"fatsboot devices" is ok, my phone is recognized.
But, fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xXXXXXXXXXXXX return: "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"
Any ideas? maybe a driver problem? strange, I never had this kind of problem with Z1c or Z3.... (it have tried too with flashtool, same message...)

And created a folder with my device's serial and put ulcode in it (folder is at flashtool/custom/mydevices) and got the error bootloader cannot be unlocked offically.

My device is E6803
Is there anyone to help?
Any help?
Do you have OEM unlocking on in developer options?
Yeah man, I have. And that was the problem. Thanks for your help

If your android rooted using KingRoot then it must your bootloader is unlocked.
Try command in fastboot mode
"fastboot oem device-info" then see bootloader unlocked is true or false. If true means your bootloader is unlocked.
What ever i am typing its saying only "FAILED <remote: unknown command>"
Only the working code is "fastboot devices" 😥

Bootloader unlock error????

Hey guys, I Need some help, I'm trying to unlock bootloader, but my device doesn't recognize fastboot commands like "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" Or "fastboot oem flashing_unlock", why?
Ps: Motorola drivers ok, usb cable ok, oem unlock and usb debugging ok
Error: FAILED (remote: 'unknown command' )

There is a way, but you have to wait for Motorola to make this year's USB drivers available: this is how you enter the adb folder and rename the incone mfastboot to fastboot done this in the control panel Or on powershel you put it
.\fastboot oem get_unlock_data.
This appears on my <waiting for device> even though I installed the drivers But last year, so I think we should expect Motorola to make this year's USB drivers available
I'm having trouble even getting it to prompt for usb debugging authorisation. I'v got adb &fastboot, I've enabled dev options and usb debugging but when I connect it via data cable it doesn't prompt for authorisation.
I am thinking maybe a driver issue but I can't seem to find the drivers anywhere.
Any ideas/help? would be much appreciated.
According to this

short anwer: no
long answer: maybe?
for that i read you might want to proceed with a factory-reset and block any update. in this way, that command will work. honestly i gave a try to it, but nothing changed. the smartphone is pretty good, why the hell did Motorola want to prevent such actions? i don't understand that yet.

Question How to lock the bootloader

I bought the Asus ZenFone 8 Flip with the bootloader unlocked, it is not running a custom ROM. How do I lock the bootloader? Thank you
Try this with fastboot:
fastboot oem lock
However, this won't restore your warranty and you won't receive updates, since surely who has unlocked your device has used the official bootloader unlock tool which registers your serial number

how do I go about something like that? I would only like to be on official software so how will I not be able to receive updates?

You won't get OTA updates, but you can still update manually downloading the zip from Asus website.
Unfortunately that's the price if you unlock the device (not only for Asus, a lot of other manufacturers (i.e. Sony) do this too)

interesting... So I don't know how to lock the bootloader precisely. So I download the latest firmware from the Asus website, plug the phone into the computer run fastboot then what? Am I missing something?

No, just follow these steps:
Make a backup of your phone!! Unlocking/Locking the bootloader erases all your data partition (so all your stuff will be gone!)
Install ADB on your PC if you don't have it (check how to install it: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/).
Plug in your device via USB with Debug USB setting enabled (in Developer Settings)
Open a terminal prompt on your PC
In the terminal run adb devices. If you see your device I the list then you're fine. Otherwise, you have mistaken something in the previous steps.
Run adb reboot fastboot (or adb reboot bootloader if it doesn't work) to reboot into fastboot mode
Run fastboot oem lock to lock the bootloader
Run fastboot reboot to reboot the system
Your device is now locked!

I'm not responsible of any data loss, damages and/or bricks you make to your device(s) by following this guide!

To update the system when a new version is out, since you won't receive OTAs:
Go to Zenfone 8 Flip support page: https://www.asus.com/Mobile/Phones/ZenFone/Zenfone-8-Flip/HelpDesk_Download/
Choose Android as OS and scroll down to "Firmware"
Download the latest zip
Put it in the internal storage (in the root directory, not inside another folder!)
Two paths:
If you put the zip from PC via USB simply unplug the USB cable
If you downloaded the zip and put it manually via file manager from the phone reboot the system
A notification should pop out, notifying you there is a firmware package to install!
Just follow the notification message and you'll be done!

Oh that's an issue I have all the times with Asus devices. There's a simple one-time fix though: just install the official Asus ADB drivers.
Download them from this page (I know it's the smaller Zenfone 8 page, but they work with every Asus device): https://www.asus.com/it/Mobile/Phones/ZenFone/Zenfone-8/HelpDesk_Download/
Choose your windows version (for 10 and 11 choose 8.1)
Download the USB driver
Extract the archive somewhere in your PC
Open Device manager in your PC (search it in start menu) while the phone is connected via USB and in fastboot mode
You'll notice an unknown device with a yellow/orange warning icon at the top of the devices list. Right click on it and choose Update drivers.
Choose "Search driver in the PC" (the second option (don't choose the first one since it searches the driver automatically on Windows update))
Choose the folder you extracted
Click "Next"
Drivers should be installed and fastboot should recognize your device (to test run the command: fastboot devices)
Sorry for the late reply, but I didn't get any notification from XDA
there were two options for drivers android adb and android composite adb drivers I selected the composite one but it doesn't seem like it was installed
Kiribro02 said:
When I try to update the drivers it says that windows was unable to install your and then it says the device.

Do you installed the drivers when the phone is in fastboot mode?
Also, I've noticed some steps are not clear (and one is doubled), I'll clean it

Try all the two, I don't remember which one works (I think the Composite worked for me), but try also with the other ones
Hi,
I've bought a second hand zenfone 8 flip. After Hard Reset I have to enter the old PIN to continue. The problem is the seller doesn't have the PIN and is not willing to take the phone back. ASUS is not willing to help because I bought it second hand.
I already flashed with raw firmware, but this is still coming up.
Any ideas? Should I start a new thread?

It's not working for me, please help:
C:\platform-tools>fastboot devices
M4AIB760******* fastboot
C:\platform-tools>fastboot oem lock
FAILED (remote: 'Command not supported in default implementation')
fastboot: error: Command failed
So, as you can see, the driver is installed correctly as I get an answer from fastboot devices, but then the OEM lock doesn't work.
Are there any other ways to re-lock it?
Thank you!

@wyktron can you try this? This worked with my Zenfone 6 some years ago, it might be the same for ZF8 Flip, due to Asus customization:
Bash:
fastboot oem asus-back

As mentioned here check if you have enabled Debug USB and OEM unlock in developer options and try to reboot into bootloader (with either fastboot reboot bootloader or adb reboot bootloader)

@maicol07 there's no OEM unlock in my developer options, only the USB debugging (which is already on)
besides this oem method, is there another way to lock it? perhaps through the zenfone flash tool (I have it installed and it detects my phone, but never used it)

Hi there,
The response itself says that you have not allowed your oem to be unlocked. Turn on the Developer option, then enable oem unlocking and try again.
