So I'm starting to see hands on videos and unboxings etc... Have any of them ran an OEM unlock command yet?
Eh, to be honest, the kind of people doing these unboxings aren't the kind of individuals who are going to dive into rooting and unlocking bootloaders head on.

I'd be highly surprised if this didn't work.. However, big G have moved the goal posts with this release so will be interesting.

That is what everyone thinks until they change it at some point. You act like they are required by law to have it open.
While yes i think it will be, but its a valid question and to act like its such a sure thing is very close minded.

Looks like it works on both the N6 and N9 (with the above option checked in Developer Options).

Yep, bummer though that you may have to boot up and perform an abbreviated setup to get that checked before unlocking (and thus wiping) it and re-doing it.
IMO Remember, do it right away so that you have nothing to lose data wise. this is just to unlock the bootloader, it doesn't mean you have to root it or go further, but then who here does anything halfway?

Yes the fastboot oem unlock command works, but you have to enable it in the Dev Options. If you don't enable it, the command won't work right and the bootloader won't unlock.

Yeah i picked up a N9 yesterday and noticed that within about 1 minute of using the devices, and i have seen reports of the N6 being the same.
Thanks for the reply though.
Hello everyone,
First of i want to mention that it`s my first experience with Nexus device after so many years so don`t blame me
well my friend bought Nexus 6 and it was all good (about hours) then he did factory reset and bad things just started... he was unable to complete setup, he was writing e-mail and pass and it was going back to WiFi select, also he could not skip WiFi select. someone said Google block but i never heard of it (i have z2 which has custom oem os so i don`t think it`s present there). well so how to get rid of that? he also can`t unlock boot because of DEV OPTION check and so on -_-
thanks in advanced

Was this bought used? Sounds like the previous owner didn't have the device ready for sale, and they'd need to log into it in order for your friend to activate it.

Hey dear Community,
sorry but i translate my question with translate.google.com
And it's like this.
I bought the Alcatel Idol 4 me a few weeks ago.
Super price-performance ratio.
Now I have only the problem that I never in large Internet find a way to root my phone.
I tried already all I know Tools.
I also Kingoroot written an email with the request to find a solution.
I guess that this will take longer so again here the question.
anyone of you an opportunity that Alcatel Idol 4 (6055K) to root?
urgently need a root.
Dear greetings and thanks in advance
Your Jakami99
Would be keen to know too, also a idol 4 (non s) user.

It's a brand new device. I don't think many devs have it at this point.
I think this now impossible. Bootloader fully locked. Unique what we can - search hole in security system of Android 6.0.1. If we found as minimum temporary root - we can unlock bootloader. And forever... Warranty void permamently! So we have no right to mistake.

Any news about bootloader being unlocked or root for this phone us version??

Good bye my all 10000$ that I managed.
I lost my payment card formally. My money can be just fade! In one beautiful day!
"#### killer, where you?! If you want kill me - do it! My life no more cost! "
I hope this can be rooted at some point!
most likely in 2-3 months
I'll be keeping my eyes open. It really is a nice device. If there were some way to switch the placement of the boom key and power button, it would be ten times better though.

hi
As i noticed , in developer option , you can switch OEM unlocking , which allow bootloader to be unlocked.
So i don't think that is gonna be so hard to do, just patience until someone who know alot start to make some way to root Idol 4/4s
I'm pretty sure the OEM unlock has no function currently as we can't pass fastboot commands to the phone just yet.

There is. You can actually set the boom key to turn on the display, then all you need is the following app to turn the display off:

Yes, DeckerSU has created a TWRP recovery which allows SU to be flashed. Check the forums for how to root.

Hi all !
I tried muliple times to unlock my phone. I have to wait a week each time but the unlock software tells me to wait an additionnal week all the time.
Is it possible that Xiaomi refuse to unlock my phone ? I don't understand what's going on.
I searched for an alternative option it seems it doesn't exist yet.
Anyone has the same problem ?
Thanks.

If I remember now Xiaomi took 60 days to give unlock code, while before it took 15 days
It's been 3 months now. I think I would buy another device. The Xiaomi politic about unlocking is crap. I'm wasting my time.

I don't know my problem was similar to yours, but this is what happened to me.
I had to wait 1 week to unlock my bootloader. When the week was over, the unlocking tool (Mi Flash) told me I need to use the device a few more days. Instead of waiting, I downloaded an old version of the unlock tool, which made it possible to unlock the phone right away (instead of waiting a few more days).
This is the version of Mi Flash I used. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-F6_jbKa-OsbUFCZm1TUk9lMEE/view
I'm also having the same issue.

Well, then you need to complain to most smartphones companies out there.
Back in the days Nexus models was so cools for developpers. There's a difference between complex method and the fact you need online key to unlock your phone. I don't understand this politic that most of the time encourage hacking. :silly:
I waited like a week the moment after I take it out of the box. Do you did the Mi account steps properly? It sounds stupid, but I could be a problem.
You MUST follow the steps with care! Never try shortcuts or alternative methods .... Use the phone during the wait period with the Sim card inserted ... And you are good.
If you are not either you did not follow precisely the instructions or gave Xiaomi reasons to believe you are attempting to unlock too many phones too fast (unofficial reseller, the reason the wait time exist).
Bug in the process can exist of course... But sincerely it's difficult I nthos case.

Unfortunately also with this olderversion I have to wait for 167 ours
I have tried with the latest version before, don't know if that makes a difference for setting the waiting period.
First try for me, going to wait for a week and see if I can unlock then.

I think you did something wrong the first time, like removing your mi account or trying to unlock with some unofficial ways ... And that triggered the loop. I mean, without realizing you did it.
At this point, if I was you, I would stop trying anything, use the phone with MIUI, after a factory reset and putting back again the mi account, for a couple of weeks, without trying anything.
After that, try the unlock procedure again, wait the week once more, and the you should be fine

You'll have to wait for 167 hours anyway. However, if Mi Flash asks you to use the device a couple more days (generally 72 hours) after the waiting period is over (in your case 168hrs), then you should use the old Mi Flash version, as it bypasses that additional waiting time.
Actually everythings was fine. After weeks of pain I finnaly managed to unlock my device. After 4 attempts... I don't know why Xiaomi does this but it's such a waste of time.
Thanks all for your answers.

Hi,
Hope you're all having a nice day.
I have tried everything that every google search has come up with and I cannot seem to reinstall the original rom.
When I try to use miflash it says partition not found, which is an error I am seeing a lot.
The device does show up on cmd fastboot devices, so hopefully there must be a way to get around this but I have no idea.
I'd appreciate it so much if anyone could offer any help, I'm completely lost.
I'm currently stuck on the bootloader on the first image.
Thanks

Did some googling, and figured that @Laptapper and @jnsson were right. There might be a chance you got swindled. I did some googling and found a few other phones that matched that design in the photo (at least from what is visible). The following is a list of devices with a VERY similar design:
-Honor X40 5G
-Vivo X70 Pro Plus
-Google Pixel 6 Pro
Can't say for certain if these are that phone, but it's worth looking into them just to be sure.
Where did you buy it from?
Thanks so much guys for offering to help!!
I bought it second hand a few years back online in Japan.

Also, I checked my list again, and the only one that it could be of the three is the google pixel 6 or 6 pro. The others were made this year and thus don't fit the criteria, but it was only last year the phone was released so there's a chance it's none of these.

I've figured out what phone it was, but you were right, I broke it more. Now the phone will not turn on and is recognised in device manager as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM30). It also comes up on miflash as COM30.
There's a big gaping hole in my foot right now and my apartment smells like gunpowder...
