Apparently there is an Axon M engineering sample with an unlocked bootloader being listed on ebay. I was wondering if this might be useful in researching unlocking the bootloader or some other useful endeavor.

I've bought it now thanks for the link! Once it arrives I'll see if I can dump it and experiment with my retail unit. Whatever findings I'll post here on xda.
Awesome, looking forward to any new info
It is SIM unlocked. No bootloader unlocked.

That's a damn shame, especially when the seller explicitly stated it was bootloader unlocked
Hopefully your return went smoothly.

Hey, well basicly I've just brought an Xperia Play. I had to ring up Orange UK after I brought it, I was told it was a generic network unlocked phone so I was thinking oh great I can actually get the bootloader unlocked easy! but it turned out it was actualy locked to Orange UK (Brought the phone on Ebay was meant to be unlocked) but I went into the service menu & bootloader unlock wasn't allowed, I've seen SeTool is a great tool for unlocking Sim-locked devices, but from what I've seen with buying the credits & the program it's pretty expensive, is there any other way of unlocking the bootloader? I can't boot into fastboot with the blue LED I've tried the official way too unlock, I've tried flashing generic firmware using FlashTool non of that has worked. Can anyone help me out what so ever? Thanks Jay.

Contact this guy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232050 He unlocked mine remotely (and many other's); it's costs around £15 and takes about 15 minutes. Make sure you have a paper clip handy and do a bit of research before hand (download the apps needed etc)
Thanks for the reply man! Anwser I've been looking for, I'll definatly concider that. Sounds a good real good deal.

Yea it all worked fine for me, hence why I'm happy to recommend that guy. The method he uses is remotely running SETool via networked USB drivers, so if you've already looked into that you'll understand why it's around £15 (he has to buy the credits)

does fantastic work. same stuff. now the fota is fixed too so you may do updates OTA with your bootloader unlocked. OTA used to brick the play and arc when their bootloaders were unlocked, since been fixed and Alejandrissimo applied the fix for free, as i had just unlocked my second SE device a few days before this fix. lol

hello,,
Rooting status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes

Than you.

No. It depends where the phone comes from. If it's from a carrier, it is probably with a locked bootloader. If you buy it from lets say amazon at full price which the phone is already SIM unlocked, it will probably be with a unlockable BL.

I also went to my Sony store and they only had the one branded by Rogers so I guess you better make sure its factory before you purchase it becoz at the moment, theres no way to unlock a BL that is set to NO. ....But maybe someone will come up with an exploit in the near future.
I have searched everywhere where the answer is "No. Moto G5 Amazon Variant cannot be unlocked". Unless I checked myself. And BOOM!!! The unlock code is on my email. Will see tmrw if we can unlock the bootloader. Need to search for a method to root then.
But I guess, I will do that when Oreo gets released for G5 . Cheers.
Don't update the phones software via OTA when official Oreo is launched whilst bootloader is unlocked. I'm sure this bricks the phone?
How did you get the website to accept your (Amazon) "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" string?
When I enter it on the Motorola custhelp.com site, it tells me my bootloader is ineligible for unlocking.
Note that I have both an Amazon G5 Plus and a non-Amazon G4 Plus in case I need to do something with the non-Amazon phone first.

I just checked apparently my phone is the 2pw2100 021-A ...I know you could root it with 7.0.. but I updated as soon as I got the phone ...is there a way to root it still ?
i believe that means its oem locked to verizon, you would need to contact them about unlocking it but im not sure if verizon will, im in the UK but from what i hear verizon wont help much

You bought a Verizon variant. With Verizon models you can't check "oem unlock" so you can't unlock the bootloader. You are stuck with a locked phone. No root.

Maybe, the people on this thread: Verizon Pixel Bootloader unlocked? by EstiR86
Had their Verizon Pixel/Pixel XL unlocked by Smail. You can also reach him via ebay: item 222913601503
thats the best, and only bet. good luck.
I've read here that the bootloader is locked on T-Mobile's OP7T, are we screwed when it comes to rooting? Doing a search for HD1907, I hardly see anything related to rooting it successfully. Has anyone done it yet? Is there hope for us HD1907s?
Thanks!

You can request a sim unlock from mobbdeep and you'd be able to unlock your bootloader once you sim unlock your phone. Then you can proceed to convert to international if you please.
Edit: it's a week wait period just like previous tmo OnePlus devices we should know this.

MobbDeep has unlocked my SIM, but how does that affect the bootloader? Is there a bootloader unlock app that I can get from T-Mo?

Bootloader unlock is in the developer options section of settings. you have to get the unlock token and submit it to OnePlus for your unlock bin. Once the unlock bin is flashed you're bootloader unlocked.

Know of any disadvantages to switching to the US Global version of the OS? Seems like those are being updated faster than the T-Mobile versions.
I'm planning on writing up some documentation about the conversion process once I get my unlock code (should be here tomorrow which means it might take me a few days to mess with it and get it all nice and neat)

How did you get an ETA for the unlock token? I submitted it but never received an email stating that they got my request.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app

You don't. It takes exactly 7 days from when you submitted it. You can check back on the site you submitted the request on and you'll see when it's done, and you can then download it from there. Pestering OnePlus or T-Mobile does nothing, you won't get it any faster.
