I can't see the Oem unlocking option in developer options, is there a way to enable it that works? I have unlocked my device and recently reset it.

[Q] Allow OEM unlocking

Usually in unlocked phones, bootloader can be unlocked using "fastboot oem unlock" command from platform tools. Android 5.1 in android one devices has a new security option in that, the above command works only when "Allow OEM unlocking" is enabled in developer tools. It's an added protection feature in case you lose your phone, the thief may unlock the phone and flash a new rom bypassing your pin/pattern lock.

Do you have Secured lock screen (PIN, pattern, or password)?
It's useless if you don't have any of these setup.

I have a password setup on my phone.
I have a Micromax Canvas a1 and when I try to enable this option ..... Then a warning message appears saying that "Device Protection features will not work while this feature is turned on" Then there are two option buttons "Cancel" and "Enable" When I press enable it turns on for a second and turns of itself
any way to allow this option via fastboot..?
Not working
Hey help me I have spice dream uno when i try to unlock oem i get the option enable and cancel when i select enable nothing happens it remains unchecked

help.

is it possible to unlock the bootloader without enabling developer options.
Well i think that is not possible.
You need to have android debugging enabled for unlocking the bootloader.
I tried doing it from cmd prompt,
It says
"remote em unlock is not allowed "
oem

I want to change the rom. I don't have access to the settings because I did a hard reset before enabling the developer options.
No worries I got the steps from rootjunky. He's done a good job.

OEM Unlock = Unlock Bootloader?

If I understand correctly OEM unlock means that it unlocks bootloader, right?
So I have the OEM unlock option in my Developer Options and I'm wondering why people are using adb to unlock the bootloader instead of just ticking OEM option?
Is it not the same?
Can I just tick the option and flash twrp, rom, etc.?

Hi, OEM unlock option in settings is just a switch that enables/disables the unlocking of the bootloader. You must first enable OEM unlock in settings and then proceed with the actual unlocking of the bootloader
Google puts a number of steps so you can't accidentally unlock your bootloader.
Enable developer mode
Enable OEM unlock
Unlock bootloader (using fastboot)

Can someone please make a rooting guide for a10e

Is there a way so i can make it into 64 bit I heard I had to do something with custom recovery
There isn't one. Our devices don't even have OEM Unlocking in their Developer settings. Samsung removed it entirely

Question SIM unlock vs bootloader unlock

I had a carrier locked AT&T 6 Pro. I paid the balance, got it carrier unlocked and switched to T-Mobile.
Can I now unlock the bootloader of an ex-AT&T device,? Or just SIM unlock does not help.

You should now see the option to unlock the bootloader: in Developer Options, the option is called "OEM Unlocking".
But AT&T (and TMO) sometimes make this process difficult (glitches in the system, policy changes etc).
Is the OEM unlocking option greyed out?

Yes, it was greyed out earlier, but not anymore.

If it's not grayed out, then you can enable it, which means you'll be able to unlock the bootloader. Note that unlocking the bootloader forces a full wipe of your device. Toggling OEM Unlocking (and USB Debugging) doesn't do anything on its own other than allow you to unlock the bootloader.
So you can toggle those things, get everything ready - make backups of what you want to keep on internal storage, etc, and then when you're ready, proceed with any of several How To Guides in this section for how to unlock the bootloader.
