Hi all
Iam trying to unlock my bootloader in moto m to root the device.
when trying
fastboot oem get_unlock_data>> it shows as failed remote unknown error
also i used command fastboot oem unlock,it says as unlocked
then tried to flash it with twrp recovery image>it says as done but I cant able to go to twrp.
Please help me to fix the issue
Once you have flashed the twrp image, can you boot into android? Does adb work? If yes, try and run "adb reboot recovery" and report results.

3 easy steps:
1. fastboot oem unlock in bootloader mode. Accept the message on the phone's screen. Read carefully.
2. Fastboot boot twrp.img
3. flash / sideload latest supersu.zip
Could anyone please help with a guide for rooting Nokia 3 and flashing TWRP that works for Android 9.0?
Thanks.
It's very easy if you have the bootloader already unlocked.
1.- Download magisk apk from github
2.- Install and download the zip
3.- Move the zip to a sd card
4.- Flash twrp using Sp Flash Tools
5.- Boot into recovery and flash magisk zip
That's all
I tried yesterday

Thank you for your answer.
What if you don't have your bootloader unlocked ? Do you just need to check the "Unlock Bootloader" switch in the developers options ? Thank you

Hey. How to downgrade nokia 3 from pie to nogaut ? I want to root my device
before you do this just remember this wipes your phone
you can unlock your nokia 3 on 9.0 just make sure bootloader is unlocked in dev settings and boot into fastboot.
then run the following commands
fastboot -i 0x2e04 oem key [MD5-key]
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
fastboot flash boot [path to whatever you're flashing e.g. magisk]
then run
fastboot reboot
and your phone will be rooted and the bootloader unlocked

How can I remove the orange state?
I mean, currently, if I lock the bootloader again, I get a red state.
and I can only skip it, if I connect it to the usb.
and start normally, without any status warning, if it is connected to the usb

that implies then that I could not root it.

I guess I'll keep the orange state.

then get into fastboot mode....then enter the following commands....
fastboot oem key [md5 hash]
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
while rebooting, instantly press vol up+power to go into recovery mode( dont let the phone to boot normally or you will have to flash twrp again and your phone might be in orange state but ignore that)....if it shows "no command" press the same buttons at the same time to get into recovery mode.....then install the magisk.zip and reboot....then install magisk.apk and you are done.... tried and tested on nokia 3 ta- 1032 android pie just today and it worked...

Don't do it !!! After rooting TA-1032 Pie 9, camera does not work !!!
Hier is what I did:
$ adb devices
$ adb reboot bootloader
$ fastboot devices
$ echo -n "NE1GXXXXXXXXXXXX" | md5sum | tr a-z A-Z | awk '{print $1}'
$ fastboot oem key YOUR-KEY
# the first time did not accepted
$ fastboot -i 0x2e04 oem key YOUR-KEY
$ fastboot oem key YOUR-KEY
$ fastboot flashing unlock
$ fastboot reboot
# Installed magisk v23.apk
$ fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-23000_7R099.img
$ fastboot reboot
I can confirm that this works on Nokia3 TA-1032, but the problem is the camera.
All you get is green background, if anyone knows hot to fix the green
background, please let me/us know.
Thank you,
went to OTA Pie.
Bootloader is unlocked, but phone is S-On.
I'd like to TWRP then Magisk.
From Download mode (to install TWRP) I get "command not found" when I enter fastboot flash recovery twrp.img.
What am I doing wrong?

Put twrp.img into directory with adb and fastboot files for Win OS.
Command line must be run from directory where you have adb, fastboot and twrp.img.
same for Mac OS. Done this many times over the years. But not working with Pie on U11.
In Bootloader or Download I get: command not found for either fastboot devices or fastboot flash recovery /Users/fritz/Downloads/•\ android/twrp-3.4.img.
But adb works fine.
Showing modified and S-On, both of which I don't think I had with Oreo.
I had the wrong fastboot version. TWRP and Magisk are in.
For anyone looking for the right adb & fastboot tools for Mac OS, the link on this page, even though old, is good.

After a long investigation, i find out that the command " fastboot boot <twrp-xxxx>.img " is no longer working in Android [11] to avoid overwriting TWRP by the Stock OEM Recovery. Because the code to do this wicked job, after every reboot, is now inside the stock "init" binary.
So to finally stop this mess, after flashing your TWRP (better to be in raw.img) with this command :
fastboot flash recovery <twrp-xxxx>.img
type :
fastboot reboot recovery
Then, flash Magisk (rename it to .zip) in TWRP menu ... This will overwrite the original "init" with the Magisk one ... That's All !
This workaround should work for all devices with android 11 oem software pre-installed ! (tested on my POCO X3 NFC and oneplus 8 too)
Cheers
What do you mean by "raw.img"? I attempted to do this from the bootloader on my OnePlus 6 (with Lineage OS 18.1 and latest firmware from OnePlus) and got a '(recovery_a) No such partition' error.

POCO X ??? WOW ... I never heard about that phone !
Check first your bootloader status ! locked or unlocked ???
Update your adb/fastboot binaries ... or use this ones.
If that command doesn't work, use this one :
fastboot boot <your-flashed-twrp-xxx>.img
