Have I accomplished the first hardbricked pixel? :D - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Hello guys. Long story short.
I managed to lock bootloader with a custom kernel by accident
So I couldn't unlock bootloader again because it wouldn't boot up to the system and any other solution wouldn't work because it required unlocked bootloader.
did fastboot continue and managed to boot into the system to enable unlock bootloader again from settings
fixed it.
Would be nice to have it in the main guide in a section: If you relocked bootloader with custom kernel...

I don't think anyone would relock after reading that, but my point is that if you are in a google play pixel or xl there is still an easy solution but hard to find out there.

If you managed to relock with a custom kernel for ex. you will be stuck in the bootloader since you can no longer do oem unlock (need to enable it from developer settings but your device won't boot ).
If this is your case you can just do fastboot continue to start the OS, enable dev settings and enable OEM unlock from there.

[Completed] Moto G 3rd Gen bricked or not bricked???

Hi,
My phone went into a boot loop.
I can access the fastboot menu but the device is locked, I obviously now cannot enter developer options to unlock it
When means I can't unlock the bootloader, and without unlocking the bootloader I can't reflash the device. Bit of a loop of death
Any suggestions or is it a door wedge?

Bricked Pixel 2 - locked bootloader & no access to developer options - please help

Bricked Pixel 2 - locked bootloader & no access to developer options - please help
Hello guys, I just bought myself a Pixel 2 device today and decided to have a go at some changes: I've unlocked my bootloader of my Pixel 2 to perform TWRP flashing & Magisk installation and afterwards I decided to revert to stock.
The first step that I did when trying to revert to stock was to relock the bootloader via adb because I thought (big mistake) this will also revert everything to the factory image. Problem is right now the device isn't booting anymore (so I cannot change anything in developer settings and the bootloader is locked).
Fastboot does work now (I get an "FA8271A02780 fastboot" message when typing fastboot devices) but I cannot flash anything (it always says FAILED: remote Flashing unlock is not allowed.
I tried the Deuces script and UAF but they don't work (because my bootloader is locked). Given that I cannot unlock it, is there any way of flashing the stock image on my device? Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Sadly I don't believe so. Google doesn't allow us to flash anything without bootloader being unlocked. Other OEMs either have a program or allow you flash signed roms with a locked bootloader. For the trouble iTunes is at least you flash firmware through in the event of a Brick

Black Shark CHINA (SKR-A0) - Unlock Bootloader

Hi everybody!
After the precious advice of user ndt192, I managed to unlock my SKR-A0 which, until this day, seemed un-unlockable.
THIS PROCEDURE WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE MEMORY SO REMEMBER TO BACKUP EVERYTHING
TL;DR
In developer options, OEM Unlocking must be ticked (if present), then I just issued a fastboot oem unlock while in fastboot mode.
I'm on the latest OTA (29-12-18, v. G66X1812291CN00MPX).
Full Tutorial
Enable developer options by tapping 7+ times on Settings -> About Phone -> Build Number
Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking (if present) in Developer Options (Settings -> Other Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Developer Options)
Open a terminal and issue the command adb devices
On the phone, allow the access from your computer on the dialog that will be shown
In terminal adb reboot bootloader
Wait for the phone to reboot in bootloader mode
STOP AND THINK - DID YOU BACKUP EVERYTHING?
Issue the command fastboot oem unlock and wait for the OKAY in the terminal window
Reboot your phone with fastboot reboot
Now, you will be informed that because of the unlocking your phone memory is "corrupted" (aka not decryptable anymore) so the phone needs to be wiped. Agree and wait.
Hopefully, your bootloader will be unlocked now. You can check that by returning to fastboot mode and checking that the Status is Unlocked.
If you want TWRP/root, check out this thread.
This procedure didn't seem to work until a few months ago so I don't know exactly if this procedure works only on newest Joy UI versions or not. Try it out (at your own risk).
IMPORTANT - if you can't unlock with these steps, please post here with the version of Joy UI installed and the message shown after the fastboot oem unlock command

unlocked bootloader and fingerprint

Good morning all.
I am currently looking to root a 5i realme.
I read somewhere that the unlock bootloader disables the fingerprint sensor.
what about ? are there other features that are disabled with the unlocked bootloader?
Thank you and good day.

It depends on how you unlock bootloader ..if you unlock using fastboot commands rather than in depth test ..then the fingerprint and lock screen might work
okay. thanks for the reply, I'll look to do it with fastboot commands.
Please Can you tell me if this method is the right one ?
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Thanks.

I want to root my Nokia 1.4

How can I root my Nokia 1.4 Android 11(Go edition)
Unlock bootloader and flash magisk. Since the device is new, I recon that you will need to wait a couple of months for a guide to pop up. Or you could try your hand with generic guides on web and risk it. Either you unlock and root your device or you hard brick it. Nothing a trip to the service won't fix.
I unlocked bootloader

Can you tell me how to unlock bootloader please on Nokia 1.4 and root the device so that I can install twrp on it. I'm not a pro in these stuff
Just… go to dev options and enabwl oem unlocking then download platform tools on pc, boot into bootloader, and do an unlock command. Just find a generic, no-Samsung guide.
