    Note that the step “Unlock bootloader of Nokia 7 Plus” links to a page that just has a generic method for unlocking bootloaders, which probably doesn’t work on this phone. It seems like the only way to unlock the bootloader on this phone, for now, is to send $5 to an anonymous guy over the internet who will send you an unlock code.

    Thanks for this heads up @lewy_b

    Well, this is something bad from Nokia’s (HMD) end.
    I personally don’t encourage any pay services, especially on Android devices where most of the things are on the web because of it’s open source nature.

    Open source is the only thing because of which most of the developers contribute to a certain project like Android AOSP.

    I will keep my eyes open to see if any working method is available on the web to unlock bootloader on Nokia 7 Plus and like devices.
