Have you successfully unlocked the bootloader ?
Which recovery image are you trying to flash ?

Can you try flashing TWRP 2.7.1.1 instead ? ( Just to see if it's a general issue or something related to your image file )

So, you're stuck with the stock recovery or with a custom one ?
I'd try to install an unsecured kernel + ROM like Jmz's and try flashing a new recovery after that.
Not sure if it would work, just my thoughts and gut says that it might

[Q] OnePlus One - Unable to unlock bootloader again after relocking

Hi Guys,
Hope to get some help here.
So i unlocked the bootloader of my one plus one and installed supersu + Twrp recovery. All worked fine until i decided to relock the bootloader.
I've put the device into fastboot mode and executed "fastboot oem lock" with twrp recovery still in there.
Now i am trying to unlock the bootloader again using "fastboot oem unlock" to be able to flash the stock recovery and having issues.
output of commands:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem unlock
...
OKAY [ 0.004s]
finished. total time: 0.005s
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>
After this it boots straight to twrp recovery. I then hit reboot system and go back to fastboot mode and run the below:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery
.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (12260 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.389s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Device not unlocked cannot flash or erase)
finished. total time: 0.404s
Anyone has an idea how i can unlock the bootloader again ?
Thanks
Vik

Would it let you reflash the stock factory image thru fastboot? Maybe if you could do that it would let you unlock again. And it would give you stock recovery.
Or else what about the option in developer settings to update the stock cm recovery when installing an update. Maybe you could install an official update thru TWRP and get stock recovery back?
Just throwing out ideas, hope you figure it out

I've documented ths same issue describe here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/locked-bootloader-twr-rooted-t2820341

Download and flash that script.

Hi YrrchSebor,
Thanks for the reply.. I already tried all that, even using adb sideload and keep getting same error as mentioned above. I'll try the solution lemonspeakers suggested later today and post the outcome.

Be careful if you updated your phone to XNPH30O OTA,
!!! Warning !!!
In the NEW OTA CM11S XNPH30O, the bootloader (aboot) img size changed....
We request all not to apply the unlocker scripts on the new bootloader , until we confirm/find the new bit position.
It might brick your phone and corrupt bootloader...

It won't work.. do not try it if you updated to XNPH30O using the OTA.

I ran this command:
Code:
fastboot.exe boot TWRP-2.7.1.0.img
But the next step does not work:
Code:
It will boot your phone into recovery once from the recovery image
stored in your PC temporarily
then you can flash the zip either by sideload or from sdcard...
I got:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.484s]

FAILED (remote: Device not unlocked cannot boot)

That's because you can't boot a recovery with the recent bootloader unless you're unlocked.

Ok, first be sure that your Bootloader is unlocked, on dialer type:
*#*#7378423#*#* -> Service info -> Configuration -> Rooting status :
Bootloader unlock done
Then download TWRP form here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767112082
To boot into fastboot mode, you should turn the M2 off and connect it to your computer using a USB cable while holding down the Volume Up button with the other end of the USB cable already connected to the computer, the led light should turn into blue.
Flash the TWRP recovery running:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/the/twrp.img

My problem with flashtool was that I couldn't unlock my bootloader, It was some folders and files that made me unable to do it. Try to find on YouTube "Fix bootloader on Flashtool", something like that, probably you will find... It's simple to fix. Hope I have helped.... Sorry about my English!

Unfortunately, because of the FRP lock, is what is causing the commands to fail.
Were you doing anything prior to trying to unlock the bootloader?
What model do you have?
