Hi, I'm trying to unlock my Archos Diamond Plus's bootloader, but I can't, it just gives me the error:
(bootloader) Start unlock flow
FAILED (remote:
Unlock operation is not allowed
)
finished. total time: 4.957s
When I'm done with this, I was planning to port CWM (or any custom recovery) to Archos Diamond Plus. But all the guides I can find are a little hard cause some of the files they say I need to change don't exists etc.
Could you please help me ?

It says it's unlockable, but fails.
Code:
platform-tools_r29.0.0-windows\platform-tools>fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability
(bootloader) get_unlock_ability: 1
OKAY [ 0.003s]
Finished. Total time: 0.009s
So then:
Code:
platform-tools_r29.0.0-windows\platform-tools>fastboot flashing unlock
FAILED (remote: 'Flashing Unlock is not allowed
')
fastboot: error: Command failed
platform-tools_r29.0.0-windows\platform-tools>fastboot flashing unlock_critical
FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
If I factory reset, then oem unlock is allowed, but when I simply reboot to the bootloader, and start the phone after, it is greyed out. I feel like I am getting a false positive, except for the command above literally says it should be unlockable. fastboot oem unlock also does not work. I am skipping all options during setup and using Wifi as well only.
Any ideas?
There's already a thread about it. More than likely your rma is a Verizon phone and they can't be unlocked. Search and you shall find
I highly suspect Verizon model. A quick way to solve this is contact Google Pixel Support and give them the IMEI of the phone and ask for them to confirm if it is the VZW or Google Edition. I've done this a couple times to find a used Google Edition phones cause I've had a few duds. Phone support is the quickest, chat support has protocol that might make it hard for them to disclose that information.

Disclaimer : I don't know Nokia fixed this or not and will this work for you guys but it worked for me and i want the developers to provide mass support for our Nokia 8.1 coz this is highly capable devices made stupid by HMD and fed up of lack of support by nokia
IMPORTANT: Do not verify your device on hmd unlocker app or it won't work for sure
step 1: go to website https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_int/bootloader sign in via Google(i did but don't think so it matters)
Step 2: Fill in required details asked and proceed directly on website and the website alone...do not verify ur imei on the nokia bootloader unlock app or this will not work 100%
Step 3: Agree all the terms and validate...u will get the unlock key from hmd global on email by which u signed in on Step 1
I am attaching the pics of the key i got...also it says it is the key for Nokia 8 but that's typo I guess but I assure u it works coz I unlocked my device also I relocked the bootloader and all the widevine works perfect after relocking the bootloader so no worries if you want to go back to stock also
I REQUEST ALL THE DEVELOPERS IF THIS WORKS FOR U GUYS PLEASE PLEASE SHOW CUSTOM ROMS AND RECOVERY SUPPORT FOR OUR NOKIA 8.1
THANKS IN ADVANCE
Is there any advice that ROM cannot be upgraded ? My condition is : I followed your steps to do but I couldn't flash unlock key. I returned system and found the "OEM unlock" cannot be enabled. That's why I cannot flash my unlock key.

Maybe its a possibility but low...although just found out yesterday that it depends on which production batch ur phone is made in....Nokia 8.1 manufactured in old batches have unlockable bootloader coz there imei is properly written
So its upon luck....which batch ur phone belongs to

Hmmm, looks like site isn't working anymore.
I check the checkbox, but the log in to continue button stays greyed out, tried 3 different browsers.
Sadly, Looks like I have to pay for unlock. Am looking in lineageos development for this device. Too much free time after loosing job

Hi! Does anyone know how to lock the bootloader?
Previously, I experimented with installing GSI (PixelExperience, Havok OS, etc.). But as it turned out, the original system is much more stable than the GSI (although I may not have found the correct GSI
I want to return the phone to the state it was before unlocking the bootloader. That is, now I have the bootloader in the "unlocked" state. And I want it to be "blocked". Thus, the phone will be almost in its original form.
Hello all, my first post in the OP8 community. I have a Verizon OP8 and I'm not able to unlock the bootloader. ADB seems to work fine and my device is recognized in fastboot. It gives me this error:
Code:
...
FAILED (remote: Flashing Unlock is not allowed
)
finished. total time: 0.002s
I've tried googling for answers, but everything is years old and seems irrelevant or just doesn't work.
I'm not sure if this helps, but "fastboot oem device-info" returns:
Code:
...
(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: true
OKAY [ 0.004s]
finished. total time: 0.005s
Any recommendations? I can't understand what I'm doing wrong.
Perhaps the answer is in here:
OnePlus8 VZW Bootloader is Not Unlockable
Has anyone seen any difference in the bootloader, unlocking, rootability on the Verizon Version of the OnePlus 8. Anything in coding that speaks to a lock out from Big Red? I heard about sign up and IMEI issues with the direct OnePlus buys...

This can be handy for your Verizon OP8: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4191723/
Also maybe some insight on how to bootloader unlock and root your phone: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-android-11-how-to-root-t-mobile-op8-5g.4228303/
TIP: Go into Settings>Wifi&Network>SIM&Network:> Network Unlock. This should get your phone unlocked which is the first step. I have Tmobile OP8 but I think it's the same UI across all OP8s.
So ive been trying to get my OP 8t Tmobile variant bootloader unlocked, sim unlocked it , requested the unlock token from one plus , finally got it, been trying to flash the token but i keep getting a error, any help would really appreciate it a lot.

hey, im on this exact thing. ive got the sim unlocked, but i need to get the unlock token. can you tell me how to request it from one plus? and did you get your bootloader unlocked?
Oneplus's website is screwed up and you can't download the token (it's corrupt) currently.
Use my msm conversion to unlock bootloader w/o token
Did you ever get your oneplus 8t unlocked? If not, I was going to suggest the msm tool to convert it to a EU version. I'll edit this post with a link. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4180981/
I've hardricked my oneplus 8t li ten times because I'm learning on my own. But I bring that sucker back every time. There are different msm tools, but ALL OF THEM that I've tried have worked every time. The only difference is what they convert it to. You can either "adb reoot edl" from home screen with adb enabled in the developers options or you can turn the phone off, let it sit for a minute, start the msm tool, then hold both volume buttons down for a few seconds and plug the phone into the usb while still pressing the volume buttons. The screen stays black, but you can see activity on the msm tool dashbord. I'm about to use it now, since my phone is currently hard bricked...lol. I've flashed shape shift os, lineage, icecold os, and some others. I have screenshots of all of them. Like shape shift, because it has a grip of hidden stuff on it, like easter eggs. It's hilarious. Just let me know if you need help.
Hello, i read many post under this case, but i try to understand the reason why it's not working on Nokia 6.1 (2018).
Mine is a refurbished smartphone but i don't think it is the reason.
When i try to push the button oem unlock, it stay greyed and for sure the fastbook command doesn't answer other things that below ...
C:\adb-fastboot\platform-tools>fastboot oem device-info
(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: true
OKAY [ 0.016s]
Finished. Total time: 0.016s
Impossible to flash unlock or oem unlock.
Why flags can't be changed by other values ?.
What append witn Nokia 6.1 TA-1043, it's locked by HMD directly.
Any other solution than paid solution ?.
Thanks for your answers.
