In this guide, we will show you the steps to bypass the 2 week waiting time for OEM Unlocking on your Tecno device. When it comes to custom development, then Tecno would most probably occupy among the last spots on the list. One major reason for the same is the difficulty in unlocking its bootloader.
While other OEMs like Pixel, OnePlus, and Nothing simply require a single Fastboot Command and some like Samsung use a specific mode [Download Mode], none of this is possible with Tecno. However, some developers have managed to find an interesting yet equally complicated way of getting this job done, which we have documented in this guide.
However, the misery doesn’t end here. The first step in unlocking the bootloader involves enabling OEM Unlocking. On all the other Android phones, you just need to enable this toggle from the Developer Options. But Tecno doesn’t like things doing the generic way that makes sense. Instead, it always makes things complicated and adds an element of unnecesity.
In this case, Tecno requires you to create an account and wait for 2 weeks before you can enable OEM Unlocking. Why? Well, sense doesn’t previal around this OEM, so let’s purt aside this ‘why’ element. Instead, I’ll show you an interesting method using which you can easily bypass this wait time and enable this toggle right away. Follow along.

- From Developer Opitons, you can now enable the OEM Unlocking on your Tecno.
- There’s no need to add any account or wait for two weeks. Pretty impressive, right?
By Modifying the FRP Partition
- Enable Developer Options and turn on USB Debugging.
- Then extract the frp.bin file using the below command:
spd_dump.exe exec_addr 0x65015f08 fdl fdl1-dl.bin 0x65000800 fdl fdl2-dl.bin 0x9efffe00 exec r frp reset
- Transfer this file to your PC and open it via HexEditor.
- Now change the last byte from 00 to 01 [see the image].
- Save the changes and transfer the file back to the device via:
spd_dump.exe exec_addr 0x65015f08 fdl fdl1-dl.bin 0x65000800 fdl fdl2-dl.bin 0x9efffe00 exec write_part frp frp.bin reset
That’s it. These were the steps to bypass 2 week waiting time for OEM Unlocking. If you have any queries concerning the aforementioned steps, do let us know in the comments. We will get back to you with a solution as soon as possible.
