Hi Experts,
I just bought an unlocked OnePlus 7 pro.
I confirmed that it is unlocked. If I go into settings, wi-fi & internet, Advance (Network Unlock) ==> It says the following "This mobile device is permanently unlocked and can be used with any carrier!".
So now, I turn on the developer mode, USB debugging, OEM Unlocking, and boot into Boot Loader mode.
In boot loader mode, I see at the bottom of the screen that it is locked.
Now I try the following command from my machine (connected via USB to the device) ==> "fastboot oem unlock"
I get the following error ==> "FAILED (remote: 'Please flash unlock token first.')"
So what am I doing wrong?
OR is it that even if it is SIM unlocked, I still need another UNLOCK for boot loader?
I saw the method to request it from T-Mobile via OnePlus website,
But my question is if it is already carrier unlocked, do I still need that "bin" file for boot loader unlock?
If that is true, then I suppose I have to request it, wait 7 days right?
Is there any way to do this, without this craziness?
Use the msmtool here. If you haven't already.

Hi everyone,
Today I decided to root my Mate 9.
I started out with turning 'OEM unlock' on and usb debugging. With ADB installed and the huawei drivers, I began to unlock my bootloader. On the 'EMUI Huawei' homepage I filled out my device details and obtained an unlock code. I opened ADB and checked with 'adb devices' if my device was there. It was. So I continued with typing 'adb reboot bootlader'. After that I typed 'fastboot devices'. My device was still showing up. I typed 'fastboot oem unlock CODE (with the code). On my screen I pressed 'Yes'. Bootloader unlocked.
After this step I tried to flash twrp with the command 'fastboot flash recovery xxxx.img'. I couldn't continue because every adb/fastboot command keeps failing (remote: command not allowed). Now when I boot up my phone it shows 'your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted'. Phone=unlocked, FRP=locked. I can't do anything.
Device: Mate 9 L29C432B198
What did I do wrong or what did I missed? :crying:
I had this issue at first to had to redownload the original rom via the phone recovery this will fix the frp lock then u have to unlock and flash twrp 3.1.01 that is linked in the threads on here
Did it format after it unlocked?
You can try fastboot oem relock UNLOCKCODE
Then go to Settings -> Dev options -> enable OEM Unlocking
Then unlock again.
It probably will fail though if FRP is locked, but worth a shot.
Edit: It's supposed to say
PHONE Unlocked FRP Unlock
So I got my new U12+, bought the unlocked version, I'm pretty sure when it updated it became locked??
Anyway, went to HTCdev to unlock and I get this message when I try
Security checking failed DENY
Shows it as locked S-ON
Should I reset it then get S-Off?
Sounds like you might be confusing a few things.
The Unlocked version is the sim-unlocked. The boot loader will be Locked S-ON. Two different things.
Now to unlock your boot loader to run custom software make sure you follow the steps exactly on HTCdev website.
Get your token key while in Download Mode, copy and paste the correct parts. Then unlock once you have the correct unlock token bin from HTC.
Unlocking your boot loader is all down while in Download Mode. Make sure your have OEM boot loader unlock enabled in Developer Settings.
What a dummy....
OK, de-bugging on and OEM unlocking is enabled.
Tried the steps at HTC and got no response from the phone after typing the get identifier command
I'll try again
BTW, is it just me or is it a pain to get the button sequence just right?

It's annoying. But if you have adb on your computer with Debugging enabled within Developer Settings.
adb reboot bootloader
Thatll save you a few a minute or two
OK, so now I'm stumped again,
adb reboot bootloader
phone reboots as it should
fastboot oem get_identifier_token and nothing
<waiting for any device>
Never Mind, took a few tries and new drivers, we're good to go!
How were you able to resolve it? what drivers should i download? I tried twice and i am getting the same message:
Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.
Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won't work.

Im seeing people are rooted and stuff but i dont see anywhere how to unlock the bootloader and root the phone? I have the GM1917 version right from oneplus. Thx
I have the one from TMobile. I got it unlocked but need to get this stupid unlock.bin file from them and it takes weeks I'm told. If your phone isn't TMobile... You should be able to flash TWRP to the b slot and root with magisk. It's what I was going to do until it told me I cannot just OEM unlock from bootloader menu. Boooo
Turn on oem unlock from developer options then put phone in fastboot mode and connect to PC. Fastboot oem unlock is the command you'll run.
I have a SIM unlocked Oneplus 7 pro T-Mobile version that had gone through the process of unlocking boot loader with adb and fastboot.
But when I try the command "fastboot oem unlock". I get an error code with "Remote: Please flash unlock code".
I was able to get the unlock code using another fastboot command, but I haven't been able to find out how to either apply it, flash it, or maybe I missed something?

You must get the BL unlock token from OnePlus.

Used MSMDT to reset to TMO firmware on KB2007 (OnePlus 8T) and now bootloader is locked and unlock token doesn't work again "FAILED (remote: 'Error - Verify Failed ! (4:-2)')" and my bootloader is permanently locked. Any help would be appreciated.
The MSM Tool returns the device to the way it was when you took it out of the box and booted it for the first time. Do you have USB Debugging enabled in Developer Options? You only need the token once. Have you tried using ADB to unlock the bootloader?
I checked oem unlock in the settings, and then tried to flash twrp and got an error saying the device was locked, tried fastboot oem unlock, and it told me to flash the unlock token, but it won't accept the token.
Try requesting another through OnePlus Support then.
