So 10 hours ago I decided I wanted to root my phone to install some apps and maybe even a cool ROM.
I read that the first step is to unlock the bootloader. I have trying my hardest to do this first step for 10 hours.
I've read 4-5 different tutorials twice on xda.
My phone is:
HTC One A9(hiae), bought in Sweden
hTc download mode
*** LOCKED ***
htc_hiaeuhl PVT S-ON
LK-1.0.0.000
[email protected]
OpenDSP-7.8.2.00197-8952_1228
OS-1.56.401.70
Jan 22 2016....
I have tried the normal way through htcdev.com even had the Unlock_code.bin at one point. But I had to reinstall all drivers twice to get it.
I have tried using the WinDroid Toolkit, no better than the manual way.
I got my hard earned token ID through both ways.
I find that every time I want to use fasstboot to send over a file i.e. "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" hTc download mode is stuck at Start download, like I need to confirm it but can't because the command failed. The same goes for the Unlock_code.bin, can't send it over.
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot devices
HT5AVBE04449 fastboot
C:\adb>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 0.003s
I can get past this next problem temporarily by reinstalling all drivers, tedious.
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 5.002s
Possible problems:
hTc download mode: I need to accept the download before fastboot give up, instant.
Win10: Bad OS for this?
USB connectors: Not enough power? Some other USB devices don't work here normally.
HTC Sync Manager: I've not bother installing the software.
Solution
I've made it;
I'm not sure if I was in the real download mode at the time, but that might have been it.
Also this time I redid everything, deleted all the drivers correctly and installed via Universal Naked Drivers
Hello,
Did you check OEM unlocking to allow the bootloader to be unlocked in Settings/Developper options (hidden by default, appears when you tap Build number 10x in Setting/About/ Software information/More/ Build number) ?

For my phone it is 8 taps and yes. Every time I start a new Android I do a OEM unlock.
But I might be correct to change USB connector.
So I've pretty much hit a wall. I have unlocked bootoader, and everytime I try to enter into factory resetting via volume + power button, it'll boot into "your device is booting now..." and it'll stay there. Same thing if I try to do it via the settings.
Whenever I try to install custom recovery or anything, I get this message.
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery TWRP-CN.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (29218 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.789s]

I've tried all sorts of twrp files. My phone has locked me out of changing anything from adb commands it seems. How do I fix this?
My FRP is also locked, if that matters. I've tried to delete all accounts from my phone, as well as the "find my phone" option.
I'm on Anroid 7, EMUI 5.

OEM is greyed out in the developer settings, I can't activate it or decative.
Try the unlock command again for the bootloader. This worked for me even when it was unlocked before

Dont share your unlock key here, and are you sure that was your bootloader unlock keys.
Frp lock means your bootloader is locked.
FRP lock is a security action, for remove them you must boot a device and remove all google accounts.
Unfortunately this casw happened to me, when i want factory reset my phone, his dead and i cant boot it again just fastboot work but FRP LOCK activate and i cant flash any thing, give error command not allowed, in last i have to go to repair services, and they do this with hard box (maybe chimera or sigma.. Or other).
If you can boot your device you can do any thing, but if your device get bootloop go to services center.
Hello, first i must say sorry for bad english.
i bought this phone from one guy from work. He just told me: Just Huawei logo showing. But what he did with it he dont said. Well come to problem.

I downloaded DC unlocker and charge 4 points for read Bootloader Unlock code. But i have to connect phone like COM 1.0 .. and that is what i cant. there is no recovery. nothing. tried update with SDcard with UPDATE.APP from dload but nothing happen. So i tried flash manualy with Fastboot flash recovery.img .. boot.img .. and it say

So another method.. Can somebody here tell me how unbrick Hard bricked p8 lite 2017? I readed a lot of pages about this problem. And it telling me the my phone are Hard bricked. Is here some way to unbrick?
Dear Community!
I need your help! After factory resetting my Motorola G3 it stucks on logo. I can access bootloader and recovery mode, but even after doing factory reset again it gets stuck on the same place. I can run adb and fastboot and it recognizes my device, but I can't install new OS because the phone is locked. I also cannot unlock - after entering "fastboot oem unlock" and the unlock key from Motorola, I get the message
(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.
FAILED (remote: '')
Finished. Total time: 0.020s
Probably, because I can't access the device's menu and allow rooting. I would appreciate any help! I am sorry, probably I made some mistakes in my explanations... Thank you!

I have a very big problem with my poco x3Pro, in the beginning it was totally wrong to install the system etc....
now I'm without a system without recovery and without unlocked bootloader.

I've looked for everything, nothing works and when I try to pass via fastboot the error or via miflash. Nothing works...

The device doesn't start, it just stays in fastboot mode/starting from poco just like that, frustrated, I don't even know what to do,... worse than that, I don't know how I got to this situation because everything was working normally.

Safe way: Find Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco repair center or customer service.
Ask them to help you flash official ROM.
You tried flashing stuff without unlocking your bootloader? ... Never ever tinker with mobile software unless you unlock bootloader.

If you don't want to find Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco repair center or customer service, the other way is to look for someone on the internet with
Xiaomi authorized account.
With that kind of account, it can flash with MiFlash even if bootloader is locked.
You will highly likely need to pay for this in advance, and there are many fraud on the internet.
The safest place with definite Xiaomi authorized account is obviously Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco repair center or customer service.

The only way to flash frimware with locked bootloader is through EDL mode.
There are lot of tutorial about accessing EDL mode in youtube.
If you are not able to do it, please let the service center do it for you.
