[Q] Flashing .img file without unlocking bootloader, possible? - Honor View 10 Questions & Answers

Recently while debranding my Honor v10 from EU to Indian version, I encountered a locked bootloader (post successful debranding). FRP is unlocked but bootloader is locked. Is there any way to flash ramdisk.img, recovery.img, system.img or anything or any way to root this phone now or atleaset boot to recovery TWRP recovery without installing it or unlocking the bootloader. Searched numberous posts and articles and tried various ways of root but no luck. any expert out here can help or guide.
The most closer I found was here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/root-unlocking-bootloader-t2820628/page2 but this is not working any more with latest Android versions.
Tried KingoRoot, KingRoot, SDK and few more but no luck.
Any help?

You would need to unlock the bootloader to flash any sort of .img in fastboot

[Q] Nexus 5 6.0.1 (MMB29Q) not rooting & no SuperSU

I’m currently using NRT 2.1.4 and i’ve tried rooting my device a few times now and it never installs SuperSU and I can’t boot into TWRP as it shows the android laying down w/ the red exclamation, which is odd since it does go into TWRP during the process of rooting...
But I do not have TWRP installed because of the NRT process
Steps I have taken:
Unlock Bootloader
Flash stock + Unroot (Latest version MMB29Q)
Root & Custom Recovery
When I do the root step, it boots into bootloader, goes in a temporary twrp, then launches normally and says to update SuperSU binaries and check busybox, but neither SuperSU or busybox get added into my app list
It also sometimes says ADB recovery device not found on some attempts..
Is there any way for me to root my Nexus 5?
I have repeatedly flashed the stock with the newest version and still haven’t been able to root.
I have tried relocking the bootloader and unlocking it, but upon unlocking it again, it says that it's already unlocked...?
(Bootloader shows LOCK STATE - unlocked when trying to relock bootloader)
I have been able to root my Nexus 7 2013, but can't seem to get my Nexus 5 to work..
How about flashing TWRP via fastboot, then use the volume/power button to immediately boot into TWRP, and then flash supersu?
The bootloader will not relock?

Yeah, I don't know why, when I try to OEM lock and unlock it says it's already unlocked, which is odd.
But I did the TWRP via fastboot and installed SuperSU that way, thanks.
Glad it worked for your phone.
Help me to unlock bootloader and root
Hello Guys, I want to unlock the bootloader on my N5. My phone is in Android Ver 6.0.2 with Feb patch(Build Number MMB29Q). Please help me in doing so. Also i would root my device, i would prefer TWRP. Please anybody...
Boot the phone into fastboot, connect the phone to your computer, and use fastboot commands to unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, and flash supersu for root.
Unlocking the bootloader will wipe the phone.

Recovery problems with Unlocked Bootloader

Hello! I have an unlocked bootloader on my Z3 and am currently on 5.0.2 (.28) Lollipop. I rooted it with Kingo Root. I am on the step where i am trying to flash a recovery. I have tried manually to flash a twrp.img via fastboot, via NUT's automatic installer, and both don't seem to work. Although they push the files on the phone and say success, I cannot boot into recovery, it flashes red for 2 seconds and skips to OS. I tried also downgrading to 4.4, but giefroot fails to work for some reason. What am I doing wrong?
flash FOTA recovery!

Screwed up oeminfo, now have a brick

I was trying to flash an oeminfo file from a C432 on to my bln-l24 after flashing Elite 5.1. I mistakenly thought I could rename oeminfo to oeminfo.img and flash with twrp. Well, I did that, and now I have a brick. At first, all I could get to was erecovery, which would fail when I let it do its thing. I've tried to flash B360 back on it using the 3 finger method with no luck. I flashed to MM rollback package, which was successful but still would only boot to erecovery. I flashed the full MM package, which again was successful. However, not it just hangs on the blue honor screen after the boot animation. I can't do anything in fastboot without getting a Command Not Allowed message since I am FRP locked. Any ideas? Hopefully I'm not SOL....Thanks.
Flash boot.img
It's very simple, flash the boot.img of MM or Nougat if that is the one you successfully flashed. It should work. Don't freak out.

I can't. Everytime I try to flash something in fastboot, it says command not allowed
Download Huawei Multi Tools by Team MT
Download the above and use it to unbrick your phone ?
Just start your device in bootloader and run "fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXXXXX" with our unlocking code again.
Even if it states to be unlocked on the screen already.
Good luck!

Tried it, I get Command Not Allowed error message. I think the problem is I'm FRP locked as well, which interferes with a lot of fastboot commands. Thanks for the assistance though.
as you have flashed the OEMINFO of C432, you need to flash the update.app files for BLN-L21C432, available here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-successful-debranding-to-bln-t3701050
by any chance you are able to access TWRP now?
if the 1st method doesnt work then refer this https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-unbrick-bln-l24-rollback-to-b310-t3695154
if not, then on DC Phoenix is your option. you can more info in multi tool thread under Honor 7 section.

BLN-L24, Can Only FASTBOOT, Won't Flash Via DLOAD, or Boot to Recovery

Hey everyone,
I have the BLN-L24. I am only able to access FASTBOOT to do anything.
I cannot access eRecovery. VOLUP+PWR fails to load.
I cannot access the DLOAD method to flash a ROM. VOLUP+VOLDWN+PWR fails.
I cannot boot to the ROM.
Bootloader is locked. From what I understand, this cannot be unlocked due to Huawei no longer offering unlock codes.
FRP is unlocked.
So, are there any FASTBOOT options that I can use to flash this phone?
Saw that @shashank1320 has a lot of exp in this... pinging him.

Can't Flash TWRP

Hi friends, I own one Asus Zenfone max pro m1 and I recently wanted it's bootloader to be unlocked and I tried the unofficial method but didn't worked. So I chose the official method. It wasn't a good experience because I was successful after several attempts. Don't know why... But after installing and unintalling and then reinstalling the unlock tool several times somehow I managed to unlock the bootloader. Now it's showing fastboot mode instead of csc fastboot so I believe it's bootloader is unlocked.
But as I tried to flash twrp using Bugjaeger app from another phone(since I think I'm having issues with usb 3.0 port on my lap) it's showing "Flashing not allowed in Lock state".
How can I be sure to know if my bootloader is unlocked or not? And whatif I flash rom directly(using adb/fastboot) without twrp with Corvos OS? Will O be stuck on a boot loop?
I finally came to solve my problem by trying to unlock the bootloader again and again by official method. And after 3 attempts it was succesfully unlocked (unlocked properly). I could flash twrp without any difficulties and Im on Abhix Rog version now..
