Failed Remote : Partition Flashing Is Not Allowed - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

I want to install twrp recovery in mobile me, I have to do all the tutorial that is in Google and YouTube, I am very difficult time at the CMD, from the early look good, I enter format fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, but in fact, there are writing failed (remote: partition flashing is not allowed), how do I fix this, I haven't unlock bootloader, in the setting My mobile, I have activated OEM unlock the developer option, My Mobile : xiaomi redmi note 3 pro (Kenzo)

You have to unlock bootloader first if you want to install twrp

I have a Le(Letv) LeEco 2 smartphone.
The bootloader is selected unlocked,as is usb debugging selected.
But I fail to install the TWRP recovery rom.
The excerpt after running in ADB is shown below :--->
E:\ADB+Recovery>adb reboot bootloader
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
E:\ADB+Recovery>fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-s2.img

Does this error occur ONLY when the bootloader is locked ??? In other words, does this error mean the bootloader is locked?

Yep your bootloader Is locked

Use command "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot oem unlock-go" to unlock bootloader.
After that "fastboot flash recovery ~/recovery.img"

Problem with bootloader

Hi guys,
Need some help with unlocking bootloader.
Anyway, after unlocking bootlader sucessfully and restarting, tablet doesn't load, it gets stuck after Sony and Xperia logo and keeps restarting over and over again, also after this I tried to flash boot.img of different firmwares, it doesnt boot up and doesn't go to recovery mode either.
What could be the problem?
P.S. though after this, tried to flash stock ROM with flashtool in flash mode, tablet loaded up and started working, but of course, if I try to flash any boot.img, it won't load up again...
Try looking for is it unlockable
Good day, can you try the following to check whether your tablet is unlockable?
You flash the stock firmware back,
then enter the service code in your tablet.
Then check whether it is unlockable.
The way to enter the service code is:
1) Open the Contact App,
2) Go to setting,
3) Long press the bottom area of the tablet, for maybe 10 sec?
4) After you release your finger, a dialer will come out.
5) Enter: without the quote "*#*#7378423#*#*"
6) I get this from Sony website:
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

If it show Yes, means that we need to find out other solution.
If No, then your tablet is not unlockable.
I'm Malaysian, I don't know what kind of Tablet cannot be unlocked in other region.

Okay, the unlock key is expired once used.
I think maybe you can retrieve the key again from Sony website?
Sony Unlock
The following is a note in my own guide for unlocking
Maybe you try the getvar version before unlock.
In the cmd windows type in fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
If a value is returned (it will return 0.5), it means the phone is correctly connected

I never have this problem.
Have you try fastboot other ROM's boot.img?
Not only boot.img with recovery, but real CustomROM.
Maybe you can try CyanogenMod or OmniROM.
Download it and extract it's boot.img.
Then try fastboot flash it and see.
I'm using OmniROM.

Hmm.....
After flash the cm boot.img, reboot, have you see Sony logo with purple led light on? No led light at all?
Maybe after boot up, you keep pressing volume up, until it enter recovery.
Btw, it is not necessary to enter fastboot unlock command each time. Just assume it has been unlocked.

That's the thing, I guess it doesn't unlock... Because unless I do it everytime before flashing, it fails the flashing as you can see in the output.
When I try to turn on tablet after flashing there is nothing at all, LED blinks once white and that's it. If I keep power button pressed, it keeps blinking. And it doesn't go into recovery, even though I keep pressing volume up button

And, you use flashtool to flash back the stock ftf file?
Did you untick all the ta files?

[GUIDE] How to unlock the bootloader of Nokia 2.1 and 2.1V

The overall procedure is too simple, let me tell you how.
UPDATE: Looks like it's also applicable on Nokia 2.1 V by analyzing aboot. So previous NB1-Collision reserved as reference of EDL method, in case HMD may block it soon.
Please let me know if it doesn't work on your current firmware version. I'm working on make the overall procedure much more stable.
UPDATE: Looks like NB1-Collision is the only way to unlock the bootloader. Please read this topic to acquire the tool and attempt to unlock it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=79825293
If Android 9 firmware installed, phone disassembly and wire trick required.
So we recommend users unlock the phone immediately once bought.
Following procedure is archived.
Step 1: Download firmware which consists the service bootloader file
You can download it from https://fih-firmware.hikaricalyx.com/hmd_en.html#e2m
Please download E2M-0390-0-00WW-B02 one in this case. If you're using Android 9, download E2M-108C-0-00WW-B01.
Then, extract E2M-0-0390-00WW-1-2-emmc_appsboot_service.zip to get service bootloader file, and the extract password is "WLBGFIH123".
Step 2: Boot your phone to Download mode (Fastboot mode)
You can execute following command then connect your phone when powered off, or use any other method you're familiar with:
Code:
fastboot oem alive
Step 3: Flash service bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem dm-verity (md5_of_serial_number)
Surprised huh? This command is still usable on Nokia 2.1, even on Android 9 basis, not sure why.
For example, if your Serial Number is E2MGAHIKARICALYX, the md5 checksum is 0ab1b1e9f3aacc85849341cd5fb21412, then command will be:
Code:
fastboot oem dm-verity 0ab1b1e9f3aacc85849341cd5fb21412
You can simply Google a website to calculate md5 checksum of a string.
And flash service bootloader:
Code:
fastboot flash aboot /path/to/E2M-0-0390-00WW-1-2-emmc_appsboot_service.mbn
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Step 4: Unlock the bootloader
Your phone will reboot to service bootloader. Then grant unlock permission with following commands:
Code:
fastboot oem dm-verity (md5_of_serial_number)
fastboot oem fih on
fastboot oem devlock allow_unlock
Then unlock the bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem flashing unlock_critical
When your phone is erasing userdata, then:
Code:
fastboot oem alive
(wait for triggering to download mode)
fastboot oem dm-verity (md5_of_serial_number)
fastboot oem fih on
fastboot oem devlock allow_unlock
fastboot oem unlock-go
All done. Your phone has unlocked bootloader.
Then reboot your phone to Download mode again and restore deviceinfo:
That wraps up the overall unlock procedure.
In case HMD will block this method, you can use EDL method to downgrade aboot partition from this article: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-2-1/how-to/nb1-collision-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t3938072/
Many thanks,,

UPDATE: Looks like it's also applicable on Nokia 2.1 V by analyzing aboot. So previous NB1-Collision reserved as reference of EDL method, in case HMD may block it soon.
Please let me know if it doesn't work on your current firmware version. I'm working on make the overall procedure much more stable.
Step 1: Download firmware which consists the service bootloader file
You can download it from https://fih-firmware.hikaricalyx.com/hmd_en.html#e2m
Please download E2M-0390-0-00WW-B02 one in this case. If you're using Android 9, download E2M-108C-0-00WW-B01.
Then, extract E2M-0-0390-00WW-1-2-emmc_appsboot_service.zip to get service bootloader file, and the extract password is "WLBGFIH123".
Step 2: Boot your phone to Download mode (Fastboot mode)
You can execute following command then connect your phone when powered off, or use any other method you're familiar with:
Code:
fastboot oem alive
Step 3: Flash service bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem dm-verity (md5_of_serial_number)
Surprised huh? This command is still usable on Nokia 2.1, even on Android 9 basis, not sure why.
For example, if your Serial Number is E2MGAHIKARICALYX, the md5 checksum is 0ab1b1e9f3aacc85849341cd5fb21412, then command will be:
Code:
fastboot oem dm-verity 0ab1b1e9f3aacc85849341cd5fb21412
You can simply Google a website to calculate md5 checksum of a string.
And flash service bootloader:
Code:
fastboot flash aboot /path/to/E2M-0-0390-00WW-1-2-emmc_appsboot_service.mbn
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Step 4: Unlock the bootloader
Your phone will reboot to service bootloader. Then grant unlock permission with following commands:
Code:
fastboot oem dm-verity (md5_of_serial_number)
fastboot oem fih on
fastboot oem devlock allow_unlock
Then unlock the bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem flashing unlock_critical
When your phone is erasing userdata, then:
Code:
fastboot oem alive
(wait for triggering to download mode)
fastboot oem dm-verity (md5_of_serial_number)
fastboot oem fih on
fastboot oem devlock allow_unlock
fastboot oem unlock-go
All done. Your phone has unlocked bootloader.
Then reboot your phone to Download mode again and restore deviceinfo:
That wraps up the overall unlock procedure.
In case HMD will block this method, you can use EDL method to downgrade aboot partition from this article: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-2-1/how-to/nb1-collision-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t3938072/

The unlock can only be done via any of the two:
1. Disassemble > Trigger EDL mode.
2. The paid remote unlock service.

thnx for the guide man keep it up
some one posted the same problem : after the "fastboot oem dm-verity (md5_of_serial_number)" command it shows "FAILED (remote: unknown command)" ,any solution so i can continue unlocking my device ??
im also getting "FAILED (remote: unknown command)"
EDM not working either

anyone who had the "FAILED (remote: unknown command)"
try typing your serial number in uppercase, that worked for me, but now im stuck on "fastboot oem fih on" i get the remote error

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!
Hey so I installed adb and ran the phone under fastboot but when I run fastboot oem lock all it says in the windows powershell is < waiting for any device >

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:

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)
