Can't you already do this via ADB in Sidequest once you unlock developer mode?

The bootloader needs to be unlocked first that's where things starts to get tricky.

Can't unlock bootloader

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.

Pixel 3a - OEM Unlocking is active but no option to unlock bootloader

Hi Everyone,
I'm having some difficulties unlocking my Pixel 3a to install a ROM.
I have activated developer options, activated OEM Unlocking, but when I get into the bootloader, there is no option to unlock the bootloader itself...
The only options I have are :
Start
Power off
BarCode
Recovery Mode
Restart Bootloader
I have no idea what's happening and haven't found anything online that would even hint at what is wrong. Does anyone have any idea about what is going on with this ?
Thanks for your help.
when booted to bootloader you need to execute the command
'fastboot flashing unlock'
see here:
How to Unlock the Bootloader on Your Pixel 3a
The first thing you'll always have to do before getting your customization game on with most phones is to unlock the bootloader. Doing so opens the true potential of the device, allowing you to root, install TWRP, Magisk, custom ROMs, and other mods. No matter your wants or needs, there's no way...

To Unlock bootloader
- Install adb and fastboot on your PC. https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
- Run through the initial setup if you haven't already, if you haven't don't bother logging into your google account.
- Enable dev options(settings>about phone>build number>tap it 7 times).
- Go into settings>system>advanced>dev options>oem unlocking, click the toggle.
- While still in dev options scroll down a little and enable usb debugging.
- Plug your phone into your pc. If or when the phone asks you to trust the computer make sure to check the "always allow this computer" check box.
Open up command prompt type into the cmd window
adb reboot bootloader
The phone will reboot into fastboot mode.
Now type into the cmd window
fastboot devices
See if it lists a device, if not you need to install the drivers I linked to. If you had to install the drivers try the fastboot devices command again after installing them, it should list the device now.
type in:
fastboot flashing unlock
You will then have to use the phone to select yes to the unlock. you use the volume keys to select and the power button to confirm.
Your bootloader is now unlocked and you follow one of the root methods.
reboot your phone

Moto e6i Bootloader Unlock / Root

Hey guys! Can you help me please? I wanna root my phone but i cant find a way to unlock bootloader.
Everytime i try to do it using Adb i get the error: failed remote not implemented.
How can i add this device to the device list on Motorola section of the forum?
To root a phone's Android unlocking phone's bootloader isn't needed.
Unlocking a phone's bootloader is done by Fastboot and NOT by ADB. If Fastboot returns the error mentioned then either OEM unlock isn't enabled on phone or the Fastboot driver used is wrong one: use the driver provided by OEM.
Thank you, yeah i tried to unlock using fastboot not adb. I wanna root It but be able to hide It to use banking apps. To do so i need magisk right? And to use magisk need bootloader unlocked?
To root phone's Android OS in NO case Magisk is needed: that's a widespread misconception. Also it's NOT required that phone's bootloader gets unlocked.
But i need to hide root, how can i do it without magisk?
If you would read up on what "root" means in the world of Android, you easily could answer your question yourself.
Look inside here:
Su Command in Linux (Switch User)
The su (short for substitute or switch user) command allows you to run commands with another user's privileges, by default the root user.

Enabling OEM Unlock in Developer options doesn't unlock the bootlader, it simply prepares the bootloader to get unlocked via fastboot command.

I don't know if you are still interested in accessing Fastboot but you can access it using a specific firmware version.
Still, let me tell you that unlocking the bootloader is virtually impossible. Since the well-known generic method doesn't work for the SoC SC9863A, you need to have a special Fastboot's program version and a dedicated private key that only they provide.... and I emphasize the word "dedicated" since apparently ZTE did not use a generic key to sign their ROMS. At least on this device.
Unless they decide to release the key or give support to unlocking the bootloader, all we can do is wait for them to change their minds. Because they don't want to provide it. I know because I tried to order it several times.

I want to root my Nokia 1.4

How can I root my Nokia 1.4 Android 11(Go edition)
Unlock bootloader and flash magisk. Since the device is new, I recon that you will need to wait a couple of months for a guide to pop up. Or you could try your hand with generic guides on web and risk it. Either you unlock and root your device or you hard brick it. Nothing a trip to the service won't fix.

Just… go to dev options and enabwl oem unlocking then download platform tools on pc, boot into bootloader, and do an unlock command. Just find a generic, no-Samsung guide.
