I bought a xiomi redmi note 5 ai which contains a fake rom( 9.5.13.0.0 OEIMIFA). In developers option it shows me that my device is unlocked but in fastboot it is actually locked. I tried to unlock it but couldn't get succeed. I also tried xiaomitool, xiaomi flash, some adb and edl proccess but couldn't get any success. In forum I saw test point twice method for whyred but I couldn't active edl by doing this hardware functionality because my device is new and I am also a noob in those matter. My mi id also unauthorised. Is there any chance that I can flash Official China stable rom and get the official update??? I am so disappointed with this. Experts, please help me to flash official rom on note 5 ai. give e some solutions.
Yeah I wanna know about this topic too. Many sellers are sending unsealed products and bootloader saying unlocked.
I'm in this situation too! So sad
This is really weird....In dev options phone says "Unlocked" but when you reboot there is no "Unlocked" sign under Mi logo...WTF?????
You will need to give some more detailed information for people to help you. Go on the guides section, find one of the many bootloader unlock guides and follow it step by step: at which point does it not work, and what kind of error do you get?
You also mention your account not being authorized: if that is the case, then you absolutely need to get it authorized first, there's no way around that (short of finding someone with an authorized account to help you, I guess).
By the way, I would not focus too much on the fact that Developer options report the device as unlocked, if the ROM is unofficial, that is easy to fake. Whoever flashed the u unauthorized ROM must have then relocked the bootloader after flash.
this is why xiaomi has changed the way bootloader unlocks to prevent sellers from doing this.

To my knowledge, the new unlock policy just adds more time before unlock and makes it harder to use the same account for multiple unlocks. I would say it discourages sellers from doing this, but the more resourceful ones will keep doing what they always did, while us users have to endure the whole thing.
I got my redmi note 5 ai, it was already unlocked. can someone point out if it's good? In developer options says unlocked. I turned on usb debugging but OEM unlock is greyed out. Verity mode: true, device unlocked: true and device critical unlocked: true
My first R5+ came with an unlocked bootloader but the unlock process made it for the seller can corrupt eventually some partition or even unsuccesfull, they are not intend to unlock but change a chinese rom for a global and through the process device could get unlocked (time before, I guess not actually).
The most indisputable way without a doubt to know this is simply going to fastboot mode and typing
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
so fastboot reads at a low level directly in the right partition. There are some discussion on where is place this condition, some thinks that is in bootloader itself but others believe that it is in persist partition.
That's what I did. What do you think?

Thanks for the confirm. Still can't figure out how to turn on OEM unlock. Maybe cause I haven't done a mi account yet.

You mean unlock OEM in developer options? turn off USB debugging and then turn on again and now enable OEM unlock

If it is in a greyish, as unmarked so you can touch the toggle but is in positive OEM unlock? then don´t worry about that.
Just look at it before and after to do some update.

It is greyish yes, on negative as in off. I will try and make a mi account, see if it helps.
Do the Canadian variants of the S20 (ending with W) have an unlockable bootloader?
Can anyone with a Canadian device check if OEM Unlock is available in the Development Options?
The A505W does have an unlockable bootloader, so I was wondering..
Thanks!
Dream on, its locked. Every north american snapdragon samsung phone is locked, that a505w is an exynos so its unlocked.

I just upgraded from the s7edge which I went back to after not being able to root the s8, so I haven't really followed any of the phones after that, but will there be away to unlock the bootloader found eventually, or is this just the way it is ?

If it follows the same pattern of S8, S9, S9 and the Notes - then never.
You can always try and see if its unlockable by going into the Developer Options, check to see if OEM unlock is available. If it's there it may be unlockable.

Not to sound like a ****, but if the option was there I wouldn't be here. I just started reading into the last couple models that didn't have the oem unlock option under the developer options and I'm starting to think that the outlook isn't so good. I should have done a bit of research and maybe tried to get my carrier to grab me a phone from elsewhere and bring it in for me. Just happy I kept the s7 edge, give me something to play around with while I wait for whatever comes next I guess.
Is it possible to flash stock firmware from one of the variants that does have the oem unlock option to the phone ?

I am trying to root my phone but I can't get passed enabling the oem lock because it does show up in my developer settings. Is there a way I can root it without enabling that to open the bootloader. I'm very new at this so if anyone can help much appreciated.

If it's the U.S. variant, long story short is no.
Samsung has been hard locking bootloaders on U.S. variants for years now and you need to unlock bootloader (OEM Unlock) to flash custom binaries (Magisk/root).
It used to be that there was no way of unlocking bootloaders until recently, but it's a paid service
If you are really interested about unlocking your bootloader and you really want and/or need root, you can check this thread out: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/sampwnd-usa-model-bl-unlock-info-u-u1-w.4201689/
Hey guys,
So I got Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus but there is no OEM unlock option in my developer option settings.
I want to root and upgrade the phone and flash custom firmware. I can't do it until bootloader is unlocked.
I am currently on official latest Samsung firmware Android 11
Model - SM-G985F
CSC- OXM_INU
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

According to your device it shows oem unlock l. Which means locked. This device looks to have Knox guard mdm service. Looks to be leased. It is permanently locked until removed from Knox mdm server.

Ohh. Is there any way to solve this?
Will installing official firmwares in Sammobile through Odin help?

His isn't that issue. Look at his download mode info. Bootloader l. Which means locked. Any that can be unlocked display a u I believe. I had this issue on another device. It's all caused by Knox guard and buying subsidized device

Hey, did you solved it? bought SM-G986B with same problem - OEM on (L)
Hey brother have you solved that issue ? I've the same problem too, no OEM unlock option.
Hey,
It will depend on your baseband version if you have a snapdragon S20/S20+/S20U. See the thread below about how it can be done and what baseband/bootloader is required to unlock.
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...

Hello is there any way to unlock bootloader on U1 ? theres no oem unlock in options ( changing date doesnt work )
phone is from us ( XAA ) version.
any tool ? any guide ?
No US models can have the bootloader unlocked as of now, i think. Since the S7 it's been nearly impossible for U.S. models to unlock, the S8 was unlocked only since an engineer leaked some data.
So if you want to root your SOL, might need to get an international unlocked version.
S22 s901u snapdragon USA search for oem in settings and this shows up as a setting in developer options. Is there a way to enable or unhide this setting? Because my phone thinks that it is there or something...

You are not entirely correct. We have unlocked bootloader on us devices. But his s22 I'm sure is to far updated to be able to do anything.

Oem unlock does not exist on us devices. And if you have even had it update one time it is not possible to do

Oem unlocking must not be removed but hidden or disabled, because if it was removed it would not show up in search and then say it's under developer options. So you must be incorrect.
