how to unlock bootloader????

im getting the pixel 2xl tomorrow from google. .. i want unlock bootloader . could someone that has success unlocking boatloader, please make a quick step by step guide for windows.
i have latest ADB installed in windows.

Should be the same as the XL. Go into fastboot and type in:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot reboot

first go to developer settings and check oem unlocking

Same as the Pixel 1...

ok... i thought i read it was different somewhere. i been trying to find post.

in google site they have an extra line https://developers.google.com/android/images#taimen
''
If necessary, unlock the device's bootloader using one of the following methods:
If you are updating a Nexus or Pixel device that is manufactured in 2015 or later, run this command:
fastboot flashing unlock
For some devices, for example, Pixel 2 XL, the critical partitions may also need to be unlocked before flashing. The unlock can be performed with this command:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
"
what is this unlock critical thing

The critical unlock goes a step further and allows users to flash custom bootloaders, which are usually only necessary for removing certain security restrictions or occasionally for adding special features.

so critical only for flashing other bootloader
which is something i never heard before

Can anyone confirm whether running fastboot flashing unlock_critical will wipe your device? I've already run fastboot flashing unlock, which of course does wipe the device, but now I need to know if this new command will do so as well. EDIT: After reading over that android police link, this appears to be nothing new so I doubt this will be required on the Pixel XL 2 now in order to have root since it wasn't required for the 6P or the OG Pixels. This could have changed with the new Pixels, so we'll have to figure out if the critical command is actually needed.

do you think the critical unlock would work against magisk in anyway? I just want to unlock so i can root and get adaway, but use magisk when available to still have android pay and netflix

you only need it is flashing a custom bootloader
but for anything else you don't need it
root- recovery -roms - oem update - original bootloader
at least that what the dev google site says

I'm still waiting for the TWRP boot loader to be ready for 2XL. Seeing that I'm probably getting the phone either the end of this week or next week, we still have time.

FYI...you don't have to unlock your bootloader to achieve root. You can still root a phone and have a locked bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader is to allow custom recovery flashing, such as TWRP. Personally, TWRP is a must for me and I always unlock my phone.

how do you plan on rooting with a locked bootloader? I don't believe this is possible on the Pixel/Pixel 2.

Yeah, I guess you're right. It depends on the phone and root method. If you're using SuperSU or magisk you'd have to unlock the bootloader. IDK. Just forget everything I said. LOL

it'd be pretty awesome if someone found a way to root with a locked bootloader. I believe the S8/Note 8 has been rooted with a locked bootloader, now only if this was somehow brought into the world of the pixel. lol.

Unlock_critical is needed to even flash stock bootloader's. To flash 8.1 preview I had to unlock_critical to update the boatloader to even get passed. It's a required check.

A clean more stock version of Android on the 5Z would make the phone near perfect.
Hopefully we'll be able to unlock the bootloader for the 5Z as well. Time will tell.

If we unlock bootloader and root would we lose system updates and if relock bootloader would we lose root?

Has any one successfull flashed update via doad volume up and down plus power

im trying to fix my device wondering has any one ever flased a update package via sdcard and dload mode mines fail at 5 percent everytime

same here...

this might be closest we have for 7x at this point
This is only for nougat . And after reading the guide few more times, I see it is incomplete.

Oh man, there should have been this kind of post a while ago. I wanted to go completely stock on emui 8 stable as I was stuck on emui 8 beta and I trusted the dload method so I locked everything up stock recovery, BL relock etc... Now, the dload fails at 5% and my phone is as good as bricked.
Can you tell me about this DC tool? How much did it cost? Even if I'm able to get rid of that frp lock, I can unlock bootloader again and flash any rom I want.

Hi, the guide never says "unlocked bootloader" so how does that Huawei tool installs twrp without Unlocked BL? Does it?
See, in my situation to unbrick my phone, all I need is to get that frp unlock. I can only do it by going into settings but my phone is all wiped out when I relocked the bootloader.
So, I saw your post in other thread about some command "fastboot frp-erase " "fastboot frp-unlcok unlock code" I know I don't remember the commands but my point is can we erase the frp with that command? or can we get frp unlock code from some service and unlock it? so I can simply Unlock BL by "fastboot oem unlock unlock code"?? I can get myself out of trouble by flashing any rom or twrp backup that I have. Now, my phone is as good as dead. Please reply!!

The DC tool is 15euros to use for 72 hours I still have it and you can use it if you want my bootloader was unlocked and frp locked but niether of those matter because the program does some back door fastboot trick to flash......... To restore your phone or at least get a working version of TWRP I recommend you install the DC tool configure the update app in the application for your device once all the files are extracted in the application it will try to flash and it will fail then it will say backdoor open and you have to have your CMD prompt ready to flash your TWRP so all you have to do is hit enter it will flash real quick then pull the cable from your phone and boot into TWRP and fix from there

[REQUEST] TWRP or any recovery for Nokia 5.1 plus (global) or X5

I have seen a lot of forums about TWRP for 5.1 plus or X5 and they provide links from where to download those recovery files but I am unable to download any due to links being dead. If anyone has one of those files please post here. Please!

No one has it because no one can unlock bootloader and develop TWRP . That's why the links are dead.

Well I am able to unlock bootloader but I am quite inexperienced at building recoveries.

Did you have to pay money to unlock your bootloader?
That said, have you noticed that it seems the Nokia 5.1plus doesn't have a recovery? Updates are installed while the phone is running as opposed to the traditional way of installation in recovery

No, i didn't pay to unlock.
Also, about recovery. It does have one but its somewhat useless (right about now).

We can easily go to bootloader by connect the charger to the type c charging port and power off the phone.
Step 2 - Press volume UP and Power button at same time and hold until the Android one logo comes out.
(Android bot with no command pops out )
Step 3- press volume down to confirm.
(Applause , you get into boot loader . )
You can use time procedure with volume Down button for fastboot mode.

I don't have this phone anymore. You can't unlock bootloader.

Hey guys, maybe this page didn't exist before, but it looks pretty possible now to unlock the bootloader through Nokia's website.
I tried it until nearly the end of the procedure but I stopped just at the last warning I'd void my warranty because:
my phone just comes back from warranty (USB connector problem) and I don't want to miss the opportunity to resend it in cas it breaks again
I'd like to try and install LineageOS as per https://www.getdroidtips.com/lineage-os-17-1-nokia-5-1-plus/ but it seems the instructions on this webpage are not applicable since I don't seem to find a working TWRP for my fully patched 5.1 Plus. However, when I'm assured LineageOS is possible without breaking any important features (this is my main phone), I'll consider it's worth it - farewell Evenwell bloat and task-killers! - and gladly take the plunge.

Lineage os 17
Is there any developer intrested in building Lineage os 17.1 or 18 for nokia 5.1 plus ?this mobile has decent specs and is treble supported .It will be very helpful for Nokia 5.1 plus users.

bootloader cannot be unlocked officialy - the link in nokia website is for nokia 8 only.
TWRP is available.
There is unofficial method of unlocking bootloader ($7) pricing because the software that is used to unlock needs credits which is bought by the developer who unlocks the bootloader, if there is any free method , he will update it.

Root method for Oppo A52

Hey everyone,
I have just purchased an oppo a52 and looking to find out if there is any root methods currently available. I have searched but unable to find any information about it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

The first thing to look for is unlocking the bootloader which is not currently doable

Regarding unlocking the bootloader in the developer options menu it has an option for OEM unlock. Forgive me as I am very very basic at this type of stuff but would that have anything to do with unlocking the bootloader?

Nope that is not enough.
There should be access to bootloader first (usually through "adb reboot bootloader"), then the command for unlocking bootloader (usually "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot flashing unlock") should work. But none of this is available yet
Even the full ROM is not available on Oppo website yet. So nothing to develop here!

I thought everyone said it's not able to be unlocked.
Although the setting is able to be changed in developer options. Has that only just been enabled due to an update?
So can we just enable the setting and run fastboot flashing unlock from fastboot. Backup before trying if someone does it.

it is not possible to unlock the bootloader.
The device is already over 6 months old, nothing else will happen.
With ColorOS11 many adjustments by Oppo disappear, it will be more like AOSP.
A first alpha of ColorOS11 went to the first 100 users last week.

Aren't these methods true?
