM Unlock switch under device settings/developer settings. Completely missing for me.
Not sure if you have ran across any method yet but this will probably do it for you. I just got this phone but I have not looked to see if it has an mtk processor that is compatible with the program. I have used it to root a couple of other wikos but not the bootloader. Anyways here is the link to the program. https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
I personally could not get it to work in windows because of the USB drivers the site says to use gave me a bsod. If you search on here for rooting the wiko u307as I posted about my experience with the software. I wish I knew about this program years ago.
hey guys mtkclient will unlock the bootloader but make sure to back up the original firmware with mtkclient before you change anything, i got ahead of myself, i forgot to make a backup, i tried to flash gsi, now im stuck in bootloop without the stock firmware to fix it.
Does anyone know how to get a Wiko Life3 to connect to a PC windows 7 USB drivers not available and cant even get it to connect to any tools.
looking to unlock bootloader for this device konnectone Moxee tab2 sold by metro I can't find a thing anywhere not even fake walkthroughs. does anyone know
Developer options >> OEM unlock bootloader
Activate USB debugging
Then use this commands
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot
I've tried those except for adb and fastboot devices and returned error unknown command flashing. do I need to. I'm not new at any of this but definitely no expert. I never really did use those commands on any other devices. I always thought it was for user piece of mind knowing device is connected

if you never tried or used adb, i strongly suggest stopping here. give it a rest or you will hard brick your device.
I'm sorry man I didn't mean fastboot and adb in whole just adb devices and fastboot devices commands. how important are those 2 commands is what I was asking because will it make a difference if I left thos 2 out. because I've never used them in past always thought they were optional
so I do all from beginning of your post this is what I get at fastboot flashing unlock
and this is the readout of when I put the device into fastbootd
Hello.
Forgot PIN on my Galaxy S22 Ultra, and tried to remote unlock it using samsung find my mobile, but it says that I didn't enable remote unlock in settings. Any idea how to enable it through adb, if yes, please walk me through how to do it.
? Adb should be locked if your phone is locked, but this is not a problem.
1. Boot into fastboot mode.
2. Run this command on your PC:
fastboot -w
It will reset your phone without pin code.
If you has forgotten sim card code, so can you take it out.
Now go to settings, enable developer mode and OEM unlocking.

Reboot to recovery and select factory reset (all your data will be erased)
After this when device boot, it will start setup wizard and you will have option to unlock with your Google account that must be same as currently logged in Google Ac
To reboot to recovery : Connect device to PC
Reboot device - keep holding vol up +power

The thing is I can't lose my data. is there any workarounds?
even if I reset it, what is the probability of recovering all data ?
Thank you!
I think your phone is Qualcomm, use Edl mode to backup your partitions with qfil tool

can you walk me through it ? I really don't have any idea about qfil and edl
and I dont really know if my USB debugging is on or off
It would be super helpful

It does not matter whether USB debugging enabled or not , if your phone is locked adb will not work
Any other ways to restore data ?
