Hi everyone, first message here, and not for the best..
Here's the story.
Yesterday evening, I tried to install Xposed Framework, but I was stuck in a boot loop (even when I tried to uninstall it), so I "dirty" flashed a Nougat build on my device. Phone was back alive, despite a bug from the mobile data.
Today, I had to restart my phone because of this issue, but now, my phone is somehow bricked. Bootloader is relocked (I dont know how the **** it happened), so I can't do anything, as the phone is stuck on a bootloop, and I don't have TWRP anymore. I tried fastboot, but nothing is working on it. Even VNS Toolkit is no use. I tried a force update with the UPDATE.APP, but I'm still in a bootloop.
So, tl;dr, phone bricked, bootloader locked, no recovery, and no code to unlock my bootloader.
Please XDA people, help me !!
You should try to get your unlock code and unlock your bootloader again, you can find the informations of the phone on the original box.
DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL XPOSED ON NOUGAT, there is still no Xposed version for nougat.
It was Xposed for MM, so after my fail, I decided to update to N.
On the box, I have IMEI1 and IMEI2, and the SN. But I don't have the "PIN" verification code (you can only get it via HMI code..) So I think I'll never be able to unlock my BL :/
I had the same issue lost my bootloader unlock code but there is another way to get bootloader unlock code: DC unlocker
Just follow instructions on there site for p9 lite
On the tool set the manufacturer to "huawei phones" not modems. I made that mistake too first
You need to buy 4 credits to unlock = 4 euros so the tool is not free
Good luck
Email huawei to get your unlock code. It's free!
Just send an email to them

Ok bro you want a lolly now? It's a sillicon lotery you were lucky thats all
I dont earn anything with this btw just helping for alternatives bcause some people cant afford waiting for huawei mail if there phone is bricked
Hi everyone, quick update.
I tried to get my BL unlock code from Huawei, but they wanted my Product ID (how nice of them..)
DC-Unlocker is no use for me, as I only could boot into fastboot.
My service provider helped me a lot, and told me to wipe data/factory reset via the Vol+/Power button method. Somehow, it kinda worked, because now the phone is booting, I have the configuration running, selecting language, region, Wifi, but after Wifi+ option, I have the "Checking Info" window, but it crash, and goes back to Wifi+ config.
So now, I'm stuck here...
UPDATE 2:
I managed to get my BL unlock code !!
But now, fastboot is not letting me unlock it (fastboot: command not allowed.) I'm desperate !! Any reasons why ?
UP3:
Phone is FRP Locked, I'm pretty sure I can't go further because of this
Fastboot wont work bcause you havent enabled usb debugging mode and you cant enable bcause you cant boot in the rom
Have you tried the 336 nougat update.app?

Hi ! Can you provide me a link for full update ? Thanks
Hey, guys, i figured a workaround on how to unlock Bootloader if stuck with 86012 error and can't bind account.
Follow the instructions,
1) First apply for unlocking permissions from http://en.miui.com/unlock/ . U will receive a sms after a day or two.
2) Now goto developer mode and enable bootloader unlock and check if u can bind mi account. If not, then do this
3) Download older version of Mi unlock tool here
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B611uyXmi12kRjU4VHpwaWF0UHc/view?usp=sharing
4) Mi Pc Suite and Mi Flash Tool installers if needed to install drivers.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B611uyXmi12kWm9EQWhLZUJ0dVE/view?usp=sharing
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B611uyXmi12kQzctQm5EY2lFOXc/view?usp=sharing
5) Run the application. Sign in. Hold volume down and power button to enter bootloader mode.
6) Hit unlock in Mi Unlock Tool. if it says can't find device then goto windows device manager and under Android phone update the Driver Software via internet and make sure it says Xiaomi Corp.
7) Now try to hit unlock button again and this time it will definitely work.
Hit Thanks if it worked for you bcoz even i was pissed i couldnt unlock bootloader and fedup of waiting.
Didn't work for me. Trying to unlock bootloader with latest mi unlock tool since 10-15 days got permission but stuck at 99% account binding. And now tried with older version still no luck it stops at 50% and says couldn't verify device. Its frustrating now.

Actually I am already having one redmi 3s and I unlocked its bootloader 6 months ago. After buying new device I created new account and carried the same process of unlocking bootloader ( from permission to unlocking) but it didn't work on that account. I tried with the older account and voilla!! Bootloader unlocked. In newer account after getting permission I tried 10-12 days but no luck.

As per Day 7 you flashed the Global Beta Rom. How did you do that without unlocking the Bootloader? Which rom file did you use? The .zip or the .tgz? I have been trying to flash the global beta/trying to downgrade for a week and I have failed every time. Mind helping me out?
I bought the MI6 and find out that without tools or unlock bootloader, there is no way to flash a global rom to china rom. My Mimax convenient EDL cannot be used in Mi6.
Unlock is easy, but since mine is new and under warranty, i prefer a Xiaomi rom.
Luckily i fond this tool:
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0BwypTnSm1wlhTkp0ai1LUXZKdkk
Credit to the dev http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=663972&highlight=xiaomitool
Download this, run, and follow the screen.
it will check your boot, recovery, then list the rom that possible to install.
Choose global, lets it download, choose recovery and the tool do the rest.
Thank you. I will give it a try on " bricked" mi5 and new mi6.
This tool make unlock bootloader automatically... so your warranty is gone after

Just ask for permission to unlock bootloader, usually takes a week or so. Unlock > flash > lock again. No need to experiment with some tools or whatnot official.

I already had been using the phone for long enough, the permission took 4 hours to go through. Never been an active user of their services either.
Actually I am looking for a way to wipe whole partition as my second-hand mi6 is binding with a mi account which is not mine.
Flashing in EDL mode is easy to flash any official from you want but asking to unlock the device after setting up.
Though there is some tricks can be done to bypass the checking, I cannot log on my mi account or even restart device.
I had just had a tried as this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/how-to/installing-twrp-locked-bootloader-t3406501
To flash TWRP directly by MiFlash. But fail to boot in it with a 'the system has been corrupted'.
Just wanna give more ways to flash or unlock with the limitation of officially unlock BL
Please dd and pm me your frp, ftm, and if you are willing to, factory reset and then enable oem unlock, and send your userdata partition, all with the oem unlock allowed.
Thanks!

On the LG V40 if the frp partition from a phone with the OEM lock flag triggered is dd'd to another device, the bootloader will allow unlocking, additionally, the ftm partition on the v40 seems to carry the imei so I assume the same is true for the Pixel, I'd understand if you didnt want to share that partition but I think if the phones imei registers as a Google store one, that could help trick it into working.
Is there any way an exchange can be done here for the Verizon software that enables WiFi calling, volte, voicemail, and video calling? Is that Verizon software out there somewhere? If you guys are trying to root and unlock vzw phones you'll be wiping and starting with a fresh phone anyway. Is that a good time to extract these files and provide them?

Unfortunately I already was able to get these from someone with a Google Store unlocked one, the dd'd partitions didnt stick through a reboot, and it wasnt able to oem unlock, ive been messing with the oemlock-bridge-client, so far chaning the device_lock status from 1 to 0 does nothing :/

I'll try when I get home, but I don't know if it'll be any different than using the "reboot bootloader" command.
No offence but,why are people still trying to unlock/root the "unlockable/unrootable" variants of this phone? Its like what 3-4 years old? Like i get trying to root/unlock them when they 1st come out even though like come on you should've known by now. But now there are way better phones. Everyone is offering good deals for trade in's. I think its time to give up.
I would not have even rooted android 10 if Google music had a dark mode. (literally the only thing i use root for now) Oh and to fix the things google ****ed up like the lock and unlock sound and battery sound.

Quick and simple bc after sifting through this website I accidently figured it out. First use the script from this post - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus-pure-debloat.4157691/ then check dev options and OEM unlocking should be ungreyed out. Grab your oneplus unlock by running this command - "fastboot oem get_unlock_code" Then go to - https://www.oneplus.com/unlock_token submit your token and serial number and wait exactly one week to the day. Download this tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ck-twrp-factory-image-stock-recovery.3358711/ and you can unlock the bootload with your unlock.bin file. After that whats next is up too you!
I don't know about SIM unlocking, however I did figure out which package specifically enables the toggle for OEM unlocking in the Developer Options.
So I took a look at the debloat thread linked above and I went through the list of packages and I was uninstalling them on my phone one by one until I found the one that enabled the toggle for OEM unlocking in the Developer Options.
When I uninstalled the package com.qualcomm.qti.uim, the toggle for OEM unlocking was no longer greyed out.
That's a great find. Is it enough to simply force-stop the package or does it need to be disabled/uninstalled?
Might try this on the OP9 or OP10 if I get one.

I didn't see if force stopping it worked or not so I wouldn't be able to answer that. I just uninstalled it with adb.
Title of tread said sim-unlocking, after reading through, it only mentions bootloader unlocking via the OnePlus website and all in one flashing tool. Yes it may bypassed the carrier restriction for bootloader unlocking, but is the phone actually sim unlocked? As you can use it with another carrier?
But I agree, finding out com.qualcomm.qti.uim being the toggle for bootloader unlock is great find.
I disabled com.qualcomm.qti.uim via ADB myself and while 'OEM Unlocking" is no longer grey and you can enable the option the bootloader for me is still locked. My OnePlus 8T model is through T-Mobile

gotta complete the whole process homie.. AFTER doing the uninstall or disable of com.qualcomm.qti.uim, then you gotta flip the toggle and then reboot to bootloader. after that you need to run the fastboot command, "fastboot oem get_unlock_code"... copy that code to your clipboard, then go to the Oneplus website, fill out the form and paste that code in the proper field.
After that it does take exactly one week... (to the minute) and you will need to go back to this site and you will see it change to download. Download that file and flash it via fastboot, then confirm you want to unlock and its done!
Now after that you have to remember to NEVER flash a stock firmware via fastboot again, otherwise you will re-lock your bootloader. I cannot confirm whether or not you will be able to, or even need to flash the unlock token again, but in the case of Samsung phones, when you flash the bootloader unlock token, you DO NOT get a second chance. If you unlock it once, and then accidently re-lock via flashing stock, you will be stuck with a locked bl. (EDIT: you CAN flash stock with samsung, as long as the bootloader version isnt changed. If you upgrade the BL then you are stuck!)
(Now theres a simpler way around all this but you must do your research, and look into converting your TMO-US fw to TMO-EU ... this can be done without unlocking the bootloader. And after the conversion, if you disable the OP mentioned file, you can simply toggle, and run the "fastboot oem unlock" command and thats it... no token file needed! And i am in Texas, so i can confirm 100% that ALL of the bands are active and available, and i get 5g with absolutely no problem... In fact my phone runs quicker and gets better battery life on the EU fw. )
Then when your phone is fully paid off, simply flash back to the US fw and you can have them Sim unlock you and you can either go thru the normal unlocking process, or you can go back to the EU... but either way no foul, no harm!
So to get T-Mobile to do it on their end do this.
Go on their site and facebook, keep telling them this. "I'm a developer who can't develop app's on my device, can you please allow my phone to be unlocked." Most will tell you it needs to be paid off, but you quite possibly will get that disgruntled worker or guy who just doesn't care. Took me 5 tries, then the guy I got was like, "okay I'll do it for you!" #boomdone
Social engineering at its finest.

I have had this same issue. I bought the 8T+5G from OnePlus online store TMobile version (because the unlocked versions were sold out). Been back and forth betwee TMobile and OnePlus for 4 days, and OnePlus finally says they nor Tmobile can unlock the device until it has been used on Tmobile's service for 45 days (part of the unlock policy). I knew this, but thought surely someone can help me. OnePlus assured me that the IMEI number does not enter into the system as an unlockable phone until after the 45 days, and that NOBODY can unlock the phone until then... Am I screwed for 40 more days???? This in my opinion is a scam to force people to use a service they may not want.
i am shop in istanbul come to me oneplus 8t 5g t-mobile i ask whole world for simlock no one can and one of customer tell me i can unlock he take device for 3 hour he come back and device unlocked and he tell me i can do anything in oneplus phones i got crazy how he did this ? anyone know how ?

Yeah. I'm going to wait it out. Counting down the days I'm chained to T-Mobile (38 left). I actually wanted their service so it isn't an inconvenience, but I hate being forced to do anything, much less wait to do what I wanted to do from day one, which is Flash Roms. I'm looking at Lineage too. So I will update this post once I get to that point. Here's hoping they keep their word, because my 15 day return policy on the phone runs out in two days.
Alright folks I've been with Samsung over a decade and just got my first Oneplus (8T+5G KB2007) so don't start yelling at me just yet. Got this thing on Amazon and appears to be new. I'm sim/network unlocked through TMO. My OEM Unlock was never greyed out. I can toggle no problem. However, I went through the debloat described above because of the following problem: Sticks on "waiting for any device" after running "fastboot oem get_unlock_code" Please tell me this is an easy fix. I already reinstalled the google driver through SDK Manager bla bla bla.... Am I missing something simple? Any help would be appreciated. THX

I should've done more research myself. Galaxy was about to quit on me so I grabbed this one specifically because it was rated as one of the very top phones for development. If it wasn't such a rush I would've spent more time.

Have you checked if your phone is properly connected to your computer? Check using "fastboot devices" to see if your device is detected, and if it is not, then go within the Windows Device Manager and install the appropriate driver from Google, which can be found by searching "Google Fastboot Driver".

It doesn't show it shows under adb devices but not fastboot devices. Let me find the fastboot driver real quick and try. Thanks

Holy ****.... finally! I just needed the OnePlus_usb_driver_setup.exe in order to install the right driver from said directory. Big thanks man. Really!

Does this still work on the recent 8T phones? Please do keep us updated on your situation. I'm thinking about buying this phone unlock the boot-loader, Sim unlock and get Lineage on it. I don't mind 45 days if they actually unlock it

So it was actually 40 days, I don't know why I said 45. Anyway, even after (48 days), it took me calling TMOBILE and having someone talk to their (OEM team) and start a conversation with them. 3 days later I was able to SIM unlock the phone. I was able to toggle OEM unlocking. Did the Fastboot command to get the Unlock Code, and sent it to OnePlus for "7 days". What the crap is all of this hassle? I left Android and went to Apple for 7 years. When I left, you could unlock a bootloader in minutes. For being so keen on allowing us to unlock our phones, it seems they give you a Circus of Hoops to jump thru "on Their timeline". Anyway, I actually think I may have screwed up the code because it was displayed on two lines from Fastboot. I sent it as one line. Hoping they sort it out and I don't have to reapply and wait another 7 days. What a mess!
