I've done the in-depth test and it's on the Fastboot screen but when I type fastboot flashing unlock in a command window it just shows me the help text for fastboot, which doesn't show any command or option for either flashing or unlock, so how can I get it to work if those aren't valid commands?
fastboot devices shows my phone, so the device is recognised.
EDIT: I'm still on Android 9 A.15. I understand that there's no unlocked for Android 10 yet.
EDIT: Nevermind. I was using adb/fastboot from the link in this guide, which is v1.3 https://www.ytechb.com/how-to-root-realme-5i-and-unlock-bootloader/
After I updated to minimal v1.43 from here it worked https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool

My problem was same. But i successfully downgrade to color os 6. I guess you can try it too.
Enable USB Debugging and Allow unlock boot loader option in USB debugging.
Connect your mobile with PC and use following Command.
adb reboot bootloader
fastbook flashing unlock
Check mobile for unlock option.

How did you downgraded to colour os 6?

Hello to everyone that read and thanks you for the time passing to read my problem.

so after etablishing the connection between my device and the PC using a wiko usb driver
i tried to flash my Wiko View 3 Lite ROM to boot the patched "boot.img" via Minimal ADB and Fastboot V1.4.3 (latest version)
so once i enter the command : fastboot flash boot "MyPatchedBootFile".img
i got a :
Failed.(flashing lock flag is locked. Please unlock it first!)
so i should able the flashing option somehow somewere ?
i tried several fastboot command but nothing... (btw i is there a way to kow all the comandes i can do on my PC cause i see the command changing depending phones or fastboot )
that's what i have :
FAILED (remote :Not implemet.)
i'm not sure to understand what "no implemet" mean ??
I can't find any useful info exept this one unfortunately that could be the same for my phone's model :

Before trying to deal with phone's bootloader, will say running any Fastboot commands, you have to enable "OEM unlock" option in phone's Android Settings->Developer option. If done so, reboot phone. Afterwards run Fastboot commands
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock <- or: fastboot flashing unlock

Hey
Thanks for your awnser,
i did it already, i've activated EOM unlock , USB debug and also desactivated the standby when the phone is plugged
also i think all fastboot command work cause i can reboot my phone using "fastboot reboot"command
fastboot devices reconize my phone
fastboot flashing unlock dosn't work
it is writed: FAILED (remote: Not implemet.)
fastboot oem unlock dosn't work,
it is writed: FAILED (remote: unknown cmd.)
something interesting is when i write fastboot "AnithingElse" unlock
it says: fastboot: usage: unknown command "AnithingElse"
and no: FAILED (remote: unknown cmd.)
like if adbandfastboot know the commannd " fastboot oem unlock " somehow but not my phone.
thanksthanksthanks again for your awnser!!!

My guess is that running Fastboot commands is denied by OEM/Carrier. And that's not wondering me because phone is based on UniSoc chipset.
AFAIK to get Fastboot working on such phones you have to request from OEM/Carrier the unlock-code as 1st thing of all things and when received have to flash it to phone.

Ye i guessed the commands is denied on purpose
but why ? just for me not to have root acces ?
and what if i want to flash or reflash my ROM just to have back a new fresh boot ?
do a lot of phone constructor use that radical trick ?
and what is OEM/Carrier ? where can i find this ? i can't find anything online ...
merci ))

OEM is an acronym and stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer ( e.g Samsung )
Carrier is the is cell phone company that provide cellular service to cell phone users ( e.g. AT&T, Verizon )

cannot unlock Fastboot Mode oem unlock

Fastboot Mode
prodcut_name - sdm845
variant - sdm ufs
bootloader version -
baseband version -
serial number - af102b7a
secure boot - yes
device state - locked
what i tried
adm devices - empty
fastboot devices - af102b7a
fastboot oem unlock FAILED (remote: `flashing unlock is not allowed
fastboot rerror command failed
the windows device manager i installed google android bootloader interface because i cannot install the oneplus specific driver it exits with error message
I cannot go to recovery mode from fastboot nor change any setting like enable oem un-lock or usb debbuging option
Any chance to unlock and flash the with new image

Enable Oem unlocking in developer options

@Tab E mercy but i can^t exit out of the fastbood mode to chagne the settings i`m locked inside this bootloader mode and cant do anything else but try with fastboot oem unlock...

Try
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot reboot

@jwoegerbauer the commands work the oneplus is rebooting into the fastbood mode again i need to exit the fastbood mode because maybe the os deleted and can only use fastboot mode to flash it or else i dont know how to exit the fastboot.
I don`t know if developer mode is on or if oem lock is unlocked but since i cannot go back into the oss of the system what can i do to recover the device completely

i`m stuck in this fastboot mode and no commaand is helping to get out of it what is the solution_maybe to take out the battery it is really hard have you had the same issues?

Whether phone should run in ADB mode or Fastboot mode or Recovery mode or ADB Sideload mode is set via a kernel flag read by bootloader when phone boots up. Pulling out phone's battery doesn't change this flag.
Typically to boot Android in NORMAL mode you run
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot

Pixel 2 not booting device state locked

Hey guys, the dev device i have is stuck in the bootloader mode and i see device state locked.
I tried with latest platform tools
fastboot devices-->see it -> fastboot flashing unlock says ERROR. not alowed -->fastboot flashing unlock_critical-> Unknown command
odd.. is there a way to save it?cause is see that it works when you can boot in the device then go to unlcok..but im my case it does not boot at all..
