Relock bootloader - HTC U12+ Questions & Answers

Hi everyone, I am selling my phone and would like to relock the phone and avoid having that message that appears every time I rebooot the phone..
Is it possiile to relock the phone without problems?
Could someone kindly show me how.
Thanks
Cheers

Make sure you flashed a full stock RUU first, just to make sure the software is absolutely original. Then you can do it via fastboot oem lock in download mode.

Hello friends,
I wanted to see if it worked.
I also want relock Bootloader. I have read that it can come to a software brick.
Thanks

what ever you do make sure you put on the original rom on, i made the mistake of doing it when I had a patched boot file and now it wont boot.
I'm not panicing just yet as from reading up I can just flash it using the SD card method. but i got to wait till I get home as i havent got a 16/32GB sd card with me.

Thank you.
just to be sure, this is what I need to do?
1. put an original RUU on your microSD card and rename it 2Q55IMG.zip. Then open the download mode and confirm the flashing.
2. then use "Fastboot OEM Lock" in download mode to lock the bootloader.
Did I understand it correctly?
Thanks

Yes, those instructions are correct.
Although I'm not entirely sure that will remove the message you're looking to remove but I might be wrong. Hopefully I am cause I intend to do the exact same thing as you.
Let me know how it goes

Thank you ,
But would be nice if someone could confirm, who has already done so with success ....

Can confirm this is the way to do it, but make sure you put a stock rom on first as it doesn't like it if your boot is patched.
The message is phone is RELOCKED after its all done

HELP!!!
Hello again,
I have a problem. I have the
2Q55IMG_IMAGINE_UHL_O80_SENSE10GP_HTC_Europe_1.30.401.2_Radio_sdm845-000201b-1807311356_release_528110_signed_2_4.zip
renamed 2Q55IMG.zip on the SD card and flashed. I have UHL (Single SIM) HTC_034.
Then i use "Fastboot OEM Lock" in download mode to lock the bootloader.
I confirm the query with Yes.
After that I have a bootloop, can't get out of it...
What can I do?

Did it boot into the rom before you tried to relock the bootloader. Also I wonder if the rom you used was to early. I used 1.53.401 when I did it. I assume that is the same rom for single / dual sim htc_034 models.
I would be getting a more uptodate rom and reflash again via sd card method

right, just download the 1.21.401.4 and try it...
Edit:
it worked with RUU 1.21401.4. Apparently the RUU 1.30.401.2 is faulty. ;o)

Since you're up to 4.2.2, (assuming locked bootloader?) then there is not much outside of a factory reset to fix your phone's problems.
You might just have to get a warranty replacement.

If you have a locked bootloader, it means the phone is locked down to where you cannot use custom recoveries (like CWM or TWRP) and you cannot flash ROMs that have a different kernel than what is currently on your phone. There's a whole host of other things, but that's the main issue.
Unless your phone is on JB version 9.16.9 or earlier (AND no one has flashed a later version and then flashed back to the previous version), then you cannot unlock the bootloader on this phone anymore.

you cannot unlock the XT926 with the official unlocker from Motorola unless it's the dev edition. Only the XT925 can be unlocked via the Motorola unlocker (at least for the RAZR HD phones).
But, you are already on Kit Kat. You even quoted where I said if you are apply an OTA greater than 9.16.9 version, you CANNOT unlock your bootloader ever. Once you do that on an XT926, you've patched the exploit that allowed unlocking the bootloader and nothing will ever put it back because it's in a protected area that you cannot flash back to a previous version to put the exploit back in.
Sorry, once you took the KitKat upgrade, you've lost any chance of unlocking the bootloader. Don't even try to flash back to a previous version. You'll brick your device. This has been stated over and over and over again since the KitKat ota has been released.

There is no way to unlock it, ever. Don't wait for a fix, as there is no fix to unlock the bootloader. It was never meant to be unlocked. It was unlocked via a security exploit and that exploit was patched after 9.16.9. There is no way to "fix" it.
As for your phone restarting, I would say a factory data reset is probably your only cure. It wipes everything (including your internal SD card), so be sure to back up what you can, especially pictures, etc.

Xperia Z3 (T-Mobile) D6616 Android 6.0 Not Found

Hi,
I've Xperia Z3 (T-Mobile) D6616 running on Android 5.0. I would like to install Android 6 on it.
I prefer to install Stock Rom of Android 6 On my Z3. Default , If there are a cool & good Custom ROM of Android 6.
I was not able to root it using Kingo Root too :crying: !!! Are there another way ?
Thanks
Get yourself another variant. The D6616 has a permanently locked bootloader. Flashing AOSP/CM-based ROMs is not possible.

My D6616 bootloader can be unlocked.

Hello.
I'm in the same case (D6616 with unlockable bootloader) & I wanna know if there is any issue to install custom ROM. Did you successfully installed any other ROM on it ? or mayebe Rooted it? let me know please.
Root is possible and Recovery too, but there are no custom ROMs made for D6616.
I too have the tmobile z3 d6616, being used in the UK on ee......I wanted 32gb storage and only this model seems to have it out of the factory. Purchased via eBay from a seller in Hong Kong, fully expected it to be a used/fake phone but no, brand new genuine item complete with all the tmobile bloatware. Acording to the specs I can't get 4g in the UK as it has the wrong lte bands (3g is no problem and sufficient for me) though when I use mobile data it does say 4g on the screen.....anyway I digress, I too have 'unlock bootloader - yes' on my phone when you enter the service menu. Despite flashing roms/rooting/flashing different kernels on my old note 3/4 I am unable to take advantage of this feature as my developer skills are next to zero!
I also have this version of D6616.
I unlocked the bootloader and have tried various roms and other mods without much luck.
I wonder what the difference is in the devices (apart from the baseband) that stops us from flashing stock d6603 roms too it.
Maybe some devs can identify where we/I am going wrong

If someone who knows how to use adb could pull the partition layout and upload it in a Google Doc and link it or pm to me I could take a look at it. I think that the partition layout is different and that's why other roms or ftf will not work. You can run this command in adb shell
Code:
ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name

Comparing it to http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/dev-d6603-stock-partition-table-t3288687
I can see no difference except for the extra 3 partitions on the end. (that is if the order doesnt matter only the numbers on the end of the partitions, if it does, then that could be our problem)
Btw, I relocked my bootloader before doing this, would that be a problem? (i dont think it would be)
I have the same model D6616 , would you please tell me how you unlocked your bootloader and which custom rom you preffer to install in it?
D6616
You can unlock boot loader but then you have just unstable custom MIUI V7 miui_Z3_liupan_6.6.17_4.4rom with no camera and Jaguar_Leo_December 14. rom a bit unstable.
So, after so many tries and soft-bricks ( once I had to press reset button for 120 sec with power wire +5 -5 V directly on magnetic pins ), I will stay with STOCK KK rom.
Hello! I have a D6616 and I successfully unlocked the bootloader, I successfully installed TWRP 3.0.2; Now the phone and my windows pc believe it is a Sony Xperia Z2. I love playing with Android and Sony products, don't you?
I tried the flashtool from XDA but no luck;
1. on the Z3 I press & hold "volume down" and plug in the USB cable,
2. the phone starts in "flash" mode, the XDA flashtool will recognize the phone,
3. I d/l-ed the appropriate .ftf file for the D6616, I attempt to flash the .ftf file,
4. the phone will reboot (idk why) and enter a boot loop until I manage to repeatedly press "volume up" and "volume down" and TWRP comes up.
I'm stuck, anyone at all that can help me out...please lend me any useful advice!
Could you please let us know how you unlocked the bootloader?

this would be really interesting! on P8 and Mate 8 it was possible to unlock and relock with DC-Unlocker and bootloader did not show "RELOCKED", instead it showed "LOCKED" like never unlocked before. i hope this also works on the P9. maybe some brave one could try this.
in response to my e-mail i sent to DC-Unlocker support i got the following answer:

If the phone is rooted will this also unlock it from the network?
UK.
02 selling the phone for £369.99 which is way cheaper than £449 from Huawei or CarphoneW.
thus tempted to buy and then root IF this will also unlock phone?
or..
how would I simply unlock the phone for any network ?
Hello all, i Unlock the BL of my phone, but now, i have a message, in orange letter say to me that my hone can't be trusted. What that message ?
sorry for my poor english)
would it be also possible to just boot the twrp (fastboot boot twrp.img) instead on flashing it? for rooting with supersu it should be enough to flash it once with a bootet twrp and the original recovery would be intact. this would be better for OTAs so we don`t have to revert every time to stock recovery.
also interesting would be the fastboot commad to backup the original recovery (and maybe the other partitions too)!
edit: just booting twrp does not work, you have to flash it.
what do we have to do for a OTA update? unroot with supersu and flash back stock recovery?
Has anyone tried this way? http://www.sadroid.com/how-to-root-huawei-p9-in-5-minutes/
Is there any roms made yet?

just a heads up I hear O2 phones are usually bootloader locked
So with this dc unlocker tool, can I relock the bootloader without leaving evidence of it being unlocked? Seems like the most efficient method to me...

I didn't say they were the same?
Phones from O2 usually have bootloaders that are permanently locked, with no way to unlock
Which I was drawing the person's attention too, as this method requires an unlocked bootloader for example.

I got an a8 from amazon from a country outside of spain. I live in spain and my simcard is spanish. Does this mean that i can unlock my phone? Or running my spanish simcard on a spanish network work on a foreign phone model in order to unlock the bootloader?

This is not good my friend, and it must be annoying to wait like endless for oem unlock to show up.
I have experienced the same problem once, the vanishing oem unlock on Oreo binary 3.
But after 7 days it showed up right away, I even didn't had to restart my device.
If you live in Spain and have a spanish simcard you should flash an official filmware of your country but with the same provider of your simcard, like, (example) Spain T-Mobile.
Also log in with your google and Samsung account for the servers to update after the 7 days, then you should get rid of prenormal state and get oem unlock back.
Make sure the simcard network is active, and do not restart your Phone during the 7 days.
k so do you need to have frp lock off in order to start the 7 day timer? i'm locked out of 2 of my a8's that i flashed at the same time. one on binary 2 and the other on 3.. both have no oem unlock. How do i know what firmware my phones originally came with? and when i do that... where do i let them idle for 7 days waiting if i can't get past the google...
Hello
use tutorial that works to perfection with the latest update brk3 (walk with other update too). do not forget to remove the sim card before starting the flash

Flash stock with Odin then reboot to your recovery and do factory reset.
Reboot system and wait 168 hour you may not do any reboots during this time or you have to start over.
Check see if your oem is visible and follow rooting directions.

ok so here's what i picture this looks like... flash stock... reboot to recovery and factory reset... reboot to setup screen where it says "Start" and it just sits there? then after the 168 hours i turn it off and flash combination to see if oem unlock is there? or just restart to download mode and see if it's gone?
Try removing sim card .
When I got this phone I did all of the hacking first then when I was done I put sim card in phone.

Question Unlocking and ReLocking Bootloader

Hi,
I want to unlock my bootloader to install the Indonesian Rom,
when I unlock I get this message
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
If I relock after flashing the new Rom will the phone be protected again ?
also, has any one else have problems with dark mode ?
Thank you in advance,
Itai.

Those tips are just a confirmation. If you are worried about what it's telling you, then don't unlock bootloader.

Only if you flash your own region stock back. Eg. your device is Indian, then you have to flash back to Indian Rom, then you can relock.
If you relock when having different region Rom, there might cause some problem or even brick your phone.
If you are going to use other region Rom, then do not relock the boot loader.

Some apps don't work , and for some i found that i can disable dark mode and then they work and there text is visible
Anybody please feel free to correct if I'm wrong, but I think what "may damage your device or cause financial loss" is exactly that custom ROM you're flashing, nothing else.

Finger print is not as secure as device with locked bootloader. This is an example of financial loss, eg. loosing the device stolen by strangers. This is what the "find my device" option Google offers for.
Even if you have official MIUI with unlock bootloader, if people steal your device, they can take your personal data with TWRP if they crack the password and finger print.

^ hijacking this.
*** SPOILER: I've found an answer, it's below ***
This is how sorting menu looks like in Youtube Manager Studio for example. Guess it's app-specific but I've encountered couple of them not very happy about dark mode.
(I'm on Xiaomi.eu roms but stock was the same)
Any chance I could tweak it a little somewhere?
EDIT: Found solution! Just enter Settings > Display > More Dark mode options and then just disable dark mode for problematic apps. Ofc it doesn't fix dark mode for them, just removes dark mode from those specific apps, but for me it's okay as a workaround
