So far it seems the canadian versions bootloader isn't unlockable

Thanks for the reply. Do we know if anyone is actively working on the issue?

Not that I'm aware of. I just purchased this phone from Freedom Mobile and found out myself. I've tried to contact Sony on there forums and twitter to try to find out why only the canadian versions of the g3223 are bootloader locked, but haven't heard anything yet. There is however a working unlock for the other versions as well as a slimmed down rom, root, and twrp. Hopefully they will unlock it with the Oreo update or release a patch, but I'm not holding my breathe atm.

unlocking bootloader on Verizon pixel xl on 7.1

Hi,
I recently good a good deal on a Verizon pixel XL and to my pleasant surprise it is still on 7.1 and I don't think it's ever been updated. I've read that in this case I can still go ahead and unlock the bootloader which essentially means that my phone is as good as the Google edition. So could someone please point me to some guide or list the steps on how I can go ahead and achieve this.
Thanks in advance!

use this site. http://theroot.ninja/depixel8.html
Forgive the late response/question but I have read several conflicting statement regarding Verizon and it's version of android being bootloader unlockable...My understanding is that android 7.0 is unlockable. I have read that 7.1 is unlockable in some places and not unlockable in others. Version 7.1.2 is absolutely NOT unlockable.
So, Is version 7.1 (don't know if that's the same as 7.1.0 or 7.1.1 or however it might read) unlockable with the depixel8 work around?
Looking at buying a pixel 1 XL still on 7.1 so I don't know if I should go for it or not....
Thanks!

Yes 7.1 is unlockable while anything past 7.1 isn't.

Moto z play back to stock with retail rom is possible?

Hello,
I'm considering going back to the stock ROM in my moto z play XT1635-02 retla1st but I would like to know if I would have a problem installing the RETAIL version when receiving OTA's or some other problem.
I currently have the bootloader unlocked and a compilation that is not the official one but I want to remove the root and receive the updates without any inconvenience.
best regards

I do not know if you can downgrade from a 7.1 ROM to a 6.x Stock via RSD and have your phone usable. With some phones if you downgrade to MM you brick it.
If it survives, you would then need to find a way to lock the bootloader.
In the same Android versión it's possible install a retail ROM?

I believe if your phone (bootloaders) is 7.x you can RSD 7.x and if phone is 6.x you can RSD 6.x .

I used this guide today, it worked without any problems. I went from rooted 7.1.1 stock september security patch to 7.1.1 stock november security patch with locked bootloader. OTA december security patch worked as well. I even unlocked the bootloader again and am now rooted with magisk safety net passing

Huawei unlock Codes

Hello, here are many peoples they have more ideas as i.
What do you think, i have write to huawei that they give me an bootloader unlock code.
Why?! The Google Problem what Huawei have now.
They cant give all peoples a waranty for security patches for future. I cant use Anti Virus Software why i dont have root. I need root to save my phone.
Huawei have say that they give us a update for Huawei P20 but now nothing.
With Root we can make our Phone safe self.
What do you think. will Huawei give use Bootloader unlock codes back again ?!
I think no.
i had the same idea i bought my phone on last saturday. And now i try to unlock it to install lineage...
by the way, none will buy a huawai if they cannot use facebook, whatsapp e.g. in the future so give out unlock codes will still open the market for some of us.
Huawei is reportedly working on a new OS that supports Android apps/apks, which means it's probably based on Linux. The US ban shouldn't affect existing phones, you will still receive a few security updates, but no major Android version system updates. With root you could flash custom roms that are updated frequently with security patches. So I'll have to agree, as root opens up so many possibilities. Cheers!

I've tried to unlock using DC-unlocker or HCU but my latest versions (C432B180) is not compatible.
Can I downgrade to a previous version (i.e. B160) using androidhost.ru rom (dload method) and after retry to read the bootloader code?
From which version does dc-unlocker work?
thanks in advance

Android Pie update in Europe

Hi,
I read different information regarding the Pie update of European models. I heard that that it is cancelled in US except of Verizon. But how does it look like with unlocked EU phones? Will we get the update or not? Does anybody know.
The promise to get Pie update was one of the reasons why I bought the phone. Now I feel tricked if we won't get it (and I assume it is the case).
I could get an unofficial update but then I'll loose Google Pay, my bank applications will not work anymore etc. Unlocking the bootloader is not an option for me.
But unlocking bootloader is the only one option for ATT users.

Question Any TWRP/Magisk for Mix Fold?

Hi!
My Fold will get delivered next week. Can't wait! Anyhow, I would like to install Magisk, v4a, and so on..
I don't see any Twrp available yet. Does someone know if there is any version on Chinese sites? If not, is there any on the way?
Has anyone flashed Magisk? Patched boot image method? Other method?
Is there any EU/Global rom for the Fold? Xiaomi.Eu won't support the Fold, which is sad. Is there any other?

No, I was searching since 8 weeks.

No, I did not try any.

Officially only chines are available, the phone came with Global 12.0.5 unstable, no PC mode, i immediately removed and miflashed chines latest stable one
V12.0.19.0.RJTCNXM​
.
Hi too answer your question yes theres no twrp available but flashed magisk patched works great having it work with safetynet passed having to be able to used gpay/ banking apps too and no eu roms with it.
with that said, For safetynet passed u gotta flash the universal safetynet fix by kdragon v1.2 + used the magiskhide props and with that used it on mi 10 ultra china and you will be fine. iam on latest version of it now which is now 12.0.19.

So to update, we don't use OTA, we need to use Magisk to keep the root?
I requested TWRP in the chines community, I got some feedback that I must pay in order to get it

The procedure is that you download the update through ota as per normal but after update don't restart, go to magisk and press the ota button whereby it will flash magisk on slot b thereafter then you can restart

Is that for real? Is there Twrp available ready and running, or are they tying to scam?
