Cant seem to get into fastboot mode OR recovery mode with H3223 via key combos or ADB
Following the xa2 ultra unlock guide https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader, Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status returns bootloader unlock allowed: Yes
EDIT: I found out how to get fastboot working, nothing special had to be done, it was just driver issues on my part. It seems as if there is no GUI for fastboot or recovery.

Have you unlocked bootloader if not fastboot will not work.
Try is this what I use for adb.

Can you please be more specific on how you fixed the "GUI for fastboot or recovery" issue?

I am in the process of rooting my phone and have already unlocked the phone but for some reason I am unable to boot into the bootloader. I have a MT7-CL00 and I have tried pressing the buttons on the phone, but every time I go into the normal boot mode.
I have USB debugging activated and I am able to connect with ADB / Fastboot and when I type ADB devices my device is shown as active.
When I type fastboot reboot I just get a message < waiting for any device >
Have I some now turned off the bootloader booting method on my phone?
Is there an alternate way to trigger the phone to boot into the bootloader?
Thanks!
Type adb reboot bootloader
Then fastboot devices, if it detects run further desired fasboot commands.

Hello, I have problem with my softbricked Nexus 5.
phone is full stock
bootloader is locked
USB debugging is not enabled
Android 6.0.1
all buttons are working
USB socket is fine
Factory reset from recovery mode is not working - still bootlooping
My purpose is to bring it to live, but I am stuck. Due to locked bootloader I have to use LG Flash Tool. Some time ago I used it with my other Nexus 5 and it was fine - worked excellent. Now I want to do it again with other phone but I am stuck on start: Can't enter download mode (volume up+usb cable). When I am trying to enter to download mode,charging battery icon appears and after few seconds my phone is being recognized as MTP USB device in device manager. I thought it is a problem with the phone, but tried with another working Nexus and there is no difference - it looks like problem with phone-pc connection to me. I tried few cables (original samsung and nokia) and two pc's - no difference. Tried all USB ports etc. Clean reinstall (with registry keys delete) doesn't help, updated version 4.2 neither. Do you have any ideas how to fix it?
Download mode? Never heard of that on the Nexus 5. There is a fastboot mode for flashing stock ROMs and to unlock the bootloader.
I recommend unlocking the bootloader and using NRT to flash a stock ROM.

I have NRT but problem is that to unlock bootloader I have to enable USB debugging - I can't do it with bootlooping phone.
Bootloader can be unlocked without enabling debugging as you are not running adb commands, you need to run fastboot commands.

Thanks! Can I do it with NRT also?
Easiest way to unlock the bootloader on a windows machine is to do this:
make sure that the necessary fast boot drivers are installed;
boot phone into fast boot mode by holding down volume up, volume down, and power;
connect the phone to the computer;
type "fastboot oem unlock" without the quotation marks and press enter key.
Unlocking will wipe the phone.
Once unlocked, you can flash a stock ROM using fastboot commands.

Ok I did it. Do I have to proceed "fastboot reboot" command? when I am doing it it reboots and still bootlooping. When I enter bootloader it is locked again
If the bootloader relocks itself when the phone is rebooted, the memory chip is damaged and will need a motherboard replacement.
My cousin has an xperia z3 dual d6633 we wanted to root it so what we did was :
1- we unlocked the bootloader using sony's official guide that was a success
2-we flashed twrp using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
That appeared to be a success but we failed to boot to recovery i tried everything to boot to recovery from pressing power buttons with each volume buttons or both to even using
Code:
adb reboot recovery
and even that didnt work it always booted to android
3- when that didnt work one guide on the internet said to boot directly from the twrp image i had on the pc using
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
and thats where things went south it still booted into android but this time it was stuck in a bootloop it would boot into the screen thats right after the sony logo (the one that looks like the ps4 booting screen) and it would keep doing the animation non-stopping
4-we tried using xperia companion to fix it but it always said bootloader was unlocked
5-we tried relocking the bootloader using both
Code:
fastboot oem lock
and
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0fce oem lock 0x<unlock key>
mimicking the unlock bootloader command from sony's website but the lock bootloader keeps going on forever nothing happening until we take out the usb cable then it says failed
now i have two questions
1-can this be a hardware problem? Basically can the steps i made damage hardware?
2- is there a way to either relock the bootloader to fix it using companion app or fix it using any other program at all?
Thank you for answering
Hey guys,
I think I found a way to unlock the bootloader on the Nokia 5.1 Plus. I didn't do it yet, but can someone please try it and see if it works?
Instructions:
1. Boot into recovery. I made a guide on how to do that in case you don't know how. Here's the link:https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-x5/how-to/guide-how-to-access-recovery-global-t4054561
2. Select reboot to bootloader.
3. Run fastboot oem unlock from adb terminal and see if anything happens.
PS. Running adb reboot fastboot from pc doesn't work-the phone just restarts-but rebooting to bootloader option from recovery actually gets it to fastboot mode.
If it works please tell me in a reply.

Hey don't post guides for other if you don't know what it means, You will get other people phones bricked.
FYI Nokia phones requires permission to unlock bootloader.
adb oem unlock doesn't work now a days for most of the phones as you know many companies has made rooting and changing roms difficult. (excluding OnePlus and Pixel).

For me it gave an error (FAILED (remote: unknown command)), where
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
gave me an error on the device asking me if I wanted to unlock flashing or to cancel. I don't know if this helps anyone anything but it seems to have worked because if I run
Code:
fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability
I get the message (bootloader) unlock_ability = 1

Only I have a small problem I don't unlock my bootloader via fastboot when it doesn't work :/ It immediately jumps to my system when I boot fastboot, even with a command like ,,adb reboot fastboot"

I don't know if you are still interested in accessing Fastboot but you can access it using a specific firmware version.
Still, let me tell you that unlocking the bootloader is virtually impossible. Since the well-known generic method doesn't work for the SoC SC9863A, you need to have a special Fastboot's program version and a dedicated private key that only they provide.... and I emphasize the word "dedicated" since apparently ZTE did not use a generic key to sign their ROMS. At least on this device.
Unless they decide to release the key or give support to unlocking the bootloader, all we can do is wait for them to change their minds. Because they don't want to provide it. I know because I tried to order it several times.
