Thanks.

Missed a comma after paying. I meant without paying like above method and unlocking through Samsung website or some other method.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] FISBANREGNER:
Oem unlock is possible on this device using fastboot commands. Need to enable USB debuging mode first then reboot the phone into Odin/download mode at this screen you use the fastboot oem unlock command. Also this device has a sideload capable bootloader that allows you to sideload patches that allow you to root the device. But be careful as I hear this samsung devices may be easy to brick. But not sure how true this may be.

I haven't tested any of this yet will be soon, I will report back my findings
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] afaneh92:
You heard that? Dont post what you heard.

Wrong info can lead user for money loss sometimes and you cant cover it?

Anyway all your info are useless and not even true
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] FISBANREGNER:
I don't know where you got your sources from. But I own this device and last night I was also able to sideload twrp on this device, however it was only tempory but using this method you are able to root this phone using the old-school method of altering the bootloader before devices became easy to root. And the information about bricking this device is actually true and confirmed qbout most samsung devices because they are loaded full of Is propietary software changes that make changing things like boot screens and system sounds a hard thing to do without special software packing tools. I suspect that this device may need to be rooted the old-fashioned way of hacking the os and not the bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] afaneh92:
Lol, that was the only true part. all fastboot and download mode commands are wrong YOU own samsung not something else with enabled fastboot capability, anyway you can use fastboot only with my twrp recovery, because I have enabled it.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] FISBANREGNER:
Well aperently you are correct about the fastboot commands. But I don't see why you couldn't flash firmware from another region to allow access to the oem unlock option. Or does the Processor have something to due with this not working?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] afaneh92:
You can't cross flash international firmware to US devices for example

Or but you might can cross flash Canada to US

Or Laten to international because its allowed in bootloader level.

That doesn't make oem available only on rare cases on some low security devices like A series from US

unlock bootloader? it must be free
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] lolvatveo:
I absolutely do not like how some developers know a little bit about how to unlock bootloader of hidden oem unlock option device without showing instructions or taking advantage to make money from other people's needs, 100 people=100 000$ **** **** ****, THEY'RE RICH . I know how it works and I'm not ROM, kernel developer expert but it works like this: somehow you extracted, backed up the userdata of an oem unlocked s20fe device, then to unlock device with hidden oem option you need to flash as a way to recover data. YOU ARE DONE. Just figure out how to get rid of unnecessary components because userdata contains a lot of stuff beyond the oem unlock, then tweak it accordingly to make it an suitable OEM unlock file for your device. I believe there are still many kind developers who are willing to help us and will discover this way and share it to the community. Below is a person who has been tricked to delete the bootloader, they make money anyway, and ask for a large amount of money. bootloader is not necessary for those devices that have the ability to flash to nand directly by unplug replug battery to pwroff completely then hold some hot key to enter nand flash mode, when samsung bootloader odin download mode is broken there is also a way that is through a memory card or usb otg to recover full stock rom. If any device requires a bootloader and flash via fastboot, well, that's a pity.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] afaneh92:
This picture of fake developer breaks devices to fix them with money and its not even samsung.

And your all this post are usless and full of scam.

You are not different than those scammers with all those wrong words and thoughts.

So stop spamming the threads.

Hi there. Am I correct in that there is still no bootloader unlock past v3. My s20fe is us snapdragon version fully updated to a13 ui5.1 and on bootloader E I believe it is now. Is there still a way to unlock or am I out of luck?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] curtis91:
Hello, for me you're correct : I don't find a solution to unlock the boot loader with my sm-g781u1, no possible to have hem unlock or in the download mode ,,
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Chickenkillla81:
Yeah. From everything I have gathered here and other less reputable forums is boatloader version 3 is the highest it can be. So v. 1,2, and 3 are good. So if your phone has not been updated for over TWO YEARS you can unlock bootloader with help of course. Your bootloader version is the 5th number (or letter) from the right on your build number. My s20fe is on android 13 and has most up to date firmware available unfortunately so I am out of luck 😒. You can check your build number to see if you are good to use the method here on xda. But I think it is around $100. I’m not sure exactly the current cost
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] curtis91:
Hello, for me it's the same thing , last updates...I will look for this method. Good day!
[General Questions and Answers] mgsgta3:
Hey guys. So I have a stylo 6 and upgraded to a k51. Both are lg and have same hardware, except the k51 has a better camera and no stylus.

The thing that I don't get is how come the k51 can't run a lot of apps the stylo can if they are the same hardware and same version of Android?
[General Questions and Answers] Raiz:
I guess it depends on what you installed on both devices, and maybe a little software improvement in the k51 on LG's part...
[General Questions and Answers] Warlockguitarman:
The k51 is a downgrade, the stylo 6 has mt6765 and k51 has 6762, the k51 and stylo 6 both have 64 bit hardware but the k51 is 32 bit software to operate faster with half the storage capacity, {Mod edit}
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] haileyn:
While WM 6.1 now allows for buttton 6 to be reassigned, any attempts to add 40c7 to the registry (Button 6 (Hold)) gets wiped when you do a soft reset. Is it necessary to kill the PTT key like we previously had to in WM6?

anyone tried this yet?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] ekw:
Well, its just easier to have a program that intercepts button presses. Such as... aebuttonplus! You can have double presses, long presses(hold) and etc. good software to check out.

Another solution is to just make a .reg file with desired entries and toss it into the startup folder, that way it will reapply on soft-reset. Goodluck!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] fmg9800:
Yes you need to delete PTT

This is what I found on another thread. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2573250&postcount=41

[General Questions and Answers] Bhanu8082:
just unlock bootloader and flash twrp

after that flash latest magisk zip hope it will work
[General Questions and Answers] :
No need to flash TWRP: Booting into it is sufficient.
[General Questions and Answers] sCriptKittY1987:
How did you unlock the bootloader?
[General Questions and Answers] Bhanu8082:
simple , go to about phone and try to find build number,

after you find build number tap on it until it says you are in developer mode

after that head on to developer option (it may be inside about phone section or above about phone section) turn on the option which says allow oem unlock. then,

just reboot to recovery mode either by pressing volume up or volume down key with power button.

after you enter recovery connect usb cable and open command prompt in pc and make sure that lg device drivers are installed on your pc also make sure you have adb and fastboot installed.

ok, after all this type command

adb devices

if any thing shows us then you have successfully connected your device.

after it type

adb reboot bootloader

then your mobile should restart and show fastboot mode in screen

type command

fastboot oem unlock

and done your bootloader is unlocked.

Where did you find a tarp img for the LG k51?
[General Questions and Answers] Bhanu8082:

[General Questions and Answers] sCriptKittY1987:
I meant TWRP recovery . After you've unlocked the bootloader where did you get a custom recovery to flash for the LG k51. From what I saw on Team Wins website, there isn't one.
[General Questions and Answers] sCriptKittY1987:
When I typed fastboot oem unlock I get a reply saying <waiting for any device>
[General Questions and Answers] escondidohiker:
I doubt that's going to work, but let me know if it does. Carriers and manufacturers use a variety of sophisticated security schemes like requiring lengthy codes that only they can provide, etc to purposely make it very difficult to unlock bootloaders. Tmobile gave me a K51 for free. They apparently feel the have to pay for it by spying on me. I bought a moto g7 plus unlocked for $117 directly from Moto and put Lineage on it, no gapps :) Would love to use thie k51 though if anyone figures it out because it's more waterproof and bigger battery.
[General Questions and Answers] :
Whether device's bootloader is unlockable / device's Android is root-able or not you easily can find out by means of ABB:

adb shell "getprop ro.oem_unlock_supported"

If returned value is 1, then it's supported otherwise it's not.
[General Questions and Answers] ShartedMcPants:
and let me guess my doofus luck im guessing no way to unlock it with out a P.C. like nuttin at all?
[General Questions and Answers] Satfu1:
Absolutely no of the crap above works at all in any capacity especially sprint. Generic postings like hold volume down and power also doesn't work to go into fastboot so if you guys are following the advice of some of these guys don't because you'll drop more money on a new phone then you will unlocking it some variants verizon is one I think you have to call LG I know I spent 6 hrs on the phone with "tech support" aka "jokes with a screen to read from" to FINALLY get into touch with an engineer who told me the only way "NOW" to unlocked the bootloader is in his office which means it has to be depot to be unlocked which as of this moment lg is not doing that WILL change in the future that was 12/03/2020. Even running external adb with kali linux to hack it broke the bootloader and sends you into an infinite reboot loop
[General Questions and Answers] Satfu1:
This returns no value on a locked bootloader because even with Dev. Opt. Enables its still read only until bootloader is unlocked this is verified on two carriers k51's sprint and att. However it is unlockable we haven't found it and/or LG has not added this service to their site which is where you will get the info needed for the unlocked.
[General Questions and Answers] azrienoch:
Oh my. You know you need to do all this from a computer, right? Can't do it in an Android terminal because fastboot commands are only valid in a phone's bootloader environment. And if you didnt know that then rooting and all of the dangers that come with it just isnt for you. But yes, it's rootable. So here you go anyway.

Reboot the phone to download mode.

Install LG's K51 usb drivers, and install adb and fastboot, on your computer.

Open a command prompt and type: fastboot oem unlock

If it does anything other than pat you on the back and tell you it's proud of you and how well you follow instructions, then go back and follow the effing instructions.

Otherwise, type: fastboot reboot.

Download magisk manager.

Do the magisk manager.

Use the LG flash tool on your computer to flash what you just did when you did the magisk manager.

And presto, you're rooted. Or I successfully left out enough info and you dont know how to use Google, leaving your device still not rooted. And thank god for that.

Ive been learning from xda for some time now. Bricked a few phones in my learning curve and tonight i had my first success with my g7, and wrighting this on my new k51. This is my first post and I think that was pretty rude of you to say. This is supposed to be a place to learn, share knowledge, and help those who are less educated. Not look down on people and say crap like that. If he wants to learn even if it takes a couple bricked phones to do it, let him. Either give him the proper procedures or dont say nothing at all. How long did it take you? How many phones? Its taking me quit a while but i am finaly getting somewhere. Keep with it guy. Dont let this dude, or any one else for that matter, bring you down.
[General Questions and Answers] PWRJNKI:
Yo Ken,

So your K51 rooted?

If so, maybe you could provide a step by step?
[General Questions and Answers] TexasPride:
I haven't done this yet but is it verified working? I did a google search came across the method to do the unlocking but it showed it was a failed project?
[General Questions and Answers] Pubbish:
O lord i hope this isnt true
[General Questions and Answers] Kenwoodquality69:
No i havent done it on my k51 yet. I did on my g7 power. My first success, got too cocky trying different roms and before i installed the last one i forgot to set the dev options and bricked it. So im a little gun shy on my k51 cuz its the only other phone i can get service on. However have been doing my research and lg told me they dont even send the unlock code at all for this device or untill I've had 6 months of service. But im gona try here real soon. My curiosities are getting the best of me.
[General Questions and Answers] Kenwoodquality69:
Well after many tries i i cant get to bootloader mode. Cant do it with the volume and power buttons. Ive tried every combo i can think of and the best i got was factory reset mode. However i was able to reboot through fastboot only to no evail. It would reboot to recovery but not to bootloader. Hmm. Has me stumed.
[General Questions and Answers] TexasPride:
If i remember correctly you gotta use a pc and type the run code in (cant remember exact name)
[General Questions and Answers] GigaPVP:
Hi, I have had this phone for about 3 months, but I want to root it so I can install some custom roms (treble GSIs)

I do have lots of homework, but in the time I dont, I have actually figured out how to get to bootloader/fastboot. The error most people make is typing adb reboot bootloader, you need to type adb reboot fastboot. Do note you do not need to be in recovery mode to do this, just enable USB debugging and run it on your pc
[General Questions and Answers] GigaPVP:
It kinda shocks me that doing adb reboot bootloader leads to no avail, but adb reboot fastboot works. Then again, we are talking about LG here, they are notorious for doing stuff like this

Edit: It shows fastbootd and the system info and options, I cant take a picture since my phone is my only camera, but here is the output on my pc

Perhaps I need drivers idfk
[General Questions and Answers] GigaPVP:
Update: Command goes through, but this happens
[General Questions and Answers] GigaPVP:
More updates: You can go into recovery via fastboot mode, after which you are greeted with the following

Reboot system now

Reboot to bootloader

Apply update from ADB

Apply update from SD Card

Wipe data/Factory Reset

Mount /system

View recovery logs

Run graphics test

Run locale Test

Power off
[General Questions and Answers] GigaPVP:
Additional Notes: Apply update from ADB seems to work, I just dont have the energy to figure out what to flash or how to fix "Unable to open fastboot HAL"

@Kenwoodquality69 could you guide me in any way?
[General Questions and Answers] Kenwoodquality69:
Well for one. It looks like you need to hit the update driver button and get your drivers for your device. Two. I havent used windows for years. I run zorin on my laptop/pc. And three, if you dont have the energy for it there isnt much i could say anyway. I am just learning myself. Sorry im not much help.

I have successfully unlocked the bootloader on the K51s! I will shortly have Magisk fully installed with root. I am the first to also unlock the bootloader and gain root on the Stylo 6, I used almost the same technique from the stylo 6 to do the K51. It's not that easy and so far nobody else has been able to recreate it

I now have the first K51 unlocked bootloader with full Magisk root, I also have the first 2 Stylo 6's that are also bootloader unlocked and rooted.

Could you please show how?
[General Questions and Answers] Warlockguitarman:
A group of us teamed to to unlock and root the stylo 6 v60 and k51, we are reverse engineering the process now, hopefully soon we will have a way to do it that everyone will be able to do, but for now the stylo 6 and k51 have only been done by me and the assistance of a paid program, official posts will be made when it's all figured out
[General Questions and Answers] GigaPVP:
Hey @Warlockguitarman I was actually looking through google for a way to unlock my phone's bootloader and I found another thread that you were talking about the lg k51

So I followed the steps of using libusb filter and then using the python app to disable protection:

I then generated an empty scatter file and had full access to the mediatek com or smth, but idk what that really does for me. I wanted to be able to unlock my LG K51's bootloader so i can install a stock android 11 gsi on it (since LG's os sucks).

So yeah, I did gain access to the mediatek BROM mode using a hovatek guide, but I do not see how this helps me unlock my phone's bootloader so I can install third party GSIs

[General Questions and Answers] Warlockguitarman:
I'm about to shift to working on the k51 once I find the way to make a flash for to unlock bootloader on the stylo 6. It's more difficult than it seems
[General Questions and Answers] Paul_Neocube:
assistance of a paid program? which? I still have not found one that can do it for me.... this phone or my moto one 5g ace. I seem to only have phones that you are unable to root for one reason or another. I also figure you haven't gotten a definite on how you had accomlished this feat?
[General Questions and Answers] andyduby:
i got $50 on BS
[General Questions and Answers] Warlockguitarman:
Tell me how I can get that $50, send me a K51 and I'll send it back unlocked and rooted, I'm about to make a YouTube video with 4 unlocked bootloader LG'S 2 K51's and 2 Stylo6's. I'll turn each of them on to see the orange state and I'll go into magisk in each of them, hell I'll even start the video out flashing the magisk patched boot.img
[General Questions and Answers] Warlockguitarman:
That way don't work

That way won't work for this phone
[General Questions and Answers] Paul_Neocube:
I have to side with you on this one. Only because days ago (almost a week now), I replied asking a few questions and I get no reply whatsoever. Then you said this, which made me laugh actually, and a little over AN HOUR later, he comes at you in a reply! Wow.
[General Questions and Answers] Warlockguitarman:
I responded quickly because that $50 buys me another K51 or Stylo 6 for me to get new test readings with, but I guess that's not a real offer, I'm not in a position to be answering too many questions about doing this because I'm not getting the help I need from the big developers on making a process that everyone can do to unlock and root theirs. So i don't care if your non believers, but I've made believers out of many more, and I'll continue to, I don't want to be paid for this discovery, how about yall pay the shipping and send me any mtk device and I'll send it back with unlocked bootloaders and Magisk root, the stylo 6 and K51 are just a start, I've done many other cheaper mtk devices that I believe nobody else has unlocked yet also
[General Questions and Answers] Paul_Neocube:
Yeah I can understand that but I would never actually think someone would actually make a bet like that and stay true to it anyways. I would have taken it for what it really was, a figure of speech.... as I do pretty often myself. Although, I would be happy to pay someone $50 to do this 3 guide root attempt I shall be starting soon. I worry something will go wrong, as that is always the chance when rooting as I am sure you are well aware. LOL, but hey, can't learn if you don't attempt, fail, and try again!
[General Questions and Answers] Warlockguitarman:
Best to do your research, alot of guides are generic guides, if you can enable oem unlock and adb debugging in developer options and adb reboot bootloader or in the lg case adb reboot fastboot then fastboot flash oem unlock or a few other variants of that to unlock the bootloader then your set, but in the lg and moto cases you need the oem unlock key to get the unlocked bootloader that you desire, now the moto might be doable, but you gotta sign up on the Motorola site and request the unlock code, I've done about a dozen Motorola bootloader unlocks this way, but the LG phones still not be doable at this time unfortunately, I am missing one step to making this possible on the LG's I need to disable android verified boot "avb" to make it possible.
