Error message with Windroid 3.1 in getting unlock code, any welcome please.

Using Windroid 3.1 to unlock moto g 2015 osprey, drivers installed and works perfectly on wife phone. On trying to unlock my phone i get error message.
Houston, we have a problem
An error has occured! a log file has been placed in the Logs folder.
The same error occurs whether oem locking is on or not. Also i am having communication fails when using fastboot, yet the phone is recognised and read to but not written.
Where would i find this log file please and any help offered i would be grateful.

Try adb and fastboot instead of Windroid

As I tried to explain in my post , this is not possible as the phone will not write the data sent. Thinking this is why windroid returns an error.

Did you enable OEM Unlocking the Developer Options menu? Still required...
I would also recommend doing it manually, the commands are easy and the process is simple... if something goes wrong you can see exactly what fails. Tools like Windroid are not really useful for simple tasks like this.

done oem unlock in developer options but not manually as im unsure how. please elaborate.

Gotta be 50 tutorials on-line, there is only one real, official way...
You need at least fastboot (you can get it from Minimal ADB & Fastboot)
Then follow the Moto official method which even using a tool you have to go through anyway to get the tokem

So you have OEM Unlocking enabled in Developer Options and fastboot is still complaining?
What model and variant? Is this a carrier locked phone or a Moto retail version?

How to safely unlock the bootloader P9?

How to safely unlock the bootloader P9 ? Please for detailed instructions. Thanks.

I think people used DC unlocker..

So has anyone tried to relock the bootloader? It would be nice to know if there is a method to relock that can't be detected, so our warranty says intact. I've read that dc unlocker can do that but I've never seen confirmation.

I've just checked too on dc unlocker site and P9 results like the last added supported model with this features:
- direct unlock
- read bootloader code
- read unlock codes
- unlock FRP

So I just unlocked my Bootloader successfully with the DC unlocker tool and wanted to share the process with you guys. If you live in Europe and tried to get your unlock code directly from Huawei you may have run into some problems but this method works. My P9 is a EVA-L09 (europe single sim version).
Do this at your own risk.
You need this tool: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/ I did it with the most recent version as of now (V1.00.1290) which is the first that supports the P9.
Basically follow the instructions in the tool to get your device connected, it's straightforward. Then you need to make an account and _buy_ credits to read your unlock code. You need 4 credits so it will cost you 4 euro. This sucks, but it's no scam or anything. It works (as I just did it).
Just log in through the tool with the data provided after making an account and go to Unlocking -->"read bootloader code". Push the button and after a few secs your code appears. WRITE IT DOWN AND/OR COPY IT TO A .txt or something
[e] important: before you unlock/relock your phone or flash a custom recovery make sure that you go to developer settings and tick "enable OEM unlock". Missing this could lead to brick in certain situations, for more info read this article and do additional research.
Once you have the code you can start the unlocking process. This is the same for people that got their unlock code through other methods.
-Disconnect and power off your P9.
-Push volume down and connect it to your Computer, when the screen turns on you are in fastboot mode.
-Open any ADB/Fastboot tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 <- i used this) and write:
"fastboot devices"
your device should be detected. Then write:
"fastboot oem unlock XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" )X being the unlock code you got from DC unlocker)
It gives you a warning about warranty etc you have to comply and your bootloader is unlocked. As it warns you on the screen this will do a factory reset.
If you ever want to relock the bootloader put your phone in fastboot mode and type
"fastboot oem relock XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" the bootloader will be relocked but as far as we know it's detectable that it was unlocked before.
Hope this helps, cheers

Thanks! I just unlocked my bootloader. It didn't work at first but this was because I had forgotten to enable OEM unlock in the settings: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/enable-oem-unlock

The phone could become less secure, however after unlocking you should be able to install a modified recovery (twrp)

Do you still get automatic updates through the phone with an unlocked boot loader? I'm keen to put an English rom on my Chinese P9

Do you get that in the DC unlocker or when you actually type the unlock command in fastboot? DC unlocker is just for reading the bootloader code not the actual unlocking. If that makes sense.
Also don't forget to "enable OEM unlock" in the dev settings.

I got the codes from DC unlocker, it's the response from fastboot oem unlock <code>. DC unlocker gave me four codes, I tried all of them. OEM Unlock is enabled in settings.
I have read elsewhere that the O2 handsets are bootloader locked, but mine came from the carphone warehouse, who usually send out carrier-free handsets (thus not O2 specific). Unfortunately I don't have a microsim from another network to test this, though there doesn't seem to be any O2 branding or apps.
EDIT: I've discovered the problem, I clicked "Read unlock codes" rather than "Read bootloader code" so the codes were obviously incorrect.

So even if we use dc unlocker to unlock our bootloader they can detect it???

DC unlocker doesn't actually unlock the bootloader, it's just an alternate way to get your specific unlock code. The actual unlocking is done with a command line.

I know it doesn't unlock it and only provides an unlock code but on other huawei phones it can relock the bootloader and leave the status locked instead of relocked.

I've searched for that myself and found a post where someone said DC unlocker can relock the bootloader leaving the status "locked" instead of "relocked". But no confirmation if that is detectable or not and it was from a different device, so no guarantees it will work for the P9... So I guess we don't have a definitive answer how this affects your warranty and it may very well depend on the country you live in, as it usually does with warranty issues.
The official Huawei page states the following (link):
"Huawei will record your unlock request information; for software and hardware failures arising as a result of unlocking the bootloader, Huawei repair centers can provide repair services charged at the standard rate for repair work outside the scope of the warranty."
The way I interpret this it means that you only lose warranty if the damage is directly related to something you did by having the bootloader unlocked. If you have an unlocked bootloader and the camera module dies within the warranty period you should be fine unless they can prove that it died because of something you flashed through the unlocked bootloader. But as I said I think this is handled case by case and depends on your local warranty law.

I have an o2 P( bought in o2 store, used DC unlocker after some faffing with installing hisuite before DC unlocker would recognise my phone.
Got the unlock code unlocked bootloader, and restored 'most' of my data via the hisuite backup feature
I'm not doing anything else with it until I have all relevant files to recover from a sketchy flash or whatnot

I think this might be redundant, yesterday I contacted Huawei through their customer support form on their international page with my IMEI and S/No, and about 10hrs later got my bootloader unlock code with all the usual warnings about the warranty. I'm currently at work so I can't yet confirm if the code works or not but will update this post in a few hrs when I get home.
I was genuinely surprised that the person who contacted me via email was actually a finnish customer service agent, not some google translate-bot or anything.
My device is EVA-L09 and I live in Finland.

Doogee x6 pro mtk 6375 bootloader unlock MM

Greetings
I received a cheap android MTK 6735 (shipped with MM android 6)
I have searched high and low and found nothing regarding unlocking the bootloader.
I assume the bootloader is locked. If I try to oem unlock I get to the yes/no option but phone freezes and I am unable to choose yes option.
All adb drivers etc installed correctly. I cannot root or flash custom recovery using sp tools
Any pointers? May device specific bootloader unlock code.
Any help appreciated

Unable to unlock bootloader please help

I have old mi account which i used to unlock my redmi note 4 which i replaced with Note 7 Pro.
So i used the same account on Note 7 pro and tried to go to miui unlock website and it redirects me to the download page. I also tried to unlock bootloader but it failed and it gives unlock error-1.
Then i created new Mi account and logged in on Note 7 pro with this new account, but again when i visited miui unlock site it redirects me to download page instead of filling form page.
Please someone help i need to unlock bootloader.

Go to developer options and turn on 'OEM unlocking'. While you are there, go to 'Mi unlock status' and follow the instructions EXACTLY as stated. Use your old Mi Account (which you used to unlock RN4). Download Mi Unlock from the download page and run the software. Follow the steps EXACTLY as stated.
Make sure you have adb drivers installed and working correctly, and also that you have permission to unlock the bootloader.
If you are an active miui forum member (diamond or above) you can unlock your bootloader immediately.

before unlocking you should add the account in the mi unlock status option.

It doesn't work that way anymore (no more forms), first go to your developer settings and enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging, now go to the Mi Unlock option and bind the Mi account, now download the MiUnlock tool and right click and run as administrator, now it should detect your device, if not click on the settings icon in MiUnlock and select install drivers, now once the device is detected, click on unlock device, it would stop at 99% and give you a waiting time of 360hrs or more or less after the waiting period (it usually takes only 7 days) try unlocking again, this time it would be successful but it would format your data so better take a backup

A problem with Unlocking a phone's bootloader

Hello everyone, I've recently tried to root my Redmi Note 9 (merlinnfc) The OEM in Dev options is turned on, and the only problem is, there's no way to fix the " FAILED (remote: 'Token verification failed') " error message.
I have everything i need, there's the magisk zip on the phone, and i have the TWRP image for it. ( un-official, there's not official TWRP image for 9+)
Yes, i do have platform-tools, and the vbmeta/vb images in case i accidentally brick my phone.
The only thing i need to do is unlock the boot loader.
Any way's to unlock it? PS: I've tried MiUnlock, my country's unssuported. (It dosen't work. No verification message, turns out my region isn't supported)
I don't trust any "One Click Root" apps, since they're either malware, or unsupported. And they might brick my phone anywyas.
Mi Version: 12..0.5 (Most Recent Security Patch, most likely not any firmware patches, so the fastboot method should work)\
Best Regards - FriendlyChemist

I don't understand what you mean by your region is unsupported, care to elaborate?
I recommend trying MI Unlock again, using the latest one might work.
See this post for details.
If it still doesn't work then follow this thread here as stated by the user:
Goodmorning, i succeeded to unlock (appearantly) with Mi Unlock Tool. Don't have to wait 3 days, because i have permission with my Mi account right away. This time.
But i overlooked the simple solution. I put the Mi Unlock Tool in a folder in C:
Before it was still in folder Download with a link to my dashboard. That did not work. In folder in C: it worked immediately.

It should work fine if you have the credentials necessary or waiting for couple of days.
Lastly should anything go awry in the process or you're really desperate you can view this thread. The cable method works better than the test point method.
Hopefully i helped.

You can try to register on miui. Tell them you are developer. You need unlock code. It is not necessary that your country is not supported. You can get unlock code. Some Mi model are ready for unlock.
