!!SOLVED!! Brand new U11 says ***RELOCKED*** - HTC U11 Questions & Answers

Hi
I just ordered a "brand new unlocked" U11 on eBay from a decent seller which arrived in an unopened package everything fully sealed and wrapped.
I want to flash TWRP and Magisk root which I have done with my previous M9 and HTC 10, however, I'm getting ***RELOCKED*** and ***Software status: modified*** in Download mode and Bootloader before I've done anything to it - see pics.
Its arrived with Android 9 on it and June2019 Security patch and I don't get any OTA's
I'm in Australia on Telstra network.
Am I OK to unlock Bootloader via HTC dev and flash TWRP and Magisk or do I need to RUU this thing?
Thanks.

no, just unlock the bootloader as you've done before then flash twrp, then flash magisk if you want root.
be sure to go into developer options and enable oem unlock for bootloader and usb debugging(do this before flashing twrp). and also flash magisk after twrp before you boot to system.
flash-- twrp-3.3.1-0-ocn.img

Thank you for the reply! I ended up emailing a recognized dev and what you just told me is everything they said which I have done and all has worked 100%.
Thanks again for taking the time.

SAFE rooting to HUAWEI MATE 9

hi guys ,
I`ve read this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-how-to-root-mate-9-decrypt-data-t3569986
my ask : Does this rooting goes well with MHA-L29C185B172 ?
if not , then how can i root my device SAFELY ?
thanks all
one, post, no experience with rooting android phones, do NOT root this phone unless there is some important reason to.
do ALOT more reading before you even think about rooting
Thx to reply. Like the others i wanna root to have root apps in my phone ,
Thx . Wanna have apps requires root in my phone . That simple
You don't even need to decrypt if you don't want to.
Unlock Developer Options (Settings - About: tap build number until it says it's enabled)
Go to the Developer Options and enable OEM Unlocking
Unlock bootloader
Flash twrp 3.1.0
Flash SuperSU no-decrypt (https://mega.nz/#!lkV0jbYJ!b1h-5uVksvpt7rw0tRHV7Qxjwk2xkKox0w-iRsCLlbU)
Have fun.
For decryption follow the decrypt guide.
To undo root and relock (Bootloader Locked) flash a stock firmware using the Force flash guide under Guides or use firmware finder).
For Magiskv12 root you need firmware B182+

Original SuperSU 2.79 won't install. We have no loop support in kernel pre-B182. And even with support it doesn't install. The one I linked is a phh supersu hybrid. It uses phh su's method of installing, but installs SuperSU.

Hi. I just happen to come across your post and noticed you said that there is no loop support pre-B182. I have the Chinese version with B213. Some apps, like Linux on Android need, unless something has changed, loop support as well as root. Do you have a reference or a link about the loop support on this phone? Thanks!
I failed install su however still waiting for any updates

Just would like to say that it's not fair to say him that in case that the second entry said: One post on xda and he wants to root!
I think the problem is the order you gave him @ante0 (MAYBE!)
Unlock bootloader
flash TWRP
And I think he now has a BIG problem bc you DIDN'T said or forced him to go into developer settings and turn on OEM-unlock!
@nawraz did you turned on OEM-unlock in developer settings?
if you boot into fastboot mode are BOTH (bootloader and FRP = unlocked (in red letters), or and I really hoper NOT is FRP lock (in green letters)???
Maybe that is now the problem for him, not being able to flash SuperSU?
If you have luck @nawraz then try to flash TWRP 3.0.2-2 and with that SuperSU2.79
If you have root then you can install latest TWRP (3.1.0-1)
If you can't flash anything... oh oh!

He already unlocked and flashed twrp.
3.1.0 installs SuperSU fine. 3.0.3 does not.
And if oem was locked he wouldn't even be in twrp as you can't flash anything with fastboot if it is locked.
But I'll update my post in case anyone does miss to unlock oem.
Hope you don't get me wrong!
Just said that bc I had that problem 5 days ago and the only thing that helped was funky!
I had a softbrick and a reboot always kicked me into eRecovery
I just had eRecovery and fastboot!
Bootloader relocked and frp locked!
Stupid me relocked the bootloader bc I read that you then can unlock oem, then unlock bootloader again!
Well, that was a mistake!

Yeah. Only way then would be to rebrand to C636 using the DLOAD method, then rebrand back to your stock version using the Update thread under Guides. The latter requires twrp though so you'd need to rebrand first to get a working system.
To be honest I just figured he had already unlocked and flashed twrp as he was in the decrypt thread
Missing oem was an error on my side. It was long since I had to unlock oem xD

Weird. I tested with 3.1.0 a few days ago. But I guess it could have to do with builds. 3.1.0 is using kernel for B182. Maybe it's fixed if you use 3.1.0 with B182.
Oh well, good you managed to install it anyway.
Edit: I tested with the SuperSU I linked.

All I know is that it wasn't present in builds before B182.
 @st_voss is the one who found out it was added in B182 (Kernel build April. 11th probably as that's what I have on B182.).
It might be present in B181 on C636 as well, that was released 8th of May.

Anyone Willing to Help a Newbie Pixel User.

Hello guys is there anyone willing to help me out?
Im long term HTC user in the past 15 Plus years i was flshing whatever i want and im familiar with this but i switched to Pixel 2 and i want to clear for myself few things prior before to brick it.
I also read this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-walleye-t3702417
But its seems like the thread is not updated and some users mention problems with flashing Magisk etc.
Im fully Stock locked bootloader with the latest Android Pie from 5 January 2018
The Pixel i use is Google Edition worlwide version not loocked to any network etc.
The main reason to want to Bootloader unlock it is because i need the Magisk in order to be able to flash and use few of the must have for me apps that i use all the time.
1st is SAURON audio - without Magisk and TWRP this is not posible.
2nnd few additional Magisk modules that i use non stop in the past few years.
What is not clear for me is the steps and exactly the second steb with Flashing Flashing factory images?!
In HTC i need to get the bootloader unlock S-OFF is i want and flash a TWRP in this case i can flash on top Magisk so here is different and not very clear for me as well.
When im now on the latest Android version from 5 January do i need still to flash FACTORY IMAGE after unlocking the bootloader?
Is anyone willing to help to clear the things out before to mess the device.
Thanks in advance

Hi If you just want to unlock bootloader, there is no reason to flash factory image again. Just allow unlock bootloader in developer options, reboot to bootloader and run fastboot flashing unlock, this will fully wipe/factory reset your device.
Now you could boot/flash TWRP and install magisk.
When will be new monthly update available, flash it with help of this thread:

Thank you for the info.
So this mean i dont need to flash Image if im with the latest stock Version.
I prefer to stay stock just miss some Magisk modules thats why i wondering what to do.
Can i flash just a Kernel for example KiriSakura after unlock the bootloader and install TWRP just to flash Kiri Kernel with the stock rom im now and other Magisk stuffs like Sauron etc.
Thanks again
Hi exactly, if you run latest stock you havn't flash it again after bootloader unlock.
If you want to petmanently flash twrp, you have to do it before flashing magisk, othetwise you willn't be able to boot os only twrp.

[TA-1021] How to Install/Boot TWRP 3.2.3-0 (modded) for Pie and Root it

/!\DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK/!\
Recently, Nokia made us happy by fulfilling their promise to update our Nokia 6 to Android Pie. It's very exciting until you find out there is no way to root or even use TWRP on this device when Pie is installed.
Worry not, I've found a way to install TWRP and root our Nokia 6 using Magisk. Follow the guides below!
/!\ WARNING! This process requires you to unlock your Nokia 6 bootloader first. Bootloader unlock isn't officially available nor supported yet, so it is paid and MOST LIKELY you would have to downgrade your device first to Oreo with older security patch to unlock it (which requires more cash)
OK, if you are ready, proceed to next two threads for TWRP installations and root
=====================
Required files download:
• TWRP 3.2.3-0 patched for Nokia 6 Pie
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zsiTSIHyA_WyH7f-z7mxQwISlVft4aNv
• Magisk Manager 6.1.0
https://mega.nz/#!EDoy1azB!l8DKdSrpZFmxOBankQIMmbID5xjylIGizA5m0rpLxZI
• Magisk v17.1
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v17.1/Magisk-v17.1.zip
=====================
• TWRP 3.2.3-0 install or boot guide •
> To install (replaces the stock recovery)
=======================
/!\ TWRP installs on today standards' phones are strongly discouraged by the community. To be safe, always mod your Android device when your modding companion devices - be it a PC or a laptop, are nearby and connectable to your phone. After all, it's up to you to install the TWRP or not. /!\
=======================
• Download the TWRP image from the link provided in the OP.
• Put your phone into fastboot mode
• Use the " fastboot flash recovery recovery_mod.img " command
• Done!
> To just boot (preserve stock recovery)
• Download the TWRP image from the link provided in the OP.
• Put your phone into fastboot mode
• Use the " fastboot boot recovery_mod.img " command
• Done! It should be booted to TWRP now.
/!\DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK/!\
• Root guide (untested) •
• Download both the Magisk Manager apk and the Magisk installer zip from the link in OP. Place it into your phone's internal storage.
• Install the Magisk Manager apk (you have to install the Manager first)
• Boot into TWRP (guide on above thread) or reboot to recovery (if you flashed TWRP, again the guide is on above thread)
• Back up your boot partition first (strongly recommended, but not mandatory)
• Flash the Magisk installer zip
• Wipe dalvik and cache, if needed.
• Reboot
• Done!

Help: how to unlock bootloader?

Nope you can try methods to unlock bootloader but i will suggest you to buy bootloader key from techmesto .
I have purchased the key from techmesto then i unlocked my bootloader. you can run this command to unlock your phone's bootloader.
Fastboot flash unlock (key.bin)
Then fastboot oem unlock-go

You can search how to unlock bootloader of nokia 6 in search options you will know how to do it

How to unbrick you NOKIA 6 TA-1021 and 1033.

This works only if you have working Fastboot AKA Download mode and you have unlocked your bootloader .
First download this --> https://github.com/StollD/NOST/releases/download/v0.6/NOST-v0.6.exe
Its a latest one and the working one. If you have LOST LA installed just unistall it. That doesnt work at all.
Then you need to download this FIRMWARE --> https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1smpap8mB0RZNk1j_HD0IJUX5LjFzKC4a&export=download
Then istall NOST and extract ZIP file. Launch NOST and select next. Make sure you phone is connect to your pc and it is fastboot mode "download mode" and find your phone. If it does then just click next. Now select the extracted nb0 file and go next.
If i remember right there is normal and rescue install method and some other too. I use the normal method. Then just go and start the install. Every first time it do something to my phone but give me the error and did not pass the install. But when i try it again it works just fine and finish the install. Then your phone should just do a reboot and voila, you have a stock nokia firmware installed succesfull.
After i do that, and my Nokia 6 1021 start, its download first PIE version and installed. After that i can do OTA install the latest PIE version. And i still can have my fastboot a live. So if you have like i have unlocked bootloader you can flash the latest TWRP and latest stable MAGISK 19. Then you have a working ROOT your phone
I just use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Then "FASTBOOT REBOOT" and straight push volume up and power button together so long that your phone go twrp. If you fail its install stock recovery back. You can try again. I Try couple of time and i get it
Now my phone have latest PIE and latest MAGISK.
You need an unlocked bootloader for that.

NOST refuses to flash your phone if your bootloader isn't unlocked critically. The old OST would just try to flash but never make any progress which confuses inexperienced users.

Thanks man, I edited.
My phone is hard bricked.
Recently I was continuously charging my phone with power bank. One night I forgot to put my phone on charge and it got discharged fully. I tried starting it in morning but it got stucked at Nokia logo, I tried getting it into recovery mode to reset it but was not able to because i haven't connected it to power before. Afterwards I connected it to my laptop whose charger was having earthing problem and giving shocks. In between trying to put my phone into recovery mode along with connected to laptop, the current passed through my phone for 2 times. And that was the last moment i had seen my phone's screen lighted, and then full blackout.
I have taken it to service center first, the person tried installing the software on phone again and confirmed phone is being detected by PC but unable to install software. They had given only one option to change the motherboard to fix it.
Then i tried getting it repaired at local shops, where a person told me internal memory IC has been shorted. Another person at different shop tried repairing it and was also not able to fix and said lastly that motherboard is dead.
I think maybe Hardware kernel got disturbed, so is there any method to install the hardware kernel again?
have you Nokia 6 TA-1033 SS firmware rom download link?
Links are dead

question about rooting my OnePlus 7 Pro (before I do it)

I have the TMobile us gm1915 op7pro and my current firmware is 9.5.6 gm31cb
If I follow the root guides here on xda and I download OOS latest on their site is 9.5.4gm21aa and I use magisk on my phone to patch the boot.img and then root that way, will it erase my phone to where I have to start from scratch like a new phone?
To root you have to unlock the bootloader first. Unlocking the bootloader wipes everything.
