hi everyone, my 6p has finally had the infamous BLOD and im wanting to recover it enough to back up everything. my problem is that I cant run the flashing commands because I never allowed bootloader unlocking in the developer options. so does anyone know of a way to bypass this or get it booted so I can hit that switch? please let me know.

Hi there,
Friend of mine using Lenovo A6000+, Doesn't have google account in that phone. It was secured with the pattern lock. But unfortunately he forgot the unlock pattern. Since he have a lot of contacts in that phone, there is no way to reset it. Its full stock version. Just a basic user., so no root access or anything. In this scenario any other way to unlock the phone without doing a factory reset? The google answers are helpful only if the usb debugging is enabled. Since it is not rooted and basically a very common user used that phone, i don't think usb debugging is enabled. Any help appreciated.
By the way, i'm also thinking of flashing a custom recovery into the phone. Will that be of any help? Would it cause the phone to lose data? Will that need usb debugging enabled to do it?

I dont think, there's anything you can do about it. Ask him first, if he had ever connected to pc and authorized it for usb debugging. Otherwise, the only option left is to factory reset.
Edit: Brother, I'm working on something to change the pattern, which obviously I'll tell you. I'll make a flashable zip which you can flash through twrp. Lets see how this goes.
I'm not sure, if I'll be able to do it. But if it does, it would be very helpful for everyone.
:silly:
Edit 2: Finally I got it working!!! hurray!!
Just flash this zip below and the next time your phone boots, you can enter any "more than 3-dot" pattern and the phone will accept. Later, you can set new pattern or anything.

P.S. I used CWM recovery on stock KK to flash it. Don't know why but I couldn't manage to flash twrp. Who cares anyway, if our job gets done. :silly:
<Bought Metro PCS Samsung Galaxy On5 from store. My first time trying to root a phone I need binary update. Flashed Stock Rom sucsuccessfully and still left with same issue. After watching video to remove FRP lock, realized the FRP Lock had been off since I bought it brand new from Metro. As not really a rookie anymore I'm stumped, please help?>
Turn on developer options and tick OEM unlock and USB Debugging on. See if that helps your situation. I just rooted this phone today with no issues whatsoever.

$_I actually just kind of back to my basics and got the stock rom in, Odin for my Twrp and then flash SU zip with new recovery. My first root successful? my inexperiene got me in a soft brick later but learned enough past 2 months on here do get out of that#
So a mate of mine found an A5 recently without any identification on it. Thought he might as well keep it himself else it'll just be useless.
Problem is the phone's stuck in the initial setup so he asked me to unlock it. My plan was to install TWRP, wipe everything completely and flash the firmware again. I can't get to the settings to access the OEM unlock though. Is there any way to unlock the bootloader and/or get TWRP on there so I can completely wipe the phone?
Same situation here... How did it turned out?
Hello yall,
So as many of you should already be aware that the OEM Unlock missing button is kinda permanent in Bootloader U4/August Update. So no matter how long; you cannot get passed the jail time.
I have been looking forward to lock back my OEM lock to be able to use Google Pay and have my device certified in play store but I cannot turn it back on and it's a security flaw in my opinion as locking OEM means tighter security actually.
I have got in touch with samsung technician and they confirmed the feature is removed in the current update and there is no work around.
I have tried flashing combination Rom for U4 Bootloader but OEM Unlock is still missing in dev options.
Now the question is; Has anyone in this big world found a solution to this? To turn OEM Unlock off in Bootloader 4?
Does anyone know if it is possible to re-lock the bootloader on the Galaxy Tab A T510? If so, would I begin with flashing back to stock firmware then disabling OEM unlock in developer options or following different steps? I certainly want to avoid bricking the device. I've searched for a solution but can't seem to find anything. Thanks!

You need to download the latest stock firmware either from Samsung or Sammobile and use Odin to flash it. DO NOT DISABLE OEM!!!! That has nothing to do with locking the bootloader. Flashing the stock ROM will do that. The OEM enable only disables the FRP lock which makes you login with the same google account used BEFORE a factory reset. If you are sure you know that account login and password, the FRP lock isn't a problem.
edit: The problem with the FRP lock is that people will often create a new google account login and password when first setting up their tablet. And because you only have to do that once, they tend to forget one or the other. Then, if they do a factory reset without the OEM enabled, they are locked out of the tablet.
Thanks for the detailed information and clarification. Your help is much appreciated!
The T510 doesn't have a locked bootloader.

No, but it does "lock" the tablet from getting OTA updates.
I have reflashed the stock firmware however I'm still receiving the following message during boot..."The bootloader is unlocked and the software on this device cannot be verified". Is there a way to remove this message? I am planning to return the device and I want to reset everything. Thanks!
