How to enable OEM Unlock on Android Nougat

Android 7.0 Nougat is out in all its glory. The new Android 7.0 is more secure, stable and better when it comes to performance. Google has added tons of new features to make the Android 7.0 appealing. On this new OS, the smartphones have a better battery life. After the release of Android 7.0 Nougat, a lot of MODs, custom ROMs and tweaks have also started pouring in. This means you can start customising the Android 7.0 Nougat installed on your smartphone.

To customise your phone, you need root access and a custom recovery installed at first. In most of the cases, before flashing a custom recovery and rooting your phone, you need an unlocked bootloader and unlocking your bootloader means taking complete responsibility of any damage happening to your phone and voiding the warranty. For this purpose, the Android system from Android Lollipop, Marshmallow onward comes with a permission in developer options which is known as OEM Unlock. Original Equipment Unlock basically restricts your device from flashing any third party files or unlocking the bootloader. In order to perform any custom operation on your phone, you must enable OEM Unlock and then proceed towards whatever you wish to.

If you own an Android Nougat device and you are planning to play around with it, you will need a guide on how to enable OEM Unlock. Let’s go ahead and have a look on how to enable OEM Unlock on Android Nougat.

How to enable OEM Unlocking on Android Nougat

On your Android device, go to settings.
Now in settings, scroll all the way down and go to About device.
Now in About device locate the build number of your device. If build number is not there in About device section, it must be inside About device > Software. Tap the build number for 7 times to enable developer options.
Once you’ve enabled developer options, develop options will appear in settings just above the About device option.
Open developer options, the 4th or 5th option should be “OEM Unlock”. Turn on the small icon next to it and that’s all. You’ve enabled OEM Unlock.

LeEco Le Pro 3 Launched with Snapdragon 821, 6GB RAM and 4070 mAh battery

LeEco is another Chinese vendor making its mark slowly into the smartphone industry by pulling out smartphones boasting high-end specifications available in a very friendly budget. LeEco released its new smartphone, the Le Pro 3 today. The phone has made its way to the tech headlines because of its top of the line specifications and some amazing features.

LeEco Le Pro 3 sports a 5.5-inch full HD display at 403 ppi. It’s an IPS LCD display with 16M colors. LeEco Le Pro 3 joins the league of only a few smartphones to have the all new Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 under the hood. Adreno 530 GPU is there to entertain gaming geeks and graphic lovers. The phone has 2 different variants. It either offers a 32GB/64GB internal storage variant with 4GB RAM or a 64GB/128GB variant with a 6GB RAM. At the back, this device has got a 16 MP shooter with f/2.0 aperture and 1/2.8″ sensor size, 1.12 µm pixel size. On the front there is an 8 MP shooter f/2.2 aperture and 1.4 µm pixel size.

LeEco Pro 3 is a real moniker powered up with a 4070 mAh battery. The battery should be able to keep your phone powered on for all day long with some video playback and a few games on and off. LeEco was the very first Android OEM to ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack and Motorola did the same with its Moto Z afterwards. Motorola brought the headphone jack to its smartphones coming out after the Moto Z, but it looks like LeEco is in a different mood. You will not find any 3.5mm jack on the LeEco Pro 3. LeEco Pro 3 has a USB Type-C port and that’s where you will plug-in the headphones that will ship with this phone.

LeEco Pro 3 runs on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box having LeEco’s eUI 5.8 on the top. The Pro 3 made the very first appearance in China for now. We hope this device to find some space on the shelves in store in other countries as well.

As far as the pricing is concerned, it is as follows.

LeEco Pro 3 4GB RAM and 32GB internal storage: $270
LeEco Pro 3 6GB RAM and 64GB internal storage: $299
LeEco Pro 3 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage: $375
LeEco Pro 3 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage: $450

Although the new CM 14 ROM for the OnePlus 3 is in testing stage, but it still has got features like Mobile Data, Calls, SMS Messages, Audio, GPS, Bluetooth and many others.

You can flash this ROM easily through a TWRP recovery for the sake of getting your hands on Android 7.0 Nougat way before OnePlus releases an official Nougat firmware.

OnePlus 3 outed in June, 2016. The device carried a 5.5-inch QHD display. OnePlus powered it up with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 CPU accompanied by Adreno 530 GPU. A RAM of 6 GB was found inside and the internal storage of this phone was 64 GB. OnePlus 3 also supports a microSD card. A 3000 mAh battery is packed inside. OnePlus was running on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box. OnePlus has its own Oxygen OS themed Android for all of its devices. OnePlus 3 was under RAM issues for quite a while, but the company fixed issues later on by means of software updates.

So, that was all about the ROM and all about the device. It’s time for us to get back to what we are here for. In this post, we are going to flash and install the CM 14 custom ROM on the OnePlus 3 and update it to Android 7.0 Nougat. Flashing the ROM is an easy process, just make sure that you go through all the instructions carefully. Since its a custom ROM, and is in early stages, expect a few things to crash and being an Android user, you should be ready to face any circumstances that may occur afterwards.

Early preparations

This guide is intended for OnePlus 3 [all variants]. Do not try this on any other phone or else you may result in bricking it.
Charge your phone up to 50% to avoid power issues during ROM installation process.
Backup your important contacts, call logs and sms messages. Also copy your media content to your computer.
Unlock the bootloader of your OnePlus 3, install TWRP custom recovery and root it as well. Here’s the guide to do so.
Create a Nandroid backup of your phone using a custom recovery.
Follow this guide to the letter to avoid any mishap.

Disclaimer: Proceed at your own risk. These procedures of flashing custom ROMs are not recommended by OEMs. In case of a mishap, TechBeasts or the device manufacturer may not be held responsible.

Download and install OnePlus 3 Android 7.0 Nougat CyanogenMod 14

Make sure that your phone has a TWRP recovery with bootloader unlocked at this point.
Download latest cm-14.0-20160916-UNOFFICIAL-oneplus3.zip file and copy it to your phone’s internal storage.
Download ARM 64 Gapps.zip file according to your choice. Copy this file to your phone’s internal storage as well.
Now boot your phone into TWRP recovery. To boot into TWRP recovery, first turn off your phone completely. Now press and hold Volume Down + Power Key to turn on your OnePlus 3. As soon as your phone’s screen turns on, leave the Power Key and keep the Volume Down Key pressed. Your device will now boot into TWRP recovery mode.
Once you’re in TWRP recovery, tap “Install > Locate the ROM.zip file > flash it”.
After flashing the ROM, get back to the main menu in TWRP recovery and once again tap “Install > Locate and select the Gapps.zip file > flash it”.
Now from the main menu in TWRP recovery, tap “Reboot > System”.
