C:\adb>fastboot flash unlock unknown partition 'unlock' error: cannot determine image
Hi, bought a nexus 6 p today, did the following. Set oem to be unlocked in developer options. Then set usb debugging to on. THen went to fast boot mode. Then, typed fastboot flash unlock, and confirmed on the device. The device booted back in to bootloader, and then I flashed the latest rom. But once I flash recovery and reboot, the phone is stuck, no matter what rom I flash, and when I try to lock or unlock the bootloader I get C:\adb>fastboot flash unlock
unknown partition 'unlock'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'unlock'
Any help how to get my phone back please.
Did you read the guide here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
The command you specified is not the correct one to unlock the device, the correct command is :
fastboot flashing unlock
Read the guide i linked. It will save you a lot of questions during this process.
Hey guys! Is there any way to unlock Redmi Pro's bootloader without waiting for permission from Xiaomi? Have anybody found a way to bypass it?
easy, first make sure you have spflash tool and a working fastboot rom (just in case of trouble)
Next make sure your computer has working fastboot and adb.
Enable USB debugging on the device.
Enable OEM unlock in the Developer options settings on the device.
Connect the device to the computer through USB.
From a terminal on a computer, type the following to boot the device into fastboot mode:
adb reboot bootloader
Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing fastboot devices
If you don't see your device serial number, and instead see "<waiting for device>", fastboot is not configured properly on your machine.
From the same terminal, type the following command to unlock the bootloader:
fastboot oem unlock
Device is wiped & unlocked & no OS
Now flash twrp, reboot into it and copy xiaomi.eu rom on card & install
Good luck

EDIT: i just switched to Developer ROM and still nothing.

I can't unlock it using fastboot oem unlock since it's mediatek device =/ When I try I get
(bootloader) Start unlock flow
FAILED (remote:
Unlock failed - Err:0xffffffff
)
finished. total time: 0.016s"

i unlocked that way, maybe you do something wrong
try another way without unlocking try flash twrp with spflash tool
Do you remember what miui version did you have when you unlocked this way? Maybe I can roll back to it and then try again. Were you using developer or stable rom?
i was on fake/vendor rom this i thinlk http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.ph...ndroid-6-0-smartphone-firmware-212302-161109/
Crissz, your bootloader was allready unlocked when you received your phone. You cannot do a simple oem unlock via fastboot with a xiaomi phone. It's a fact..
@KarKlim please try fastboot oem unlock-go comand too
This method does not work as many say
(bootloader) Start unlock flow
FAILED (remote:
Unlock failed - Err:0xffffffff
)

Maybe try with a new xiaomi account with different sim card.
And then from a different internet ip, from your friend or something.
I have no idea how they collect data or what. I'm just guessing here.

Not worked for redmi note 8 pro ......failed.....
Warning: This guide recommends the user to backup their data as this process includes an automated wipe
Hello XDA,
I'm suggesting this Tutorial for anyone aware of another person flashing a system on the phone, and I do not recommend it for TWRP users,
unlock bootloader using "fastboot flashing unlock"
do not run the fastboot critical unlock command if you did then relock it,
when you use your phone without magisk installed you won't be able to edit the OEM unlocking option from developer options.
when you install magisk the option OEM unlocking in developer options can be edited and switched off
switch off OEM unlocking option in dev options as long as long as you didn't unlock critical in the bootloader.
while the "critical partition is locked" this will not allow you to flash a full system from google website
only use OTA using recovery when you update
make sure you enable OEM unlocking option in dev option when you make internal partition changes
this method may be a wall against a full system change from thefts as when someone tries to flash a message will pop saying failed to update
even if someone tries to unlock the critical partitions using fastboot unlock_critical it will display failed as you disabled the OEM unlocking option from developer options.
if someone tries to factory reset from recovery this should trigger FRP ( factory reset protection) which will ask about the google account used before that factory reset.
I hope this somehow protects unlocked bootloader phones from any external changes without vulnerabilities or exploits,
Cheers. :fingers-crossed:
Hello, as the title says my device is stuck in a bootloop, I've got no access to recovery mode, and OEM Unlock is not enabled in the developer settings, meaning using fastboot flashing unlock doesn't work (I get FAILED (remote: 'oem unlock is not allowed')
I don't know if there's anything I can do, but if there is I'd love to know
Hi all, I had official MIUI Global 11 on Android 10 on a phone with unlocked bootloader and a recovery. I wanted to re-lock the bootloader, so I went to fastboot and I gave the command to lock it.
Obviously (but I didn't even imagine it) the devide DID lock, but now it doesn't start any longer. ""System destroyed" is the message.
What I want to get is one of these two results: having a working phone OR having everything erased.
What I have already tried is:
- installing a firmware via fastboot: failed because the bootloader is locked
- flashing single .img via fastboot: failed because the bootloader is locked
- erase partitions: failed because the bootloader is locked
- unlock again the phone via fastboot: failed
- unlock again the phone via Mi Unlock: failed because missing authorization in developer options
Let's add the fact that I don't have windows, but Mac, that reduces the available options.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?
You can use Platform tools in windows.As far as i know platform tools can be used both locked and unlocked bootloader.You can search on YouTube how to flash mi phones through platform tools.

I think that the only way to flash it successfully again is to use QPST ,but you need to open the phone remove battery and get 9008 port , check in YouTube.
