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

several questions in no particular order:
Does the "OEM Unlocking" toggle do anything on the XT1572?
If I issue the fastboot OEM LOCK command after having sucessfully unlocked the device before, do I need to go through the full data wipe+send oem data+flash unlock code process again?
Lastly, I was able to flash the MM firmware for my Single SIM AISA model XT1572 despite having the bootloader locked (I think).
Is that normal that I can flash the official moto firmware using just fastboot without having to tweak with anything else?
I presume that since the digital signatures are correct the bootloader has no issue accepting the MM files.
Not quite the end of the world if I have to wipe everything and start over (it's only been a day) but I regret not knowing earlier. Nor did I expect to get this far with a relocked boot loader. Was trying to add SuperSU and found that while I can overwrite flash the stock recovery I cannot flash TWRP.

As far as I am concerned relocking the bootloader wont wipe your data and yes about the question regarding the stock firmware
PS: Dont relock your bootloader once you unlock it the warranty doesnt come back even if you lock it again
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
hope this tutorial will help you....!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQYCSdDUdAU
I had the same problem and solved using magistik, reenable unlock volta loader and After relock.
I tried to root my c9000 but I had bootloop everytime when I flash something via twrp and I realized there is no OEM unlock in developer options. How can I find it abd root oreo ?
Removed, Enable it on N then update to O
Follow those steps
I recently flashed the new StatixOS 3.0 (Custom ROM) from the ug plus roms thread. I wanted to return to stock since there was an annoying bug on it. But after I flashed the latest stock rom from lolinet and ran all the commands to revert the state of my phone, I also ran the command fastboot oem lock to lock my bootloader. Now my IMEI is showing "0" and I can't reflash the stock rom again, since it gives me a " (bootloader) flashing permission denied error.
I can boot into the OS, the fastboot and the stock recovery.
The "OEM Unlock" Button is greyed out with: contact your carrier or connect to the internet. The WIFI works so this must be a bug.
Can I flash it via stock recovery any way or bypass the greyed out OEM unlock button in any way?
