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.
Hello there,
I'm using Gcam with locked bootloader ( From a XDA thread ) . I was thinking to unlock the bootloader from command prompt - #Fastboot oem unlock. Then boot into Twrp , install such apps like radio, Dolby atmos, etc . After that Can I just lock the bootloader using- #fastboot oem lock ??? If not then please tell me process to apply my concept and after applying get back into the factory bootloader locked mode.
Note: I don't want to root my device, I want to install missing apps as like gcam method ( without rooting and restored locked bootloader)
Thanks in advance.
No, you can't. Those apps add files in system partition and you will get a bootloop if you lock the bootloader
You can install those apps without unlock bootloader only with root and magisk modules, for example

Hi everybody
I redid an installation of my xiaomi mi9t under miui 11.0.3 to start again on good bases because I had done a lot of trying to try to succeed in rooting it
So I relocked the bootloader and I followed the tutorial from A to Z to root the tel.
So these are the manipulations I did:
Unlock the bootloader with the miui tool
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Fastboot boot twrp.img
Installation of the magisk zip.
Restart.
And then I restore my data with micloud and when I go to developer option it says that my bootloader and locked and OEM unlocking is no longer grayed out I can deactivate it when before it was not possible.
I don't know if it's the fact that I restored via micloud or that I used the xiaomi native security and cleaner app.
However my phone is well rooted and unlock bootloader because it is marked unlocked at startup and for rooting all the apps that request root rights have it.
Thank you for your answers.
Hi please help me I'm desperate.
This is my horrible phone
Zenfone 3 Zc520tl X008D with Oreo 8.1
I would like to root it with magisk but I have a lot of problems.
FIRST. I have to unlock the bootloader but Asus didn't release the tool for Oreo.
I tried to unlock through fastboot using these following commands
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot oem unlock
But nothing happens. How can I unlock the bootloader?
SECOND. I didn't find, in the case I will be able to unlock the bootloader, TWRP recovery or better I found TWRP in a guide about rooting this model but with Nougat OS. The question is. Can I use this TWRP for Nougat or I need a TWRP designed for the model with Oreo?
An alternative, I found here a guide to root this device without TWRP patching boot.img with Magisk Manager and flashing it through fastboot. Could it be a valid solution?
But please help me to unlock this bootloader. I will never buy again asus ZenFone. They disappeared a d if I ask for the unlock tool Oreo they answer: we will refer this to our technicians

The Oreo update came in 2018 and i doubt they release anything 2 years later. And i think that tool is required to even be able to use those commands in fastboot. So if you want to unlock bootloader you should downgrade to an older version and use the tool , which i am currently looking for.
