- Verdict: **⛔ Avoid!**
There's nothing to say about Alcatel really. They have fastboot removed from most of their phones and have no official unlock method. A lot of their phones are MediaTek based so you can try [mtkclient](https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient).

This one is probably expected. No iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or Apple TV model has had an unlockable bootloader. Depending on your device or SoC, there are BootROM (hardware based) and iBoot (software based) exploits you can use to run unsigned code on iOS devices, such as [checkm8 for A5-A11,](https://theapplewiki.com/wiki/Checkm8_Exploit) [limera1n for A4, iPod touch 3G, and iPhone 3GS](https://theapplewiki.com/wiki/Limera1n_Exploit) [24kpwn for certain iPod touch 2G's and iPhone 3GS's](https://theapplewiki.com/wiki/0x24000_Segment_Overflow) and [steaks4uce for iPod touch 2G's](https://theapplewiki.com/wiki/Usb_control_msg(0xA1,_1)_Exploit) for BootROM exploits, and [DRA for all 32-bit devices running iOS 7.x.x](https://theapplewiki.com/wiki/De_Rebus_Antiquis) for iBoot exploits.

Asus originally allowed you to unlock your bootloader via their website, however in November 2023, the website went down "for maintanence", Asus claimed it would come back, but it never did. Someone eventually found a way to unlock the bootloader on the Zenfone 9, and Asus responded, not by finally bringing the site back, but by [patching the method and introducing anti-rollback](https://www.reddit.com/r/zenfone/comments/19f4ny3/asus_now_actively_sabotaging_attempts_to_unlock/). Following Asus's false claims of a bootloader unlock eventually coming back, a UK customer sued Asus for a refund of their phone, [and Asus lost.](https://www.androidpolice.com/asus-removed-bootloader-unlock-from-phones/) Asus is still claiming the unlock site will come back eventuallly, but considering how long it's been closed, the anti-rollback, and them losing a lawsuit over their unlockable bootloader claims, it's safe to say it'll probably never come back.

- Verdict: **⛔ Avoid!**
In the past, Huawei allowed you to unlock with a special code you get by submitting some information to emui.com (IMEI, serial, model, and product ID), but in 2018 "corporate values have changed" and the site went down. <br/>

In the past, LG had a developer portal which could be used to unlock phones on their website, however it only supported international models of their phones, but in December 2021, LG announced the developer portal would be shutting down due to LG ending production of all phones.

- Verdict: **⛔ Avoid!**
While this (currently) only affects users in China, Xiaomi's new policy makes unlocking very annoying.
