It will only work on UNLOCKED devices
It requires access to Fastboot to prepare device first time
It won’t work on fully bricked devices (See 2.)
You need to keep files safe!
If you upgraded to Offiical JB it *won’t* work!
i'm not have fastboot and i'm on Official JB
i have try to enter on APX mode but i can't

did you try to install the asus pc sync (it shoul install the driver for use adb & fastboot) and after boot into recovery
from prompt you should be able to use adb
write adb devices
and if you can see the code of the devices may you can still have a possibility to flash troght adb

ok man i understand the problem today
i have flashed the last TeamWin Recovery but not compatible with 4.2.1 but 4.1 stock rom and now all partition can't be mounted in recovery, i have found adb in broken recovery and push recovery img for flash with dd command and all done in shell but nothing flashed !! then "adb reboot bootloader" for try to reflash with fastboot, same story all done in shell but nothing flashed !! ok no problem i try to boot android in boot menu and damn partition is ok and android booting !!!!!!! :laugh:
ok remain 2 way. use dd in terminal emulator but can't without root permission and use nvflash but it's not work with JB confirm ?
waiting for a tool using an exploit for root from internal android and try dd or next update for nvflash.
any idea ? and sorry for my very bad english

and what do you think about ?

if you can boot the system may you can verify again the bootloader whit asus tool from the website maybe for any unsense reason it's locked....

ops wrong tread

Ok, I just tried some stuff and:
1. I can also access fastboot and OS.
2. Trying to flash modified TWRP with fastboot freezes bootloader.
3. In-system can't open .RAR files.
4. After manually transfering unpacked V8 unlocker from PC it says there's an "unknown problem" when trying to install unlocker. It supposedly upgraded from V7 to V8 app without problem.
In bootloader it says at the top of the screen that "Key driver not found... Booting OS". After that it lists bootloader info ( v. 1.00 e ).
Looks like recovery's bricked with some further issues in the OS itself.
EDIT:
Bricked the OS. Tried reflashing stock system and now bootloader freezes when trying to boot OS. My guess would be that fastboot can still erase stuff but most likely can't write ( at least not properly ). Google/Asus probably know of a way to restore our tablets but Asus clearly prefers to replace motherboards.
I have to think whether it's worth it for me to replace the MB but most likely will just sell the thing for parts.

whan you try to re-flash the system somthing goes in the wrong way? do you still have fastbooy access? was the usb debug on?
sorry but which rar you can't open?

Wipe help and bootloader

I have unlocked my boot loader which doesn't allow you to use recovery mode. Is there a way to completely wipe the phone and undo the bootloader thing? What program can you use. Also, how can you hide the bootloader unlocked start up screen? Thanks

I want to be sure you have all your ideas straight. How comfortable are you with working from the bootloader or from recovery? What tools do you use? Can you access recovery by this method?: Hold "Power" and "Volume Down" for ten seconds and release. This takes you to the bootloader. Then press "Volume Down" once to select the recovery, then press "Volume Up" to activate that option. This should then boot into the recovery. If that is not what happens, let us know what happens instead.

There should be no problem using any of the various recovery modes with an unlocked bootloader. Stock, TWRP, and CWM should all work fine. Can you describe what you did, what happened, and what you expected to happen?

There are several things here. You can wipe the phone and return it to factory defaults by using "fastboot -w". This does not change your bootloader or recovery. You can re-lock you bootloader, but it will always register that the bootloader was once unlocked. There is no real benefit to relocking the bootloader so I won't put instructions here, but let me know if that's what you want to do. Finally, you can flash a new recovery image onto your device, which will wipe out whatever recovery image you had on there. The command looks like "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
Also, how can you hide the bootloader unlocked start up screen?

This is simple as flashing a new logo. The command is "fastboot flash logo logo.bin". This will overwrite the stock logo (which checks if the phone is unlocked) with a modified one which looks the same whether it is unlocked or not.

I mean fastboot recovery thing if that's what you didnt think.
I can get into the recovery screen fine. Selecting recovery puts me into a no command screen and then just boots up as normally. I was expecting to get another menu with factory reset and cache reset, and factory just boots up normally. Is factory reset from the fastboot screen just the same as the reset in the settings menu? Is it that you cant use those settings with a unlocked bootloader.
Are TWRP and CWN both apps you get for/through rooting in which you can restore back up etc? I have heard about CWN but havent really used it.
Would doing "fastboot -w" just do the same as reset from settings menu? Also I'm not sure what you mean by flash a new recovery image?
Also, I dont understand how to remove the boot loader unlocked screen. You have to start a command prompt and type in that with your phone in fastboot mode?
Is recovery
Sorry for being such stupid noob pleb :good:

I think I understand the problem. The first screen you come to says "Fastboot flash mode" or something like that and has a boot mode selection menu with "Recovery" as one option. This screen is the bootloader. When you are in the bootloader, you use the fastboot command on the computer to do things to the phone.
When you select and activate the "Recovery" option, you get a screen that says "No Command". This is actually the stock recovery. TWRP is TeamWin Recovery Project and CWM is Clockwork Mod. They're both roughly the same in terms to capabilities. Both have far more features than the stock recovery. You can use adb to communicate with your phone in recovery mode.
Here is a program that will help you install the recovery. USB debugging should be turned on on your phone, and you should be booted into the system. Also be sure that the proper USB drivers are installed on your computer.

Here is a thread about removing the warning screen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548530
In summary, you can either download "logo.zip" and install it from recovery, or you can download "original_logo.zip", extract "logo.bin" and use "fastboot flash logo logo.bin" when you are booted into the bootloader. I am assuming you do not have a "Google Play Edition" or "GPE". If you do, there is a different logo for you in that thread.
The bootloader can be relocked, but it will not change the warning screen. Locking the bootloader will only make it so you cannot flash custom recoveries and such. Can you explain what you hope to achieve by relocking the phone? Again, it can be done, but I want to make sure it is really what you want.
Which one would you recommend: TWRP or CWN? Thanks!

You can't go wrong with either TWRP or PhilZ. PhilZ is based on CWM. It has added features and touch capabilities. Because a recovery is so easy to switch, if you make your best guess for which you will like more, and if you are not happy with it, you can switch. I like both, and most users will find all the features they need in either one.

Okay, if you have access to bootloader fastboot mode,
Then unlock the bootloader by:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Then, flash any custom recovery by:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery pathname\recovery.img
From there, perform a complete wipe, and install a new ROM zip file (like CM11)

Hold the button combination which shows a boot menu (including recovery)

[GUIDE] How to unlock bootloader on Nokia 3

*Unlocking bootloader will remove all your data!*
I'm using Windows 7, and that's the steps i did. (it should be simmilar for other systems too)
Getting code:
Code will look simmilar to this: DB1ED223C5537BA756FB0671E425D650
Method 1 (no root):
Go to
https://passwordsgenerator.net/md5-hash-generator/ copy paste serial number and click generate. Then you should see code in "MD5 Hash of your string". You can also go to simmilar md5 hash generator sites, but this site automatically converts small letters to big letters.
Method 2 (root):
Okay, this is new method that is much easier and you don't need to send IMEI and wait for @the_laser to give you code. Go to terminal emulator, type su and execute it. Then type this and execute it:
redweaver said:
Actually the command is
echo -n NE1GAM4770133666 |md5sum |tr [:lower:] [:upper:]
If you don't use the -n flag, the newline character is also passed and you get a different result

Unlocking bootloader:
Download platform-tools which activates adb and fastboot commands (first you need Nokia 3 driver installed if you didn't)
Nokia 3 driver: http://www.devfiles.co/download/3iK0k7Sv/Nokia_3_USB_Drivers.zip
platform-tools Windows: http://www.devfiles.co/download/KtLsN6fX/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
platform-tools Mac: http://www.devfiles.co/download/OkrfluP0/platform-tools-latest-darwin.zip
platform-tools Linux: http://www.devfiles.co/download/vk5DudZX/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
Enable usb debugging in Developer options before running adb. To get Developer options, go to settings, about phone and press build number 7 times. Also enable OEM unlock.
Now Connect phone to computer via usb and enable usb file transfer, run cmd as administrator, then type this command which runs adb:
chdir C:/Users/John/Desktop/platform-tools (this is just a example, you need to type your own location of platform-tools)
then type this command to check is your device connected to adb, it will show serial number of your device, if it hangs at waiting device, then you need to reinstall drivers (if you're doing this first time, then it will ask to allow usb debugging on your computer, just tick always allow from this computer and click OK)
adb devices
then type this command to reboot to recovery (you can boot to recovery by holding power on + volume up (only with usb connected) if this command doesn't works)
adb reboot recovery
when booted to recovery, choose reboot to bootloader option with volume sliders (this will boot to fastboot)
when booted to fastboot, it will show text 'FASTBOOT MODE' in down-left corner
now type this command to check is your device connected properly to fastboot.
fastboot devices
if it show characters like 0123456789ABCDEF or simmilar then it is connected properly, if it hangs on waiting device, then you need to reinstall drivers like mentioned above.
Android Nougat (7.0 & 7.1.1):
Now type these commands to unlock bootloader
fastboot.exe -i 0x2e04 oem key (type your key after oem key)
fastboot.exe -i 0x2e04 oem unlock
then press volume up, when asked
Android Oreo (8.0 & 8.1):
First download NE1-0-215H.lk.bin:
https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZaLMs7ZclQ2wvKwSb0ofUraMmrsiHh6uk1X
Now type these commands to unlock bootloader
fastboot oem dm-verity <your_unlock_key>
fastboot flash lk NE1-0-215H.lk.bin
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Proceed your unlock procedure.
If you have problem on flashing the lk partition, you can use MTK Smart Phone Flash Tool to flash lk partition manually.
After lk partition flashed, you may encounter "Red State" when booting the phone. Ignore that and boot your phone to Fastboot mode directly with OST LA.
That is it, i tried to explain for you to understand everything i did to unlock bootloader.
Credits:
@the_laser for codes, some additional steps and corrections. Also thanks for new method. @redweaver for new method.
@Hikari_kalyx for Android Oreo method. @bigrammy for NE1-0-215H.lk.bin link.

way to enter recovery without adb -
power off phone
press and hold volume up + power on buttons, insert cable immediately
countdown will start on phone, hold both keys until countdown ends, then IMMEDIATELY release power on key, still holding volume up
you will enter recovery shortly
after installing TWRP it is very important - DO NOT allow /system modification until supersu package installation ! ( or you will require reflashing phone with OST )
another note - can't enter recovery by combination volume-up + power button, if phone not connected to computer
one man reported, that even he successfully flashed TWRP image with "fastboot flash recovery <twrp image>", he still got original recovery.
workaround is to use "fastboot boot <twrp image>" - as we need to have USB cable connected to enter TWRP recovery anyway, not big problem.

EDIT: i find out that is not true, it asks for some password to decrypt data, but the problem is that idk what is the password

EDIT: My fault, it actually work but you need to wait more than usual to boot.

I have stock recovery, but I use fastboot command 'fastboot boot recoveryname.img' when I need TWRP, and that's awesome because I don't lose stock recovery which is useful to flash OTAs and Nokia zips. I flashed SuperSu 2.79 just fine, but expect some crashes like software update, device monitor crash, but actually everything works, software update works just fine.

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsmTb5aqoY12mDZqDZbPOp47QVMV
when downloaded, copy twrp to folder platform-tools and rename it to recovery.img
reboot to fastboot, then type this command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then reboot, fastboot reboot
if it didn't worked, use this command just to boot to twrp (you need to do this everytime when you are connected to PC)
fastboot boot recovery.img
To install root, first disable system modification on twrp then flash this zip for root.
This is not the latest version of SuperSU, but newest releases have some problems and crashes. (at least for me). This is last version that works for me.
That is it.

Thank you!

on twrp, there is a option wipe, click on it, then you will see option swipe to factory reset. then wait and reboot.
And you can now enable system modification if you want (it is recommended to enable it because some zips fails to flash because this option is disabled)

Thanks. But it wasn't dm-verity. It says it's not enabled.
It was a kernel issue.
Good thing I have a usb hub and otg cable so I used mouse and flash drive to work through twrp.
I'm semi-noob at these things because the last and only time I dabbled in flashing was way back (samsung galaxy note 2) so I'm good as complete newbie in a way.
Thanks to everyone who replied here. Appreciated.
edit:
The faulty twrp was the source of the "touchscreen not working" issue
