MT7-L09: Phone Unlocked BUT command not allowed when flashing

Hi,
I never saw this problem
My phone is unlocked (since a year more or less) and I can't install TWRP nor CWM. I tried many tutorials such as all the root methods listed on XDA for this smartphone.

There might be a problem with your drivers. You can try uninstalling and reinstalling them. Also, try using fastboot commands manually

unlock again

Thank you. I'd like not to have to relock it as it's already done and rooted. Could you please tell me what drivers to install? I tested many of them (https://i.imgur.com/wBgsezr.png) but it seems I don't have the right ones then.
I'm using Win7 64bits.
Thanks again!

Use adbdriveinstaler and when it's install you can push recovery to add folder and try this command
cd C:/adb
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Change name your twrp or cwm to recovery
Send frome globe

Okay. Here we go
ADB driver installed (https://i.imgur.com/PWrZoHH.png)
Went to flash and... still not allowed.
And in fastboot/rescue mode on my phone it's written PHONE Unlocked.
WTF
BTW, is there any other way to upgrade the phone? Cause every time I go to the software update in the menu i'm told it's up-to-date, but it's not... Android 4.4.2 & EMUI 3.0.
I read about a "local update" but can't find out how to update from the SDcard, I only have OTA.

Won't OTA after root and twrp

I was excited to see that Nougat was finally coming to my phone, but alas, it won't work for me. After downloading the update (over the course of an hour) it spits out an error saying that it cant verify my phone (or something like that) then exits. I made a nandroid backup, then flashed the developer/unlocked RUU (P.S. this is an AT&T model, but with the CID/MID changed) and it still won't take the OTA. If I need to flash the AT&T RUU, then what CID/MID would I need?

So, I checked this site (after clearing browser cache) and theres a download for an RUU, but twrp won't flash it

If fully converted id suggest running the ruu for 1.57.617.X, and then take the ota... Cant flash ota with twrp installed... Has to be stock.everything
RUU for Nougat is available now

If you converted your phone or it is USA unlocked, you can take the OTA once you have downloaded the 1.57 ZIP ONLY! ruu from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-a9/general/wip-ruu-htc-one-a9-t3240344/page58 , then. Rename it to 2PQ9IMG.ZIP and put it on a microsdcard, then put that in your phone and put it in download mode, which will prompt you to flash the ruu. Go ahead and do that. Once completed, reboot. Make sure your CID is BS_US_0001 or something like that

cannot use superCID, I just found that out earlier, make sure your CID is BS_US001 as mentioned above, and you should be good.

how can i fix it ?

Probably bad flash/ota. Happened too me as well. I had to reset to stock and reflash via Odin. Make full backup of your device, then try to get back to stock.

can you please describe little bit more ...
you mean i could wipe data with twrp recovery mode ?
or should use odin to install the same firmware again or what ?

What? No. Didn't say anywhere to root. Get to bootloader, use odin and flash original samsung system.

How to make full backup of the device if u arent rooted??

Don't root and fiddle around if you don't know what your doing. Or at least get enough information about what your doing before doing it.

this happened to me after flashing stock FW with odin and then flashing custom recovery without first letting the phone to boot.
After flashing CSC, the phone needs to go to revocery and finish the flashing process (copy CSC files to system). If you flash custom rom, it might not be able to flash the zip and therefore you have no CSC and get weird settings.
I was able to flash the zip with custom recovery by remounting system as read-write first.

Can't flash TWRP or root, odin fails every time

hey, i've been trying to root 920P (S6 Sprint) for whole week now, i've tried everything i found, tried to flash few versions of TWRP, failed at 99%, tried to root directly with CF-Auto root and it fails mid-flash, tried multiple versions of odin, still same results :|

it's really weird, I've succesfully flashed 920F (International) without any problem multiple times. I can flash stock rom so it's not hardware's fault. Am i missing some simple newbie step?

{FIXED}
i was missing newbie step like i suspected xDD i forgot to enable oem unlock

what is the solution ?

my device is sm920A . it is at&t . i cannot find oem unlocker

Possible Solution to Odin "failed" messaged whilst flashing
Warm greetings to all.
I have previously encountered this problem before, ive tried clearing the cache and formatting with still no luck
Eventually I wanted to try something, I loaded my software I wanted to flash on a USB.
I then used an OTG adapter to connect the usb to my phone. I then booted into the recovery ( I have TWRP) and chose install from external storage. To my surprise it worked.
NOTE: I am not sure if this method will work on stock recoveries. Also if you have an external hard drive it works as well
Also note. My S6 is an international version i believe G925F
Wishing you all the best of luck if I was not able to help

I tried to Root my POC F2 Pro device today, and I got stuck on boot-loop.
After installing TWRP I didn't manage to find the files in the internal storage (Something to do with storage encryption.) so I saw some videos and Change the partition to exFAT and then to EXT4 and from that moment everything went to hell.
I can't do anything and the device is not botting up. When I try do to anything like installing and new Global room/Wipe/Repair - I get this:

Can you enter in fasboot mode?
If yes https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/

DAAMMM WOW man...! I searched for a solution all night and didn't find anything no matter how hard I tried.
In one comment you fixed everything! Really (really) appreciated!
Thanks again!

@NOSS8 Maybe you can help me root my phone...?
After I installed the TWRP, I enter recovery mode and I see 0MB in the 'Internal Storage'.
I have PIN to the phone, but it's not asking me to write it down when I boot to recovery.
What can I do?

I manage to do it. I created a new boot image using Magisk and it worked.
Thanks again for the quick reply!
