While this may not affect you directly, it sets a bad precedent and it might be a good idea to keep track of companies and workarounds.

## Avoid at all cost!

|

### 1. Huawei/Honor
|

In the past, Huawei allowed you to unlock 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, 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/>
|
||||
Worse, on Android 10+, the unlock command has been **completely removed** from fastboot.
|
||||
|
||||
But for some models, it's still possible to unlock.

Paid methods:<br/>
|
||||
I don't recommend paid methods due to general sketchiness. I have used one of these tools a while ago, it was okay.<br/>
|
||||
Through HCU-client (Not everything is supported + incredible prices https://hcu-client.com/buy/) or DC-Unlocker (Same problems as HCU https://www.dc-unlocker.com/buy)
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Samsung (Qualcomm)
|
||||
It's not possible. (I think)
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Vivo/IQOO
|
||||
The BBK family has an unlocking problem. If in case of OPPO/Realme they at least offer an app in some regions, Vivo is locked completely.
|
||||
|
||||
Well, that is if https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-unlock-bootloader-of-vivo-phones.3686690/ doesn't apply to you.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. OPPO/Realme (Non CN/IN)
|
||||
I don't have a lot to say about OPPO.<br/>
|
||||
The most annoying part about them is that you *can* unlock your bootloader, but only if you can enter fastboot. And guess what? They locked fastboot with an RSA key!<br/>

||||

|
||||
|
||||
As per Realme, they decieded that segregating people by ~~race~~ their phone's region is cool. If you didn't buy your phone in China or India, chances are you won't be unlocking anything anytime soon.
|
||||
|
||||
In April-May 2023 you could unlock any Realme phone using this script https://github.com/turistu/rmx3474-rooting, but on May 26th Realme posted this joke of an announcement on their forum https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1661960232244367360 <br/>
|
||||
The script *might* still work on some models. (Not a lot of info is available) <br/>

|
||||
|
||||
Older MTK-based models can use the mtkclient method. There *might* be a Unisoc method, but I've never seen it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Proceed with caution!
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Realme (IN/CN)
|
||||
Seeing how easily Realme dropped the ball on their global users, I personally would be worried about their future plans.
|
||||
|
||||
For now you can use any of the guides here https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1248075024070344704 (They're just copy-pasting the same info as the unlock process didn't change much at all)

|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Samsung (Exynos)
|
||||
If you have an Exynos-based Samsung, you can unlock your phone, but this will permanently trip Knox. As a result *any* Knox based features will be broken *even if you re-lock*. This includes, but not limited to: Samsung Pay, Pass, Flow, Health, Secure Folder, Secure Wi-Fi, Smart View. Can you be denied warranty? Probably...
|
||||
|
||||
Some of those features can be fixed with this LsPosed module https://github.com/BlackMesa123/KnoxPatch and this Magisk Module https://github.com/BlackMesa123/KnoxPatch#knoxpatch-enhancer.
