Case:
My Huawei p Smart is stuck in the eRecovery screen. It couldn't be upgraded.
That means I can't boot the device. I can just boot into eRecovery and fastboot screen.
My device is not enabled OEM unlock in Developer Settings.
Question:
can I somehow unlock my bootloader without enabling OEM Unlock? or,
Enable OEM Unlock without getting into the system?
I have a Samsung Galaxy a516u (usc) that I would like to unlock the bootloader and root
I tried to unlock it and turn it oem from developer mode , OEM unlock option is not there. I also tried to find it from download recovery and the OEM unlock option is not there. I tried to use Odin and every time I tried failed. I tried to use ADB option and use fastboot and it hangs up states entering fastboot and stops. I also went into recovery mode and tried fastboot and It get stuck there. Please help, Any idea what I can do to to make it OEM?

If you don't see the OEM unlock setting in developer options then there isn't anything you can do to unlock the device.
What's the Baseband Version on the device? You can find that under Settings-->About-->Software Information
So I had actually posted about this phone already but I wanted to get a seoerate discussion on unlocking
I am currently trying to flash a stock Rom to an Asus ZenFone 5Q ZC600KL X017DA with a Qualcomm chipset
The issue with the phone is that it's stuck on the logo when turning on it will say powered by Android then goto Asus then stops there
Factory reset is out of the question as the hardware keys only bring me to CSC fastboot mode
Now here is my problem the bootloader is locked and when running device info command in fastboot on laptop it will say something along the lines device unlock false same for unlock critical false
To unlock the boot loader everywhere is telling me I need to enable the slider for OEM unlock in developer and also enable USB debugging and Asus has an unlock tool but it's an apk file
Now as phone is stuck on logo when turning on I obviously cannot enable the OEM unlock it even enable USB debugging
So my goal right now before I proceed with flashing stock Rom is to get the bootloader unlocked
Is there any way to do this any software I can download with instructions or any options to unlock the bootloader via EDL mode
Is there an option to wipe out the bootloader and reinstall it from a firmware
Or is there something like TWRP that I can flash over to the phone under EDL that will give me options to unlock
Thanka
In download mode it says kg state prenormal and i cant find a way to fix it. I tried change date method. Tried to wait 168hours turned on. But its still stuck on kg state prenormal. I have oem unlock option enabled in developer settings but i cant flas twrp wit odin. It says only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed. Pls help.
I just unlocked bootloader on my S7 and was installing magisk and did everything and got the AP patched magisk file etc, and got to Odin and started flashing only for it to fail with this error
Im not sure what to do as this is the correct verison firmware, I unlocked the bootloader, and flashed everything occardinginly
Did you follow the Magisk Installation Instructions?
After unlocking the bootloader, you have to let the device boot and confirm that OEM Unlocking is still available. Vaultkeeper/Knox Guard are still active even after unlocking the bootloader.

Hmm yeah that's what I thought but thought it was already so because...
I unlocked bootloader in dev options but when I boot into download mode it doesn't give me the prompt to fully open up the device it's just normal download mode :/
I tried booting into recovery and "restart to bootloader option" doesn't even exist, so I had to do it via pc
What should I do?

The OEM Unlocking toggle in Developer Options does not unlock the bootloader on its own. It's simply a "safety" that when enabled allows you to unlock the bootloader.
When you're in download mode, do you see "OEM LOCK" near the top of the screen? Does it say "On"?
To unlock the bootloader, unplug any cables and shut the device down.
Then, hold both VOLUME buttons, and while holding them, insert the USB cable from your PC. The device should start with a prompt - Volume Up for download mode, long press Volume Up for unlock mode, and Volume Down to cancel. Follow the prompts to unlock your device. This will wipe all user data.
Once you've unlocked the bootloader, follow the instructions in the link I posted to ensure Vaultkeeper/Knox Guard are fully disabled.

When I boot into download mode it just shows a normal download screen with no text in the top left, no nothing, it's just normal download. I don't get the option to unlock the bootloader as I've said in my last post
