I'm just wondering if someone who knows their bootloader is locked (presumably all of you in this part of the forum) could post a clear picture or just the full text from their download mode. I am just interested to see if there are any differences between it and mine, and specifically if any of those potential differences are the signs of a locked bootloader. In all of the searching I have done, I have not been able to find a way of determining the bootloader status.
Thanks in advance.
Mine in download mode says secure boot enabled which I think means locked bootloader, while unlocked would say secure boot disabled.
Thanks for the reply. I thought that was the case until I came across a video on YouTube where the guy goes into download mode to root his Note 4, and it shows the same thing, secureboot enabled, but he is able to root it without any problems. But i figure there must be something that tells you the bootloader status. So any chance you could post your whole download mode text?
Well I found this thread where someone has already posted their download mode screen, and it's exactly the same as mine apart from the model number. So no clues there.
Any other suggestions/things you've noticed on your phones that may suggest the bootloader is locked?
I've been searching too. Have seen plenty of sites explaining root process with download screens displaying secure boot enabled. So bootloader status must be somewhere else. A secret keypad code that doesn't require root already might help. Otherwise it might be a matter if getting an answer from Telstra themselves.

I did think of dial codes, but I couldn't find many that worked on this phone, and those that did didn't show any information related to the bootloader.
I contacted Telstra this afternoon, but they said that I had to ask Samsung. So I sent an email to Samsung, and I'll let you know if/when I get a reply.
Secureboot Enabled indicated the locked boot loader. You do not need to unlock the bootloader to root. The Note 3 has root with a locked bl.

Have you got a weblink that confirms 'secureboot enabled' = locked bootloader please?
You're the first poster I have seen that says the root process doesn't require an unlocked bootloader. What are you basing that on please?

S4 also had a locked bootloader with root.

What about the S5?

Personal experience, on both counts. Secureboot Enabled has meant a locked bootloader for years across several devices. I have also rooted an S4 Active, S5, S5 Active and Note 3 all with locked bootloaders.
I don't have links, and I'm not going to do your research for you. The information is there if you search for it.

Please stop posting misleading information. The Note 4 is not an S4 Active, S5, S5 Active or a Note 3. We have done our research, and it contradicts what you are saying. You don't have to go very far - everyone on the forum is saying that the Note 4 cannot be rooted with a locked bootloader (at least so far). I don't even know how you found my thread without seeing all the others that say the Note 4 with locked bootloader can't be rooted. And if that is the case, then Secureboot: Enabled does not mean that the bootloader is locked, because we are seeing people root Note 4s that say that.
I can't believe this! Here is a video of a rootable (international version) Note 4 showing how to get into download mode:
http://youtu.be/p-zvwUS6as4
Which shows at timestamp 1:11 a secureboot enabled.

My intention of showing this video is not "how" to get into download mode, but it is to show the device that has "secureboot enabled" which is an international version that can obtain root.
Yes, yes, yes, the video does show how to get into download mode, however for the sake of the conversation, I wanted to show what the screen reads at timestamp 1:11

Oh, yes I see. Being an international version, it wouldn't have a locked bootloader, but it still shows that message in download mode about secureboot enabled. Thanks for posting.

I'm unsure how the -02 version ( Verizon version) could have an unlocked bootloader because Verizon keeps it locked down. In other Verizon moto phones, it takes Dev software like sunshine to make this happen and doubt they have provided this (and likely won't).
Please show proof via screenshot, would like to see how you got bootloader unlocked.

Put your phone in bootloader mode by powering off, then holding the power button and volume down button at the same time. It should show a black screen with a robot with red ! above (dead Andy). About 3rd line from bottom, it will say locked or unlocked. Let me know what that says or take a pic of the screen with another device and post it.
I recently got a 7x from ebay.co.uk. I noticed the opened box states the model is BND-AL10 (Chinese) but in the phone settings it's a BND-L21 (International). S/N and IMEI match.
Out of curiosity I tried Huawei Firmware Finder for Oreo. I used DNS method, picked the top one as seen here (verified): hxxp://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=BND-L21C432&firmware_page=0
It downloaded like 20 patches totalling around 8+GB and then asked to reboot...and failed.
My phone still works but I now get this during boot:
"your device has failed verification and may not work properly.
1) Press power key to continue.
2) Press volume up key up to 3 seconds to enter erecovery to restore your device.
3) your device will stop,start if there is not operation.
I tried Huawei eRecovery: 'Getting package info failed'
What should I do? Noob.

erecovey fails for everybody. dont know why.
the message you see is normal if bootloader is unlocked. You should have had that same message first time you turned it on too.
Attempting to use firmware finder to apply updates , is not possible to unlock bootloader, so it had to have already been that way.

This is known message resulting from of having boooader unlocked. Few people have been trying to make it not show , but no one has made it public if they have been successful at hiding it.
Now you got that phone (used, I assume ).From eBay. Perhaps the previous owner found some way. And attempting to update made his "hack" undo. Don't really know.
You can check if bootloader lock status to be sure if it is unlocked or not.

that status is very bad.
that combination of unlocked bootloader and locked frp is often hard if not impossible to get past.
unless you can access developer options menu and enable "enable oem unlock" menu option.

I read that "Huawei is no longer offering bootloader unlock code in 60 days." I tried to request a unlock but I get just get
"If you have any questions about the unlock code application, please contact us."
Nothing happens. I contacted them.
Will I ever need that unlock code given that it is already unlocked? Should I return/refund the phone and buy from Amazon UK or am I wasting my time, since I'll likely be requesting a unlock code and possibly be playing with roms in a few years. I keep phones as long as possible and a basic user which is why I have little knowledge with them.

I would try and get a refund (if you bought via PayPal I think you may get some kind of support).
You can get the 7x from UK retailers for as low as £210. But the current Amazon price of £228 is not bad.
Do you browse HotUKDeals? Always check there before buying anything in the UK or from China.

"Dear buyer,
Sorry for bring you any inconvenience and disappointment, the reason we have opened the package is because we need to download a multiplied language system to the phone before sent it out, they it can be use normal in this country.

Bootloader unlock and relock
deleted, posted on a new thread
Hi. I'm having an issue with this new phone. It's Wowi Ultra SQ766. On start up interface the 'Red State' notice comes up, goes off for 5 seconds and comes back on. The full message states:
'Red State
Your device has failed verification and may not work properly.
Please download boot image with correct signature or disable verified boot.
Your device will reboot in 5 seconds'.
Could you please help me out with a solution or fix for this.
I'd be happy if you would help.
Awaiting your reply.

Hi everyone !
Hope I'm not making any double post but I couldn't find any explanation for this very specific situation.
After thorough research it, it seems that most of samsung devices has a secret setting called "OEM unlock" that we have to use to do the first step of rooting the device. In some cases that setting is missing but can be displayed again by some "date settings" tricks or waiting 7 days. In some other cases which seems to be mine, the "OEM unlock" setting is simply removed by probably the carrier of the phone and can't be reinstated.
In that last case which seems to be mine, I can't find any precise information wether we can or we simply can't unlock bootloader by other way and therefore root the phone.
Could anyone enlighten me ?
Thank you very much in advance !

I assume you know that the OEM unlock toggle is in the developer settings? To enable developers settings, tap build number repeatedly until it says you are now a developer. You will need no fancy trick to show it as the lock that hides OEM unlock, only came out in oreo. I don't think carriers disable OEM unlock on Samsung's but I could be wrong. Lastly, if you get it figured out, go over here to the right thread and get it rooted. Good luck! https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa.../how-to-root-twpr-flash-a300fu-a300y-t3494362

Thank you for the answer.
You assume right. I enabled developers settings first, saw that I didn't have OEM unlock option visible, then started to look about this issue. It is quick to see that in many case, even for phone not on OREO (I'm with Marshmallow 6.0.1), this OEM unlock is missing. But based on internet available data, it seems that in most of the case there is a trick to make it visible again. It is a sort of samsung security against thief that hide this option for seven days.
The trick didn't work for me and by looking more I saw that some people seems to be facing the same situation as mine. Some suggest that it is disabled by carrier.
But I couldn't find a solution anywhere for that context.
My question remains.
Here is a more detailed explanation :
from https://www.howtogeek.com/239798/how-to-unlock-your-android-phones-bootloader-the-official-way/
""There are two kinds of phones in this world: Those that let you unlock your bootloader, and those that don’t.
Whether you’re allowed to unlock your bootloader depends on the manufacturer of your phone, the model you have, and even your carrier. Nexus phones are all unlockable by nature, and many phones from Motorola and HTC allow you to unlock your bootloader through a similar process as the Nexus.
Other phones, however–and some carriers–don’t allow you to unlock your bootloader the official way, which means you have to wait for developers to exploit a security vulnerability if you want to root and flash ROMs. If you have one of those phones, this guide will sadly not help you.
The best way to find out which category your phone falls into is to browse its section at XDA Developers. If you have an HTC or Motorola phone, you may be able too research its unlockability on HTC or Motorola’s website. If it doesn’t support unlocking, you’ll have to use an unofficial unlocking or rooting method, which you’ll usually find on the XDA Developers forums.""

The Galaxy A3 2015 (SM-A300FU) has no OEM unlock as A3 from 2015 don't even have FRP Lock, neither it has RMM state. That means there is no lock which prevents you to flash any custom binaries like TWRP recovery with Odin. You'll only lose access to knox apps/services (because of knox 0x1), rest remains the same.

Hi !
About my device, here are details :
Samsung A300FU
Android 6.0.1
BASEBAND VERSION : A300FUXXU1CPH3
Build number : MMB29M.A300FUXXS1CQD5
Carrier was French company called Bouygues.
About bootloader lock or not, I can see on various website that many samsung are bootloader locked but can be unlocked easily by this OEM unlock option. Sometimes it is missing. Two reasons for that : Security check that is removed after 7 days or apparently permanently removed by carrier or geographic area control.
If i'm in that last case, is there any other solution to unlock the boatloader ?Or the phone is just unrootable. It seems strange to me that some phone are just unrootable.
Thanks again !

If you read @prototype74 's post it explains it quite well. I think your bootloader is already unlocked if I read right.

Hi !
Thank you very much both of you for your help. Indeed there was no OEM unlock.
Many posts talking about OEM unlock existing on that A3 and the fact that I couldn't check if it was locked or not using the two methods advised (with adb or with a special code to dial up on the phone interface) led me to stop at that step to be sure before going on.
It is advises not to root a divise with a bootloader locked to avoid bricking it.
Anyway, trusting your input I did the whole process of rooting and putting a custom rom and it's all great !
Hi I have an s9 I went to check RMM State n OEM State in download mode and there is no RMM State Prenormal or OEM Lock Yes . I'm coming here as I was about to straight flash twrp but am unsure my knowledge would tell me with them not being there those security locks are are not in place n the bootloader is naturally unlocked on on my phone I'm also going to note that it is a snapdragon I don't see that hiding the two states from the bootloader states

Do you have OEM unlock in the developer options? Also what model phone do you have (kinda important to mention the model when asking for help).
If you have the model SM-G965U or SM-G965U1 the answer to this has been well asked/answered/discussed on the forum. The bootloader on this model can not be unlocked. It can not be rooted (maybe in future, but don't expect it to be anytime soon. Samsung did a good job locking this one down). You can not flash any custom firmware or recoveries to the phone.
If you have the SM-G9650 it looks like you would need to enable OEM unlock and possibly use some app to unlock the bootloader. I am not 100% sure on the usage of another app as well as OEM unlock, but OEM unlock should be present at least.
I have the sm-g960w canadian and no oem unlock has not appeared yet but on that same note inside download mode there is also nothing for rmm state prenormal/normal or oem lock yes/no It only shows FRP Lock the the Nox guard

If you have the model SM-G965U or SM-G965U1 the answer to this has been well asked/answered/discussed on the forum. The bootloader on this model can not be unlocked. It can not be rooted (maybe in future, but don't expect it to be anytime soon. Samsung did a good job locking this one down). You can not flash any custom firmware or recoveries to the phone.
If you have the SM-G9650 it looks like you would need to enable OEM unlock and possibly use some app to unlock the bootloader. I am not 100% sure on the usage of another app as well as OEM unlock, but OEM unlock should be present at least.

Best thing I can suggest is you ask your question inside the forum for the Galaxy S9 model. There are active discussions on what it is your asking... including ones you have already participated in.

No, there isn't another one but rather the one you should be using.
For some reason you posted this in the Galaxy S9+ Q&A instead of the Samsung Galaxy S9 Q&A

Despite what the app does the forum rules don't exactly permit you to post where ever you feel like for any reason. Accidents happen, but trying to rationalize posting in the wrong forum is not a good thing. You have a Galaxy S9 and should be posting in that topic.
That being said all the info you need can (rather easily in fact, took longer cuz I'm on my phone doing this and making lunch) be found searching the forum. For the model you have I found multiple references to the phone not being rootable. I also found a post saying in the galaxy S9 forum the bootloader was locked, and another post saying TWRP does not support your model.
If you want to hash it out further I suggest you ask in the correct forum for your actual phone model.

Hello all
SO I managed to get into download mode on my SM-t575 but it says that its managed by an organisation and was wondering if anyone knows how to disable the Knox on it ?
Thanks loads
Hi, does anyone know how to do this ?
Thanks
a year later and still trying to get into this tablet
anyone have any ideas ?
Thanks
Hello @Rixsta_musicman! Do you mean to be able to unlock the bootloader? I don't think there's ever a way to "disable" Knox, at least not anymore (i.e. disabling the bootloader will trip Knox and there's no way around it). Your device is a carrier device, correct? Has mobile data capability? If so, then see @googlephoneFKLenAsh's post below, which probably applies to you too:

Samsung devices (at least those with snapdragon cpus) on T-Mobile are not eligible for bootloader unlock anymore from 4-5 years ago.
The only option is to get the Wi-Fi only model. No cellular model in the US supports bootloader unlock, no even for the carrier-free unlocked model if it ever exists.
Or wait for an exploit for unofficial bootloader unlock which is possible but very low chance and you may need to pay 3rd party services to unlock if it happens.

Thanks, the device has a pin code to get in that I am not sure what it is and i want to be able to get in and root it, there's no way to get past the knox pin. It does have mobile capability yes, Ill check this post thanks a lot
Protected by knox cloud apparently
Im not sure if it was on T-Mobile though originally and the device is from the UK
