Sorry my bad English

Thanks for this tutorial ?? @djeloy

Thx! This is great
Could anyone point me to a guide on how to unlock the bootloader? Also is it possible to relock the bootloader without evidence? Point is to keep warranty intact.
cheers

this would be really interesting! on P8 and Mate 8 it was possible to unlock and relock with DC-Unlocker and bootloader did not show "RELOCKED", instead it showed "LOCKED" like never unlocked before. i hope this also works on the P9. maybe some brave one could try this.
in response to my e-mail i sent to DC-Unlocker support i got the following answer:

Hello,
Download this HCU tool https://files.dc-unlocker.com/share.html?v=share/B94BAEFE0A754B33AD2D62DBFC609355 detect phone on it and try to read bootloader code from there.

It seems to be simple guide, but...First question-how i can unlock bootloader on P9, to get that guide work???
Thanks!

DC-unlocker has already support for p9 unlocking. or maybe e-mail huawei like on the last models.

i got already payed unlock code for bootloader, but if i try to unlock with fastboot oem unlock (and my unlock code),
i got always error msg - "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.015s"
What could be here wrong?

no problem... i know i've done it before... struggled for hours with other phones... and then was like duh.......

If the phone is rooted will this also unlock it from the network?
UK.
02 selling the phone for £369.99 which is way cheaper than £449 from Huawei or CarphoneW.
thus tempted to buy and then root IF this will also unlock phone?
or..
how would I simply unlock the phone for any network ?

Hello all, i Unlock the BL of my phone, but now, i have a message, in orange letter say to me that my hone can't be trusted. What that message ?
sorry for my poor english)

would it be also possible to just boot the twrp (fastboot boot twrp.img) instead on flashing it? for rooting with supersu it should be enough to flash it once with a bootet twrp and the original recovery would be intact. this would be better for OTAs so we don`t have to revert every time to stock recovery.
also interesting would be the fastboot commad to backup the original recovery (and maybe the other partitions too)!
edit: just booting twrp does not work, you have to flash it.
what do we have to do for a OTA update? unroot with supersu and flash back stock recovery?

Has anyone tried this way? http://www.sadroid.com/how-to-root-huawei-p9-in-5-minutes/
Is there any roms made yet?

just a heads up I hear O2 phones are usually bootloader locked

So with this dc unlocker tool, can I relock the bootloader without leaving evidence of it being unlocked? Seems like the most efficient method to me...

Bootloader unlocked and network unlocked are two separate things.

I didn't say they were the same?
Phones from O2 usually have bootloaders that are permanently locked, with no way to unlock
Which I was drawing the person's attention too, as this method requires an unlocked bootloader for example.

Okay, I thought you were replying specifically to the OP's query.

Relock bootloader

Hi everyone, I am selling my phone and would like to relock the phone and avoid having that message that appears every time I rebooot the phone..
Is it possiile to relock the phone without problems?
Could someone kindly show me how.
Thanks
Cheers

Make sure you flashed a full stock RUU first, just to make sure the software is absolutely original. Then you can do it via fastboot oem lock in download mode.

Hello friends,
I wanted to see if it worked.
I also want relock Bootloader. I have read that it can come to a software brick.
Thanks

what ever you do make sure you put on the original rom on, i made the mistake of doing it when I had a patched boot file and now it wont boot.
I'm not panicing just yet as from reading up I can just flash it using the SD card method. but i got to wait till I get home as i havent got a 16/32GB sd card with me.

Thank you.
just to be sure, this is what I need to do?
1. put an original RUU on your microSD card and rename it 2Q55IMG.zip. Then open the download mode and confirm the flashing.
2. then use "Fastboot OEM Lock" in download mode to lock the bootloader.
Did I understand it correctly?
Thanks

Yes, those instructions are correct.
Although I'm not entirely sure that will remove the message you're looking to remove but I might be wrong. Hopefully I am cause I intend to do the exact same thing as you.
Let me know how it goes

Thank you ,
But would be nice if someone could confirm, who has already done so with success ....

Can confirm this is the way to do it, but make sure you put a stock rom on first as it doesn't like it if your boot is patched.
The message is phone is RELOCKED after its all done

HELP!!!
Hello again,
I have a problem. I have the
2Q55IMG_IMAGINE_UHL_O80_SENSE10GP_HTC_Europe_1.30.401.2_Radio_sdm845-000201b-1807311356_release_528110_signed_2_4.zip
renamed 2Q55IMG.zip on the SD card and flashed. I have UHL (Single SIM) HTC_034.
Then i use "Fastboot OEM Lock" in download mode to lock the bootloader.
I confirm the query with Yes.
After that I have a bootloop, can't get out of it...
What can I do?

Did it boot into the rom before you tried to relock the bootloader. Also I wonder if the rom you used was to early. I used 1.53.401 when I did it. I assume that is the same rom for single / dual sim htc_034 models.
I would be getting a more uptodate rom and reflash again via sd card method

right, just download the 1.21.401.4 and try it...

it worked with RUU 1.21401.4. Apparently the RUU 1.30.401.2 is faulty. ;o)

[Guide] Unlocking the bootloader

The Nokia 7.2, surprisingly, comes with an unlockable bootloader. The information is shared by TechMesto and I am just re-using it to create this guide.
Notes:
Unlocking the bootloader may void the device's warranty.
All existing data on the device will be erased.
To unlock:
Update: Nokia has disabled the unlock ability with the December MR. You can only unlock if you downgrade your phone to an old release first. You can get it at Nokia Care or by buying remote flashing services.
Before you start: Make sure that you have platform-tools downloaded on your PC. You need to open a CMD or Terminal window in the folder where you have saved the platform-tools, unless you have installed them system-wide.
• First of all, enable Developer Options by tapping 7 times on BuildID in "About phone".
• Then go to developer options and enable OEM Unlocking option.
• Now reboot the phone into bootloader/fastboot mode. You can use the adb command:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
or else use hardware keys to reboot to bootloader mode.
• Make sure the phone is detected in fastboot mode. Then send the OEM unlocking command:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
• Confirm the unlock on the phone.

I am on a Nokia 7.2, a dual-sim variant with 6GB RAM and 128 GB ROM. The model name is TA-1196.
I am currently having issues with this method, whenever I try to flash unlock, prior to the V1.160 update, the fastboot will report back saying "Write to device failed (unknown error)".
If anyone would enlighten me I would be happy to hear.
Edit: Currently on build number 00WW_1_060
Edit 2.0: Works after updating to build 00WW_1_160. Seems Nokia enabled this method by mistake. Who knows?

Hi, looks like you were initially doing flash unlock instead of flashing unlock? And since there was nothing to flash, it failed.

I was using flashing, and as my edit has said, it seems the option to unlock the bootloader was only enabled after version 160.

That's okay, but the output you got wasn't appropriate for that command. If the unlock support isn't allowed it will say "flashing unlock is not allowed". Or in case the bootloader isn't including that command at all, it will say "Unknown command".
I might be wrong too, but your output isn't something i've seen on any of the phones i've owned, whether unlockable or non-unlockable. That output is what I usually get when the command is not proper, or the drivers aren't properly installed or the fastboot device isn't properly responding. Rebooting to bootloader should usually fix it. At least it does on other Nokia and Sharp phones.

I was curious too, it kicked me off the bootloader screen when I was doing that on version 060, but it seems all is well now

You can use TWRP or patched image to root the 7.2

Can confirm that it is still unlockable. Got 2 of them today from Argos in the UK (Scotland). They are on 00WW_1_130 with security batch from 2019/08/05.
Only thing I had to do was enable internet and reboot to get the option to stop being greyed out.

Just got mine today and it forced a system update upon activation. I was unable to unlock the bootloader.

I know they planned to lock it down ; however were you using the most recent fastboot (platform-tools). I know I had issues with not having most current versions.

Think we may be out of luck then, but one last suggestion. I noticed when reading through the thread on user indicated they were using "flash" instead of "flashing" when trying to unlock the bootloader.
I know I personally did the same thing at first. Did anyone confirm that "flashing" was used?
I know the older methods used flash. Just asking.

unlocking bootloader for Alcatel 1B

I have an alcatel 1b which I am trying to install Magisk and TWRP on (any decent guides on that would be appreciated).
I'm told I first need to unlock the bootloader.
I am on a mac so I have installed ADB via homebrew
If I run
Code:
adb devices
, the device shows up.
I then run
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
and the device boots up into a screen which says "fastboot mode" at the top
I then try
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
and get
Code:
FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
I tried
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
and
Code:
fastboot oem unlock-go
and
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_code
and get the same response.
I also tried
Code:
ADB fastboot flashing unlock
and got
Code:
ADB: unknown command fastboot
If I enter recovery mode and then select "enter fastboot" I get a different screen with big red text saying "fastbootd" at the top.
If I then try
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
I get
Code:
FAILED (remote: 'Command not supported in default implementation')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Anybody know what I'm doing wrong/what I can do to get past this?

Same issue here!?

same here its because the bootloader is not unlocked and queries all say it is we need a backup or pull of someones boot.img to make a magisk boot img for our particular phone (seoul tct alcatel 5002s 1b) greatly appreciated if i could get a copy of that

To get Fastboot working try to use Alcatel's USB Driver
Download Alcatel USB Driver for Windows (Latest Driver)
Download the latest and original Alcatel USB Driver to connect any Alcatel Smartphone and Tablets to the Windows Computer quickly.

I'm also having the exact same issue. Anyone have a solution yet?

Try fastboot flashing unlock-critical, I'm sceptical of it'll work

this is a goid phone to remove bloatware ob and use it for simple things, like an MP3 player. can someone pull the boot.img or show me where i can learn how to do it myself? and how would i patch it with Magisk?

i may just be a newbie, but doesnt putting the device in download mode let you flash anything? could i be able to flash majisk and obtain root while in download mode? or flash TWRP?

I am hoping to unlock the bootloader and use any customer recovery like TWRP or orangefox. Also Alcatel 1b 5002s (Canada) firmware would greatly appreciate if some one can help?

Its not yet possible to unlock the bootloader. For the past year i worked hard to figure this phone out. All of that lead to this
new link down below, the original file had alcatel protection not removed causing imei loss
that file contains firmware, flash tools and has intstructions on how to restore a lost imei.
Hope it helps you. You can also try to look at the bootloader file and try to unlock the phone.

I have noticed that in other devices they manage to unlock the bootloader through the EDL mode, who removes and needs to perform Test Point or needs more than that, for example a special EDL cable may be necessary, this morning I was trying to backup my Stock ROM with the Inferno Unitool, the funny thing is that it recognized the port but I don't know, it seemed that something else was missing, in the end I ended up flashing the @KashiNEC ROM with the guide of your audit. I'm still interested in installing GSI to at least get an upgrade to A12, I won't give up in the meantime.

For now its is not possible to unlock. Alcatel/TCL have clearly thought of someone dumping the system and have taken measures. boot partition doesnt contain the usual "unlock" stuff and bootloader seems to be modified and needs to be signed for the phone to accept it. The only thing you can do is upgrade to the newer russian version of the firmware by changing traceability.bin. But theres a little bit of hope. The bootloader makes a few references to a "secret key" and that it needs to be updated. If we can somehow get the secret key, we can unlock

This device is full of secrets everywhere, it obviously looks like a safe.

Interesting discovery. I think i got how to unlock bootloader now. There is a hidden app on this device called TCL TOKEN. It enables you to unlock bootloader, but requires a valid connection. I couldnt get it to connect

I'm in the same situation. It seems that something else is missing or that service is disabled.

For a moment I thought it was my connection or that I was doing something wrong.

General Got my P12/TB-Q706F from china and it came preinstalled with the International ROW ROM

Just an interesting thing since I haven't seen anyone here with one, and it seems if you try to install the ROW image on most chinese TB-Q706F it shows an incompatible software error.
Got mine from what seems to be the official Lenovo store from aliexpress, it came preinstalled with the ROW image thats publicly available, bootloader is locked, and Widevine is L1.
The box and all instructions inside were in chinese, what probably means there is a software way to remove the region restrictions.

Haven't tried yet, just received it, will play with it later and will try to update it.

Someone else received one of these and it wouldn't OTA. Keep us in the loop.

There is an ota, i paused it because I want to root the device first, after rooting Im gonna try applying the ota.

Well that's great news!
I will try and request that mine is also Flashed to the ROW ROM.

An interesting thing about this tablet, I was having some dificulty unlocking the bootloader, the steps that most people are using to unlock the chinese version doesn't work, getting the sn.img file from the ZUI unlock site and trying to "fastboot flash unlock sn.img" will return an error saying that you cant flash on a locked device, "fastboot oem unlock" and "fastboot oem unlock-go" doesnt work as well.
After some time messing with the fastboot commands I found out the the tablet responds with the "fastboot flashing unlock" and only on normal fastboot and not fastbootd, you dont even need the sn.img. I successfully unlocked the tabled, and then used a magisk patched boot.img from the ROW file, all went well, and to my surprise, the device did not lose widevine L1.

Can you report the build number of your ROM and whether the security center opens?

Just an interesting thing since I haven't seen anyone here with one, and it seems if you try to install the ROW image on most chinese TB-Q706F it shows an incompatible software error.
Got mine from what seems to be the official Lenovo store from aliexpress, it came preinstalled with the ROW image thats publicly available, bootloader is locked, and Widevine is L1.
The box and all instructions inside were in chinese, what probably means there is a software way to remove the region restrictions.

I'll be getting mine back from Giztop eventually. They've said they can flash Global ROM but it's not as stable. As long as it can OTA and has widevine L1 I'll ask them to flash that for me. I'll report back.

That mean it is a real international ROM from TB-Q706F?

Sory for not replying, was on vacation and didn't bring my tablet with me.

Try finding where the ota downloads to. You may be able to manual install. Does it download and fail? This must be what Giztop were talking about when they said the Global ROM is not as stable on the Chinese tablet.
Or could this be to do with you being rooted?
