i was tried to rebrand my al00 to l29, i followed the instruction here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-rebrand-chinese-al00-mate9-to-t3554656
but i failed to complete , and it just went dead.
i cant boot to system, erecovery wont work , factory reset wont work. and i boot to fastboot mode. it says Phone relocked; FRP LOCK.
i literally cant do anything?
i paid for the dc unlocker like 15whatever , and the factory reset wont work neither.. i am desperate !
can anybody help me with this?
You should have removed all security before performing this. (Fingerprint, pin, etc). Warranty it.
So I made a big mistake and set my device back to the stock Verizon image last night and re-locked the bootloader (phone was to be sent back for warranty). I forgot to opt out of the Android Beta program and ended up letting it update and now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I'm assuming I'm SOL?
Edit: Everything is okay now I believe, rebooted to recovery and did a factory reset.
My stock Nexus 5 hardlocked today while attempting to connect to a wifi network. Upon restart, the boot-up animation took longer than usual, then displayed the 'Optimizing Apps' screen (which is not typical). It completed optimization on 5 apps, claimed to be starting Android, and then reset back to the boot-up animation, continuing the same cycle.
Unsuccessfully tried to boot into safe mode, although I can access Recovery Mode. Wiping system cache did not help. Installed ADB/Fastboot and sideloaded the original OTA without any improvement.
At this point, I'm hoping for either another path to get the device to boot or a way to extract some critical data (SMS, docs, etc.) off the device before doing a factory reset.
If the bootloader is unlocked, you could try flashing TWRP, booting into TWRP, and pulling off the data.

Sadly no, fully stock phone.
Gave up and pulled the trigger on factory reset. We'll see if it helps.
On the plus side, this incident has motivated me to unlock and root my phone, hopefully expanding my options for the next time this happens.
Yup, an unlocked bootloader is definitely a plus in these situations.
I always unlock the bootloader unless it voids the warranty on the phone. Once the warranty is over, I unlock it if possible.
Factory reset seemed to work. Now unlocked and rooted!
I think am screwed but I need help. I reset my billion capture plus smartphone using twrp. It was showing me no OS on phone so I decided to restart thinking it was a normal error. After restart the phone refused to turn on and I tried flashing but it shows bootloader is locked. I have tried everyway to unlock it but it can't be unlocked. So I came here for help. Can anyone help?????

No OS installed and it's a quadcomm device
Whenever I factory reset my phone reasons maybe because of root or going back to stock I notice that the FRP is now disabled and I can skip past the google account with the skip button. Does the OEM unlock have to do with this? My phone is a factory unlocked model of the Pixel 7 pro.
I'm a bit confused with your question... If you initiate a factory reset from the settings menu, you effectively remove the FRP link to your account. FRP is designed to prevent other methods of factory reset (like from the recovery or bootloader) when an account has already been added to the device.

Yes FRP is disabled when OEM unlocking is enabled.
