Hi everybody!
After the precious advice of user ndt192, I managed to unlock my SKR-A0 which, until this day, seemed un-unlockable.
THIS PROCEDURE WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE MEMORY SO REMEMBER TO BACKUP EVERYTHING
TL;DR
In developer options, OEM Unlocking must be ticked (if present), then I just issued a fastboot oem unlock while in fastboot mode.
I'm on the latest OTA (29-12-18, v. G66X1812291CN00MPX).
Full Tutorial
Enable developer options by tapping 7+ times on Settings -> About Phone -> Build Number
Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking (if present) in Developer Options (Settings -> Other Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Developer Options)
Open a terminal and issue the command adb devices
On the phone, allow the access from your computer on the dialog that will be shown
In terminal adb reboot bootloader
Wait for the phone to reboot in bootloader mode
STOP AND THINK - DID YOU BACKUP EVERYTHING?
Issue the command fastboot oem unlock and wait for the OKAY in the terminal window
Reboot your phone with fastboot reboot
Now, you will be informed that because of the unlocking your phone memory is "corrupted" (aka not decryptable anymore) so the phone needs to be wiped. Agree and wait.
Hopefully, your bootloader will be unlocked now. You can check that by returning to fastboot mode and checking that the Status is Unlocked.
If you want TWRP/root, check out this thread.
This procedure didn't seem to work until a few months ago so I don't know exactly if this procedure works only on newest Joy UI versions or not. Try it out (at your own risk).
IMPORTANT - if you can't unlock with these steps, please post here with the version of Joy UI installed and the message shown after the fastboot oem unlock command

Hello, I have a vanilla Pixel 2 which corrupted itself and will not boot. It boots to recovery mode, but Bootloader is locked. I have not done a factory reset, and am attempting to recover the files. Fastboot mode works but will not allow temporary boot or unlocking of bootloader. I can access adb but only in sideload mode. OTA images successfully sideload but it still will not boot... After hours of scouring google I'm stumped. Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.
Hint: Add Pixel 2 to this thread's title thus mainly owners of such a phone get addressed.

I see that u want to keep your files but sorry to say this but your gonna have to do a factory reset because their is no other way to fix this
To do this boot into recovery mode and perform a factory reset
If u can't boot into recovery mode u probably have to unlock bootloader than install twrp
But that's probably only gonna work if u enabled oem unlock and enabled usb debugger before your device got bricked
Because if u try to unlock the bootloader with oem unlock and usb debugger disenable your gonna receive error when trying to unlock bootloader
Try to start in recovery mode. Otherwise only restore is the option.
You can start mobile in fastboot mode. You can back up mobile.
adb backup -all

On Android-side bootloader initializes ADB and mounts partitions. Hence check whether phone is accessible via ADB:
Code:
adb reboot
adb devices
If it is, and partitions got mounted, then you can fetch the user-data you are interested in by means of adb pull method.
Hello!
I am trying to sign TWRP (Redmi Note 8 ginkgo) using GPG on Windows 10. I have imported the TWRP public key, however, when I select the file for signing, it does not show up in the drop-down menu in Kleopatra. From my research, this seems to be due to it being a public key and missing the private key part (correct me if this is incorrect please).
I have no idea how to acquire such a key that would allow me to sign TWRP correctly. Could anyone please help me with this?
Thank you!
Well from my understanding are you trying to lock the bootloader with TWRP installed?

No, the bootloader is still locked and I don't have TWRP installed.
I want to use the command "fastboot boot twrp.img" in adb, however, it doesn't work with a locked bootloader. I get the error "FAILED (remote: Fastboot boot command is not available in locked device)".
I read somewhere that it might work if TWRP was signed without having to unlock the bootloader.
Well does your phone have some problems and cannot unlock bootloader?
The signing key is something only accessible by people working for Xiaomi, unfortunately.

1. Fastboot and ADB are 2 totally different softwares: don't confuse them.
2. You only can sucessfully apply Fastboot commands if phone's bootloader is unlocked. Hence unlock bootloader as 1st thing of all things:
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot flashing unlock

Unfortunately, my phone no longer accepts the correct pattern to unlock it. I have been trying to find a solution for this for weeks, if only so I can back up my data before wiping it, but none of the options I found seem to work in my situation. From what I know, unlocking bootloader would delete everything, which is the exact thing I'm trying to avoid, so it is unfortunately not an option. :/

Thank you for the correction. I only started getting into this recently and I mostly saw them bundled together so I assumed Fastboot was part of ADB.

Does anyone knows how to unlock bootloader in Itel a48 (L6006) device?
I tried to unlock the bootloader by using these commands...
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock (not worked)
fastboot flashing unlock (not worked)
fastboot flashing unlock critical (not worked)
So now, How can I unlock the bootloader? I want to unlock the bootloader because I want to root my device with magisk using twrp.
Everytime I try to flash the TWRP recovery image file by using these commands...
fastboot boot recovery.img (not worked)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (not worked)
I failed, I also tried to directly flash the patched boot file of magisk by using the bellow command...
fastboot flash boot masgisk.img
(Note: I tried both boot_a and boot_b, none of these worked)
I once again failed...and when I tried to check if the bootloader already unlocked by using these commands...
fastboot getvar all (not worked)
fastboot oem device-info (not worked)
Upper commands returns only
OKAY [process finish time]
and I also want to mention that Fastboot and Adb both can recognize my device I also installed the usb drivers and adb drivers, Usb debugging and oem unlock is turned on.
Please help me

If Fastboot isn't working then either bootloader isn't unlocked or Fastboot isn't supported or wrong Fastboot driver used.
Did you enable the OEM unlocking option from developer option?
if not then enable it first after that boot into boot loader mode and type this command: fastboot oem unlock

To root a phone's Android it's NOT required to unlock its bootloader.
Since Android 6 the Linux command suite TOYBOX is merged with Android - what has the SU command incorporated, thus ROOT is available
