[Q] Stuck in a state between locked and unlocked

Hi everybody,
i have a really strange issue. I unlocked my device using Asus unlocker. After some day i did a "Factory Reset". Now I'm stuck at the Bootlogo. I see there "The devices is unlocked". When i boot into fastboot and use "fastboot getvar all" i see as value for unlocked false.
I can not flash anything using fastboot in this case right? Is there a way to fix this?

I and a few other people I have checked with, with unlocked devices also have there getvar command display the same, "unlocked: no".
This is not an issue as far as I know, not sure why the getvar command displays unlocked as no, - but your device is unlocked.:good:

Thanks for your answer. Then i have an other question. When i switch into the Fastboot menu should there be an USB icon? I only have 3 Icons
-> RCK, Android, Wipe Data. If i want to flash a stock rom using Fastboot should there be this USB icon?

No there is no usb icon in the new 4.2.1 bootloader.
Fastboot will automatically be running if you boot in bootloader while connected to pc.

oem unlock is not allowed

Hi, I've got the 6045Y model which I've been trying to install twrp on, but I can't unlock the bootloader; it says oem unlock is not allowed.
I've tried on os x and linux with sudo but it's the same on both sides. As my phone isn't carrier locked, I don't understand why it's not allowing me to unlock the bootloader. There's also no oem unlock option in the developer options.
Any help?

You must do something wrong?
Can you trY with Windows
You need Alcatel Drivers+Minimal Adb and Fastboot
connect device you must enable debugging and then
-type "adb reboot-bootloader" to reboot into bootloader. The device should reboot to the screen showing "alcatel onetouch...powered by android". This is bootloader mode.
-Then type "fastboot -i 0x1bbb devices" should show some numbers and "fastboot" after the numbers
-Type "fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem device-info" shows device info including bootloader status (e.g. locked).
-Type "fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem unlock" to unlock the bootloader; after this you should get, for device info,
-Type "fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem device-info" and you should see "Device unlocked: true"
-To reboot normally: "fastboot -i 0x1bbb reboot"

I tried on windows just now and the same thing happened: "FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)". I should mention though, I flashed twrp before unlocking the bootloader. I wonder if this is what's causing the problem.

I dont remember if this option was there, but you can try. Go into Settings/About Phone, scroll down and click on “build number” continuously until you see a toast notification telling you that you've enabled Developer Options. Go back to your Settings menu and enter Developer Options, scroll down and click on the “Enable OEM Unlock” checkbox, also make sure you enable USB Debugging while you're in the Developer Options menu.

Same problem with same UK model and installed that patch too. I managed to flash TWRP and install PAC ROM still bootloader claims to be locked.
fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem unlock
FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)
fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem device-info
(bootloader) Device tempered:false
(bootloader) Device Unlock:false

easiest way is to download stock firmware with flsh tool for panasonic eluga switch (rebranded idol3),. Flash it with using the included flash tool. then unlock bootloader. Then use mobile upgrade Q 5.0.6 to go back to stock. And you are on stock uk firmware with unlocked bootloader.

I flashed someone's stock 6045Y(Europe) Firmware: 5.0.2-010 03 but couldn't unlock it either. After that I flashed 6045-i806-DCZ. I was really surpriced it let me do that while claiming to be locked and untempered. After that I did factory reset and flashed PAC-ROM. I'm not sure why should I bother to unlock bootloader if I already have TWRP and PAC-ROM flashed. I've no idea how can I even flash rom's with locked bootloader? Maybe oem device-info is bugged.
Anyways I download panasonic eluga switch firmwire, gonna test it after taking backups.

the Panasonic firmware flash also the aboot partition which has bootloader unlock enabled. without unlocked bootloader you could end with bricked device and the only solution is mobile upgrade q.

I did as you said and finally got bootloader unlocked, yey! Hopefully I don't have to go thought that process anytime soon. Thanks and thumps up!

1-You didnt wrote phch model do you have.
2-newer heard of this issue . Install the drivers from the eluga firmware app, reboot, turn off your device, connect device to computer, run the download form the eluga firmware app.

That is the point from my previouse question! If you flash TWRP, your bootloader is unlocked by default!

It looks like MM update dont include aboot with commands for unlocking bootloader. You have to use mobile upgrade Q PC aPP, or Panasonic eluga firmware flash tool (for 6045Y) to go back to 5.0.2. Then unlock bootloader, and flash update to MM (or when on panasonic firmware youhave to use mobile upgrade Q to go back to stock). When on stock, wat for OTA MM or flash MM from XDA thread.

FRP Lock Problem

Hello,
i wanted to root my Huawei P8max (Android 6.0 Emui 4.0) with a guide from xda (http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8max/general/p8max-root-guide-d-701l-d-703l-t3269213)
I already have my Bootloader Code but in the 6. step typing fastboot oem unlock xxx (xxx=bootloader Code) i get a FAILED (remote: Necessary to unlock FRP).
So i removed the Google account in Settings and did a factory reset. In the beginning configuration of the phone, the phone didn't ask me for the old Google account. I thought that the FRP Lock is gone. But when I go to Fastboot & Rescue Mode there is still Standing "Phone Unlocked / FPR Lock".
I tried the 6.step again and i got still the same message FAILED (remote: Necessary to unlock FRP).
So i googled it and found out that i have to go to Settings and disable "OEM Unlock". But I don't have These Kind of Option in my Settings.
Then i did an upgrade to Android 5.1 Emui 3.1, i thought that i can find the OEM Unlock Option there but didn't find it.
Then i rooted my device with Kingroot which is only possivle with Android 5.1 and wanted to unlock Bootloader in the hope that the bootloader is still unlocked when i upgrade it to Android 6.0 but still in Android 5.1 i am not able to unlock the bootloader neither to install TWRP. I always get the FAILED (remote: Necessary to unlock FRP) message.
Can anyone help me to remove the FRP lock?
Thanks
Yaman

Hi Kingkea,
yes i looked there but i don't have this Option. Which Firmware do you have installed on your P8max?

you need HCU Client ... (paid tool )

sorry i don't have OEM unlock in developer Setting. which Firmware do you use? im on DAV-701LC209B203 now.
And i found out that my bootloader is already unlocked. So i jumped over to "Android 6 Flash Insecure Boot.img" and tried to do the 6. Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img.
Here i get a similar Problem like FAILED (remote: command not allowed)
any idea?

Mi4c bootloader Unlock failed!!!

My MIUI version is 7.5.2 (Chinese Stable) . I want to unlock the bootloader and flash custom rom like sMIUI. Tried the official way to unlock and i got the sms with the verification key but failed while unlocking at 50% which is very frustrating. Would be grateful if anyone please help me in details cause i have less idea about flashing any mobile phone.
Someone has created a thread about the process (link below) but it says it won't work with the higher MIUI versions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/general/guide-unlocking-mi4c-bl-verification-t3336779
Please help me...

I unlocked 7.5.2 (not china version).
You can try the last 3 steps in the guide you linked. :
Reboot into fastboot mode (Power + Vol Down)
Command: fastboot oem unlock -> at this point you should have an unlocked bootloader
Now optionally install TWRP and subsequently CM 12.1 and enjoy (see respective linkes in the requirements for a howto) - TWRP: fastboot flash recovery <twrp>.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then check if unlock was successful :
fastboot oem device-info

When did you receive the SMS notification? It may take a couple more days for you to be able to actually unlock. Not your fault, blame Xiaomi.

Can you please tell me in details how i install sMiui or other stock roms? Cause i don't have any idea u talking about. I have very less knowledge about the thing.

I used the same method like mesziman mentioned, worked great for me.
But you should try the developer version ! Some guys had same problem with stable...
Edit: Links i can´t give you (maybe someone else complete) but first of all you should get all and the latest driver. I think for that you could install the xiaomi suite from en.miui or miflash, don´t remember well.
Then you have to unlock bootloader like written before by mesziman. I used for that a adb program on my pc, don´t remember the exact name.
Go into fastboot, connect phone with pc. -> commands. Then you unlocked bootloader.
Now you can flash the recovery with for example odin (pc program) and thats it.
(install rom)
But look for a step by step guide. There is written exactly what to do.

First, you didn't say what device model number you have.
Next, not all devices can be unlocked and not all devices that can be unlocked can use the "oem unlock" command. Some devices use "fastboot flashing unlock" command to unlock bootloader.
Last, just because your device has the "oem unlock" option in dev settings, doesn't mean your device can be unlocked.
