Enable developer settings, then enable OEM UNLOCK. This will unlock the bootloader.
Then you can flash everything with odin3

i think it's for their business, bbk (mother company of oppo, vivo, and oneplus) only release kernel source code for oneplus
oppo and vivo for average user without tweaking oriented
oneplus for high performance phones and android geeks
That means i can't install lineage os 15.1 or 16
On my vivo v9????

why honor 8 pro development stoped..

Guys, did any one knows what are the reasons behind no custom rom development for our devices.
It has very good hardware and a lot of developments can be done.
There are openkirin roms though!!! I did use the RROS gsi... It wasn't all that bad!!
Ghoos khilaya hoga sale chutiyo ne developers ko.
I don't think even Honor Play will be getting root now, because Huawei will not be providing bootloader unlock codes for new devices:https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-stop-providing-bootloader-unlock-codes/

Do you know if there is any possible way of unlocking the bootloader of a honor 8 pro right now (its on the newest firmware too :/)
Or rooting without unlocking the bootloader? I don't think thats possible though, is it?

Hey there, I have the 3a (not XL), but since they're the same (just screen size is different) after unlocking the bootloader and root, you need to edit the build.prop file.
There's a few guides out there in for the Pixel 3 that worked for me.
Thank you so much. Do you happen to have a link to a guide for the bootloader unlock?

Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ SM-N9750

Hey guys, I am planning to change my Exynos S10+ for a the HK/Chinese Snapdragon version SM-N9750.
I wanted to ask you if this version the bootloader can be unlocked, I am only looking to unlock it to flash updates manually when they come out, not for rooting.
Looking for your answers.
Thanks

Hello,
I have a SM-N9750 (HK) and yes you can toggle the unlock bootloader option. But you don't even need to do that if you're flashing official updates.
