Is it possible to unlock flipout from this website ? https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b
Also is there any custom rom for it ?
No, the Unlock My Device program at the moment supports only one new device, the Photon Q 4G LTE.
I really hope that the masterminds at Motorola will soon add many more devices, especially older ones like the Flipout. Many of these devices are out of warranty by now anyway.
As for custom ROMs, there are none. Unfortunately the Flipout was not very popular with the modders. However, with an unlocked bootloader this could change.
So... how does one 'SIM unlock' this phone?
Do I understand right, that it needs to be rooted first?
Do I need to also CID unlock it, or is that only needed for flashing a custom ROM?

Only way for BF/Charm is by code, does not require root. Check ebay: search for "unlock mb511" or "unlock mb502" - fairly cheap these days,
Actually, bootloader unlock and carrier/sim unlock are two different things, so we're rather off-topic here.
I'm sure Moto has no interest in unlocking bootloaders of phones they've already sold, so in response to the OP I should say, "No; absolutely not; not ever."
Hello everyone.
Yesterday I bought my Z1 factory unlock SIM in a store. The box with the phone was perfectly sealed. Anyway, the first thing I wanted to do is unlok the bootloader. When I try, I realize that getting into the mobile me menu appears bootloader unlock allowed: No.
I have contacted Sony and they say I need the SIMlock (number of unlock) and of course this does not have it and the operator said that neither does.
This may be so, or have cheated me in the store and sold me a mobile unlok for them?
What I can do? No way to get the number SIMlock?
Thank you.
Greetings.
PD. Sorry my bad English.
I think you getting confused. SIMlock have nothing to do with Bootloader.
SIMlock is a SIMlock from you provider, that means if you brought you phone from Vodafone, you can use Vodafone Sim only from them on your phone. But like I can see is not your case because, like you said, your phone is SIM Unlocked, that's mean unbranded.
Bootloader is that part of you device which allow you to flash your phone or root it. In your case if there is Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO, that mean you can't unlock you bootloader. There is no way to unlock it. And you should search on XDA first.

What you can do with Locked Bootloader;
Root your phone, Flash Custom or Stock Roms, Flash Stock Kernels.
What you can't:
Flash Custom Kernels.

This is kind of an off-topic, but how did you contact Sony? Email?
I'm also having a bootloader-lock issue similar to yours, but my phone is actually SIM-locked and I need to know how to proceed with my operator to be able to unlock it.

Hello, thank you very much for responding.
The concepts have very clear, I come from a Xperia Z I bought right out. I had understood that to unlock the bootloader has to be mobile factory unlock or unlock if you have the attendant need to contact Sony to enable you to unlock the bootloader.
That condition must be met in order to unlock the bootloader with the traditional system?
Like I said it quite well how this works, I've had HTC's. The problem is that without the bootloader unlock AOSP I forget which I love. :silly::silly::laugh:

SIM unlock?
I had SIM lock...that's not problem.
Just check could your phone be SIM unlocked and if yes - order SIM unlock number from Internet.
There's million web pages and you'll receive your code in a day or two.

Sorry to say but if your Bootloader Unlocking Allowed saying NO you can't unlock you bootloader, So no AOSP, CM11 or PACMAN.
Read the part 2. Link: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
I come from HTC too but is not the same with Sony, they made this more complicated.

The thing is: people are reporting that this "bootloader unlocking allowed: no" is done by the operator/carrier, in my case, Vodafone and they have means to change the "status" in order for it to be enabled. I've read reports of other xperia users saying that through the official support channels it's possible to send the phone to Sony with the SIM-unlock code and they'll unlock everything.
Also, in Portugal theres a new law implemented in 2010 that goes like this:
You can always unlock your device from the operator: if you're on a contract, you have to pay the remaining months entirely. If your device is at least 2 years old, you don't pay anything.
If you're not on a contract, you pay the difference of the unlocked-version price with the price you paid for locked-version device - say, I paid 250€ for my locked Xperia L, the unlocked xperia L at the time I bought mine costed like 279€, i'd have to pay 279-250 = 29€ to unlock my device.
Also with this law, there's a National Communications Authority (ANACOM) which controls everything related to communications in Portugal, I'm going to contact them and report this "double lock" that's being applied by Vodafone, because I'm pretty sure that, if I unlock my phone, they're forced by law to remove every restriction on it.
I don't lose anything on trying to fight back with everything I got so... that's what I'll do.

This is something what clarified the situation. So this Lock on bootloader is done by the operator and there is a Double Lock on the phone Z1, SIM-Lock and Bootloader Lock.
And both can be unlocked?
But what have SIM-unlock code to do with Bootloader?

That's what I'm not sure. The SIM-lock is the basic thing the operators do in order to prevent users from switching to another one, but now they also apply the bootloader-lock in order to prevent users from installing modified-unnoficial software.
Sony might request the SIM-unlock code in order to "prove" that the phone has been released, thats my best guess. I don't really know if it is somehow related to the bootloader-unlock. But since it is a restriction applied by the operator, once I request it to be unlocked, I literally asking for the full access to the device... which can only be obtained by unlocking the SIM and unlocking the bootloader

It has nothing to do with the bootloader unlock!!!
I bought my first Z1 phone (i've got it replaced under warranty) branded and sim-locked, but the bootloader was ALLOWED to unlock.
So - i think sim-locking and not allowing the bootloader to be unlocked, are two DIFFERENT things.
p.s. - however, i think it's worth trying that request in Portugal law. There's nothing to lose.

This is what I thought.
So what conditions have to have a phone to bootloader unlock allowed: YES?
What a difference one bootloader unlock allowed: YES and another bootloader unlock allowed: NO??

Bootloader Unlocked: You can flash Custom Kernels, Bootloader Locked: You can't flash Custom Kernels, Stock Only but you can flash Custom Roms and be rooted.
Well. I gonna tell you what i did in spain. I got a Phone from movistar with the status to unlock bootloader set to "no". I ask to my provider for the sim-unlock code and I got it. I sended to sony an email "[email protected]" requesting to change this status. To certified that my phone is free i add the sim-unlock code, my imei, phone number and device model. After a week or two they answered to me with this:
In connection with an inquiry number 1-9......., we inform you that we will proceed to pick up your phone for the release of the bootloader of your phone.
For this we need you to contact us by phone to ask for the information needed to program the day of collection of the terminal.
Our phone hours are: 902 180 576 Monday to Friday, 9 to 19:30 hours uninterrupted.
Once you receive your terminal you will be able to unlock the Bootloader and make the process of "unlock" the bootloader, this operation could void the terminal as shown in the web http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com
My case
In my case, I'm survieving with a HTC Wildfire S because Sony has taken my Z1 to change from "NO" to "YES".
Mine was from Vodafone and after SIM-Unlocking I realized I can't unlock bootloader. I contacted Sony in Spain and they asked my about my IMEI and NCK code (SIM Unlocking code).
A week later they called me saying that they would pick my Z1 to "unlock" it and 3 days ago they pick it up.
I miss my Z1.
Regards,
Urko

Yes, what happens once I unlock it clear and I did with my old Xperia Z.
What is not clear is I have the phone in order to unlock the bootloader or not based.
I hope you succeed in getting an allowed bootloader-unlocking phone.
However, i'm curious if Sony will return you such a device, with the same IMEI as you originally had. Please keep us informed about that.

I hope not to have to send it to Sony. If I can not solve this surely return the phone and buy it somewhere else.
Yet if I make the process of sending you the story.
autoprime> never knew it existed until u mentioned it 5 min ago
<Zenn> this is interesting will post on XDA
<autoprime> get on xda and figure it out with a few others
<autoprime> but even with device id .. ur not gonna get an unlock.bin from lg
this was found on accident lol anyway for those who is interested this is H815 SEA ASEALB, apparently there is a OEM Unlocked over in Developer Setting. but it is password protected.
Version as Followed.
Android 6.0
Build Number : MRA58K
Software Version v20a-SEA-xx
rebooting to bootloader states to unlock via OEM Lock.
picture are as followed.
maybe we can try cracking it with bruteforce?
Probably but why would they want to protect OEM Unlock for ? unless the site is capable of unlocking since the oem unlock is preventing us from getting device id. after all there was a internal testing done for sea related device till the loophole was discover, as much as I hope, either way I hope either lg release the official lock or one day an unofficial ones comes out. cant wait to test cm on this baby.
@xrad @autoprime @jcase @IllegalArgument
We have the same setting in LS991's developer's settings which you can toggle with just your lock screen password. There's no purpose for it because there's no bootloader unlock, sadly.
the internet has failed, request mod to close the thread.
All lg g4 devices have oem unlock
THREAD CLOSED on owners request
As title, is any up to date guide on how to unlock bootloader?
The only guide found here points to dead links.

Unfortunately, you can't unlock it anymore. We need to wait for Huawei to change its mind (unlikely) or our developers to come up with an idea how to unlock it.
Both options require waiting...
Any news?
you may try with DC unlocker, which will fund 4€ for an bootloader unlock code. then you may follow th usual unlock procedure via ADB
Hello dears,
I've been looking for a new P10 plus, but I won't buy it if there is no option for bootoader unlocking.
I've been accross this one:
Code:
http:--huaweiadvices.com/unlock-bootloader-huawei-p10
,
where it mentions this one:
Code:
http:--hwid5.vmall.com/CAS/portal/userRegister/regbyemail.html
Is there anyone with any experience on this?
Do you know if the Xiaomi's are unlocked?
Well, I did pay a visit to hwid5.vmall.com, no unlock codes provided there.
Do you think it will work from hardreset24.com/instruction/how-to-get-password-for-unlocking-bootloader-in-huawei-p9-plus-only-by-imei or from global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below or dc-unlocker.com?
After the unlock code is inserted, can we flash any ROM, firmware, kernels, etc? Does it stay unlocked?
I did unlock VKY-L29 using this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/how-to/unlock-bootloader-code-t3859685
It's not oneclick job and took me several evenings to unlock, but it's free and it works. The problem is that you need to get a unique slock file and then again you'll need edit nvme file (or gently ask someone who understands). There are very nice support if you're not pushing them to do magic for you.
All in all, i have unlocked device for several months and now i use OpenKirin Pie.
Thank you for taking the time to answer.
I'll give it a shot when it comes!
Hi all unfortunately i recently came to know about Huawei sacking the request for unlocking codes in June 2018. I tried an email request to get an unlock code but they denied(their reply in attachment) saying about costumer support and other support related stuff(like they provide any in Pakistan ).
So basically my question is how would i root my Mate 10 Lite and have a custom rom on it. I tried unlocking through dc unlocker by buying some credits but the payment method isnt supported in here(Pakistan). So how can i do one of the following?
1. Unlock a bootloader that is free or supported in Pakistan(paid)
2. Root or flash a custom rom without unlocking bootloader.

Pakistan, eh? Me too. Go to the nearest service center and and demand your unlock code. Of Nothing then use your credit card to buy credit for DC Phoenix. Also, Don't expect a bunch of ROMs.

if you are still feeling unlucky just like i did a few hours ago. I came across this guy (a paid service) to get my bootloader unlock after so many attempts and desperate searches.
his website is ministryofsolutions.com he is a pakistani guy and totally legit. He charges Rs. 560 via jazzcash and gave me my bootloader unlock via teamviewer i just unlocked it and rooted and custom romed it.
FINALLY !!!
