Sadly I was a liite bit to fast with the BL unlock. I can't relock it by adb, but I've have to. Any idea ?
Thank you in advance.

Well, first you'll need to explain how you unlocked the bootloader on a snapdragon S8+?
It's done by the crom_service tool by jesse chan

I never heard of it. FWIW, with a device that has an unlockable bootloader, one would use FASTBOOT, not ADB. Command is:
Fastboot OEM lock
With that said, I haven't a clue if this will work on your device.

The g9500 (the snapdragon s8 family in Hong Kong/china) is unlockable using the crom service/KIWIBIRD in steady thing.
Unfortunately I have no idea what is involved. Why do you want to relock? Did you flash something already? FYI if you are 0x1 WARRANTY_VOID you cant undo that part
My problem is, that Samsung Health is detecting " rooted device"

Hi i was just wondering if the G FLEX 2 bootloader can be unlocked via fastboot cmd if the
"Enable OEM unlock" option is ticked in the dev options thnx
I'm pretty sure if this was the case the device would have been unlocked a long time ago lol.
That option has no effect on the bootloader, mostly because we don't have fastboot commands on this phone. It has been tried before.

I've just purchased the phone and the massive amount of bloatware, lack of adaway and the useless bixby button instantly made me want to root. However I have a couple of issues.
First off, I don't even know if my bootloader is unlocked. I tried the phone dial technique and the fastboot technique and both of them did nothing. I also tried looking in the devs option for a "oem unlock" option, but it appears to be missing from my device. So, how do I check if my bootloader is unlocked?
Second off, I have the snapdragon variant, which means no twrp for me for now. However I did see that cf-auto-root supports my device, so that's some good news. I haven't been in touch with the android community for quite a while now, but I did see that a better (apparently), open-source alternative exist to supersu : Magisk (I'm particularly interested in the "hide root" feature). Can I install Magisk even after rooting with cf_auto_root (which installs supersu iirc)?
Thank you for your time.
Sorry, but cf-auto-root does not support the Snapdragon variant sadly.

I may be wrong, but I think it is supported.
It requires an unlocked bootloader or a phone capable of accepting fastboot oem unlock / fastboot flashing unlock. I wish I were wrong, trust me..
Oh that's too bad. How do I know if my bootloader is unlocked though?
I would do a little reading here as this has been discussed numerous times. Unfortunately, you need an unlocked bootloader to use any of the root tools out there. All of these sites have a disclaimer noted regarding not working with a locked bootloader. So sit back and grab a beer...may be a while until we see root...if at all.
If you have a snapdragon...its locked.
Hey guys thanks for the thread.
I'm in the same boat here, Snapdragon version Galaxy S8 in Canada. If anybody knows or hears anything about a way to unlock the bootloader in the future so we can get all this Samsung garbage off our phones that wouldn't be amazing.
Thanks guys

That was the command to unlock the bootloader, to see if it's unlocked you can try this:
Step 1 : Open your device’s dialer (App where you enter telephone numbers to call someone).
Step 2 : Dial the below code, it will automatically open a new windows. (if it doesn’t opens anything then use the second method).
1. *#*#7378423#*#*
Step 3 : Now in that window go to Service Info >> Configuration, and see if there is :
1. Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes >> This means that your Bootloader is Locked
2. Bootloader Unlocked - Yes >> This means that your Bootloader is unlocked
If this doesn't work you can try this:
Step 1 : Download and install adb & fastboot package & drivers in your system (Google it for your device).
Step 2 : After successful installation of adb & fastboot, connect your device to your PC via USB cable in fastboot mode.
Step 3 : Now open the folder where your adb & fastboot package is extracted, press Shift key on your keyboard and right click in the folder and select “Open command prompt here“.
Step 4 : It will open a Command Prompt window.
Step 5 : Type the following command to check if the device was detected in fastboot mode.
fastboot devices
Step 6 : if you don’t get device it or anything it means that the drivers weren’t correctly installed or the device wasn’t connected properly, if this happens try reinstalling your drivers.
Step 7 : Next run the following command to check the status of your device’s bootloader.

I lock bootloader on Verizon Google Pixel when my device have TWRP and i have brick! Device Loading up to logo Google on 1 sec and reboot. Fastboot work, but i don't unlock bootloader. In recovery is don't enter. Please help me!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/how-to/psa-read-relocking-bootloader-t3494614 ....very important advice. With my limited knowledge NEVER relock unless you have signed OEM images correctly reloaded into device before locking.

Put the phone in fastboot mode, then run `fastboot flashing unlock` from a PC. If it says unlocking not allowed, you're out of luck, it's a brick now. Never lock your phone without being 100% stock on both slots

No idea. I've never relocked unless I am completely stock and take at least one ota first to make sure, along with full factory resets before and after updating.
There are others here that claim they where able to unlock again and save their phones though so maybe it's possible.

In this topic https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...bootloader-t3540772/post77016940#post77016940 man has unbrick Pixel XL, but i think that method will work on Pixel.
Does anyone know the command to relock bootloader? I flashed the raw firmware but every command I tried to relock failed. I need to make a warranty claim but can't until the bootloader is relocked.
Commands I have tried but failed:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem asus-csc_lk ( taken from ROG Phone 2 forums)
Code:
fastboot oem asus-back
fastboot reboot (if it doesn't reboot on it's own)
Thank you! Worked perfectly. You rock!

Nice to hear it
Just remember you won't get FOTAs anymore because Asus is blacklisting unlocked phone's IMEI.
I wonder if there's a way to fake-send the IMEI to Asus when doing the unlocking process.
I don't know how exactly the bootloader is being unlocked but something tells me the unlock code is generated with the use of IMEI/SN. Wrong phone IDs = wrong key, however this is only my speculation.
I did the above command and now it says the deivce is corrupt and can't be trusted and will not boot. No press start to continue message. Can you please help me or guide me to unbrick this phone? Thank you.
P.S. I guess following the guide-unbricking-zs630kl can help? Thank you.
Edit: Nevermind. Followed that guide and unbricked it myself.

After you unbricked the phone, was the bootloader re-locked? Also, were you able to successfully file a warranty claim or return the phone? tnx

He has bricked it while locking the bootloader, so yeah, it will be locked. Warranty will depend on where you live. If you'll have faulty motherboard, they'll probably replace it for free but technically this is mandatory action only in the EU because just unlocking can't be considered as warranty void. Of course until they prove you that you bricked it.
Hello,
I couldn't unlock the bootloader as the OEM unlocking's disabled and i can't access system! Everything's erased!
Any help????
A bit more info might be helpful mate.
What did you do to arrive at the situation you are in?
Can your pc see your device via ADB and if so what are you using: latest platform tools or toolkit?
Can you boot to stock recovery or bootloader?
Without any of the above info its going to be extremely difficult for anyone to give any kind of answer.

The device isn't recognized via ADB.
I can boot to Bootloader
The phone was working fine with the latest google stock android 10, i decided to lock the bootloader cuz the phone was getting overheated so i thought it'd be a good idea to lock the bootloader. Prior to do that, it asked me to erase everything! I erased everything and when i tried to reinstall the stock image it asked me to unlock the bootloader!!
The problem is that USB debugging isn't enabled and the phone is empty with no system!

Ouch! That's a right old situation you have there mate, with no OS installed a locked bootloader and no ADB function I'd have to say your phone is non recoverable!
Sorry mate but I can't see anyway out of that lot.
Maybe someone else a bit more knowledgeable might chip in but I'm deffo out of ideas.

Try switching slots, assuming the pixel is an A/B device. Maybe you still have a bootable system in your other slot and I don't think you need an unlocked bootloader to switch slots

Make sure you have the latest fastboot. On the bootloader your phone will either say "slot a" or "slot b" and you should type "fastboot --set-active=b" if you are on slot a or "fastboot --set-active=a" if you are on slot b
still didn't fix the problem... any probable solutions please?
