No "OEM unlock" in developer options - General Questions and Answers

I'm using Huawei nova y90.
No option "oem unlock" in dev opts.
(in 'fastboot flashing unlock' gives "flashing unlock not allowed" error.)
How can I make it available in developer options ?

I've searched a lot. For this model I don't find answer why the option is unavailable. For samsung phones there is an advice to change the date, remove auto updates and possibly 'oem unlock' becames available.For my phone it doesn't work.
I ask in this general section because, there's no forums for this phone model.

We will move your thread.

I think unlocking may possible if you can get raw access with (leaked) firehose programmer for huawei.

Okay thanks for that., My main problem is that there is no "OEM unlock" in dev options...So I guess it's locked by default.
I found two python scripts, tried them they work with IMEI; phone enters bootloader, the first script gives error message, but the secondand starts forcing with randoms....but until dev opts is unlocked it won't work..

you know it is Qualcomm and not MediaTek SoC? Do you mean this tool? I doubt there is a Huawei signed Loader floating around for this SM6225 Snapdragon 680.

Error message with Windroid 3.1 in getting unlock code, any welcome please.

Using Windroid 3.1 to unlock moto g 2015 osprey, drivers installed and works perfectly on wife phone. On trying to unlock my phone i get error message.
Houston, we have a problem
An error has occured! a log file has been placed in the Logs folder.
The same error occurs whether oem locking is on or not. Also i am having communication fails when using fastboot, yet the phone is recognised and read to but not written.
Where would i find this log file please and any help offered i would be grateful.

Try adb and fastboot instead of Windroid
As I tried to explain in my post , this is not possible as the phone will not write the data sent. Thinking this is why windroid returns an error.

Did you enable OEM Unlocking the Developer Options menu? Still required...
I would also recommend doing it manually, the commands are easy and the process is simple... if something goes wrong you can see exactly what fails. Tools like Windroid are not really useful for simple tasks like this.
done oem unlock in developer options but not manually as im unsure how. please elaborate.

Gotta be 50 tutorials on-line, there is only one real, official way...
You need at least fastboot (you can get it from Minimal ADB & Fastboot)
Then follow the Moto official method which even using a tool you have to go through anyway to get the tokem

So you have OEM Unlocking enabled in Developer Options and fastboot is still complaining?
What model and variant? Is this a carrier locked phone or a Moto retail version?

He have moto g 2015 Indian variant briefly XT1550
I tried unlocking its bootloader but every time I give command, " fastboot OEM get_unlock_data "

Yup. Followed everything correctly. And if OEM unlocking was deal then it clearly states that in cmd. And yes its enabled.
Sir, I am not sure but would contacting Motorola directly be of any help?

Hmm... That all looks fine. You're bootloader doesn't show Status as ENGINEERING does it? Otherwise I got nothing, it's giving you a remote failure, which is a device issue. Lenovo official forums has a specific area to ask for assistance with unlocking.
There is no harm in turning usb debugging off, turning OEM unlocking off and turning developer options off.
Then do a factory reset
Then turn developer options on agin, usb debugging on again , OEM unlocking on again and try again via fast boot
It won't cost a penny but may help to resolve the issue

Maybe you should read the thread again, OP can't get the code from the phone with get_unlock_data at all, not issues with the Moto site... The phone is getting the correct command, it even acknowledges its an unlock command, it just fails to get data with a "Remote failure" meaning a failure inside the device.

Yup. If that was the case then it was a very little problem and myself could have resolved it. No need to post it here.
BTW can't get unlock code till now. Isn't there any other way?
I have checked the cid value and its unlockable.
You must have known that too.

SM-S205DL (Straight Talk Model)

Hi all,
I have a Straight Talk Galaxy A20, model SM-S205DL. Will root instructions work for this model? I don't notice an OEM unlock option in the Developer Mode menu, but I can boot in download mode. Thoughts? It's been a while since I tried to install custom firmware.

There is a trick where you change the date to some weeks in the future.

Some places claim to be able to change the CID of the phone. Would that help? I imagine once able to load different non-TFN BS firmware on the phone that magic developer option may appear. Or is it a hardware thing and the exynos chip has something to do with it? Not sure how it all works yet. Anyone know what the unlocked us retail model contains?
I'm not smart enough to find out so hopefully someone is and reads this and can chime in regarding all the points...

That's one of the guides that I mentioned that I tried. After using both unlock commands the response was FAILED (remote: unknown cmd.) I tried to use the fastboot OEM device-info command and got the same response
Tablet's OS is Android 11 GO, it got released 2020.
Is "OEM Unlock" option provided in Developer Settings? if so have you turned it on and afterwards rebooted the tablet?
Have you installed the Fastboot driver that's suitable to tablet?
If Fastboot returns "FAILED: (remote: unknown cmd.) " then Fastboot is obviously not supported.

I realized i had my command line in the wrong place and i corrected it and now the commands are recognized but they are still failing. I do have the oem unlock option turned to unlock and im using the adb and fastboot quick setup from xda to use on my computer. I honestly cant figure out where im going wrong this time. Ive used adb and fastboot commands before. Im no expert but im not totally green either. Still thank you guys for attempting to help me out. It really is appreciated

Are you talking about the M8L 2022? I've unlocked the bootloader but can't get it back to recovery and its FRP locked so i can't use ADB. ugh.
Also, its a Unisoc chip I think.
You have to use a modified fastboot and get the identifier token.

Look up modified fastboot for spreadrum devices. There is also a guide on hovatek forum.
For anyone and everyone who has had any trouble locating the firmware files (.pac) for the 2022 BLU M8L tablet, I FINALLY, after more than a month of searching found them on needrom.
Link is: https://www.needrom.com/download/blu-m8l-2022-m0220w/
Since idk if the link will be redacted or edited out, you can also google needrom and M0220WW
Be carefull when downloading the fireware for the M8L and pay close attention to the version your needing. From all that I gathered, there are mutiple versions...M0170WW, M0171WW, M0173WW, M0174WW, and the one I have that I have yet to find anywhere on the net. Its the most recent ..the M0176UU. If anyone happens to have this version, please make a full backup image and post it here. Thank you

Question How to unlock new Tmo variant with OEM unlock greyed out?

Have you connected to internet? What version of oxygen os are you on? And does it say "connect to the internet or contact your carrier" by the OEM unlocking toggle?
Yes Internet. Oos 11. I tried the T-Mobile app for permanent unlock it failed. Doesn't say anything but "allows the bl to be unlocked" but it's greyed.

Permanent unlock is sim unlocking, has nothing to do with OEM unlocking
Thats great thanks
I got it. Set to midi connection so ADB detects phone.
adb shell
pm disable-user com.qualcomm.qti.uim
Now OEM unlocking is ungreyed
Its a no go. It reveals the option, but fastboot commands ask for a token.
Going to the Oneplus token generator with the correct info (because get oem info worked in fastboot) results in a window that says
"api router invoker request error"
It seems these phones are no longer rootable. Maybe when its paid off tmobile will give me a token.
Any ideas?
"fastboot flashing unlock" asks for token.

Thanks Ill get all prudent info in a text file. What a pita. I loathe having a new phone and not knowing whether I can root it. So much setting up already.
I tried it again for the heck of it, and now it says "IMEI number has been applied" ...so I guess I wait for the email?
Never got a confirmation or anything, but searches tell me I should get it in a few days to weeks.

Nothing. Tbh I think Im gonna return this. Its only 128gb version and I was much happier with rooted A32 5G.
Sucks cant even use tasker for fun stuff.
Look through the OP9 forums for the OnePlus Tool..... it helps you get the number you write down to request the unlock code from OnePlus, also it can ungrey the OEM switch
Thanks but I already got that stuff requested. Still no token :-( Been talking to support tho they said they are on it!

OMG !
I have spent 7 hours attempting to unlock my Boot-Loader, and in the desire to prevent any unintended updates, I did not connect my OP9 to the network.
I Think That This Advice Should be Stickied to the front page:
"Unable to toggle OEM unlocking in <Developer Settings> ?"
"Connect to Internet first to see if it's already done !!"
HOWEVER, I still cannot :
Code:
flashboot flashing unlock

Try ,,,,,,fastboot oem unlock,,,,
Its fastboot flashing unlock and I wouldnt recommend anything but using a token, because the rooting information here is fragmented and outdated.
Request one from oneplus and check back on that page you requested it on. Mine took about 3 days.
