Please Master help me. I want to root my phone but first, i have to unlock bootloader from this phone (Vivo V20). I already use Command Line " fastboot flashing unlock ", " fastboot oem unlock ", " fastboot bbk unlock_vivo ", "fastboot bbk vivo_bsp unlock_vivo". Nothing Works...
Maybe someone here know how to see command line to unlock bootloader manually from system file, please help.
1. You need to Enable developer mode on your phone
2. You need to enable USB Debugging inside of developer options
3. Also, enable OEM Unlock inside developer options also ( If you dont see this option, good luck with rooting.. )
You will also need to set up ADB platform tools sdk on your computer if you are going to root
SDK Tools Setup - https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
Unlock Bootloader - https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-android-phone-4689186
Be carefull please Dont brick your device... make sure to do your research and verify that your specific phone can be rooted...

Of you don't see the option to toggle the OEM bootloader unlock inside of developer settings, I doubt you will be able to root
Don't feel bad. I can't root either

Toggle OEM already on but still cannot unlock bootloader
Vivo doesn't allow their devices' bootloader getting unlocked, so you can't unlock (most of) them.
On their support page, they stated "BL cannot be unlocked" (which is false), and "suggest you not to try it".
If you really want to unlock your bootloader, nah you can't, the only way might be selling your Vivo for something else (OnePlus, Xiaomi, etc.) that allows bootloader unlocking.
Edit 1: For some older Vivo (and Oppo), you might be able to use EDL to flash a custom recovery. OR for even older ones, you can actually unlock.
Edit 2: I believe most Vivo (including Oppo) doesn't even have the normal aboot bootloader mode.

Because they are trying to make it a consumer phone as well as a developers phone. The average user doesn't need these settings, and could very easily mess up their phone by using them. With such an easy method to re enable them, why not do it?

Sure good to know, but what does it have to do with the bootloader? I thought that to unlock bootloader, you only need to "fastboot oem unlock"?
It's unlikely that I need to change an option in the menu in order to unlock... What if I somehow screw up and can't boot, and then lock to bootloader? Stuck with a brick?

You need to get into developer settings and activate USB debugging so you can use adb to proceed to unlock the bootloader.
Also I find the way to unlock developer settings to be quite humorous! Sadly I can see many impatient users looking to access said settings the first time be be put off by this, hopefully they will see reason!
Awwwwsome

You don't need adb to unlock the bootloader! Unlocking is done in fastboot mode, so saying "This is essential to get an unlocked bootloader" is wrong.
You can get to the bootloader (fastboot mode) by pressing the buttons during boot.

This is not just directed at the OP:
I think people should wait until they get a hold of the device before posting guides and directing others on what to do. Unless you actually try something and it works, I wouldn't be posting any guides.
Just to clarify some mis-information in this thread:
1) You do not need to install the SDK (and you do not need it to install the driver) -- the SDK is just a bunch of stuff that, unless you are developing, you will never need;
2) The driver for the N4 may not even be included in the SDK -- the GNex driver certainly wasn't;
3) For the fastboot driver to install (and for fastboot commands to work), your device must be booted in fastboot mode;
4) USB Debugging is a feature of Android, and to use it, you have to be booted into Android -- it has nothing to do with the bootloader;
5) Currently, there is no exploit to gain root on any build of Android higher than 4.1.1, so, there is no way to gain root without unlocking the bootloader at this time.

Also, 2 responders above in the same page say that.
Also, it doesn't make sense to me that fastboot's operation will check an option that is selected while you are in the OS.
If someone that has the device can check it then great, until then I'll assume USB Debugging is NOT needed to unlock bootloader.
Hi
I was trying to unlock my Asus Zenfone go z00vd/zc500tg
I have successfully installed the driver for the device and
fastboot devices
Command working fine it shows the device number I think.
But when I try following command
fastboot oem unlock
It shows the error
Remote: unlock is not allowed
I have enabled the developer mode , but there is no oem unlock option,
I want to root my device.
Please suggest me something for unlocking..
Contact the oem to see if it can even be un locked first. Not all Android devices have unlockable boooaders.

It has , because I have watched the videos on YouTube that peoples are 7nlocking Zenfone go , and my brother also have Zenfone 5, he also did it with his phone.
any solution?
Help needed i have the same problem
You do not have to contact ASUS. To unlock the bootloader, you must downgrade your firmware to version 36 where the unlocking option is available. Just follow this tutorial. You are probably using v62 now.
Is there a way to wipe who configured Knox on my phone? I don't even have the option to go through an initial setup process because of this lockdown on my phone.
I have a carrier unlocked from rent a center, but when I enable developer mode, the developer menu is missing completely. Verified that it is enabled.

As we all know the development of our device isin't going great because of the Huawei decision to stop bootloader unlocking but we have a developer who is ready to work on our device And he already successfully ported the twrp for our device which is available in the development section but future development is halted because of the lack of the required files which can only be obtained from the devices with a root access which is only possible with unlocked bootloader .So anyone who has an unlocked bootloader and want to contribute in the future development of Honor play, please! ping me or drop down a comment or a reply below.
