Need Help, Issues with unlocking a half relocked phone - Asus ROG Phone Questions & Answers

So the story begins when I tried to relock my phone after having issues with my bank app so I tried to lock my rog phone, after trying multiple commands such as fastboot oem lock and others only one worked which was "fastboot oem asus-csc_lk". The command succeeded but it then shows boot_b unbootable and boot_a unbootable. I could no longer run any of the flash commands and can't get back into android. I am still able to run the boot command like "fastboot boot something.img". The flash commands gets phone locked error.

Maybe boot to recovery and do a clean flash?

I am unable to boot to recovery or flash

Didn't you say you can boot to an image target?

I can run a command that is "fastboot boot recovery.img" but it won't actually boot into said image or just stuck there for days.

We’re you full stock when you locked?

PM me if you really can't figure it out. I'll try to help you when I'm free (probably tomorrow).

I'm not sure if it's running full stock, but after my attempt at running a custom OS I went and reflashed the stock OS from the official asus support website.

It should be 100 percent stock before locking. Can you unlock your BL again?

Unfortunately no, none of my fastboot commands worked (even the oem ones) and I am unable to unlock via apk due to being unable to access my android os.

I saw someone have a similar problem and they said using this tool (free version) and using it to boot into Fastboot help. I doubt it can hurt.

I can not vouch for the software though.

I gave the free version a try unfortunately it won't detect the device unless I go to fastboot mode. The free version seems to only have Samsung and requires it to be unlocked.
I also managed to run twrp temporarily on slot_A which probably means that it wasn't fully stock. TWRP isn't able to do much though with the lock state it's currently in.
Is there any other way to bypass the lock state?

My problem is solved, I don't know exactly what happened, but I left my phone in it's endless reboot between slot_a and slot_b until it ran out of battery. After I charged it back from 0% the problem seems to have been fixed, it started the encrypting process and new phone setup.

How long should fastboot oem unlock take?
I'm following these instructions to unlock phone (then get CM7 running on it).
I ran fastboot oem unlock command with ID (have JDK and SDK installed and added the tools).
Been sitting in command promt for about 10 minutes now... How long should this take? What can/should I do now?
Got tired of waiting after over hour, pulled battery, booted up.
I get Unlocked message at top of screen when it starts booting but then it gets into infinite boot showing Motorola screen then black screen over and over... any thoughts?
I believe now you have to flash recovery through fastboot, and then use the recovery to flash a ROM.

And hope waiting that hour didn't drain the battery because it doesn't charge in fastboot.
Recovery would not start at all either, so I could not flash new ROM.
I ended up being able to do fastboot and delete user data, this made phone bootable again.
Then installed CWM and flashed ROM.
All is good now, was a little scare though
Thanks,

[Q] forgot to turn fastboot off on HTC One

I'm not very good at this, I've been an iPhone user for the longest time. I did not turn fastboot off before I flashed twrp 2.6.3.0. I'm stuck on the booting screen, I can bring up the boot loader screen but the phone will not actually boot up all the way. Any help is appreciated...is there a way I can save this?

[Q] HELP can not install TWRP through Fastboot! What am I doing wrong?

OK, so I was rolling along just fine...
Got Fastboot up and running, got myself an unlocked bootloader, got myself the latest TWRP image, and no matter WHAT I DO, I can not get TWRP to flash to my device, and it is driving me absolutely INSANE. Below is what i am getting from command prompt. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Code:
C:\Users\saltam\Downloads\TWRP>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (13186 KB)...
FAILED (command write failed (Invalid argument))
finished. total time: 0.000s
I am pulling what little hair I have out over here, and I am no beginner when it comes to this stuff. Please help if you can.
Only a couple of things I can think, which I'm sure you've already done. Have you re-downloaded the image file and you have renamed it recovery.img?
Edit, is your bootloader unlocked?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Boot loader is unlocked, tried everything besides a different computer. Tried different cord, different USB port, everything. It's like once I unlocked the boot loader the tablet stopped communicating with fast boot. Anything I try to do hangs until I hit reboot fast boot then it fails. Irritating the hell out of me...

Close any other running programs, especially Chrome. Then if still not doing it, install CWM Recovery instead, and if you still want TWRP flash it from CWM Recovery.
My N5 won't let me have TWRP, so if you just want the functions of a recovery, try a different one.

I'm at my end right now, because I want to remove all this dumb Google bloatware so badly. Was thinking about trying to flash stock image, or relock and unlock boot loader again to see if that does anything, but I'm very nervous that those options might not work because of the fact that fast boot commands aren't working. Certainly don't want to end up with a $400 paperweight...

I assume you're on 5.0.1. Flash the boot or recovery image from the factory image in fastboot. See if that works. That might rule out a fastboot issue. If it flashed it won't do anything negative to your device

Going to give this a shot now..
Worth mentioning, I ran an OEM Lock command, and successfully relocked the bootloader, so it appears fastboot is at least partially working. Going to attempt to flash the bootloader in the image from Google, because that is all there is. Just bootloader and image, no recovery image. I will post results here. I don't know why fastboot commands are broken after unlocking bootloader, but there is one thing that seems odd to me:
When I run fastboot devices, it returns the following (has been like this from the beginning):
Code:
C:\Users\saltam\Downloads\TWRP>fastboot devices

Yes, recently updated it via the minimalist fastboot/adb tool. This is REALLY irritating the hell out of me at this point... Been trying to get recovery on this stupid tablet all damn day...
I am starting to think this is a read/write error.. It is getting the error whenever it tries to write to the tablet... (sending boot.img results in the error every time)... Anyone know of fastboot/adb commands to check/fix read and write errors
**EDIT**
So, much to my chagrin, it appears to just be my computer... Tried on a different laptop, and was able to get it rooted.. For some odd reason though, I don't think TWRP is installing correctly ??
I am going to try and boot into recovery, but every time i try to flash it with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img it says it was successful, but a boot into recovery mode comes up as the dreaded NO COMMAND laying down Android icon. Super frustrating..
**EDIT 2**
So after much trying of different methods, I was able to successfully flash TWRP with Flashify. Not sure why I couldn't do it manually through fastboot but I'm good now. Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. This can be marked as closed or solved. Thanks!

To your first edit, twrp is probably working correctly. Lollipop forces the stock recovery. There are two files, one in /system and one in /system/bin that force the stock recovery upon boot. You can remove those files or first
fastboot boot twrp.img
Then flash supersu in twrp, then
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

xt2014-4 touchscreen isnt working please help!

**XT2041-4**
hey folks,
i have the gpower/g8power (XT2041-4) and i was able to unlock the bootloader and i have been able to do the fastboot commands but it fails when i do the fastboot system, product, vbmeta commands for the crdroid, lineage and havok. i got into twrp and tried installing the zips for those roms but those failed too.
i got to the android OS start screen but the touchscreen is unresponsive. i have looked through a lot of the threads for this device and can't find anything that works.
any help will be much appreciated because this is my daily driver.
edit: title should be XT2041-4
your best option would be to connect an otg cable, ( best is to make sure you can have a double connection, one for mouse , on connected to the pc) then get into the phone with the non-touchscreen booted rom, connect it to LMSA , and extract the boot.img image that comes with the rom LMSA downloads. you should have a working touchscreen with the version LMSA downloads .
Reason you need a double connection: you need to accept the connection to your pc from the phone
you could also browse to the settings --> about this phone and take a look at the exact ROM that is installed, and find that image on lollinet , then extract and boot the boot.img from that rom.
Hey, I'm having the same problem but I found a workaround.
you can either go in fastboot mode and enter
fastboot set_active b
or go in TWRP and change the active slot to B then proceed to boot up the phone.
In my case, it showed warning saying "cannot boot into system......file maybe corrupted" etc etc, just choose "factory reset" on that screen and your phone should boot into slot B with stock ROM.
That way you can have a functional phone while waiting for the developers to figure out the kernel problem
Cheers
hey thanks guys for taking the time to respond much appreciated.
somehow, no idea, i magically got the phone back to stock and the touchscreen is working. the bootloader is still unlocked so i am not messing with it. that scared the crap out of me lol

I had a completely different issue with the exact same model. I made a post here asking if anyone had an easy fix, but my guess is that these are just growing pains. Give it a couple months and the roms will likely be much more stable. One of the reasons I bought this phone in the first place is because it usually gets official Lineage OS support at some point. With time, I'm sure things will work great. If you use Windows, going back to stock everything is pretty dead simple with the Lenovo Rescue and Recovery tool, so you can kind of experiment safely if you back everything up.

After some tinkering, I actually figured out my problem. There's a big difference between "fastboot mode" (the one you enter by pressing power and vol-) and "Fastbootd" mode.
I did all my flashing in "fastboot mode" and I got no touch screen afterward.
Then there's another hiccup for me (which is why I didn't go in "fastbootd" mode in the first place): When I type in the command in regular "fastboot mode"
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
I got an error message saying "reboot fastboot" is not a valid destination or something down those lines.
The problem being, they only added that option in fastboot version r30, so I had to update my ADB and fastboot environment.
And I ran into yet another problem, no matter what I do, the fastboot command is still run with the older version. I guess I messed up the previous installation and the pathing got messy. I ended up using my work laptop for a clean installation of all drivers and it finally solved my problem. I guess I'm saying you need to clean up previous adb and fastboot drivers before using the new ones, especailly if you installed it systemwise.
Anyways, after I booted into "fastbootd" mode and flashed everything with the latest version of fastboot driver, the phone worked flawlessly.
Hope it helps!

i have managed to get root on stock but still cant get cutsom roms installed at all. they always fail with these 2 methods

b)using command line
writing 'system'...

i type fastboot devices and it finds my phone. it lists it there but i type fastboot reboot fastboot and it just spams a huge list of commands and nothing changes on the phone. ive seen videos and fastbootd looks just like the old school recovery from droid1 days but idk if thats the same skin look on all devices. i was able to switch the slot from a to b in twrp but that didnt help. i cant figure out how to get into fastboot'D' mode.
im really trying here and im sorry im dumb. as always, any suggestions would be much appreciated. thanks again!

ok yes indeed im a huge idiot. i finally got into fastbootd because i downloaded ADB version R30. THATS the most recent adb version and that did the trick! now i got the fastbootd recovery screen!
regardless, thank you all SOOOOO much for taking the time to respond. much appreciated.
im so excited to get flashing!

Question Relock Bootloader

Hi,
has anybody tried to relock the bootloader?!
i was a little over hasty and unlocked a device. I thought (yeah, i didnt checked it ...) if asus is offering a unlocker, it should be no big deal to lock it again.
But everything i found is for the ZF8, and all i found does not work on the ZF9.
It starts that there is no adb/sideload option in recovery nor have i found a custom recovery.
And every relock command in fastboot is not known by the fastboot environement of the ZF9...
So has anybody found a way?
thx in advance.
Matt
Has anyone found a method to close the bootloader again? I'm thinking of opening it but I'm worried that I won't find a method to close it if necessary.

If you haven't tried it, you can try it with:

-fastboot oem asus-csc_lk
-fastboot flashing lock
-fastboot flashing lock_critical
-fastboot oem lock
-fastboot oem lock_critical
-fastboot flash !frp-partition! default_key.bin
-fastboot oem asus-lock
No. Didnt work. 'Command not supported in default implemantation' All of these commands.
I did not try the *critical commands and the "frp partition". I had not time to read me in on that. And i dont want to brick the phone complete.
For what it's worth, fastboot oem asus-csc_lk worked for me. It also wiped the phone itself, I didn't have to do it manually.

Same, though I expected that since I rooted.
For any one wondering how to update, just take the firmware file from ASUS's site, place it in your phone's internal storage, then either wait a few seconds for the update notification to pop up or restart your phone (you should see it then). Follow the prompts from there.

1. You can only re-lock the bootloader by going back to the stock firmware/recovery, losing twrp and magisk.
2. Re-locking the bootloader does not re-enable the OTA updates, but might help with Google Pay/SafetyNet attestation if that's broken for some reason.
3. This command works. Just flash the stock firmware and recovery, then do adb reboot bootloader and fastboot oem asus-csc_lk.

ok, just one last question. If I have the latest version (2060.113) with TWRP, to leave everything stock what I have to flash is the zip downloaded from ASUS (also 2060.113: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/AI2202/ASUS_AI2202-33.0804.2060.113-kernel-src.tar.gz?model=Zenfone%209 ). I have seen that there are other ROMs called RAW, but I don't know exactly which one to install. I'm afraid that when installing the zip from that link something "non-stock" will remain installed and when closing the bootloader the smartphone won't boot.

If I have the latest version (2060.113) with TWRP, to leave everything stock what I have to flash is the zip downloaded from ASUS (also 2060.113: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/AI2202/ASUS_AI2202-33.0804.2060.113-kernel-src.tar.gz?model=Zenfone%209 ). I have seen that there are other ROMs called RAW, but I don't know exactly which one to install. I'm afraid that when installing the zip from that link something "non-stock" will remain installed and when closing the bootloader the smartphone won't boot.

I can't say much about this. I don't think it's going to be a problem, but of course you're doing it at your own risk.
