Hi everybody!
After the precious advice of user ndt192, I managed to unlock my SKR-A0 which, until this day, seemed un-unlockable.
THIS PROCEDURE WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE MEMORY SO REMEMBER TO BACKUP EVERYTHING
TL;DR
In developer options, OEM Unlocking must be ticked (if present), then I just issued a fastboot oem unlock while in fastboot mode.
I'm on the latest OTA (29-12-18, v. G66X1812291CN00MPX).
Full Tutorial
Enable developer options by tapping 7+ times on Settings -> About Phone -> Build Number
Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking (if present) in Developer Options (Settings -> Other Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Developer Options)
Open a terminal and issue the command adb devices
On the phone, allow the access from your computer on the dialog that will be shown
In terminal adb reboot bootloader
Wait for the phone to reboot in bootloader mode
STOP AND THINK - DID YOU BACKUP EVERYTHING?
Issue the command fastboot oem unlock and wait for the OKAY in the terminal window
Reboot your phone with fastboot reboot
Now, you will be informed that because of the unlocking your phone memory is "corrupted" (aka not decryptable anymore) so the phone needs to be wiped. Agree and wait.
Hopefully, your bootloader will be unlocked now. You can check that by returning to fastboot mode and checking that the Status is Unlocked.
If you want TWRP/root, check out this thread.
This procedure didn't seem to work until a few months ago so I don't know exactly if this procedure works only on newest Joy UI versions or not. Try it out (at your own risk).
IMPORTANT - if you can't unlock with these steps, please post here with the version of Joy UI installed and the message shown after the fastboot oem unlock command

Hello everyone, I was in China recently, and bought my OPO there. Therefore, it came with colorOS.
I wanted to change it to the rom to SlimSaber. Unfortunately, I've been unable to do so.
To unlock the bootloader I'm using this set of instructions:
[GUIDE] OnePlus One - How to Unlock Bootloader, Install Custom Recovery and Root - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632
I think my problem is while unlocking the bootloader. I get into fastboot mode, and using the android-sdk devices I'm able to get the serial number of the phone.
But, when I run the fastboot OEM unlock, nothing happens. Everything should be erased, right? Well, that doesn't happen. After that, I enable the USB debugging, but after, when I'm supposed to disable the 'Updater recovery with system updates' I simply don't see that option.
Can anyone help me? Do you need any more info?
Tanks in advance;

My MIUI version is 7.5.2 (Chinese Stable) . I want to unlock the bootloader and flash custom rom like sMIUI. Tried the official way to unlock and i got the sms with the verification key but failed while unlocking at 50% which is very frustrating. Would be grateful if anyone please help me in details cause i have less idea about flashing any mobile phone.
Someone has created a thread about the process (link below) but it says it won't work with the higher MIUI versions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/general/guide-unlocking-mi4c-bl-verification-t3336779
Please help me...
I unlocked 7.5.2 (not china version).
You can try the last 3 steps in the guide you linked. :
Reboot into fastboot mode (Power + Vol Down)
Command: fastboot oem unlock -> at this point you should have an unlocked bootloader
Now optionally install TWRP and subsequently CM 12.1 and enjoy (see respective linkes in the requirements for a howto) - TWRP: fastboot flash recovery <twrp>.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then check if unlock was successful :
fastboot oem device-info
When did you receive the SMS notification? It may take a couple more days for you to be able to actually unlock. Not your fault, blame Xiaomi.

Can you please tell me in details how i install sMiui or other stock roms? Cause i don't have any idea u talking about. I have very less knowledge about the thing.
I used the same method like mesziman mentioned, worked great for me.
But you should try the developer version ! Some guys had same problem with stable...
Edit: Links i can´t give you (maybe someone else complete) but first of all you should get all and the latest driver. I think for that you could install the xiaomi suite from en.miui or miflash, don´t remember well.
Then you have to unlock bootloader like written before by mesziman. I used for that a adb program on my pc, don´t remember the exact name.
Go into fastboot, connect phone with pc. -> commands. Then you unlocked bootloader.
Now you can flash the recovery with for example odin (pc program) and thats it.
(install rom)
But look for a step by step guide. There is written exactly what to do.

Hello,
My phone: Oneplus 6
After doing more manipulation, I find myself with my bootlader to lock and more OS, So I can not activate the OEM option.
So I'm stuck in the bootloader:crying::crying:
I thank you in advance for your reponce
activate developer options and select usb debugging and oem unlock, restart in fastboot mode connect the phone to a pc and in adb shell write: fastboot oem unlock
After that all your data will be wipped
Have you tried hitting it with a hammer?

I no longer have access to the developer mode, because I am no longer an operating system
Does it show up when you type fastboot devices?
What guide did you follow?
What steps did you skip?
If you see your device in fastboot devices you can go to guides and use the fastboot rom thread to get it working.. That works if you managed to unlock the BL, I'm having a hard time understanding if u managed to unlock it or not...
Don't waste your time
in thinking
reading posts
trying different things
Just Use Unbrick tool, it takes 5 minutes to bring any OP6 back to stock with locked bootloader, then upgrade back to Android Pie.

Hello, do you have a link to this tool?
I have a pixel phone with hardware version status is PVT (Production Validation Test). Can I unlock & install twrp on this phone?
Pixel
Android 10
Build number
QP1A.191005.007.A3
Thanks for your help
If you have a Verizon model then unlikely
If you have a unlocked one, go to Developer Settings and enable oem unlocking and usb debugging, reboot to fastboot then type: fastboot oem unlock. It will wipe your data so make a backup first.

I look into bootloader yesterday.
It says
Product/Variant: Sailfish-US-PVT
Boot Slot : b
console: Disabled
Secure Boot: Production
Device is LOCKED
I can use any network on this phone
How about this info, is it Rootable?

It seems like you have a Verzion model, go to About Device, press Build Number 7 times and go back, you will now have a Developer Settings in the list. Press it and look for Allow OEM Unlock. If it grey out then unfortunately, your Pixel might not be unlockable. If its not, press it and reboot to fastboot. Open ADB and type: fastboot oem unlock . A unlock screen will appear and it will warn you about unlock the bootloader will wipe your data. Press unlock if you have made a backup of your data ( you can continue without making a backup ) or reboot back to android and make a backup if you want to keep your data ( any changes will be reverted ). After that, your device is unlocked and you could install twrp on it. Search google for how to install twrp on pixel since the way to install twrp on pixel is different than other devices.
Wait a second, have you ever factory reset the phone since the day you bought it?

How can I root my Nokia 1.4 Android 11(Go edition)
Unlock bootloader and flash magisk. Since the device is new, I recon that you will need to wait a couple of months for a guide to pop up. Or you could try your hand with generic guides on web and risk it. Either you unlock and root your device or you hard brick it. Nothing a trip to the service won't fix.

Just… go to dev options and enabwl oem unlocking then download platform tools on pc, boot into bootloader, and do an unlock command. Just find a generic, no-Samsung guide.
