if we flash boot.img can we brick the bootloader. or bootloader need another type of img file. if bootloader image need another img file what if i flash everything like system/boot/and other but le bootloader and brick my phone does this mean it is a sot brick and i can boot into bootloader and flash stock.
last thing if bootloader need another img file so why do we even risk to flash bootloader why we need to modify it. and if we brick bootloader can we fix it or sony may be able to fix it.

Hi all, mi question is simple, and I think if the fastboot is only in unlocked devices, or in all?
If I enter in this mode can I flash a kernel or room if I have locked boatloader?
Thanks
You can flash it, you can flash a kernel with flashtool, but it won't boot with locked bootloaders. That's the problem. We can flash anything we want, but getting it to boot is another issue.
Thanks, solved

A bootloader cannot relock itself even after a brick, so the problems are most likely caused by the brick itself. How did you brick your tablet?

Hello
I am trying to unlock the bootloader of my phone(lyf lame 1 ls4503) and its bootloader has been permanently locked and cant be unlocked by any method
After some research, i got to know that if we can modify the aboot file to our need then we can unlock the bootloader and be able to remove frp
but i also heard that if we mess with aboot file it may have changed to permanent brick and cant be fix even though if we flash the ROM using download mode
is it right? that the download mode won't work if we mess with aboot
if no, just help me with the aboot patching with some procedure
i am having LYF flame 1 ls4503
having qualcomm snapdragon 210 ms8909

No, you would be lucky if you could flash it in edl, but I don't think you would
thanks
if you didnt told that i may have done it
Someone who has unlocked mi 5s plus bootloader please share the 'emmc_appsboot.mbn' and 'aboot.mbn'
file.we can replace these files from edl mode and unlock the bootloader,After I last repaired the phone, I can't unlock the bootloader, and I can't flash twrp. I heard that flash unlocked aboot partition by 9008 can unlock the bootloader. Please help me,thanks
I don't think the file will unlock anything since it's flashed with factory default everytime you flash zip update & the phone's still unlocked.
Plus: how to extract the one in the phone? TWRP can't do that...

Hey what's up.
Having issues and want to start from scratch but the MSM download tool isn't working for me due to driver issues I can't seem to resolve.
I'm unlocked and rooted with a custom kernel but otherwise totally stock.
Would I be able to just fastboot flash the stock boot.img and relock the bootloader for a total data wipe? Would that be enough to start fresh?
Go into magisk. Click uninstall. Click restore images. Your images should have been backup by the app. Reboot and reset from reset option in phone. No need to relock.
Thanks. Is that as good as the MSM tool as data wipes go? Want to get as fresh as I possibly can without MSM...

Boot to fastboot,
Code:
fastboot -w
what is the best way to relock the bootloader from Rooted( Magisk) and unlocked bootloader ? I did fastboot lock last time, I guess it locked successfully but refused to boot. Had to use msm to unbrick. Could you suggest best practice for Locking the bootloader again from rooted stock ?

You can't lock the bootloader while rooted. Your patched boot fails startup checks. The only phone i remember that you could root and relock was the oneplus one. There was a software hack to do a soft bootloader lock/unlock without wiping the data.
To expand on that, if you modified any locked partitions and try to relock the bootloader, you'll essentially soft brick. The only thing you can modify is I believe is userdata. If you are unsure, why take the chance, especially since your MSM isn't working.
Just do a factory reset from recovery lol or use fastboot
