Hi all,
I have unlocked my bootloader with the steps from laser nice job ... then i installed the new doom kernel and everything was fine.... The only thing that was wrong was that i didnt could sent any sms. So i flashed the right baseband and the sms was fine but know i`ve got the se letters back....
So is my bootloader unlocked our what did i do wrong
i'm new, but..
ok i did not unlock my BL, but..
i think that unlocking the BL is permenant (u cannot relock/undo the unlock)
so, the 'Sony Ericsson' that you see now does not mean that you lost your bootloader. (i know that if u unlock BL, u gett a new boot screen, but maybe the bootscreen might have just accedentally rolled back to the original). i dont think bootloader can ever be deleted once unlocked. SO MATE, congrads, u still have the BOOTLOADER!

Is it possible to brick the device? Can you send me a guide on how to do it?
You can brick your device only if you don't pay attention on the guide step by step, search here you can find anything, search for flash a fastboot rom after you download it from Xiaomi prefer a Dev fastboot rom!!

Awesome, thanks for sharing this. After unlocking the bootloader, can you then flash the Verizon software and have an unlocked bootloader?

What's all missing on the Eng firmware as far as keeping it from being a daily driver? Does data and wifi work on Verizon?

You can side load the playstore. Try Here
What do you mean no notification bar? Is it just in expanded desktop or something?

Bump on the notification bar. What does it mean that there is no notification bar? Is it just blank at the top of the screen? Also, did you get the playstore working from the link I provided?
@aamszia Also, I'm curious if you can flash the unlocked firmware on the device after the bootloader is unlocked? I'm thinking it would allow the software modifications because ethe latest firmware was designed to work with the unlock app Asus provided.
Hello
How you flashed this firmwares? Which program you used?

I just received my phone today. How did you flash this ENG Firmware so that I can see what I can get working? I have tried the Asus Flashtool, and also trying to flash it through adb. Do you have any directions that you would mind providing?
use ASUS Flash tool , select model , Put phone in FASTBOOT and than START

Thanks man! I have the ENG firmware installed now. It is very barebones.
Have you tried flashing the TWRP through fastboot that is in the developers section? I think maybe the WW firmware could then be flashed if TWRP is able to be loaded because the WW firmware seems to be in zip/flash format from asus's site.
Also, I'm getting: FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed) even after enabling OEM unlock in developer's settings when trying to unlock the bootloader.
Fastboot oem unlock works when you are ENG Firmware .. but we have no TWRP ...

Can you share your version of Asus Flash Tool?
Thanks
Anyone installed TWRP and willing to write a little tutorial? I'm already bootloader unlocked and rooted, but a bad xposed module caused a factory reset. So I figure now's the time. Also, I've heard TWRP only works on Oreo, is it possible to downgrade by flashing the Oreo .kdz? I've seen that both Pie and Oreo have the same AntiRollBack version, but I'd like to confirm with anyone who's actually done it. Also, are there any custom ROMs or working GSIs? I feel bad for asking but it seems like these forums have almost totally died and there is definitely information out there that doesn't get posted here.
How did you unlock the bootloader?

Paid someone with an Octoplus box to unlock it remotely.
Can I please get the info
im a noob when it comes to this phone and not in the mood to brick it quite just yet so i have a quick question.
im getting the super bad battery drain issue and want to switch to the eu stock rom, im on global rom.
do i have to unlock the bootloader to switch to another region rom or can i just use the XIAOmitool v2 to switch over?
i have 5 days and 4 hours before i can unlock my bootloader and would like to get the rom switched over this weekend.
thank you.
nevermind i will wait guess i do need the unlock.
i cane from samsung and never had to unlock bootloader to switch to the unlocked rom
Xiaomitool can't achieve what you can't already do through adb/fastboot and can't bypass bootloader lock so yes you have to unlock the bootloader to flash a different region stock ROM.
Make sure to NOT relock it afterwards or it'll be a hard brick. Only relock if the ROM is the Global one in your case.
