The guy says you can't flash it. This was over a month ago, as well I cannot respond IN that thread for some odd reason.
Our bootloaders are locked is why we can't flash it.

Just noticed something. I can OEM unlock the phone... Does that mean that my bootloader is unlocked??

Short answer, no. OEM unlocking is just a step that needs to be taken in the process of unlocking a bootloader.
Don't try flashing TWRP after ticking OEM unlock. It won't work.

I'm getting my T-MO G3 returned soon and would like to unlock the bootloader asap but I'm not exactly sure how. Is it just FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK or is there something else?

Whenever I've unlocked a bootloader, it wipes the device. I'd rather do that before I set it up with my apps and accounts.

Correct me if I am wrong but every phone comes with a locked bootloader even the nexus line you need to unlock. We really need to stop calling encrypted bootloaders locked. So this phone isn't encrypted but surely it is locked.
Our G3 is the only one that's unlocked.

Guys. There is a difference between unlocked and unlockable. This being unlocked means there's nothing really to do. That's why it's so unusual.

I believe It's unlocked. Rooted with twrp
Unlocked, just rooted and installed twrp, nothing else to do about it.

Hi guys. I want to remove this warning message when i boot up my phone. Can anyone help me? Thanks!
being able to do this would be great! I tried all the fastboot commands that work on different devices to re-lock the bootloader, flashed the bootloaders again...downgrade to Android 5, uncheck enable EOM unlock in the developer options..tried fastboot commands.. all was in vain...
Any other ideas?

I don't want to relock my bootloader. My goal is just removing this message. Because if the bootloop issue happen to me, sellers will not know that i've unlocked my bootloader. So they will repair my phone for free.
please can any mod close this? Has already been asked and answered. it's not possible! Do a damn search before!
there is not mention of this as far as I sow it anyways...
If you have it then post the link here so we can see it also .
PS: under the same logic we would not try to find a root or bootloader unlock and talk about it because its not currently possible.

If your in the EU and phone is still under warranty, LG will repair defected devices regardless if BL is unlocked as its a known defect. Read this thread.

I read about a guy saying something like changing the I-M-E-I (dont want to get banned or something) to something else, reboot and then restore it, you should have a relocked bootloader..
it sounds a bit shady but maybe this can actually work...depending on how this unlock is done.

I'm pretty sure on one of the unlock threads, it says to contact @ryanbg to have a custom unlock binary made. I think you have to send your CID and aboot to him, and then he can make you a custom unlock binary.

You should do some reading. It doesn't work like that. If you ever lock your bootloader you will never be able to unlock it again. No reason to lock it anyways.

I don't think you are correct. If you leave the bootloader on 7.1, you should be able to unlock it again using depixel8.
Where has anyone done what I am proposing to do - upgrade everything but the bootloader to 7.1.1 and leave the bootloader on 7.1? No one has done it. So no one knows.
im pretty sure you have to manually relock the bootloader,so updating to 7.1.1 shouldn't matter.
They cant relock your bootloader through software is what i was told by depilxel 8 developer.
I am updating to 7.1.1 right now just to get back to factory state need google support.
cant be reached on most custom roms.
No current stock rooted roms exist,so fresh start is needed.

As soon as you update to 7.1.1 and you are locked, you will not be able to unlock again with depixel8. I don't care if you have a bootloader from 2 years ago. You probably should decide once and for all if you want the device secure and locked or unlocked. Otherwise at some point you will be in a pickle.
Sent from my Pixel using XDA-Developers Legacy app
There's always a way to find out. Let us know how it goes.
You should not be locking you're bootloader if it's not necessary. And depixel8 pushes stuff to system in order to enable allow oem unlocking. These things may not work on newer systems regardless of the bootloader version.

Your OP implies you can update everything else except the bootloader leaving you free to lock and unlock whenever you want which is 100% not true. There are new threads about this every week all the info is there. If you are on 7.1 you can unlock with dePixel8. Yea technically you could relock and unlock again ONLY while on 7.1 but there is 0 reason to. If you aren't 100% stock when locking you are going to have issues. Also if you're phone installs an OTA while you have the bootloader locked then you are 100% screwed and won't be able to unlock again. Either unlock it and never lock it again or don't bother. You're making something very simple overly complicated.

You can't.. it doesn't work like that. Go ahead and try if you want. There are countless threads about the bootloader. With all the knowledgeable​ people here do you think they somehow just overlooked something so simple? There are 5 bootloaders total actually. Once you install 7.1.1 you will not be able to unlock again. Multiple people have told you this but you seem to not believe anyone so go ahead and prove us wrong.

There is more than one bootloader which is what you are not understanding. There are 5. No one is certain exactly what 7.1.1 changed but if you flash any part of it (not just the bootloader) then you won't be able to unlock again.

Ahhh. That is different but that's on TMO not OP.
This is just objectively false information. The "Fastboot OEM Unlock" command is depreciated and has been replaced by "fastboot flashing unlock" and regardless neither are applicable unless the bootloader can even be unlocked, which it can't be without the Token.
They both work, I have tested both commands.

No, it's on OP. T-Mobile's part is to sim unlock, allowing the oem unlocking option in dev options. OP is the one providing the token, and they essentially make you wait a week for no reason.

Correct, back in the HTC One days you had to apply for a token but it was emailed to you within a few minutes. This week+ nonsense is exactly that, utter nonsense.

No one called you stupid, but nitpicking over which unlock command to use is a pointless debate when Shane still doesn't have the unlock token in the first place.
Well I've been on OP since OP1 and I've never requested a bootloader unlock. However I've never bought an OP phone from a carrier. Perhaps that's why.
