Like the title, I am missing the "OEM Unlock" setting in my developer options. I have tried factory resetting(2 times), doing the date change and restart method (20+ times), going into safe mode, and leaving the phone on for a week. None of these things worked! I am signed into valid Google and Samsung accounts as well. Is it impossible to root this device? Is there a way to root it without the OEM unlock setting? Can I flash an older android version and root it? If anyone knows anything it would be a great help to get some closure on whether I am wasting my time. Thanks in advance!
Build Number: NRD90M.G920AZTUS7DRC1

Hey XDA. I need a little help. I tried CF Auto Root for this device, and it didn't work. It just fails. I have run as Odin as administrator, and tried different USB ports and tried different cords, NOTHING WORKS. Please help. This is the Verizon variant of the J7. It runs Android Nougat 7.0 and has the July 1, 2017 security patch. Knox version is in the screenshots.

Bro you have to unlock the oem unlock toggle on the developer settings on your phone in order to use c.f. auto root but I notice that the verizon wireless don't have that option to unlock the bootloader

So, I really don't have any options?
I'm in the same spot with this phone. I found instructions online to root it but all mention the enabling OEM unlock, which the phone doesn't have. I guess either these online instructions are clickbait or the Verizon version is different. Does anyone have any ideas how to root this?

I too have a similar issue only i cant get to developer mode to change oem lock or bypass the frp lock... j727p boost phone All Frp methods involve setting debugging and real term doesn't work either because when i can get it to dial out there is no option for adding new contact or even sending a message.. Seems its all been updated out of existence?

Go into about phone keeps pressing build number you should have it after that on boost !! Verizon bootloader is locked !!
ohk
so conclusion there is no way to root the sm727v?. hm. that's a waste.
You can do bootloader
To do bootloader, you need to turn off the phone, then hold power, volume up and home, and release power when you see the version info thta normally appears. The system will say that it is updating, but just wait.
Actually if you get into the phone settings and look for Carrier unlock you can call Verizon and get number I believe that's how you unlock the bootloader if I'm wrong please correct me I'm still kinda new at this so let me know
What do you mean by "carrier unlock"?
Edit: Thats to unlock the carrier lock, as in, the lock preventing sims from other carriers from working.
Have you figured this out yet?

Hi guys I got stolen my oneplus 6, I need advice to try to recover it.
The lock screen is protected with pattern and fingerprint and I read on Internet that from android 8.1 they will be unable to use the phone even if they do factory reset. Is it true?
The bootloader in unlocked but to flash from fastboot you need to enable "OEM unlocking" in developer settings isn't it?
I'm trying to locate with the Google find device tool but it says "can't reach device".
I send the imei numbers to my provider to put in the Black list.
What else I should do?
Are they will able to use the phone?
Are my data safe?

the fact that The bootloader is unlocked makes the point need to enable "OEM unlocking" moot. then they could use the debrick method to have a working phone. Last but not least, then just change imei number and have a working OP6. this is just a run down of how it could be done. I'm guessing that the debrick tool might be doing a complete wipe and write operation that might bypass FRP.

I know, I'll think twice before unlock the bootloader next time.
But still I think they will not be able to flash from fastboot without enable "OEM unlocking" can someone confirm this?
Is it so easy to change imei? I thought was almost impossible. I don't think that they are so clever and own a debrick tool for oneplus, they're just pickpocket thieves.

if your bootloader is unlocked, they don't have to enable "OEM unlocking", it is already enabled and the bootloader already unlocked, they can flash a recovery or kernel or what ever they want, about the paterns and pin i don't know , but sure with the debrick tool they can reflash everything

Smart or not,when they find out its more job that they anticipated they will just sell it so someone and screw them over aswell. Win + win.. Rarely thieves keep things themselves,they wanna get rid of the evidence.
I'm just imaging the thief browsing this thread taking tips on how to make his new phone usable... ?
That's awful, I bough it not even 1 month ago, I can't believe.
I hope they cannot unlock the phone and leave somewhere so I can recover it.

Just to preface, I'm not a total noob when it comes to android, but I'm definitely not savvy or knowledgeable in any way either.
I purchased a Motorola p50 a while ago from a seller on Aliexpress, and when booting the phone I get a message saying that the bootloader is unlocked. Going into the developer settings shows the OEM unlock option is in the off position, greyed out and with a message saying that the bootloader is already unlocked. However, booting into fastboot and running 'fastboot oem lock' gives me an error message telling me to enable unlocking in the developer options... which I can't do, because it's greyed out. Running 'fastboot oem unlock' tells me that the bootloader is already unlocked. From what I can tell the phone is running the stock android 10 motorola ROM, and I would like to lock the bootloader so that I can use google pay, as the phone supports NFC.
According to settings, the model is "motorola one vision", the hardware version is PVT, the SKU is XT1970-5 and the software channel is 'retcn'
Any help on how I can lock the bootloader, or even just get google pay working would be greatly appreciated.
There exists many threads on xda about this issue and it all boils down to this: your Bootloader thinks you're running modified software, hence locking it will hard brick your device (at least there is a possibility). According to the above linked thread, here's what you can do to troubleshoot this (in order of what could work):
Factory reset your device from Settings. (Relocking will erase your data anyways, Backup is advised)
Flash The Stock Firmware and attempt the lock process again.
Flash Magisk and enable Magisk Hide (this one is dangerous, since a modified boot.img while relocking can hard brick your device as well, do it at your own risk!!!)
Pass Safetynet check by flashing latest Magisk canary, enabling Magisk Hide and flashing this Universal Safetynet fix.
Step 4 is what I would do if I were you, however, advising people on the internet to root in order to solve this problem is not very wise, hence it being the last step.
Alright, I might give the last one a go since I don't know what the stock firmware for the phone is supposed to be. Thanks a lot for your help
Update: after attempting to install magisk with little success, I eventually found a single russian article that solved the issues I was having with magisk. I installed that plugin you linked, and success! Google pay now works without issue. Your help is greatly appreciated
Hello everyone please do help if you can
I have a Samsung A11 running Android 11 now, that I did root when it was running Android 10.
But now I cannot unlock it's bootloader by any means on the internet, I tried all the date change 8, 15, 30, even a year before and ahead, I did reset my phone tens of times without any luck, I flashed an old rom still nothing,
I Cannot see "oem unlock" by any means in "Developers Options"
Is Android 11 prohibited from unlocking it's bootloader?
Here's my actual and latest rom for my device: A115FXXS2BVA1.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I have an old Samsung J3 Eclipse (SM-J327V) that has no OEM Unlock in Developer Options. The phone is approximately 5 years old. I would like to unlock the bootloader on it. I'v tried the suggestions listed on the forum, but they are for new phones to bypass the 7 day waiting period and enable the OEM unlock. I tried them anyway, and they don't work on my J3.
Seems to me that I read that Samsung started hiding the OEM Unlock with Android version 8.0
I was thinking of loading some old version of the official firmware that was Android 7.0 or earlier (if I can find it). Then, hopefully there would be an OEM Unlock that would enable me to unlock the boot loader. Once unlocked, I could flash back to Android 8.1 (newest version for this old device). Would that work? Can you use Odin to downgrade the version of Android?
Comments welcome from all. Thanks!
I've tried following every youtube video and posting on the internet for how to get the hidden OEM unlock back into developer options. None of them work. I swear I have done the process of date resetting dozens of times and it still doesn't work.
Can anybody help? Please! I'd really like to unlock the bootloader. Is there any other way to do this?
