Specially thanks to an anonymous person who tested bootloader unlock on retail unit for HCTSW Care. ODM may remove these pads in later batches.



Bootloader Unlock
Note: Doing this might void the warranty. Do it at your own risk!

When abl partition is from BGT-0120-0-00WW-A01 or older, bootloader unlock is allowed even if OEM Unlocking in Developer Options is not toggled on. But any newer builds removed the unlock capability from the bootloader part. Also bootloader relocking functionality seems broken.

If your phone has BGT-1150-0-00WW-B01 or older, you can simply downgrade the abl partition to BGT-0120-0-00WW-A01 to allow the bootloader being unlocked. However this is blocked since BGT-2180-0-00WW-B01 build.
