Anyone succeeded with unlocking their bootloader?
I get a device not supported error.
Btw, i received my device yesterday and immediately got an OTA update of about 155mb. Screenshots attached.
Update : Nevermind. It worked after multiple tries.

So I hope XDA can help me...Thanks in advance
I unlocked my omnia 7 today and forced it to update to nodo and it contained its unlock. So now i want to update normaly via zune to 7.0.7392.0 but everytime i want to update it says after my omnia 7 rebooted the update failed and i get the error code 80180005.
Can anyone please help me?
Edit:
Tried it again and now i got a new error code: 80180048
Well scratch that now it's the same error code again -.-
Hi!
The error code 80180048 means (and as you wrote it yourself too), that you forced it to update, and didn't do it the official way, that's why Microsoft didn't let you
update it again. Luckily there's a fix for that. If you google just "80180048" that's the first page. (Sorry i can't paste link as i am a new user )
Hope this helps.
By the way, you can keep your device unlocked with an app. called Samsung Tools. Download it before the update, and than tick "Prevent Device Relocking". After that you can update the official way, and it keeps your phone unlocked.
Hi there, I skipped the Nexus 4 myself but a less techie friend of a friend is having trouble updating his to KRT16S from JWR66Y.

He says he bought it straight from Google, never unlocked the bootloader, never rooted. Yet during the update install he gets the message:
"/system/app/PlusOne.apk" has unexpected contents.
There is no way that system app should have been modifiable if he was never rooted. But for some reason it does not match what the update zip expects.
Any idea why this might be happening? And is there any way he can possibly upgrade with a locked bootloader, without wiping?
I received sms saying I can unlock my bootloader and I did the procedure but in the end it says 99% and then below I can see verifying completed and unlocking failed. Did more then three times but it comes till 99% and after that it says unlocking failed (1).
I'm on Miui Global Stable 8.1 ROM
Wait a week before trying to unlock.

Hi, I've successfully unlocked the bootloader today. My device failed to bind the account and after trying everything everyone suggested it still failed. The unlock tool always stuck at 99%.
I just kept patience and did nothing but formatted the phone and logged in my mi account and tried binding it but failed as always. I didn't even enabled the USB debugging but the OEM unlocking was enabled. And VOILA..!! It just unlocked without binding the device and account. So the conclusion is : "PATIENCE"...!!
It took nearly 10 days for me as I got permission on 19th May and unlocked on 28th May. So, this may be different for everyone but I think nothing special works for unloacking the BL, its just LUCK, as I was trying daily for last 4 days.

Have u tried what I've done?
Hi guys, I successfully unlocked device after getting permission almost 20days, I suggest everyone who are not able to unlock device to wait up to 20days after getting permission message to unlock bootloader successfully.

Yup! i ran HCU today and somehow got rid of the bootloader unlocked message on boot! hurrah.
however i have an update pending to B371 in the update option in settings but it fails every time. i think this means my phone is missing OEM info ?

Downgraden to marshmallowscreen and then do the upgrade again. I had a problem with the settings force Vlissingen and downgrading and upgrading again solved the problem. Only catch is that it also does a factory reset.
Recently I had to go back to a Axon 7 A2017U that I used as a backup. At the time ZTE's servers were off so I couldn't update. I used Miflash to unlock the bootloader thinking that I would update using one of the fine OEM images that I could find on XDA. At that time I noticed that I could download B15 from ZTE and manually install it from a SD card so I relocked the bootloader before doing anything else to the phone. I made sure that I had developer mode enabled and that OEM unlocking and USB debugging were enabled. When I tried to update there was no love. I tried many times with different OEM images. I've trippled checked that the bootloader was locked. No twrp was installed. So I figured that I would wait for the OTA servers to get up and running. Low and behold a few days later I get an OTA. No love there either. I get a message saying that "system update package did not match the phone". By the way that was the same message that I got when I tried to manually update. I've deleted the cache and tried with the SD card out. I've spent many days working on this issue and gone through many threads. I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Well I solved my problem. A that it took was the Axon 7 EDL Tool. https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/axon-7-edl-tool-flash-backup-restore-t3750759. I wish that I had found it sooner. Now I get a thing about locking my bootloader when I restart the phone but for now I'm happy.
