Hello! Faced such a problem, yesterday I installed the Octavios firmware. Decided to block the bootloader. As a result, the bootloader was blocked and the system flew. When flashing via fastboot, it gives an error that the bootloader is locked (how can I get the phone out of this position? Thank you in advance!

Oh boy, you should NEVER lock bootloader unless you are going back to STOCK ROM...
Never been in such position but have you tried to unlock bootloader again with Mi Unlock tool?
Yes, I tried. 99 percent hangs for about a minute, then an error

You must have screwed it honestly... There is something like EDL flash but I have zero experience in that and its not that straightforward. Look at YouTube. Otherwise I have no solution other than Mi Service

You unlocked the bootloader before? Then use the unlock tool in fastboot mode or other option edl

Hi, I have a real problem with my one-week old oneplus one that I hope I can get some help with. I've spent two days trying to fix the problem with my phone and its totally baffling me.
I managed to unlock the bootloader and root the phone and install twrp and SuperSU using the Guide : https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...oader-install-custom-recovery-and-root.64487/
I experimented flashing roms. Then I tried Oxygen but hated it. So I wanted to revert back to the factory rom and then upgrade to 11S. Since then I haven't been able to unlock the bootloader. I am using fastboot because I am running a macbook pro with Bootcamp which has a small partition and limited filespace. In fastboot, when I try to boot from recovery, it returns with
FAILED (remote: Device not unlocked cannot boot)
Whenever I try to unlock the bootloader, the oneplus reboots back into twrp before I can 'fastboot reboot'.
I've found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/mod-reset-unlock-tamper-bit-t2820912 this afternoon, downloaded the folder, but now have no idea how to use the script or where to put it?? I hope that this would unlock the bootloader?
Can anyone help me please??
Apologies in advance for being a NOOB. I'm upgrading from an iPhone 4S so please take pity on me !

All you need to do is download the OnePlusOne-BootUnlocker.zip file from the thread that you linked to, boot into TWRP and connect your phone to your PC, copy the zip to your phone, and flash it with TWRP, then your bootloader will be unlocked.

so i unlocked, rooted and installed LOS on one of my classmates honor 8 a few months ago. for whatever reason he decided he wanted to go back to stock and asked me help. due to work and school i was unable to help so he came on to xda to find help.
he ended up using a guide and............... well, its all f*cked!! i dont know how but his phone is not only bootloader locked but also FRP locked.
to make things worse, the phone wont boot and it has no recovery. i have tried the vol+ and power, vol+- and power but non work. i am able to get into fastboot. i have thought of maybe sending the phone in to maybe huawei us but the phone came from ebay.
the phone was a damaged ebay win that was repaired by me. it worked great but i dont know if its possible to send to huawei for repair. anyway, i would appreciate any and all help.
You might need to reset with the /sdcard/ dload method. Check out the other forums for instructions.

It's highly unlikely that you're SOL, if you can get into the bootloader then you can flash the stock recovery. If you can flash the stock recovery, you can flash a rollback package to completely restore everything to stock.
So long as you have a working fastboot, you're fine.

ah, the thing is..... both the bootloader and FRP are locked. as i mentioned, he wanted to return to stock and followed a guide here. he doesnt remember what exactly he did as it was almost a month ago but it ended relocking the bootloader and FRP. i really feel horrible for not helping him which is why im desperate to get this working. i might just end up giving him mine.

so i tried and nothing, i get to the blue splash screen and the phone just reboots. i keep trying to unlock the bootloader but i get the same error as i posted above. shouldnt i be able to unlock the bootloader? im thinking that i have some kind of driver problem.
my pc is pretty much dead so im using my laptop and im not sure i have it set up correctly. anyway, i know oem unlock is required to unlock bootloader but is there anyway i can unlock straight from fastboot?
Try a 'fastboot oem relock' with the unlock code, then after the reboot, try unlocking again.

Hi, I'm trying to root my Honor 8 device and install TWRP. However when I try to flash the TWRP file in ADB, I get this error message:
FAILED(remote not allowed). I have tried different versions of TWRP, the latest one and the one thats for Honor 8 on their site. I have unlocked bootloader. I don't understand what's happening. Can someone please explain this?
It's my first time rooting a device manually, so i dont know much. If you are able to, please refer to things in an easy manner.
Thanks in advance.

Yes i have unlocked the bootloader. I'm pretty sure i've already tried that version of TWRP, but i will try again tomorrow.
I always flash recovery using "fastboot flash recovery (file name)" so that's not the problem.

When i go into bootloader it says FRP lock, i've looked around a bit, and i cant seem to figure out what it is and how i can unlock it.

I had same problem. I successfully unlocked bootloader but after that I accidentally restored default settings in developer settings and oem unlock was ticked off and greyd out. Then I noticed the same FRP lock.
I had to relock and unlock the bootloader. Only after that I was able to flash twrp on my phone.
To relock you type "fastboot oem relock (unlock code)"
After that you can turn on "oem unlock" and "usb debugging"
And yes, It will wipe your data when relocking and again after unlocking so it takes some time. Hope this helps :fingers-crossed:

Are you able to communicate with the device using fastboot?

You won't need an unlocked bootloader for this

whatever command i use it says OEM unlock is not allowed.
Just throwing out ideas that you may have already tried. If I understand right you cannot get into recovery which eliminates trying to sideload the stock image. Your bootloader is locked and it will not let you unlock so booting into TWRP is out of the question. Are you just wanting your phone operational again? Have you tried wiping/factory resetting with fastboot commands? i.e. fastboot erase userdata or fastboot format userdata.

anyone else can help ?
I would contact Google customer support. Even though my phone was out of warranty and I was not the original buyer (bought in eBay), they were willing to make a one-time exception for an RMA. I didn't use it because my phone is rooted and I was afraid of being charged for any repairs. As long as your phone is stock and unrooted, you have a chance. Just say that you think you have a hardware failure and while you understand that they are in no obligation to help, you would appreciate anything they can do.

So, i recently flashed arrow os 12.1 on my poco x4 pro (veux) using twrp. Flashing the rom removed twrp and now i cant flash it back because fastboot says that my bootloader is locked...
Of course, it isn't and the problem is that allow oem unlocking isn't on... I really would appreciate some help because i've been stuck on this rom for a day.
Gonna wait for some answers, thank you.
In the first place, flashing the rom shouldn't relock your bootloader. Can you please reboot to fastboot mode and use mi unlock tool with the same account you used to unlock bootloader first time.

Thank you for your response. Sadly i already tried that and the tool says that the phone is unlocked.
I'm trying to reflash stock rom via EDL mode, but i always get some error.
By the way, when using fastboot getvar command, it says that my bootloader is locked.
So, i recently bought a poco x4 pro (veux) and flashed a custom rom using twrp. Sadly, the rom's recovery managed to overwrite twrp and when i tried to flash twrp back, i could not flash it because fastboot said my bootloader wasn't unlocked. When i tried to unlock the phone again the xiaomi tool said that the bootloader was already unlocked. So, i used the getvar command which said that my bootloader was locked. So, i remembered that i didnt turn on allow oem unlocking in developer options. Sadly, when i looked for it the setting wasn't there. I tried using Edl mode to go back to stock but with no success. I always get some failed to read hello packet error. Can someone give me any help? Im kinda getting desperate...

Go to service centre if it is critical. I have never seen such case so i couldn't help. I am afraid that you would have to pay the service centre people money for reflashing your device.
Also have you tried flashing fastboot ROM (MIUI) through fastboot? Also try to flash stock recovery rom via the recovery you have now currently.
Another thing you could try is using the Xiaomi official flashing utility (which is not unlock tool) to flash stock rom which does not require OEM unlock.
