I am trying to unlock the bootloader on this thing.
I've gone in to Settings > Developer Options and checked 'OEM unlocking'.
I've enabled USB debugging.
I plugged the phone in and issued 'adb reboot-bootloader'.
...Then the phone powers off, comes on and just gives me the Huawei logo as if it is stuck. It does not respond to 'fastboot devices' or 'adb devices', only solution is battery out/battery in.
I then tried powering on using power+volume up to get to recovery (which works) and choosing the option for 'reboot to bootloader'. I get the same Huawei logo screen as above.
I then tried powering on using power+volume down, this takes me to what appears to be a hardware test page which is all in chinese. Looks the same as this: http://imgur.com/a/eE3hb
I have now rooted with Kingroot and tried again, although I know that it shouldn't make any difference at the bootloader stage whether I am rooted or not. But worth a try.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

I have the Huawei Ascend Y300-0151 and am trying to unlock the bootloader, in which I cannot get through their website because it's really buggy and won't accept my information.
So these are the steps I've taken:
- Download SDK Manager and install platform-tools and Google USB Driver
- Boot my phone up and connect to the PC
- I can run the command 'adb devices' and my device shows with a unique ID.
- Boot my phone into recovery/download mode (purple screen).
- Connect my phone, the PC detects it.
- However, when I run the command 'fastboot devices', nothing shows up.
Yes, I have installed a driver for my device and it's now showing as Android Bootloader Interface.
I've run out of ideas and have been googling for answers for a very long time, but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Given that your attempting to unlock the bootloader of your Huawei device, you should probably send an email to Huawei support requesting for your bootloader unlock code (thats what I did and they replied asking for my device information, and I gave it to them to which I then got my unlock code). For ADB to work you need to boot into fastboot mode, not recovery, then simply use the bootloader unlock code with the following command in cmd: fastboot oem unlock <insert your code here>
And then your done. Be cautious when unlocking your bootloader as you should make sure you have your developer options enabled and the "allow bootloader to be unlocked" option enabled as well.

I have e-mailed them 2 weeks ago and they are not replying. You're meant to do it through their website, but as I've said, I supply the correct information and it either re-directs to a page that is not there or says I am not entering my information correctly when I've done it over and over again.
The purple screen is fastboot mode isn't it? Because that's the screen I'm entering the commands in, but it's not showing up. I cannot enter in a code for fastboot oem unlock because my device will not be recognized by fastboot in the first place.
So before I am to unlock my bootloader, I'm trying to get my device recognized by fastboot.

You can send them an email to get the unlock code, trust me, thats what I did. Maybe try contacting them via their support section of their site if you didn't do so last time.
By the "purple screen" do you mean the screen with options such as "HBOOT", "Fastboot", "Reboot" etc.? The "fastboot devices" command should work if it is recognised by the command "adb devices"

I'll give it a go again, thanks.
By purple screen, I mean holding down the power button and both volume control buttons and the screen boots into a purple screen. Just a purple screen, that's it. I can boot into two other modes by holding down the power button and the volume up button and another by holding the power button and volume down button. I don't have a boot mode that displays any options as you've listed above.
EDIT: I'm in fastboot mode now! It was the mode where you hold down the power button and volume down button. Hahaha. I'll let you know how I get on with unlocking the bootloader. Thanks for your help
No problem, if you found my replies helpful please press the thanks button! It is much appreciated!
For the life of me I can not get my wife's phone into bootloader mode. I have read tons of threads that all say to either hold down power and vol down OR plug in the usb cord (connected to computer) while holding the vol down button.
The power+vol down results in the recovery mode and the other causes a vibration then goes to the %charging screen.
I have adb working cause it returns the device number and also reboots... BUT neither <adb reboot recovery> OR <adb reboot-bootloader> does anything but reboot normally.
Here's the deal, I am trying to get her stock phone to run Android Pay but it fails the safety net. There is a chance that I unlocked the bootloader but without having access to fastboot I can't run <fastboot getvar unlocked> to check.
So my questions are:
Is there some way to get into fastboot that I am missing?
Is there a way to know if the bootloader is unlocked besides fastboot command?
Any thoughts on reasons a stock phone would fail safety net besides the unlocked bootloader is welcome also.
Thanks.
PS. This V-10 in nothing like ny Nexus phones. LOL
Hello guys!

Hi...
You apparently have enabled developer options and usb debugging. Did you also enable OEM unlocking from the same menu?

On your device, go to Settings -----> About phone. Tap 7 times on the “build number“. You should now have enabled developer mode. Go back to the Settings menu and enter "Developer options" and enable USB debugging. Also check “OEM unlocking“. (It might be that you firstly have to connect the phone to a PC and tick “always allow this computer”and then get back to developer options menu and check “OEM unlocking“.
You may then start working with adb and fastboot.
(ps. Be aware that unlocking the bootloader triggers automatic factory reset - you will lose what you have not backed up)

Ok... Step by step... Please make sure you type exactly the commands as shown here:
1. type adb devices if it works, and shows your device then:
2. type adb reboot bootloader. If it works, and you should boot to bootloader. Next:
3. type: fastboot devices. Is you device stiil listed??? If not then there is some kind of trouble here. Your device is listed by adb, but not fastboot. If that is the case I personally do not have experience to help out. The only thing I can think of is that you may have missing drivers that do not allow correct communication between you device and PC.
If that is not the case and your device is listed by fastboot, then:
4. type: fastboot oem unlock. It will show that it is waiting. You will have to look at your device's screen and by using the devices buttons CONFIRM oem ulocking (on your device, not the windows command prompt)
5. If all goes well, your device should ask ask to reboot. Either reboot from menu, or just hold down the power button for a while.
6. After reboot, if all went well, your device will restart and perform an automatic factory reset. You cannot do anything about it. It just happens with OEM unlocking. At this point let it boot normally, and re-enable developer options and usb debugging to continue with root process, or anything that you want to do.
Can't thing of anything else for the moment... Let us know how it goes, perhaps a more experienced member, could share some insights???
I have already enabled usb debugging and oem unlocking yet neither adb reboot bootloader nor using the volume down + power button boot into bootloader mode, both of them lead to the tablet restarting normally to system

The problem is at Step 2 adb reboot bootloader only reboot device not booting it into bootloader.
anyone else getting this problem?
Let's wake this thread in a bang! ?
Come on guys! Did anyone manage to deal with the problem? I have absolutely the same issue. Step 2 is the problem for me too. No fastboot mode neither through adb reboot bootloader nor the tablet physical buttons. I get either a normal reboot or the stock recovery which has not many options.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Hi guys,
This Is my first post so I hope I do it correctly. As the title says I am having problems with fastboot on my Acer Iconia One 10 B3-A40. I have enabled developer settings on my device and turned on the setting to unlock OEM. The problem is when I try to run the tablet in fastboot mode to unlock the OEM through ADB commands. When connected to my computer and running the command "adb devices" it shows my device Id and that it is connected. I then run the command "adb reboot-bootloader" to which the tablet switches off and makes the chime that it was disconnected from the computer and makes another chime and connects back onto the computer, the screen on my tablet remains blank with no indication it is in fastboot mode. When I run the command "fastboot devices" my device id shows up again that it is connected. When I originally tried to flash a patched boot image of my stock firmware it went through the process and failed mid way through saying it couldn be done cos the device was locked. After that I googled a bit to see what to do so that’s when I realised OEM unlock was to be switched on in developer settings and also using ADB commands. After returning to fast boot mode I ran the command "fastboot oem unlock" the 3 dots come up on command prompt to show the process is going but nothing happens on my device. Nothing will happen if I press the power button or the volume down button but if I press the volume up bottom, on command prompt it shows OKAY and then the amount of seconds it took to complete, the time changes based on how quick or long i take to press the volume up button but the device remains locked. I have being trying to find a solution for days and have searched everything i could find before making this post. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help.
Hi, My Nokia 1 (TA-1047) is now in "No Command" mode.
I installed TWRP recovery previously and tried to root but failed. Then I installed stock recovery and phone started normally. As the phone started normally, I locked OEM through Fastboot mode and disabled OEM unlocking from "Developer Option".
But while installing "system update" from "Settings", it showed error and went to "No Command" mode.
Now I'm unable to flash anything through Fastboot mode because the OEM is locked. Also I'm unable to change OEM unlocking from "Developer Option" as the phone is not starting.
Is there any option to unlock OEM without the help of "Developer Option"?

Edit. Okay, ignore most of what i said down there as after re-reading your post you seem to have a grasp on fastboot, the no command bit still applies though i think
"No Command" mode
If your talking about the recovery with the android image in the background, then there might still be hope, for some reason, the recovery starts up in this mode, showing the "no cammand" message, its fiddly, but you have to press the power button and either volume up or volume down repeatedly, in the end i was button spamming all the buttons and eventually the recovery menu showed up. Carefull to stop pushing buttons when the menu shows up as the buttons are how you navigate(v+,v-) and choose options(power button)
Whether that gives you any options i dont know, you could try a factory reset from the recovery menu, i suppose, or try the posted ota in the other thread if nokia has`nt released official firmware, although im not sure if you can use stock recovery to flash unofficial firmware, best bet is to try and boot into fastboot and use adb on another computer to flash the firmware that way, assuming the firmware files are available.
Most android devices have a way to boot into recovery or fastboot/bootloader using hardware keys
Quick google found this (works?)
Power off
Connect Micro USB to computer.
"In the next step hold down Volume Down + Power key for a short while"
Let go of the buttons when fastboot comes up
Using the computer with adb installed, go to a command terminal and type "fastboot devices" without quotes, you`ll know everythings working if your the device is listed in terminal after typing that command. From there look up fastboot flashing firmware or something to that extent, this is assuming you managed to find the correct firmware for your device and have it stored in your computer
I`d be real carefull here with fastboot, flashing wrong image file could make things much worse, at least it seems you can boot to recovery, so hopefully a factory reset fixes things, use fastboot as last resort i.e if its new job is a paperweight, as i dont think theres any particular guide on doing this specifically for the nokia 1, but i havent checked thouroughly so i could be wrong, take a look and see..............
And let us know if/how you managed to get it working
Goodluck
