Bootloader unlocking not possible

Hi,
i'm facing the Problem that "unlocking the oem bootloader is not allowed". Now i recognized the "allow oem bootloader unlocking" option in developer options is unset, and i'm not able to set it because it asks for a PIN. Am i the only one with this problem? How can i unlock Bootloader / Install TWRP?
I got the international Version of Z1.
Thanks!

disable the pin and then try it again, i can also recommend to root the phone via Kingroot and then modify the aboot image. link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/help/guide-unlock-bootloader-zuk-z1-wiping-t3251801

Thanks for your answer, that's aktually what i want to do but i don't know how

Lock screen > screenlock > none or swipe

Oh my god... I thinkpad i have to sleep more.. I simply didn't understand PIN as the security Code of the Device... Thanks!

no problem, can you please add [SOLVED] or something like that to the thread.

Root

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.

Bootloader unlocked but Frp locked

So, some months ago I unlocked my bootloader, I just did it because I knew that the huawei bootloader unlock site likes to go down when you need it the most. And now I want to install twrp. But I cant use any fastboot commands in adb. OEM unlock button is off and greyed out in dev options. And since the unlock site is off right now I can't relock it.
Any suggestions?
EDIT 1: Ive just tried removing the google account and the factory resetting with recovery but the OEM but is still greyed out even when no account is associated

In Android 7 (EMUI 5) OEM Unlock is always GREY even if its unlocked.
Do you remember your unlock code?
If yes, just use Service ROM to reset everything including lock your bootloader and then try to Unlock the phone again.

If you don't remember your code you can send email to UK support and within 2-3 business days you will receive your unlock code.

So if "OEM unlocking" is enabled in developers options my bootloader is unlocked? Do I still need to get some unlock code from huawei? My device is WAS-LX3. I'm new to huawei and don't have a clue about this.

Boot into Bootloader and you will see two rows
Phone status (Bootloader status)
FRP status (OEM status in developer menu)
======
Phone Locked/Unlocked/Relocked means that your Bootloader is Locked/Unlocked/Relocked (Relocked means manually locked by you and it's almost the same as Locked which is factory locked)
FRP Lock/Unlock means that OEM status is Disabled/Enabled in developer menu.
======
In oreder to install TWRP you must have status Unlock on both rows.

Disable OEM unlocking in developer options?

I've unlocked my bootloader and rooted my OnePlus 5 using magisk with Zero issues. My question Is, can I turn off the "Enable OEM Unlocking" in developer options once my bootloader Is unlocked? What happens if I reboot my phone with that option disabled? Thanks in advance!

Hello, if you do that, nothing will happen.

In the Samsung, if you do that, they do not start, here I do not know ... better not do it

fortnite

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.
