Read on a local forums that the 6P has QFuse. He has the device. What does does mean for development? All I know about QFuses is that once it is blown, you can't go back to the original state.

Figured this was the right subforums :angel:
its just a switch. a non-reversible switch. it's used for a single purpose - warranty claims. if you unlock your bootloader and your device "suddenly" becomes unresponsive, manufacturers have the right to deny your warranty claim.
google's nexus program typically does not follow this rule as they encourage the development and use of their devices, but as they work to make android more secure, i would not put it past them to start down the same path as the rest of the OEMs. Moto has stated that they will void your warranty if you unlock the bootloader on the XPE, even though they offer you the path to do so.
its a security risk and google should offer a path to root without compromising your system's integrity.

They cannot deny your warranty for hardware issues once the fuse is blown.
US law prevents the denial; The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Look at Moto's back pedal after it was posted that it was against federal law to deny warranty claims for unrelated issues.

got a link? when the XPE launched, they flip-flopped and then it was "official". i just assumed they kept their stance.
i know for the '13/'14 X developer editions they tried the same thing and then changed their minds.
Well US laws does not help people outside the US. Has Google every publicly stated that hardware issues with Nexus devices will be services, regardless if the bootloader is unlocked or not?
in the past, they've been good about warranties. i've heard many levels of success stories when dealing with Google directly (vs. buying through third party, amazon, etc.).
qfuse enabled usually means that secure boot is on.. nothing to do with unlocking the bootloader. just about all phones have this set. secure boot enabled forces phone to have signed bootloader. oem unlock enables unsigned boot.img's.. but still requires signed bootloader.
has anyone checked for the qfuse enabled/disabled BEFORE unlocking?
I've seen an image with it enabled as a stock phone (the thread with the guy answering questions)

This thread which had some different dialouge going has been closed since it's being disccused here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/qfuse-n6p-t3229465 is anyone able to comment on if having qfuse triggered does break anything like finger print reading or are we just looking at warranty coverage issues?
This is interesting...I was going to unlock the bootloader upon receiving my device so I can set it up and root later...but here is the something I have noticed-the pic in this article: http://pocketnow.com/2015/10/20/nexus-6p-bootloader#!prettyPhoto the bootloader is locked and qfuse status is enabled
On this one here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...owing-off-usb-type-c-port-and-snapdragon-810/
the bootloader is unlocked and the qfuse status is also enabled...it doesn't state anything about ''fuse blown'' or a permanent counter anywhere...
I guess we will have to wait and see-but I want to be able to root my device without voiding warranty and still be able to use the fingerprint scanner...

That's a great observation! Although I guess it's possible they trip the qfuse upon oem lock? Hopeful that this is all just people overreacting...

Yeah I doubt Google would honestly try to deny a warranty claim for an obvious hardware defect if your bootloader was unlocked or the qfuse blown, but I guess it'd be of more concern if people bought directly from Huawei and what their stance is, if in fact the qfuse does get blown.
If QFuse is going to break anything like the finger print reader or your warranty then why would Google give you the official instructions on how to unlock the bootloader?

That's a relief! Unlocking does not affect the fingerprint scanner, nor does it disable Android Pay?
first, are there any differences between the "f" variant, and the "s" variant? everything i've read has them exactly alike. then, my number one pet peive with my new s7e so far is that when i restart it, it won't allow me to unlock it with my fingerprint, and wants a password instead. i really hate this, and have not seen anything from anyone about it, or how to fix it.
Actually, this has been answered numerous times. Can't get rid of it. Just like Apple iPhone in that respect.

Unfortunately it's one of the newer security features just like the double lock feature after using an app to turn off the screen. There's no way around this but it's definitely more secure if someone were trying to access your phone. A small nuscience for higher security. If you disabled screen lock I think it goes away.

yeah, i get why they are doing it, but i don't get why they put it in and don't allow the USER/OWNER to make a decision to keep it or not. android is open source, and as such nothing should be locked down like this. but in this, there is something i still am missing. why is it any more secure to have to put a password in, than your fingerprint after restarting? actually, it would seem to me, that anytime you have to type a password, you stand a chance of someone else seeing it, or keylogging it. but a fingerprint is only yours, and no one else has it. so what am i missing about this being more secure? and btw, thanks for the response.
The fingerprint sensor works great for me. Although I did have to recalibrate it once again since I didn't do it properly the first time. Also the difference between the F and the S variant is the region they are meant to be sold on. The F is generally for Europe while the S is for Korea.
Is it that much of an inconvenience? How many times a day do you restart your phone?

yeah, i get the region thing. what i was asking for, was to see about using the same custom roms and kernels. everything i have read says that they have the exact same hardware in them. so i am wondering if they can use the same custom roms and kernels?
I bought a N6p from a person on offerup. Came home to found out it is Googled locked with FRP. The person isn't responding to my emails, etc. I was able to get pass the setup once and see that the OS is 7.0. Has anyone found and FRP bypass with 7.0? Fastboot flashing unlock is not allowed. I don't think OEM unlocking is enable in developer mode. Thanks in advance. I've tried all the things from rootjunky, but they are all patched.
Model: NBD90X
OS: 7.0
OEM unlocking: Disabled
FRP Locked
Working on it atm.
I got the same issue, trying 2 or 3 ideas i have, i will get back to you with news ASAP.
Even if you get to the setting pages, it wont let you enable developers options. Anyone have a clue?
Yep just got into the same boat, bought a 6P off swappa and locked out of phone.......
same problem with me! does anyine know if you can bypass the frp with a pc program?
Anybody?
Good Luck guys, I got a hold of original owner......
Bump
So let's say for example a thief gets a hold of my phone and he wants to bypass FRP he can just come on XDA and boom it's posted all over this site. Get where I'm coming from? Nobody will help.

I haz fone bought from stolen. Can you include FRP reset software mod for my 5 Finger discount phone?
Like swappa would let a phone be FRP, I have had TONS of people I met purchase a phone from swappa and not one problem. And for those who purchased theirs from craigslist and offerup or what not you SERIOUSLY STOLE, I mean did'nt factory reset the phone in front of them? This is not a new technique. I do it EVERY phone I buy and sell and I even RESET THE PHONE IN FRONT OF YOU. Yoy have a situation that no one will help. Ask swappa for a followup. And Offerup is a stealfest.
Like troyd28 said. It's not going to happen.
No help on this forum. Noe should there be.
You can't get to adb through the bootloader? If you can get a hold of a copy of an efs you might be able to change the imei and serial numbers. Check the OnePlus one forums , some people over there had similar problems.
Though I don't know how to flash with a locked bootloader, maybe roll back to offical 6.0, there was a method to bypass for one of the versions.
Have you tried contacting Google? It may be a pain in the ass but also check what kind of protections the service you purchased from offers.
There is an FRP bypass now for 7.0.
Ok guys I will tell you this only once.
Talks about Changing the IMEI are illegal and not allowed on XDA.
No, this forum does needs to exist. There is a way to bypass FRP. Motorola had to have built it in for their own use and repairs.
Somebody will figure out or spill the Moto codes to bypass FRP in Nougat 7.1.1.
How nice for you tech_head. I know it must be cold at the top of your idealistic mountain. Most thieves do not know what XDA or what hacking even is or know it exists - that is why they are bottom feeders and ignorant and trade a stolen phone for a bad of dope.
The person who purchases this stolen phone is an innocent victim as well. There will be a way to hack 7.1.1 eventually and I will be the first to pre-praise the hacker who figures it out.
Get over yourselftech_head.

I bypass FRP with 7.1.2 on a pixel with lock bootloader. ..
Has anyone been able to use the warranty after unlocking the bootloader and relocking it? I ask cuz mine has the random camera buzzing/non-focusing problem and while it isn't annoying right now, it might get worse. I am unsure yet if the bootloader is required to be unlocked to gain any useful features or installing LineageOS

For exactly that reason I re-locked my bootloader on my A2017G device. This camera buzzing / vibrating noise is happening to a lot of people.
Just my opinion. There are no ROMs for me that justify a Bootloader unlock since 7.1.1 is stable, fast, reliable and has good Hi-Fi Audio qualities.
It is not an issue of bootloader unlock that causes this.
The camera rotor/OIS is faulty and will be needed to be sent in for repair.

Well that's a bit different though, because say a place like Newegg or BHPhoto don't know how to check, they just make sure it powers on and everything is in the package. Still appreciate the response.

Odd. So basically you contact them and ask for permission, or hope they're dumb and say you keep the warranty with the unlock and that's good enough?
Or did you unlock then relock, then try to use the warranty and they found out?

Thanks, I'd still like confirmation from a few others though just in case its not a fluke haha
I "officially" unlocked mine through the ZTE website (when it was offered).. I was notified that my warranty was voided before pressing OK and they stated that anything that unlocked the bootloader voided the warranty. But, if you do it unofficially and re-lock it, or get it through Amazon or NewEgg - How are they going to know, or even know what to check (at Amazon or NewEgg)?

That is true... i'm just cautious because my phone isn't perfect, I have the common camera problem. If it was fine and then down the line it developed, then w/e. But right now I Should exchanged it, it's just not big enough of a problem where I need to. And tbh I feel like it would just develop again, since so many people have it. If I see a S7 drop down around 350 I am just gonna get this fixed and buy a S7.

There's a certain software made by a certain person right above you, with the ability to fix that fukkup. It's in the "ROMs, development" section and it's called EDL Tool.
