unlocking the bootloader is a fairly easy process

it took me about 5 minutes

You can follow the motorrola guide here

the short version:

Go to the site

agree to terms

Download fastboot and the fastboot drivers

turn phone off , connect to pc, and power on + volume down

type: fastboot oem get_unlock_data

Paste the key into website, and ask for unlock key. That will be delivered to your inbox within 5 minutes,

and then paste it into fastboot: fastboot oem unlock UNIQUE_KEY

anyway, the provided guide by motorrola is quite nice, just follow that instead of my mumbling

edit:

ps. the device will reset itself to factory default. you don't get any warning
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] talkingmonkeys:
This same process should work on the Moto g stylus as well I believe. May just try it when mine arrives next week
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] mingkee:
It's similar with other moto phones

I unlocked G6, G7, Z3 Play, Z4, and One Hyper same way
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] androiddiego:
"the device will reset itself to factory default. you don't get any warning"

Do you mean a factory wipe of all data and reinstall or just default settings?
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] pjottrr:
it will be a factory wipe, so you lose every setting and all data you have on the phone.

If you are using it actively, make a backup ( for instance with LMSA) ) prior to unlocking.

I think this has been the case sincce a long time on any android version / any brand. as soon as you unlock the boot loader, it will wipe your phone
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] androiddiego:
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I just finally got the phone all set up so don't really want to wipe it. The only reason I want to root is to increase the color saturation. My LG V20 has a similar lcd screen. Once rooted and a kernel with Kcal, and boosting the saturation, it looks almost as good as a Samsung. Thanks for the tip on LMSA. Didn't even know what it was. That might just solve the dilemma.

Why the phone manufacturers don't give us more control over the screen is beyond me. The screens are capable.

I'm having some trouble getting the bootloader unlocked for my Moto G Power

I followed the instructions, and pasted the long string into the field on the Motorola website, but It popped up and said that my device does not qualify for unlocking. I did not purchase my phone through any carrier, but got an unlocked version via Best Buy.

Any help or suggestions on what to do next would be most appreciated!

Thanks.
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] HosSeagull:
Did you try using the tool on the website? I used that and I got the same message, so I ended up just pasting it in and manually erasing all the extraneous text and it went through without an issue. Try that and see if it works, if not...sorry I'm all out of ideas.
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] Hybrid Divide:
Thanks for your reply.

Yes. I've tried it both ways, pasting the text, and using their scrubber tool. I'll try it again, though and report back.

EDIT: Just tried it again, and still nothing. This is maddening.
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] mingkee:
Depends on which terminal you use

It it's regular command prompt, right click the top left code (make sure pound sign highlighted)

Drag to highlight the code and right click to copy

Now open the notepad and paste the code. Click the end of the line and press delete to let the next line join the current line

It should be like: 123abc#123abc#123abc#123abc#123abc#

Make 5 line into one line

Select all → copy

Paste the line and try again

I did bootloader unlock with few Moto phones this way and I had no problem
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] Hybrid Divide:
Thank you for your reply. I've tried that with no luck. Still get the "not qualified" error.
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] mingkee:
Something is suspicious

Which phone service are you using?
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] Hybrid Divide:
I'm using T-Mobile, but the phone was not bought through them. It's an unlocked model bought via Best Buy.

The Securestate is OEM Locked.

I should add that I do not have my SIM in the phone at this time, but that's never made a difference for me in the past.
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] pjottrr:
so i was wondering, what i the state of "oem unlocking" in developer options?

is it enabled ? , can you enable it, or is it greyed out?

i found this guide but I'm not sure if it might help. it does describe multiple options for bootloader unlocking.

https://www.****************/2017/0...w-to-enable-oem-unlock-on-any-android-device/

i believe android sage is blocked . it just blocks it out aparently

then google:
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] Hybrid Divide:
OEM Unlocking is enabled. I just checked to reconfirm.

I will check the link and report back. Thanks for replying.

EDIT: That link went nowhere. It appears that part of the URL was starred out.
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] pjottrr:
i see, it was starred out, android sage is not allowed i guess? probably bad rep. but the info there does seem ok.

but i added my google search term to the post, and you should be able to find it .

Just don't install any software from there :)
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] Hybrid Divide:
I found the tutorial, but it wasn't helpful. It seems quite dated. And one of the listed commands "fastboot oem device-info" wasn't even a recognized command.

I was able to enable OEM Unlock in the developer options, get the long 5-line code in ADB Fastboot, and I can get lots of info from "fastboot getvar all", but Motorola still says my device isn't qualified for bootloader unlocking.

And I know it isn't the "Moto G8 Power" here in the US, just the "Moto G Power", but I've heard of other US users being able to unlock. What gives??
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] pjottrr:
hmm, maybe it's time to contact lenovo / motorola and see what might be the cause of this.

they can probably figure it out
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] Hybrid Divide:
EDIT: I tried it again this morning, and it worked on my first try! Not sure what suddenly made it work, but I'm certainly not complaining! Thanks to everyone who tried to help! :D

I was afraid of that. I've heard them swearing up and down that devices aren't qualified to be unlocked because they're not on the list, BUT said list is old, and doesn't have anything newer than the G7 line. But I've already seen multiple G8, G Stylus, and G Power users gain their unlocks.

In case it may be helpful, below is the "fastboot getvar all" and "fastboot oem get_unlock_info" results.

Info removed, issue solved.

Edit: Got it! OEM Unlocking need to be enabled under developer options.
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] linuxgator:
I haven't tried on mine yet, mostly because carrier locked models usually don't permit bootloader unlocking either. And straight talk (or any other Tracfone variant) doesn't allow their branded phones to be unlocked, especially since they are heavily subsidized.

You were able to get the code without enabling oem unlock?

See, i came across a way to enable it, i just can't remember where, so don't lose hope... thing is, I've been researching extensively before i try with mine since mine is the mediatek variant, but the problem you have i don't have so that's why.

I know, i know, i just couldn't resist getting this phone in a mint condition, and i mean out-of-the-box-type-of-mint, for only 35 dollars and a very beat up moto-whatever in exchange that only went up to lollipop, and that's with the custom rom scene's help!

I just got the moto g power 2021 (XT2117-4 Borneo), and am having the same issue.

I was able to successfully generate the unlock_data, and have received my unique unlock code via email. When I got the above error, I remembered to enable developer mode, but OEM Unlocking is grayed out. I've tried with wifi, without wifi, right after factory reset via recovery, etc., but still no luck getting the switch to un-gray.

Suggestions?
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] zukakog:
Well, I've been checking twice a day for the last 4 days. I'd check, reboot, and check again, but no luck. This morning, I checked and OEM Unlocking was finally available, without even rebooting! I guess it just takes a few days, either after first connecting to wifi, or after requesting the code from Motorola. Either way, yay!

It took just a few seconds to get back into fastboot and unlock the bootloader.

whats the code to relock the bootloader?
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] RomainD2:
Hello,

I have the same problem for the bootloader, the device can't be unlocked.. I have contacted the Motorola chat, but as I am in France, they can't do anything for me...

Is there are specific website depending on the country where we bought the Motorola smartphone?

It is for a Motorola moto g 4g 2nd gen.
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] pjottrr:
i don't believe there is a specific website, if you want to contact Motorola from Europe you get moto Uk, but i doubt they can do anything for you.

just to clarify; you have the unlock-code and oem_unlocking is enabled in the developer options ?

If oem_unlocking is greyed out, try waiting for a few days, it appears to solve itself in most cases.

if it is enabled / not greyed out, what is the exact error you get from fastboot / phone?

because with your post i find it a bit hard to determine where in the process you are

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] TacticalDisadvantage:
Hello!

I had recently gotten a Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro brand new, and its been working fine for a while, but recently I ran into an issue: Namely, it often refuses to turn the screen on. The phone still makes sounds, it can receive calls, hell, it can even play music with no issue whatsoever, other than the fact that the screen itself appears dead. Once in a while the display turns on, and it works perfectly fine for as long as the screen is on, if I turn off automatic sleep, it can just run indefinitely like it usually would. When turning the phone off and back on, there are no boot animations, just a blank screen (sometimes they do appear, however rarely and I haven't noticed a pattern as to when they actually work as intended).

I figured it was an issue with MIUI 11, specifically 11.0.2.0, so I decided to flash a custom ROM. When attempting to enter fastboot mode, I am greeted by a blank screen, identical to the one that is present while booting up, but ADB recognizes the device just fine and I managed to unlock the bootloader despite no visual feedback from the device itself (I did manage to load into a fastboot mode with the Soviet android logo thing, but that was once, and it would revert back to being blank after 10 seconds). It had done a factory reset, and the problem persisted, it took me a good 5 minutes of spamming the power button for the screen to come back on, and the issue wasn't solved. I flashed official TWRP recovery on the unlocked device, and the ADB console reported the flashing as successful, however I have no way of accessing the bootloader or the recovery. (Not even the stock recovery would work, i tried that before I even touched the bootloader, it would just boot to system with a blank screen, and the phone would remain on, however largely unusable).

Now, I am a complete noob for these things, this is my first thread here, and I have no idea what could be causing the issue. Would flashing an older MIUI 10 stock ROM via MiFlash fix the issue? Or is this some sort of a hardware problem, although it doesn't seem that way as the phone was never dropped or exposed to the elements. I tried leaving it to completely discharge and then fully recharge, however that did precisely nothing. If you could look into this issue and help me find a solution, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hey!

I think you should flash stock ROM from the Flash tool selecting clean_all_and_flash from fastboot mode
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] TacticalDisadvantage:
Hey, thanks a lot for replying!

That's what I thought I'd have to do, but I have a question: should I flash the MIUI 10 ROM or 11? Would downgrading it like that cause any issues? The only MIUI 11 ROM available on Xiaomi site is the OTA update that caused the issue. Also, in the meantime I managed to get into proper fastboot with ADB commands and flashed an AOSP extended Android 10 ROM, the issue is still there but I can now consistently get into TWRP either by an ADB terminal or by rebooting into recovery directly from the ROM with the power menu. I had downloaded an MIUI 10 recovery ROM from the Mi Community forums, can I flash that through TWRP or would it be safer to use MiFlash to flash the fastboot ROM? Do I have to flash the stock recovery before using the tool or will it just work with the TWRP already present on the device?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] HumanBoy23:
No, I had downgraded from 11 before when I didn't had the miui 11 rom.zip I had miui 10 as backup. There is a thread for that anti rollback thing you can see that for more information. I would recommended you to go with the latest one if you are going to download or just flash the old one if you already have it

Possibly related to as asked in earlier threads:

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5t/help/connect-to-5ghz-wifi-router-t3950599

.. it seems that from Android 8.1 the radio on the OnePlus 5T takes a cue from the installed SIM card about which WiFi 5GHz channels it is allowed to connect to.

And, it's not right.

My Movistar (Spain) supplied WiFi device (so, I assume it follows country rules) chooses 5GHz WiFi bands that my OP5T running LineageOS 16 won't connect to.

Is there yet a fix, to allow the OP5T to actually talk to whatever WiFi 5GHz bands a nearby Access Point offers, rather than having to limit a more-capable WiFi 5GHz Access Point to the reduced set of bands supported by the OP5T radio as limited by Android 9/ LineageOS 16?

Or, I don't know - even manually configuring all of the possible channels on my Movistar router Access Point, my OP5T will never connect to a 5GHz WiFi network from the router. Is it that WiFi 5GHz is completely broken on OP5T on LineageOS 16?

thanks.

Thank you for your time.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] gerhard_wa:
If you have the 11.0.5.0 you most likely have the standard global V11.0.5.0.QFAMIXM since there never was a V11.0.5.0 for the EEA (EU). The latest EAA is V11.0.8.0.QFAEUXM (note the EU instead of MI in the model code).

The difference between the two is that the EAA (V11.0.8.0.QFAEUXM) conforms to the GDPR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation) set of rules. The standard global (11.0.5.0.QFAMIXM) doesn’t.

Under normal usage you will probably not notice any difference.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spetzmaniac:
Hi guys,

I was wondering if any of you have experience of rooting and changing a devices brand and model number, and more importantly the likely implications that may arise from doing so.

I have a slightly annoying situation whereby our company forces us to use iphones, and if we use other brands it gets picked up on our bill.

I have seen a couple of guides which involve changing the build prop file, but I wonder how badly it could screw things up on the carrier end. Presumably if I were later upgrading firmware I would need to flip the make and model back etc, but wondering if there may be other unforeseen pitfalls doing this.

Sorry for the slightly noobish post, wasn't sure where else to ask!! :)
