HI there, so I have a Galaxy S6 G920AZ, and recently I checked if there was any progress in rooting this device, I found in the Chainfire(https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/) site that It can be rooted but must be done with the build: G920AZTUU6DQF3, so I flashed that build, and so far so good, the problem is that when I try to flash the cf-auto-root with odin it says fail, and doesn't root it obviously. I have USB Debug enabled, but there is no "ALLOW OEM UNLOCK" under developer settings.
Can someone tell me if I missunderstood something, or maybe the g20az isn't rootable at all?
Thank you in advance

i have the same problem, do you found a solution?
I didn't found a solution. I saw that some people had same problem with a motorola, and they did a factory reset, cleared cache and then OEM unlock apeared, but I tried that with no luck , I hope it works for u
I have USB Debug enabled, but there is no "ALLOW OEM UNLOCK" under developer settings.hellp
The option for OEM unlock is missing in my phone's Developer option.
Tried the changing time fix, not working. tried factory resetting the phone, still not working.
Called Samsung, they say all new phone Galaxy device don't have OEM unlock. (wtf??)
Running the latest update with android 8, USB debug can be seen and toggled.
Want to install custom ROM and root it, please help!

Custom for SM-G6100
Hello,
My device is SM-G6100(Android version 6.0.1),I got a problem with my device my is running on SM-G610F firmware.Is it possible,in setting my device shows SM-G610F but in download mode it shows product name SM-G6100.So I used cpu-z and observed processor and others then I got to know my device is SM-G6100.
I want a custom firmware or a firmware like (indian or any other) Samsung one with latest version (8.0 or 8.0.1) as I cannot get a Indian firmware for SM-G6100 it has only Chinese and Hong Kong firmware and I want Google to run on my device so I cannot choose Chinese one.
Is it possible to install SM-G610F firmware in SM-G6100 like mine(v6.0.1)?
If yes,it would be possible to install Oreo version firmware also.But I cannot get any of them.
Is there custom ROMs for it plz share them too
Thanks in advance.
So I installed a custom rom in my new k20 pro lately, and accidentally locked the device after installed the custom rom inside. Now, my device is refusing to open the new rom and stuck in redmi recovery mode. It said that "this MIUI version cant be installed on this device". I tried to unlock the phone again, but xiaomi said that it takes at least 30 days to unlock a new device. Im kinda sad and confused about this, please help.
How did you lock the bootloader with custom ROM installed?

Did you try to flash custom rom using miflash?
Hi! I have the same issue on my Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro (It was Chinese) but it came unlocked with xiaomi.eu rom.
After i installed a global rom, and google wallet nfc pay did not work, so i thought okay i will lock it then so maybe wallet would accept it, (with the eu rom it worked before) so i put the device in fastboot and used fastboot oem lock on cmd...
And from then it stucks on miui recovery 5.0 screen, and says, this miui version can't be installed on this device...
I might not enabled oem unlocking before i shut if off, but i added it to my mi account so i dont know if after a week i can maybe unlock it. But i think the other possible solution would be to sideload the original chinese stock rom, which is for M2102K1AC, Mi 11 pro, codename mars, but i couldn't find it anywhere... If someone can upload a link to it, that would be a huge help! Or any idea! thx!

HI! i got a mi 11 pro 1 year ago, and it was offically chinese, but it came unlocked with Xiaomi.eu firmware, but i could't update it via the updater app, so i searched and found the global star version and just flashed it, everything worked, only now google pay nfc didnt work, it said that its probably because of the unlocked bootloader, so i got to fastboot and in cmd i sent fastboot oem lock, and since then my phone is stuck in miui recovery 5.0 screen and says that i cannot run this firmware on the device, i tried to unlock it but failed, maybe after a week, but i think that i didnt turn on oem unlocking on the phone itself before this... So im just hoping that after a week unlocking could be done... Or my other idea is, that i could install the original chinese rom with sideload, because i managed to install another global version on it since, but the result is still the same, the only problem is that i cannot find literally anywhere a mars codenamed firmware...

Anyone who might have the same situation, i found a simple, but effective solution, not sure if it works on every xiaomi device, but i will write down the steps here:
You need to use XiaomiADB, here is the download link and the description for how to use it -> https://xiaomiui.net/how-to-use-xiaomiadb-8044/ (if the page is not available, then feel free to msg me!)
For xiaomi adb, you need to go to 3rd option on the miui recovery screen, NOT THE FASTBOOT
So basically i went through the steps to “xiaomiadb sideload_miui <filename>”
And I tried to install a rom, BUT IT DIDNT ACCEPT IT!
The message was:
ERROR: This rom cannot be installed, server code -> 2001, server message -> Can't install unofficial rom
after trying 4 times all the same and: Installation of this rom via stock recovery is not allowed by Xiaomi
Says Installation failed, and then i just decided to download another rom so i PLUGGED OUT THE PHONE right after this, and went to another room to connect to wired network, to download and try a different rom... when i came back, to all my surprise, the phone was turned on, so i went to the setting dev ops and enabled bootloader unlocking, linked it to my account enabled adb and everything that is needed to flash another rom later, so then i rebooted and again, miui recovery 5.0 screen, but now i enabled unlocking, so i put the phone in fastboot, and tried MI UNLOCKER TOOL again, now it says: Please unlock 168 hours later. And do not add your account in MIUI again, otherwise you will wait from scratch.
So that means, after 7 days i wll be able to unlock it, until then, i can turn it on with the above method, in short try to sideload (copy and install) a rom to it, and then after it failed, plug it out and just wait like 10-20 maybe 30 seconds and bam your device is normally booted... I hope it helps to some of you, (i have been searching for the solution for almost a week, my other option was to pay someone who can MAYBE do it or send the phone back to china and pay the repairs, so im really happy with this method! If it helps to you, please reply so i and the others will know that it worked! Have a nice day!
Hello Developers!
I have found an easy way to unlock the bootloader of our Huawei Nova 2 Plus. No need to use Testpoint or pay for software to unlock. it is an Python Script which would brute force the code through the IMEI number you have entered
IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE THE PHONE IS CONNECTED TO ADB OR THIS TOOL WILL NOT WORK AS IT WILL RESTART INTO FASTBOOT AND TRY ALL THE CODES IT GENERATED!!!!!!!.
THIS TOOL WORKS FOR Linux and Windows. the guide is for windows but the script would work for linux completely fine.
REQUIREMENTS
Download The Tool from the thread
Install Python From Microsoft Store Or The Python Website
Run Powershell as Admin
Run the Command:- python unlock.py
Enter Your IMEI Number
MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS CONNECTED TO ADB!!!!!
Wait for the code to be found
If your phone reboot into EMUI reboot back into bootloader mode and the tool will start the bootloader unlocking process
The Phone May Reboot Several Times.
If you get an warning about unlocking the bootloader you have succeeded to unlock the bootloader
Special Thanks To KASHIFALIKHAN For the tool . the download will be down below
Hello does unlocking bootloader resets my data? As in will it factory reset?
Yes it would reset your data. It happens on all phones for security reason
deleted
Hello..could you please explain more about the process and what should we do about attached file?
you have to extract the ZIP and run the unlock script and enter your imei number make sure you have python installed on your PC

Hello,
I have a chinese Honor 9x (bought from alieExpress). I currently have the HarmonyOS installed that doesn't allow me to run any google-apps, so I'm trying to unlock the bootloader. Out of desperation I tried to use this program to try bruteforce the unlock code. However as I start running it (USB debug enabled and all in options), after the first reboot it arrives in fastboot mode (as I believe should be expected), but then it gives the error that no devices have been found, and therefore remains hanging at 10% / first code tried.
I have a feeling that somehow after the reboot the usb debugging/OEM mode is not on anymore and therefore the python program doesn't identify the phone. I feel this has to do with the setting "enable OEM mode" not being available in any of the settings in my phone (probably a little chinese easter egg to make all this more difficult?). I don't really know how to tackle this issue tho, any advice is appreciated.

Have you installed Hisuite drivers? And check device manager when you boot into fastboot if it shows Android bootloader interface then you're good to go if not then try installing Hisuite drivers

Since you could enter the bootloader when you first trying, I'm guess it might be the Harmony OS. You can try use Hisuite to roll back your HarmonyOS to EMUI, then try to unlock the bootloader. Most of modified Android OS removed the OEM mode to make you have a hard time on unlock bootloader. These will be really easy if you use some phones like Google's Pixel.
I have an old Huawei Nova 3i and it's updated into the Harmony OS, which is not what I want, I'd like to have a more cleaner OS that not with so much preinstalled apps. Then I roll back to EMUI as the first step to install other ROM, and that script it's working now. It's still trying get the password so I can't say it worked or some thing else.
And alter is that, if you just want install some google-apps, you may just roll back to EMUI, it should worked fine. And I'm not really suggest you have any phone from Huawei now since they really push their Harmony OS as a thing (at least, in China) and not really friendly towards people not in China (since lots of popular apps' depended G-apps). I'm annoyed even I'm Chinese though.
I need help too. So, I own a Moto G5s plus sanders. I unlocked its bootloader the day I got it. Didn't keep any backup and rooted it. I Also installed dot os based on android 11. But my 4G Volte connection was finicky. So, I decided to use a Volte zip patch. But, anyways I flashed the zip via TWRP and tried to reboot. But the phone didn't turn on after that. After a few minutes to my shock I understood that I hardbricked my mobile. No button combos, nothing worked. Anyways in my desperation I found a YouTube video showing the use of blankflash to revive a phone and lo and behold I used the procedure to again restore my device. It booted to the fastboot interface. But my happiness was short lived. My baseband was unknown at this point and the bootloader was I dunno downgraded to 0.5 inplace of 2.12. But, more importantly the unlock status was lost. I unlocked it again and all went well. I could even flashed TWRP. but then I realised I couldn't upgrade my bootloader. I couldn’t do anything. It's always gives a "security downgrade", "preflash validation failed" and "permission denied" error. I even tried RSA official rescue tool from Lenovo but even it was unsuccessful. It was never unsuccessful before that. Not even with a unlocked bootloader. I researched for days and tried custom ROMs. I flashed stock images. Nothing brought back my baseband and IMEI. When I type "fastboot oem unlock critical" it gives me permission denied error with a message. "Need OEM signed bootloader." I think the blankflash bootloader is the root of all evil. I need to change it and therefore I need to enter the edl mode. I have tried all adb commands and fastboot commands. The phone reboots okay after those commands but never goes into edl mode whatsoever. I am also ready to do a controlled hardbrick of my device to go into the edl mode so that I can use my device again with a proper bootloader and a properly working fastboot. Please help
i think this vid will help
Greetings everyone. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum. Please move this in appropriate forum if I made a mistake. Believe me, for the last 7 days I have searched all of xda and internet, followed innumerable guides, FAQs and workarounds and none worked. So, as a last resort I am starting this thread
Device: Motorola Moto G5s Plus XT1804 ......4GB _64GB variant
Problem: 1) Baseband not found (unknown) Original Baseband: M8953_52.61.07.98R SANDERS_INDIADSDS_CUST
2) IMEI 0 (Sim cards are not detected).
I bought this refurbished phone about an week ago after my last LG went kaput. I was happy by the build quality of the phone. But it only ran Android 8.1 Oreo. So, I decided to put a custom ROM in it. I am not exactly a newbie to the world of CyanogenMods, Lineage OSes and Pixel Experiences. Or, so I thought. Anyways, after a lot of searching I finally decided on Dot OS 5.2 Official Android 11 version. The ROM looked very pleasing and the reviews looked positive. So, I got the unlock key from Motorola website, unlocked the bootloader, put in official TWRP recovery in it. Everything went like a breeze and in all that excitement I forgot to take a backup of the persist, efs and other partitions. A very costly mistake it seems. DotOS booted fine and looked really fresh till I found that there is a small cross near the SIM card network signal triangle up righthand side corner and the signal is only LTE and not VOLTE. I was using a Vodafone Sim card at the time. Although VOLTE option was enabled in SIM settings. To confirm my doubts regarding VOLTE I switched to a JIO Simcard and alas I was not able to make a call without redirecting through the horrid JIO calling app. VOLTE was indeed not working. So, I looked up for a fix and I found a Volte ZIP file from here https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...0QFnoECBAQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0YgJvCjQWXXV8WQSJkxBOK . This was the starting of my troubles. I flashed the universal VOLTE fix zip from TWRP and it flashed fine. On rebooting, I found to my shock that my phone was not turning on. I pressed and held the power key and there was no sign of life. I couldn’t go to the fastboot bootloader or recovery. Only the white led blinked at the top when connected to the charger. My phone was apparently hard bricked. I searched frantically for a solution in this forum and YouTube wherein I found that one can bring it back to life by doing a blankflash. Found the blankflash file here https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...wQFnoECAsQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1eVdBWGVFr8aiqLdP-ZkeT followed the instructions and it flashed my bricked device back to fastboot. I was relieved for a moment but the next I found that the Bootloader version has downgraded from BL C2 07 to BL C0 05. I knew something was wrong as bootloader downgrade shouldn't be possible. Also the unlock and rooted status were also lost and the baseband was unknown at this point. Anyways the device was recognised as a fastboot device and I tried to flash the stock ROM latest version using the fastboot. But, only then I realised there was something wrong with the bootloader. It gave errors like security downgrade, permission denied, preflash validation failed, remote command failed. At this point I was truly confused and worried. Why would it think the latest bootloader to be a security downgrade to a supposedly old bootloader and prevent me from flashing it. However it did flash the other files like gpt.bin for partition, oem.img, boot.img, system.img sparsechunks and everything else. I booted back to Android 8.1 Oreo and everything seemed working except my IMEI now read zero and my Simcard was not recognised by the device. After that I again unlocked my bootloader. Somehow the original unlock key worked and the bootloader screen said flashing unlocked but the bootloader didn't behave like an unlocked bootloader. The TWRP installed fine but couldn’t install the latest Pixel Experience. The flash screen said PE 11 was for Sanders and my device is (blank no name). I tried both the normal and plus and both behaved similarly. Lineage OS unofficial builds behaved similarly. I again tried Dot OS and Arrow OS and both installed fine except there was no signal. For a moment I tried to forget about the bootloader but concentrated on recovering my IMEI and Baseband but I couldn’t. For nearly 5 days I tried different guides including a detailed guide using Validus Sanders ROM but none worked. My EFS folder has files around 12 megabytes but my Persist seems deleted at zero bytes. The IMEI keeps changing between null, zero and unknown depending on the 20 something ROMs I tasted on this device. At this point, I am at a loss. This was to be my main phone and I am financially crunched. I can't buy another phone right now. I think that blankflash bootloader is corrupted and it is giving me permission denied errors. Even Magisk won't work properly. I even tried using the official rescue and smart assistant tool by Lenovo and it failed at 47 percent. I tried in different computers and Win7 to Win 11 OSes but it was of no use. I also tried getting a QCN file but I couldn’t get one for the device to recover the IMEI. Please suggest something if anyone of you can save this poor device of mine. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick reply but my phone is soft bricked now. It was hardbricked and I uses a faulty blankflash bootloader to bring it back to life. My device is softbricked now. I have lost my baseband and I have no IMEI. I cannot take calls and no mobile data. Can you show me a way to go to edl mode in my device. Thanks again.
can your phone turn on if yes can you root it with magisk
if yes then pls tell me i will tell you
I can do everything except calling and mobile data. Yes, I have rooted with Magisk and have root access. But my baseband is unknown and my IMEI is showing zero. I can't call or access mobile data. Although I can use wifi
I have tried what is shown in this video already. Didn't work
I think the blank flash bootloader was corrupt or of a different region.
so go to magisk manager and on top-right corner you will see setting click the button right next to it and click on reboot to edl
I didn't even knew that. Trying asap. Will update
Doesn’t work. Reboots back to system.
Updated Magisk to latest and tried both edl and download mode like you said brother. Everytime boots back to system. Am I missing something. The phone was not connected to the PC at the time
I am on stock Oreo now. Rooted and twrp installed
An interesting observation while installing Xposed, it gave an error that the device is not rooted properly
I have an untouched dump file for my model. The whole thing. Could you please guide me how I can restore my smartphone from that.
can you flash it through adb sideload fastboot twrp etc
I don't know but I sold the device. I bought a new one. Thanks @Raggaov for the help.
you're welcome
