Hello everyone, I'm considering buying a A7E but...
1) Is it possible to unlock the bootloader on the A7E using current methods for the Axon 7?
2) Has anyone unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp on the A7E yet?
3) or achieved root?
Thank you for your time on this matter

As far as I know it's the exact same phone except for the screen and ram/rom. It *should* be the exact same bootloader wise.

I'm still a bit leery. I wish I knew someone who actually owns one and performed any of these processes.

First of all you need TWRP and then you can unlock your bootloader with this .

I don't have an sd car with me atm. Is there another way?
Also would you recommend rooting B27 instead?

You could flash the unlock file from your internal storage, but you lose your backup because the storage will be wiped after unlocking.
I'm having a hard time to get B27 working on my Axon, so i cant say anything to this. Maybe it is better to update first to B27.
Hi guys,
just bought my H831 tonight, and I'm wondering about rooting/ custom roms, and if it is a thing for this model yet. I tried to follow LG's bootloader unlock process, but i keep coming up with no adb devices, and no matter what drivers i try, i can't get it to show up, if anyone has suggestions, please let me know. As for the rest, anyone have good suggestions for custom roms? just got into the scene with this phone and I have no idea whats happening.
Thanks

There is no root or bootloader unlock for h831, the official unlock method is available only for european h850s, tot method with root and twrp si only available for H830.
Welp. As always, before buying a device, check if there's root or roms available, not after.

Do you know is a root is being worked on/coming reasonably soon? or would it be better to just sell the phone?

Nobody knows nothing, atm there are no dev that are working on obtaining root on other models afaik
Well ****, I miss root, but SafetyNet's been a major pain in the ass as of late, so now my h831 stays stock. Better than an iphone though.
I have been looking for how to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP on my new Axon 7 (USA model) on Nougat. I switched to the Axon 7 from my rooted Samsung Note 5 and am really missing having a rooted phone. Any help is greatly appreciated.
The process hasn't changed. Flash the signed twrp, then the fastboot that permits the unlock command, etc.
There are stickies for this, have you read them??
You sure didn't look very hard.
Best guides are in the development section.
For the record the guides are convoluted and there are about 20 different ones all covering different models and different android versions. Clear as mud.
Op didn't ask anything specific about any of the guides.
Yes I've been wondering the same thing. There is guides but the ones I've seen have you downgrade to marshmallow.

Ah okay I will. Thanks.
I just bought this is a second/work phone. I would like to get rid of all the extra software, root the device and possibly flash another ROM in the future. SInce this is my first Xiaomi device, I am wondering what is the procedure to unlock the bootloader?
From searching, it sounds like the only way is to REQUEST it via this procedure (requires SIM, MI account, and TIME/waiting for approval.):

I'm wondering if anyone knows if that is absolutely the ONLY way, or if one has the Redmi 7A phone physically, there is some way to root/unlock boot loader.

If SGP771 with bootloader unlock NOT ALLOWED, is there still any chance to use LineageOS?
Or this machine must stay with stock ROM?
Thanks a lot!
i would try to unlock it and see what happens. maybe it can be unlocked and then you can install lineageOS...
In this forum, I found a tutorial about even bootloader locked can temp root the Z4 Tablet to backup the YA partition. Can this be used to install twrp then LineageOS at once?
Thanks a lot!

No
Do not buy any device with locked bootloaders (current Huawei e.g.) if you want root or custom ROMs or permanent debloat.
With SONY devices it could also be a good idea to check if you can backup the TA if you ever want to sell the device in "original" software condition - by that time the chance is high that SONY abandoned the device already.

I had the same issue, In the end I sold my Z4 and bought one that allowed bootloader unlock.
Hello everyone,
What about if we actually go back to stock Lollipop and attempt to root from there e.g.: Kingo Root?
Thanks,
Jack

How'd you know the new one would allow bootloader unlock?
It's old thread but maybe it will be helpful. If you see "bootloader unlock allowed: no" then check if my xperia protection is enabled. If enabled then do factory reset and disable it, after that (need unlock with Google account after factory reset) my tablet shows "bootloader unlock allowed: yes".
