I am trying to unlock the bootloader of my ZTE Blade L3 by using "fastboot oem unlock".
As many users, I get an option on my phone to choose yes or no using the volume buttons, but the volume up Button is not working in the fastboot mode.
I already checked:
-the Bootloader IS LOCKED
-the volume up button IS WORKING normaly in the stock recovery and system
-i have installed the correct ADB and fastboot drivers
This Bug is well-known and there is still no solution.
Could anyone help me or did anyone found a work around to unlock the bootloader on MTK devices with the same issue?

Has anybody ever gotten this boot loader to unlock on this specific model ? Ive been trying for days and I have the unlock code that DC unlocker furnished. ADB keeps saying failed and it sees my device. It has a funny boot loader with limited options, not like your normal boot loader. I would really like to unlock it and install twrp. Ive had great success with other phones and tablets but this one here is a booger. Any feed back or solutions would be great. Love this phone.just not EMUI...
Huawei Sensa on sale for $19.99 Refurb
I am looking for the same answers. I bought 5 of these phones at $20 each refurbed. I would like to use them for fun/stupid projects. Root would be required for some of my projects. TWRP would be very nice as well. If any one has any insight. I got on huawei support chat. They claim it is a Snapdragon 615 Soc , it is underclocked to 1.2Ghz to keep the heat issues to a minimum.

This phone have a root method ? H715BL version
ANYONE ?
Same question here. I got as far as getting a boot unlock code. I can't seem to get into fastboot. Oem Unlock is turned on. I did Volume down+Power from off, and I tried Volume down + inserting usb cable. No luck. I also ran the adb command "reboot bootloader". Still no fastboot.
When I run fastboot command while in the screen with the little android (volume down + Power) the phone is listed but "fastboot oem unlock" fails as an unknown command.
Do we really need to unlock the bootloader for root? Isn't it just for Twrp? I can do without Twrp since I'll have other rooted backup methods. I'll try a few root apps and see I guess.
gggirlgeek::: how did you manage get bootloader unlock code
To unlock bl need latest platform tool sdk to send fastboot commands

Please use latest platform sdk tools and run fastboot from there
Gggirlgeek:: Maybe fastboot reboot recovery … then from recovery reboot bootloader. I guess it can work just that i not have unlock code yet
This is a goddamn rare phone and it's driving me crazy. I already enabled USB debugging and OEM unlocking, downloaded all of its latest drivers and used Kingroot, Kingoroot and minimal ADB and fastboot console to try and unlock its bootloader (adb reboot bootloader command) and manual bootloader (both volume buttons + power button, which only shows me to the phone's IMEI number), but the stubborn little thing just refuses to open the bootloader.
Any guru out there who can give me insight on how to fix this?
Hi, I'm Apurba
I have an old Gionee P5L
I want to become a super user, so I want to root the device, but first I've to unlock it's bootloader.
I tried many ways, I used Bugjeager android application, ADB commend and many more windows tools.
In most case I followed the following commands…
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
after that I got a confirmation on my Gionee P5L device about unlocking the bootloader, and I selected YES using the volume and power key.
after that I got this things…
Select boot mode:
VOLUME_UP to select. VOLUME_DOWN is OK
Recovery Mode
Fastboot Mode <
Normal Boot
but in here power & volume keys are not working, I can't move the arrow and can't select anything using
Anyone have any idea about this?
Here are the steps I did to unlock the bootloader
git clone https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
cd mtkclient
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py install
python mtk xflash seccfg unlock <---- this did not work
python mtk da seccfg unlock <---- this one worked for me
And follow the instructions on the screen. Turn off phone and then hold both vol buttons and plug in cable
# To erase metadata and userdata (before flashing new rom)
python3 mtk e metadata,userdata,md_udc
Hold both vol buttons and plug in after running

Thanks for sharing your experience!
I am going to buy this phone: POCO M4 PRO 4G. But I have a few questions.
Can you root this device - POCO M4 PRO 4G? Can you install custom recovery such as TWRP?
Any advice for not bricking this device? If bricked, is there a way to unbrick it? (such as using special auth account like in"redmi note 8 pro" case)
Out of interest, why would you use this method to unlock the bootloader rather than use the official Xiaomi bootloader unlock tool?
So, I decided to go with the mtkclient bootloader unlock option because I don't like the idea of the official unlocking procedure requiring a SIM in the phone (maybe I'm paranoid...).
I have a POCO M4 Pro 4G (2201117PG) and the instructions worked for me.
Obviously you first have to activate developer mode and turn on USB debugging and OEM unlocking.
Then turn your phone off and ensure it's not plugged in via USB. Only once you've run the first mtkclient command (python mtk da seccfg unlock) do you plug the phone in then turn it on whilst holding both volume buttons simulaneously.
Follow the instructions. The process is very quick. When it is done unplug your phone and turn it on. For me a message warned me that my phone is corrupted and told me to click the power button to boot anyway.
Following the usual factory setup the unlocked bootloader status is displayed in the developer options settings pane.

Thank you very much for the detail instructions!
What are you going to do after unlocking bootloader? Root? Install TWRP revovery? Any instructions for the next steps?
MTK is famous for hard bricked phone, be careful.
Edit: I just saw your post on "how to root it":
hey i followed your tutorial to unlock my bootloader but after using fastboot erase fishheads but the following error appeared; (failed) remote; not allowed in locked state. so my bootloader is not unlocked. Explaining how it happened a little better; I tried to unlock the bootloader of my redmi note 11s 5g using another cellphone, I thought it wouldnt be such a bad idea, but my phone at the boot started to have the following error at the boot of my cellphone; dm verity corruption. I did not use my pc because at the time it was being fixed. I tried to use xiaomi unlock tool to unlock the bootloader to flash another rom to unbrick my device, but I was having a lot of erros about my mi account; it have to be connected at my device, but how tf I connect a mi account to a device with no system?
Hello i wanted to ask about this since i dont see any other thread related to my issue, im trying to install magisk root and im at the stage of accessing fastboot/bootloader, when i go to recovery mode and select "reboot to bootloader" it just restarts the phone, i have tried adb commands didnt work either, same result, just restarts. The "unlock oem" option under developer options is enabled, i could flash another firmware of the same phone with SPD upgrade tool and its still not letting me get into bootloader, (to do this i must press down vol down and connect the usb while the program is on, and it is detected, otherwise it just restarts adb and fastboot tools will not detect it as download mode) any idea or suggestions on how I could root the phone, been thinking about twrp but not sure it would let me install that, looked into many pages about rooting this device and none show anything related maybe its not possible, i saw there are phones with blocked bootloader. the phone is android 9
Have you tried to
- flash the boot.img from the stockfirmware;
- install a recovery (twrp, orangefox, etc.) and rebooted to fastboot from recovery?

TWRP and orangefox dont support my phone, there may be something unnoficial for twrp as i search and im not sure i can flash the phone with a specific boot file since to flash i use a single .pac file that contains the rom ill look into this
For now im not able to flash the phone with custom boot.img or recovery.img maybe i need to pack specific files i dont know about i give up for today
Sorry to hear that...
Have you tried the following command?
Apache config:
adb reboot bootloader
