F versions are not bootloader locked. You can just use oem unlock in dev settings, flash twrp and flash custom kernel thats all. You can fnd newest twrp and read steps how to do it.

[Q] Unlocking the bootloader on AME-XXX

Hi,
I've got the international version of the Optimus 4X HD, bought online in the U.S.
It has been recently updated to V20c - the software version code is P88020c-AME-XXX.
Can I use the same unlock procedure for the EUR-XXX models, or do I need to flash EUR-XXX before attempting to unlock?
I had no troubles rooting the phone by following the instructions in this thread.

EUR-XXX worked for my ESA-XXX. It will work for you, if you have bootloader unlock check in hidden menu. You may have fastboot problem, so be ready with correct driver and correct method.
Refer to this thread if stuck on red colored Download mode for long time and no response-

Alright, thanks for the fast response.
The hidden menu indeed has the bootloader unlock check.
I'll report back once I try it.

[Q] Unlock or root s3 mini gt-18190N

Hi guys...
Does someone have a s3 mini GT-18190N, and it success to root or unlock?
Better to say, i need to unlock my phone, how to do it?
On the other way, If there is not a free way to unlock phone, IF then I root and put some custom rom on my phone will it be unlocked by default?
And the final question, does custom roms (on this site) also working for my gt-18190N version or just for GT-18190 ???
Thanks,
nice regards

hi
i suppose u are talking about Sim Unlock? right?
and not bootloader unlock,
normally just unlock means to unloack bootloader to be able to flash custom recowery, thatway you can also root and install custom roms....
sim unlock on the other hands, you can do it also without root etc... but you need code from your operator, or u have to purchase one online cca 20$
and i have no idea if there is other way, or if anybodes did it...

Did you unlock the bootloader critical? If not, that's the problem
If you have unlocked bootloader and critical partition flashing, and still have problems to enter EDL mode, try on another PC and USB 2.0 port.
I did it, thanks all for help. I haven unlocked bootloader critical, and that was solution. Thanks one more time! Cheers!
I also want to use MIUI10. can u give me the link where process is written?

Root RedMagic 7s Pro

Hi everyone,
I received the 7s pro tuesday , already unlock bootloader ( first thing out of the box )
Now I would like to Root this badboy , but I'm missing the boot.img , anyone has find a firmware for this phone or do we need to wait for the next one ?
I didn't find cn firmware but a boot.img from the cn would work or would brick the phone ?
Thx for your time !
Hey I am on the same page, bootloader unlocked but can't find the stock rom, has anyone been able to find it?
You can actually find the firmwares for the Redmagic 7S Pro in the support section, find the one you need then to get the boot.img you can extract the payload.bin to get it.
You will also lose the fingerprint reader calibration data after bootloader unlocking but I reckon you already know that by now.
Hey! Does anyone have a rooted 7s pro? I need some help.
