Hello. I have a lg v20 H990N. I flashed TWRP by dirty santa method and wanted to go back to stock. As per the instructions on the link https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20...-h990-t3624296, I used method 1a for going back to stock. I ran the code as mentioned in the method while using my backed up "abootbackup.img" but I accidently ran the code twice.
Code:
dd if=abootbackup.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/aboot
sync
sleep 30
sync
After booting to bootloader. this is what I see written on the boot loader screen.

Welcome to fastboot mode for bootloader unlock:
*Quick Guidnance
1) Read Device Id
fastboot oem device-id
2) Write unlock key
fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin
3) Check boiotloader is unlocked
Fastboot getvar unlocked
*How to exit fastboot mide
USe "Fastboot reboot' command if fastboot is available
________________________________________
This is the meassage that pops up in fastboot. I can use fastboot but can't use "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-1-h990.img" as it exits with error that remote: device is locked. I can't flash kdz with lg Up as Lg up says " there is no haadset connected". TWRP recovery is also not boot neither is the nougat rom that was installed. More \over my device is shown as "Kedacom USB device " in device manager in fastboot mode. Not in Com ports.
It apperas that my bootloader has locked somehow after flashing abootbackup and I can't unlock it as h990N is not supported by LG to unlock bootloader. screenshot attached.
Please help!!!
Yeah flashing the stock bootloader relocks most v20 variants, (the dirty santa bootloader can't truely unlock them, it just ignores the lock)
I'm not sure what you expected? Your link is broken, but it sounds like you reflashed stock firmware and then the stock bootloader and expected to be in a different situation than a fresh unrooted device?
You should be able to boot normally to Android or boot I to download mode and reroot from scratch.

Hello.
Long story short:
I have a OnePlus2, I can boot in Fastboot mode and my PC does recignize the fastboot device.
fastboot oem device-info says that Bootloader is locked and when I try to unlock (fastboot oem unlock) it states "okay" but cannot boot into system because there is none installed. -> Bootloop
I cannot boot into recovery nor install a recovery due to the locked bootloader.
My Question:
Is there a way to unlock the bootloader in fastboot and/or install a boot.img?
I am happy for any help that I get.
Have a good day/night

No, but why you don't have system?
You have stock recovery download official signed full zip and flash it. Recovery.
Also unbrick guide using the one you need Qualcomm drivers

I seem to have lost the ability to unlock the bootloader of my XT1700. I previously had unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP and SuperSU, which took a while to figure out, but it worked. Today I tried to install a newer version of the stock firmware using SP flash tool (from here), which seemed to work fine, except now I find I am unable to reinstalled TWRP or SuperSU because I cannot unlock the boot loader.
When the phone boots, I still see the "device unlocked" message, and I have enabled oem unlocking and USB debugging in the developer options menu, however when I go into fastboot mode, if I run the "fastboot oem unlock" command, when the phone prompts me to press up or down, I get an "unlocking failed" error, and Fastboot reports "Unlock operation is not allowed"
Any ideas on how I can unlock this device again?
So it seems like those firmware images must have locked boot loaders. I ended up installing an xt1706 firmware instead (from here) and was able to unlock the boot loader successfully.
Anyone know where to get xt1700 stock firmwares with unlocked boot loader?
what i messed up?
i have installed custom official cynogen14.1 rom and twrp recovery. everything was working fine.
but i messed up with bootloader. I have locked oem from fastboot mode without enabling option for oem unlocking in developer settings.
Now as my phone have custom rom and twrp installed it went into bootloop and only shows zuk logo and again restart.
What i diid till now?
i have opened backcover so that i can turn of bootloop and phone by disconecting battery.
I can enter into fastboot mode by pressing vol.+ and vol- buttons sumultaneously and connecting usb cable.
But i cannot unlock bootloader as it says unlocking bootloader not allowed. I have tried device specific commads like "fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock" and "fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock-go" but nothing works.
i have stock recovery image but cannot flash while bootloader is locked.
i can enter into adb sideload by following method:
by loading stock recovery by typing "fastboot boot recovery.img" (this does not work with twrp as it says signature varification failed)
and then selecting apply update >> selecting apply fron adb
this much i can do does anyone knows how to recover from such a state.
please help me or my phone will be a waste.
is there any way to install stock recovery i think phone will boot properly if i managed to install stock recovery.
I messed up.
Flashed LineageOS 14.1,
Forgot to flash gaaps,
Afterward, for some reason could not enter TWRP and in 'Developers Options ' there was no option to OEM Unlock so I could not do 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' to regain TWRP.
tried to use the 'dload' method to return to stock 6.0.
message said uptade successful.
The phone now does not boot, does not enter erecovery, does not enter the updater (Power Button+Vol. Up+Vol. Down)
Only thing it does is enter fastboot (it says PHONE Unlocked and FRP Lock).
Can you help me?
Edit 1 : In fastboot mode only commands with fastboot work, no adb.
Because it is a Huawei the command 'fastboot oem unlock' does not work.
Edit 2 :Tried to 'fastboot flash system sistem.img' to flash the system.img from the update.app of stock android, unfortunately with the phone OEM Locked there is very little I can do with fastboot.
If anyone can direct me to a fastboot friendly update.zip that has the android-info.txt that seems to be required for for flashing I would apreciate it. (I have read that you can flash google-signed update.zip's while having OEM Lock)
Edit 3 : Looking through XDA I have found user with a similar issue to mine that have been able to enter recovery update after either letting the batery run dry or using fastboot to erase/format userdata and cache, the result for me is again 'FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)'.
Will be sending the P9 to Huawei and see what they can do with this.
Edit 4 : Huawei replaced the board and the battery (apparently it died during the trip to the repair center) they accepted the warranty despite the fact the phone was stuck on the warning screen that said the phone was unlocked.
I have a A2017U that I just downgraded to B35 using this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-axon-7-universal-unbrick-t3814413
I want to lock the bootloader to stop the annoying boot warning but can't get into fastboot when using AXON7TOOLKIT.
I tried flashing A2017U_FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL (downloaded from https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/complete-guide-to-unlocking-installing-t3561128) through miFlash but I still can't get into the bootloader.
What can I do?
EDIT: Thanks everyone! I used the toolkit to unlock the bootloader again, then locked it. For some reason I couldn't access the bootloader even though i got the bootloader ulocked warning.

You only want to lock it because of the boot warning? There are flashables to get rid of that... I dom't know which exact files there are for stock B35 or Oreo but there are some going around.
hell you could even go custom and use the splash bootstack if you wanted.
If you want to lock anyways, you have to get an A2017U B19 package and flash it via EDL Tool (or MiFlash). Right after that you'll have fastboot. enable oem unlocking then enter fastboot and issue fastboot oem lock and you're done. But it's way too overkill if you want to just get rid of the 5 sec screen

you need to flash original stock rom for your device trough edl. (rom your device came from factory,marshmallow)
then boot into system,unlock developer options.Allow oem unlock and turn on usb debugging.Now connect phone to laptop and check the dialogue on your phone that ask for usb debug.Unplug phone.
When you did this you want to flash TWRP trough EDL.
Now boot in TWRP and flash UnlockbootloaderPackage from DrakenFX.
Reboot system.
Now turn off your device and boot into fastboot,connect your phone with laptop and open ADB terminal on your laptop or use Axon7toolkit.
In terminal enter fastboot oem lock,or in axon7toolkit choose lock bootloader.
Your bootloader is now locked.
PS: you dont need locked bootloader to recieve ota's,and make sure you are on the firmware your device came shipped with!!
You need a locked bootloader to get rid of the warning message ( dont flash any mod package that claims it delete the warning page)
