“Enable OEM Unlock” setting auto disables on N6 and N9
On the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9, some of you may have noticed that the “Enable OEM Unlock” security setting in developer options seems to auto-reset to disabled.
I asked around and found more info about this behavior. The auto-resetting of “Enable OEM Unlock” to disabled is an intentional security feature by Google, and it happens after a certain number of reboots.
Significance? Nothing you need to worry about, or constantly keep trying to re-enable once you are unlocked already.
Just make note of this setting and behavior if you intend on relocking your bootloader (which should only be done if you are reselling/returning). More specifically, if you plan on relocking, you should first flash stock, and make sure everything is running smoothly, so if you need to re-enable this setting to unlock again, you can do so easily.
Main point: don’t bother relocking your bootloader unless you absolutely need to, and are sure your device is healthy before doing so.
I will be adding a little notice about this in the relock info message in the kit in the up-coming v2.0.5 release.
Stay tuned, and happy flashing.
