Nubia z11 Bootloader locked?

Hi,
is anybody here able to confirm whether the bootloader of the nubia z11 is locked or unlocked or at least unlockable?
I saw an ROM with a custom kernel so I assume it is unlockable?
Greetings and thanks

Hi
My phone arrived with the bootloader blocked, this can be seen running:
(reboot in bootloader mode, install android adb drivers then
fastboot oem device-info
DEVICE-UNLOCKED: false
To unlock my bootloader update to the Chinese ROM STOCK that has Android 7.1.1, enable the debugging options and in the same options appears PERMIT OEM UNLOCK, after enabling this option I was able to unlock the bootloader using:
Fastboot oem unlock
Now my bootloader is unlocked, since Android 6 I did not find a method

can you give me the link to the cinese rom? i'm unable to find it...

my android version is 7.1.1 and i would to install custom rom (for sure a rom with no google services ...)
i know for sure that i have to flash twrp , but before this i have to unlock the bootloader, and this is MY PROBLEM
it is 3 hours i'm looking for answers but can't find anything good

U dont need to downgrade, adb fastboot works with Nubia Z11. Make sure you download latest zte driver for your windows/mac os, only after that you'll be able to unlock it.

thx for your reading
but .. i found how to unlock the bootloader ..
the key point is that when you click on "allow oem unlock", the toggle becomes green but don't stay green if you're going out and re-enter dev options !
you have to click on the line and not on the toggle itself, and then you have to enter your pin !
then go back to bootloader and i have to type "fastboot oem unlock-go "
and voila !

In my case allow oem unlock 'toggle' worked normally, it asked for the pin as soon as i tap it and it stayed green after re-enterring in dev option.

First off, you do not need to necessarily unlock your bootloader to have root BUT you do need to have an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery in order to flash custom roms.
Check out steadfasterX's thread to unofficially unlock your bootloader here: [UNLOCK][UNOFFICIAL][G4] Unlock **ANY** LG G4 device with UsU
- the caveat is that you must be on or be able to downgrade to MM and have an ARB of 2 or less. Use SALT to ascertain your ARB version and to back up your MM stock rom (important!).
Then read thoroughly (everything, including the FAQ's) and make sure you understand fully the directions in the OP of the UsU unlock thread before proceeding to unlock ... and ... learn to use the Thanks button at the bottom right of the post where an XDA member is trying to help or guide you - it's an XDA courtesy.

You could refer to: Root ANY LG G4 Variant 100% Success Directives | Root Injection | Less Bricks
Use the search function, putting in your phone model, in the thread to get specific relevant posts to find any issues/problems. IMO, I would go the UsU unlock method, if you're able to ... and then root.

No video that I'm aware of. You don't know your network carrier? Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile network > Advanced > Access point names (APN's).

Unlock bootloader, flash twrp, flash the global zip mentioned several times in the forum. Better with EU chinese ROM as more features than global

Correct. If you try and lock the bootloader on the EU Chinese ROM or Global it's good bye phone.
If you don't unlock bootloader you'll be stuck on the Chinese ROM forever.

Why would you want to lock the bootloader?

Well?

Well what? If they want to lock the bootloader they can lock the bootloader.

That doesn't answer why! if it bricks the phone it might be useful to understand the process a bit fuller. I'm buying the Chinese version myself so want to be aware of why you'd want to lock the bootloader again

Return to stock, to sell, improve security, warranty etc
You'll only brick it if you install and lock the global ROM on a Chinese device, Chinese rom on a global device, or lock on the Chinese EU ROM

Cool. So if I get the Chinese one I'll put the EU one on.
I don't think I'd need to worry about locking the bootloader for a long time. I want this phone to last a few years and it seems reliable enough. And the processes will improve all the time.
Thanks!

Locking the bootloader is for certain applications and features that requires a more "secure" phone, since an unlocked bootloader is considered not "secure".
Payment Applications, Banking Applications, and DRM applications (Netflix) and such requires the phone to have a locked bootloader, or it will not work.

Are you forgetting Magisk? I'm unlocked since surviving 72 hours of stock locked hell. All my banking apps and Google pay have worked for the past 2 months.
BTW stock Chinese or Dev or Global are garbage compared to the EU version anyways.

Root with Magisk 22 - Is it possible also on this phone?

Hi all
I know that, at the moment, there is no way to unlock bootloader (is it correct?) on Oppo A52, but is there a way to use Magisk 22 new root technique to root it?
I see that in the Developer Options there is an OEM Unlock option and I have activate it, but I don't see anything different...
Thanks for any suggestions or explanations.

If that toggle moved, typically that means your bootloader can be unlocked. This is normally done through fastboot commands like "fastboot oem unlock" but it's different for some phones and I don't have this one. Hopefully someone here will chime in soon.

There is no way.
Oppo Phones are not Unlockable!
that means: no unlock = no root

Is there a danger of breaking the device by following these instructions?

How can i unlock the OEM? :c i want to root but i cant unlock that HELP!

United States version does not have OEM unlock. Changing date does nothing or waiting 7days. Have to use paid service to unlock bootloader

And I just noticed by the build number you posted, your device is to updated to use the paid service. You would need to be on bootloader 1 you are on bootloader 4 and there is no way to downgrade.

You can't root. You have to have an unlocked bootloader. Your device has been updated to far. You can't flash backwards. You can't unlock bootloader or root or any type of custom recovery

Which paid service can i use ?

Have a look at the below thread
no OEM Unlock toggle in dev options
as stated in the title on my s20 plus (SM-G968W) there is no toggle for OEM Unlock, its been a long time since ive tried to root and from what ive been able to pick up from googling is it may not be supported for my country or cpu manufacturer...
