As topic says I need info if Root on G7 takes off sim-lock on 5.1.1 android???
No, the simlock remains even after rooting, you will still need a NUC from your carrier to unlock.

I have the Samsung Focus and have Unlocked it with Chevron Unlock Tool. I already updated to the latest firmware version, the one with copy and paste and it seems that the Chevron Unlock is still intact as I can still sideload apps.
I want to reset the phone to wipe all my personal info since I'm going to sell the phone, so:
1) would resetting it wipe the Chevron unlock even though I've installed the Samsung tool that prevents relocking?
2) Would I still be able to use the Chevron Unlock with the latest firmware on the Focus? (in case the next buyer wants a Chevron Unlocked phone)
TIA.
If you do the format reset then yes the phone will be relocked. It will be in the same state as it was when it was new in the box.
Chevron is just "Dev" unlocking the phone, allowing code to be installed and run that is NOT signed and vetted etc... for marketplace.
It isnt a true "Jailbreak". All you are doing is installing a cert and then Dev unlocking the device so a reset clears all those settings.
The latest OS upgrade will NOT chevron unlock. You can reset, unlock and then update via the official AT&T updater with zune and it all works and stays unlocked. I have done this to 7390

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So you mean since I already updated to the latest firmware, Chevron unlock would no longer work?
You are using the term "Firmware" and I am referring to the NODO update. So if you are at 7390 then no chevron doesnt work.
I did the official AT&T update and was able to use the backup it made to revert to the original OS, chevron unlock then NODO update and am still unlocked.
If you want to make the phone "unlockable" for the next user,
I would use the Zune backup to revert to 7008, if that's still possible, and from there, do the "reset"
This would remove the unlock, but the new owner of the phone could unlock again in this state.
If your backup doesn't restore the phone to 7008, but 7390, there is currently nothing you can do to "reset" the phone and make it unlockable
Hello guys. Ihave some questions about my Huawei P8 Lite:
1)Lock bootloader: I've read that if i give command
HTML:
fastboot OEM relock
the bootloader ststus is "relocked" is this true? If yes, how can i make it "locked"?
2)I 'd like to give the phone to an assistance center to fix the WiFi problems (WiFi and hotspot don't work) but i have some issues: the bootloader is unlocked but i haven't do it, i've used kingroot that unlocked it so i don't have the code for relocking (but i can still obtain it)... Even if the bootloader is unlocked, it gives error when flashing every file (recovery, etc...) so i don't think is unlocked
So... if i give the phone to assistance center, will they accept it even if is unlocked?
Should i relock the bootloader?
How much will it cost?
I 'd like to use the door-to-door service (I haven't used this yet)
How to make bootloader status "locked" and not "relocked"?
Thanx for replyes :fingers-crossed:
Hello,
I unlocked my bootloader with an unlock code obtain from Huawei.
I want to relock it now to install ota updates and rid myself of the boot warning screen.
Huawei no longer provide the codes and I can find mine. I've contacted them but they say the cannot provide it.
Is there any other way to relock it?
Thanks.
Reinstall with service ROM. It makes it "locked", instead of "relocked" and it doesn't matter if the phone is unlocked or not.
Thanks,
Service rom? Is that an official rom?
It's OK I found it. Didn't really want to wipe everything but need must I suppose.
Thanks.
You can obtain unlock code via HCU Client or DC Unlocker but this is a PAID service (3-4 EURO).
If you want to relock the phone just install Service ROMs and your phone will be as a factory new ;p
When I started up this phone I found an app called MTKLOGGER which is logging all my actions on my phone.
I tried to root the phone to delete the logging app but found out that the bootloader can't be unlocked. When I got to the service page, it says: bootloader unlock allowed: no
I don't want a phone that logs everything I do, but I don't know what I can do about this. Is there a way to delete that app? Is there a way to root the phone without unlocking the bootloader? Would there be a way to change to a completely new operating system (or rom, whatever they're called)?
Hi all. I have been searching high and low for information on this specific question:
Will activating an unlocked Pixel 3a on Verizon disable the OEM Unlock and bootloader unlock capability?
I got a Verizon variant before I realized that there was not way to unlock the bootloader. Bummer. So, I returned it for an Unlocked version from Google, which I just received tonight. I breezed through the setup (without the SIM card) and noticed that OEM Unlock was disabled stating I needed to connect to the internet. So, I enabled WiFi and the OEM Unlock was then available. It would seem that I an now able to follow the unlocking procedure.
My goal is to unlock the bootloader and root, but do I have to do it immediately? My concern is that activating the phone with my Verizon SIM could:
1) Prevent unlocking the bootloader in the future if I don't unlock it before I activate with SIM (research seems to indicate that factory resets will undo disabling OEM Unlock if this can happen if I understand correctly)
2) Re-lock an unlocked bootloader - maybe this is not even possible?
I don't want to mess this up. All the info I am finding are discussions related to trying to unlock a Verizon variant and I cannot find good info on what happens to bootloader unlocking options on unlocked phones that are activated on Verizon. The only reason I may want to delay this process is because I dont have a lot of time at the moment and would rather not rush the bootloader unlock and root process. However, my HTC 10 is in bad shape and need a phone to get through the holidays. I was hoping that I could activate it on Verizon now, use it with its locked bootloader for a few weeks, and when things cool down after the holidays, implement the bootloader unlock and root.
If that is not advisable, what about unlocking the bootloader immediately (doesn't seem too hard and I have used ADB before), and activating without root. Then root later? Any possibility of concern #2?
Can OTA's re-lock a bootloader and prevent future unlocking?
I appreciate anyone's incite, experience, or links to the needed information for clearing this up. Thanks you!
I would advise you to unlock the bootloader asap. If you wait it will be a pain later because unlocking causes loss of data. If you don't care about that, wait as long as you like.
As far as Verizon is concerned, if the phone is unlocked, I don't see how they could possibly lock the bootloader. They may restrict your services but they can't touch the lock status of a device you purchased.
