Itried unlocking, But after entering the unlock code, i got this error:
(bootloader) Failed to erase partition
(bootloader) General Unlock failure!
(bootloader) OEM unlock failure!
FAILED (remote failure)
After that my screen went blank and i unplugged my device. On boot up it did show that the bootloader is unlocked. Also my phone was formatted as it was supposed to be.
In fastboot menu also it does show : "Device status: unlocked"
What does all of those failed messages mean then?
I Flash TWRP & CM 12 earlier everything works well...but one day I back to stock ROM which also locked the bootloader. Then I try to unlock the bootloader with earlier unlock code but it giving error like
(bootloader) Failed to erase partition
(bootloader) General unlock failure!
(bootloader) OEM unlock failure
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 10.212s
I try to relock bootloader.
reboot to download mode and type "fastboot oem lock"
C:\HTC>fastboot oem lock
...
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X00, disable unlock
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] oem unlock Turn Off!
OKAY [ 0.013s]

htc_fastboot finished. total time: 0.432s
but reboot my phone,
It still unlock,
Any help ?
same error
Try "fastboot oem relock"
Why are you relocking Bootloader? It will say Relocked(same as Unlocked) when sending for repair
Hi,
You must use "htc_fastboot oem lock" to do so.
But, warning i did so and my phone was unable to boot. I had to return back to stock by using RUU mode..... :-\
Regards.

So, what should i do to relock the bootloader and make the warning message (of unlocked bootloader) disappear?
- Restore stock recovery
- htc_fastboot oem lock
- Restore using RUU mode
Is that correct?

Safest way would be to RUN A RUU BEFORE LOCK (to ensure complete stock FW).....
Make backup of any data FIRST
Run RUU
Set up phone and ENABLE OEM UNLOCK
fastboot oem lock command
profit

Does the red bits not mean it wants you to DISABLE the oem unlocking switch (uncheck the box)?.

In my case, i was root with Magisk and stock recovery (U11 can temp-boot to custom recovery see txt), tried to unroot whith the uninstaller.zip => here starts my problem : unable to boot to Android, only bootloader and download mode.
No way for me to relock the bootloader => no acces to the developper menu to switch oem unlock on.
So the only solution to save it was runninrg my U11 to RUU Mode and restore it, following this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/how-to/guide-htc-u11-how-to-return-to-stock-t3628452
Got it with success, after that i could switch on oem unlock and HTC_fastboot oem lock my bootloader. (with mention ***RELOCKED ***)
I perfectly receided and install lastest official OTA from HTC : 1.27.405.5
I recommended to
- backup all your data.
- restore whith RUU method (This will flash recovery, boot and system to stock).
- Relock bootloader.
- And have fun with the best smartphone ever made !!!

I shouldn't need to unlock bootloader in order to flash stock rom
go to developer options and check the option - enable oem unlock.then reboot and run the command.
Also how can your phone be bricked with a locked bootloader?It does not make sense .YOu cannot flash ROms on a locked bootloader and if your phone is bricked then that means your bootloader has to be unlocked!!!
Hello,
So I have been using my Shield Tablet just fine for the past few years but now its locked on the Nvidia logo when it boots up, I've tried going into recovery mode to factory reset but then it just hangs on "No Command" I noticed that the bootloader is locked so I got ABD and fastboot. Once I setup the tablet to register in fastboot devices, I then use 'fastboot oem unlock' like it says to from the Nvidia support forums, but it fails and gives this command. Can anyone help me out to figure out what is wrong?
