this phone is so new that there's barely anyone talking about it here on xda, so since there's no responses i'm mostly wondering how many people actually tried this and if anyone experienced any issues.
either way, thnx a lot for your work meraj99. i'm actually backing up my phone to unlock the bootloader and then root it as i'm writing this, so i'm pretty excited to finally get root

Don't download that version of SuperSU I had issues with it, my device boot looped, you need a forced systemless version
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424939898
And also if you can please upload a backup of your system please I had to use an outdated rom from modaco to restore my device

You can get an account with 4 credits for free via DC-Unlocks facebook page, you need 20 friends though. If you don't have facebook then you can get it for 1 usd from their android app.
The purchase is In-app and uses googles payment system so you can use the spare change from opinion rewards too.

To unlock your phone via DC-unlocker, you need four credits. I just mentioned how you could get them for cheaper than buying them via their program.

But are you mentioning this as someone who had "verified" success in this method? Sorry but pyramid schemed non dev focused sources are a bit schetchy, especially given the lack of dev due to the new phone and the other decampment issues going on currently

I understand your concern, both of the facebook page and the app is run by dc-unlocker themselves. If you look at their webpage you'll find links to both of them.

Personnaly the unofficial methode worked good for me because de Huawei club's website was broken for the captcha. I payed 0.99€ and got the Bootloader unlock code !

Did you check your USB notification to ensure that it was not used for charging only? Before and after the Manufacture Mode, tap Files in the USB notification, and then select in DC-Unlocker:
Huawei Phones and Auto Select
Also, I had made both $0.99 purchases within the DC-Unlocker Android app which gave me a User and Password in an email that I was able to input into the Server section of the Windows DC-Unlocker app under Unlock which may have helped.
Once the device is found in the lower left, choose Read Bootloader Code and DO NOT select Unlock in the upper right. Paste the Bootloader Code at the end of your "fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

You can use the twrp for L09 and flash SuperSU 2.76 after unlocking bootloader. It works. I just had issues trying to backup a ROM.

If you cant Bind Mi account with 86012 error and stuck at 99% in unlock tool

Hey, guys, i figured a workaround on how to unlock Bootloader if stuck with 86012 error and can't bind account.
Follow the instructions,
1) First apply for unlocking permissions from http://en.miui.com/unlock/ . U will receive a sms after a day or two.
2) Now goto developer mode and enable bootloader unlock and check if u can bind mi account. If not, then do this
3) Download older version of Mi unlock tool here
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B611uyXmi12kRjU4VHpwaWF0UHc/view?usp=sharing
4) Mi Pc Suite and Mi Flash Tool installers if needed to install drivers.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B611uyXmi12kWm9EQWhLZUJ0dVE/view?usp=sharing
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B611uyXmi12kQzctQm5EY2lFOXc/view?usp=sharing
5) Run the application. Sign in. Hold volume down and power button to enter bootloader mode.
6) Hit unlock in Mi Unlock Tool. if it says can't find device then goto windows device manager and under Android phone update the Driver Software via internet and make sure it says Xiaomi Corp.
7) Now try to hit unlock button again and this time it will definitely work.
Hit Thanks if it worked for you bcoz even i was pissed i couldnt unlock bootloader and fedup of waiting.

Didn't work for me. Trying to unlock bootloader with latest mi unlock tool since 10-15 days got permission but stuck at 99% account binding. And now tried with older version still no luck it stops at 50% and says couldn't verify device. Its frustrating now.

Actually I am already having one redmi 3s and I unlocked its bootloader 6 months ago. After buying new device I created new account and carried the same process of unlocking bootloader ( from permission to unlocking) but it didn't work on that account. I tried with the older account and voilla!! Bootloader unlocked. In newer account after getting permission I tried 10-12 days but no luck.

Day 5 : It's passing 50% woohooo**** 99% stuck. It said current account is not bound. Browsing the web for solution.
Error 86012 with Chinese stuff in it when binding via developer settings. Frustrated AF.
Day 7 : Fck this **** I'll just flash MIUI Global Beta 7.2.1.6 as the web said. Lost my backup files and the unlock is fail after all. Depressed AF.
Day 8 : Tried step by step carefully, learned from trials and errors. Login i.mi.com, then locate device. Login Mi Unlock Tool, wait a few minutes then started to shutdown device to fastboot, connect the device to computer and it got unlocked successfuly. Then i happily flash TWRP and RR ROM after.
the real solution is WAIT PATIENTLY.

As per Day 7 you flashed the Global Beta Rom. How did you do that without unlocking the Bootloader? Which rom file did you use? The .zip or the .tgz? I have been trying to flash the global beta/trying to downgrade for a week and I have failed every time. Mind helping me out?

[How to] flash Global to China Mi6 without UBL

I bought the MI6 and find out that without tools or unlock bootloader, there is no way to flash a global rom to china rom. My Mimax convenient EDL cannot be used in Mi6.
Unlock is easy, but since mine is new and under warranty, i prefer a Xiaomi rom.
Luckily i fond this tool:
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0BwypTnSm1wlhTkp0ai1LUXZKdkk
Credit to the dev http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=663972&highlight=xiaomitool
Download this, run, and follow the screen.
it will check your boot, recovery, then list the rom that possible to install.
Choose global, lets it download, choose recovery and the tool do the rest.

Thank you. I will give it a try on " bricked" mi5 and new mi6.

This tool make unlock bootloader automatically... so your warranty is gone after

Just ask for permission to unlock bootloader, usually takes a week or so. Unlock > flash > lock again. No need to experiment with some tools or whatnot official.

I already had been using the phone for long enough, the permission took 4 hours to go through. Never been an active user of their services either.

Actually I am looking for a way to wipe whole partition as my second-hand mi6 is binding with a mi account which is not mine.
Flashing in EDL mode is easy to flash any official from you want but asking to unlock the device after setting up.
Though there is some tricks can be done to bypass the checking, I cannot log on my mi account or even restart device.
I had just had a tried as this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/how-to/installing-twrp-locked-bootloader-t3406501
To flash TWRP directly by MiFlash. But fail to boot in it with a 'the system has been corrupted'.
Just wanna give more ways to flash or unlock with the limitation of officially unlock BL

unlocking the bootloader is simple, it works exactly with the black shark helo, you enable the unlock in the developer section and then I have it in fastboot mode and you send the command "fastboot oem unlock" the smartphone will restart and make a factory reset and you will have the bootloader unlocked

For tutorial link, you can PM me, i can't post it publicly to avoid any moderator ban

Update : **
No any solution above has worked with me, seems there is no active solution for unlocking boot loader of BS2. even developer around all sites doesn't offer effective solution.
The only 2 messages that you will get when you use adb are :
adb>fastboot flashing unlock
Error : Unlock is not allowed on device has sales on market!
adb>fastboot oem unlock
Error, Unknown command
Even MI tool couldn't unlock the bootloader, If Kanded can give a solution as he is a skilled member so it will be great help

I Hope enjoy, I have the same problem, BS2 global to root,

Anyone who tried unlocking bootloader and rooting bs2 using the bs helo? CN variant

So sad. Until now there's no TWRP and way to unlock bootloader of this device.

Agree. I'm planning to switch to Red Magic 3 because there really is no sign of development on this device.

Yeah. I don't how can we encourage dev to look into this device, their are many users of this phone that wants to have twrp and root. Also this device is very powerful.

Black Shark is independent of Xiaomi when it comes to the software development. Their team just have to release the kernel source then that's when the real thing starts. Sadly though, the Black Shark team is very lousy and their support is very poor so let's just expect that this device will get stuck to Android Pie, like what happened to Black Shark 1 which development is "dead".

T-Mobile Oneplus 8t 5g Sim unlock? and legit bootloader unlock

Quick and simple bc after sifting through this website I accidently figured it out. First use the script from this post - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus-pure-debloat.4157691/ then check dev options and OEM unlocking should be ungreyed out. Grab your oneplus unlock by running this command - "fastboot oem get_unlock_code" Then go to - https://www.oneplus.com/unlock_token submit your token and serial number and wait exactly one week to the day. Download this tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ck-twrp-factory-image-stock-recovery.3358711/ and you can unlock the bootload with your unlock.bin file. After that whats next is up too you!

I don't know about SIM unlocking, however I did figure out which package specifically enables the toggle for OEM unlocking in the Developer Options.
So I took a look at the debloat thread linked above and I went through the list of packages and I was uninstalling them on my phone one by one until I found the one that enabled the toggle for OEM unlocking in the Developer Options.
When I uninstalled the package com.qualcomm.qti.uim, the toggle for OEM unlocking was no longer greyed out.

That's a great find. Is it enough to simply force-stop the package or does it need to be disabled/uninstalled?
Might try this on the OP9 or OP10 if I get one.

I didn't see if force stopping it worked or not so I wouldn't be able to answer that. I just uninstalled it with adb.

Title of tread said sim-unlocking, after reading through, it only mentions bootloader unlocking via the OnePlus website and all in one flashing tool. Yes it may bypassed the carrier restriction for bootloader unlocking, but is the phone actually sim unlocked? As you can use it with another carrier?
But I agree, finding out com.qualcomm.qti.uim being the toggle for bootloader unlock is great find.

I disabled com.qualcomm.qti.uim via ADB myself and while 'OEM Unlocking" is no longer grey and you can enable the option the bootloader for me is still locked. My OnePlus 8T model is through T-Mobile

gotta complete the whole process homie.. AFTER doing the uninstall or disable of com.qualcomm.qti.uim, then you gotta flip the toggle and then reboot to bootloader. after that you need to run the fastboot command, "fastboot oem get_unlock_code"... copy that code to your clipboard, then go to the Oneplus website, fill out the form and paste that code in the proper field.
After that it does take exactly one week... (to the minute) and you will need to go back to this site and you will see it change to download. Download that file and flash it via fastboot, then confirm you want to unlock and its done!
Now after that you have to remember to NEVER flash a stock firmware via fastboot again, otherwise you will re-lock your bootloader. I cannot confirm whether or not you will be able to, or even need to flash the unlock token again, but in the case of Samsung phones, when you flash the bootloader unlock token, you DO NOT get a second chance. If you unlock it once, and then accidently re-lock via flashing stock, you will be stuck with a locked bl. (EDIT: you CAN flash stock with samsung, as long as the bootloader version isnt changed. If you upgrade the BL then you are stuck!)
(Now theres a simpler way around all this but you must do your research, and look into converting your TMO-US fw to TMO-EU ... this can be done without unlocking the bootloader. And after the conversion, if you disable the OP mentioned file, you can simply toggle, and run the "fastboot oem unlock" command and thats it... no token file needed! And i am in Texas, so i can confirm 100% that ALL of the bands are active and available, and i get 5g with absolutely no problem... In fact my phone runs quicker and gets better battery life on the EU fw. )
Then when your phone is fully paid off, simply flash back to the US fw and you can have them Sim unlock you and you can either go thru the normal unlocking process, or you can go back to the EU... but either way no foul, no harm!

So to get T-Mobile to do it on their end do this.
Go on their site and facebook, keep telling them this. "I'm a developer who can't develop app's on my device, can you please allow my phone to be unlocked." Most will tell you it needs to be paid off, but you quite possibly will get that disgruntled worker or guy who just doesn't care. Took me 5 tries, then the guy I got was like, "okay I'll do it for you!" #boomdone
Social engineering at its finest.

I have had this same issue. I bought the 8T+5G from OnePlus online store TMobile version (because the unlocked versions were sold out). Been back and forth betwee TMobile and OnePlus for 4 days, and OnePlus finally says they nor Tmobile can unlock the device until it has been used on Tmobile's service for 45 days (part of the unlock policy). I knew this, but thought surely someone can help me. OnePlus assured me that the IMEI number does not enter into the system as an unlockable phone until after the 45 days, and that NOBODY can unlock the phone until then... Am I screwed for 40 more days???? This in my opinion is a scam to force people to use a service they may not want.

i am shop in istanbul come to me oneplus 8t 5g t-mobile i ask whole world for simlock no one can and one of customer tell me i can unlock he take device for 3 hour he come back and device unlocked and he tell me i can do anything in oneplus phones i got crazy how he did this ? anyone know how ?

Does this still work on the recent 8T phones? Please do keep us updated on your situation. I'm thinking about buying this phone unlock the boot-loader, Sim unlock and get Lineage on it. I don't mind 45 days if they actually unlock it

Yeah. I'm going to wait it out. Counting down the days I'm chained to T-Mobile (38 left). I actually wanted their service so it isn't an inconvenience, but I hate being forced to do anything, much less wait to do what I wanted to do from day one, which is Flash Roms. I'm looking at Lineage too. So I will update this post once I get to that point. Here's hoping they keep their word, because my 15 day return policy on the phone runs out in two days.

Alright folks I've been with Samsung over a decade and just got my first Oneplus (8T+5G KB2007) so don't start yelling at me just yet. Got this thing on Amazon and appears to be new. I'm sim/network unlocked through TMO. My OEM Unlock was never greyed out. I can toggle no problem. However, I went through the debloat described above because of the following problem: Sticks on "waiting for any device" after running "fastboot oem get_unlock_code" Please tell me this is an easy fix. I already reinstalled the google driver through SDK Manager bla bla bla.... Am I missing something simple? Any help would be appreciated. THX

I should've done more research myself. Galaxy was about to quit on me so I grabbed this one specifically because it was rated as one of the very top phones for development. If it wasn't such a rush I would've spent more time.

Have you checked if your phone is properly connected to your computer? Check using "fastboot devices" to see if your device is detected, and if it is not, then go within the Windows Device Manager and install the appropriate driver from Google, which can be found by searching "Google Fastboot Driver".

It doesn't show it shows under adb devices but not fastboot devices. Let me find the fastboot driver real quick and try. Thanks

So it was actually 40 days, I don't know why I said 45. Anyway, even after (48 days), it took me calling TMOBILE and having someone talk to their (OEM team) and start a conversation with them. 3 days later I was able to SIM unlock the phone. I was able to toggle OEM unlocking. Did the Fastboot command to get the Unlock Code, and sent it to OnePlus for "7 days". What the crap is all of this hassle? I left Android and went to Apple for 7 years. When I left, you could unlock a bootloader in minutes. For being so keen on allowing us to unlock our phones, it seems they give you a Circus of Hoops to jump thru "on Their timeline". Anyway, I actually think I may have screwed up the code because it was displayed on two lines from Fastboot. I sent it as one line. Hoping they sort it out and I don't have to reapply and wait another 7 days. What a mess!
