Thanks for your enthusiasm but my method does not Unlock the bootloader so you should change your thread title.
As I told you I will open a thread when the method is fully tested by a few advanced user's who are testing it now and you will be given full credit for all your help.
I do not want to risk anyone bricking their phones due to rushing. Many none advanced users bricked their sony c4 phones by Not following my instructions so I need this to be 100% clear and fully tested I hope you understand.
I understand you @bigrammy by flashing twrp bootloader will automatically unlocked !

If the bootloader was unlocked fully you would be able to use fastboot to flash the device but we cannot so the bootloader is still locked to all intense purposes.
The secure boot chain does appear to be broken so we can use SPFlashTool to flash and boot our TWRP recovery but the secure boot chain may still be working if you have never unlocked the bootloader before like on Android 7.x. This means TWRP may Not boot up for everyone. Like I said it needs to be fully tested.

Actually, spflashtool bypasses the bootloader in this instance, so the bootloader is untouched and you still flash twrp

Not to be pessimistic, but you do realise that even with all your precautions,people will still not read properly and will still brick their phones, no matter how many precautions you take. Even if you had an app that requires you to click one button to do everything,there are still people who will do it wrong. That said I think I know of one or 2 people in this Nokia 3 forum who were able to recover their phones using spflashtool AFTER the phone couldn't even be detected by their pc, even OST flashing was not possible .
Another thing is, all the Nokia 3 is last year's phone, I wonder how many experienced users will be buying the phone now, and experienced people are probably not the best way to get something 100% tested, because they know the right steps to take.
I think you should make your method public after you hear from SkaboXD

Sorry I replied to your PM before seeing this.
True there is no accounting for people but I don't want to get bogged down by noob's. If you and maybe SkaboXD would like to open a thread and manage it using the method then that would be fine by me as long as credit is give to Riadh300 the original tester and who informed me SPFlashTool still worked and myself of course.
Please read my PM about the bootloader condition as I recommend only previously unlocked devices try this for now until tested by Advanced user able to recover the device should anything go wrong (EFuse Blown).

Alright I understand your point now. One thing I wonder though is: would someone on nougat who has never unlocked bootloader be able to flash ost?
Just checked my phone, oem unlocking was set to off so you're right, your method doesn't actually affect the bootloader.
I actually don't mind posting your method and giving you guys the credit, I just thought that you would want to be the one to do so.
Anyway I'll wait to hear @SkaboXD thoughts before I decide on whether to put up the post

Before on 7.0 I flashed a TWRP I was working on via SPFlashTool bootloader locked and ended up in a never ending recovery bootloop which none advanced users may find difficult to get out of now this may of been because I screwed up the TWRP or more likely because the bootloader was Locked.
I did not try any other TWRP's until I was bootloader Unlocked and I have not had the recovery bootloop since.
Not sure about OST as SPFlashTool is by far the best tool for MediaTek devices and recovery of said devices remember the SoC manufacturer knows best and I only ever see problems when the OEM's try to move away from it like Sony did.
Happy for you to take the lead I am too busy in other threads to worry about it

I will lock bootloader and try this method of rooting. I think that is this the best method because it doesn't affect bootloader so you can have OTA updates. Just what is the root manager, SuperSU or Magisk?
I think that we could make a thread when this mehod is tested on both Nougat and Oreo with locked bootloader. As far as i read, Oreo is tested so only Nougat remains to test.

OK, one thing though, before flashing the recovery you might want to do a backup of the stock recovery if you don't already have one. That's what I did, so after I got root, flashed back my stock recovery. Magisk is the root manager ,

oh you mean you went through hoops to get your phone back? I thought you would say you got a stock recovery somewhere and flashed using spflashtool or used the ost method. I didn't actually expect you to outline the steps you used. BTW, first time I flashed twrp AFTER unlocking bootloader, I got stuck in a recovery bootloop too. I had to flash my phone with OST then retry the process again.
One other thing, I think OST is actually a propriety software that is supposed to work for lots of phones, at least I know that users of other non mediatek Nokia phones also use it to recover their phones (with the corresponding stock images of course)

Magisk hide allows you get OTA's see the Magisk thread and yes it will work on any android version.
@redweaver
I am glad you got out of the loop but your clearly a more advanced user hence why I ask you to test. :good:
The OST is very convoluted for use on MediaTek devices and is very unnecessary it also requires unnecessary FIH software to be installed on the phone to work properly.
They likely choose this method to work across different SoC's but it's not what MediaTek use SPFlashTool is MediaTeks own software.
EDIT: Sorry lost internet for a while then.
I continue: Good news is I do not think they will be able to remove SPFlashTool use as it's binary on device which lives on a none volatile area ram chip or radio chip and is loaded at the factory so I doubt it can be updated via a OTA. :fingers-crossed:
Sony actually replaced this and this is the only device I have been unable to recover and even Sony were replacing the boards of bricked devices but if they had left the Mediatek binary in there it would not of been a issue as SPFlashTool would of been able to recover them. :good:
guys, old thread, i know, different device, i know, but ive been in the dark and this is what most resembles my issue.
any hints would be appreciated, read all 2 pages, can you believe it? im a very average xda enthusiast.
worries out of the way, my sincere thanks beforehand follow.
issue
carrier doesnt get in the way
oem doesnt get in the way
oem unlock toggle, check, adb debugging, you and i know the drill, no driver/cable issues
cannot for the life of me unlock bootloader, this one would take the newer command, however i tried them all ive come accross to no avail
output encourages me to unlock first, howwever not a clue is given as to how to accomplish it. this isnt the flash a file type of unlocking, either, at least not oem provided. going nuts.
go ahead and feel free to issue "advanced" directions (meaning, like your voicemail, instead of "for voicemail configurations press 8" and just "configurations 8"
spreatrum, not mtk
x120c
came with oreo go, treble enabled per getprop
i dont know what else, please

Introduction
This is the bootloader unlock from ZTE. It was provided to me in private email by a ZTE engineer.
Warning
This package is for the USA version of the Axon 7 Mini (tulip) running 7.1.1 b14 firmware. If you are running any other device or firmware version, it may not work.
Note
After some testing, it appears that the Axon 7 Mini is not locked in any way. In other words, apparently neither this package nor tuliptool's unlock are required to flash custom ROMs. The only apparent advantage to flashing this is to get access to fastboot, which provides a way to flash a custom boot and recovery (among other things).
Flashing Instructions
Place axon_mini_unlock.zip on the root of your sdcard.
Reboot into recovery.
Select "Apply update from SD card".
Select axon_mini_unlock.zip.
Usage Instructions
After the package is flashed, you may boot into the bootloader:
adb reboot bootloader
Once in the bootloader, you will see an on-screen menu. Additionally, you may access the typical fastboot commands:
fastboot oem device-info
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash ...
... etc ...
Download
axon_mini_unlock.zip
md5: ea8f1a21c8a46b3045d00f17a37fe359
So, after this is done, I can flash TWRP through fastboot and tuliptool is no longer necessary, correct?
Yes, that is correct.

Is this something your contact mentioned or something that you believe based on your experience?
Any harm in trying it on verdandi/other versions without any risk of bricking?

Any way to confirm this is also the case with other versions as well?
Thanks TDM.... you're going to have a lot of Canadians asking about verdandi as it is quite cheap here at the moment. Better get those questions out of the way early. The source is released, same kernel version as the U.S. one with some small differences with drivers (from what I can see) and I am sure that if people know that custom roms are possible on that version (not bootloader locked forever) it would be appreciated.

Yeah...verdandi is stuck on Marshmellow. But since it has different hardware it could brick if this is tried.
The ZTE engineer is USA based, he is not on the China development team (read: probably a support engineer). He said: "I attached the unlock update zip package, please try it. It is based on B14 build."
Sorry, that's all I have to go by for "official" information.
I do not want to be responsible for anyone bricking their device, so I cannot claim that this bootloader will work with anything other than a tulip device running 7.1.1 b14.
If you want to try and report back, I'm sure others will appreciate it. But I can't be responsible for the results.

Oh, and here is some more information to help you decide...
The volume key combo to enter EDL is handled by aboot (bootloader, eg. the thing we are flashing). This means even if you aren't currently able to use the key combo, you should be able to use it with the new aboot here. And if you can get to EDL, you can never really brick the device.
The volume key combo is detected very early in the aboot code. Like, first thing after basic platform init. So even if this isn't compatible with your device, it's likely we could restore the old aboot (assuming you back it up first, of course).
I'm convinced that the tulip is not locked based on my investigation today. So I have no idea if this aboot is properly signed. If your device is locked and this aboot is not signed properly, the lower boot loader won't load it. I'm not quite sure if that kicks you into EDL or not.
Not sure if that makes the decision easier or harder...
How did you come to the conclusion that tulip is not locked to begin with? If we don't need tuliptool or this aboot, how can I check verdandi if the device is the same 'locked but not really locked' state?
I will have a read about backing up aboot and see what I come up with concerning getting into edl.
So here's the deal...
I initially assumed the bootloader was locked because... well... it's supposed to be. So I found the place in aboot code where it checks the lock flag in the devinfo partition. I used the firehose to write unlocked to that flag. Then I built TWRP, flashed it and it booted. So I assumed everything was working just as I expected.
Today, I flashed the aboot with fastboot support and ran "fastboot oem device-info". It said that my device was locked. So I went to look and, sure enough, my devinfo partition flag was still set. Hmm, that's odd.
So I wrote locked back to the flag. TWRP still booted. Now things are looking pretty suspicious.
But maybe the new aboot doesn't even support locking? So I flashed the original b14 version of aboot and TWRP still booted.
That's pretty hard evidence that aboot is ignoring the lock flag. I don't know what they did -- whether they just removed the code that reads the lock flag or introduced a bug or what.
This does not necessarily mean that the lower layers are unlocked. That is, the lower boot loader may still required a properly signed aboot. I don't know, and I'm not ready to brick my device trying to find out.

Hmm... Looks like this package incompatible with ZTE/P852A11/tulip.
Got error while trying to flash it by stock recovery. Error message says that it is for A12 version of tulip.
Ah, yes, you have the euro model. See the "calling all mini owners" thread, posts #76 and #77.

Rooting the stock ROM will require that you remove verity, so that the OS won't refuse to boot once you've made any changes to the system partition. You'll need to use tuliptool to flash a new boot image, which you can find in this section of the forum. Then, you could either install TWRP through fastboot or using tuliptool.

Thank you sir I appreciate it I shall try it tomorrow.
here's a stupid question.... I have only dealt with Samsung devices so, I have trouble understanding any other kind of process that is not Samsung. If a new update comes out while my device is bootloader unlocked can i update it? or will it brick my device?
The "standard" (not Samsung) method of updating via OTA is to ship:
1. Full images of any firmware partitions (rpm, tz, aboot, etc.)
2. Full image of boot.
3. A delta (patch) to system.
Also note that custom recoveries generally do not work with vendor OTA's.
This means that if you wish to apply an OTA, you must first have stock recovery and a completely pristine, unmodified system partition. The rest doesn't matter.

i have done several methods like grabbing a exact specs recovery and modding it according to my phone
and i flashed it to my phone
it flashed
but after that when i am going to recovery it saying that
"this phone has been installed a unautorised version of android and contact the customer care for any problem"
indirectly it saying that the recovery i installed is a modded and we wont allow such kind of things ,so reinstall the original firmware
what is the problem

You omitted to mention the phone model which is important in troubleshooting.
And it sounds like you tried to flash a custom recovery to a device that has a locked bootloader which usually leads to these kinds of results.

You're probably wrong. Only Mediatek powered phones can be modded without unlocking their bootloader (and even that's limited because it no longer works with newer chipsets).
Anyway, the message you're getting clearly means that the Bootloader is blocking unofficial softwares. You should probably ask the manufacturer for bootloader unlocking procedure.

even thought if i ask for the manufacturers they wont expel because its not what they do
so you are saying that qualcomm chipsets cant be modded without unlocking bootloader right?
incase that
if you know any methods for the unlocking bootloader will you please tell me
i will try my level best

Bad for you my friend.
so per xda rules i cannot post where to go to unlock your bootloaders on the nokia 6.1 but if you google search you will find it. it's $5 and you provide your IEMI and i had the code and was unlocked within 10 minutes.
im not a dev but id love to start a discussion on how to build twrp and achieve root. i wanted to extract my boot.img and try to patch with magisk but im positive you need twrp to see the partition scheme and temp root to make a system dump. since this is an android one device its possible it follows the pixel scheme and has a/b partitions which makes it even harder for development of roms. but root should be possible if we have someone with the knowledge how to achieve it.
i just wanted to start a discussion and see where this takes us. this is a nice budget device and it deserves root.
im still not sure why its against the rules here to pay for a unlock when jcase used to promote the sunshine app to s-off and unlock bootloaders for $25 per phone.
ive attached a screenshot of my unlocked bootloader so people don't think im full of it. i have the USA 32gb / 3gb ram model from best buy.
let the fun begin! :fingers-crossed:

its a gsm unlocked phone but I use it on tmobile. yes its works fine. once you unlock the bootloader it does factory reset and wipe data.
it seems the only way to do a system dump is to buy a edl usb type c cable since we have no temp root or official firmware from nokia. if anybody has one of these cables and gets their bootloader unlocked we can get a system dump including the recovery.img to build twrp and the boot.img to patch with magisk.
I succed to unlock bootloader. I pay for it. I want to back up rom and find way to make custom recovery to flash magisk
why your bootloader ui is different ?

Shame no magisk currently or I would be off to buy a unlock key! Bought this phone on contract a month or two ago and am kinda missing magisk.

You should read/search more...
In almost every thread is link how to unlock (because people needs to talk about that everywhere), for now no option to root, unless we have TWRP or the boot image. And you need to wait for Android P, it should be out in August, I think...

it seems the only way to do a system dump is to buy a edl usb type c cable since we have no temp root or official firmware from nokia. if anybody has one of these cables and gets their bootloader unlocked we can get a system dump including the recovery.img to build twrp and the boot.img to patch with magisk.

I can buy the cable and try to do that. I never done it, but I can Google it and try it.
I ordered the cable yesterday. I will try to get the files necessary for TWRP.

It only cost me $8, but I least I have it for future usage or to fix phone if bricked. Thanks for working on rooting this device. Everyone will be grateful for you time and work. I don't think I would have the knowledge needed to do it and would have had to do some research to learn about it. Thank you.
If someone make a twrp we can root it throw magisk. I am on android p

How us P compared to Oreo ? Speed and fluidity .?
I think oreo has better battery. P never stuck very quickly Rom and stable. Now that on holidays I found a new add. You can use phone and Google maps can run in.small window! Usefull .. the ROM came with the basic stock Google tools. I like it. I don't like that I can't make modifications like xposed remove some Google apps like player and add others. I don't like that Nokia hasn't software that you can unbrick your phone (lg has the lg bringe). I don't like that Nokia isn't official unlock the bootloaders.
hey you guys we owners of the 10.or G would really appropriate if ya started building custom roms for the 10.or G 32GB and 64GB.
The phone is really awsome and i think it would out out perform other phones in this catogory. please please please try and port Resurrection remix for this phone it would be crazy good.
thanks in advance if this happens

Bootloader issues
There is a great problem in unlocking bootloader....
Then only we can install custom rom...
Without unlocking there is no twrp/cwm recovery
if we dont have it we cant able to install it
you need to ask support team of tenor g by email...
I am always asking them but they are not giving us valuable reply
I was watching how to compile roms... But we will need a device source tree for compiling roms
Before that we neet to unlock bootloader
Can anyone try this command in fastboot mode and confirm if bootloader unlocks?
fastboot oem unlock
Make sure u have backed up your data because it will wipe data
I have my warranty for 6 months left? so can anyone without warranty test it out?
I will start development on it after i am confident enough on compiling roms and i get my new laptop?

Yep, I'm sure someone could test it for you......that someone is YOU.
If you want it tested, test it yourself. You said your device is under warranty, that means if you brick it, you can get it replaced. If someone that does NOT have warranty bricks their device testing this for you, they will be stuck with a dead device and no way to get it replaced, whereas, YOU CAN IF IT GOES WRONG.
You're asking others to risk their device for your own convenience to protect your own device. That is is being spoiled, rude and inconsiderate.

Bro that command won't brick any device , plus have some common sense ... If anyone unlocks bootloader it's warrenty is voided
I'll try it myself if no one does and be the first one to respond then.... I garuntee you that... But after my warrenty period is over...
I haven't ordered anyone to do this ... Its upto that individual... There's no need to respond like that

Be sensible? I was being more sensible than you understand due to your un-awareness to certain things about android devices. You've unlocked the bootloader and used ROMs on 3-4 devices in the past 5 years, great, that gives you experience with the devices that you own. That doesn't mean much when it comes to other devices, though.
It wasn't so much a matter of whether it was a potential brick or not, it was the fact that you ask someone else to test instead of doing it yourself. Generally, using oem unlock command does not brick a device....but, you aren't exactly right. Running the oem unlock command CAN and HAS bricked devices, they are device specific scenarios though. I have an RCA tablet that is unrecoverable due to using fastboot to unlock bootloader and that was on 4.4, long before all the extra security measures implemented by manufacturers and carriers today ever came along. Bootloader unlocking these days can be much more tricky than it was on that old device. So, as you said, do your research. I wouldn't have said anything if I didn't already know.
Also, you are aware that even if you tried the command and it unlocked your bootloader, you could easily relock the bootloader, which wouldn't void your warranty unless the manufacturer/carrier was standing right there looking over your shoulder when you unlocked the bootloader?

My point was to be careful what you post when it comes to unlocking bootloader these days. Bootloader unlocking gets more tricky by the day with all the coding and security measures used by manufacturers and carriers as time goes on. They are getting better at creating roadblocks for people like us. As these measures evolve, more and more users are breaking devices due to encountering security measures on their device that they were unaware of.

I did a search for "generic TWRP for snapdragon 625".
I didn't find anything, all I found was mention of using treble.
I'm not sure there can even be such a thing as generic TWRP due to the way it has to be built specific to the hardware in the device.

Typically, a locked bootloader won't allow this to work, the locked bootloader will see that the TWRP.img is not your stock recovery and won't allow it to boot.

Hi folks,
I've managed to stumble my way through using pixel flasher to update my P7Pro to the latest fw with root. Only need root so I can record calls, should I lock the bootloader now I'm done?
Also how do I update in future please without having to wipe, use pixel flasher and patch as I've just done?
I like to think I'm quite tech savvy but the guides for the P7Pro have gone over my head :/

Not unless you want to brick your device. You need to be completely stock before relocking your bootloader (unless using avbroot, but you should have a deep understanding about how it works beforehand).

never ever* lock bootloader on google devices. fastboot only works on unlocked bootloader and there is no alternative to fastboot.

And you can't flash a factory image to fix a phone on your own when it's soft bricked. It might have to go to a shop for repairs.

AFAIK, relocking the bootloader requires wiping the device -- much like unlocking does -- and if you're unwilling to set everything (including anything on your /sdcard internal storage, not to mention all apps and their settings & system settings) back up from scratch (as any good complete backups require root access), this might not be what you wish to do.
And, if you had managed to successfully relock the bootloader, you could simply run the in-system update (OTA) that would update without wiping -- or even manually applying OTA from the recovery.
But there are hardly any benefits in re-locking the bootloader (after unlocking it) -- even if one was to a paranoid degree of security; which is the only major reason to (I can point you to the discussions that had taken place on it here, if you wish). If you don't want to run into any issues, you could simply run the stock ROM without root and be hardly impacted by it; with the added benefit of having the option to advanced recovery options and/or rooting options open to you in the future if need be...

*it just occurs to me you meant to never lock bootloader because it limits options; not the risk of hard-bricking the device -- in which I wrote the following with that assumption. I'll leave the following comment as it is still sound advice, but I apologize in advanced that it doesn't quite relate to what you meant...
I mean, I feel doing Google's official Android Flash Tool is a safe enough method; it wouldn't do well if Google's own tool bricked their devices using their tool...at the very least the tool ensures that the stock factory firmware flashed matches the bootloader version and automates the fastboot commands so when re-locking the bootloader, it has the least potential to brick the device...
Exactly. there is no official flash tool from google, that's why I personally won't recommend to keep bootloader locked. If it's bricked with no working recovery mode, not even repair shop can fix it. all you can do is RMA to google get new device. no edl mode or anything else will help, fastboot is the official flashing method.
If you're referring to the "Android Flash Tool" that's no flash tool at all. I haven't tested it, but to me it looks like a WebUSB browser plugin. Reading the requirements it works with adb commands, usb-debugging and fully booted android is required. Therefore cannot unbrick devices.

That's of course another aspect. Good point. If you rely on SafetyNet or it's successor Play integrity, do not unlock bootloader. AFAIR the latter one can't be cheated.

There are some benefits like some banking apps, streaming apps and games beginning to work. So it really depends on what is important for the user. I don't like flashing random mods to make apps work on rooted/ bootloader unlocked devices, primarily banking apps.
