Hey guys! Do I have to get my bootloader unlocked to flash the OxygenOS 3.0 community build? According to the OnePlus website I do but some people did it with it locked. Thanks

@v1n0d Stop asking for nougat, we are lucky that we received marshmallow, devs are doing the possible to make nougat
And, just PLEASE, when you start typing the title, check for similar threads who are asking the same question (It'll show links when you start typing). So instead of creating new thread everytime, just post on the relevant thread.
Stop making thread asking for nougat, and please, do not bother developers.
Hi. I know I am posting in the Q&A for the zenfone 2 laser but I have to ask if, since zenfone 2 laser and zenfone go (ZB500KL) are virtually identical in the specs (except for the laser part), would it be possible to develop roms for the zenfone go, starting from the zenfone 2 laser? I noticed asus gives out the kernel source code. How hard is it to make a new rom from that? (Not complaining. Actually making a real question)
Thanks
Before you get to the custom ROM part you need an unlocked bootloader. I searched on google and I found that you can unlock the bootloader and there is an CM12.1 ROM. I'm not sure about stating from the zenfone laser but you could try it if you want. I'm not a developer btw..
Also I found something very cool if you are tired of ASUS's ZENUI. There is a mod that will convert the stock ASUS ROM to stock Android ROM but is only for [ZC500TG/Z00VD] so I don't know if this will work for (ZB500KL). I will post the links bellow.. Also don't forget that this is just an idea from a non-developer so sorry if this is not the answer. Maybe a developer will answer you but I don't think that will happen

Hi. thank you for your response and sorry for the late reply. that rom is made for the first zenfone go (launched along the zenfone 2 series). The ZB500KL was launched in late 2016 in it's own segment. From my research there is no known way to unlock the bootloader or any rom available for that matter. That's why I asked if there could be a possibility of a port, or it the hardware similarities between the two phones facilitate the development of new ones

Hi! No problem!
There is no way to port a ROM for your phone if your bootloader is locked because you need TWRP and that needs an unlocked bootloader. There are some phones where you can use TWRP and flash a custom ROM with locked bootloader ( here is an example ) but I don't know if you can do that on Zenfone Go or any Asus device.
Edit: Another example where you can flash TWRP on locked bootloader: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ze...root-how-to-root-ze550kl-marshmallow-t3409264
Sorry for that stupid question, but is there any Q&A for ZB500KL? I cannot find it, and I don't want to post to ZenFone 2 Q&A. Thanks

The bootloader is already unlocked. Just make sure ypu have authorized USB Debugging in Developer Options and can access the fastboot/bootloader mode. Just try flashing twrp 3.0.3 you'll confirm it..

Not in the near future, since bootloader is locked (cant flash custom recoveries) and no sources available, even for the kernel. (cant build custom roms) This device is also missing the community support.
My hopes are that when Oreo is released, sources for 7.0 would be released and the bootloader will be unlocked. Maybe then it will attract more developers.

Hi everyone,
I wanted to see if could flash a different rom/try lineage os on my S10+ (SD/Canada) and I've checked everywhere but i can't find a single thread or website where there is support for this phone (or the SM-G975U). Am i just unable to navigate the forum or is there literally no support/custom rom development for these versions?
Thanks

Got my answer.
sheikh03, I am also curious if lineage would work on SM-G975W. Do you mind posting any information you found?
1. You cannot unlock the bootloader yourself but according to this thread there is a way
2. This thread is the lineage OS rom for the SnapDragon Version
The 2nd Thread has a link to the TWRP recovery thread as well.
