Hey guys,
I don't know if it will help much with getting past the lock on the bootloader, but I was able to get the build.prop from the /system on the regular S7. Would changing anything with the build.prop help get the bootloader unlocked?
No. Nothing having anything to do with the build.prop will help unlock our bootloader. We appreciate your trying to help!!

Here is your choice, but if you unlock sim card already it will never be lock again.

just to clarify, you selected oem unlock in developers option, flashed a custom recovery and then tried to root which lead you to a error? Did you flash a custom kernel ?
So i recently updated to the new mhc19l version on my nexus 6p (this is not android N, just the latest android update for the 6p). I did it via the flashfire method following this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvs0JQswTWw&feature=youtu.be
I dont have multirom so i didnt do the stuff it mentioned about that. At first I thought I was successful and everything was working great. I reflashed xposed to the latest version, and updated my elemental X kernal too.
But now when I do anything with the camera the phone gets really weird. Post reboot the camera preview will work only once. If I take a photo it crashes. And every time I try to do anything with the camera involved the thing will crash and not even load preview anymore. That includes 3rd party apps like snap chat. Also I can't edit quick setting tiles in system ui as it tells me system ui tuner has crashed, but that i can live with. The camera issues I can not live with.
None of that happens with my rooted 6p on the same build. I think you need to look at xposed, the kernel changes and all the other jiggerypokery you've done. I'd do begin by reflashing the factory image and do this manually either using Heisenberg's extremely clear guide, or by the flash-all.bat command that google supplies in the factory build. Then you can check camera, flash recovery (again, using Heisenberg's guide, it takes but a couple of commands), then root, add xposed, kernels and all that special sauce. Do it step by step, then you'll know when something goes wrong and only have to fix that.
Thank you for your help. I'll check that out. Do you think it may be because I updated from a pretty old build? (808L) I skipped a few updates and went right to the latest one, could that cause any problems?
Not really. I think it's because you've done too much using a tool and without checking things after each step. Stop using tools like flashfire when you don't understand what they do and get yourself up to speed with using the commands. After that, you'll spot where things have gone wrong and be able to fix or troubleshoot it within the community. No one can help you when it's an issue that could caused by one or more of a hundred things you've tinkered with.
It's not hard and worth the little bit of busy work and brain thought. You'll enjoy it!
Yea I like to tinker and stuff. It's just the customizations with dashclock and stuff that I don't want to lose. But I did app backups so hopefully I won't.
Something probably went wrong during the flash process. I highly doubt xposed or kernel modifications are to blame. I keep 12 xposed modules running at all times with kylo kernel which I have heavily modified with EX kernel app. Read Heisenberg's guide and learn to flash images properly and you should be good to go.
Before I do any reflashing today can anyone do me a favour and upload their camera APK?
Im just hoping it has something to do with that. Last ditch effort.
And thanks for the help guys
So i gotta ask. Using flashire only is it possible to lock the bootloader and flash small incremental updates without a problem? Its a bit sad to have a unlocked bootloader...

You can't flash anything with a locked bl. Locking the BL is nothing but trouble if you like to tinker.

Locking the bootloader is nothing but trouble. You know what's sadder than having an unlocked bootloader? Having a bricked phone because an OTA failed and your bootloader is locked. If that happens there's no way to save it.

What method did you use to update? Did you use an OTA zip? Or factory images? I'd Is there a reason you used Flashfire instead of updating the proper way?
Any Advice ?

Hello you seem very knowledgeable on the subject. I just picked up a 6P and was wondering how does encryption affect things such as TWRP and root. Do you advise to disable encryption on the device for ease-of-use in TWRP and root.

Look at my guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
Deception isn't necessary anymore, as long as you use the latest TWRP you should have no problems.
did it flash the vendor?

No, because if the OTA fails you won't have access to the option in Developer Options to enable OEM unlocking. Trust me, you want to have that bootloader unlocked. You don't wanna end up like the other guys who had to send their phone back for repair because they locked it.

Right... I did not think that the first step (enable bootloader unlock from dev options) is actually necessary.

Guys I have unrooted my phone and installed nougat manually without ota update.. after that I downgraded to marshmallow and try to root again.. when I enter the command of unlock key it shows error.. it's showing invalid boot state
Can u guys plz help me asap..
Unless you provide more details to your problem, no one can help you dude.
How do you expect someone to help you without knowing your phone model, build number, method of rooting, files used, etc?

I am using Moto g4 plus bro..
I tried normal rooting only.. wer v get the unlock code frm Motorola
Getting am unlock code is for unlocking your bootloader, which in turn is the first step. This info isn't really specific.
If you provide more details, someone will be able to help.

Have you actually ever actively relocked the bootloader? Rooting and unlocking the bootloader are different things.
Also, take a look here:

Hello,
As of my 2nd year of owning this phone I wanna see if I can root it. Many times I tried before but none worked. This time I'll do anything to root it.
I looked for ways to root it but the internet is filled with old or patched ways.
If anyone can help I'll greatly appreciate it (like a lot)

There's no way to root this without unlocking the bootloader first, and the bootloader is permanently locked down. Might as well stop looking

So there's no way to unlock the bootloader? I'll do even the most complicated methods to unlock it. Or could Motorola help me unlock it?
