"this device is locked" i forgot the mi account password and i don't have access to the phone number anymore, i tried MRT unlock tool and it worked and the phone booted but after connecting to the internet it showed me the same message "this device is locked" what to do?
I have a metropcs Oneplus nord n100 I'm trying to access the the bootloader but oem option in developer mode is greyed out. Also i don't own a pc is there any way i can unlock.bootloader without a pc?
There are a few devices on which the bootloader can be unlocked without the need of a PC and fastboot command sets. For example, many Samsung devices can be bootloader unlocked by going to device Settings>About Phone and tapping Build Number 7 times until Developer Options is enabled. In Developer Options, enabling the OEM Unlock option will unlock the bootloader, thus disabling the layer of protection which restricts flashing of certain device partitions. Other than Samsung, there are some device OEMs and models which also allow bootloader unlocking in this manner. However, on most devices, in addition to enabling OEM Unlock, fastboot mode must be initiated, device and PC synced with a cable, and a command line or command set must be executed.
If your device oem unlock is greyed out, you can try unlocking it using fastboot and recovery mode with the help of a pc.

Thanks i will do further research and once again thank you for taking the time to reply
Carrier-locked devices generally do not have unlockable bootloaders, or at the very least until 6 months has passed for a SIM unlock in the case with Metro going by how T-Mobile handled bootloader unlocking with the OnePlus 6T. However, that's unconfirmed and I could not find any information on either carrier-locked models for the N100 regarding this matter. So for now, it's a dead end.
yes I'm having the same issue here with the be2015 metropcs variant. They're saying 180 days (6months) till able to unlock this phone. I've been searching for some sort of way around it but no lock as of yet. Please everyone keep us all updated just in case.
when i do
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
I get FAILED (remote: 'Flashing Unlock is not allowed.
I've been trying to follow this guide here with Shizuku but I'm also running into issues. any help here please? Thanks yall
Yeah, that tuturial in the other post that the mod locked, he also deleted the commands. I'm guessing there's an issue that xda doesn't want to be involved in, kinda like writing new imei's. So I guess we're kinda screwed.
I bought this phone cheap, €117 at a discount. And Its EU version, where I can unlock the oem bootloader on this phone.
You can enable OEM unlock in Debug menu with debloat until from girhub, but you cannot unlock bootloader in metro phones.
Even if you have got unlock token, OnePlus says that's imei failed.
So is there any way to unlock this phone from carrier?

if it's metro, it has the unlock app on it; still have to be paid up and 180 days in on your account, though

Just for the record everyone:
Bugjaeger Premium - Apps on Google Play
Debugging and maintenance tool for Android devices
play.google.com
Bugjaeger Premium actually allows you to use an OTG Connection, (Android-->Android), that enables A Real connection via ADB/Fastboot.
So for all those that have no PC, but have two devices, it is possible to use one to run the ADB or Fastboot consoles and run authentic commands. I use it all the time since a desktop isn't so portable.
It takes a little thinking when it comes to the directories used, but I've easily ran Fastboot oem unlock and flashing commands before on the go

Tell you the truth, I was in the process of switching out SD Cards in the BE2015 and while I had the SIM/Tray out I saw that the developer options allowed the OEM Unlock toggle to be switched....
The option greyed itself back out once the sim was reinserted, but, I was able to toggle the switch ON before it did all that.
And even greyed out the option remains switched ON now.
For the record.
here your solution
One+_TooL with Grayed out Oem_Unlock (Bootloader Unlock)enabler & Engineer Decrypt
Here is my latest version of My Oneplus Tool . This tool can do almost everything for you. I have added a method to switch the Oem_Unlock switch on Sim locked devices. It will ungray the switch so you can flip it and bootloader unlock. It still...

I bought a used unlockable (or it was advertised as such) Motorola Moto G7 Play from Amazon in the hopes of unlocking the bootloader and installing something like LineageOS on it. The model is XT1952-4 and the cid is 0x0000, which is supposed to be unlockable according to their website. In the developer options, Android debugging and OEM unlock are ticked on.
I enter the bootloader (via adb reboot-bootloader in a terminal [Im on FreeBSD] or turning off the phone and holding down the lower volume and power button) and then run fastboot oem get_unlock_data in order to get a string for the unlock code on their website. However, this is where I get stumped:
(bootloader) Unlock data:
(bootloader) Unlock data unavailable
(bootloader) Failed
OKAY [ 0.011s]
^ is the result. I have contacted both their forum and via phone and on the phone their higher up told me that the Moto G7 Play cannot be unlocked.. Yeah. So now I'm left with no clue as to what to do, which is why I'm here to ask does anyone have a solution to this? This "unlock data unavailable" error is seldom mentioned and there's no clear answer. Could someone please provide some clarity and/or a solution to this issue? I would preferably not want to have to return this phone and find another after waiting so long for it.
My pixel 3 xl doesn't let me turn on oem unlocking, which I need in order to unlock bootloader. It says that I need to connect to the internet or contact my carrier service provider. Is there any fix to this or any way to bypass this and enable bootloader?
Most likely it is a verizon phone. Open chrome, see the URL in google.com, it should have "verizon" in the GET parameters
so i was able to, after reading here that a12 allows OEM unlock to not be greyed out anymore, google the OEM unlock and then run the fastboot OEM get_unlock_code and able to get the code. however after entering the imei, code, email and serial number on the unlock token website, it continues to tell me that code or serial number is invalid. however it isn't. everything is correct. anyone have a fix for this?

Are you on T-Mo or another ROM.
T-Mo requires a token to be emailed to you from OP. The others do not and can be unlocked from fastboot.
Well yea I know. What I'm saying is that on a12 stock tmo the oem unlock toggle is no longer greyed out. Sim locked. I was able to get the fastboot get_unlock_code and use that for the code on the website. When I enter in the unlock code, the serial number, email address and imei, the website complains the unlock code or serial number is invalid even though they aren't. This is the step to get the unlock code email from OP after 1 week.

Regardless I was able to do the conversion to EU and unlock that way without needing to sim unlock first since a12 has oem unlock available without sim unlock
