I encountered a problem with unlocking the bootloader. To unlock it, it says in the instructions to enable usb debugging and oem unlock in dev settings but then i could not find any "oem unlock" in the developer settings causing the bootloader unlocker not to work. Does anyone know how to fix this and unlock their bootloader?
my zenfone 3 5.5" is currently updated to the latest update (nougat and everything else that follows)
which guide are you using?
The official way to do it is through the Asus app here. I believe you have to use official way because you are on the latest firmware and the unofficial way only works on pre-nougat.
Hi,
I've tried all the following steps in the video and I got the error "flashing lock is not allowed". I've already flashed stock rom and recovery and wiped the phone so it's as stock as it gets yet I still get the same error when I enter "fastboot oem lock". Please help ASAP!!!! I'm trying to update to Android 8.0 but the update keeps failing because my bootloader is unlocked
Thanks in advanced.

Go to developer settings.. check the oem unlock option. If it's off, bootloader won't relock. You need to turn it on. If it's greyed out & can't be turned on, then you need to root your firmware or flash custom rom & turn it on.
When you have this problem, only magisk will help you turn on allow bootloader unlocked when it's grayed out.
So, you have to flash magisk, turn on allow bootloader to be unlocked in devlopper settings, then flash a clean OOS, make sure there's no modification like custom recovery or root, then relock your bootloader.
Good luck!
use command "fastboot flashing lock" instead of "fastboot oem lock", this will lock your bootloader

I had the same problem and solved using magistik, reenable unlock volta loader and After relock.
Hi, i can not find an entry for "OEM Unlock" in my developer options. That's why I'm looking for a flashable ZIP file (S8 Oreo Stock ROM) to flash via TWRP.
Does anyone have something like that?
Greetings, Marcel
Have you tried changing the date method to get OEM unlock

Also. I am pretty sure you don't need OEM unlock to flash Stock Firmware
I tried to install lineage 15 so why I formatted my device but forgot to check developer setting > enable OEM. Now I am stuck on boot loop with frp lock, no way to install a custom recovery. I relock OEM and tried to unlock now I am fully stuck because I cannot unlock bootloader because I forgot to check to enable OEM in developer setting. I googled and found a tool called DC Unlocker but only lost my 15 euro. Is there any way I can re-vibe my phone? Help me, please.
Device state,
bootloader lock
OEM lock
no OS

Hi guys
I installed the Nougat Update and then i enabled the OEM unlock and then updated the phone to Oreo
Now here is the problem
Developer options were enabled and accidently i disabled them.
I know there is no option of OEM in oreo update.
Now my question is
Will OEM unlock be enable if i enable the developer options or i have to do it all over again.
Should i need to install nougat then enable OEM and then oreo update.
Or this OEM will be Enabled?
Please help.
