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.

Check out my post here on how to get around the oem unlock problem, and get back to marshmallow.

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.
Hey all,
Was wondering if anyone has had success in unlocking their bootloader on a tmobile device. I had the sim permanently unlocked, yet my oem unlock toggle is greyed out.
Thanks
Edit: Factory resetting the phone and connecting to wifi allowed me to toggle oem unlock

Tmobile sim unlocked my device, but the oem toggle was greyed out. I had to reset the phone before I could toggle oem unlock. Hope that clarifies

Call them and ask them to unlock the bootloader specifically, reference the greyed out oem unlock option. Sprint (pre-mid merge) had no problem doing it for my GF's 3a.
The only annoying thing was, even though I bought it outright (didn't even have to wait for monthly rebates to finish paying it off), I still needed to wait something like two months after it was activated.
