Good day magicians of the android and xda users, followed a tutorial where to root this you have to flash the TWRP, to be able to then install SUPERSU. (A normal root as far as I understand).
What happened is that I saw that to be able to entral to the recovery it was necessary to unblock the bootloader but doing it by means of ADB / fastboot
I follow the basic command list and when I put "fastboot oem unlock" it stays frozen and does not work on the cell phone says yes / no; volume up / down I press up / if on the cell phone while the console stays in ellipsis ... I do not know how to unblock that I can not. Any suggestions, thank you.:crying:
I have found a way to unlock bootloader again! (if the normal fastboot command does not work for you!)
I had mine bootloader re-locked for some stupid reason. And my phone stayed at Lenovo logo, So no booting or flashing custom roms again. I had giving up the hope. But after searching on some Chinese website. I found a way and it WORKED! I have now again a unlocked bootloader.
The website is in Chinese but don't worry people you just need to fill in some small data.
1: go to the website : https://www.zui.com/iunlock
fill box 1 your IMEI 1
fill box 2 your SERIAL key (the key that you get when you connect to fastboot and use the command 'Fastboot Devices')
fill box 3 your email
fill box 4 the security code that you see to the right of it ( Four numbers )
check the last box, as accepting the rules for warranty blabla. And click the BLUE BIG button
Now wait and have patience! After a while you will get a email with a file in it. Download that file and put it in your adb folder.
now check your device first if its connected and that you see the serial.
- > Fastboot devices <-
If YES than continue...
Use the command :
Fastboot flash unlock (name_of_the_file).img
after that use command:
fastboot oem unlock-go
And your bootloader is UNLOCKED AGAIN !!! :highfive::good::laugh:
Phone is back to life
Disclaimer: sharing your imei is not safe, other people can easily duplicate it on other phones. Google: ''why you shouldn't share your imei''.
Use this as your last resort if your phone doesn't boot or is bricked. Use a fake imei, follow the process and once or phone is unlocked, update the imei using the link @sth0r created on xda to fix imei for the lenovo z5

In this case the fastboot command is wrong.
You want to boot the phone up to the landing screen and enter ADB devices in your command prompt. Enter That.
You can also get the correct serial by opening the dialer app and entering *#06# in your touch phone pop-up keypad
Hope that helps!
This was helpful, It worked for me. Thanks.
Guide outdated - this worked for me now
Phone: ZUK Z2 Plus (Z2131)
After having tried many times following this tutorial and never receiving any E-Mail, I found a rather simple solution that worked:
I didn't really expect it to work, so this is from memory, wordings may differ a bit.
First: make backup of your data!
Make sure you have updated ZUI to the latest available version.
Enable developer options ( From your device go to " About -> ZUI version" , scroll down and click " build number " continuously until you see "You are now a developer")
Go to developer Options and look for the toggle "Allow OEM Unlock" (or similar) and set it to enable. Confirm.
Reboot.
The phone automatically performs a factory reset (All Data lost!).
Now you can continue with flashing custom recovery (TWRP) and ROM.
For example use Lineage OS. Instructions: (Sorry, can't post the link)
Finally I can enjoy the phone with custom ROM and up-to-date Android 10.
Is this why I can't see my device when it is in fast boot mode or boot loader mode?

You are liar.
This solution will not work, because bootloader still will be locked at this state
Yes, I have searched the whole forum and after finding mixed answers I decided to post a question myself. I have used the Huawei Bootloader Unlock app from the Play Store in a P10 Lite and it worked fine but it says P20 is not supported. I have read on methods like disassembling the device but that's out of my range. So the question here is: Is there ANY way (apart from the disassembling one) to unlock the bootloader?
Thanks.

I asked DC_Unlocker Support if they could Unlock my Bootloader on my P10Lite with android 8 ! And they told me after Android 8, and Emui 5+ the P10Lite Devices aren't Supported now.
If their would be a Way or if anyone has an other Idea... DLoad, Flashing Roms Rollback didn't worked for me.
But i would really like to try other Ways if their would be a Chance for a Working Way to Rollback on Android 7. Couse than DC-Unlocker would Work and could Unlock the Bootloader and Root the Phone, Flash TWRP and Doing much other things.

I'd love to know... I have my unlock code, but I have no idea how to use it. I got my code from Huawei before they stopped providing them.

First of all, enable the Developer Option
1. To Enable the Developer Option, Go to your Settings –> System -> About Phone -> Now Tap on the Build Number 7-8 Times until you see a toast message “Developer option enabled“
2. Now go to Developer optiosn in the settings and Enable OEM unlock
3. Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot
4. Turn off your phone and Press Volume Up and Power button simultaneously to open Fastboot mode or enter the command [to enter command, you need to connect your phone to PC using USB Cable]
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
5. now unlock your device’s bootloader with this command line.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock *****************
You need to replace the ****** with the unique unlock code.
Once it is done, you can reboot your phone. Now you can install TWRP Recovery, Custom Kernel, Root or even install Custom ROM. Enjoy!

Wow thanks! I'll get on that this weekend!
Happy new year! I was hoping to bring in the new year with root, but strangely with this version when ever I boot into "bootloader" from the recovery menu, the device screen is blank, and adb does not detect anything.
Would someone be gracious enough to provide a step by step root for this particular US variant? I can send you a gift card if you get me running with just root!
Thank You!
It's a $100 USD Gift card btw. I would send it to you via a direct message, or I can send you some crypto if you provide me your wallet should the root prove successful (for same amount). Thank you and have a happy new year!

On other thread you mentioned that `fastboot devices` gives nothing. I suspect that you are missing drivers for your device so try installing drivers first. Try these: Xperia 5 II driver - Sony Developer World ?
I saw that link before, but my device was not specifically listed. I'll try it anyway and hope that it works.
I boot into the "Fastbootd" menu on the phone, and then plug the device into my machine. when I run the "fastboot device" command I get:
fastboot: usage: unknown command device
When I then try the second method of connecting to fastboot (by holding down the volume up button while at the same time plugging the device in as per the instructions here: https://developer.sony.com/develop/...der/how-to-unlock-bootloader/#tutorial-step-2), the phone screen is blank.
I then try running the command "fastboot device" and I just get a "waiting for any device". Thanks for taking a look and let me know what else needs to be done!
Also I tried installing the drivers, and that did not work either. I still get the error "fastboot: usage: unknown command device"

I see the issue now, I've been typing "Fastboot device" instead of "fastboot devices". I managed to successfully unlock the bootloader! Now how do I go about achieving root access?
btw the screen is still blank when I plug in the phone via the "Volume Up + USB connect" way of getting access to fastboot, if that makes a difference.
Also as A WARNING for anyone following this thread, unlocking the bootloader immediately initiates a wipe of the device. I had no problem with that since this is a brand new phone that I just got and am trying to unlock. Also, I am on:
Android 10
Build #: 58.0.A.22.21

Follow this guide to get root access: [GUIDE][WIN10] Bootloader Unlock/Re-Lock, Rooting with Magisk and flashing Firmwares | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)
As you have unlocked bootloader I believe you only need steps 25-27 to get root access.
Note: Read thread completely so that you can take backup if needed and also make sure you install all required things.

Thanks! But I just wanted to help you out. I won't be taking any gift cards in return!
If you want you can donate it to some of these developers so that they can work on supporting more!
Cheers and Happy New Year!
It Worked! I appreciate your help, but I mostly just followed the link you provided from
Miustone. Thank you to him and you both! That Thread should definitely be pinned in the
"Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe" section too!
Ill donate to Miustone, and have a happy new year!
EDIT: Darn looks like Miustone only takes paypal, which I don't have (I have crypto). Thanks again for the help everyone!
Quick Question, how do you tell which region firmware is on your phone?
Do *#*#7378423#*#* go to Service Info >> Software Info and you will get Firmware details

No because you can't
I also have Sony Xperia 5 II XQ-AS62 and I've found myself in a similar situation as burnsmotorcycle but I think it's because I have TWRP installed. More specifically, I see my device when I run "adb devices", I get nothing when I run "fastboot devices", and I get TWRP when I run "adb reboot recovery".
Does anyone know how I can uninstall TWRP? Please note, my device still has the bootloader unlocked, fastboot commands are unresponsive now that TWRP is present, and ADB and Magisk seems to be the only tools available to me right now.
Hello everybody,
i'm not new in custom roms, but i have a problem, i can't solve by myself:
I flashed an unlocked Mi5 to linageos 19.1 without problems.
I had the bad idea to relock the bootloader due to security reasons (fastboot oem lock).
Now the device is not booting anymore, i can just see the Mi-Logo flashing very shortly.
I can access fastboot, but can't boot into recovery.
I tried to unlock the device again, but the Mi Unlocker fails and prompts me to go to the developer options in Miui, which is clearly impossible.
Any chance to proceed from fastboot (fastboot oem unlock does not work...) ?
Thanks, Jan
congrats, you succesfully hard bricked your phone. please take it for a walk to the xiaomi service and pay for gettting it fixed. who told you it is a good idea to relock the bootloader with a custom rom installed ?

actually, i remember some banking apps complained about the locked bootloader. I thought i can lock/unlock it in fastboot mode, but looks like i was wrong.
I will give the MiFlash Tool a chance, but i have not much hope...

Make sure if your bootloader is really locked or not using fastboot command
fastboot oem device-info
OR,
fastboot getvar unlocked
If it's not locked, you can simply flash your stock rom using flash tool available for mi. Before downloading a rom from internet, take note of your device info using fastboot command ,
fastboot getvar all
And if bootloader is really locked, you have to flash stock rom from EDL mode. You may have to remove back cover to turn on EDL mode. Your device has snapdragon chipset (Plus point). Watch tutorials about xiaomi edl rom flash - snapdragon. You can go to service centre. If they tell you that you have to replace motherboard, don't be agree. Tell them to flash rom using EDL mode.

looks like i am getting closer... located the two EDL points to short during PC connection, installed the Qualcomm serial driver. For a second i see the device appearing as COM6 but then it disappears again and is not availiable anymore.
Any hints ?

Flash stock recovery for your device via fastboot, then you should be able to boot into recovery or flash a stock system.img or your full stock firmware for your device, then unlock the bootloader(fastboot oem unlock) then flash TWRP and LineageOS again.

But he mentioned, bootloader fails to unlock. Actually it's hard brick(Even though he can boot into fastboot,the bootloader is locked. So nothing to do with fastboot).Without unlocked bootloader, flashing something from fastboot will hard brick his device completely (Will not be able to boot into fastboot). Or flashing will be denied

OK, next level reached. The phone is connected to the com-port and the correct driver is displayed.
The whole procedure is a bit unstable, i need to connect the phone several times, to get a stable EDL mode.
The Xiaomi Flasher recognizes the phone, but flashing does not succeed. Sometimes it's not able to receive a kind of Hello message, sometimes it displays "object reference not set to an instance of an object".
I also downloaded the QPST flasher, but have no plan, how to use it.
I'll keep on trying!
Thanks to all, who helped me to reach this point!

I found something new by watching this video. Maybe you don't understand hindi(India is our relative country, so I do).
Lemme explain,
This guy's xiaomi k20 pro phone hard bricked with a locked bootloader. He tried a lot to repair it(by deep flash or something idk). But everything failed. At last he came to this step of EDL mode. But xiaomi Edl mode flash requires an "AUTHORIZED MI ACCOUNT" . Xiaomi people pay to get authorized account license that normal users don't have. So the guy contacted with them on a telegram page called "Mod Edit: Name Removed" . They told him that they will repair his phone via teamviewer. All he had to do is pay some $ & connect phone in edl mode. Rest of the things were done by them. And his phone repaired successfully! (Watch the video from 4:00)
So In his video, he is telling to go to that page & contact with "Mod Edit: Name Removed" there. They take 20-25$ (depends on device). If you tell them you're from Mod Edit: Name Removed's video, they will give some discount

Yeah, I jumped the gun and posted before seeing all the replies in the thread describing their whole scenario, should've known better.
They obviously need a hardware approach, i.e. JTAG/RIFF/Octoplus or replace motherboard.

Thanks for research!
Meanwhile, i stopped using Windows due to all the caveats and switched to reliable Debian Linux on a different machine.
Again it takes 10 attempts to get into EDL Mode.
I used qdl (Qualcomm downloader for Linux) with all the firehose, raw and patch .xmls
Code:
sudo ./qdl --debug --storage ufs --include . prog_ufs_firehose_8996_ddr.elf partition.xml rawprogram0.xml rawprogram1.xml rawprogram2.xml rawprogram3.xml rawprogram4.xml rawprogram5.xml patch0.xml patch1.xml patch2.xml patch3.xml patch4.xml patch5.xml
Output looked like some stuff was written, at the end i receive:
Code:
qdl: failed to write: Connection timed out
However, the phone is now dead as can be without fastboot working any more.
Maybe i'll give it another try, or get a used Mainboard...
Best regards, Jan

That's expensive. Anyway, it will be better if you don’t waste time on this. Just go for 3rd party help(From that official telegram channel or service centre). That will cost less

Thanks Tawsif for the good hints and links.
I don't really depend on the phone, so i will keep trying.
It's not wasted time, it's mainly learning new stuff and improving skills.
I believe, i'm not too far away and if it works, it's the best satisfaction.
If not, i bricked an old Mi 5.
All the best,
Jan
