[Q] What happens if I unlock a dev edition? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just as title says. I'm new to these unlock stuff and accidentally tried unlocking (did every steps to the end) a dev edition of HTC ONE (which I figured out later that it came bootloader unlocked).
So, is it any harm to the phone? Do I need to reverse the locking status? (e.g fastboot oem lock?)
Thanks in advance

No should be fine

[Q] How to unlock a relocked bootloader?

So I have a developer edition HTC One, and it comes bootloader unlocked. So I tried a few ROMs and decided to go back to stock and I needed to lock the bootloader to run RUU. So I did fastboot OEM lock, and now the bootloader says relocked. So I want to do the Google Edition Conversion and I have no idea on how to unlock a relocked bootloader. Reading that back to my self it sounds ridiculous but any help would be amazing. Thank you.
You would need to unlock it like if it was locked from HTC. Go to HTC dev's website and follow the process to get an unlock token. It gives step by step instructions.

Strange think with bootloader unlock

3 moths ago I have bought this device from the person, which said to me that the device is a Developer edition. The device had pure lolipop on it.
The device could be unlocked just using fastboot oem unlock. I have unlocked the bootloader, flashed couple of roms but I needed to get back to stock because I needed to send my phone to the waranty because of the camera isssue. So I have relocked bootloader and restored backup and send my phone for repair.
In the servis they have succesfully repaired my phone and send it back, but with HTC Sence kitkat rom on it. I have asked them why and they said that they had this phone in database as normal edition. I have tried again to unlock the bootloader using fastboot oem unlock but it was inpossible. I needed to get the token from the htc webside to succesfully unlock my device which I found really strange.
How it is possible that one time, device can be unlocked using fastboo oem unlock and second time not?
PS: It should be in QA thread, sorry ...

Only GPE variants of the M7 can be unlocked using "fastboot oem unlock" all other variants must use HTCDev.com. The stock developer edition have its bootloader factory unlocked.
Developer Edition M7 are also running Sense, the only variants not running sense is GPE.

Phone was probably a converted GPE edition. Then they have restored the original version on the phone, including the corresponding bootloader which can not be unlocked using "fastboot oem unlock"

[Q] Re-Unlock the Moto G bootloader?

Hi, some time ago I unlocked the titan's bootloader and re locked it, I tried rooting it again but I get Preflash validation, so i guess I need to unlock it again, wich makes no sense since everytime I boot up the warning shows up that the bootloader is unlocked, I have tried Motorola's website for unlocking the bootloader but my phone is ilegible anymore.
What can I do?
Thanks
Never mind, I was neglecting the spaces between the strings of numbers, I have got the unlock key already.

Before you close, explain this for the newbies. I have the same problem, the OEM Unlock option in developer mode deosn't work, so I flash the stock signed ROM and after this I be able to unlock.

Hi, sorry that this is old, but I've had my XT1900-5 for a few months and want to start rooting it finally. But I haven't bothered much because of the issue I've read about unlocking this bootloader. What signed ROM etc. ? Any help to get me started would be useful.
no complexity,just follow the instructions in moto website , copy the code properly(use the moto recommended tool for accuracy) & you are good to go,for twrp & root see the forum.

oem unlocking non persistent on g6

Hello I have a new Moto G6. I have enabled developer options and I've enabled OEM unlocking. But it doesn't seem to stay enabled between reboots? I just bought this yesterday. I'm trying to unlock the bootloader, but I can't unless OEM unlocking stays enabled. Am I missing something? I know there's currently no root for the G6, but still I think I should be able to unlock it, or am I mistaken?

That just allows the bootloader to be unlocked. You still would need to actually unlock it following the unlocking guide thread in the guides section

Yes I know this is not root, this is just unlocking the bootloader, yes I do have a key from motorola. But I can't do anything if OEM unlocking will not persist between reboots. I'm just trying to unlock the bootloader. And yes it is unlocked for sims.

I said nothing of root. Unless I am missing something from your original post, "Allow OEM unlocking" just allows the bootloader to be unlockable. After you tick it, reboot directly into fastboot mode (not back into android, that'll untick it again).
[GUIDE] Unlock Bootloader - This states after enabling OEM Unlock in settings (from within Android) to reboot into the bootloader (This guide says power off and then power back on while holding volume down, if you have debugging on you can just "adb reboot bootloader"). Rebooting back into Android with the bootloader still locked I believe does untick the OEM Unlock option.
ok thanks, I'll try again.
I have the XT 1925-6 US unlocked version. One of the first things I do with a new phone is to enable Developer Options and toggle OEM Unlock even though I may not Unlock the Bootloader right away.
The OEM Unlock toggle has stayed persistently on through numerous reboots with the Bootloader still locked.
Hmm.. Well I could have sworn I had seen what was described before, however it has been a while. I unlocked mine all in one go so I can't say. If it's supposed to stay on then I'd really be curious why it isn't for jloh
