It may sounds weird but i want to lock the bootloader of my nokia 6. I will sell this because i think its not that interesting anymore. Lot's of other phones see more development than this. So can anyone suggest me a way to lock the bootloader?
fastboot oem lock , enjoy man

Alright,lets have a head count on how many users are able to unlock their bootloader and those who cant..
This would help our developers what rom to make..is it for stock or custom..
I for one expect that there are alot of users who uses custom kernel..but as time passes by,people also buy new phones and leave the x8 forum for good..
And now,more and more people are still buying new x8s..and we know that those people cant unlock their bootloader..
so if you can lock your bootlaoder because you have manufacture date of 11w26 below, vote yes
or
you cant unlock your bootloader because your manufacture date is 11w26+
the point of this thread is to know how many are using stock kernel because they cant unlock their bootloader and how many are using custom kernel because they can lock their bootloader..
i understand that their are a lot of people who can unlock their bootloader..
but as of now, more and more people are buying new x8s,tried unlocking their bootloaders and end up hard bricking their device..
i really notice that the x8 forum has two FACTIONS...
a faction of people who uses custom kernels and people who uses stock..
YES, we are divided...
My phone's mfg. date is 11w30.
so, reading lots n lots of topics .. I understood that there's no other way other than the paid method to unlock the bootloader ..
But suddenly i realised in the s1 tool they suggest us to check for the SEMC SIM LOCK CERTIFICATE!
which allows us to unlock the bootloader , Still people say it is riskier ..
Daringly , I decided to give a try and i succesfully unlocked my bootloader ..
Just bcz i had that one necessary thing i.e. SEMC SIM LOCK CERTIFICATE. !
So, my main intention for starting this thread is users who have succesfuly unlocked their bootloader which lie after 11w29..
i.e. 11w30, 31 ,32 etc.
Just check do u have this SEMC SIM LOCK CERTIFICATE .
If, this helds true that we can unlock the bootloader ignoring the date then it will be VERY VERY helpful for the other users to unlock it ..
Please comment
No reason.
The guides are clear. Having 11w29+ there is a high possibility of hard brick if you try to unlock your bootloader. Nobody tells it is 100% while by experience we can tell that the percentage is quite high, maybe around 90% but nobody can tell for sure.
Many people with "SEMC SIM LOCK CERTIFICATE" have bricked their phones and people with the same dates have gotten different results.
It's up to the user to decide if he wants to take this risk.

Hmmm..
Thats true..
Is there any development, or at least any possible root method or is it possible to unlock the bootloader?
I'd like to buy it next month.
i'm interested in this tablet too, so having lineage on it would be cool. thanx.
+1
Interested too in rooting LTE variant SM-T595N.
Anyone tried KingRoot?
KingRoot, with a Samsung device? are you kidding?
You have to be kidding..
@mingkee after using part of your guide to root my tab a and all i went through with that we actually discovered how to circumvent the 7 day OEM unlock yesterday in case you didn't notice.
thanks for the start.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/development/twrp-3-2-1-1-tab-sm-t380-10-02-2018-t3747564 << last few pages discuss OEM unlock, see for yourself. Your post was one of 4 that caused that to happen. TY.
The key issue is bootloader.
If it's never locked, I can download the full ROM and see is there anything to do
oh it locks, it's just it is possible to unlock it immediately, so it locking at all is useless. Yeah, it WAS the key issue.
we both know Samsung has worse schemes on the way, probably sooner than we anticipate.
we might have even sped them towards that by doing this, but such is progress.
unless that particular device your looking at is protected somehow other than a 7 day OEM unlock switch, which i doubt yet.
I have the T595 and was wondering if there is anything..
Do not like the sluggish Samsung OS and wondered if there was a LineageOS release?
You're at liberty to install any compatible GSI you wish.
First: Before making this thread, i looked at many post here, and its seems trough trial and error that what worked for other people with US version of the phone dont work for mine. SO with that in mind, i own my phone for 3 years now, its a canadian version of the galaxy s8, which is SM-G950W. The option for "OEM UNLOCK" dont show in dev option. I looked on the internet, and the solution seems to be about the 7 days blabla... found it was dumb since i have the phone for 3 years, but i gave it a shot, and it did nothing... my goal is to root my device any help about oem unlock OR a way to root it without oem unlock (which is impossible in my mind with a locked bootloader) would be very appreciate! thanks a lot.

No us or Canadian model have OEM unlock. There is no bootloader unlock. That's that no way around there is a system only root method if you look up extreme syndicate
hi so i have a few things id like to talk about. i was wondering why it is not possible to port aosp roms to s8 snapdragon? givin its the same android version. also when i was messing around when rooting my s8 i saw that the software i had installed in the steps i went into settings and saw that i could enable oem unlock it worked and whenever i go back to that software its still enabled however i could not use any fastboot commands still. also i flashed twrp (not safe strap already have that) and now my base recovery does not show up....

Aosp roms requires a custom kernel to work, this requires:
1, unlocked bootloader(not possible on the snapdragon variant)
2, a custom recovery (not possible due to locked bootloader)
Just using the oem unlock option does not unlock the bootloader, more steps are required for most phones in order to unlock the bootloader, if it was that easy it would have been exploited by now, most of the guides on the snapdragon version mention that the bootloader is not unlockable.
You more than likely will need to restore the recovery through odin or something,

Thanks ya I fixed it! And ya I understand there are additional steps to doing this that's why I mentioned fastboot. If you could guide me in a direction to potentially learn more about the kernals and how they work or what I would need to be good at to exploit download mode or knox whatever is required to potentially exploit the bootloader I would not give up on it im fine with wasting my time. I had recently talked to Sam help chat and they told me someone could unlock the bootloader for me (a phone company near me) I talked to a guy over the phone that said it could be possible bc they have the Samsung tools to do so but he told me to call the next day because the other tech knew more then him, so I called the next day and he said they could do it but they would get in trouble for doing so. My plan is to go in when the guy that doesn't know much is working ? and get him to unlock it. Hopefully then I could upload the software here and free the snapdragon slaves!!! If your interested in the conversations I had with Samsung and this other company I could upload the screen shots thank you for your reply!

I've never dabbled in making kernels or anything so I'm pretty useless with that. The phone has been out for over 3 years now and as of yet there is no software method to unlock the bootloader, android devs would have figured that one out by now if it was possible, if it is possible then maybe there some extra hardware thats required to unlock the bootloader, I honestly don't know enough, I'm experienced enough to know to do certain things but I don't know the ins and out of how bootloader are coded, how the instructions are carried out. But it would defo be interesting to see if they do this for you.

Ya thanks man when I talked to the inexperienced tech guy he said I could come in and we could try but I didn't want to drive there and waste my time ? but the experienced dude said I could probably find another repair place that would do it (figured it's another one of their shops he was hinting at as there are a few around me) so I will attempt to do this and hopefully some how it works and I can upload the software here not sure if flashing it would unlock anyone elses bootloaders as I expect it to be some sort of key like the HTC phones used to require and is unique to each device. When I got that oem to appear I was trying anything and everything in adb and fastboot as I suspected if we could glitch the phone in fastboot mode we could unlock it lol at least that's what I hoped for, tried upload mode kernal panic the 3 different download modes and tried to replace the Samsung download mode driver and flash the fastboot Android driver on top of it but my lack of knowledge on these things hindered me from making any progress but I believe there's a exploit in this root software that was copyed from the s9 and simply devs don't want to waste there time because they believe it is impossible. I've seen much hard thing accomplished in this dev sight hopefully the right person can figure it out and Is motivated by this post or point me in the right direction ? thanks if you read all this if I get it unlocked you will def see another post lengthy post ?
