OEM Unlock Missing - ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers

I received my ROG Phone 3 yesterday and began trying to unlock the bootloader, but I don't get the toggle switch to turn on OEM Unlocking. Does this mean the phone is in lock jail for 7 days? Unfortunately it is the Tencent version with the global ROM.

No I guess ... You can just enable USB debugging and proceed with the normal unlocking procedure ...
I'm on the global version and it worked for me

I've already had USB debugging enabled but still no go, I wish I knew more about these Tencent and Global variants otherwise I would have done a bit more research before buying it

There are so many variants out there, no one knows right now unfortunately. ASUS released way too many different versions.

Wat does happen when you try to unlock it? Like click on unlock in the app?

My WW version didn't have oem unlock. Just use the unlock app.

I guess for a Tencent to global version this issue is acknowledged by the asus team ...

Need people with unlocked bootloader for future development

As we all know the development of our device isin't going great because of the Huawei decision to stop bootloader unlocking but we have a developer who is ready to work on our device And he already successfully ported the twrp for our device which is available in the development section but future development is halted because of the lack of the required files which can only be obtained from the devices with a root access which is only possible with unlocked bootloader .So anyone who has an unlocked bootloader and want to contribute in the future development of Honor play, please! ping me or drop down a comment or a reply below.
Thank you.

Actually we need people with unlocked bootloader and yeah it's available for me and i think only Chinese varient of the phone can't be unlocked. Cuz Indian varient still have this option even after updating to emui 9.

Are people who have the button OEM unlocked already via Oreo?
UK device COR29
Also FunkyHuawei not giving out codes anymore so no point?!

Sorry, bootloader code processing is currently not available. Check back on this page for future availability.

Will it still need Unlock Code even if we can enable that enable oem unlock option?

yes,but if the switch is inactive it cannot be enabled... see attached picture, inactive the "enable oem unlock" switch on my phone... if you can't turn it on, you can't enable opening,if there is any code, then... if this switch is active, then approving bootloader opening/unlocking... but have unlock code, but switch is inactive, cannot open bootloader with code...

@asser19 why is it not possible to open it now? if you want to modify your system, buy a phone that is less secure, huawei/honor is now a safer mobile phone that can not be opened and can not be rooted, this is not a problem

Whether or not you want to modify should be your choice because you've bought the device so it's yours.

yes, legitimate, but modification can cause damage to motherboard, which would be replaced by a warranty, thus causing damage to the manufacturer, not due to improper use, therefore, to prevent this, the manufacturer may block system modification

Do you have Google pay installed (I have).
Maybe that blocks OEM for me.

[Bootloader and TWRP] LG V40 Model LM-V405UA AT&T.

Hi everyone,
My device is LG v40 with model number: LM-V405UA of AT&T. Until now, I can't find a way to access the bootloader. I tried two way below:
adb reboot bootloader OR
turn off the phone (or reboot), as soon as it turns on, hold volume down while USB cable is connected
But nothing happens, my device just restart. I still don't know why?
Hope to see the answers!
Thank you very much,

Ok so I just upgraded to android 11 and want to unlock the bootloader but while doing it through the app it says failed to unlock the device why is that?
Also I have never unlocked my device before it's the first time I'm trying to do so..
Do a backup of your data you don't wanna loose and flash raw file with A10 available here in ROG3 section. Then your unlock tool will work. After you unlock you can update and restore data. Bootloader remains open until you lock it again with abd or app.
