My Nokia 5 has the same OEM-Unlock developer option as my Nexus 5x.
Never had such a barebones android device, nearly boring
Bootloader becomes unlockable through an option on developer settings, and the pure android approach will help developers
If my bootloader is unlocked, how and where can I get eg. TWRP Recovery for my Nokia 5?
You will have to wait until there is an un/official TWRP released. Which you will surely find here first.

On the Nokia 6 the OEM bootloader unlock button doesn't really work. The bootloader is not really unlocked.
There's also no bootloader unlock in the Nokia 3. < That guy got his XDA account suspended for posting spam crap instead of real stuff.
Probably same with the Nokia 5. Nokia has locked the bootloader down on all of this year's Androids unless anyone can prove otherwise.
If you arrow up out of those topics to the broader Nokia 6, and Nokia 3 Android forums, you will see there's no bootloader unlock, no TWRP recovery, no ROMs, not even any real root.
Remember, if it's not here on XDA it's not real. It will be here first. There's tons of scam/malware websites that will urge you to download crap and promise bootloader unlock and UNICORNS, but don't do it.
EDIT: for the Nokia 6, two days ago someone has CLAIMED to be able to root and install TWRP bypassing the LOCKED DOWN bootloader. It seems complicated and it's not been verified yet as of this date.

i have ported TWRP for Nokia 6, not sure does it work or not as i do not own this particular device
edit: i wouldn't try that TWRP installation method as it says "brush brush method" what ever that even is!? atleast not before someone can actually confirm it works
IIRC someone have a Nokia 6 Chinese using global rom. They flash them in edl mode. So can we use that to bypass the bootloader?
This is the reply that I got from Nokia Care... Conclusion - they don't have a clue.

I was really keen on buying it, and if the phone is not rootable then there is no point in buying it.
hope NOKIA team is reading this and they realize the importance of having an unlockable bootloader.

Because "Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is that your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting. ", I feel this needs it's own thread instead of this one oem-unlock-bootloader-preserving-drm, which was originally discussing DRM warranty.
I want to discuss if it is possible and how it would be done. It is not yet listed on Sony's webpage with phone and other devices which support unlock bootloader. I will try to root and unlock bootloader this weekend, I will try using the same method as for z3c.
i'm on a weekend trip and will try to root my z5c on sunday evening or monday. a smartphone without adaway, titanium backup etc. is crap.
feedback about your success would be nice.

I need some help with this one. I was able to to do oem unlock but my phone reset when I started it again.
I am also tempted to flash the recovery with ClockWorkMod for Z3C but not without a way to revert it. Anyone got any ideas for how to do that?

I don't know if you can do this in Xperias. But in Nexus devices you can boot (without flash) a recovery.
For instance:
fastboot boot Clockworkmod.img
However, I would just wait for an official custom recovery for the Z5C.

how did you get the oem code, since the device isn't listed on sony dev bootloader unlock side yet
Sony now lists the Z5 (not compact, but should apply the same way) on their unlocking

As an FYI
Sony now lists the Z5 (not compact, but should apply the same way) on their unlocking site:
"To be able to unlock your Xperia Z5, prepare it by following these steps:
1.Go into Settings > About phone and tap seven times on Build number to enable developer options.
2.From Settings, go into Developer options and enable OEM unlocking"
So it looks like this is all that´s required, no more code requesting process like on previous devices. However, nothing specific mentioned on the DRM aspect.. I have checked the option, still had "myXperia" enabled and all was good. Also, have not seen a difference in Camera quality, but would not bet on it...
but did you root your z5c?

I just followed the guide for z3c, it accepted my IMEI. But as already stated, you can now unlock OEM for all z5 models. Here is the link: http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/. I don't know if it worked because when I started my phone again, it rested to it's original state and I had restore from a backup.

I want to try this but as you said, I need a recovery ROM first.
I'm still new to the whole Sony Xperia world, please correct me if I am wrong but would not this be the place to look for ROMs? http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/supported_phones/
These are just the methods to enter the flash mode
Guys help please. When I check in service menu there is ,,bootloader unlockable: NO''
I need to have root. If I use this guide ( http://unlock-bootloader.net/how-to/unlock-bootloader-sony-xperia-z5-compact/ ) it will unlock bootloader? Also, there is NO in service menu but I have code from sony to unlock from their website/email. Help?

If it says bootloader unlock allowed: NO there is absolutely nothing you can do to change it to bootloader unlock allowed:YES it's impossible. Only way is to change your z5 for another one that says bootloader unlock allowed: YES
Having a unlock code from sony won't make any difference either

Possibly but I don't see why anybody would want to do that, because you wouldn't be able to run TWRP, flash a different kernel or anything really.

If you have an european device you can unlock bootloader officially:
http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryTypeCode=ANRS
Follow the steps on this site. But it only works with H815. Other devices are not supported.
Asking myself what LG is thinking to go this courious way.

No. aboot is signed and so the sbl and/or trust zone verify will reject loading a modified aboot.

Hi guys, you've been quoted because you are part of this thread most active or recent members.
I just wanted to revive some of the most active threads for the H525n because it seems that @pvineeth97 managed to unlock the bootloader of the H525n and he built TWRP for us.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/unofficial-twrp-3-1-1-lg-g4c-t3613824
He wrote that he would post the bootloader unlock method in a few days (he did it successfully by patching the aboot for other LG devices recently).
So let's have a good community to welcome that news !!!

Dont compare LG G4c with LG G4. G4 has a different processor. G4c has Snapdragon 410. The patched aboot method works with Snapdragon 410.

Perhaps because the cost has become excessive? Or maybe because there is no more reason to do modding? There are no more a rom like CyanogenMod

If it's greyed out, then u have to do a factory reset. However, it still wont unlock it.

There was a brief period of time where a bunch of us got our VZW Pixel 2's bootloaders unlocked, the mega thread is here https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/help/maybe-stupid-question-verizon-pixel-2s-t3726294/post74983838#post74983838, but from what I've read the firmware was patched in February that closed this window/loophole. Also carrier unlocked != bootloader unlocked, it just means you can use it on any carrier's network. Has nothing to do with OEM Unlock in Developer Options. Hope that helps.
With the new update a i make a new recovery flasher option for devices with project treble. Test it and told me if it works
So. New here
I have a Lgv20 ls99720a v8.0
I am looking for rooting my phone and it looks like there is no hope. No root for this phone anymore...
Noooooo. :crying::crying::crying:
Again I am new here so sorry if that question was posted it before.

There's not going to be root for the 997 because of sprint locking it down and incrementing arb. The phone is well over two years old so the majority of devs moved on to other platforms long ago and none of the few remaining devs are working on root.

Yeah I understand, but there's lot of people here with the same phone and I'm sure there's a way, maybe with LGUP and UPPERCUT going down to a lower release or using another KDZ from another model very close to it, I'm sure there's something to do instead of trowing it in a garbage can. There a dev here loves challenges and some of them are working on older phone...
Please??? I give 15 US$ by Paypal if someone succeded!!!

You can't downgrade to root because as I stated arb was incremented if you do you'll blow a fuse and be bricked. Also no one is working on root, it's been discussed numerous times on this forum

I don't know what ARB is and when I try the hidden menu, the only thing I got is 4 useless options. If it's not a hardware problem, I'm sure there's one hope somewhere?? If it's hardware, the only way is to put on gargabe can... What Sprint did to brick this phone like this!???
Quick question about the same phone. This phone came from an estate sell, so I did a factory reset. The reset version is Android 8 Security patch July 1 2018. I'm not using it as a phone (no SIM card), but just for Android Auto as media player/GPS.
From what I'm reading, it can't be rooted?
Can the bootloader be unlocked/changed using dirty santa so I can install TWRP, then Lineage 17.1?
There is so much conflicting info on this V20 version.

No, that version of the phone is completely locked down. The only thing you can do on it is factory reset and absolutely nothing else, not even flashing firmware (because that will permanently brick it). If you really want more details on why, you can check my write-up over here (look at most of the bold parts).

Thanks,that is what I feared.
I bought a 2020 Tacoma. The stereo sucks. If you use a USB drive with with thousands of audio files as the source, when you select artist from the menu, it will start at "A" and start playing. Takes forever to find the artist/song . And Toyota decided to pull GPS. You have to download Entune to the stereo, which seems to be incompatible with the 2020. They just threw their hands up and figured everyone will want to use their phone (I don't).
So I bought this phone for $20 so I can leave it the truck at all times to run VLC and Google Maps. Looks like Sprint and Toyota bent us over again.
