Question "Alternative" menu - Nokia X10 / X20

Good afternoon,
I have a question:
If I press the "VOL -" and "POWER" button, a menu appears with three options:
1.- Power OFF.
2.- START.
3.- Restart Bootloader
1 and 2 are clear, but ...
What is the use of 3?
What does?
Is it dangerous to use it?
All the best

the 3rd option's meaning is... well, in the name: restart your phone into the bootloader mode again. That menu is the bootloader, so selecting 3 will restart your phone back into it again

Wait, if you can start phone in bootloader mode, then we can play with fastboot and its backup methods?

Well, maybe? Or actually not, cause the phone's bootloader is locked, and there's no way to unlock it at all (Nokia patched everything in order to prevent people from unlocking its phones' bootloaders)

Mine is stuck on this menu

I'm pretty sure that you're going to be stuck in that menu, forever and ever, until when someone manages to unlock the bootloader. Just... give up any hopes of unlocking those Nokia phones, and use them normally for now.

Thanks

That sounds like you haven't unlocked it yet. You only get the 2 icons unto you are unlocked.

If there's something that you are modifying, this could introduce bugs.. if you are stock unrooted, and if you can get download mode booted, just plug it into your pc and flash stock again.. moto I'm not as familiar with versus samsung, but I'm sure you can flash stock

Sorry but I don't understand what you mean by "it comes out from my pocket". Could you please explain in another way?
Also can you enter download/fastboot mode? Press and hold the power button and volume up(or down, I don't know what is your device) to enter it.
I see clear crack on LCD...i feel vibrate but I can't see anything

Well, sorry if I am wrong, but if you have a clear crack, and you don't see anything when you turn it on(but it vibrates), probably the problem is the LCD.
You can try following the steps that I wrote to enter fastboot. If you can enter it and make the last step show the serial number, but still don't see anything on the screen, then there is a high chance that the problem is the LCD.
Firstly, install the ADB and Fastboot drivers (if you already have them, skip this). The easiest method I know to install them is by using this installer
Make sure the device is powered off(holding power button by around 15 seconds should force a shut down if it is on)
Hold power button and volume down key to enter fastboot (or try?) until it vibrates
Now, connect the device to your PC with an USB cable
On the folder where you have the drivers, open a command window. (Shift + Right Click, then "Open command window here")
Type
Code:
fastboot devices
If a serial number is printed, then, the problem is the screen and not the device itself
I have attached a screenshot with an example(my device output).
If this doesn't work, then I'm sorry but I don't know much more to do.
I say again: I'm not any professional, all of this is my knowledge... I can be wrong

Question about rooting

First of all, I'm new to this forums AND I'm new to rooting, so please take it easy with me.
Anyways, so I want to root my Galaxy S9 plus Exynos version, and I heard you should enable OEM unlock in developer options before you do anything, so I did switch it on, it asked me to do a factory reset, so I backed up everything and let it do its thing. Now when I go to developer options the OEM unlock is ofcourse not there, but when I go to download mode it says that OEM lock and FRP lock are off. So does that mean I successfully unlocked the bootloader and now I can flash TWRP?
I believe you have to leave the phone on for 7 days for it to show up.
You can try this too - https://www.xda-developers.com/fix-...y-s9-samsung-galaxy-s8-samsung-galaxy-note-8/

Well since you new you should have done your research on this process.
If you had you would have known NOT to let it reboot to system once turning OEM unlock on....factory reset is normal as you now know.
What you should have done is flip the swtich and then boot directly to download mode and flash twrp to avoid the reset.
Yes now you must wait 7 days again to do anything.
Reading and research is key here dude, never just blindly do anything...bad things can happen. In this case no biggie though just more waiting

Sorry, but with things like this I like to be exact and have no level of presumption or uncertainty.
In saying that, when you say "flip the switch and boot to DL mode" do you mean to flip the switch, and DON'T press agree, or DON'T accept the pop up warning from samsung to restore, but to just ignore and reboot to DL mode?
So literally do what you said and do 2 actions,
1. flip switch
2. restart in DL mode (and exclude pressing any of the pop up notifications from samsung to restore).
Will this work, or do you need to accept samsungs pop up notification to reboot in order to enable OEM unlock ?

Yes you have to acknowledge the prompt then boot to DL immediately.

[GUIDE] Re-Lock Bootloader Galaxy s10|s10+|s10e

I was thinking of a way to block the bootloader, and I came up with something very basic, so please who can try the method, share whether it works or not. (This method was checked and it WORKS !!)
Warning: I am not a super developer, just one more user who wants to help the community
Warning 2: This Process will erase everything in its path, remember to make a backup of your internal memory.
This series of steps is aimed at inexperienced users, if you think you are missing or there are many steps, this guide is not for you.
Without more to say, let's start.
How to re-lock bootloader:
1. Turn off your device.
2. Press Bixby Volume down and connect your device to a PC to start the download mode (now you can release both buttons)
3. Read the text below on the Download Mode screen
to block or unblock the Bootloader.
4.- Long press the vol (- or +) button as best suits you.
LOCK BOOTLOADER:
5. Long press the volume up button ( ) until the computer is restarted (this will erase your data and restart automatically). :fingers-crossed:
Ready! Now you have a device with an OEM lock.
Good luck my friends!!!

Thank you for posting this. I've had this method work once before but i am in a bit of a pickle at the moment.
I no longer get the options to 'long press vol up' which i think is the key to re locking the bootloader. Have you or anyone else got any idea why that would be?

It has definitely worked before but not having much luck now. Maybe the latest software update has blocked this method?

Can you tell what exactly you already did with your phone? Did you unlock bootloader, re lock bootloader, then unlocked it again and then actually rooted it? And now after you unrooted your phone you can not re lock bootloader?
I am asking because I suspect that you can not re lock you bootloader again after you actually have rooted your phone once. I am suspecting I only read a post from a guy who managed to re lock is bootloader but he never actually rooted his phone once. So in other words after you tripped knox (which seems to only happen when you install magisk) you may not be able to re lock you bootloader (ever) again.

Yes!! You hit the nail on the head!! So i was able to re lock bootloader once before but i wasnt successful in rooting the phone. After i then successfully rooted the phone with Magisk i restored back to normal and no i cannot re lock the bootloader.
It seems as though a few people have said you can't re lock it after successfully rooting! Quite frustrating!!

I see. There is another method, that seems to work, tested by @robbo1947 that he explained here.
robbo1947 said:
Assuming you had the standard Samsung ROM (you hadn't flashed a custom ROM)
Change OEM switch while rooted, exit settings, no need to flash stock firmware.
Power off phone.
Press and hold Bixby and Volume down, whilst holding connect with USB cable to computer. Release buttons when Download screen appears.
Long press the Volume up.
At this stage, the phone will wipe the data and overwrite the Magisk modification then reboot.
You should now have an S10, standard boot screens, stock ROM and no root.

I look forward to your findings. As i am running my phone as my daily driver now i am hesitant to re root it if this method wont work. I have my fingers crossed though
samsung doesn't allow you to unlock and then lock back the device multiple times. It only works once, then your bootloader stay unlocked for ever.
I I had root and twrp on my s10 + but I quietly put the last nobrand ASE7 firmware back and I re-locked the bootloader without any difficulty I no longer have any warning messages at startup and in the developer options I have the oem option working like new.

OK, sorry for delay in getting back to this question of locking and unlocking the bootloader on the Galaxy S10.
During the last few days I have locked, unlocked, locked and unlocked again, probably 15 or 20 times to test various scenarios.
Please remember, each time you lock or unlock the bootloader all of your data is wiped.. any Root will also be gone. You will also be needing your current firmware.
This is for the Galaxy S10 without TWRP.
Scenario 1. Your phone is rooted with Magisk.
Go into Developers options and check OEM options, the switch must be ON (to the right). If it isn't turn it ON.
Turn off your phone. Press and hold the Bixby and Volume-down button, then connect with USB to your computer. (The cable shouldn't be connected until after you press the buttons).
Within seconds of USB connection the Download screen will appear. You will see 3 optiions, choose and Long press volume up and hold button until you see the 2 options at bottom of screen. Choose and hold volume up until screen goes off. Then the S10 logo screen will briefly apppear, before it flicks back to the Download screen with the words 'VBMETA: Error verifying vbmeta image etc' at the top, as the image below.
This is all good so far. Leave the phone exactly as it is with this screen showing and make sure the phone is still connected to the computer.
On your computer, fire up Odin3_v3.13.1, you can leave the Reboot option in Odin ticked. Locate your firmware on your computer and put the 4 file parts (BL, AP. CP and CSC) into Odin.
Let Odin finish.
The phone will reboot ready for setup.
The Unlocked bootloader warning screen will be gone.
Scenario 2. Your phone has been rooted but isn't now, and the greyed out OEM switch is ON
Easy, turn off your phone and proceed from the 2nd paragraph of Scenario 1.
Scenario 3 Your phone has been rooted but isn't now, and the greyed out OEM switch is OFF
Sorry, but in this situation, you are going to have to root your phone with Magisk as the OEM switch will only be available when rooted.
When rooted, proceed as Scenario 1.
Scenario 4 Your phone has never been rooted, and the greyed out OEM switch is ON i.e. you unlocked the bootloader but never proceeded to root the phone
Turn off your phone and proceed from the 2nd paragraph of Scenario 1.
If you want proof that I have locked and unlocked time and time again see HERE

No dramas, thanks heaps for your reply.
So it seems I am in scenario 3 meaning I'll need to re root my phone which is fine. However, when I hold down the bixby and volume up and plug in I don't get the option to long hold volume up which I previously did. I only have press volume up or down. Is this because my bootloader is already unlocked? I should still be able to re root my phone in this scenario shouldnt i?

Yep, your bootloader is unlocked.
When you have re-rooted and you go into Developer options you will be able to control the OEM switch and ensure it is ON.
Then when you get into Download mode you will see that option of LONG press Volume-up.
I've just added video proof to original post.

You sir, are my hero. It all worked perfectly and i no longer get the bootloader warning screen and my bootloader is now relocked!!
For anyone else having this problem, i too can confirm that this method works. The only issue i had was that for some reason, i was stuck on the Samsung flashing boot screen for nearly half an hour. A simple reboot into recovery(hold power and volume down for 7 seconds to shut down and then quickly hold power, vol up and bixby) and wipe factory data then system reboot fixed it.
I can also confirm that after doing this and re locking the bootloader, i now have access to all apps that i was previously having issues with and my google play store recognises my devices as certified.
I now have a fully working and functional device. Thank you again.
if i revert to stock rom after root and samsung status says official and relock bootloader will be able to get otas again???

Question Oem unlock not appearing

Somewhere around mid 2020 i decided it would be fun in trying to unlock my phone. I actually almost succeed, the only problem was that i didny have wifi or cellular available, so i reflashed the stock os, locked the bootloader and called it a day. Now i want to try this again, but the oem unlock option is nowhere to be found. I've tried everything, "fastboot oem unlock", "fastboot flashing unlock", changing the date, etc. I clearly remember the "your phone is not running certified software" when i almost got majisk to work, but now I cant even find the oem unlock. I just want to use google pay man...

Perform a factory reset after removing your SIM. Skip through setup and do not connect to WiFi. Set the time manually, wait a few minutes, then change the date to at least 7 days from now, and wait a few more minutes. The toggle should appear.
However...Since you've unlocked before, maybe you could just see if you're able to unlock the bootloader?

Havent thought about resetting without the sim, good idea!
About the bootloader, if you mean unlocking it in download mode (holding volume up + volume down while plugging in a usb cable) I dont get such option. I can only enter download mode or restart the phone.
I will respond hopefully tomorrow with an update.

In download mode there is no (hold volume up) option, just volume up to continue, volume down to cancel and side key to show barcode. Something that I have noticed different from other download modes is that mine is also translated in (i presume) korean and japanese.
Heres some more information that may be relevant:
In download mode pressing the volume up key to continue shows these in the top left screen:
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
OEM LOCK: ON (U1 )

Okay, let's try this again.
When you start download mode and see the options for Volume Up and Volume Down, just hold the Volume Up button. There isn't a prompt because it's "hidden" - unlocking the bootloader is supposed to be deliberate, not something that can be done accidentally.
Continue holding Volume Up until the bootloader unlock prompt appears.

Holding the volume up button no matter for how long will still result into nothing, sadly.

Okay, let's try this again.
When you start download mode and see the options for Volume Up and Volume Down, just hold the Volume Up button. There isn't a prompt because it's "hidden" - unlocking the bootloader is supposed to be deliberate, not something that can be done accidentally.
Continue holding Volume Up until the bootloader unlock prompt appears.
This means your bootloader is locked.

Absolutely not. I do not provide private support, and under no circumstances is any member of XDA obligated to provide their private contact information. If you have a question, ask it here. We also do not allow using XDA to divert users to other platforms, per the XDA Telegram Policy.
If you need to contact a member of the XDA staff, you can either PM a moderator such as myself, or you can use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page. You can also use the Report button to contact the XDA staff concerning a particular post if there's a problem.

You are able to boot into Download Mode?
Just to be clear, here's the steps:
Disconnect device from USB cable (leave cable plugged into PC) and turn device completely off
Wait about 30 seconds
WITHOUT PRESSING POWER, hold both Volume buttons, and while holding plug in the USB cable from PC
Device should start with a custom OS warning and a prompt. Release all buttons. One of the options should be "Volume up long press: Device unlock mode". If you do not see this option, hit Volume Down to cancel.
If you can, provide photos of the screen.
