Just updated to MM 6 and the phone is too boring, anyway im trying to unlock bootloader and no info much on my variant, its Philippine H540.
  • The device does not have unlock oem in dev options
  • Kingroot does not even try to root, says device unsupported
  • Im trying to unlock bootloader via fastboot
  1. fastboot oem device-info - returns uknown command
  2. fastboot getvar unlocked = returns no
  3. fastboot flashing unlock/oem unlock - screen message warning see screenshot, pressing up vol key does nothing and goes back to fastboot
well i was wondering if i can try anything else

"When fastboot unlocks it updates a lock status flag, stored on a partition of your device's internal storage."

i dont know what internal storage is used, is it the entire hardware internal of my device, i did enabled adaptive storage on my device integrating my sd card maybe it cannot update it because of this? i have to read more in xda nexus bootunlocker app, this app unlocks bootloader without wipe

Unfortunately idk how/where it stores that flag, but it's somewhere we can't mess with. And that app you speak of doesn't work with our phones, its strictly a nexus thing(correct me if I'm wrong)
