Got my G5 from EE earlier this morning. Looks like there's an OEM unlock like there was on the G4.

The Tmobile one in the US has this same option too. And doing the fastboot oem unlock function works too.
And then it stops right there. Any attempt to write a custom recovery does not work.
Hopefully it will be a different story over there.

Having this option in Android settings does not mean that the bootloader is unlocked. The SD820 Galaxy S7 & S7E have this option as well, and their bootloader is locked down tight.
Edit:
Aaaand, the bootloader is locked on all variants of the G5 as well. Thanks, Qualcomm...

It is built in on all developer options on all Marshmallow running devices. But is only a security option for the user to allow it IF...IF it is available from the manufacturer/carrier.

So, I was reading up a forum bout how Motorola's bootloader is locked, and the thought came across my mind..... Sony's bootloader can be unlocked, why cant the Motorola phones be unlocked too?
I know someone who has a Sony Neo with unlocked bootloader who flashes different kernels to get wicked overclock speeds

Is anyone working on this yet?
You should ask MOTO why don't they unlock our bootloader.
> why cant the Motorola phones be unlocked too?
Because of *****n Moto. I'm just mad that bootloader is still locked, even after Moto "joined" Google. Google promised, that they will provide optional unlock for all their phones...

you must be new to moto realm
This is the main reason i got a SII to be my primary phone, custom kernels are amazing.
But i still keep my milestone 2, its still a good phone.
i just received mi atrix from moto and they have loaded with new frimware.
there is no recovery anymore and impossible to unlock
is there any solution?
thank you
As far as i know you still have stock recovery. The new bootloader is not able to unlock at the moment so you can not put a custom recovery on it. I got a new atrix as a replacement recently and have the same problem. Good luck
why is it impossible to unlock the new bootloader?
is someone working on it or will we never get an unlocked bootloader?

Yea the same happened to me a few months back when I sent my phone to moto for replacement. I was really hoping for ics to fix that because we would all be on the same software and therefore have more developer support. But now that moto kill the update, im not sure we will be able to unlock our bootloader and run custom software.

I am wondering if currently anyway to unlock the bootloader on this version. If not, is there a way to rollback to an older version and then unlock it?

For starters, you cannot downgrade without an unlocked bootloader. Chicken and the egg :cyclops:
See the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr-m/general/guide-faq-how-to-root-boot-unlock-t2869432

You appear to have the "unlockable" version, so read the thread above.
If not, there is always the "Sunshine" app (ie pay to unlock).

You mean I can't unlock it.

Also I know you can install Safestrap I'm just having a b*tch of a time finding it and it may be of some use.
Tried to root my S8 sm-g950u, latest software update(qde), with cf auto root. I, however, do not have an oem unlock in developer options. Does this mean it's unlocked or not unlockable? I tried the cf auto root anyway, bad idea i assume, and odin kept failing or giving me a sha256 is invalid. i later realized the cf auto root was for the previous update. can't get twrp on it either. my latest idea was to flash the previous update, but i could not find a sprint version(the only one i found the connection would time out). suggestions?
You can't root it if it's a North American S8 as it have Snapdragon (unlockable bootloader).
You cant root any snapdragon phones.

So I'm stuck on a S7 a friend gave me while I wait for my OnePlus to get here, and I was shocked to find out there are no roms for the ATT version of the phone. Apparently cause none of them come unlocked? However in developer options on my phone OEM Unlocking was available, I clicked it and it says it was successful. Is there more to this that I'm not getting? Did I end up with a once in a blue moon OEM unlocked ATT S7?

The Samsung S7 from AT&T can't be OEM unlocked and maybe will never be.

You have to flash the ENG_BOOT file. You will need to know what bootloader version you are on. It is explained there.
I am running a T-Moble version on my ATT phone and works fine.
