[Tutorial] How to unlock the Bootloader of the Gionee M6S Plus
(25-08-2017, 06:48 PM)suhi02 Hi
I am trying to unlock boot-loader of Gionee M6S Plus chinese version 64 GB ROM. I tried to use various apps to root like kningo root,root but no success. It was mentioned if boot loader is unlocked then there will be better chance of getting exploits and root the phone.
I carried following steps
1.adb devices
My device serial was listed
2. adb reboot-bootloader
Phone went into fastboot black screen
3. fastboot oem unlock
C:\adb>fastboot oem unlock
...
OKAY [ 0.077s]
finished. total time: 0.078s
I didn't get any confirmation about boot lock unlock
4. I ran C:\adb>fastboot oem device-info
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.016s]
finished. total time: 0.019s
It is seen that it has not unlocked.
Any help is appreciated. Will unlocking boot loader brick my phone ? My main intention is to root safely and get regional fonts and google play store.
Thanks
fastboot getvar unlocked

One Click rooting app can't root phones running from lollipop upward
You will need custom recovery to root your device.
BTW, Check your bootloader lock status by inputing the below command in fastboot.
Code:fastboot getvar unlocked

Your bootloader can't be unlocked via the regular fastboot method

Finally It seems I was able to unlock bootloader
following command was used
fastboot oem unlock-go
c:\adb>fastboot oem device-info
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.000s]
finished. total time: 0.000s
Is my device bootloader unlocked now?
Thanks
