I have a little isssue with the bootloader...
Sometime ago, i have unlock the bootloader easily, no problems.
But now, i have checked if it is unlocked, and it is no longer
So i have tried to re-unlock it, and fastboot display that's okay and my phone reboot into recovery.
I have rebooted it into bootloader mode, typed "fastboot oem device-info" and nobody is true !
What do you think about this ?
Ps: Sorry for bad english
Okay, calm down.
Go to developer options and see if "OEM Unlocking" is enabled. If not, enable it.
Cool. Now enable USB Debugging, connect the phone to PC, open CMD and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
then
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Download TWRP from the official website, rename it to recovery.img and then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Now you have a recovery and an unlocked bootloader. Profit?
I hope this helps.
Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't work
I have only my old recovery (who is twrp in is latest version, no problems with that )
But suddenly i wondere if unlocked bootlooder is useful if i have already an recovery
Finally, i have followed the mega unbrick guide.
Hello there. I have a Nokia 6.1 with android 9.0 and i tried to root it. I enabled the developer mode, then enabled usb debugging.
But when i tried to unlock the bootloader, i couldn't because the OEM unlocking option stays greyed out on off. So when i installed adb and fastboot, i tried to boot by adb reboot bootloader but the fastboot can't do anything because it says device is locked.
I even factory reset the device, nothing. Same thing.
What should i do? Preferably not the paid unlock...
Thanks in advance.
Try this (It will wipe the phone, so create a backup of all important files before proceeding):
1. Connect your phone to your PC with an USB cable (make sure you have activated USB debugging in developer options)
2. Run adb
3. Type in adb reboot bootloader
4. Once your phone has rebooted type in fastboot flashing unlock or fastboot oem unlock
You should have unlocked your bootloader and you should be good to go, if it doesn't work then you'll need an unlock key, which unfortunately you'll have to pay for
If you think that you have misunderstood some steps then feel free to reply
Is it possible to install twrp recovery and root using magisk in this phone or not possible because of mediatek processor?
Bhai have patience , this is Mediatek we all know but another thing to notice is This is MT- g95 SoC ?
Orange state in realme 7 when bootloader unlocked but unable to use fastboot.
I have unlocked my realme 7 bootloader with in-depth test built for realme 6 pro. It is working. But now after unlocking the phone factory resets itself and when trying to go into fastboot mode with ADB command ADB reboot bootloader the fastboot verify check fails all the time. So how to go into fastboot mode after bootloader unlock. This issue never happened when I start in-depth test after permissions. It's very strange that even after unlocking the phone is not booting into fastboot mode while giving error in verification. Guys can anyone knows how to solve this. Please reply asap.

I think your adb driver not working please install adb driver reinstall and verfiy fails problem solve, thanks
No no adb driver is working and tested on other devices. I think the problem is with smartphone serial key ( It shows serial key mismatch and therefore fastboot unlock verify fail in fastboot mode).
To Root you phone:-
Download your device boot image > download magisk manager > patch your device boot image > go to fastboot mode > type in command >fastboot --disable-verity--disable-verification > flash vbmeta (fastboot flash vbmeta (put your vbmeta path here) > flash magisk patched image (fastboot flash boot (put your patched file path here) now reboot your phone it will be rooted if on First boot it didn't then reboot your device
Hello I have a xiaomi mi mix 3 5g that I never removed the bootloader on, as it had the stock EU firmware on. It has recently been updated to to MIUI12. however the battery went low and went all weird and now constantly reboots.
I can get to fastboot by holding down the power and volume down, I have also tried a wipe device by holding down the power and up. From what I have read I i cant re-install fastboot firmware without and unlocked bootloader. (can someone confirm that this is correct) as its not clear.
***I have now confirmed this I have tried to install firmware using xiaomi flash tool and fails with the following
"Error: erasing boot Failed remote erase is not allowed in locked state. so this confirms it.
Also I cant unlock the bootloader as it wont boot. Does any body have any idea of what I can do with this phone? any help would be apprciated
thanks
The error I get when trying the mi unlock tool
Couldn't Unlock
Please add your account in MIUI;s Settings > Developer options > Mi Unlock Status
Seems the update miserably failed, Android OS got corrupted. My suggestion: Re-flash phone's Stock ROM ( phone's battery should be fully charged ! ).
To keep you updated:
FASTBOOT is a program used to manipulate ( list, install, erase ) the non-volatile memory such as flash filesystem partitions on devices that adhere to the fastboot protocol, via a USB connection from a host computer. It requires that the device be started in a boot loader mode ( AKA fastboot mode ) with the fastboot protocol enabled.
Take note that fastboot ( the fastboot daemon ) is integral part of phone's bootloader.

How do I re-flash stock rom when the bootlloader is not unlocked.
I have already tried Xiaomi's flash tool and it when flashing the stock ROM and get the following error
"Error: erasing boot Failed remote erase is not allowed in locked state"
Are there any methods of flashing a stock rom with a locked bootloader ?

I have already tried that method When I flash using the flash tool I get the error "Error: erasing boot Failed remote erase is not allowed in locked state" My bootloader is not unlocked is this method supposed to be work with a locked bootloader. Bit of chicken and egg situation. I cant unlock the bootloader as I cant boot the device and I cant reflash software as I don't have an unlocked bootloader.
AFAIK you always are allowed to flash an original firmware image without unlocking the phone's bootloader.
If you can access the device by means of ADB try to flash the Stock ROM via ADB:
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot sideload
adb sideload <LOCATION_OF_STOCK_ROM_ZIP_FILE_HERE>
C:\adb>adb devices
List of devices attached
f625af1 sideload
C:\adb>adb sideload miui_ANDROMEDAEEAGlobal_V12.0.1.0.PEMEUXM_9e4961bf09_9.0.zip
loading: 'miui_ANDROMEDAEEAGlobal_V12.0.1.0.PEMEUXM_9e4961bf09_9.0.zip'
* cannot read 'miui_ANDROMEDAEEAGlobal_V12.0.1.0.PEMEUXM_9e4961bf09_9.0.zip' *
@sivhead
Try this:
Rename the file to rom.zip and then start "adb sideload rom.zip"

I also thought its worth mentioning that I have never registered the device with mi connect
Also enable usb debugging is not enabled.
aqnd THe bootloader is locked .
Man I wish I would have unlocked the bootloader when I got it and put a custom rom on. then I wouldnt be in this situation. how ironic that I wanted to keep it stock
so I am at a loose end
Hi! I would like to mod my AC2003 upgraded to oxygenos 12.1 (android 12) version AC2003_11_F.13
Could you please tell me the steps to proceed? I can't find a guide that answers all my questions ... Do I need to unlock the bootloader first? Then the recovery and the rom? I would be oriented towards the pixel experience, can it be a good choice? Does it support 2 sims? How to do with the root for the bank's applications? Many questions, and nowhere to start ... Thanks in advance
Copy all important phone data, it will be wiped!
- Download adb platform tools here
- Download adb drivers here
- Enable developer settings -> Enable OEM unlock.
- Reboot into Fastbot mode: Turn off the phone, hold down vol+ and vol-, then power on the phone.
- Connect the phone to the computer, run "fastboot devices". If not recognized, ensure driver is installed in the device manager, install from downloaded adb drivers.
- Run "fastboot oem unlock", accept in the phone prompt, the phone will be wiped!
- Boot again in fastboot, flash the recovery: "fastboot flash recovery recovery_file".
- Unplug the USB, I found the recovery to not work properly if the usb was already plugged in before booting.
- Boot into recovery mode: Hold Vol+ and turn on the phone.
- Go to Update... Install from ADB, connect the USB.
- In the computer, run "adb sideload rom_file"
- I'd recommend issuing a factory reset after this, just in case.
- NEVER run "fastboot oem lock" with modded system, it'll brick your phone! (Can be fixed, but just don't do it)
- Enjoy
Ex. for Pixel rom:
- Recovery file: PixelExperience_avicii-12.1-20220718-0624-OFFICIAL.img
- ROM file: PixelExperience_avicii-12.1-20220718-0624-OFFICIAL.zip
I wasn't happy with custom roms. Too many bugs. So I also post how to return to factory:
- Download fastboot ROM from here, unzip file.
- Boot the phone into fastboot mode, connect the USB, run "flash-all.bat", it'll take a while, it'll reboot afterwards
- You're now with stock system. You can upgrade to OOS11/12 using the zips from here, also check F.13, copying them to the phone, going to the updater and selecting "Local update".
- Better do OOS10->OOS11->OOS12, just in case! I'd stay with OOS 11.1.11.11, OOS12 is a battery drainer!
- Ensure to make a factory reset when done with updating.
- Now you're stock, you can also relock the bootloader by booting into fastboot and running "fastboot oem lock".
Be aware that you will miss some camera features with any custom rom... Full camera features are only available with the stock rom..
Thats why I moved back to stock rom and debloated all unuseable stuff...
But a custom rom offers many other opportunities that the stock rom doesn't have...

Wow! You wrote the bible for the beginner ... I don't know how to thank you for your patience, now I have a great starting point
I've a problem, fastboot can't see my device... I've installed the oneplus drivers, but windows continues to use Microsoft's drivers. I tried to update the drivers from the device manager indicating as drivers those installed in the Oneplus folder, but windows keeps telling me not to find drivers compatible with an x64 system in that folder. I also tried to disable the digital signature check, without success. This is on both windows 11 and windows 10 PCs. I've also enabled debug usb...
There's no problem using Windows drivers.
Isn't the phone recognized as fastboot device?
Attach device manager screenshot.

After flash recovery, when i go to the recovery mode, i see this mex:
"The current image (boot/recovery) have been destroted and can not boot. Please flash the correct image or contact customer service to fix"
Fortunately i have solved with msm....
It's a known thing that you can flash on any custom ROM only if you're on oxygenOS 10 or 11 version. Respectively, if you are on android 12, then you first need to flash with unbrick tool (msmtool) anroid 10 (EU/Global/India) or android 11 (India).

Hi,
I am on OS12 stock currently.
At which stage of the guide posted above I need to use the unbrick tool ?
Many thanks
Hi bro.
If you want to flash any custom ROM, then you need to go to unbrick tools thread, download drivers and MSM tool firmware and step by step flash it.
After that flash custom rom you need also with it instruction in the thread.
