There is a relatively new option called “Enable OEM unlock” within development options Android from version Marshmallow 6.0. When you enable this option, posibilitas the power to unlock the bootloader Mobile or android tablet and then to give the root or put a different rom the factory
This change in Android comes by an Act of 2014 in California that required to put this option to sell phones in that state with aim to improve safety, and hence it has jumped everyone.
It can also cause problems if you have not enabled and an updated version of android goes wrong (battery run out in the middle of update…), unrecoverable problems and also the possibility of having a brick for a mobile and having to go through the service like it or not.
To access the developer mode, go to settings-about phone and press 7 times in a row in build number.
Once upgraded to android nougat 7.0 , we can see 3 different results on the OEM release as we have done before:
1 – Possibility to activate or stop the release oem disabled (image 1). Out if you've never unlocked the bootloader before.
2 – No possibility of change, since this gray but before upgrading what you had activated (image 2). This option comes out when you had it before updating enabled and allows flash any file without problems.
In this case, the last thing to do in that case is “restore default settings” because it causes a hard brick that not only may be repaired in technical service and have to change the motherboard of the mobile with a new IMEI.
3 – No possibility of change, since this gray but before updating it tapeworms NOT activated. this option would be the worst, no longer allows to flash anything and the only way to fix it would return to the previous version of android that if you could.
Definitely, whether or not your goal unlock the bootloader, not less have it always enabled case, since no negative consequences activate.
Did it happen to someone else? comentad to see if together we solve problems of this type.
I do not even appear in OEM development options
And, if I me.paso, It was updating pro and I went out and there was only infinite reboot. I tried to get back to installing el.sofware but would not let me because I had no option enabled oem. And they had to change la.placa with new IMEI. So better we leave it enabled. regards.
that happened to you this mobile? regards
I inadvertently disable that function in my s6 edge plus, the solution is to install an official Software Do?
I turn it off one day after I sent my phone to release the company was and restart it he never ignited more. They did not know but now doubts no longer play anything more “Developer options” Hahaha. At least not in this J7 2016.
I have an LG G4 vs986 and options that desarrolllo,option enabled OEm
That option does not leave me
what version of Android?
For this option to display (enable OEM unlock) you have to have the option activated “Developer options ” ,for this you have to go “settings” O “configurations”, “about of the phone”,” build number” and click on this opción6 or 7 times until you get a warning saying ” Already programmer” ,that is all , I hope the information is usefull .
I do not get that option on my Galaxy S6 6.0.1
whew, I want to root a Samsung s8, try to activate the option, I follow the steps but I can not activate the option OEM unlock, He asks me pass, I put it and nothing is greyed out.. can you help me?
Pim is the same with which you enter on your phone every time you turn it on.
If you have rooted your cel, imei changed, and do not want to run into the unlock better custom binary frp have activated this option , because if you restart the cel are fried and running for service ..
Very true ,It happened to me and I had to reinstall the firmware ,eye with this !!!

good I have that problem desbloquie the bootloader of my huawei matt 9 but after a while q keria be root in fastboot mode q vi frp lock then came apage turned to light and enable configurations oem gray q Salia is no problem there can not be activated oem
That can happen if you upgraded version of Android without activating oem unlock before.
not actualize any version of android mine you have android 7 just wanted to be root desbloquie the bootloader but I get frp lock and I think that's why I get gray to enable oem
so is… so goes gray
The only negative consequences would be if it gets stolen you will be able to restore factory and thus access the mobile and sell.
and active developer options, between her and even me the option that appears nowhere OEM, the truth I'm sick of android, by such things, It makes you want to leave and try an iPhone or Windows Phone to see that such leave
It depends on the version of Android that have come out or not, that mobile is?
Hello DGIRONES, I have exactly the same problem as VIKTOR. My phone is a Samsung A5 with Android 6.0.1. I think that came with version 4.4.4 and long since the upgrade to the 6.0.1. Never before he had enabled “Developer option”. You can enable somehow something that allows me to visualize the option “Enable OEM unlock” ?. Can anything be done from a PC connected ?. I have adb installed on my notebook. I do it all, because I've added a SD 64 Gb, and I want to format it as internal memory without success so far everything I've done. There is a document, that tells me, in the case of a Samsung A5, I have root access to do with ROOT ESSENTIALS, for which, I rootear cell. One thing leads to another and I can not begin the other way to solve my initial target. DGIRONES Thanks for any help and / or guidance you can provide me.
Claudio good, I only know one way to enable developer mode and I think that is the unica.y is as I describe in the article…pressing 7 No compile times and then displayed in the menu in ajustes.Desde there habilitas unlocking oem, there's no more.
I Memory Card, It should be as simple as setting-storage-format the memory card and ready, if not so, Maybe your sd not compatible¿?
regards
DGIRONES thanks for your help. Nevertheless, it seems that the problem is that the option to enable OEM is covered by Samsung in version 6.0.1 for A5 model 2015. So for the SM-A500M. And I tried to install the Argentina Open and neither version provides. I can only try some international version or the version is released 7 para mi A5. Another is through ESSENTIAL ROOT. I try and see what happens.
I have unlocked bootloader and unlock option grayed out and disabled oem, precisely to restore settings development.
I have problems to an official ROM upgrade or update OTA?
If you have done the root should not be updated, but there is no problem
OK thanks, and if I install a complete official ROM would not have problem?
I have not changed anything from mobile phones, all you unlock the bootloader. He is still with Orange ROM
in theory should not have. It is only if rooteas and change the recovery time if
It turns out that after rootear mobile clear the OEM unlock and reset option no longer relit only get a text saying “Custom Binary blocked by FRP” I was told that by installing odin firmware recovers but the firmware can not download it SamMobile, I've already registered but wish to download asks me username and password.
I hope your help thank you very much in advance.
To my I spend the same but even if you have the firmware you can not install the OEM option disabled. And researched and I think the only option is to change the motherboard with new imei um.
If you find another option you make me appreciate sabee.
and when you came back to change the motherboard I turned receive the "Custom Binary blocked by FRP" that happened to me
If Samsung has a solution

Hello: I unlock the bootloader of lg v10 H901 , and he had activated before eom , I still could not rootearlo tried many tutorials and does not let me set you TWRP , therefore I can not be patched , but now also the option of activating oem me grayed . I beg anyone who can help me to install TWRP and rootearlo, Thank you
People maintain oem enabled for: if updates,rooteos,otra install rom,upgrade to the latest version of Android (having the telephone rooteado)etc.
So if something goes wrong it can restore factory.
On Ojo remain only in those cases oem eh named above.
Then you have to disable it.
In case of theft they can not use.
(Oem enable only if necessary and urgent)
Because if you have virus on your phone so you can put the factory.)
Thank you very much for your attention.
if you have virus, thing that I have not seen in Android can put the factory or have not enabled the option.
Hello , tengo un lg v10 h901 cn android 7.0 , following some tutorials I wanted rootearlo , and started unlocking the bootloader , then enable oem .
