Hello.
Normally after relocking the bootloader on these phones it will say relocked. While debranding my phone I had the phone bootloader unlocked and rooted, with the untrusted boot up message. Half way through the debranded procedure I had massive issues with encryption and it not letting me past which took an age to sort out.
Once I passed that I managed to finish debranding the phone, but after flashing the the new firmware to the phone I stopped seeing the unlocked bootloader message, when I hadnt relocked the bootloader. When I checked, the bootloader was locked and frp was unlocked.
Everything is working fine with the phone, receiving updates, all themes working, everything working great.
I just don't fully understand how it's relocked itself, but Instead of it showing relocked it shows the original locked, but frp is now unlocked while the phone is locked, both originally said locked.
Anyone have any ideas. ????
Same for me
Look at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9-plus/how-to/guide-how-to-lock-unlocked-relocked-t3465486
Did you find out why frp doesn't go back to locked Instead of staying unlocked. I only ask because my NatWest app says i'm rooted or security settings have changed and won't let me log in via fingerprint. I wonder if it's because of this. ????
Edit. If you remove USB debugging and OEM unlock it relocks the frp lock.
Good thank you for sharing it
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

I tried it again and it worked, thanks. I guess I rebooted android at first. Thank you.
My redmi 4x (santoni) have twrp installed and I it is running on miui pro rom. But it's bootloader locking automatically after enabling usb debugging and switching off the phone. I can't boot into recovery and system, can only boot into fastboot mode, and I have to use mi flash tool to unlock bootloader again.
If someone face this problem, is there any solution of this. Please reply.
Thank you.
Bootloader can only be locked on all available official MIUI ROM, it can not be locked on modified MIUI versions.
There is no way that it'll get locked by itself by turning on USB Debugging and switching off phone. to lock unlocked bootloader one has to clean flash from Mi flash tools and needs to select lock bootloader before flashing.
I don't know how are you able to unlock bootloader on Mi flash tools because to unlock it official way one will need Mi unlock tool with permission from xiaomi(depending on region)
First make sure you are not on fake MIUI if so then flash official one through mi flash tools and then unlock it by mi unlock tools.
Once it is unlocked as i said earlier there is no way that it will get locked itself unless you choose to lock via mi flash tools.
about unlocking again
sorry for mistake, I have to use mi unlock tool again with my mi account signed in to unlock the bootloader again. And can't unlock by fastboot command "fastboot oem unlock".

I still do not get it what exact issue you have and what version of MIUI you are on.
You are saying you are on MIUI Pro and that confirms bootloader is unlocked and now you are saying

Please share exact and more details if you wish to resolve your issue and possibly some screenshot(s) of about phone and errors if any.

I have a similar issue and came across this thread, usb debugging suddenly stopped working, it was working perfectly till yesterday. So when I went to developer options, I saw that the OEM unlocking option is clickable now ( it had remained grayed out ever since I unlocked the bootloader ). The Mi Unlock status option tells me that phone is locked. Toggling usb debugging is not making it work. When I restart the phone, I definitely see the unlocked padlock icon on the boot screen. So I am not sure what is going on. also, magisk is working fine.
In the screenshot you can see that it shows the device is locked. But from the status bar you can make out that exposed is working. I'll have to get another device though to get a picture of the padlock icon though.

Toggle OEM unlock enabled doesn´t mean that the device is unlocked, it only means that the bootloader can be unlocked, there is other item just lines after to check it; Mi Unlock status, enter to it and confirm it.
Also, you can confirm the bootloader status through fastboot with fastboot oem device-info

Yea as I mentioned, the mi unlock status tells me that phone is locked.
Just check via fastboot, and it shows that phone is unlocked.
So do I just believe fastboot, or wait a month and then try to again unlock the bootloader via the mi unlock tool?

You said "In the screenshot you can see that it shows the device is locked" but unfortunately the screenshot didn´t reveal that, I wonder, what exactly it says in the Mi Unlock status apart.
In older days, users share an aboot image, this served to unlock bootloader automatically without make the official process to unlock it, it could be that you flashed the official stock images, and it got re-locked. Anyway, we don´t know what happened with the fastboot command or with the Mi Unlock status section, so no respond to those points.
For the part you say to wait a certain time, definitely, no, the bootloader process is not monitored any more, for older devices, they can be unlocked instantly.

My phone is about a month old, so it does tell me to wait. Contradictory screenshots attached below. After the boot unlock, I did flash flash a magisk edited boot.img and vbmeta.img to disable it. If I remember correctly though it was fine after that.
Hello, yesterday as i was browsing Developer tools in the settings, i came upon a new options they seem to stealthily added sometime ago, OEM Unlock. Just a switch and Bootloader got unlocked. A bit too late since nobody developed any roms for this device.
That isn't how bootloader unlocking works. That setting only allows you to enter the unlock code while in fastboot mode. In the end, you still need a bootloader unlock code to unlock it. I am certain the switch has been present there for a while now.
Hello,
I recently got a new S21 Ultra and I was trying to unlock the bootloader & flash stuff.
I haven't rooted phones for a few years, so I am unsure how much has changed. As far as I know, EU Exynos models have unlockable bootloaders, don't they? My S8 did back then.
As I noticed the OEM Unlock option Is missing from the dev. settings. Fastboot can't seem to detect the device either. If I go to DL mode, I see a line OEM Lock: on(L).
My build number is: G998BXXS6EWBB
One UI: 5.1
Is my BL completely locked or is there any hope that it can be unlocked?
