Turn off any network connection, and manually delay the smartphone date by 10 or more days. Turn on a network connection, enable the automatic date and time option. The OEM unlocking option should appear after that. This method works on most modern smartphones. If the smartphone is an older model, installing a combination rom might enable the option to unlock the bootloader. Say what your smartphone model is, this helps other members to solve your question.

Hello everyone,
So i bought a Photon Q LTE online which was listed as the owner can not unlock the lockscreen and thats why he is selling it. As I receive the item, it is as described and i cant unlock it, it also comes to a point only asking for the gmail and the passport.
The reason I get it to reach the fastboot, recovery mode to do a clean installation. But the problem kinda starts here; I can get on the fastboot mode but the bootloader is locked.
I am wondering, what are my options to make this device useful again?
Thank you so much for your helps!
Hey XDA. I need a little help. I tried CF Auto Root for this device, and it didn't work. It just fails. I have run as Odin as administrator, and tried different USB ports and tried different cords, NOTHING WORKS. Please help. This is the Verizon variant of the J7. It runs Android Nougat 7.0 and has the July 1, 2017 security patch. Knox version is in the screenshots.

Bro you have to unlock the oem unlock toggle on the developer settings on your phone in order to use c.f. auto root but I notice that the verizon wireless don't have that option to unlock the bootloader

So, I really don't have any options?
I'm in the same spot with this phone. I found instructions online to root it but all mention the enabling OEM unlock, which the phone doesn't have. I guess either these online instructions are clickbait or the Verizon version is different. Does anyone have any ideas how to root this?

I too have a similar issue only i cant get to developer mode to change oem lock or bypass the frp lock... j727p boost phone All Frp methods involve setting debugging and real term doesn't work either because when i can get it to dial out there is no option for adding new contact or even sending a message.. Seems its all been updated out of existence?

Go into about phone keeps pressing build number you should have it after that on boost !! Verizon bootloader is locked !!
ohk
so conclusion there is no way to root the sm727v?. hm. that's a waste.
You can do bootloader
To do bootloader, you need to turn off the phone, then hold power, volume up and home, and release power when you see the version info thta normally appears. The system will say that it is updating, but just wait.
Actually if you get into the phone settings and look for Carrier unlock you can call Verizon and get number I believe that's how you unlock the bootloader if I'm wrong please correct me I'm still kinda new at this so let me know
What do you mean by "carrier unlock"?
Edit: Thats to unlock the carrier lock, as in, the lock preventing sims from other carriers from working.
Have you figured this out yet?

Why is OEM Unlocking greyed out?
In theory, because you are already unlocked.
This happened to me flashing the stock 11 image over a DIY lineageos build (with the bootloader unlocked). The OEM unlock was in the "allow" position before flashing the stock image but, while running stock 11, I oberved it in the greyout "deny" position with text below it saying the the bootloader was unlocked.
After flashing lineageos, relocking my bootloader (this is a custom lineageos build that allows relocking), I could then toggle the allow OEM unlock back to the "allow" position.
Given that experience, you might be able to reboot into the bootloader, do `fastboot flashing lock` (which will wipe your data - be sure to back up before doing this), reboot and then toggle the OEM unlock to the "allow" position, and then unlock the device with `fastboot flashing unlock` (which will wipe data again). I doubt you will need any unlock code (if you have previously unlocked your device).
Note that I have NOT done this lock/OEM toggle/unlcok process with stock so proceed at your own risk.
Or you could just wait and see if moto does an update that "fixes" this behavior.
Edit: you don't say if your device was already unlocked before you updated to 11. If you never unlocked it, then just wait for a few days with your device connected to the carrier.

I'm not sure then.
If I was in your situation and I didn't mind wiping my data, I'd probably try booting into the bootloader and trying `fastboot flashing unlock` just to see what happens. If this command works, it will wipe your data so be sure about your backups. If it does unlock, you could try rebooting, check the OEM lock (I expect it will still be greyed out with an unlocked bootloader), and then relock and check again. Regardless if you can unlock inspite of the OEM toggle you shouldn't have much to worry about (at least until the next update).
If this doesn't work then I'd just wait a week or so. Alternatively, you could try the moto site, request your unlock key (again) and then wait a few days. It would be silly if this works, but maybe moto just needs to send a reminder to your device to enable the OEM unlocking toggle.
If none of this works, then I'd try posting to the moto official forums.
HTH
Never mind guys!! Just wait three maybe four days and it will automatically be toggle able again!! Thanks to all of those who tried to help me out!
Also a side note: to those of you who are looking to update to android 11, dont because you will not be able to change your preferred network type unlike on android 10 where you could.

I have an old Samsung J3 Eclipse (SM-J327V) that has no OEM Unlock in Developer Options. The phone is approximately 5 years old. I would like to unlock the bootloader on it. I'v tried the suggestions listed on the forum, but they are for new phones to bypass the 7 day waiting period and enable the OEM unlock. I tried them anyway, and they don't work on my J3.
Seems to me that I read that Samsung started hiding the OEM Unlock with Android version 8.0
I was thinking of loading some old version of the official firmware that was Android 7.0 or earlier (if I can find it). Then, hopefully there would be an OEM Unlock that would enable me to unlock the boot loader. Once unlocked, I could flash back to Android 8.1 (newest version for this old device). Would that work? Can you use Odin to downgrade the version of Android?
Comments welcome from all. Thanks!
I've tried following every youtube video and posting on the internet for how to get the hidden OEM unlock back into developer options. None of them work. I swear I have done the process of date resetting dozens of times and it still doesn't work.
Can anybody help? Please! I'd really like to unlock the bootloader. Is there any other way to do this?

I just got the Moto G 5G 2022 from metro yesterday after I broke the digitizer in my N200 5G. I was able to get the unlock code from Motorola's bootloader unlock website, but unfortunately the OEM unlock option is greyed out and says to connect to the internet or contact my carrier. From the little information I was able to find online it seems like this should resolve itself in 3+ days, but because I am impatient I was wondering if anybody knows the package that is responsible for the timer or whatever it is that motorola is using to prevent activating the OEM unlock for a specific time period. I know on the N200, you had to be network unlocked to enable the OEM unlock option, but there was a Qualcomm package that could be removed via ADB that instantly enabled the option. This is my first device with a mediatek chipset so I'm not sure if there is anything similar that can be done. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey mate. I had the same issue. You need to wait 7 days to activate that option. It was greyed out for my phone, too, but on the 7th day, I was able to unlock the bootloader.
Yet, I could not root my phone. Even there's no TWRP right now working for this phone. If you know how to root it, please let me know.

Just root it by patching the boot img with magisk and flashing from a PC.
