OEM option grayed in settings - Honor 5C Questions & Answers

All is in the title. Oh I forgot, I think I'm on a weird rom/firmware, because Bluetooth is no longer working, speakers are weird and some stock apps like clock or calendar disappeared

All the problems in the post, plus the fact that when I try to flash twrp I get an error

OMG, tell me what firmware are you using. Is the Bootloader unlocked? if it is grayed out, you have to fastboot oem relock 0123456789(your code), and then you will be able to turn on OEM Unlock, and fastboot oem unlock either, and flash twrp, but you need special twrp, the 3.0.2.0 doesn't work, or 3.1.0.0 from original TWRP site. Quote mine message if you have some questions, thank you.

Thx, im gonna try to relock it (it was unlocked). So I have to relock it, turn on oem unlock then re-unlock the bootloader to flash twrp. Is the 3.1.0.0 working?

When you turned on OEM Unlock(it seems that you have 5.0 EMUI), you have to unlock after turning on the option, and flash the 3.1.0.2hi6250.img, the others wont work, i will leave you the link with the latest SuperSU 2.82...
SuperSU:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298961130
P.S. There is no twrp-3.1.0.2hi6250.img anymore, the thread has been closed, try 3.1.0.0 hi6250, it may work.
P.P.S. Do not flash the TWRP 3.1.0.0 from official site, you will get the bootloop with the message of "Your device is booting now"...
P.P.P.S Sorry for my bull****, there is a working twrp-3.1.0.2hi6250.img, i just found it, i downloaded the same image which i sent you here:

To many folks have encountered an issue that soft-bricked their device afterwards.
You will still receive OTA with an unlocked bootloader.

you can relock it (safer) but if you want to flash any new rom later you will loose all your data. cause everytime you flash you need to unlock the bootloader. its up to you

Hang on now, lets be clear about the advice that we're giving here.
Yes, a locked bootloader is safer if a thief were to get his hands on your device. However, locking the bootloader has a whole host of other problems linked to it. For example, if you end up in a boot loop with a locked bootloader because something breaks in the rom or kernel, if you have stock recovery, you can never unlock the bootloader again, without sending it for repair.
I would suggest people using experimental ROMs should keep their bootloader unlcoked to avoid this

If I did lock the boot loader, can it not be unlocked again using NRT ? I'm wondering since this (Android M) is an official release from Google, there should be a way to unlock the Boot loader if someone wants to roll back to lollipop ... Am I wrong in this assumption ?

It's a security feature whereby if you do not have "enable OEM unlocking" set in the rom, you cannot unlock the bootloader. If you don't have it set, have stock recovery then have a rom that will not boot, you cannot set that, ergo cannot unlock the bootloader. If you're going to mess with exxperiemental previews, I would suggest not re-locking the bootloader.

I just checked and the 'OEM unlocking' option is turned on under Dev Options.
So, can I unlock the bootloader and flash back to 5.1.1 ?

[OTA] Huawei Mate S Firmware C432B321/C900B321 [MM] [Beta] - FRP Unlock enabled!

A few days ago some users enrolled in MM beta program started receiving new B321 OTA, so I flashed it on top of my B303 MM and so far all good.
Apart from feeling really butter smooth and including WPS Office, Developer Options now again include OEM Unlock option(FRP unlock), solving the no bootloader unlock on MM issue.
Be sure to be on B303 MM stock recovery, extract the \dload folder from zip and place it on root of external SD card;
Get into Advanced Project Menu by dialing *#*#2846579159#*#*
Go to the bottom and select "HOTA Update"
Wait for reboot, EMUI will verify, install and optimize -took about 15 minutes, so be patient.
What I noticed is that on B321 Advanced Project Menu is gone, only standard(*#*#2846579#*#*) is available.
B321 OTA Update: https://mega.nz/#!t5EhnBQK!ewPCJtBvSd3kWOc2DBmL83poB8Lo1oXzHSguE2TIWbo
B303 stock recovery: https://mega.nz/#!Q0dhEZ7Q!stOQ_0oHPfXnMVfBZqBDkq1fEyxUJ8Jrt5z2mUcdYMo
hi, in dload folder, we have two files. which one should we use?
put the hole zip into dload and start the hota-update
Hi.
So i updated to this firmware and got the unlock OEM option, and i unlocked it, got into fastboot mode (well the FRP lock screen that showed b4 when i didn't have the oem unlock option). I did the fastboot unlock process with the oem unlock key i got from Huawei website and it said it unlocked sucessfully, but i have no changes, everytime i try to go into bootloader it says that it is FRP locked :/
Any ideas?

Isn't FRP unlock different to bootloader Unlock?
Well basicly i get the same screen as if my phone was still FRP locked :s even tho i enabled oem unlock in dev settings..

You must activate the "Unlock OEM" option, reboot into fastboot and make sure you have "FRP: Unlocked" in red text. Once you confirm this use the bootloader unlock key provided by Huawei.
Well for me it says FRP locked :/ even tho i enabled oem unblock.

Battery consumption seems a little higher on B321...will need to keep an eye on it over the next few days

If in fastboot screen(picture, maybe?) you have BL unlocked/FRP locked I understand you have previously unlocked BL while on Lollipop and then somehow FRP re-locked again, maybe wrong TWRP restore...
No thats the thing i didnt have BL unlocked when in lollipop
I have managed to update to b321 from b303 version with little / no issue. Everything seems OK apart from a small annoyance - the haptic feedback for navigation buttons has stopped working. I've checked all settings and all seems OK. This was working fine on b303 so maybe it's a bug? Anyone else experiencing this?

I'm not sure if it's a bug but I prefer it without the vibration....I was of the understanding that the bug was that it couldn't be turned off in lollipop so I think if anything it's fix.
Battery drain is my biggest concern... On mobile data it's appalling...can't wait to go back to lollipop

I've checked this on my honor 7 and seems to work ok (e.g. haptic feedback for navigation buttons works) so I'm pretty sure it's not correct on mate s. I'll try factor reset and see if that cures the problem. - unless anyone else has any better ideas
So I am still on 303. will it be possible to flash the 321, then unlock the bootloader, flash custom recovery and thereafter restore an update of someone that provided a clean lollipop build via twrp?
As long as there isn't official 6.0 I would really like to get back to 5.1.1 xD
But my guess is we I still have to wait for a rollback firmware...

[Solved] Any way to unlock FRP after OTA update? (P10 Lite)

Hello!
I recently rooted my new P10 Lite before version B124 was released, but then I decided to update my phone from B102 to B124 by flashing the recovery image from the Update file and then updating via OTA with the full update files.. The phone updated successfully but yesterday I used adb to boot into the bootloader in order to flash TWRP but noticed that FRP is now locked and i cannot flash TWRP without getting command not allowed error.
I also tried unlocking the bootloader (just in case it was locked for some reason) using the password i got from huawei but even that gives me an error. The enable OEM option in developer settings is greyed out since after the update and is till greyed out even after clearing cache and factory resetting the device. Now is there a way for me to unlock FRP again in order to flash TWRP? Or maybe another way to flash TWRP. Hopefully someone knows a way.
Use DC Unlocker.
I used it to unlock my bootloader on P9. Works perfectly.
They do FRP unlock and supports P10 Lite.
Costs 15 credits so 15 Euro.

Thanks bro. Wish i saw it before spending 15 credits in DC unlocker. Even after removing frp i am still not able to tick enable OEM unlock in developer settimgs or flash twrp in fastboot. Only thing on my mind right now is to lock bootloader and see if enable oem unlock option will be available after that.

Relock bootloader VOG-L29

Hello
I purchased the device of the title already unlocked and would like to return it to stock rom and lock the bootloader but I don't have the unlock code. I followed a guide found here using an otg cable and a pendrive to return to stock in hopes that it would also lock my bootloader but it did not. The procedure completed successfully twice, 1st going from .178 to .185 and second attempt from .185 back to .178. Every time the phone was factory reset but the bootloader remained unlocked. Any ideas on how to relock the bootloader on this thing without having the unlock code?

That's very strange, service firmware always lock bootloader but in your case it can't. Anyway I have two suggestions for you first go to developer option and uncheck OEM Unlock option then try dload.
Second is try this method Thread Link Click here. Third and last use erecovery for stock firmware restore.
Hope this will help you.

Hi. I'm in the same situation. I have a Huawei P30 Pro that came with an unlocked bootloader. The yellow message at startup is really disturbing. I would like to relork the bootloader but in vain. The fastboot oem relock command does not work. I flashed the firmware in ota and also by erecovery but nothing works. Recently I noticed on the back of the phone the inscription NOT FOR SALE. I don't know if it has anything to do with it or not.

Hi guys,
Sorry for this stupid question but how do you check your bootloader status on this device?
fastboot oem relock command need oem bootloader code.
you can try with full ota upgrade via OTG via Dload metod. long press the volume up key + volume down key + power button.
Choose the right firmware ,same country of your PHone (example europe C432).
But you are very lucky to have an P30 pro unlocked...don't relock.....

Unlocking bootloader: definitive bye-bye to automatic updates?

With the Moto Z, after I returned the phone to stock (flashed stock firmware and locked the bootloader), I'd be able to flash stock firmware with the flashing locked.
Not so with the Motorola One Zoom. In other words, flashing stock and re-locking didn't return the phone to its pristine state. Even when flashing stock firmware over stock firmware, I have to unlock the bootloader.
Differences I observed: on the bootloader screen, when re-locked the Z would show "oem_locked" again. On the One Zoom, it shows "flashing_locked" instead. I'm pretty sure it showed "oem_locked" before unlocking.
WIth the Z, every time I wanted to unlock the bootloader, I had to issue "fastboot oem unlock" followed by the unlock code. The code isn't necessary with the re-locked One Zoom.
In other words, maybe it was a one-way trip. It seems that the phone won't return to its original state, it looks it's modified for good. And I'm afraid this means bye-bye to automatic updates.
Am I missing something here?

Hey all,
I have the Moto One Zoom running on Android 9.
Also, It's Rooted with Magisk and have Riru EdXposed installed, can I install my OTA updates without bootloop or do I have to Uninstall Magisk, relock bootloader and factory reset/flash stock firmware to get latest OTA updates?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks
