[Closed] OEM Unlock Option in Developer Options Missing

Hi all,
I am trying to root my T810 according to the tutorial (the one from Android Biits).
It says I have to activate the "OEM Unlock" Option. I have managed to activate the Developer Options but "OEM Unlock" is simply not there.
Can anybody give me a hint, please?
BTW: Sorry for posting here but I was not allowed to post in Development.
Cheers,
hobo

There is no OEM unlock option, when you turn on Developer Options you may unlock it without changing any settings

Thanks for your answer. Still confuses me that in each tutorial I have found this as requirement.

[Android N Preview 2] Can no longer enable 'Allow OEM Unlocking" in dev settings

Hey XDA,
So today I got my N Preview 2 OTA update and everything is fine and great. However I went into dev settings today to make sure I had debugging and OEM unlocking on but, if seems the Allow OEM unlock button is grayed out. Is anyone else seeing this? It may even be stuck on the Allow setting but, I really can't tell and it's a bit concerning. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

I have to ask the obvious question. Is your device already unlocked?

Nope, status code 2 'locked' according to my bootloader.

He's right, I'm unlocked already and on np2 and I don't see OEM unlock in dev options either. They must be moving it to another location or something
Edit: I do see it now but you can't toggle the switch anymore

looks like after the fiasco of the 1st preview that bricked phones during OTA & most of them have the bootloaders locked & OEM unlock in off position, this preview has put the oem unlock in default on position.

so if I am already unlocked and I flash the 2nd preview- am I OK? will the bootloader stay unlocked?

i believe so

That makes sense...the op screen shot shows the button slider to the right (on position), even though grayed out.

Yea, you're good. As long as you don't run the "fastboot oem lock" command through fastboot, your bootloader should always remain unlocked. Even if the "OEM Unlocking" toggle is switched off, an unlocked bootloader should remain unlocked.

I'm on NPC91K with a Nexus 6 and the "Allow OEM Unlock" option is grayed out and disabled for me. My phone is currently locked and Fastboot oem unlock does not work.

Thanks for checking that out. Officially concerned now

I tried out NPC91K yesterday and the "Allow OEM Unlock" option was also grayed out , but the button was in the enabled position. After a while i out back backup and bootloader is still unlocked. In Bootloader it says Device is Unlocked Status code 3.

I am in the same situation, my phone is locked and N preview 2 now oem unlock is greyed out and disabled, anybody can suggest a way to enable this, TIA.

OEM Unlocking placebo option?

So the OEM unlocking under developer options under the launch baseband did it do anything or was it just there for show? Because after I updated to G950USQU1AQGA the option is gone.

What firmware were you running when you had this option?

G950usqu1aqd9

OEM unlock grayed out

I was wondering if my device only has OEM unlock option grayed in developer mode
I have MENA version of the device.

Cannot bypass oem unlock to root or unlock bootloader

With that I am on Xfinity they locked OEM carrier locked, phone financed so my goal is to run the developer build of Google 12 but under the instructions on Google Developer site list OEM must be checked before unlocking bootloader?

Not all phones can be bootloader unlocked. In settings, about phone, go to "build number". Tap it rapidly 8-9 times untill you see that developer settings are unlocked. Go to system developer options. Tick "usb debugging". Next near the top look for "oem unlocking". Try to tick that option. If you can't, then your bootloader cannot be unlocked.
Unlocking the bootloader will wipe your phone. If you are unfamiliar with all this, I recommend that you stay on 11.
