Please someone answer.... I did not update the phone. Phone shows the November 2021 security update, but it does not have "OEM unlock" under developer options. Brand new phone...

If there is another way to go about unlocking bootloader and rooting that does not require "OEM unlock" please point me to it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Meohome:
I know the oem function unlocked so you can switch to toggle under another phone that someone has. They didn't connect to wifi. They bought a preplan for 90 days. They never connected it to wifi. I'm borrowing this persons phone right now. And it appears the data has been used up. The phone probably just tried to download an update it appears, but it ran out of data to do it. It reached 8 percent of a 575 mb download.

So what I attempted to do is buy my own blu view 2. And I followed another method. I put this persons sim card into my phone and I'm trying to wait so many days to see if that unlocks my blu view 2 oem toggle. So far its not unlocking yet. It's connected to mobile services. I'm thinking it might. But I'm thinking it might not as well. Because maybe it has to use mobile data on that sim card. Which has reached 0.

If it doesn't work in a certain amount of days. I may try to use that method you just posted to see if it works. I might try to throttle my download speed to a very slow speed so it doesn't have a chance to download that new firmware. And I will see if that OEM unlock option finally allows me to toggle.

My theory is that it needs data through mobile service. Or it needs data through wifi to check on that phone so it can enable that function. Otherwise I'm trying just the mobile without data method right now to see if that works. But I'm 100% sure you don't need to hook it up to wifi to unlock that toggle. And you can probably avoid downloading that update. Unless someone else can chime in on here on how they unlocked that toggle on their bluview 2?

update: It has been 4 days. Putting the sim card from another bluview 2 into my bluview 2 method didn't work. I restarted the phone. And the OEM toggle is still not unlocked. I think it needs data from the mobile data or the wifi data. I can throttle my speed through my router to prevent it from downloading the latest update at a fast pace. I'll use that method you posted 1-7. Minus trying to update the phone. But just connecting to wifi and waiting.

update: It worked! I just followed the instructions you gave me. But I throttled the download to 2 Mbps in my router settings. It started downloading. Then when I went into the developer options. It was unlocked. You don't have to install the update. It should unlock the toggle after it connects the internet. And it only downloads a small portion of that update. I can't believe I wasted all my time with that other method.

Update: please note that if you do a factory reset. That you will have to connect to the internet again to unlock this oem option. I thought you might not have to, but you do.

There is...

Lock and unlock the bootloader | Android Open Source Project

source.android.com

If unlocking the bootloader is allowed, this toggle should be available in Android settings to allow the user to decide whether they want to permit unlocking the bootloader.

Once OEM Unlocking is enabled, the user can then unlock the bootloader. Consider it a "safety".

This toggle may not be present on all device variants.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma9o7:
My kids have been using these tablets a couple years with stock FireOS stuff, but I've decided it's time to get more out of them.

The tldr is, which rom is the most usable as daily driver, and what are its known issues?

I first tried the newest ROM here, but it is indeed marked unstable. I've been using it a couple weeks and have had issues with video hardware acceleration not working at all in certain cases, and additionally some video apps will suddenly exit while in use.

So I started researching the older ones, trying to figure out which I should be using. Reading for hours. It seems like the 16.0 has wifi issues but is no longer supported, so maybe 14.1? And that 15 and 17 not good options at all. This will still be used by young kids so I dont want weird issues. Main uses are videos (kodi, youtube kids, newpipe) and games.

So which version should I install?

[General Questions and Answers] FailSafeNow:
Hey. I'm running a Moto G5 Plus, but I feel like this is a general question. The question is, how do I edit gpt.bin? I want to make the boot partition just a little bigger. One of the other partitions can afford to get 4 MB smaller to make room. How do I do it? What do I do?

I thought this would be an easy thing to find out. But from all the searching I've done, it seems that nobody will say how to do it! They won't even tell you what tool you need! A hex editor? Hah! No! Tried it! The results were no better than opening the file with Notepad. I see some words, and I see a lot of nonsense characters that mean nothing. Now, I can open GPT.bin with 7zip, and when I do, it shows me partitions, with sizes, and labels from aboot.img to utagsBackup.img. But of course, 7zip is not an editor.

So what am I supposed to do? What can parse GPT.bin and edit it? This place has some of the best Android developers in the world. Someone has got to know how to edit such a common file! Or is it not that common at all?

I've got a little problem with my own ringtones. If I copy a MP3 to my device an say "copy to ringtone folder" I don't get any sound out of my phone.

If I delete the MP3's and the file from my Ringtone folder it works again.

Are there any restritions with this roms (bitrate, mono, fileformat e.g.)?

Does anybody else has this problem? And how can I fix it if I want my own ringtones?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
I just installed it and everything looks good so far. But I did NOT format the data partition. I had the Nexus ROM installed which didn't encrypt the data partition. Before booting this ROM, I used TWRP's file manager to see if the internal storage was encrypted and it wasn't. So it was like doing a dirty flash. It kept all of my apps and settings so all I had to do was arrange my home page. So, if your data partition isn't encrypted, you DON'T need to format it.

Je me suis alors rendu compte que le téléphone était bloqué (CID). En manipulant alors mtty j'ai aggravé la situation. lorsque j'allume le téléphone, c'est un écran tout blanc qui apparait. lorsque je l'allume en appuyant à la fois la touche photo et le bouton d'allumage, j'ai le bootloader avec les infos suivantes:

- SPL 1.22.0000

- CPLD-4

lorsque j'essaie d'installer d'autres roms Touch dual j'ai tjrs des messages d'erreurs "invalid vendor ID", "impossible de communiquer avec le téléphone", "modèle incompatible". ce qui m'a alors fait comprendre qu'il me fallait obligatoirement la rom d'origine.
