Is the bootloader unlockable? - Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers

I'm really considering getting this device, my brother just got it and it seems great but, before I commit to it I want to make sure the bootloader is unlockable. Can anyone confirm that you can unlock the bootloader with the OEM unlock command?

BL is not unlockable at this time.

That's too bad hopefully that changes in the future. Either officially or unofficially.

there was a topic on nokia 6 forum for unlocking bootloader for 2nd gen but there are no codes available anymore we missed the boat

Oh come on. Can you send me the link, maybe there is something in the wayback machine?

Usually oem provided unlock codes are generated on a per device basis so doing this would be pointless. Basically you send a command to the device it gives you a number and you give than to the OEM and they give you another code to use with OEM unlock and mark your warranty void. Which is honestly probably illegal now (in the us at least) based on what the FCC had been doing lately. I mean them voiding your warranty like that is illegal. That's probably one of the reasons they would stop giving it codes.

Hopefully someone can find a free way to generate the codes but if not we'll see if this method works on this device and if it leads to it getting twrp and Lineage OS or other roms.

The official answer of Nokia about bootloader
These is the official answer Nokia customer when I ask about bootloader

yes its unlockable you just have to pay $5 for the service. my question is why is there no twrp or root yet? I cant post the link to the unlock but you can do a google search.

Nokia havent relesed yet bootloader codes. If you buy one (its a tool that is like server and they have a guy in the nokia or maybe have hack nokia server and the send you your unlock.bin file) these is the commands that you need but first you must unlock the dev option and put on oem unlocking
install fastboot drivers for phone.
power off phone.
run
fastboot -i 0x2e04 flash unlock <signature file>
connect phone to cable
run
fastboot -i 0x2e04 oem unlock-go
follow instructions on phone display if any

if you are in android 7.1 and not updated ,there's a way ,through 9008 mode to unlock it.
if you already updated through ota, there's only paid way to unlock it till now.

PM me for unlock bootloader

New Motorola Bootloader Unlock WebSite - May work?

Hey there guys. These days Motorola announced their new web site, where you can "unlock" your bootloader. I've registered and tried to follow what they say, but I can't enter the fastboot mode.
When you enter in this link: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
You click "proceed anyway" at the bottom, register and gets to a page that says this:
DEVICE ID AND UNLOCK KEY
To unlock your device, you need to retrieve your device ID and obtain an unlock code.
I. RETRIEVING YOUR DEVICE ID
Put your device in fastboot mode (Power+Vol Down) and connect over USB
Open a command prompt or Terminal session
Go to the Directory where you installed the Android SDK tools, and type:
$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
This fastboot command will return a character string. This is the Device ID which you will be using to generate your unique unlock key.
$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
(bootloader) 0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230
(bootloader) 30373731363031303332323239#BD00
(bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95
(bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
(bootloader) 0000000
OKAY
[0.297s]
To generate your unlock code, you’ll need to paste together the 5 lines of output into one contnuous string without "(bootloader)" or white spaces.. Using the example above, the line you’d send us would be:
0A40040192024205#4C4D35563132303037373136303130333 2323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1 F532800020000000000000000000000
Enter your continuous string into the "Request Your Unlock Key" section below.
Someone with an "extra" Defy that is on the stock GB, wants to try this? I can't enter on the stock recovery/fastboot mode to try this. But the hope still. I know that Moto says that only Xoom and Razr Dev Edition can be unlocked, but we should try.
Hope someone can retrieve and key and send to moto, to see what happens.
Rock on! o/
Good Idea! i hope this can help our DEFY's bootloader get unlocked!
You guys cant read?

This was actually the first thing I've done after reading there's only one device supported.
Or, let's say, I told them to try again, but this time in a way the community doesn't feel screwed (again).
There's no news, none, in this unlock procedure. There are no new devices as the Photon has actually been already announced to be unlockable and the other ones can't be unlocked by this anyway. This is just a joke.
I'll make an educated guess - it will be another 6 months until a new device shows up there and no, it's not going to be a legacy device like our Defy.
And I'm not even going to speak about this whole warranty thing. Though other manufacturers seem to be a bit more accommodating, I'm pretty sure Motorola's going to **** us over once again by neglecting to replace phones with production faults when the bootloader's been unlocked.
Just wait for it.

[Q] bootloader related.

Holla! i'm thinking about getting the Zenfone 4GB ram variant .
but there is one thing that concern me and this is Custom ROMS
is the bootloader unlockable?
will it be possible to get CyanogenMod up and running on the device?
Not yet.
My 551ML does not show a locked bootloader, so I am able to flash a pre-rooted system.img file via fastboot. My guess is that CM and AOSP compiling will occur soonly.

To test whether the bootloader is locked or not, it would be a better idea to flash a custom kernel built from sources and see if it boots. According to the Asus forum (read here) the bootloader is locked and for now there is no plan to provide a way to unlock it.

I never understand WHY vendors like Asus, Motorola or Meizu makes ultra powerfull phones ... what we BUY for MONEY, and lock them for never let you install what you want...
I really want this phone ... but never will buy it if I can't install an AOSP custom made ROM ... (no CM, i hate it)
that why I always buyed unlocked phones like Nexus phones or my actual OnePlus One...
i hope the Lenovo K80, who will be released 30 april will be unlocked !
or the Elephone p7000 (for this, you can already find CM, AOSP, Flyme etc... roms on the OFFICIAL website !!!! )
I agree. I want to buy this phone, but I'm not going to until Asus allows to unlock the bootloader.

seriously, what it cost to Asus to unlock the bootloader ? and let owners use our phone that they buyed ....
but..
In the warrenty document over on Asus Zenfone section the following details are interesting
Unusability or damage to the Product caused by installing and using the Unlock Device App, which is a utility that will unlock your Product's boot loader but will render the warranty null and void.
The pdf file can be reviewed from the Asus website
Does this help?

Odds are they were lazy and copied the warranty document over from the one for the previous Zenfone devices, which had bootloader unlock methods released by Asus. Hope they do the same with the Zenfone 2.
hmm...
But has anyone tried to unlock it by this method!

If bootloader is unlocked by default, people who are not suitable for that will brick the phone in a higher chance, with more issue varieties which increase the cost of after sale services like maintenance. Unless there is no warranty or support for the phone after sale, vendor will not unlock the bootloader.
I am under the impression the ZE550ML zenfone 2, I have, i that the boot loader is locked.
As it is proving impossible to root it using the pre root images available.
I have 2 sets of instructions that I have followed to the exact method, yet the phone will not root !!
1) ADB sideload method, in recovery mode, choose the ADB option. Zip file is in the folder with the ADB + fastboot files.......................................message in command is "unreadable zip or not recognised'......
Checked ADB device and ADB recognises zenfone attached to computer!
2) turn phone on and have debugging set.......................(no recovery mode) place system.img into fastboot folder...........open command via the shift + right click option............submit the line 'fastboot flash system system.img.........................continuously waiting for device......nothing else
Ive never known a more difficult phone to root, especially with all the easy straight forward instructions out there to follow.
So I'm of the impression the bootloader or something is stopping root
Anyone else had the same issue?

Not iff the unlock tool is by ASUS... Their tool ends your IMEI or some phone identifier to the update servers negating any warranty you think you have after re-locking... If you used unofficial unlock then no identifier has been placed against your account, theoretically, there's nothing to suggest they can't detect unlocked bootloader with a little piece of programming added into their updates...

Hi Snort, yes, i tried this, i tried uninstall and reinstall all drivers, tried to format one notebook of mine, tried the xFSTK mehotd but ALL things and with different pcs AND cables, any pc recognize my cellphone, but it stills charge.

do you know how re-lock the bootloader ? I don't found other procedure than this.
I have unlock with not official asus tool
I've tried the steps listed @ asus-zenfone (Google search for link)
This still doesn't work..While it helps you get back to stock (Steps are also listed here @ XDA), I believe the Asus servers keep track of your serial or IMEI. At this point, you'll need to manually update the OTAs software with ADB sideload. Luckily for us, Asus posts these on their support site for the phone.
Unfortunately this is bad if you're trying to sell your phone, but I knew what I was getting into unlocking it. No regrets.

[CLOSED]Force Unlocking Bootloader on Nokia 6.1

Hi,
I too own a Nokia 6.1 (TA-1089) model and have successfully rooted it.
Here are the steps I followed:
Download and install "adb and fastboot" tool on your system
Follow this Boot loader unlock guide by Techmesto and ensure your boot loader gets unlocked properly.
Many guides recommend using TWRP, but I say use "Magisk" (basis my personal experience)
Download the latest version of Magisk from this another guide by Techmesto and follow the steps listed under "Root method #1."
Few Special Pointers:
If in case you're unable to find any relevant "Magisk patched boot images" for your device, you can opt for "Root method #2" listed in the above guide.
I would highly recommend that you "DO NOT USE" TWRP V.3.3.1 as suggested in the guide. I used that version and bricked my device. So, Google for "twrp-3.4.0-0-PL2_sprout-11.0-20200909.img" file and use it as that worked for me.
Ensure that you're BOOTING into TWRP using the command:
Code:
fastboot boot <twrp.img>
as flashing the TWRP got me stuck on its splash screen for eternity.
The first time you boot into TWRP, it might ask you for a password to decrypt data. Use your phone password" (Example - 0000 in my case) and the decryption will start automatically.
Feel free to reach out in case any pointer confuses you OR you're stuck anywhere.
Cheers,
Manu

Is the T-Mobile OP7T (HD1907) screwed because of the locked bootloader?

I've read here that the bootloader is locked on T-Mobile's OP7T, are we screwed when it comes to rooting? Doing a search for HD1907, I hardly see anything related to rooting it successfully. Has anyone done it yet? Is there hope for us HD1907s?
Thanks!

You can request a sim unlock from mobbdeep and you'd be able to unlock your bootloader once you sim unlock your phone. Then you can proceed to convert to international if you please.

Bootloader unlock is in the developer options section of settings. you have to get the unlock token and submit it to OnePlus for your unlock bin. Once the unlock bin is flashed you're bootloader unlocked.

Know of any disadvantages to switching to the US Global version of the OS? Seems like those are being updated faster than the T-Mobile versions.
I'm planning on writing up some documentation about the conversion process once I get my unlock code (should be here tomorrow which means it might take me a few days to mess with it and get it all nice and neat)

You don't. It takes exactly 7 days from when you submitted it. You can check back on the site you submitted the request on and you'll see when it's done, and you can then download it from there. Pestering OnePlus or T-Mobile does nothing, you won't get it any faster.
