Bootloader relocked, no recovery or OS. Cant unlock bootloader. - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, i got my hands on what i was told hard bricked device. i have no idea what has happened to the device before. first thing i got my hands on it and it did boot to OPO logo. so no hard brick. more like soft brick. tried go to recovery but i cant. it wont go how much i try. booting in to fastboot gives only black screen but my pc will see it (qualcomm hs 6008 etc) where i am able to use oneplus recovery tool and install stock cm11s firmware to it. it goes thru and gives green but device wont boot BUT now i can get to fastboot mode. now it says fastboot mode instead of black screen. running fastboot oem device-info gives this result:
"(bootloader) Device tampered: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
This tells me its tampered but relocked. running fastboot oem unlock says OKAY but just reboots my phone (i thing it should go to recovery to unlock it but it does not) after rebooting i cannot get to fastboot mode anymore. just black screen again and i need to run recoverytool again and same results on device-info so it was not unlocked.
ill try to add as much info as i can:
because i cant even get to stock recovery i cant access adb.
Drivers are ok (win 10 test mode etc)
recovery tool does something but cant fix.
flashing anything via fastboot wont write because locked BL
tried toolkits but same errors as commands manually
tried many unbrick guides but no luck (CM or ColorOS)
took boot.img from cm someone suggested but because of that lock i cant flash or boot it at all.
hoping someone could help me. i see much topics about same problem but no solution anywhere...

Maybe this will help
Or after getting fastboot to work, format every partition and reflash COS.

actually tried that already but no luck. tried again now and no luck still. stuck on 1+ boot logo.
cant format partitions because its locked. (Device not unlocked cannot flash or erase)
restoring coloros or cm12 does not fix bootloop

Can't boot into recovery. any idea if this can be fixed?

I tried to root my Opo, but it started to go wrong after i flashed it. It went to reboot into TWRP, but all that happened was it crashed. the 1+ logo comes on and then the screen goes blank. This Happens all the time when I try a "fastboot oem unlock", factory reset, or a boot recovery.. the fastboot does work, but the device is also locked and i can't do a recovery due to this. I tried to do the root tutorial on youtube by C4ETech.. help please!
@nickizm, when you boot to fastboot and enter the command "fastboot devices", can you see your device listed on the screen?
Thanks for the reply.. The fastboot work fines apart from when I try to unlock the devices and it reboots into recovery, it crashes and doesn't unlock.. the rest of the phone works fine apart from the recovery... my bootloader is also locked and I can't unlock it due to crashing
(bootloader) Device tampered: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screem enabled: false
I can't be certain but I'm pretty sure I read a similar issue to this a few days ago that was caused by not having the latest fastboot software, the user resolved it by downloading the latest android sdk and trying again.
Worth a shot.
Hope it helps.

I had trouble when I first tried to root. Twrp wouldn't install. I ran some command which loaded it up but didn't install it on the phone, I was the able to root my phone.
Make sure you have latest oneplus one drivers. Have you tried using oneplus one toolkit to install recovery?

I've tried to install a recovery, but my device is locked. If i do a "fastboot oem unlock" is just crashes on me when it going into recovery. I also get the same crash when I do a factory data reset or if I reboot into recovery. I think it's definitely something to do with the recovery, but since my device is locked i'm not sure what to do?... cheers again

Did you try with the latest android sdk?
Powered by Bacon
I'm sure I did.. It wasn't that old.. I can try again, but the problem is I won't be able to unlock my phone??
is this the right link? http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=studio
New drivers, exactly the same
Have you tried using a toolkit to do the unlock for you? People usually advise against using toolkits to do it for you as it prevents you gaining the experience of doing it yourself, but since it's not working when doing it yourself I don't see any harm in trying a toolkit.
You can find several options at the bottom of @timmaaa's resources roll-up thread here

Yea i have also tried the tool kit V2
My problem is that the recovery is damaged in some way and my device is locked. i can't "fastboot oem unlock" as it just crashes when it goes to reboot.. is there a way to unlock my device with another method or can the recovery be repaired some how? i'm such noob

I think you might be out of luck, unless someone here more knowledgeable than I can help.
If you have a recovery image (not zip) you can try running the following command (make sure the img file is in the same directory as your adb/fastboot files and rename it "recovery");
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
What this allows you to do is boot into the TWRP recovery without having it installed on your phone, but I think I read somewhere that this command no longer works.
EDIT: If the above command will let you boot into TWRP, you'll want to read the guide here and flash the script.

One last effort, after a bit of reading I've seen a few people with your issue have resolved it by flashing ColorOS (Chinese Stock ROM) and then going back to a custom rom once everything is fixed.

can you give a little detail about
"device is also locked and i can't do a recovery due to this"
you did fastboot oem unlock. so saved data is wiped. but you should be able to boot into android system,
if so, enable "developer options" by clicking "settings" --> "about phone" --> "Build Number" click it 7 times,
then go into settings developer options and enable USB debugging.
then, use not fastboot, but adb to boot into recovery.
adb reboot recovery

there you can got into recovery.

That doesn't work as my device crashes when it goes into recovery..
eg: "fastboot oem unlock", factory reset, or a boot recovery all crash as my recovery isn't working. When my device goes to reboot in recovery the 1+ logo comes up, fades out to like a blueish from the white 1+ logo and crashes.. so basically it's looked and I can't get into recovery.. thanks for trying

LG GPAD 7 stuck on Fast Boot

Purchased an Lg Gpad 7 Wifi tablet (v400) 2 weeks ago. Came with preinstalled Lollipop android so i couldnt install a recovery rom to flash any other custom roms. Downgraded to Kitkat version following the instructions on Xda forums and succesfully installed Twrp. When i installed Cyanogenmod 12.1 through Twrp i got stuck in fastboot screen.
Any suggestions and / or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
I had a similar problem.. Only mine was stuck at the bootloader. Go in TWRP and repair /data and other partitions. My data partition gave me an error since F2FS is a little flaky and some ROMs corrupted it (claimed they supported it). I would recommend erasing the system, cache and data partition if you can't get into TWRP.
The problem is i cant get out of fastboot whatever i try. It says start on bootloader but the tablet just restarts on an empty screen doing nothing.

if you have an sd card, try removing that, then reboot.
if that doesnt work, try entering fastboot command, fastboot continue
Tried without sdcard and i get the same fastboot screen.
How can i give any commands? The only options i have are Restart Bootloader / Restart / Power off. Tried restarting bootloader but i get nothing in return tablet just stays on with nothing on screen.

you said it was stuck on fastboot, if thats the case, install any needed drivers on your pc, connect device to it, open a terminal in the fastboot dir (after you go get fastboot), then try those commands i gave. you could also try, fastboot reboot dont think i mentioned that before.

Did as you said but every command i gave gives me an error message in adb terminal. There are new lines in fastboot menu in tablet now. Bottom two are SECURE BOOT - enabled & LOCK STATE - locked.

hmm, ok, im guessing it would have said that normally, when not broken. all the command does is try to release it past where its stuck. it doesnt actually flash, lock, unlock, or change anything.
imo, this seems good, because now we know fastboot is working.
i own lg devices, but not your specific device. i would hate to give you some bad advice and make your tablet broken more, but if it were me in this situation, i would try to flash the factory KK firmware you used to downgrade with odin or however you did it. hopefully, that will clean everything up and let it boot properly.
if for whatever reason you cant do that, we could try extracting the factory file, and just flashing recovery and system, those should be the only things that got changed putting on twrp and cm normally.
Sorry, I have the serious proplem wtih my LG pad V400, I rooted it and using <LG Flash Tool 2014> with <V40010c_00.kdz> to downgrate the firmware but their is error then my LG pad stuck in fastboot menu as with just turn off, restart and restart bootloader. if i seclect one one them the tablet just logged again the fastboot menu
it stuck on the fastboot menu and i cannot do nay think with it. I can restart with factory restore mode but when select yes to restore, it will restart and log in fastboot menu again.
I downloaded adb and fastboot program and put in one folder <Minimal ADB and Fastboot> in C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
I dont have recovery image so i download file <cm-13.0-20160421-NIGHTLY-v400-recovery.img> form your link to download TWRP file
move it to folder of fastboot programe and changed its name to <recovery.img>
I turn on the tablet and it waited at fastboot menu
when i run the command <fasboot flash recovery recovery.img> and they said some thing wrong like in picture
please help me

Shield tablet wont boot beyond fastboot menu :'(

I hope you guys can help me, i have been wandering around blogs forums to find a fix to this issue but to no avail. I got my replacement tablet about a few month ago. I decide to keep the old one and install custom rom on it. The old one is still usable now, but the replacement tablet is dead to me. One day i restart the repl tablet and it just stucked at the fastboot menu. When i choose to go into recovery mode. Nothing happened except a blink of message said that cold linux booting failed. So i try to unlock bootloader to flash it using adb command. Now it wont let me unlock boot loader giving me an error same as the guy here ( i cant paste an outside link here, google : Shield Tablet (LTE) won't boot beyond fastboot, fastboot OEM)
Ps : sorry for bad english im from Malaysia and also im tech newbie
flash the official firmware, you shouldn't need the the bootloader unlocked to flash a signed nvidia package.
this should replace your recovery and system and get you up and running again.
if not, perhaps your NAND is corrupted or damaged.

Need help..Soft bricked.. Bootloop..unable to unlock

Hi,
My OnePlus one suddenly goes into bootloop.
I was on stock COS. I was not enabled USB debuggung so adb not recognizing device. Phone was never unlocked as well.
I'm able to go into cynogen recovery but when I tried to clear cache or factory reset, I'm getting unable to erase partition error.
I'm able to go into fastboot but unable to unlock, as soon as I gave fastboot oem unlock command, device reboots into recovery. I'm unable to flash anything as device is locked.
I tried to sideload cynogen factory firmware but it results in same error of unable to erase partition. Fastboot erase system also giving same error.
I found somewhere that the following command will work in TWRP. But I don't have TWRP recovery and I'm unable to flash it because device is locked.
Unable to use adb shell command as well because adb not detecting my device because I was not enabled USB debuggung.
make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p15
Can anyone help me, my device is dead from 2 weeks with this.

It'll work for soft bricked devices as well.Since you're not able to unlock bootloader,fastboot is pretty much useless atm.

Unless it was taken from another phone sold off as parts, you can't buy the logic board on its own. The same applies for most smartphones out there.
In short,sell parts of your one,and buy a new device.

Hello
I bought a Huawei x2 and brought a Chinese rom that gave me many problems.
I tried to ask him for updates using the "dload" method but he gave me an error.
The fact is that I formatted it from Flashtool thinking that I had the bootloader open.
After trying everything, he discovered that the bootloader is closed, but now the phone does not boot because I think I have flashed the entire system.
Flash a recovery, it makes me ok but then it does not pass Huawei's logo.
I guess without opening the bootloader it will be impossible to fix it.
I can access the Fastboot mode but I do not know what to do.
I also tried to flash img from the Huawei Extractor, which had previously worked on another X2 that I had brickered.
I guess without the open bootloader it's impossible to do anything.
I need your help. Thank you

Flash this boot.img in fastboot which should still work. This boot.img is from B212 but should work on any B2xx rom. I'm not sure how else to help you when I don't know much about your device.

Thanks ,but now I dont have access to fastboot mode
You have to use a usb cable and connect your phone to your PC first.
Then press volume down first + power to boot into Fastboot.
I know how use fastboot but now phone cant enter in fastboot..
Boot from B212 dont work

I don't know how else to help you. If you want to ship me your device Ill get it working for you and ship it back. You should always be able to get into the bootloader to run fastboot commands.
Now I can enter in fastboot.
I tried ALL but dont works.
