Hey everyone,
I decided to just go ahead and pay to have my bootloader unlocked, only cost $22. Now the problem is finding TWRP for the Nova 3. Has anyone been working on this?
Currently on EMUI 8.2, Android 8.1.
Thanks.
Could U please explain a little bit more about the process of getting your bootloader unlocked?

Hey everyone, I haven't done any phone modding since getting an LG G4 but I'm wondering if it is yet possible to install CM14 (Android 7.1) on the LG G4 yet?
I know the bootloader was locked and probably still is, but is there anyway to make this happen yet?
Can I flash down to Lollipop, gain root and then flash the new CM14 even though it says you need an unlocked bootloader for the install?
I really hate that this Canadian version still has a locked bootloader!
no you can't. sorry
Well I bought my zenfone 2 it's been 1 year ago, and on the end of 2016 I rooted it because I don't had hope on 6.0.1 update anymore since it was full of bugs. I still on 5.0 and now I want to update to 6.0.1 but I don't know how. My bootloader is unlocked and I have TWRP I was planning on flash the stock recovery and then push the update but there is the problem. Can I update with unlocked bootloader? Or I'll need to lock it again then update? I really can't bare with the 5.0 firmware anymore and I need to update. But since I don't have a constant access to a computer I don't want to brick my phone.
Yes, I tried search for tutorials online but all I get is how to unlock bootloader on zenfone 2 on the 6.0 firmware and how to root it..but I don't get none answer to my question so I hope someone here can help me.

flash stock bootloader LP( boot, ifwi, recovery, fastboot). factory reset device. unlock bootloader with official app. and sideload latest MM. later on flash twrp.
Guys, I have a problem. I need to relock the bootloader, I didn't had any problems before trying LineageOS and it's recovery... after testing the rom, I decided to go back to STOCK MIUI and relock the bootloader, but when mi flash finish installing and locking again the booloader, the system gets corrupted and I have to unlock the bootloader again (fortunately MI FLASH UNLOCK still lets me unlock the bootloader) ... This has never happened before, only after trying LOS recovery and Lineage OS official. My redmi 7 works with the bootloader unlocked but i can't get it locked again because "the phone system got destroyed".... i havent found nothing on the internet :/, have you any idea what this happens? cant get netflix working... Thanks in advice. Hope y'all are well
I just went through the same hell

Hi, glad to hear that i'm not the only one who had this problem, i had PixelExperience installed and wanted to go back to MIUI so i installed 11.0.5, this isn't the first time that i relocked the bootloader, so i knew what to do, but then the "Your system has been destroyed" message hit me, hopefully i tried and succesfully reunlocked the bootloader, and it just booted me in MIUI.
Soooo.... right now, my theory ( cause i've been able to relock the bootloader in the past ) is that somehow, MIUI 11.0.5 broke the relocking of the bootloader, so tomorrow ( cause right now im exhastued of what i just went through ) im going to try to install MIUI 10.3.4.0 and relock the bootloader.
If you want to give it a try and it works, reply to this comment, if tomorrow i try and it works i will let you know.
Hopefully it works tomorrow.
Sincerely, themselg
Hey Hi,
After using the Android 10 based rom you can't relock the bootloader of the phone using android 9 Fastboot ROM. wait for android 10 based official MIUI.

I just downgraded to MIUI 10.3.4.0 and can confirm that, that wasn't the problem, so yeah, we need to wait until the Android 10 based MIUI 11 rom comes to the device ( it just launched 3 days ago in China so i hope we don't have to wait that long ).

Hello there, I've bought this model.
There was a custom ROM flashed on it when I get it.
I've flashed it back by the Stock Firmware.
Then I saw that the device is locked by Xiaomi.
What can I do?
The best option would be to unlock it with the Stock Firmware on it, so I would have any other Option,.
If this isn't possible I would like to know how I can flash a custom ROM on it.
The bootloader is also locked, so please help me.
Bye, JonnyBoy84

Ask seller for unlock bootloader again (Official way) and remove his account from phone. (But I don't think he had, maybe he got the phone by unofficial way also)
Or you can use free unofficial tool to unlock it (Unofficial way, easy to find on YouTube).
Then choose one custom rom from forum.
Follow guide and enjoy the rom
