I got the unlock code and everything. Installed drivers, got everything in place but when I use the command " fastboot oem unlock "key"
It fails and shows me a remote error along with this
Enable OEM unlock in dev option .
But I can't see that option in dev options and iam fed up with this. I tried searching Google but no luck. I checked the cid to see if it is unlockable and the string was endling with " 007 " means unlockable.
Iam running marshmello ota. All factory. No root nothing..
Any help would be really appreciated. I just want to install cyanogen

Take a look at this thread in Lenovo/Motorola forums (currently 74 pages long), it seems you're not the only one that has this issue (e.g. post #10 [last post in page 1], post #14 [4th post in page 2] and post #15).
Go to settings/apps/all/settings and clear data only , then go back to about phone/ build number 7 times ,enable developer options oem unlock may be present. Try this.
had the same issue
SOLVED
I was fiddeling with my moto X 2nd and stuck on the same issue.
Running a OTA 6.0 stock unbranded FW Moto X 2nd
Same problem, no OEM UNLOCK under Dev options.
then gave up on the phone and started playing around with fastboot mode and went into recovery to have a peek, and solved the issue.
detailed info for other googelers:
(VOL DOWN while pressing POWER, release POWER after a few seconds still holding VOL DOWN for a few more extra seconds takes you to FASTBOOT, from there select RECOVERY, and when the broken android appears, press POWER to get into RECOVERY)
Cleared my CACHE partition and after that made a FACTORY RESET under RECOVERY and then REBOOT
Restarted phone and did the initial setup, selected not to enable REMOTE PROTECTION (this might also be the reason the allow oem unlock button was enabled, as said, have no clue what made it work)
And Voila! the "allow oem unlock" button was there after enabeling DEVELOPER OPTIONS and I could enable it and unlock the bootloader.
maybe the formatting of cache partition did the trick since it was OTA updated, i have no clue, but it is now there.
this helped me clean kingroot

I was messing with my pos alcatel pixi phone trying to root and unlock and installed kingroot, big mistake it was very hard to get rid of. I finally got it to uninstall but it left behind a com.kingroot. Doing this procedure enabled me to uninstall it when previously I was unable. THANKS
Hello Everyone!
I currently have a Sprint Variant Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. I have switched to Tmobile and I am wanting to get this device unlocked in order for me to be able to properly use this phone on another network.
From what I understand, the newer phones use remote unlocking in order to unlock devices and no longer have a code generated using IMEI number.
I have found fairly cheap people who will unlock it on ebay, and with fairly reliable reputation as well.
this is what i have done so far.
1) I have downgraded from the latest version to: G935PVPU2APC5 which i believe is the required version in order to be able to have a device unlocked
2) I factory reset the device
3) I enabled Developer Mode
4) I have enabled USB Debugging
5) I have enabled OEM Unlocking
this is where the issue comes in...
I am unable to use any Dialer Codes in order to access DIAG menus to change stuff around. I need to activate " DM + Modem + ADB " and when i type ##3424# nothing happens. it just calls out.. I was reading online that i have to activate CP Logging in Recovery, but when I boot into recovery the option is not there for me to activate.
I am really wanting to get my device unlocked, and I dont want there to be an issue. does anyone know if that step is necessary or how i can get the dialer menu to work?

Are you still unlocking the S7E? What all does it entail?

Unlocked mines using idoneapps.com. For $35 it can instantly unlock your device, only takes two reboots. You download an app and purchase and click unlock. You can also debrand you phone, read msl and enable hotpsot but that requires rooting.

Did you by chance purchase the Amazon-exclusive variant of the device (with the ads to reduce the price)? They're both the same, except you can't unlock the Amazon version's bootloader.
Also, try opening developer options (tap the build number 7 times, press the back key, and then the new developer options menu that appeared) and then enabling the "OEM unlocking" option. Then try unlocking the bootloader again via fastboot.
I have just rooted my J3 2016 SM-J320F and I heard that if I disable OEM unlock from developer options my phone will get bricked.
The question is: If I reset to factory settings then my developer options will disappear and OEM unlock will be disabled will my phone get bricked?

No. Even if the developer options disappear, OEM unlock will still be enabled.
I seen the recommendation is to turn USB debugging and OEM lock off under developer options to play fortnite on our device with magisk. What I was wondering is with my bootloader unlocked, which it is, I can uncheck OEM lock, but would it be okay after a reboot? I just didn't want to uncheck it, and then get stuck or not be able to boot. I was curious if someone might have tried already. Thx
By the way for anyone wanting to know, I turned OEM unlock off w/ a unlocked bootloader & device successfully booted up with switch still in off position.
