[SOLVED]Unlockbootloader{fixered} - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an issue with my oneplusone, I cannot unlock it any more. I tried various ways via fastboot, even tried to fastboot a temporary recovery. It keeps saying locked and rebooting into simple recovery. Before it enters simple recovery, or now cyanogemod recovery non latest cm11 nightlies it shows a red exclamation mark.
cm11 updates are flashable via the cyanogenmod recovery. Other zips are not as they are not properly signed. There seems to be no way I can put the unlock byte to true.
fastboot flashing the factory image also doesnt work, it keps saying locked. So I cannot flash the unlock/tamper zip anymore.
This started when on latest nightlies, when simple recovery went to cyanogenmod recovery. The update cyanogenmod recovery switch in development apperently doesnt always stick. I think something went wrong there.
rolling back to m8 with simple recovery did not work either
anyone have any ideas?

did you have it unchecked in settings to not update recovery. Also are you saying that putting your phone into recovery and flashing tamper zip does not work

I had it unchecked in settings to not update recovery when I was trying all this.
the cyanogenmod recovery does not flash unsignes stuff. this is the same recovery as people call simple recovery. In latest nightlies its included. I had checked the update recovery when flashing nightlies of cm11.

ok sorry I rooted and flashed TWRP right out the box and dont play around with that other stuff. I am assuming also that you have tried to fastboot TWRP to flash the zip and it just loops back? there was another user with similar issues I will see what happened with him. But unfortunately I have not seen or heard of any fix other than booting into temporary recovery and flashing zip. You are saying you can not flash anything.

fastbooting twrp or any other recovery just puts me into cyanogenmod recovery, sadly.

If cyanogenmod can only flash signed zips have you tried to sign the tamper zip. I am not familiar with CM recovery on nightlies so I apologize for that

I have a victory.
Now I tried twrp from playstore. didnt work.
Tried flashify from playstore, with the original recovery I was on before things went amuck. It said flash succesful like twrp, didnt trust it. However I tried flashing the zip from the temper/unlock thread. Lo and behold upon reboot a custom recovery screen was shown, flashing a zipfile. Victory!
So even when fastboot was locked status, fastboot didnt succesfully flash anything, booting on temp recovery also failed, flashify fixed it. Lucky me. Guess you can add that to the list

this can be locked

Assistance with Flashing roms please.

My boot loader and phone is rooted.
AT&T Htc one X
I have tried to flash a couple roms + the boot.img but the device pauses at HTC splash screen (I DID clear caches)
but its constant and I have to go into Fastboot-Usb and reinstall the RUU in order to try again.

did you flash a recovery yet and if so which one ? if you want help you need to give us some details ?
What rom did you try to flash ? How did you go about it ?
Thank the android gods it wasn't an international ROM.
Did you flash superuser or supersu. We will need a little more information in the steps you've taken. Can you make a list of the steps for us?

ok. i'm not gonna beg if you want help I need DETAILS not vague s***t like "TWRP or whatever".. So evidently you can boot into recovery with no problem. What rom are you trying to flash ? You need to extract the boot.img from the rom.zip and flash that in fastboot and then flash the rom.zip in recovery.
If you're not booting it's most likely because your phone is not finding a kernel (boot.img)
So more details or more reading
Good luck to you

Its not a good idea to ask for help and then flame. Honestly what was hard about posting this the first time? I thought maybe English wasn't your language or something. How could you flash a recovery before unlocking???
If you wiped everything, you should reflash bootimage in adb. Then flash your ROM. Please be nice.

Cant access recovery. Have nandroid but cant flash it.

Ive been trying to fix this for two days. This post is a last resort. Ive searched the forum and tried what little I found.
Ive trashed phones and had to fix them but never seen this.
I finally got root on this thing and was flashing CM10 but kept seeing "failed" using TWRP so decided id flash
CWM and give it a try. Once,still TWRP Twice,still TWRP. Third, Black recovery screen then skip to normal boot.
Fourth try it read "error: cannot load 'openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-evita'" and has since with both recoveries.
No access with volume/power method. No access from command prompt. No access through Quick Boot , Rom Toolbox,
etc.
If I posted this wrong Im sorry. I can usually fix these things myself but Im waving the white flag on this one.
I tried adb help but everything I tried said failed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I cant install through fastboot. I get the "error cant load" message i talked about in the first post. It wont let me near recovery
if u can get in to fastboot but not in to twrp youll probly have to relock your bootloader and ruu back to stock
Reflash twrp 2.3.3.1 for evita in fastboot, also run fastboot erase cache. If your nandroid was made with cwm it wont work with twrp.

[Q] Bricked?

I've been in the samsung family for so long that I didn't realize how different flashing can be. I broke my phone so I bought a Moto G. Rooted it right away with only a little trouble. I installed a Lollipop ROM afterward and couldn't get my phone to boot. Guess who forgot to do a backup of the stock ROM? Yay me... but anyway, I found a stock file and went through all the steps in the screenshot. Each time, I got the okay to move on and I assumed I had the stock file flashed. Upon rebooting, I stay at the "warning, bootloader is unlocked" and phone doesn't go any further. I'm not booting up at all and custom recovery is gone now.
Can anyone help? I'm at my wit's end.
Thanks in advance.

Follow this step by step. I did it twice. If your phone boots, it is more than likely recoverable. Once you get everything sorted out and are ready to flash a custom ROM, I recommend Carbon ROM (personal preference).
The lollipop ones are still shaky. I would try em out but they truly aren't daily drivers yet

Another thought. You have your bootloader unlocked. You can flash the TWRP image through fastboot. Then you can flash the "flashable zip" stock firmware

That's actually the instructions I used to try to flash back to stock. But when it reboots, it never gets past the warning about bootloader. I can get the TWRP recovery back but from there is there another way to flash the "flashable zip"? With Samsung I could always use ODIN but I don't think it works with Moto G. I can't get the zip to internal storage to flash it.
Thanks for the reply by the way I'm going to try it one more time I think....

Flashable stock zips. I don't have a PC to do a full reset. But with TWRP and the flashable stock zip I have had absolutely no problem.
If all else fails I would give it a shot
I have the xt 1032 cricket/aio. I am using stock "us retail" and it works just fine. If you have radio issues etc there is also a repository of flashable radio images

Get back TWRP custom recovery by booting your phone into bootloader and flash via fastboot. You can get the .IMG file for the falcon from their website latest version is 2.8.5.0
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/233
Then simply install the corresponding stock flashable zip

Quick question. When I go into recovery to flash the zip, do I go to 'advanced' and then ' terminal command'? and go from there? I feel like a noob and I've flashed dozens of roms...
To flash a zip, choose the install option, find the name of the zip, select it, swipe to install it.

The problem is that I didn't make a backup. When I tried flashing back to stock using fastboot everything was wiped. I don't even have the original custom ROM that started the whole mess. The stock file flashed but phone won't boot. I never get passed the boot loader warning screen. I did everything to the tee (following the directions that BBobby posted above. Actually did it twice. Isn't there an ODIN type deal for this phone. Brand new and I've broke it dangit.
Oh and I can't get into the phone to enable us debugging.
There is rsd lite but it may not help. Odin doesn't help if you can't enter download mode too. Usb debugging isn't require to flash a rom or install recovery.
It sounds like your phone is not booting because of the bootloade or the data partition is messed up.
I can get into bootloader and I have TWRP installed and can boot into it. I'm starting to think it's a lost cause. Thanks though y'all.

I also got similar problem as yours. I have xt1033 dual sim phone and i had flashed lollipop 5.0.2 soak version. When official update was released for xt1033 i got back to kitkat 4.4.4 to download ota. But when i flashed kitkat through fastboot it got stuck on unlocked bootloader screen. Only solution i got still is converting to gpe. Only Gpe firmware boots. Im still finding solution for bootloop

I originally flashed a custom ROM but it never would get past the loading screen. I went through all the steps to flash back to stock and now all my data is gone. The ROM I had in my download folder is gone as is all my other info. So I get into TWRP but there's nothing in my phone I can flash.

I've flashed dozens, probably hundreds of ROMs in the past and never ran into such an issue. Custom ROM seemed to take, but got stuck. So I used fastboot and followed the directions to the tee in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
When the ROM is finished flashing (stock that is) it never gets past the bootloader warning screen. If I could just get a zip onto the phone, I could flash through TWRP but I have no idea how to or if it's even possible.
Cwm have a option "sdcard mount" via usb. I dont remember the specific option but you can mount your device and connect it to a computer.

The moto g just needs to do a wipe. Advanced wipe is not necessary. Then install the zip from the folder. By the way you can flash from USB otg (USB storage device such as a flash drive)
I fixed it!!!

update to latest OTA and recovery issue

HI all, I have CM12 installed on my rooted phone and this morning when I switched it on, I got a message saying:
"WARNING: Update Cyanogen recovery is disabled. This may cause issues with updating your device. Please enable Update Cyanogen recovery in developer options"
Now, that option is off because I have my custom recovery TWRP installed on the phone, I'd like to keep that and I don't want to reinstall it after the update, so I believe I should ignore the message, but what I wanted to check with you guys is whether ignoring it will in fact cause any issues as this is the first time ever I've seen this message (this update by the way I think is the first one after installing CM12).
Any idea?
thanks
Disregard the message.
Thanks Heisenberg,
I did that but when the phone restarts trying to install the update, it goes straight into recovery mode (TWRP) and from there I don't think I can install the update, as none of the options seem to allow me to do so, see screenshot http://s23.postimg.org/6d6s7wyq3/IMG_20150625_135453.jpg
All right, I downloaded the zip from here http://cyanogen-ota-bacon.somee.com/ and tried to flash it from TWRP, but I get an error, screenshot here http://s28.postimg.org/zb06wtcpp/OTA_error.jpg, any idea why?
Same here, got an error in TWRP logs that prevented the update to install.
I'd like to avoid reflashing stock recovery only to install the update...
Heres the log: http://s29.postimg.org/njqqqlfc7/Screenshot_2015_06_25_08_49_42.png
Seems something related to outdated "build fingerprint" my device has currently 12.0-YNG1TAS17L
I guess the alternative would be to do it thru Cyanogen Recovery, but let's see what more knowledgeable members have to say as, like you, I don't want to have to reinstall TWRP and SU just for the sake of the update
Looks like you cant use the official update with TWRP. Either flash it via cyanogen recovery then flash back TWRP, or use a differnt zip for update not the official
Thanks for clarifying that davebugyi, then so be it, I'll do it thru cyanogen recovery and then reflash TWRP and probably SU as well
thanks

thanks! Ah OK I see so that's the whole ROM there as opposed to just an update

Do you mean flashing only this update found at the end of the first post?

Is it safe to flash only that zip from TWRP over the stock Cyanogen OS?
Yes, but if I'm not mistaken, judging from the file size, that's the whole ROM

The file I quoted is not a whole ROM, it's 31 MB.
AH OK, sorry I thught you referred to the 500mb file
Apparently even by enabling cyanogen recovery, I still can't get the updated installed as the phone keeps rebooting in the TWRP recovery, which is very odd.
I'm having the same issue. Anyone?
Got the same problem. Any idea?

The solution seems to be installing the new ROM provided. Related problem here http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/twrp-cm-android-version-mismatch-t3147658

Stumped, can't replace CM recovery with TWRP

Okay, I'm just mystified.
I've got my OnePlus that I'd upgraded to Oxygen OS, then decided I'd be better of with CM12s, so I swapped over to that via TWRP. Once CM was installed with CM Recovery, I went to install CM 12.1.
This is where I'm stuck. I pushed TWRP via Fastboot, and then tried to reboot into recovery. However every time I do so, I get into a reboot cycle and never get to recovery. If I skip recovery and let CM take over, it replaces recovery with CM recovery.
So how do I get TWRP on? I'm trying to get to CM dailies, but CM won't install them (unsigned error), and can't get TWRP on as I've mentioned earlier.
ANy ideas?

There is a setting in CM to not let it rewrite the recovery with its own recovery when it boots up. Set that, then flash twrp

As in turn off "Update Cyanogen recovery"? Or is there another setting somewhere? I've got that off, but not having any luck with that either.
Thanks @MadWhips.

That has nothing to do with it. That setting is for not overwriting the recovery when you get an OTA update, not when you reboot the device.
Check out @Heisenberg's posts. His dog has links to just about everything you could need.
Ah OK I see. My mistake .

Nailed it. It was fastboot format cache that I was missing in all my travels. Thanks!

Can you post the link to the thread that helped or the solution? I'm having the same issues but can't find the thread. Thanks.
