Yes, unlocking the bootloader will factory reset the device.

Bootloop
I'm wondering how I even did that now..I cant remember the process..I'm also trying to unlock bootloader on a newer samsung A102

V10 h900 root

Does the V10 h900 have root capability for marshmallows?
I am also looking for root on marshmallows, any help will be greatly appreciated. thank you so much in advance
I can't remember. Can you unlock the bootloader on the H900? If so, you can root it -- even on Nougat.

In developer options, you can tick on OEM unlock, but I'm having a problem booting into the bootloader to finish the adb instructions to unlock the bootloader. Is there another way?

It's not possible to unlock the bootloader on the H900 via the LG website anyway.
I cannot post url's here but if you go to androidsage and search for the LGV10 you should find some useful instructions on how to root the device without unlocking the bootloader first.
I cant find anything

Hey guys,
ive got to telll you its getting frustrating. There is no way to access the bootloader .. Ive searched for 2 Weeks now. I watched like 100 Videos and read 900 Websites. But everyone says : Now access bootloader , Now access recovery mode. But that doesnt work at all. I think both modes might have been removed from the phone. Because everytime I try to access the bootloader my phone just restarts. And everytime I access the recovery Mode it says: No command . And yes I tried the combinations and adb I tried everything but nothing worked. Please help me

Samsung*J7 Prime SM-J727T1*Nougat*CF-Root

Before I do this, can ANYONE confirm if this works with my version of j7 SM-J727T1 before I turn it into a brick?
https://www.androidinfotech.com/2017/09/j7-prime-sm-j727t1-nougat-cf-root.html
After searching and reading related threads on other version I think i found a thread that's already talking about this particular model. Sorry if this is an unnecessary thread.
I tried it, didn't work.
It get's stuck at the downloading part and says "secure check failed - [recovery]"
I have tried this method and it didn't work. It requires that your bootloader is unlocked. I have MetroPCS j727t1 and my bootloader is locked and the option in developer options to enable/disable is not there. Because of this I could not root. If your bootloader is unlocked then I can only assume it will work.

If you to your apps folder then go to the metropcs folder
there is a app called "unlock device". When you run it, it wl
Fail at the end. To get it to work call metropcs customer support and they will enable that app to work. I have done this on three SM-J272T1 phones two 16gig and the 32 gig verson.

Phone just crashed. Could it be because of an unlocked bootloader ?

I opened up the developer options on my Moto G Stylus and went under OEM Unlocking and selected the allow the bootloader to be unlocked option. That was either last week or a few weeks ago because I wanted to root it and put a custom rom on it. I didn't rooted it yet because I'm not sure what roms are good, I only had cyanogin mod roms on my other phones and I'm not sure which rom is the safest and best to use so I still use the stock rom. I turned on Pandora to play music before I went to sleep. When I woke up my phone was in some kind of recovery mode and said something like the operating system failed to boot. Two options were available, 1- to try booting again, and 2-factory reset the phone which would erase all data. I selected 1, and my phone booted up. Could this be because the bootloader is unlocked? Does having the bootloader unlocked leave it suspectable to being hacked? Could my phone have been hacked?

Would selecting the bootloader option to be unlocked in the developer options make my phone more vulnerable to be hacked?
A few hours later my phone did the same thing and went into recovery mode saying that my phone could not load the OS and might be infected or something. I had the same options to either try to load the OS again or factory data reset the phone. How could this happen?
I factory data reset my phone this time. I just hope I don't have some kind of malware.
Mine was hacked like this. Changed stuff so it won't boot back to original. Got into system files and remote control my phone. Is there a way to get back to original without computer? It's useless now

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.

How to un-freeze an unresponsive Samsung Galaxy A32 5G with reboot, reset, factory reset, odin mode, download mode, android recovery mode & debug mode
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.

Can you provide more details?
The bootloader lock prevents flashing and booting of unsigned images. With a locked bootloader, download mode does not accept custom software; all software packages must be OEM signed.
An unlocked bootloader (with Knox Guard disabled) will allow flashing custom firmware, such as TWRP recovery.
So, in that sort of sense, I suppose the bootloader lock does control what download mode will accept via Odin.

Ah, ok. That makes a little more sense.
The bootloader has to be unlocked in order to flash custom firmware.
The process works like this:
Turn on OEM Unlocking in Developer Options (allows bootloader to be unlocked)
Boot device into unlock mode - starting with device off, hold both Volume buttons and plug in USB cable)
Follow device instructions to unlock (will wipe data)
Boot into system, allow system to connect to Internet to disable Knox Guard
Reboot into download mode, use Odin to flash TWRP
Use TWRP to flash custom ROM
So, if OEM Unlocking is not available, you can't do any of this, because that is the first step.
Unless you have factory restarted your device within the last week, no oem unlock means no custom firmware. You have the snapdragon variant, right?

thanks for the answer, but i was wondering is there a way in which the oem unlock option can be hidden and unhidden or some way in which you can be prevented from unlocking the bootloader, because even the wipe data/factory reset is disabled, i came across this kind of devices and i was just curious is this entailed in android development or what material can you recommend if i want to know more about this

Bootloader lock doesn't prevent a factory reset. The screen you showed is recovery mode, not download mode. That's really strange, I've never seen factory reset hidden before

I think this is the clue. You have a organization managed device with an MDM lock (Mobile Device Management). MDM is used by enterprise IT departments to manage devices and can prevent bootloader unlocking as well as factory reset.
Let me guess, you bought this device used?

I think your only option is to find out which company the phone belonged to before. If they removed it from their fleet, they can probably remove the MDM lock. This is actually pretty common - enterprise managed devices will be "retired" from fleet service and sold without being properly decommissioned - they're wiped, but the IT department doesn't remove the MDM lock.
They might or might not unlock it for you, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

so technically i can't find a way around it myself, i just have to request the company
There is no way I know to bypass it.

MDM locks typically can't be removed by the end user. That's the whole point - to prevent employees from using devices inappropriately and removing them from enterprise management via factory reset
