And good lock unlocking anything over 5 years old because the updated website doesn't support what you've got. Been there, it sucks.

- codedokode 11mo agoTo be fair, for "anything over 5 years old" you can probably find a privilege escalation exploit.
- NekkoDroid 11mo agoDo tell me when you find one for unlocking the bootloader of an LG G6, been looking for one for a few years now :)
- BenjiWiebe 11mo agoA 1st gen Verizon Moto X bootloader unlock would be nice as well.
- wiz21c 11mo agothe question is not "being able to", the question is "being able to with a reasonable effort". wandering the web to find an exploit is way beyond my spare time.
- VagabundoP 11mo agoThat might get you root but not a bootloader unlock.
- kube-system 11mo agoThere are privilege escalation CVEs in bootloader code too. I remember unlocking some very early locked bootloaders this way in the early days of android.
- VagabundoP 11mo agoSo much rarer now. Its getting more and more locked down unfortunately.
- kube-system 11mo agoA lack of security vulnerabilities isn't really a matter of being "locked down" but rather "not broken"
- ycombinatrix 11mo agoMany of them are actually not bootloader locked. iiuc the OG Verizon Pixel has an unlockable bootloader, but the operating system doesn't let you unlock it, meaning root access should allow unlocking the bootloader. some devices have a legitimately locked bootloader, which means you're SOL.
