Trying to unlock the bootloader on my HTC U11, but fastboot isn't recognizing the device (fastboot devices returns no serial number and fastboot oem get_identifier_token doesn't work)
I have tried Minimal ADB and Fastboot, ADB and Fastboot Platform tools from the Android Developer site, and I've even tried the fastboot binaries on HTCDev.com. Any suggestions?

did you go to developer options and enable oem unlocking, and if you are with verizon there no setting to enable, you are SOL.

It's a network unlocked U11 purchased straight from HTC. I enabled OEM unlocking and made sure I had updated SDK tools.

Hi,
I got into a frustrating situation, I installed Oneplus OTA update after that phone is stuck in bootloop, only thing I can access is fastboot, after reading many articles, I found that unlocking bootloader can fix my problem.
But unlocking bootloader has become worst nightmare in OnePlus one, when I run # sudo fastboot oem unlock, it will reboot phone and goes into 1+ logo, then I reboot the phone again boot into bootloader and situation is still the same bootloader is still locked.
I also tried OnePlus toolkit, onplus toolbox and oneplus tool for linux, nothing is unlocking the bootloader.
Phone is not enabled for adb (debugging mode).
adb shows "offline" mode while phone in bootloop logo.
is there any way I can atleast force the phone to unlock boot, any help is appreciated?
I am a linux user, but I aslo tried in windows, samething.
Thanks
I think you need to sit down and re-read the guide on how to unlock your bootloader because you're not having a good understanding on what you're supposed to do.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632 Read that thread and adjust accordingly to Linux unless you do it on a Windows-based machine.

Hi,
Thanks for reply, I have followed the complete guide to unlock bootloader, I updated the android sdk to the latest with android drivers.
Find the attachment how I have done that, but still the bootloader is locked.
In device status it shows that device temperted: true, is there any way I can change that to false using fastboot command?,
maybe that is the thing preventing me to unlock the bootloader.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks
Dani
I only used 15 second adb installer on my PC for adb drivers. That way I don't copy paste files into SDK folder.
Anyways fastboot OEM device-info gives back tamper true and what is the other flag?
Make sure u don't put in typo like your op "ulock" lol fastboot OEM unlock should bring up wipe options on your phone :s

Hi ek,
screen shots are attached with the reply to zephiK's message (all flags can been seen), however, fastboot oem unlock doesnt bring me wipe option (though I am ok to wipe).
Dani
After the fastboot OEM unlock command look at the phone, that is where the wipe stuff appears. Or it should.

Try turning off USB Debugging in Settings/Developer Options. If you don't have Developer Options, go to About Phone and tap on the build number around 8 times. Then go back to settings and into Developer Options and disable USB Debugging. This could also be some kind of driver issue (if you're using Windows) or a Linux issue (if you're using Linux)

My MIUI version is 7.5.2 (Chinese Stable) . I want to unlock the bootloader and flash custom rom like sMIUI. Tried the official way to unlock and i got the sms with the verification key but failed while unlocking at 50% which is very frustrating. Would be grateful if anyone please help me in details cause i have less idea about flashing any mobile phone.
Someone has created a thread about the process (link below) but it says it won't work with the higher MIUI versions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/general/guide-unlocking-mi4c-bl-verification-t3336779
Please help me...
I unlocked 7.5.2 (not china version).
You can try the last 3 steps in the guide you linked. :
Reboot into fastboot mode (Power + Vol Down)
Command: fastboot oem unlock -> at this point you should have an unlocked bootloader
Now optionally install TWRP and subsequently CM 12.1 and enjoy (see respective linkes in the requirements for a howto) - TWRP: fastboot flash recovery <twrp>.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then check if unlock was successful :
fastboot oem device-info
When did you receive the SMS notification? It may take a couple more days for you to be able to actually unlock. Not your fault, blame Xiaomi.

Can you please tell me in details how i install sMiui or other stock roms? Cause i don't have any idea u talking about. I have very less knowledge about the thing.
I used the same method like mesziman mentioned, worked great for me.
But you should try the developer version ! Some guys had same problem with stable...
Edit: Links i can´t give you (maybe someone else complete) but first of all you should get all and the latest driver. I think for that you could install the xiaomi suite from en.miui or miflash, don´t remember well.
Then you have to unlock bootloader like written before by mesziman. I used for that a adb program on my pc, don´t remember the exact name.
Go into fastboot, connect phone with pc. -> commands. Then you unlocked bootloader.
Now you can flash the recovery with for example odin (pc program) and thats it.
(install rom)
But look for a step by step guide. There is written exactly what to do.

I have my tmo oneplus 8 sim unlocked and checked "OEM Unlocked" and "USB debugging". When I executed the command " fastboot.exe oem get_unlock_code" in Fastboot mode, following https://support.oneplus.com/app/ans...-bootloader-for-oneplus-6t-(t-mobile-edition). On Windows, it keeps saying "Waiting for any device". Any steps I missed?

I followed the instructions here: https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/op-x-in-fastboot-mode-unlock-oem-waiting-for-device.1010279/.
Just want to share. in case some one else has the same issues.

Hi while upgrading on Android 12 my oneplus device software is uninstalled and no i do not have any installed software and fastboot mode is locked but device is detecting in fastboot.
Is there any way to unlock bootloader or reinstall the software without fastboot?

So when you try to boot, it just goes straight to fastboot right away? If so, and bootloader is locked, you need MSM. You can try fastboot oem unlock command, but if you don't have unlock oem ticked in developer options, I don't think they're is anything else you can to

You installed with MSM in EDL mode? Might have to do it again. Then when it's finished boot to the system and enable developer options then tick oem unlock in the options then go to bootloader and type fastboot oem unlock. You can't install a12 with MSM afaik anyway.
