My phone is not rooted, but the bootloader is UNLOCKED. I'm sure.
I'm trying to install a custom recovery, but am getting this message:
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
1) Why?
2) Do I need to root my phone in order to install a custom recovery?
are you using adb commands to install custom recovery, if so no root is required.
Yes, I'm using adb, but my problem is I'm getting this "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)" error, which prevents me from installing the custom recovery.

I've followed all the guides to a T. and my SDK is able to run nicely. However, once I've made contact w/ my device in 'usb debugging mode', tested the connection w/ "adb devices" in command prompt, and set the device to bootloader w/ the "adb reboot bootloader" command, and finally I give it the command to "fastboot oem unlock", I get an unknown error!! Please help. I have all the path variables set, and my SDK is running good, and has all the newest updates.
This is a link to a video I made of the problem. Please watch. It'll help if you can see the problem! just copy and paste - youtube.com/watch?v=2bROUZh7GRI
Thanks for your responses. I hope they come quickly!

just copy and paste the command from the OP's instructions. I used the new Clockwork in the thread and just renamed it... which method are you using. I just did mine last Thursday with no issues. I used this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078019
HTML:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img
fastboot reboot
Make sure you have the latest fastboot.exe and if all else fails start from the beginning again. Now you are sure your fastboot is unlocked....

Did you try to do the fastboot unlock again
How did you manage to get unlock to work? Perhaps if you gave us more info on what you did?
I've been looking around at different forums to see how to get my phone back to normal and there many ways to do it and I'm stuck.I'm able to use clockwork recovery,able to use fastboot but SD card is mounted and has an error everytime I try unmount , been trying to use the command propmt not that experienced I need some guidance to how to get another rom on phone
Try to flash the stock recovery, relock the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" and flash a RUU.
Then try again from the beginning
Do I use the command propmt or Fastboot or clockwork

Open cmd prompt. Navigate to folder where your fastboot program is (i.e. c:\android is where I put mine).
Plug in phone, boot into bootloader and click power to access fastboot.
Type in the "fastboot OEM lock" command in command prompt as suggested by torxx and that will relock the bootloader. Then flash ruu in bootloader

Once u relock bootloader, you are done with command prompt... I think. I havemt done it on this phone, but usually you put ruu on root of sdcard (internal in this case) and reboot into bootloader and the ruu should begin flashing from there. Make sure its named properly. I'm sure there are threads regarding this

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

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]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Device not unlocked cannot boot)

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

On the attached photo you see my bootloader/fastboot screen . I am trying to re-flash to the original stock OS, and I keep getting the errors of ADB device not found. I have the proper device drivers, and adb installed, I don't know what is wrong.
If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
Just to be clear are you using adb or fastboot when trying to flash from that screen?

You need to have custom recovery to flash the SuperUser. Stock recovery you can't flash it.
