Is there any way to this? Locked out of phone, want to root and install custom recovery but cant untill I enable this to unlock bootloader!
Thanks in advance!
Why are you locked out of the phone?
Stolen phone?
Just want to know if someone work on an alternative to unlock the bootloader, i've just got my phone today and can't unlock it
no there isnt
As the title say I have a J3 with missing oem unlock button in the dev. options.
I tried the "date trick" from new S8/9 with no function
Any Idea how to unlock the bootlader ?

I am not sure but it looks like your device has a locked bootloader, which means (saddly) that installing a custom recovery and rooting is most likely impossible. But that's from what I have seen online. Maybe some people around here knows things about your model.
I've been trying at this for a couple days now,no success but no brick either Every phone I've owned up to this one I've been able to root and flash recoveries and custom roms as I pleased but this phone been tricky for me so I need someone here maybe to tell me my next move... So I called TMobile and I got the rep to give me a permanent unlock for my phone and I checked the Tmobile unlock app and its says permanently unlocked ...So my question now is since I cant seem to get the adb to "fastboot oem unlock" to change the device state to unlocked in the bootloader without asking me for my unlock code ,how to I get this to work? Is the next step requesting the unlock code from Oneplus because I have all the info for the form for Oneplus but don't know how to find unlock code for the form.... Help me out guys ... Thanks

You now need to convert to Int. version, you can't "fastboot oem unlock" on T-Mo version without a stupid unlock token! Follow these instructions ===> https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/how-to-convert-tmobile-op7-to-t3935947

After this, you need to enable OEM unlock. See here.
Once you have enabled OEM Unlock under developer options, the fastboot oem unlock will work.
