If you are unable to get into recovery mode does this mean bootloader is unlocked? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
How are you?
I have a phone Redmi 4x and I planned to root it. So after I purchased it , I checked if the bootloader is unlocked with two methods, from pc and from Setting menu and at both places , it seem unlocked.
I saw the device has no recovery mode installed.
So can someone please confirm if the bootloader is unlocked or no?

If you can't access recovery, that does not mean your bootloader is locked, they're 2 different partitions.
In fastboot, do "fastboot oem unlock" and see what that tells you.

Bootloader locked or not, recovery mode is always accessible. If you can't nail the button combination, use a method that will always word - adb
open adb
type:
Code:
adb devices
confirms your phone drivers are installed.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
you ll boot to recovery. If you can't see anything means stock recovery doesnt have an interface. Then just flash another recovery.
To check bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
To unlock bootloader :
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
reboot:
Code:
fastboot reboot
to temporarily flash a recover.img :
Code:
fastboot boot "path/to/recovery.img"
Thats everything you need to solve your problem.
Hit thanks if it helped

(Guide) Unlock boot loader root HTC Jet stream

hi all
the guide to how to unlock the bootloader and root your HTC Jeststrema
but before that all the credit to have root for DooMLoRD
Step 1: unlock your bootloeder from www.htcdev.com
you will not find that jetstream is listed on the site but don't worry just follow the instruction on the site and you will unlock your boot loader.
step 2: root your jetstream
Follow this thread by DeooMLoRd http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1416145
Insecure kernel + autorooting test2
download link: http://www.multiupload.com/ARWHD9V11Q
reboot into fastboot mode (adb reboot bootloader)
check if device is detected (fastboot devices)
if its detected then try hotbooting this kernel u downloaded (fastboot boot filename.img)
if the device boots u should have superuser in app drawer
incase u dont just check the output of this command (adb shell ls -l /DooM*)
step 3:
then download the v02 toolkit for JetStream files and extract contents in root directory of ur pc (e.g: c:\ OR d:\)
link : http://www.multiupload.com/OZSJFQTQX7
then just connect device (with my insecure kernel on it) and activate USB debugging...
then execute RUNME.bat
thats it
ur device should now be permanently rooted after reboot...
again all the credits for DooMLoRD
thanks and have a fune
after the bootloader unlocking step kindly redirect the users to my thread:

Reboot into bootloader, then enter fastboot and do:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Once locked, go ahead and run the RUU while in the bootloader.

Bootloader Unlock for MTK device(MT6592)

Greetings, I own a tablet that has MT6592 Chipset. It has CPU (Cortex A7) and GPU(Mali-450).
It runs on kitkat 4.4.2. I want to flash a Custom ROM on it.
I have the Custom ROM File, but i am unable to unlock the bootloader to install TWRP(Easy TWRP maker).
Using ADB i tried to unlock the bootloader.
I typed in the command : fastboot oem unlock ,
Then i get a message on my screen saying, "Press Volume up to unlock (This will void warranty)"
When i do so, it shows a fail message.
Image 1:

I think you haven't installed correct fastboot drivers.
This "bug" is known at some MTK-devices. There are some solutions for a few devices, by using patched boot.img, but none for this. Did you find a solution yet?

What phone do you have? V30 is not the correct answer.
Are you saying you have installed TWRP or trying to install TWRP? Please write complete sentences.
If you used the WTF INSTRUCTIONS, I tell you how to boot to TWRP the first time. And it's not any you have listed.
It's a bit confusing what yer trying to do... to me anyway.
But... your developer options indicate the 'Bootloader is already unlocked'...
So, what are you trying to do? unlock it again? just get to bootloader?

Yeah, his bootloader is already unlocked. I assume he trying to boot to TWRP custom recovery and he's calling it the bootloader, for some unknown reason.
But I also want to know what variant he has...
In WTF I tell how to boot to TWRP using fastboot commands.

You need fastboot flash commands. If you can't even ADB to bootloader, your "box" fix did not work to make it be complete US998.
Go into download mode and install H930 KDZ. Just like WTF tells you to do with Korean models to get fastboot flash commands. Then ADB to bootloader.

[Q] Is it possible to easily unlock the bootloader?

Hi everyone,
before buying this phone (and don't make the same mistake, HUGE MISTAKE, I did with OPPO (never more OPPO in my life),
I'd like to ask if with this new Realme X3 is it possible to easily unlock the bootloader with the normal procedure like
"Developer Option -> OEM Unlock -> and then unlock the bootloader by ADB command line".
Thank you all.
Yes, it can be unlocked from developer options
*does not work, need to wait for in-depth test apk

Is that it? I guess this is not all - don't you need to run the in-depth-test.apk and make an unlock request?
Using a Realme X3 SS now, waiting for Realme to publish the apk for unlocking this model.
Hey, owners. What does fastboot oem device-info says?
Or maybe even fastboot reboot-edl (reboot edl).
How can we research the inner partitions and protections like Secure Boot of this one?

Sorry, new to realme devices. Needs this in depth test apk thing. Was'nt aware
Adb devices works shows device used it to disable useless apps but doesn't boot in fastboot with adb reboot bootloader. Simply reboots. So nothing for fastboot devices or fastboot oem device-info. Need to wait for apk seems.

This works downloaded DeepTesting_realme 6pro.apk from other forum as there is 404 error in attachment. But it works. Reached bootloader first time. Device name msmnile. Didn't actually do fastboot flashing unlock as need to take backup first but deep test apk works.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/16az-7SHoPyJhDIi4p4x7wj1cRUcsPwCM/view
Im thinking about buying X3 (Not the super zoom version tho). Any ETA on how long realme takes to launch the unlock apk?

I tried it via fastboot mode ("Restart Bootloader" option and when in recovery mode I typed the command) and it leads to the initial video.

I think that is different. The adb command should have the device stay in bootloader mode so you might be able to flash the latest factory image.
Got it to work. For future reference I needed to install the USB drivers and the Android Flash tool worked perfectly, thank you very much!
