no, sunshine is the only way. it is well worth the $25. I recommend doing it now before the 6.0 update makes it impossible
Now I think I can install nougat 7 on my droid turbo without unlocking the bootloader, I saw the method like Download the Nougat 7 Rom and Gapps file, Copy into the Internal Storage and from recovery mode Flash the Nougat 7 and Gapps.
That's it.
It is possible ??

No. It is not. You have to have the bootloader unlocked to flash anything like this. If you try without unlocking at best it will fail, at worst you will brick the phone.

With 5.1 (and beyond, if it ever comes) you have to unlock the bootloader to install any ROM on the Droid Turbo, and on the Droid Turbo unlocking the bootloader costs money. Blame Verizon. The other Quarks have free bootloader unlock from Motorola.
You don't understand how many THOUSAND TIMES we've had this discussion. People even dig up old threads (back in the 4.4.4 era) to ask the question again, as if the answer if going to change. Then they go start a NEW thread to ask the same question.
So i suspect this has been answered as well, but I'm unfamiliar with Android development, but if I unlock via sunshine can Verizon relock it via OTA?

So far they have not. But they always CLOSE the current exploits. So, you do not want to take OTA before you unlock the bootloader! Or you may never be able to do so.
Also, if you unlock the bootloader, usually you are also going to install TWRP recovery (so you can make a backup and have the ability to flash installation zips). At that point any future OTA from Verizon would fail to install because you have significantly changed the "system". That's OK. All OTAs are usually posted here in XDA and many other places, in a format which you can flash manually. You want to do that anyway, to let someone else be the guinea pig tester on just the question you asked.

Not possible at all. Bootloader locked down means no Twrp and no magisk.

Should have done your research before buying. All U1 are bootloader locked.

Appreciate if someone can help.
I purchased a Mi 8 Chinese version with China Stable ROM, unlocked Bootloader after waiting 372 long hours and yesterday installed recently released Global Stable ROM. Everything went well and phone worked perfectly. However, when I tried to re-lock the Bootloader, (using both XiaoMiTool and Fastboot methods) the Bootloader gets locked but the phone goes into Recovery bootloop every time with a message at the bottom that "this Miui version cannot be installed on this device....." When I unlock the bootloader again (by booting into fastboot and using Xiaomi Unlock tool) the phone boots normally.
So can I conclude that the bootloader cannot be locked unless I move back to China Stable ROM which originally came with the phone? I read somewhere that Xiaomi has disable the re-locking of bootloader just to curb selling of Chinese versions as Global, as some sellers were selling Chinese versions of Xiaomi phones as Global after installing Global ROMs.
I'm having the same issue as you just did. Not sure why the bootloader can't be relocked. I thought the model # between HK and China versions were supposed to be the same..
Recently xiaomi makes some ugly rules about local and global variant device to prevent Chinese device selling globally and global device selling into china. For that user can flash global rom to china variant device and global variant device to china rom, but we have to unlocked bootloader. Device will perform normally just find device will not worked. Also antirollback terrible disgusting too. I have some xiaomi mobile device and selling them one by one. Only keeping Mi8. If I need more secure device, I can buy iphone. I no need then xiaomi device.
People loving Xiaomi because of its hardware and software with up-gradation facilities. But their operating system optimization is really bad. Every update makes device performance different.

XiaoMiTool is crap...
Use official MiFlashTool => http://download.appmifile.com/images/2018/06/13/f267b936-45cd-4b3d-b15a-947fb4b674b1.zip

Use the option "Clean all and lock" when installing via fastboot

Actually I was reading some things on the MIUI official forum and * apparently* if you have a chinese MI 8 and want to switch to Global rom, your bootloader must remain unlobcked.... I'm not seeing much confirmation on that, but I would be catious...

Yeah, switching to a global rom on a Chinese variant and then locking the bootloader will result in a brick. But I don't understand why anyone would relock the bootloader since most repair shops find out if you unlocked it in the past.
Relock not for warranty reasons, but to get android pay / NFC payment or other banking apps working. Many of them won't work with BL unlocked.
i read that we need an authorized edl account to relock the bootloader, but now it is impossible to get this account..
so this time i'm very dissappointed with xiaomi.

Netflix app and Google Pay needs locked bootloader.
The Mi Mix 2S has the same problem, it seems this person solved it by using recovery version of global ROM with Mi PC Suite: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2943351&page=2#pid27478883
I don't have the device to test it yet, but you should at least be able to keep an unlocked bootloader and use apps that require it to be locked by using Magisk and enabling Magisk Hide on those apps.

I do not know if I can post the link here, but there is a topic in the MIUI forum that gives EDL authorization for just an unbrick. And you must wait for your position in the list.
Magisk...
I think you can use Netflix and/or banks' apps through Magisk hide functions and so be it

:good::good:congratulations my friend. I was already sad that I did not understand.
Its solution is simple but of enormous importance for mi8users.
I also did everything ok, but at mi8 it was different. I also received "this Miui version can not be installed on this device ....."
I downloaded miflash unlock .... romGlobal was already installed on mi8 but with blockloaded bootloader it did not work ok.
Now I'm happy and with GlobalRom stable very fast.:good:
Hi,
I try to relock the bootloader with Global ROM install but the phone haven't sign-in with Xiaomi account and it get the same message as your guy "this miui version cannot..." . Now I can't unlock my bootloader to revert it and my phone stay at recovery or fastboot, can anyone know how to flash it back?
Hello guys
I'm searching for a way to root my mate 10 pro.
My actual version is BLA -l29 8.0.0.157 C432
I searched the whole forum and saw that the DC solution does not work with the newest Android version. I'm really tired after reading so much guides but no guide will work.
Do you now the current solution to root my phone ?

If you already unlocked your phone, flash TWRP (see Attachments) in fastboot using this command: Flash recovery_ramdisk twrp6.img. Go to magisk official topic and download stable magisk release and flash it via TWRP.

I bought the login data for DC unlocked but if I try to scan it says error 375 .. what should I do now
I am just in contact with Ministry of Solutions to get an unlocking code. Fingers crossed... I will let you know how it goes. Not cheap at 30 Euros but oh well. He requires "friends and family" payment via PayPal, IMEI, and serial number.

Is this TWRP 3.2.3-0 is works with EMUI9?
Anyway thanks for sharing newer version of TWRP.
I got a solution.
As DC unlocker admin said, we should try the IMEI unlocker code option
Can someone test it ?
Ministry of Solutions worked fine for me on BLA -L29 8.0.0.157 (C432)

Hello,
I need to know if the latest Magisk is working with fw 8.0.0.146 C432 and above as a read about boot problems after upgrading the FW some time ago.
Maybe this only was with older Magisk 17.xx versions?
I would be happy if someone could tell me that latest Magisk is working now with my fw.
Thank you

v18 working for me on 8.0.0.157 (432)
I just received a refund from Ministry of Solutions, as they can no longer provide a code for my Mate 10 Pro. Not sure whether this applies to earlier firmwares (mine is BLA-L09, 8.0.0.137).
EDIT: Apparently the service is back up and running. I have since paid again and received an unlocking code. I haven't had a chance to test it yet.
Just to confirm I have unlocked bootloader with Ministry of Solutions code, and running magisk and TWRP. BLA-L09.
can also confirm received a working code to unlock my Bootloader from Ministry of solutions.

You have to select the "wrong" option. See https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...ageos-17-0-oneplus-3-3t-t3990061/post81489665
Also, make sure you are running a rom that has a properly signed boot image.
Los 17.1 and TWRP 3.4 both work with a locked bootloader.
