Safe Way To Unlock Bootloader?

Is there already a safe way to unlock the bootloader. I may get my N6 today or tomorrow and would like to do it before I put too much on it.

Exact same way you unlock any Nexus device, fastboot oem unlock

Right. There is the new setting in Android 5.0, where you have to enable the OEM unlock setting in developer options. Then fastboot oem unlock is your friend.

don't forget to go into Developer options and enable OEM unlock in there first.

Thanks. That's why I asked to make sure something didn't change. You're all great!

[Q] Rooting Moto X

Ok so sorry if this has already been posted but I can't find anything. This is my first attempt at rooting. I am trying to root my 2014 Moto x. I am on US cellular so I believe the model is XT1093. Not sure though as this seems to be missing from settings in lollipop. I tried a root tutorial for xt1097 but did not work. There is no OEM unlock setting in my Developer options. I think I have to unlock my bootloader through Motorola but havn't been successful.. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've got the same problem here I think it's a US Cellular problem with what they eliminated from lollipop but I can't be sure looking everywhere but can't find any answers. I wish we could get some help with this though would love to unlock and root this thing.

Yea, I think your right about it being a US Cellular thing. No one else seems to have the problem and US Cellular is a unique model number (XT1093 vs 1095 or 1097). Iv tried to unlock the bootlader through motos web cite which should work but I'm having some difficulties. I entered the info from my device, it said it was able to be unlocked and gave me the unlock key. but when I entered the key I got an error. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or they are.. Still working on it..

What command are you using to unlock your bootloader with the key? And what error are you getting?

I've tried the unlock method from Motorola. It all works until it prompts you to check the box in developing. options that says unlock oem functions. On the 1093 in lollipop the dev. option is not there. Also tried the tool kit in this forum that is made for non pure phones... It works great... even tells you your phone is unlocked but it doesn't finish. What I mean is it doesn't reboot your phone and the phone is still locked. Really frustrating ? Any help or ideas are very welcome. PLEASE HELP!

Is there a way to root the phone without unlocking? Cause if we could... We could try a different rom and see if from there we could find the unlock box in the developer options.

There's no such thing as "Unlock/ Unlock OEM functions" in developer options, in any ROM, ever.
Just found this.. Apparently Nexus 6 & 9 have this additional step to unlock the bootloader. I didn't have to do this while unlocking my device whilst on lollipop. So I'm gonna assume it's possible to unlock the bootloader on your device if this option is missing from the Developer Options..
Follow the procedure on motorola's website to unlock the bootloader and report back with the error you see on the online tool, or the actual device.
P.S - voids your warranty, unless you have a dev device

It doesn't give an error per say... It tells you to go to dev options and check the box or click on the option to unlock oem. Of course it's not there so the program will not execute the unlock. It says waiting for device....

Remote unlock is not allowed Asus Zenfone go z00vd

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.

Need people with unlocked bootloader for future development

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.
Thank you.

@asser19 why is it not possible to open it now? if you want to modify your system, buy a phone that is less secure, huawei/honor is now a safer mobile phone that can not be opened and can not be rooted, this is not a problem

Whether or not you want to modify should be your choice because you've bought the device so it's yours.

yes, legitimate, but modification can cause damage to motherboard, which would be replaced by a warranty, thus causing damage to the manufacturer, not due to improper use, therefore, to prevent this, the manufacturer may block system modification

How To find Vivo Bootloader Unlock/Lock Command Line?

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

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.

You can't unlock it, you have to use Samsung's download mode to flash a custom recovery directly.
