I need a little help here, I am trying to unlock my bootloader , I have already able oem unlocking and install the proper driver. But everytime I try fastboot oem unlock , it just reply " failed : oem unlock is disabled " in CMD. Does anyone else have the same problem?
I had problems with an older version. I think you have to try to update your platform-tools (fastboot, adb). Good luck!
So , where can I get an updated version?
e.g. https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and there "SDK Tools Only"
I kinda have the same issue I have downloaded all the proper tools and drivers but whenever I try the fastboot oem Unlock command it comes back saying it's completed but my screen just stays on the fastboot logo and does nothing until I restart it this happens on my pc and my mac, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and at this point I'm very frustrated.

Enable OEM Unlocking in developers option. Check if this solves the issue.
So I updated adb and fastboot with the latest SDK tools , and I still get "OEM unlock is disable" in fastboot even thou I have clearly enable USB debugging and OEM unlocking. I really need another way around here, the stock rom which is a H2OS feels very bloated for me.
Did you enable "" OEM UNLOCK "" from developer options ?

Yes , I have stated that I enable OEM unlock many times, that is why I need help here.
You might want to disable the pattern lock and then try!
Nexus player won't unlock with fastboot OEM unlock command also won't wipe in stock recovery won't wipe with fastboot -w command really stuck and haven't found anyone that's run into this issue
did you boot a rom and enable developer options, then move the slider to allow OEM unlocking?

Forgot to mention it's bootlooping as well
I'm holding off twrp + bootloader unlock because I want to be able to undo in case I need to use my warranty. Is twrp/bootloader unlock reversible? Many thanks
Yes. Flash complete stock everything, boot into bootloader, connect to PC, and "fastboot oem lock".

Yup! I've done it plenty of times. You do need to format the data partition though. This could mean that it'll wipe out even your internal storage, so back that up as well!
Im on stock and then i go to edl and then i type fastboot oem lock but nothing happend

Boot into bootloader, not EDL.

and you can unlock it again afterwards?
Never heard of anyone wanting to lock the bootloader so I'd a newb in this kind of thing.

Locking it again is good for when you want to sell the device or send it in for warranty repair.

Yeah, the unlock procedure is the same as before. If you didn't restore the original boot image before the relock, then it's just a matter of booting into fastboot and unlocking the device. Note that this will cause your data to be wiped as well!
If you restore your boot.bin backup file from when your device was locked, does this lock the bootloader? "fastboot oem lock", "fastboot flashing lock" nor "fastboot oem device-info" does nothing for me. Is there any other way to check if your bootloader has been relocked?
Thanks

Hi there,
Were you ever able to re-lock your bootloader on your A2017G?
I just want root for now but understand that I'll need to unlock the bootloader first. Before doing that, I want to make sure I can re-lock the bootloader if needed.
Thanks for letting us know!

Guys/Gals, it is seriously as simple as using the fastboot command in reverse. I've done it a few times already with mine.
If you used the following to unlock....
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
.....then you can use the following commands to relock
fastboot devices
fastboot oem lock
fastboot devices is not necessary, but I do it to make sure the devices is being recognized by ADB/FASTBOOT

Thanks for the answer.
But there are a few files to flash before using that command according to this thread.
Doesn't anything need to be flashed again (e. g. stock files or anything)?
Correct, but you would have already flashed those in order to use the unlock command in the first place.
Are you trying to relock on marshmallow or nougat?

My phone is only a few days old. I'm debating whether to keep it or not (considering the Mate 9, but the price is not the same - love the form factor and bigger screen though - sound won't be the same and I think I'll miss the MiPop button on the Axon (never thought that would happen )).
I'm on the latest MM (B10 - the A2017G model).
Following the mentioned thread, I got to the point of installing TWRP (the signed version), only to realize that besides making backups, there is not much else I can do with that without unlocking the bootloader. I really just wanted to flash supersu and install adaway fro the time being until development matured for this phone (maybe also play around with viper - had great results on my LG G4).
HI, I get the error "FAILED (remote: unknown command)" in ADB when I enter "fastboot oem lock". Any way to fix this?
Guys, can anyone help me? I really need to lock the bootloader!
How can I fix the error "FAILED (remote: unknown command)" in ADB when I enter "fastboot oem lock"?
I'm on MM B11 Stock.

Hi Guys,
The Axon 7 Model A2017U I just purchased has the bootloader locked and it is running LineageOS 14.1 - 2018032-Nightly-axon7. I need to relock the bootloader and get back to the stock MiFavor rom so that I can send the phone to ZTE for repair. Can you please explain to a newb in some detail how to achieve that.
Thank you.
I just reflash my Mi A1 to latest build android P V10.0.17.0. But I relized I could still unlock boot loader though I didn't enable OEM unlocking in Development option, I just boot to fastboot mode and type fastboot oem unlock and it alway OK. I also turn on Find device or set passcode.

hmm... maybe a factory reset would work but if you want to relock your bootloader I strongly suggest backing up app data using TWRP.
Yes, I already backup data. But I don't know why it can be unlocked while not allowed.
Hi everyone,
Today I tried unlocking the bootloader on my Lenovo Z6 Pro to root my phone but I've hit a dead end.
I've enabled OEM unlocking and USB debugging on the developer options before using "adb reboot bootloader". I managed to get to bootloader mode alright, but neither "fastboot flashing unlock" nor "fastboot oem unlock-go" works; I always get "remote: flashing unlock is not allowed" or "remote: oem unlock is not allowed".
This makes it seem like I didn't enable OEM unlocking before, but I made sure it was enabled. Any ideas how I might solve this?
Hi,
First you have to get the sn.img file for unlocking your bootloader from the zui website. Reboot to bootloader, first flash the img file and then enter the command for unlocking. As far as I have tried, you have to use this image file every time you need to unlock the bootloader(if you have locked it)
Good luck

Thanks for the reply. I gave up rooting my device for a while but I got tired of my phone bugging all the time so decided to give it another shot. This time I have another problem and it's driving me crazy: ADB wouldn't detect my phone when it's connected so I still can't unlock my bootloader. I tried installing every driver I could find but nothing works, but I can transfer files through explorer just fine. It occured to me that the USB might be the problem but it's the exact same one I used the last time I tried rooting it and I didn't have this problem back then.
