# Cat
- Verdict: **⛔ Avoid!**
Cat's phones have the OEM Unlock option in the settings app, but the typical `fastboot flashing unlock`/`fastboot oem unlock` just returns an [unknown command error][Cat Unlock]. I'm honestly not sure why you'd buy a phone from a tractor company anyways.

# Energizer
- Verdict: **⛔ Avoid!**
Not only will Energizer destroy your electronics by leaking battery acid everywhere, but they will also destroy your privacy by not allowing you to unlock your bootloader. There's not much more to say, neither their Android phones or KaiOS phones are unlockable.

- Verdict: **⛔ Avoid!**
To start off, to unlock your bootloader you have to submit a request on their website, which is pretty bad on its own (*wink* [Huawei](/brands/huawei/README.md)). But how do you know if your device is unlockable? Well...
* [This page][Most Devices] says that "Most of our latest devices support our bootloader unlock program."
* [This page][Some Devices] says only "Photon Q 4G LTE, DROID RAZR M(Developer Edition), DROID RAZR HD(Developer Edition CDMA-LTE), MOTOROLA RAZR HD (Rest of World -UMTS/LTE), MOTOROLA RAZR HD (Rogers Canada - UMTS/LTE) and MOTOROLA RAZR i are supported by the Bootloader Unlock site."
* [And from this conversation][turistu's post] [turistu](https://github.com/turistu) had with their support: "most of our E devices doesn't support bootloader unlock program. Please see below a list of devices that support the bootloader unlock program : g100, g51 , g71 , g200 , g52 , g82 , g42 , g62 , g32"
* [This forum post][Old devices ineligible] says that once a device passes a certain age (the age not being specified), the device becomes ineligible.
* There's also an unofficial way with CID to check if your device can be unlocked, check here: [xdaforums.com][CID check]

# OnePlus
- Verdict: **⚠️ Proceed with caution!** </br>

- Verdict: **⚠️ Proceed with caution!**
What? OnePlus? Aren't their phones super easy to unlock? - yes, but... <br/>
You probably heard about the OnePlus X OPPO os merger and while it did get called off, both companies started sharing a "unified codebase". You can probably see where I'm going.
If one day OnePlus decides to practice racism like Realme or go nuclear like OPPO/Vivo, they'll have those "unified" tools at their disposal.
All of OnePlus' phones are easily unlockable.
However, do tread with caution as OPPO and OnePlus have merged their codebases into a "unified codebase", so OnePlus can, at any time, disable their unlocks.
This means OnePlus, at any time, can **completely pull an OPPO** and lock their unlock process.
OnePlus also used to provide Deep Testing for their SIM-locked devices in the US, however they have stopped doing this.

If you have a North American device, well, uh... If you're lucky enough not to update for a while, you can check out [this paid service][Paid North American Unlock]. (At your own risk). Any phones prior to the S23 with an Exynos SoC can be unlocked if not carrier locked, regardless of region.
Snapdragon phones prior to the S7/Note7 (2016) can be unlocked regardless of region, as long as it's not locked to a carrier like AT&T or Verizon. The Canadian S7 can also be unlocked as it uses an Exynos SoC, despite Canada normally being a Snapdragon region.
If you bought your phone elsewhere, and it's not carrier locked, you can use the standard process, but brace yourself for all the breakage coming your way! For example, VoLTE on custom ROMs, (thanks to Samsung's proprietary implementation) and in certain cases [even the camera][Unlock Breaks Camera].
