Hello guys ,
I tried to unlock my boatloader and when i pressed on oem unlocking and kept going next it ended at the screen saying connect to computer and type fast boot thing .
It didn't request me to wait 14 days , is that normal guys ? And i can unlock it safely now right ?
Note : This is the first time for me to enter that option
Thanks
Short answer: no.

It is weird because i didn't wait for 14 days :/ it was ready to be unlocked from the first time without waiting
That's why i was asking if that was normal .
Thanks anyway
If you want to unlock try if its working. Theres no risk if it doesnt work you maybe have to wait 14 days. Do you bought it already used?
Maybe you send an request long time ago

It is not weird if your bootloader was already unlocked and then locked again.

Thanks for your reply .
Im just afraid that if the screen got broken or any thing like that , the lenovo repair centers won't accept to repair the phone even if i wanted to pay for the repairs , will they ??
And i bought the phone as new , but i sent it to the repair center once before , i was wondering if they are who unlocked then relocked it

You will never be able to unlock the bootloader on that phone, unless your carrier can give you some kind of code to change your unlock status (not sure this is even possible).

I can get the unlock code not a problem to unlock phone to any network. am already waiting for that from o2 so can use on any network but will this work or is it a septate code that is used for bootloader or somthing

The BL is different, if it came from O2 then chances are you cant unlock the BL.
So there is no chance? It worked with xperia arc and omnius. Costs about 15$, that would be ok. But will it work with our z1c in the near future? Or is it just "luck" to find an exploit?

Well nothing is impossible, but it isn't likely as it requires a bootloader exploit. Realistically it isn't going to happen though, unless some smart people devote a lot of time to it. The most likely scenario (using test point to gain more software access) would require hardware tampering.
Hello Mentalghost,
Unfortunately there is no way to unlock the bootloader when the status is "No".
Have a great day, cheers!

MentalGhost, where did you purchase your phone? This phone isn't sold by any carriers in the USA, to the best of my knowledge, so the bootloader shouldn't be locked.

Bought in UK where I am not in USA. Might take back to shop where bought from and see if got any others in lol
Or wait for locked bootloader versions or someone makes modded version with unlocked rom that is been modded like one where you install modded that is unlocked install and then can unlock bootloader did in xperia s I use to have was a modded rom that was originally saying bootloader unlock no and added new Base rom and then said bootloadr unlock yes maybe this will happen on this phone in time or locked bootloader kernels and rom come along

I'd recommend to anyone that is still able to return a Phone to do so because I think you'll find you'll be waiting a long time for a solution.

Plus, there will be no solution. The reason why Xperia Arc S and other 2011 Xperias worked with testpoint method was because of that there was a big security flaw in the security of the testpoints nand access, but those flaws have been fixed in newer Xperias and newer 2011 Xperias also.

+1 It was coming to that realization that I sold my O2 locked Z after 6 months to buy an unbranded Z1 Compact. It worked out cheaper too spending hundreds of pounds up front for my Phone with the added bonus of having access to all of it.
What happens if you still follow the instructions on how to do it? I didn't check if it was allowed and I'm stuck in bootloop and I can't flash via flashtool,

I've attached a picture. I also took a video of the process which leads up to the picture, however the video is quite large . If you need to see it I can share it through some other mean. If youd like more info, I can post that too.

I used the app from asus did you scroll down and tick boxes ?
0094 0173 is unlocked bootloader in 5 LP
http://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-59699-1-1.html this one here
This one same as yours ?
Hi, yes I ticked the boxes, both of them. I've attached a s screenshot of my software.
Is it possible the boot loader is already unlocked? I bought this phone used. I know that when you unlock boot loader the intro screen is white, but that could easily be flashed back to black. So is there a way to check? I doubt it but you never know.

Hey , just noticed your serial number being 0 to F , maybe related ...it looks like it's been flashed but incorrectly. Can you boot to boot loader again , whilst connected to PC.
count to 10 , press vol + once , is your serial the same ?
If the same ,it will have to be flashed correctly.
I'm ready to go sleep now ...we sort this again
Ps, forget that all above if that was a shot attempting to unlock in boot loader which is normal to have 0 to F , but if its like that 0 to F when booting into boot loader normally , then it needs flashing , confusing I know ... I need sleep lol
Figured it out.... all because of this guy:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67513433&postcount=47
Turns out it was the stupid lockscreen that prevented it. I turned it off and just like not, did the exact same thing and unlocked.

I was having a hard time trying to unlock mine...
(used official APK from ASUS = https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/ )
I have discovered that if you use the command 'adb reboot bootloader'
the phone boot with that info below:
Code:
SERIAL NUMBER - 0123456789ABCDEF
SIGNING - ?
SECURE_BOOT - ?
If you boot holding the volume up when the first vibration occurs, then it will show the true serial number
but I have rooted and freezed many system apps, and I was having errors for unlocking the bootloader. Then I finally did it by simply making a backup, going to recovery, and clearing the data. After the phone booted, I downloaded the official app again, and then voila.
Just sharing my experience
Thank you

Yes, or you must have a account where you unlocked a device before. Most of the times you need to wait 720/360 hours or so.

Oh NO i had to unlock for change imei... i dont know anything about redmi phones.. this is very interesting...
So dang first of all this situation sucks I have the phone(A505GN) now for over a year.. and I'm having a hard time unlocking the boot loader so here's the method that I tried using.
1. I tried the method where you change date and update etc didn't work
2. Tried waiting for 168 hours didn't work
It's getting hopeless I can't flash anything except official rom dang it I hope someone can save me from this dreadful situation I freaking won't get any other samsung phone
I attached a picture of my download mode I can turn the frp lock off but can't turn off oem lock so this sucks HELP me please
@Lynjun002
IIRC an Android user can not unlock the bootloader without OEM unlocking, because without this process the device will not accept the bootloader unlocking command.

my download mode doesnt say anything about RMM i only have the line that says KG STATE : NORMAL
So there is no problem with rmm lock
And your phone is not the US varient
Actually you need to use your phone for 168 hours with internet connection on and no reboots. Did I do the same?

No need to factory reset. Reboot and start 168 hours with data ON and see if it helps. You can see your uptime somewhere in About phone. When it reaches 168 hours then check for updates and see if OEM lock appears

i am with tmo it all depends on who you get and how present it to tmo on why you need it u locked i got mine unlocked on day one within a hour and im making payments granted ive been with them for like ten years so im sure that helps.ive done it before but i will admit it sounded harder this time the rep was like i will be right back with you i have to get this approved with a superviser ten minutes later he said it was approved and within 24 hours i would be able to unlock inrebooted phine from there and unlocked it.the oem lock in dev settings took 3 days before moto unlocked that as for unlocking my bootloader i havent went thay far yet i dont see the need yet and ive read you will not receive updates.honestly unless you are a developer there isnt alot on this device yet im sure it will come but i think ive seen one rom twrp i believe is spotty at the moment were probably a good three months atleast away before it really starts rolling.i will say it you use my way with metro make sure u sound like your in a officail compasity and you have a need as mot to spill the beans thats all i will say and good luck
