Unlock bootloader Android phone
What is bootloader Android?
Android bootloader code is a (sort of software), which has the mission to perform certain tasks, such as loading the kernel (core operating system), debugging, etc.
Android bootloader is locked on the base to protect the phone against the installation of malicious code.
How to install updates with locked bootloader?
OTA updates come directly from producers and therefore are digitally signed. With a valid signature, they can pass verification and can even install the bootloader locked.
Why is unlocked bootloader?
Naturally not everyone has to unlock the bootloader phone, but only those who want to make Root, install other recovery or another rom.
If you do not need root, another rom or other recovery does not need to unlock the bootloader.
How to unlock the bootloader?
The process itself, unlocking the bootloader is simple. Greater the preparatory work, where we need to ensure that we have the USB drivers installed and your phone is recognized, then we must install the Android ADB. Below are links to the universal USB driver for Minimal ADB.
Tools for unlocking bootloader.
1. Universal Windows ADB Driver
2. Minimal ADB and Fastboot
After installing the tools we move on phone and Developer options Unlock tick OEM (from android 5.0 here). After that restart the phone to fastboot, where we give the command fastboot oem unlock. Will appear on the screen two buttons YES and NO, we will choose YES to unlock the bootloader (sailing with the volume keys and confirm with power).
CAREFUL
Before unlocking the bootloader, you must back up because the phone will reset to factory settings.
Tutorials recommended for backup:
1. Backup games and applications - Move to a different phone games and applications without loss of data Helium
2. Backup calls and SMS - Espionage or call log and sms backup for android phones
3. Automatic backup of pictures and movies - SyncMate Wireless, cloud backup and personal in my PC
What about recovery and the root?
Please write to my comments box if you want to continue with installation tutorials and root recovery.

Some manufacturers and service providers (Vodafone, Orange, etc.) will only use rum to their website, they have installed some tools for data collection.
Therefore, I recommend phones OnePlus.
OnePlus is probably the only manufacturer that lets you do Root, to install other ROMs, kernels, etc., during which you are covered by the warranty.
Hello i have a samsung galaxy Cristi grand 2 and i have placed a custom recovery and custom rom without bootloader unlock. I used an app rootare and used another ablicatie calling rot permissions to install CyanogenMod recovery and now we 13 but I bootloader unlocked, okay?
And I did so on a s4 value edition.
No, it's wrong what you say Alcatel lets me unlock the bootloader to root and install another recovery. So? Stop talking if you don't know at OnePlus Yes, they leave you, hey, but they also leave you at Alcatel. At least the Alcatel 1s leaves you. So???
Well said.
CRIS few tutorials since the sound recording is very low should greatly increased volume from speakers or headphones you can hear better. Find some settings best or try to record something else
Ok, I'll make the changes. I went on the sound quality, not volume. If you seek a higher volume, I offer it to you.
Cristi, you can make a toturial that show us how we can put two operating systems on a phone? I recently purchased a OnePlus 3 and I want to see how. Thank you!
We Tutorial MultiROMWith which you can install multiple ROMs same phone.
YES we want more …… root, recovery, rom.
a nice evening.
Yes, I also want root, recovery and rom. A nice evening.
Strange coincidence. All day I tried to unlock the bootloader, root-ez to install TWRP on Lg and G4 they own and we did. Thanks for the tutorial. Wait and rest. information that would help to install CyanogenMod on my phone.
Hello, and I own a G4 whom I would cast another rom, m`am tired of MM. I expect an answer if it succeeds something, please.
Thank you
Of course I want a tutorial on about recovery etc. I have a A5 Smiley Allview. Do you think it's possible to get rid of Telecom's traces of it?
YES …… we want more …… root, recovery, rom… .and I have another question: I can still lock the bootloader if I want this. Thanks for the tutorial. Note 10.
The bootloader can lock back in without any problems. The command is "fastboot oem lock"
Hello Cristi, very intuitive and straightforward tutorials, very happy if you continue with others, one question I have a s5 neo I rooted, I just want to know if there is any way to change the value to guarantee the download mode the waranty void will not reoccur 0x1, thanks in advance
Cristi, for owners of oneplus1-3 there is a utility made available by those from oneplus.Pachetul contains everything you need to unlock rootare, including TWRP and is available on the website oficial.Se ToolKit called him OnePlus.Eu oneplus1 we used both for work and for oneplus3 and ireprosabil.Este reversible and very intuitive and I think it would be good to share and link romana.Asta's presentation of the XDA Developers;http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/toolkit-oneplus-3-toolkit-unlock-t3398799.
Certainly, there are some who have misused their phone, or who, out of the desire to experiment, will suffer this. I shook it badly, but in the end, after days of documentation, experiments and tests, I put my phone back on its feet. If I had to make a suggestion, the next step would be a tutorial on nandroid backup and another on "unbrick-forgetting" android.
Cristi you want to do next tutorials that you said. and I question why a minimal adb fastb sees Windows Defender trojan? the only guy I have in the antivirus pc
Hello Cristi. Congratulations tutorial. It would be better to continue with recovery installation and root. Only good and as many tutorials. It might be interesting and a tutorial on a handsfree headset to hear the noise ok. Some worked with both hands and fail to keep and ear phone. Pixy.

All good until it restarts and…, surprise: I'm asked for a password for Android, which I don't know where to get.

Hello . I also have a Huawei y560 whose booloder I can't unlock. I need an unlock code that I can't get because I can't find out the product ID. Huawei says to type on the phone no: * # * # 1357946 # * # * but nothing happens to me. I also tried with a general product ID application but unfortunately it does not support my model. With "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot oem unlock-go" it doesn't work.

Hi to samsung s7 edge as I get into fastboot
The tutorial process does not help with S7 Edge. To root and install a custom recovery, search the XDA Developers forum. The procedure is very specific, depending on your device and model you have (Exynos or Snapdragon version)
In the above mentioned forum you have all the information I have told you, the procedure to be applied and the necessary files.
Hello, maybe in the future you are doing a tutorial for s7 edge too much.

Hello Cristi, I have a red Xiaomi 4a phone, can unlock the bootloader with this tutorial method?
Hi Cristi, I have a sony xperia xa1 and I can not unlock my bootloader. please be nice to help me. Thank you.
Hello . Unlocking the bootloader loses the warranty?
Not before you put it into service, you can re-place it again
What does the phone return to the factory settings? I mean, if the phone had Android 7.1.1 in the factory and now has Android 8.1.0 will return to the Nook version?
No, only the settings return to the factory state, not the version of the operating system. If you reset the factory reset, you will have to go through the initialization steps again when you first started it after you bought it.
