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.

Hi there,
I bought me a new Huawei P9 a few month ago and installed the android 7 update first. I also unlocked bootloader (fastboot oem unlock <key>) and in the fastboot menu phone and FRP is unlocked. Every attemp to install a recovery like twrp e.g. failed. I get the black/orange boot-message that I cant trust my device because its unlocked. Navigating to Developer options and took a look onto the OEM Unlock entry: Its disabled and grayed out. Any ideas what to do? My main target is just to root that device...
Please help me
Best Regards,

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

Hello All:
New here, apologies for possible duplicate posting. I am wondering if anyone has been able to unlock the bootloader on a Verizon LG V40 running android 10. It should be easy: turn on USB Debugging/OEM Unlock and run your adb/fast boot tools. ...However I have noticed OEM unlock has been removed from the developer tools menu. Has anyone found a way to unlock the menu w/o the OEM unlock option present?
