Bootloader Unlock Allowed - NO!!

I just check my ZL and it says Bootloader Unlock Allowed - NO
Does that mean I will never be able to unlock the bootloader and install custom ROMS? I have my phone rooted and its also SIM free if that matters. Would someone be kind enough to explain the consequences?
TIA

Don't worry mate (if initially your "BL unlock allowed" was "yes")! I read it in the XZ rooting thread that if you root with a locked BL then you might have a bug resulting into BL unlock status to not allowed. Doomlord has also posted a fix for this, i think. Have a look at this thread. Hope it helps.

The thing is, I didn't check if I was allowed to unlock my bootloader before I rooted it (banging my head against a wall as I type this). Any way to find out?
EDIT: Nevermind, I see that I have to flash it and if I had an unlockable BL, the status changes to yes, and if not, then nothing changes. However, how do I flash this seeing as how there is no CWM out yet?

AW: Bootloader Unlock Allowed - NO!!
There is CWM:

But just for unlocked bootloader...

CWM for locked bootloader would be coming... krabapple is working on it...

hi mates,
if unlocking BL, i will lose BE2 & WM right? sr if this noob question was answered before

AW: Bootloader Unlock Allowed - NO!!
Yes, you loose that functionality.
And please don't ask the same question in several threads. Ask once and have patience until someone replies.

I have Xperia Z LTE C6603 with
bootloader unlock allowed:No
I Can change this to --> bootloader unlock allowed:Yes ?
as I can change it ?
Thanks.

G7(Sim Unlocked LM-G710ULM) Bootloader unlock and/or root?

Hey guys i just got this with the ULM model and was wondering if anyone had a bootloader unlock for it. also if possible a root

There are rumors of a new bootloader unlock for G710ULM but I haven't tried it myself. If you decide to go for it let us know.

I managed to unlock my bootloader with some help from the telegram group

Yes, there's a new unlock method posted on one of the famous Russian forums. I haven't tried it, but it involves booting once with a rooted boot image, using root and a root adb terminal to overwrite the bootloader with an unlockable one, unlocking the bootloader, and copying the original boot loader back. It seems fairly straightforward, though, as I said, I've not tried it.

Yes, thats a very good explaination of it

Link to the method?

As far as I can tell the method has only been posted in the G7 Telegram group. I think I'm not allowed to link to the group invite, but if you Google for an LG G7 Telegram group you should be able to find it and get access to the group.

This thread is kind of old, but I found this thread before I found the latest and best one, which is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/how-to-bootloader-unlock-g7-thinq-t-t3963568
The answer to OP is YES it is possible to unlock bootloader on ULM and other G7 models, and the instructions are in the thread above ^

No way around it.
Although the unlock site is very buggy.
Many people get that message, but later are able to unlock.
I suggest running getvar all
Code:
fastboot getvar all
And then compare the cid code from getvar all, with the list of cids.
There's a link in my bootloader unlock thread.

No rooting Moto devices unless the bootloader is unlocked.

How should I relock my bootloader on Motorola One Oaction?

So I successfully rooted phone, with TWRP, and Magisk. The only problem I'm having is 1) still getting safety net API error,
and
2) I don't know which command to use to relock the Boot loader.
It is likely that one will fix the other, or at least I think as Google is detecting my unlocked bootloader. I want to be able to re-un-lock it (I've been seeing forums filled people who can't unlock their bootloaders after locking it.

If your device is not 100% stock when you lock the bootloader it will not boot.

I have not seen this problem reported (much) as long as the device was full stock when relocked.

It seems to be a new problem. The the safety net check problem seems to be with magisk 22.1 (and 22.0 reportedly works but I'm too lazy to downgrade) as Hide works and I used alternative app to check safety net (SafetyNet Test) and it passed that. So everything is working as it should accept Magisk's internal safety net check tool.
Also, I finally learned how to add quotes, yay me!

Turned out it WAS the magisk build 22.1 was fixed now FOSS works. Thanks with the help about MagiskHide. Now I need a terminal emulator that requests root permission. Any suggestions?

If you haven't already, you need to look in the 'guides' forum. There's a topic specifically to unlock the BL, and you'll also have to follow the info when you have a Verizon variant, which you have, because that's the one that doesn't have the OEM unlock in dev settings.
It's not that hard to do. Finding a workable TWRP is more involved. Not so much finding it but getting it installed. Because there is no recovery partition any more, twrp has to be ram-disk injected into the boot partition, that's where it gets more complicated.
