US Cellular Note 8 has no OEM Unlock option...? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I have a US Cellular Note 8 and I cannot seem to find an OEM Unlock toggle within the developer options menu... Is there's anything I can do to rectify this so I can install twrp and obtain root?

Need help regarding bootloader unlock

Is it necessary to apply for unlock codes at huawei's website to unlock the bootloader if I can see / access / toggle "OEM UNLCOCK" in developer options? The phone ( Huawei P9 ) is my mother's and is planning on handing it down to me.

Better be quick. Huawei is shutting down the official bootloader unlock method. Go to https://emui.huawei.com/en/ and log in. For "old" models huawei gives you 60 days to get an unlock-code. After this time there's DCUnlocker to unlock.

OEM Unlock is just a prerequisite, with that you will have FRP unlocked but you still need unique code for your device to unlock Bootloader
Better be quick... See that other response
PS: You need to open that Huawei portal from PC or as Desktop site to have Bootloader unlock code options

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

Need people with unlocked bootloader for future development

As we all know the development of our device isin't going great because of the Huawei decision to stop bootloader unlocking but we have a developer who is ready to work on our device And he already successfully ported the twrp for our device which is available in the development section but future development is halted because of the lack of the required files which can only be obtained from the devices with a root access which is only possible with unlocked bootloader .So anyone who has an unlocked bootloader and want to contribute in the future development of Honor play, please! ping me or drop down a comment or a reply below.
Thank you.

@asser19 why is it not possible to open it now? if you want to modify your system, buy a phone that is less secure, huawei/honor is now a safer mobile phone that can not be opened and can not be rooted, this is not a problem

Whether or not you want to modify should be your choice because you've bought the device so it's yours.

yes, legitimate, but modification can cause damage to motherboard, which would be replaced by a warranty, thus causing damage to the manufacturer, not due to improper use, therefore, to prevent this, the manufacturer may block system modification

Unfortunately, if you have a Verizon version of the phone, you can't unlock the bootloader. Only unlocked Google versions allow it.

Oem unlocking?

I have the Verizon variant of the pixel 5 and, unfortunately, the oem unlock option in the dev options is greyed out. The phone is completely paid for and what not. Is there any way to get around this? Such as flashing stock firmware of an unlocked device?

No, sorry.
Consider selling it on Swappa and then buy the unlocked variant.
