Interesting Convo with Verizon on the 905v, how to check bootloader lock? - Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just spoke with Verizon Tech support and they claimed that all 4G devices were already unlocked and were shipped out that way. I also noticed in the bootloader/download mode there is nothing that says it's locked.
So 1) How do I check that the bootloader is locked because adb won't recognize the device?
2) If it is unlocked, bit just won't allow me to use Odin to flash anything, what do I need do?

Pixel 3xl-Checking To See If Rooted or Verizon-See Recovery Mode Page

Bought this phone off Craigslist-said it was bought from Google. Noticed OEM was greyed out and checked IMEI and shows-GOOGLE_VRZ_64G. Looks to be Verizon?
My concern is why lie and could this be rooted. Used ES File program said not rooted but powered off and hit checked reccover mode and does not have wipe cache partition and attaching FAST Loader information. Never Saw those highlightedin green saying Secure Boot yes & Device State-locked. Are all Verizons phones have that in green and is this rooted?
I just want to make sure it is safe to use?
Love the phone
Appreciated, thanks!
The device state being locked means the bootloader is locked. It is safe to use. If it is a Verizon issued device the bootloader cannot be unlocked and it cannot be rooted.

You can buy a Verizon version phone from Google. So it didn't necessarily mean he was lying but perhaps deceptive if you were lead to believe you could root the device. Always ask for the first 2 numbers of the IMEI. If it's 35 it is usually Verizon branded. If it's 99 then Google version.

Question OEM Unlock missing on SM-A326U

Hi guys,
Man oh man this phone...
So basically I'm trying to unlock my bootloader without waiting the 7 days, since I simply don't trust this phone to give me the OEM Unlock option after 7 days...
Before I decided to unlock my bootloader I had been using this phone for about 2 months like normal, sure I uninstalled a ton of bloatware and system apps that I didn't need which MIGHT have been the reason it didn't show the OEM Unlock after months, but the battery life was amazing.
But recently I've been considering rooting my phone, and before I started factory resetting and trying many different things to show the OEM Unlock option, keep in mind I've bee using this phone normally for a couple months, I checked the developer options and not a surprise, OEM Unlock wasn't there.
So ever since, I've tried sooo many things to show the OEM Unlock:
( I reflashed the stock firmware with Odin in between all these methods I've tried )
Also before I list everything I've tried heres the full specs of this phone and the drivers I've installed on my Windows 10
Samsung Galaxy A32 5G (SM-A326U)
T-Mobile, MTK, Network locked, No SIM, NOT Snapdragon
Drivers I've installed on my PC: Google USB Driver, ADB Interface, Samsung Android USB Driver, MTK Driver, USBDk and a few more can't remember the names...
1. Changing date, checking for an update and changing the date back, tried restarting the phone in between, tried turning wifi on and off in between.
2. Combination firmware, got unauthorized error on the download mode screen talking about the pit file.
3. Tried running:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices (It successfully recognized my phone)
fastboot oem unlock: Unknown command
Didn't even run the command...
4. Since its a MTK CPU I had hope for mtkclient https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
It just kept asking to connect my phone, tried connecting with recovery mode, download mode and fastboot mode, none of them were recognized
The reason I need a quick way to unlock the bootloader, is cause I will be doing stuff with this phone that might result in me having to reflash the firmware which I can't risk it relocking and have to wait 7 days each time something goes wrong.
I heard that T-Mobile phones bootloader's are impossible to unlock, someone please tell me that is not true...
So basically,
Is there any way to unlock the bootloader? If not why and if yeah, what have I been doing wrong and how?
Thanks guys
7 days what? Tmo A326U doesnt have the option to unlock the bootloader, you need to pay the people here that provide the service. They are the only ones that seemingly know how to get it unlocked, and I can vouch for it.
Seriously... So there's no way to unlock for free, or by waiting...?
Not a bootloader unlock. Its not just Tmo that are locking these down tighter.
You can unlock it for free if you can figure out whatever they do ;-)
Nah idc about a network unlock since I don't have service for this phone, I just wanna know if its possible to unlock the bootloader... I've tried everything

You said not a "bootloader unlock" so I was assuming you're talking about network unlock... Sorry, but should I just give up, there's seemingly NO WAYY to unlock the bootloader of a T-Sh*t phone.
Oh just misunderstanding my bad. I meant you cant wait for a bootloader unlock, but you can wait and maybe they would carrier unlock it later... but thats not what you want anyways.

That's kinda sad, I think I'm gonna just give up, but thanks for the information... Hopefully something happens in the future that allows it to be unlocked soon... Thanks man
I doubt they'll bring it back. OEM unlock that is. My phone is over 7 days old and I did the factory reset by holding the volume down and power buttons and then the volume up and power button and did the full factory reset. OEM unlock is still gone. Yes I got the developer options turned on. I rooted a couple of Nexus 6p's which of course are obsolete now since they were 3G and there is no backward capability. At least I got them used, replaced the batteries myself and can use them as WiFi phones with Talkatone through my WiFi. Read some blurbs about Kingo root working but I'd like to see that someone has pulled it off with the A32. Am under a 2 year obligation but I bought a second one to experiment on. I did that before I found out there was no OEM unlock. Well, if I break one, I'll have a backup. Except the phone is tied to the SIMM and I'd have to bring the backup in to have it reprogrammed.

There was a similar procedure to unlock bootloader on a samsung mtk (A125U) same carrier as yours (T-Mobile TMB and the same applies to MetroPCS TMB) basicaly, you had to flash BL files from the A125W (canadian version) then unlocking bootloader using testpoint (bootrom mode) then using any paid or free app (in my case i use a paid one because i run a repair shop). even if you unlock bootloader using paid tools, it gets locked again when it turns on. (i tested it without flashing BL files)
sadly, i dont have a A326U lying arround to test said procedure.

Has any one made any progress regarding the missing oem unlock? I know what parameters to add to our kernel v1 to v3 during building to enable oem unlock and add access to fastbootd. Because of project treble our options have changed.

Locking/Unlocking the Bootloader​bookmark_border
On this page
Unlocking the bootloader
Locking the bootloader
Setting lock/unlock properties
Protecting critical sections
By default, most Android devices ship with a locked bootloader, meaning that users can't flash the bootloader or device partitions. If needed, you (and device users with Developer options enabled) can unlock the bootloader to flash new images.
Unlocking the bootloader​To unlock the bootloader and enable partitions to be reflashed, run the fastboot flashing unlock command on the device. After setting, the unlock mode persists across reboots.
Devices should deny the fastboot flashing unlock command unless the get_unlock_ability is set to 1. If set to 0, the user needs to boot to the home screen, open the Settings > System > Developer options menu and enable the OEM unlocking option (which sets the get_unlock_ability to 1). After setting, this mode persists across reboots and factory data resets.
When the fastboot flashing unlock command is sent, the device should prompt users to warn them that they might encounter problems with unofficial images. After the user acknowledges the warning, the device should perform a factory data reset to prevent unauthorized data access. The bootloader should reset the device even if it can't reformat it properly. Only after a reset can the persistent flag be set so that the device can be reflashed.
All RAM not already overwritten should be reset during the fastboot flashing unlock process. This measure prevents attacks that read leftover RAM contents from the previous boot. Similarly, unlocked devices should clear RAM at every boot (unless this creates an unacceptable delay), but should leave the region used for the kernel's ramoops.
Locking the bootloader​To lock the bootloader and reset the device, run the fastboot flashing lock command on the device. Devices intended for retail should be shipped in the locked state (with get_unlock_ability returning 0) to ensure that attackers can't compromise the device by installing a new system or boot image.
Setting lock/unlock properties​The ro.oem_unlock_supported property should be set at build time based on whether the device supports flashing unlock.
If the device supports flashing unlock, set ro.oem_unlock_supported to 1.
If the device doesn't support flashing unlock, set ro.oem_unlock_supported to 0.
If the device supports flashing unlock, then the bootloader should indicate the lock status by setting the kernel command line variable androidboot.flash.locked to 1 if locked or to 0 if unlocked. This variable must be set in bootconfig instead of in the kernel command line in Android 12.
For devices that support dm-verity, use ro.boot.verifiedbootstate to set the value of ro.boot.flash.locked to 0; this unlocks the bootloader if the verified boot state is orange.

how to unlock a locked bootloader ! ( oem greyed out )

So i received a american pixel 4 xl with a locked bootloader. imei starting with 35
i was able to unlock the bootloader here is the steps i took, note im in Australia.
Full OTA Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers
developers.google.com
the firmware on the device was american,
i flashed my countrys firmware (australian) optus/telstra/vodaphone etc
use adb side load *firmware.zip*
factory reset , booted device on with australian sim,
and boom oem was available ,
(last step is to adb reboot bootloader,
and ./fastboot flashing unlock and you will see a message on pixel.
intially with the Original firmware on the device it would not unlock.. i tried factory reset
/ fastboot flashing unlock etc and it would not work...
anyhoo i have not seen anything on here suggested flashing another firmware origin so i thought this might help those with locked at&t / verison carriers, intially it was GREYED OUT AND SAID contact carrier or connect to the internet.
Hope this helps someone ! as all the forums ive swiped thru have said this is not do-able, lol turns out it is.

The firmware does not determine whether the bootloader is unlockable.
When the device connects to the Internet, it checks its IMEI against a whitelist on Google's servers. If it has been authorized for bootloader unlock, OEM Unlocking will become available.
If it doesn't, it's likely that you have a locked variant.

The OEM Unlocking toggle does not lock or unlock the bootloader itself. It simply allows you to unlock the bootloader when enabled.
If you want to relock your bootloader, you do this via ADB while in bootloader mode: fastboot flashing lock

For some reason I couldn't get into fastboot mode, "adb reboot bootloader" would just restart my device. If I booted into recovery, the "reboot into bootloader" option would just start up the phone. But I eventually found out I can lock the bootloader in download mode

Question Any way to Unlock the Bootloader on the 2022 Moto Stylus 5G?

I Have been trying on the Motorola website and it says that the phone is ineligible to be unlocked when i put the Device ID on there site. I mean, why would the phone even have an OEM Unlock option if there was no way to unlock the bootloader? Just asking if anyone else has found a way around this?

ATT doesn't sell your "BOOTLOADER UNLOCKABLE" MOTO EDGE+ 5G.
No single att branded Motorola phone is EVER eligible for official bootloader unlock.
If you want an unlocked bootloader you should only buy it directly from Motorola
Depends on who you bought it from. If you want an unlocked version always buy direct from manufacturer instead of a carrier or Amazon... They always Lock down anything they sell.

att never sells MOTO Edge+ 5g. So either you don't actually own a moto edge+ 5g or you bought an unlocked version from somewhere else like bestbuy but not from ATT.

ATT never sells moto edge+ 5g. There is no att variant moto edge+ 5g at all.
For Motorola phones, usually only unlocked version, t-mobile/metro, t-mobile MVNOs, boost mobile, us cellular and google fi versions are eligible for bootloader unlock. ATT, tracfone, ATT MVNOs, verizon and verizon MVNO versions are never eligible for bootloader unlock.
Visible version used to be fully unlocked version and eligible for bootloader unlock but after visible enforcing 60-day sim-lock policy, visible is shipping dedicated visible version or verizon version motorola phones and they are no longer eligible for bootloader unlock.

So sorry but you are sol! Never buy a device from a network provider because they are locked down! Always buy directly from device manufacturer if you want to unlock it!

I have always been able to unlock T-Mobile/Metro this is my first time dealing with a Verizon bootloader. So basically there is no way to accomplish this.
T-Mobile/ Metro by T-Mobile are bootloader unlock eligible almost immediately, though I have heard of people running into trouble with it before successfully unlocking a few days or a week later. T-Mobile requires the phone to be paid for before SIM unlocking for use with another carrier, and Metro requires you to keep service for 6 months before they'll allow you to network unlock.

I Have been trying on the Motorola website and it says that the phone is ineligible to be unlocked when i put the Device ID on there site. I mean, why would the phone even have an OEM Unlock option if there was no way to unlock the bootloader? Just asking if anyone else has found a way around this?

Its because that feature is always built in to any android device, but it is up to who you bought it from that decides if they will allow you to unlock it or not!

try flasing wtih the tmobile file
download the coverter.bat to platform-tools folder and also extract the zip of the tmo firmware
click on convert.bat to creat a flashfile.bat
put your phone on fastboot or bootloader mode the same when you turn off you phone and hold volume down and powre together when you get to fastboot screen
just click the flashfile.bat
and it will flash your phone then try the above i mentioned to unlock bootloader instructions
thats how i did it
i have tmobile service so it worked out for me
maybe after unlock your bootloader you can reflash the same way for your service like
att, boost mobile, cricket, retus, tmobile or tracfone
again my phone is the xt-2131 version
also everytime you reflash something and have the option to go to the phone setting you have to oem unlock
and adb debuggin on so that you dont brick it

Bootloader question, PLEASE HELP!

I have a TracFone moto g pure (XT2163DL) running android 12, build number S3RHS32.20-42-13-2-1. I managed to get my oem unlock to show up and turned it on. First I tried using the Motorola unlock site to unlock my bootloader but it said it wasn't eligible. So then I tried using fastboot command "fastboot oem unlock" and a screen popped up telling me I can choose to unlock my bootloader and when I told it to unlock I received a message saying it was successful. But it isn't. It said it's unlocked but yet it is still locked anyway. I know TracFone has problems unlocking bootloader's but why would it let me get that far if it is impossible to unlock? Is there anything else I can do? If anyone knows something else I can try please point me in the right direction. I don't mind doing my homework after all that's how I learn but I'm just at a point where I need some guidance.please help me and always thank you so much for your time in advance...
If the bootloader reports unlocked, what makes you say it's still locked?

Nothing is wiped and it still says OEM secured on the fastboot page. The only difference now is when I try to reboot back into system it will first boot back into the bootloader again and then it will boot into system when I reboot a second time
