[Q] wifi Xoom 3.1 unlocking bootloader error...

I've followed all the guides to a T. and my SDK is able to run nicely. However, once I've made contact w/ my device in 'usb debugging mode', tested the connection w/ "adb devices" in command prompt, and set the device to bootloader w/ the "adb reboot bootloader" command, and finally I give it the command to "fastboot oem unlock", I get an unknown error!! Please help. I have all the path variables set, and my SDK is running good, and has all the newest updates.
This is a link to a video I made of the problem. Please watch. It'll help if you can see the problem! just copy and paste - youtube.com/watch?v=2bROUZh7GRI
Thanks for your responses. I hope they come quickly!

just copy and paste the command from the OP's instructions. I used the new Clockwork in the thread and just renamed it... which method are you using. I just did mine last Thursday with no issues. I used this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078019
HTML:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img
fastboot reboot
Make sure you have the latest fastboot.exe and if all else fails start from the beginning again. Now you are sure your fastboot is unlocked....

Did you try to do the fastboot unlock again

How did you manage to get unlock to work? Perhaps if you gave us more info on what you did?

[Q] OnePlus One - Unable to unlock bootloader again after relocking

Hi Guys,
Hope to get some help here.
So i unlocked the bootloader of my one plus one and installed supersu + Twrp recovery. All worked fine until i decided to relock the bootloader.
I've put the device into fastboot mode and executed "fastboot oem lock" with twrp recovery still in there.
Now i am trying to unlock the bootloader again using "fastboot oem unlock" to be able to flash the stock recovery and having issues.
output of commands:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem unlock
...
OKAY [ 0.004s]
finished. total time: 0.005s
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>
After this it boots straight to twrp recovery. I then hit reboot system and go back to fastboot mode and run the below:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery
.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (12260 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.389s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Device not unlocked cannot flash or erase)
finished. total time: 0.404s
Anyone has an idea how i can unlock the bootloader again ?
Thanks
Vik

Would it let you reflash the stock factory image thru fastboot? Maybe if you could do that it would let you unlock again. And it would give you stock recovery.
Or else what about the option in developer settings to update the stock cm recovery when installing an update. Maybe you could install an official update thru TWRP and get stock recovery back?
Just throwing out ideas, hope you figure it out

I've documented ths same issue describe here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/locked-bootloader-twr-rooted-t2820341
The solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/mod-reset-unlock-tamper-bit-t2820912

Hi YrrchSebor,
Thanks for the reply.. I already tried all that, even using adb sideload and keep getting same error as mentioned above. I'll try the solution lemonspeakers suggested later today and post the outcome.

Be careful if you updated your phone to XNPH30O OTA,
!!! Warning !!!
In the NEW OTA CM11S XNPH30O, the bootloader (aboot) img size changed....
We request all not to apply the unlocker scripts on the new bootloader , until we confirm/find the new bit position.
It might brick your phone and corrupt bootloader...

It won't work.. do not try it if you updated to XNPH30O using the OTA.

I ran this command:

But the next step does not work:
Code:
It will boot your phone into recovery once from the recovery image
stored in your PC temporarily
then you can flash the zip either by sideload or from sdcard...
I got:

That's because you can't boot a recovery with the recent bootloader unless you're unlocked.

Can't unlock bootloader

I have a OPO Chinese 16GB version. When I bought it, it was running CM11S(Seller flashed it). Now I'm trying to wipe my phone and install cm-11.0-XNPH38R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip on it. I have installed ADB Drivers on my Windows computer and when I type adb devices it shows me the serial number of the phone. And also when I type in fastboot devices, it shows me the serial number. But I can't get it to unlock the boot loader. When I type in the command, fastboot oem unlock, I can see the following message.
...
OKAY [ 0.002s]
finished. total time: 0.004s
But it does nothing after that. Even when I reboot, I can see all my previous apps, files etc. are there. It doesn't make any change. How can I get this phone to unlock the bootloader and allow me to install a custom recovery and let me flash the above file I have mentioned?

That means that the device was already unlocked. Where did you buy yours? Ali Express? Mine's from there and I have gone through what you're going through right now. No worries. Bootloader is already unlocked so you can root it already.

Trying to root with Android 8.0

So I've been using this guide to finally try and root my Pixel on 8.0: {apparently I can't post links yet, but google "how to root google pixel droidviews" and it's the first link}
I'm able to get adb to recognize the phone, however, when I go to use the command "fastboot boot recovery twrpOreo.img", the console says "cannot boot 'recovery': No such file or directory". So then I did some googling and tried the command "fastboot flash recovery twrpOreo.img" to which the console spits out:

All the while the screen on the phone says:

So it says the device is locked but I triple checked, and I unlocked the bootloader under developer settings? Can anyone help me out here?

There is no recovery partition on a Pixel. It's now part of the boot partition. Make sure unlock is toggled in Dev settings. Remember, it will wipe your data. Then

You skipped a step. You also need to issue the fastboot command to unlock it.
This will WIPE your phone. No way around that.

This is why you should unlock the phone as soon as you buy it.

So maybe a dumb question but I'm new to all this. Is there any way I could completely backup a clone of my phone's data, and then restore it after root, so that everything is just as it was, except now I have root privileges?

No. You can do this once you are rooted and have TWRP but not before. Just back up your important data and go for it.

I just simply do not understand what could be wrong here.
In fastoot mode I get "device - State unlocked"
As you already saw, it seems the device is completely unlocked. What could be wrong ?
Also, some steps before, I get that :

fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target fastboot
Click to expand...

I suspect switching to the automated in Windows won't change much.
It is strange because I am able to perform these steps without problems, ones the ones after seem to not work :
./fastboot flash boot boot.img
./fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
./fastboot flash modem modem.img
./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
./fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

I might be doing something wrong ? Be located in the wrong folder or something ? For instance, when I type these commands it does not work if I write the "./" before fastboot, it tells me

bash: ./fastboot: No such file or directory

My phone is a Oneplus Nord and I am using the advised Oxygen OS ROM provided in the tutorial I linked at the beginning of my message.
I hope you'll be able to get me out of this as I unfortunately can't figure out how to solve this problem on my own.

Yes, that makes sense.
Fastboot should be located at /usr/bin/fastboot. Since you're not in that directory, ./fastboot won't work. (This ./ means: "Look at the current working directory for the command fastboot." If it cannot find fastboot there or it isn't a shell command, it will throw an error.)
However, since you didn't install fastboot globaly, you have to address its exact path inside your platform-tools folder. If fastboot is not in Partition-image folder, ./ won't work.
Can't help you with your main issue though.
Edit: You seem to have fastboot installed globally though:
@pop-os:~/Desktop/platform-tools_r31.0.2-linux/platform-tools/Partition-image$ fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target fastboot
Click to expand...

So my first explaination is valid.

Thank you for clarifying that. I understand the issue there. Which is a non-issue indeed since I already installed it globally. But well, it at least teaches me how Linux work.
Of course however, the main issue remains that's for sure.

There is no "fastboot" to boot into. Instead, type

I found the solution, you have to do fastboot reboot fastboot which reboots you to fastbootd instead of fastboot. There you can flash critical partitions without issue.

Hi,
As the command recommanded everywhere :
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
had never worked for me in the bootloader environment,
I have to reboot i my rom embedded recovery in order to flash the file (apply update menu) through the :
fastbootD
To sum up :
#From Android (while having all prerequisite done ie bootloader unlocked...)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
#From the bootloader I choose to boot to recovery and I get to the rom custom recovery
#In the custom recovery, I choose the menu "apply update" that will lead me to the fastbootD mode
#I type the appropriate command to flash the persist partition
Code:
fastboot flash persist "c:\your_path_to_your_persist_file\persist.img"
#Then I simply reboot the phone
Code:
fastboot reboot
PS : Initially flash the OxygenOS (OOS) 11, then apply the CRdroid Android v8 custom rom (based on Android 12)

I did it similar like solid-snake:
In my case I also had no access to fastbootD
The solution came randomly when I flashed back the first part from my lineageOS package:dtbo.img, vbmeta.img and the recovery.img --> after that my phone naturally booted in a fastbootD mode from the lineageOS package.
I modified the flash-all.bat from the stock ROM fastboot flash package:
I removed the line with the reboot command, because I'm already in the fastbootD mode.
Then I ran the modified flash-all.bat and everything went well.

If anyone else struggles (like I did) to get the phone in EDL mode, or the "Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions" error ,even if the "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" cmd was executed, here are some hints that might help.
I tried forever on a Linux computer without any luck, so I ended up installing Windows 10 on actual hardware to finally unbrick my One Plus Nord (Avicii). Here are the most important steps, YMMV, execute at own risk:
bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks off run this cmd as admin in terminal, toggle to "on"
then install edl drivers as admin, This is where I struggled the most, I finally found an .exe file(QDLoader HS-USB Driver_64bit_Setup.exe) that I just installed and then phone showed up as it should in device manager. ("Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008," not "QUSB_BULK")
install adb and fastboot. (platform-tools)
install MSM-Download-Tool
download stock OS for use in MSM-Download-Tool program
open msm tool, if phone is not recognised try turning on and holding power pluss both volume, or just one of the volumes.
uncheck the "sha hash check" box
flash
if you get the "Sahara Communication Failed", just try again, it worked for me.
wipe
erase Windows 10 and replace with any Linux distro, tell your PC it will never happen again.
enjoy
Here are link to the EDL-drivers that worked for me. Or just do a web-search for "QDLoader HS-USB Driver_64bit_Setup.exe"
The flashing process will take over 300 seconds, be patient.
