I want to know if somebody with android programming skill can unlock the bootloader of a phone....or is it necessary for the manfacturer to provide bootloader unlocking facility?(it has been so long that there is no support for asus ZenFone max sd615 with rooting and stuff,from the company's side).If one can what are the pre-requisites?.....i am having an asus ZenFone max sd615 model.
Hi !
I see that you requested several times to unlock/root your device
I would suggest you to wait patiently , that device doesn`t have any sources to unlock the bootloader uploaded as off yet so it won`t be possible
Cheers !
Hi all,
i need help unlocking the bootloader on my huawei tablet, i have tried dc unlocker but no luck because device isn't supported, i have contacted huawei directly and they said they ended their service in 2018, anyone knows how i can unlock the bootloader without key or if theres a way how to find the key, also it has to not take like a week to unlock (guess) the code.
also does anyone know where the testpads are located on this tablet ?
Anyone attempt to unlock the bootloader, root, or install a custom ROM? I asked Lenovo support about unlocking the bootloader and they said it can be done but would not tell me how. I don't want to buy this until I know I can root it. I am looking at the Tab P11 Pro, but that does not have its own forum (yet?)
I'm thiking of buying the XiaoXin Tab Pro (same tablet/half the price), but i have the same questions as you.
I'm in exactly the same boat, did anyone find any more info?
For "Pad P11 Pro" (or XiaoXin Tab Pro flashed with P11 pro rom), you can follow instructions here to install twrp and root.
unofficial twrp 3.4.2 Root Lenovo TB-J706F - unofficial twrp
Download unofficial twrp 3.4.2 root Lenovo TB-J706F aka Lenovo Tab P11 Pro, user who own Lenovo TB-J706F can root it by following below guide

Except for step "4. Unlock bootloader" where I had to use this command instead:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
And I didn't do step 6
Don't forget that unlocking bootloader:
- wipes all data
- disables widevine Level 1, so Netflix and other streaming services fallback to low definition.
And there is no custom rom that I know of.

Were you able to root the stock ROM with Magisk?
This tablet is currently on sale for $100 off!
I am a tad confused on something, though - GSM Arena says this tablet has LTE, but the Lenovo website makes no mention of LTE...

Oy, I found the answer in a review... " in certain regions outside of the US, you’ll be able to buy an LTE-ready version of the Tab P11 Pro "
So, no LTE in the US version - which means no use to me. Guess I'll have to wait for the Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Plus later this year.

Yes, magisk was working great.
But the widevine thing made me go back to the locked bootloader
Whatever the bootloader has to to with the DRM crap called Widevine. But as long as there is no LineageOS or any other custom rom with more features I don't see why I'd unlock the bootlader atm. I wish there was one, security patch december on a new device is not acceptable imo...
Is there a way to debloat the existing rom?

And you said "But the widevine thing made me go back to the locked bootloader", what is widevine thing??
Thanks!!

I just did it, so i confirm the bootloader unlock and the rooting of p11 pro with this exact method!!
Hi All!
Will this unlock method work for a simple P11 not Pro?
Thank!

Hi, I own the Pro and would like to root. If I root with this method, after rooting, if I lock the bootloader again..... Do I still have Root? (and if yes: with what command did you relock the bootloader & does (after relocking) netflix and stuf run high-res againg?
the stock rom looks fine, but I'm concerned for updates, lenovo is known for forgetting to update the tablets, also loosing the sound quality will be something to be considered by a future rom developer

Hi, relocking the bootloader is like doing a factory reset.
You lose all apps and data (and root, obviously)
I am also having the same problem.. help .. haha
So, is there any hope for LineageOS on P11 Pro / Xiaoxin Pad Pro? I'd say that if any android tablet deserves it, this is definitely the one. It has superb hardware (honestly it feels like handling an iPad Pro) and a very sensible price on many distribution channels.
i have an issue with the bluetooth that can´t repair anything and it´s possible to be rom´s fault, the recommendation is to change the rom to another one but yeah, there is no custom roms for this device yet :s

Hey there, I know this post isn't recent, but I just discovered it and was hoping to ask a question or two.
I just picked up this tab, the J706F model, and I would really like to root it. However, when following that websites steps, including your experience of not flashing step 6, it still doesn't work. I get booted into the bootloader everytime, and there is no way to resolve this but to rescue the device back to stock. I've successfully unlocked the bootloader, and I have quite a bit of experience with tinkering around, but this has got me stuck. I can't seem to get Magisk on here. TWRP on the other hand isn't an issue. I have that installed and it works just fine.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated for getting root on this device.
Hi,
I have unlocked my rog 5s using official app.
I did some playing with roms and installed official firmware by flashing RAW firmware.
I have locked the device using below command.
fastboot oem asus-lock
Now that my phone is in unlocked Rog phone list, I am not getting any updates nor Asus Unlock app is working.
I want to unlock my phone again and install some GSI roms as I officially don't get any updates from ASUS.
Any help is appreciated........
Maybe by changing the device rom and fingerprint back to Chinese version and hoping that the unlock tool will pick it up as a good match - Guess being that your phone is a CH>WW convert and not an original Global/WW version from factory.
Re-locking converted devices is a bad idea. It's posted and warned about so many times in this forum by other CN device owners...
