[YOU ARE AWESOME IF CAN DO THIS] bootloader/fastboot issue - General Questions and Answers

I've just got Realme GT2 PRO (RMX3300) (China ROM) and I need to flash the global ROM on it. but with all of my knowledge and hours and days wasted trying to flash the global ROM I am still unable to.
my main problem is that the phone doesn't have fastboot or bootloader !!!, I honestly never seen a phone that doesn't have a bootloader, and accessing it is necessary to flash a ROM or Unlocking the bootloader
here are some of the things i tried:
1- turning off the phone then holding the VOLUME DOWN and POWER BUTTON (AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURE) only puts me in recovery mode
2- using commands such adb reboot bootloader just restart the phone and shows a weird Chinese text for a split second (AS SHOWN IN THE VIDEO)
3- tried installing DEEP TESTING app but it gives me this error (AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURE)
I am honestly very desperate at this point and I am willing to pay anyone who manages to fix this issue
Tl;dr : can't go into bootloader/fastboot

Each computer so also every Android phone ( regardless of brand / model ) has a bootloader. Whether Google's Fastboot tool is supported or not on Android phone depends on brand / model: e.g. Samsung does NOT support it whereas Realme does.

Cant Root To Doogee X9

Good day magicians of the android and xda users, followed a tutorial where to root this you have to flash the TWRP, to be able to then install SUPERSU. (A normal root as far as I understand).
What happened is that I saw that to be able to entral to the recovery it was necessary to unblock the bootloader but doing it by means of ADB / fastboot
I follow the basic command list and when I put "fastboot oem unlock" it stays frozen and does not work on the cell phone says yes / no; volume up / down I press up / if on the cell phone while the console stays in ellipsis ... I do not know how to unblock that I can not. Any suggestions, thank you.:crying:

EMUI update bricked phone

A while ago my phone wanted to do an EMUI update and halfway through it something failed and now my phone is stuck in a bootloop where it gets to the carrier logo screen then restarts and displays Huawei eRecovery (which does not work). I am aware that there are plenty of threads about this issue but none of them have really helped me. My phone was running completely stock software and the default development settings are active (OEM locked etc.) except maybe USB debugging. I've tried to send it back to my carrier but because it has a broken screen they won't take it under any warranty, I have also tried Huawei but their online help is awful and the closest service centre is over 10 hours away. I have no intentions of replacing the screen because for the price of it I may as well just buy a new phone.
As far as the model goes it is a MHA-L09 from Australia (bought via Optus), I have a bootloader code and my IMEI number.
I've tried to access the phone through bootloader and adb. adb doesn't recognise the phone whatsoever but bootloader does (using adb devices and bootloader devices respectively in cmd) but other bootloader commands have no effect as the OEM is locked.
I was just wondering whether I'm able to flash a new rom onto it given the circumstances or whether I should just buy a new phone altogether.

You can use DC-Phoenix to flash firmware.
There are tutorials on how to use it on their website (DC-Unlocker)
Ah, you have bootloader code. Then you might be able to fix this for free.

HOW TO INSTALL TWRP/ORANGEFOX RECOVERY WITHOUT UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER IN OPPO F9 PRO

I am using an OPPO F9 pro , OPPO devices(at least mine) does not have fastboot mode as the manufacturers have given no access for that ,the "OEM unlocking" option under developer options is literally useless as it is basically not possible to unlock its bootloader.
My aim actually is to install a custom ROM using any of those recoveries , if anyone can help me regrading how to install any of these recoveries without unlocking the bootloader please help me if that is possible to do so without OEM unlock ,btw my device has mediatek chipset.
I have already set all other prerequisites like ADB ,drivers, USB drivers for my phone etc ; and i am able to use ADB bridge to control my device using my pc.
All i want to know that is there any way by which we can install custom recovery given that the phone does not have any "bootloader/fastboot" mode which indirectly also means that there is no OEM unlock access.
I would again like to clarify that i am 100% sure that it is impossible for most OPPO phones to enter fastboot mode ,i have tried to enter fastboot mode using ADB commands(adb reboot bootloader) and that power + volume up/down after power off ,nothing works for in my OPPO phone that allows me to use fastboot mode.
At last ,i have also asked from OPPO service ,they clearly told me that there is no bootloader in oppo devices
I AM REALLY STRESSED RIGHT NOW AS MY STOCK ROM SUCKS SO ANY HELP WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATED.

You can not flash anything custom without first unlocking the bootloader, there is no way to do this.
Yes, there are devices out there that have TWRP even though the device has a locked bootloader, it is tricky to explain but most of these devices do not truly have TWRP installed in the traditional manner. They merely use some kind of trick or code to trick the device into booting TWRP from a secondary location instead of booting stock recovery from the stock recovery partition.

Simple answer: You can't. And if you unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery, DON'T TRY TO LOCK IT BACK! It will brick your phone badly.

maybe that video works for realme devices but all the videos(only except 3 or 4 oppo phones those have fastboot mode given by manufacturer) in which they tell the way to unlock bootloader for oppo devices are fake except for those few i already told, although the process for different brand phones are quite same.

Fastboot, Samsung Galaxy A51

Hello, i wanted to ask how to fix the fastboot mode.
Everytime when i try to access it, it just says "Entering Fastboot..."and thats all.
I dont want to close it, thats not my problem, i just wanna flash a recovery.img, and the fastboot seems not working. Any ideas?

this could be because the galaxy A51 wasnt built with fastboot, and the code to launch this option was just reused from a different device, or because something isnt connecting properly.
Hello, I have the same ... Android 11 (and currently 12) (from Frija). So it is not the fault of incorrect configuration or with connecting. Only something is wrong with this phone ...
I have this device and this solved it for me:
Enable OEM unlocking in developer settings
Shut down the phone
Hold volume up and volume down
Plug in a USB cable connected to a computer (the computer being turned on)
Keep holding
You're in download mode!
Side note: This might not work in USA or Canada, I am from europe and it works here. I have no idea if it works in another region. Also, you can't just flash a recovery.img on Samsung since there is no real "fastboot", you have to use download mode and Odin.
But I know how to enter download mode... Problem is Fastboot mode...
There is no fastboot mode on a modern Samsung device. If there is, it's fake and you cannot flash anything with it. As you can see even from Wikipedia, Odin is the Samsung replacement of fastboot.
So no fastboot, only download mode.
If a guide is saying to use fastboot, it is not compatible with Samsung.
If you would tell me why you specifically need fastboot, I'll be happy to tell you how you can do it with Odin, if possible.
Because I have Samsung Galaxy A51 5G (A516B) with new Android 12 and I can't do a root! Because I can't upload TWRP (custom recovery) because I haven't OEM unlock option in Deveoper Option. I tried trick with set back date by 7days but not succes. Everything I;ve metioned here - I did at my phone with Android 11.
And... I have read that I can turn this fu**ing OEM option by comend at ADB: fastboot oem unlock.
Phew ...
So this fastboot method is the last method to do a root with my phone.
Upload TWRP by Odin in download mode -ends red warning - of corse...
Have you any ideas?
I would be grateful for help...
I have read this fastboot method at:
How to Unlock Bootloader On Samsung Galaxy Phones [EASY GUIDE]
Are you looking for a Complete tutorial on How To Unlock Bootloader on Samsung Galaxy Phones? If yes, then you have come to the right place.
www.guidetoroot.com
Yeah, that guide is not relevant on any modern Samsung device. Besides, even if it was, which it isn't, you would first need to enable OEM unlocking from the Developer Settings.
But the fact that you don't have an option for OEM unlock is weird, since I have the exact same device model and it is there for me.
May I ask what is your region and is your phone locked to a telephone carrier?
My region is PLS - Poland. And not - phone is not locked. Have you the newest system Android 12?
Yes, I do. It's weird that there isn't even an option for you.
I'll try to come up with some new ideas if I have time...
I'll be glad for it...

Xiaomi Mi5 linageos 19.1 bricked after fastboot oem lock ?

Hello everybody,
i'm not new in custom roms, but i have a problem, i can't solve by myself:
I flashed an unlocked Mi5 to linageos 19.1 without problems.
I had the bad idea to relock the bootloader due to security reasons (fastboot oem lock).
Now the device is not booting anymore, i can just see the Mi-Logo flashing very shortly.
I can access fastboot, but can't boot into recovery.
I tried to unlock the device again, but the Mi Unlocker fails and prompts me to go to the developer options in Miui, which is clearly impossible.
Any chance to proceed from fastboot (fastboot oem unlock does not work...) ?
Thanks, Jan
congrats, you succesfully hard bricked your phone. please take it for a walk to the xiaomi service and pay for gettting it fixed. who told you it is a good idea to relock the bootloader with a custom rom installed ?

actually, i remember some banking apps complained about the locked bootloader. I thought i can lock/unlock it in fastboot mode, but looks like i was wrong.
I will give the MiFlash Tool a chance, but i have not much hope...

Make sure if your bootloader is really locked or not using fastboot command
fastboot oem device-info
OR,
fastboot getvar unlocked
If it's not locked, you can simply flash your stock rom using flash tool available for mi. Before downloading a rom from internet, take note of your device info using fastboot command ,
fastboot getvar all
And if bootloader is really locked, you have to flash stock rom from EDL mode. You may have to remove back cover to turn on EDL mode. Your device has snapdragon chipset (Plus point). Watch tutorials about xiaomi edl rom flash - snapdragon. You can go to service centre. If they tell you that you have to replace motherboard, don't be agree. Tell them to flash rom using EDL mode.

looks like i am getting closer... located the two EDL points to short during PC connection, installed the Qualcomm serial driver. For a second i see the device appearing as COM6 but then it disappears again and is not availiable anymore.
Any hints ?

Flash stock recovery for your device via fastboot, then you should be able to boot into recovery or flash a stock system.img or your full stock firmware for your device, then unlock the bootloader(fastboot oem unlock) then flash TWRP and LineageOS again.

But he mentioned, bootloader fails to unlock. Actually it's hard brick(Even though he can boot into fastboot,the bootloader is locked. So nothing to do with fastboot).Without unlocked bootloader, flashing something from fastboot will hard brick his device completely (Will not be able to boot into fastboot). Or flashing will be denied

OK, next level reached. The phone is connected to the com-port and the correct driver is displayed.
The whole procedure is a bit unstable, i need to connect the phone several times, to get a stable EDL mode.
The Xiaomi Flasher recognizes the phone, but flashing does not succeed. Sometimes it's not able to receive a kind of Hello message, sometimes it displays "object reference not set to an instance of an object".
I also downloaded the QPST flasher, but have no plan, how to use it.
I'll keep on trying!
Thanks to all, who helped me to reach this point!

I found something new by watching this video. Maybe you don't understand hindi(India is our relative country, so I do).
Lemme explain,
This guy's xiaomi k20 pro phone hard bricked with a locked bootloader. He tried a lot to repair it(by deep flash or something idk). But everything failed. At last he came to this step of EDL mode. But xiaomi Edl mode flash requires an "AUTHORIZED MI ACCOUNT" . Xiaomi people pay to get authorized account license that normal users don't have. So the guy contacted with them on a telegram page called "Mod Edit: Name Removed" . They told him that they will repair his phone via teamviewer. All he had to do is pay some $ & connect phone in edl mode. Rest of the things were done by them. And his phone repaired successfully! (Watch the video from 4:00)
So In his video, he is telling to go to that page & contact with "Mod Edit: Name Removed" there. They take 20-25$ (depends on device). If you tell them you're from Mod Edit: Name Removed's video, they will give some discount

Yeah, I jumped the gun and posted before seeing all the replies in the thread describing their whole scenario, should've known better.
They obviously need a hardware approach, i.e. JTAG/RIFF/Octoplus or replace motherboard.

Thanks for research!
Meanwhile, i stopped using Windows due to all the caveats and switched to reliable Debian Linux on a different machine.
Again it takes 10 attempts to get into EDL Mode.
I used qdl (Qualcomm downloader for Linux) with all the firehose, raw and patch .xmls
Code:
sudo ./qdl --debug --storage ufs --include . prog_ufs_firehose_8996_ddr.elf partition.xml rawprogram0.xml rawprogram1.xml rawprogram2.xml rawprogram3.xml rawprogram4.xml rawprogram5.xml patch0.xml patch1.xml patch2.xml patch3.xml patch4.xml patch5.xml
Output looked like some stuff was written, at the end i receive:
Code:
qdl: failed to write: Connection timed out
However, the phone is now dead as can be without fastboot working any more.
Maybe i'll give it another try, or get a used Mainboard...
Best regards, Jan

That's expensive. Anyway, it will be better if you don’t waste time on this. Just go for 3rd party help(From that official telegram channel or service centre). That will cost less

Thanks Tawsif for the good hints and links.
I don't really depend on the phone, so i will keep trying.
It's not wasted time, it's mainly learning new stuff and improving skills.
I believe, i'm not too far away and if it works, it's the best satisfaction.
If not, i bricked an old Mi 5.
All the best,
Jan
