Unsure of what happened to my phone
Hey, I was trying to root my zenfone 2 ZE551ml by following a youtube video. It asked me to first put superSu.zip inside the SD Card which I did. Next - unlock the bootloader of my phone by downloading an zip which has an unlocker.bat file. Then it asked me to flash TWRP recovery using fastboot which I also did and then to boot into twrp and install the supersu.zip. I did everything but the last step, as when i tried to boot into the recovery to use twrp, the phone restarted, came to the white asus screen, stayed there for a very long time and then went back into the bootloader.
At this point I got frustrated and thought of reinstalling everything. So I downloaded the zip file for the latest firmware, flashed recover, boot and droid boot and then when I restarted the phone to go into the recovery, the white asus screen just keeps on repeating itself. The device keeps on shutting down and then restarting but never goes past the white asus logo screen where it says "powered by android", doesn't even let me get into fastboot.
I am new to all this and any help from anyone is highly appreciated. Thanks

Idiots guide to unlocking sony Z1

After hours of trying different methods to root the z1, and struggling with chinese based apps ... and accidentally wiping the phone ..... nothing manage to root the phone. until i came across the following,
anyways to make life easy i have complied all the steps that you need to do to root the phone from 3 seperate guides. I didnt write this article i just compiled it for easy reading
http://techbeasts.com/2013/12/19/in...ng-latest-14-2-0-a-290-firmware-how-to-guide/
http://techbeasts.com/2013/12/18/in...ers-quickly-with-minimal-tool-on-windows-pc/
http://techbeasts.com/2013/12/18/how-to-unlock-bootloader-of-sony-xperia-devices-guide/
This guide is only for Sony Xperia Z1 C6903/2.
1. Do not try this on any other model, please check your device’s mode in Settings > About Device.
2. The CWM / TWRP recovery is only for Xperia Z1 C6903/C6902 running latest Android 4.3 Jelly Bean 14.2.A.0.290 firmware. Check your firmware version in Settings > About Device and make sure that it matches the one mentioned here.
3. You must have installed Android ADB & Fastboot drivers.
TO INSTALL ADB & Fastboot Drivers tool:
a. Download the Minimal ADB & Fastboot Drivers tool: Link 1 | Link 2
b. Run the minimaltool.exe file that you downloaded and install the tool.
c. You can run the tool now by either through the Start menu, through the icon that you created on the desktop or by opening Program files > Minimal ADB & Fastboot > Right click on an empty area while keeping the shift key pressed and click on “Open Command Window Here”. ( NOTE: just double clicking on the desktop icon opens the command prompt window)
d. Use the Command prompt to do whatever you want now!
e. To install any .img file, you will have to place that file in the Minimal Tool folder that is located under Program files. (in win8.1 its : C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
f. To access the Fastboot mode, you’ll have to first bring the Fastboot mode on your device and then connect it. E.g on HTC devices you can highlight Fastboot mode by accessing it through HBoot and then connect it, while on Sony you can turn off the device and then while keeping the back or volume up key pressed plug in the USB cable.
That’s All! You’ve successfully installed Android ADB & Fastboot drivers. I hope that it didn’t take more than 2 minutes for you.
4. Your device must have an unlocked bootloader. This is the slightly troublesome part but its straight forward.
How to Unlock Bootloader
Install Android ADB & Fastboot Drivers using the quick setup with Minimal tool. Find the guide here.
Now first of all you need to check if your device’s bootloader unlocking is allowed or not, to do so open the dailer on your device.
Type *#*#7378423#*#*.
As soon as you enter the above code, a menu will open up.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Bootloader Unlock. If it says Yes, that means bootloader unlocking is allowed, else you can also find out if the Bootloader is already unlocked.
Now in the dialer type “*#06#”, you should get the IMEI number of your phone. Note it down somewhere
After verifying the bootloader unlock permission, turn off your device completely.
Now open the Minimal ADB and Fastboot command prompt, that you created using the guide above.
Press the back key or Volume Up key on your Xperia Device and connect it to your PC while keeping the key pressed. The back key works for older Xperia devices, while for newer devices Volume Up key will work.
In case you are trying to unlock the bootloader of your Sony Xperia Z1, please make sure that it’s running on latest Android 4.3 Jelly Bean firmware. If you tried to unlock bootloader on Android 4.2.2 firmware, it will cause the camera crash on your device.
In the command prompt type: fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version and press enter, you should get a response now e.g (0.3). This step is to verify that your device is properly connected or not.
Now open this Pageand accept the legal terms and conditions by Sony to unlock the bootloader.
After accepting the legal terms and conditions, enter your name, your phone’s IMEI number (Remove the last digit of IMEI number) and your email and click Submit button
You should receive an email by Sony immediately, the email has the Key to unlock your phone’s bootloader.
Now again in the command prompt type this com: fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY. Repalce KEY with the code that you got in the email by Sony and hit Enter.
As soon as you hit Enter, the bootloader will be unlocked and show you logs in the command prompt.
5 . Please make sure that your phone’s battery is charged at least over 60%. This is highly recommended in order to prevent any power issues during the recovery flashing process.
6. Please make sure that you backup all of your important media content, contacts, call logs and important text messages. This is highly recommended so that in case something goes wrong, you can still restore your data.
7. Use only OEM data cable to establish connection between your PC and Phone.
8. Now that the basics are done.... this is how to root
How to Install TWRP / CWM Recovery on Xperia Z1 C6903 and C6902:
Download your desired recovery.img file:
i recommend philz advance cwm , its easier and you arent required to download supersu
Philz Advance CWM Recovery for Xperia Z1 C6903/2
CWM Recovery for Xperia Z1 C6903/2
TWRP Recovery for Xperia Z1 C6903/2
Place the downloaded Recovery.img file in the Minimal ADB & Fastboot folder that you created using our ADB & Fastboot Quick Setup Guide.
If you are using Android ADB & Fastboot full package, you can place the downloaded Recovery.img file in the Fastboot folder or in the Platform-tools folder.
Open the folder where you placed the Recovery.img file. E.g Minimal ADB & Fastboot or Fastboot or Platform Tools. (in win8.1 its : C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Press and hold the shift key and right click on an empty area within the folder, and click on “Open Command Window Here”.
Turn off your Xperia Z1 completely.
Now press the Volume Up Key and while keeping it pressed plug in the USB cable.
You should see a blue light in the notification light of your phone, that means your device is now connected in Fastboot mode.
Now type the following command: Fastboot Flash boot Recoveryname.img
You may rename the recovery.img file for your ease of access and replace it with Recoveryname in the command to flash it.
Hit Enter and it will quickly flash CWM / TWRP recovery in your Xperia Z1.
How to Root Sony Xperia Z1 C6903 and C6902:
WITH PhilZ Advance CWM without installing SuperSu:
Boot into recovery (when the sony logo appears on boot press volume up volume down until the recovery loads)
Select Reboot System Now
Select Root device
Your phone will restart
Congrats! You’re rooted now.
WITH SuperSu:
Download the latest SuperSu.zip file.
Place the downloaded SuperSu.zip file on your phone’s sd card.
Boot into CWM / TWRP recovery on your phone.
Select Install Zip / Install > Choose Zip from SD / Ext Sd card > SuperSu.zip
Select Yes and let it flash SuperSu.
As soon as flashing is done, reboot your device.
Find SuperSu in App drawer.
Congrats! You’re rooted now.
You could root Z1 by flashing 14.1.G.1.534 and root with rootkitXperia, but it was too late
If you never use music features related to DRM, it's OK though...

Sorry guys, I know this is a very old thread but I've tried this so many times and did not work. My problem is that nothing happens in my device when I type the command to unlock the bootloader using Terminal.
I get the following message: Brunos-MacBook-Pro:fastboot Brunolima$ ./fastboot-mac oem unlock
...
OKAY [ 0.001s]
finished. total time: 0.001s
Brunos-MacBook-Pro:fastboot Brunolima$
And then that's it. It doesn't reboot and when i manually reboot it is in the same state as before.
Any ideas guys?
Hey, I've been trying the same thing. Didn't have your specific issue but I think it may be related to the fact that it's already unlocked.
That said, I to make everything work I basically used this guide + the commands from the official TWRP guide at the page "TWRP for OnePlus X" + the command from a guide in the official OnePlus guide called "[GUIDE] ONYX: How to Unlock Bootloader, Install Custom Recovery, Root, Take EFS Backup & More !!" --- sorry but I can't post links.
All in all the commands I've used where:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot oem device-info
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img

4) Open adb command window and type:
Code:
fastboot devices
If your device appears on the command window you can continue with the guide, if your phone is not listed, install the Moto drivers correctly and verify if adb is working or not...
5) In the same adb command window type:
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
You will see numbers displayed like this, copy the code and paste it into notepad..Now eliminate the paragraph break so that there is only one line without spaces… Copy the entire code & login into your Moto account…Now paste the code on the same Moto webpage which was given above…
The unlock code will be sent to your registered email. There will appear an email with the number similar to this:
5)Without disconnecting the phone from the PC & without closing the window of the CMD, we return & we put this code:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock (enter code that was provided in the email)
6) You will be asked to re-enter the same command again, re-enter the code to confirm and finally unblock the bootloader
7) After re-entering the command, you will bootloader unlocked message
_______________________________________
3) Flashing TWRP and Rooting via TWRP
​
Note: Custom recovery (TWRP) woks only after unlocking your bootloader… Before flashing this recovery unlock your bootloader and enable USB debugging…
​
Files required:
1) Motorola drivers (https://motorola-global-portal.custh...ail/a_id/88481)
2) ADB installed (https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2317790) or (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...8#post48915118)
3) TWRP for Moto Z Play (https://mega.nz/#!yZ4lUCYB!-nN0jj2Ws5Z7RNyBT7S8m4gsrdOxTlK3nTjn9zOtx6s)
Method:
1) Download the above recovery, boot the phone in fastboot mode & open adb command window
2) In the adb command window type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3) After executing the command, disconnect your phone & with the volume + or volume keys - we move until it says "Recovery Mode" . Press the power button to confirm the entry to the recovery.
4) Once you enter the recovery, select the right button & a menu to choose the language is displayed, it only brings Chinese and English so we will put it in English to know what to do.
5) We will see that it asks for a password, it is the same password that you put to encrypt the phone at the beginning when they set up the factory phone and always asks them to turn on the phone, it can be a password / PIN / pattern
6) Once the password has been entered, the recovery main menu will appear, we will go to "Advanced" and then "Install SU", it will ask if we want to root the phone, we accept by sliding and we wait for it to do the process. Then we give in "Reboot System" to restart and the phone will ignite with root
_______________________________________
4) Backing up / Restoring EFS (IMEI)
Note: This works only if you have TWRP recovery... Please backup your EFS using the method below before flashing any rom including stock rom
​
Backing up EFS (IMEI):
Method:
1) Boot the phone into TWRP recovery
2) Go to "Backup"
3) Select EFS
4) Create backup by sliding
5) Once finished, restart the phone
6) After restarting the phone, copy the TWRP folder from the internal memory to the SD, DO NOT CUT and PASTE, just copy with a file browser. Later from the SD card can be copied to the PC
Restoring lost IMEI / EFS:
Method:
1) Boot the phone into TWRP recovery
2) Go to "Restore"
3) Select folder (location where you have kept a backup of your EFS)
4) Restore by sliding
5) Wipe cache and dalvik and start phone normally
_______________________________________
5) Restoring original Boot Logo after unlocking bootloader
​
PS: This is used to remove unlocked bootloader warning when the phone is turned on (the black screen with letters)
Credit goes to : G4liant
Files needed:
1) Motorola drivers (https://motorola-global-portal.custh...ail/a_id/88481)
2) ADB installed (https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2317790) or (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...8#post48915118)
3) Original Motorola Bootlogo (https://mega.nz/#!zNIFHBiY!hbdgUwl9oWjrXbirwXKijviWW0nS_06MViU48yHmSD4)
Method:
1) Boot the phone in fastboot mode, open adb window on pc and type
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
2) Once the flashing is finished, restart the phone with this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
When you turn it on, we will notice that we have the original motorola boot logo again and that the previous warning does not appear even when the bootloader of our device is unlocked
_______________________________________​
6) Installing Xposed Framework
​
Files needed:
1) [FONT=&quot]Have TWRP installed (If not installed refer to section #3 on this thread)
2) Download latest Xposed Installer.zip (http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm/ )
3) Download latest Xposed Apk (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811)
Optional: Download latest Xposed un-installer but ARM 32 version not ARM 64 (http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/uninstaller/ )[/FONT]
Method:
1) Copy Xposed installation .zip, Xposed uninstaller (optional) and the Xposed APK to the internal memory (the TWRP does not mount the external SD so do not bother copying it to the External Memory)
2) Install the Xposed APK but DO NOT open it.
3) Enter recovery mode and open TWRP, Choose language and enter password to decrypt your device
4) Once the password is entered, the main recovery menu will appear, select "Install" and a file manager will appear, we will navigate the file down and look for the Xposed installer .zip, something like this:
5) Select the Xposed installer .zip and it will open a zip installer, slide to accept the flash of the .zip and wait for the process to finish. Then we give in "Wipe Dalvik / cache" and then to "Reboot System" to reboot and the phone will light up with Xposed already working.

Nicely work
Really nice thread. Just one thing...
Could you credit me for the modified logo.bin?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69273602&postcount=37
Can I flash logo.bin zip in twrp?
Nope, has to be unzipped and flashed in fastboot, which shouldn't make much of a difference, as it has only to be done once. No need for reflashing after switching your custom rom.

Hey guys, it takes an incredibly long time to download the stock ROM, anybody have a solution for this? It also just stops and says 'network error' at 0.3gb. So I can't unbrick my phone really.

Hi, I wanted to remind you that you should check before flashing anything the critical device true.
Ok guys ... it works, I installed it.
I will explain how I did it.
The first thing is to download the files.
Use fastboot tools of the link.
A fastboot tools add unlocked Zip and MAF32.exe from minimal adb.
I did it from EUI6.INSTALE EUI6 BEFORE STARTING.
Put in TF in fastboot mode and connect to the pc.
Open the platform-tools folder that contains all the files plus the TWRP THAT WE SHOULD PLACE INSIDE, ANOTHER.COPY IN THE DESKTOP.
We run the unlocker.bat When it finishes it reboots the TF automatically.
We let it restart before going back to fastboot.
It may happen that it does not return to fastboot. In this case we force recovery and we mark update and cleanup, execute and restart normally.
We put back fastboot.
We verify the state_fastboot oem device-info.
It has to give true in critical.
If it is not true, we execute the .bat again but this time we do not allow it to restart keeping pressing v-
We are in fastboot and check the status again with the command. I did it with two CMD windows open at the same time, one to verify and the other to execute.
The normal thing is that of true in that attempt.
If you do not give it repeat the .bat keeping v
Always check before installing twrp.
We already have true.
In the same window we execute;
fastboot flash recovery (name) .img
It will give ok.
Restart the TF in recovery mode.
30 seconds v + / power at the same time.
Once inside the TWRP.We make wipes of everything except internal storage (those who do not have usb-otg must have copied the ROM to internal storage).
We install the moden, the ROM, the moden again, and restart.
It appears encrypted and asks for a password. We start recovery again and do factory reset.
We normally restart already to configure root etc.
And colorin colorado this post is over.
Again remember that the donations account is still active. This guy deserves heaven so do yourselves.
---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------
I installed the 21s and it seems that we have a bug. If we turn off the TF it does not turn on normally. It works when connecting the charger or from recovery. Restart does it normally.
Thanks for great work!

X850/ how root and files.
Hi some people has report bugs after rooting.
Sound calls,loss of data and excessive lag.Following these instructions solves that.
Once rooted the tf we must turn it on through recovery or connecting the charger. Do not start pressing v- and power.There are functions that do not go well.
you install the 5.9 21s by fastboot and then do the process.
Good morning everyone.

ROOT
- Start the rooting process from the 21st. Close the accounts leeco and google. Make sure that the critical is blocked. (Fastboot flashing lock_critical) Once done:
We connect the tf in fastboot mode to the pc and open the Tools folder.
We execute the file .bat of the folder, attentive, before finishing we press v- so that it automatically reboots in fastboot mode.
In that same folder ... right and uppercase button, we open command window here and execute -fastboot oem unlock-go
We verify the status of the bootloader with ... fastboot oem device-info
We will have the magazine unlocked and the critical in false.
in the same window that we have not closed we execute ... fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
At the end we will have the twrp installed.
We run again..fastboot reboot keeping v + pressed.
We enter in recovery, we select clean:
Factory reset
Advanced wipes and we mark everything, we must have a usb-otg to put the files after the recovery.

Hi some people has report bugs after rooting.
Sound calls,loss of data and excessive lag.Following these instructions solves that.
Once rooted the tf we must turn it on through recovery or connecting the charger. Do not start pressing v- and power.There are functions that do not go well.
you install the 5.9 21s by fastboot and then do the process.
Good morning everyone.
DRIVERS.

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH - Unlock Boot loader CRITICAL is FALSE mayby you use a bad compilation of ADB and fastboot.
Not every compilation understands the command -> fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Make sure your compilation has the following constituent files:
adb.exe
fastboot.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
libwinpthread-1.dll
Important in this compilation is a file libwinpthread-1.dll
Hope I helped you.

Not far away, a planet nearby...
After some research, apparently, there is no longer any free way to unlock the bootloader....
So I went to the cash register hoping it would be reliable XD.
For information, I still contacted nokia support
Dear,
Greetings from Nokia mobile care!
Regarding to your question I would like to inform you that it was only available for a brief period of time and is currently unavailable.
Please, this feature can be unlocked after the update. For now we would like to ask you for your patient, for sure soon will be bootloader unlocked for your model!
Please check this! This is our official website and you can learn more about that!

Bootloader of my successfully unlocked Nokia 6.0 !
I just had a driver problem on my computer.
If you are in the same case, my problem has been solved by installing "OST tool" :
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-iwfKu7PHygVV5Ok4_lSibCW4ATeFpBu
run the "launcher.exe" and restart computer
Thanks Techmesto for the key.

sorry for taking so long in getting bk to u i decided to get rid of this device and got a pixel 3 xl thanks.
stupid Nokia, why bother rooting this with a pay service!
and a bunch of instruction, waste of time!
I own a xiaomi 9 se for unlocking BL just take a week, oneplus 6 just need a second!
I'm not saying anything about techmesto, but I do not know them. Man, do you know the damage someone can do with an IMEI and S/N? Damn Nokia.

Thanks for the super indepth guide! I've been waiting for years now for HMD to release the bootloader unlock tool for the OG phones, but that's clearly never gonna happen. Techmesto charges 8 dollars for the key and the downgrade + unlock, but 5 dollars for just the key. So I think I'll follow your guide to downgrade and then purchase the key from them afterwards.
