[GUIDE] Bootloader Unlock

[Choose an username...]

The P996A01B20Fastboot_ssl.zip. I was wondering if there was a way to change anything that makes it specific to the 7. It's just an idea that may not even work, but I was thinking if I could flash an Axon M version of that package then maybe I could unlock the bootloader and get twrp on there.

as long as you don't mind bricking it... ?

honestly can't help you. I don't think it'll work but have no real reason. Do you have EDL packages for it, in case you brick it? Maybe try EDL Tool, it's able to do EDL backups, but I'm not sure if it works with other phones (the developer is @djkuz, you can ask him).

btw, take a look at Controllerboy's unlock guide in the guides section. It uses a method to recover fastboot that requires going back to a build where fastboot was enabled (Which of course the Axon M does not have) but it might as well be useful. The method uses ADB from a signed TWRP to push a couple of files to the system (aboot and fbop).

Does this method work with the G Version Android Oreo B02?

If you're looking to unlock the bootloader, simply just use the Axon 7 EDL Tool by djkuz.
Plug your phone into your computer, make sure to have USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking enabled in Developer options. Make sure to check allow for the prompt for USB debugging on the phone.
Search Google for 15s ADB Installer (XDA thread) and install the drivers. Make sure to also have the Qualcomm drivers installed if you don't already. Open a command prompt, and type 'adb devices' to make sure your device shows up (should be string of couple letters).Now simply type 'adb reboot edl' , and in the EDL Tool it should show your device as connected. Select Unlock Bootloader, and follow instructions on-screen, and you should be done within a couple minutes.

It's been years since this came out but now I'm working on a project of my own and wondered what the original script changed in boot and system. If anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciate it

It basically broke the system on purpose so you can't take ota updates. The only real change is the bootloader that was capable of fastboot along with the fbop partition which became obsolete. In Oreo, the bootloader was capable of fastboot regardless of fbop containing any data
